In our daily lives, we rarely hear about seeing death and not saving things. Once someone's life is threatened, whether it is a passerby or his former opponent, he will lend a helping hand at this moment. So, does something like this happen when you're fighting? The answer is yes.
For example, in the case of the mainland, during the entire war of resistance, although the mainland hated the Japanese army very much, we would also show our generosity when we encountered those Japanese troops who were wounded or surrendered.
In fact, not only the mainland will do this, but the US military will also rescue wounded enemy troops in combat. However, a strange thing happened during World War II. After encountering the Japanese troops who fell into the water, the American army was very happy to rescue them. But 30 minutes later, the Japanese were thrown into the sea again. So, what's going on here?
At the end of World War II, the Japanese raided Pearl Harbor, and the US military used this as a machine to smoothly cut into the battlefield. Of course, the United States and Japan fought the most fiercely, and the war that lasted the longest was the Pacific War. However, the Japanese army had been fighting for 13 consecutive years, and the US army had been in a wait-and-see state in the early stages of World War II, and at the same time, it was constantly selling arms to other countries. Therefore, we can fully see who is strong and who is weak.
In May 1944, the Japanese army and the American army fought fiercely at sea, because the strength of the American army was very strong, so the Japanese army either fled, or after the warship was sunk, struggled in the water to call for help. Among them, more than 30 Japanese troops fell into the water, which happened to be seen by an American submarine. So, out of humanitarian spirit, the American major in charge of the submarine, Richard Morton, directly rescued the 30 people.
Of course, in order to survive, this group of Japanese troops who fell into the water had long ignored whether the other side was enemy or friend. As long as they can be rescued ashore, they are willing to do anything. So, after half an hour of interrogation, the Japanese told Morton the number of their warships and the details of their mission. However, what was very surprising was that after this group of Japanese troops had given up all the family background, they were directly thrown into the sea.
So, if the American general chose to save people, why did he push them into the sea again? In fact, during World War II, there were many small movements of Japanese prisoners. Although they chose to surrender, they often joined forces in rebellion.
Therefore, the American general believes that although these Japanese troops have been rescued, they will definitely take the opportunity to rebel. Secondly, the major general's younger brother was killed by the Japanese, so in his eyes, the Japanese were too fierce. So, for the safety of the entire crew, but also to avenge his brother. The 30 Japanese troops were sent back into the sea.
