Group photo before the 1939 Japanese army invaded China.

The five people facing the camera in the photo are Japanese soldiers who invaded China, with a figure-eight beard, bandages on their legs, holding "three-eight big covers" in their hands, and two bullet boxes pinned to their waists.

At that time, the most favorite thing for Japanese soldiers to do was to sweep, because sweeping did not require war, but also to rob the chickens, ducks, and sheep of the common people, and the most written in the memoirs of many veterans who returned to Japan later was to go to the Chinese countryside to sweep, because if you go, you can eat a good meal.

Many Japanese soldiers who participated in the war of aggression against China came from poverty, they became soldiers for a bite to eat, many people only ate meat for the first time after they arrived in China, in many movies and televisions, Japanese soldiers kicked open the door of their hometown to catch the chickens inside, and some fought in order to grab chickens, which happened really in history.
