Modern people have enjoyed modern life, and it is very difficult for them to return to the jungle. However, there are times when you have to go to the mountains and forests to live because of some special things and tasks, such as soldiers. When the order comes down, the soldier must obey the order without hesitation. During World War II, countless soldiers left their hometowns for their homeland to resist the invasion of the enemy, and Japan, as an invading country, also sent many soldiers from home to cross the ocean and paid their lives for the war, and although some people did not die on the battlefield, they still handed over their lives in vain under the indoctrination of Japanese militarist ideas, and Onoda Hiroro was one of them.
Onoda was sent to fight on an island in the Philippines in 1944, where Onoda and his team fought against the Americans, in fact, at this time Japan was already at the end of the crossbow, the end was already doomed, but even so, Japan still had to struggle. Onoda has been deeply influenced by Japanese militarism since he joined the army, and Japanese culture is the samurai spirit and ninja culture, Onoda and his comrades have naturally fought tenaciously under the orders of their superiors, of course, Onoda's persistence is not only here.
In February 1945, Onoda hid in the mountains with several other comrades- Six months later, the good news of Japan's surrender spread across the globe, from the Pacific Ocean to the Antarctic, in almost every corner. For those countries that have been invaded, this war of aggression is finally over and the country can finally restore tranquility. However, for an aggressor country like Japan, they could not accept that their dreams of aggression were shattered, and Onoda was no exception. When the U.S. military reminded and informed them of the Japanese surrender in many ways, Onoda, who was in the jungle, blindly thought that this was just a conspiracy of the U.S. army, and they continued their war of aggression deep in the jungle.
Onoda, who has been fighting guerrilla warfare deep in the jungle for a long time, must have enough food and water to supply. Onoda and his comrades found a good place in the jungle that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and lived a life that was no different from that of the wildlings, but Onoda never wavered in Japan's confidence in victory from beginning to end, even if the environment was difficult, even if all his teammates left, he remained in the jungle.
Onoda fought until 1974, in the mountains for 29 years, during which time Onoda beat many Filipinos and killed and injured more than 130 people. Japan has begun the process of modernization, but Onoda is still insisting on the so-called faith in his heart in the mountains.
It wasn't until February 1974, when a Japanese explorer came deep in the jungle, found Onoda and told him that Japan had long since surrendered, that Onoda finally believed Japan's surrender. Half a month later, after receiving the order to surrender from his commander, Onoda surrendered to the Philippine Army with a saber and returned from the Philippines to Japan, which had been separated for many years, and japan at this time was no longer the Japan he knew.
