In mid-March 1939, the Japanese army mobilized a total of about 120,000 troops and launched
Battle of Nanchang
At that time, the commander of the Eleventh Army was in command of the campaign
Okamura Ninji
。
On March 20, Okamura Commanded the Japanese 101st and 106th Divisions to forcibly cross the Xiushui River, and the two sides fought extremely fiercely. In the end, the Chinese defenders were not supported, and the entire line collapsed.
When our army was defeated, the 103rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese 101st Division was responsible for pursuing our army
Ken Iino Ten Greats
As the captain of the squadron. He looked at the Chinese troops fleeing in all directions in front of him, and looked very arrogant.
And the gun addiction is so big that he gives his subordinates a gun early and begins to show off his excellent shooting skills
After one shot after another, some people from our army who were fleeing in front of them kept falling, and Ken Iino triumphantly showed off his marksmanship.
Suddenly, there was another gunshot, and the Japanese officers all applauded in unison, praising the general's accurate marksmanship.
However, he found that none of the Chinese soldiers in front of him had fallen, but Kenji Iino's body fell to the ground with a thud, which made the Japanese army panic!
They quickly walked over to Kenshiro Iino's body and found him shot twice, and the blood donation lay out of his mouth and nose...
Kenshiro Iino's aide-de-camp was Inada Kamezaburō Inada Kamezaburō, who immediately ordered an investigation in the vicinity.
In the end, more than ten meters behind Kenshi Iino, there was a Chinese soldier, the barrel of the gun in his hand was still hot, and the person who killed the Japanese general Kenshi Iino was him.
His name was Qiang Sanwa, a brave soldier who killed the Japanese wing commander in the last moments of his life, and he was the corporal squad leader of the 721st Regiment of the 141st Division of the 32nd Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
This incident was not recorded in Chinese war history materials until 1981, when mr. Fumitsu Waiyama, a historian of the Japanese army, published a book called
Overview of the Personnel of The Army and Navy Admirals. Army
Books.
The book is based on the original military file data, mainly a systematic introduction to the resumes of Japanese army officers with the rank of general in the Japanese army that invaded China that year, and the specific causes of death of many of the dead, including General Ken Iino.
Because of him, the matter of Qiang Sanwa was known to the world, and a Japanese army major general shot a defeated Chinese army corporal.
The name Qiang Sanwa has since been recorded in the annals of Chinese history, so that the hero's name has not been buried.
