"Don't be afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves!" Darry said in "Hello, Halley's Comet", what a hit!
In December 1904, Seishiro Sakagaki followed his troops on the Northeast China Front for the first time. China's endless land, rich resources, and fat sheep made him stunned!
He secretly thought, "If the Empire of Japan had these resources one day, it would be absolutely invincible!" ”
The idea of possessing oneself was ingrained in his mind! Since then, he has been thinking about every inch of China's land!

Chūgoku connoisseur "Seishirō Sakagaki", Tomomi Tomohe
Seishiro Sakagaki's grandfather, Uetake (Sakagin), was a master lecturer and Shinto. During the Meiji Restoration, he lived in seclusion in the countryside and devoted himself to the study of sinology.
His father, Masatoku, was also a Shintomi, serving as a long-time governor and headmaster of the Kawahara Home Economics Girls' School. Sakagaki lived with his grandparents since childhood, and his grandfather regarded him as a treasure in his hand.
From the age of 4, his grandfather began to teach him to learn Sinology, and his proficiency in Chinese was almost on par with his native language.
It was precisely because he was well versed in Chinese folk customs and spoke fluent Chinese that in the second year of his graduation, he was sent to Yunnan, China as a researcher by the Japanese Military Staff. In the future, it became one of the "three major China links" in the Japanese Army.
In 1891, Sakagaki entered the village's "Numa Palace Elementary School" and was later admitted to the famous "Morioka Junior High School" in Japan, where he studied with his two elder brothers.
But Sakagaki was half a head shorter than his peers from a young age, but his head was oversized. It is said that the child with the big head is smart, but he is not careful about learning, so his grades are mediocre.
At that time, after the Sino-Japanese War, a "military fever" arose among young Japanese students. ”
In 1899, after two years at Morioka Junior High School, Sakagaki rushed to apply for the "Sendai Army Local Kindergarten School" but was rejected because he was too short.
However, Sakagaki was very stubborn in insisting on his choice, and in order to go to land, he and the military doctor had to grind soft bubbles. At a young age, he unswervingly swore an oath "Allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor!" "The determination to be loyal to the Empire of Japan!"
His persistence eventually inspired the military doctor, and he made an exception to take care of him and enter Lu You. After studying in Lu You for a few years, his height grew a lot.
In 1903, at the age of 18, Sakagaki was admitted to the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer College and became the eighteenth student of the school. Among the eighteenth term of students, many "big figures" who invaded China were born, and became the eighteenth period of glory.

Fanatical martial, bloodthirsty and belligerent "hot-blooded youth"
While studying in Sendai, The Superintendent of Theoetsu Kenkichi, known as the "God of War" of the Japanese Army, was killed in battle in the Russo-Japanese War.
He advocated brutal training for students and honed their will. Only in the future war can we overcome any difficulties and obstacles, and there is no disadvantage.
Sakagaki was deeply capable of this and always implemented this proposition in his future leadership. Under the influence of his ideas, Sakagaki grew into a bloodthirsty, belligerent, fanatical and martial young officer.
In November 1904, at the age of 19, Sakagaki graduated and was awarded the rank of infantry corporal as an infantry squad leader. At this time, when the Russo-Japanese War broke out, Sakagaki followed his troops to the Northeast Front, and his blood boiled.
In this war of aggression, with the belief that he was crushed to pieces and loyal to the "emperor", Sakagaki enthusiastically threw himself into the war.
Once, Sakagaki's left shin was pierced by a bullet, and his wounds were very serious, and he still insisted on fighting on the front line and refused to retreat.
His men forcibly carried him off the line of fire and took him to the hospital, where he would heal and the war would end. In the first battle, his opportunity to "fight and make meritorious contributions" was ruined, which made him chafed!
The war lasted 20 months and ended with the victory of Japan over mighty Russia on the island of guts. Such an ending has also boosted Japan's appetite and made their ambitions expand day by day!
When they come to China, they hate that they can't swallow me in one bite!
When they stepped into Chinese land, they even said that they could take China in just three months! Unexpectedly, he began a 14-year war of aggression against China!
Because of their invasion, the Chinese people began a fierce battle of wits and courage, which was at stake!
03.
Lured Down China and defeated Maicheng
He and Kenji Toihara, who were also Class A war criminals, plotted against the Beiyang warlords Duan Qirui, Wu Peifu, and Sun Chuanfang in an attempt to establish a pro-Japanese regime in Beiping.
None of these people are fuel-efficient lamps, they superficially promise, and do not act; Or when Sakagaki came to visit, he directly let him eat the closed door soup.
Banyuan was not discouraged, and became more and more courageous, and later shifted his target to Zhang Jingyao, who was the governor of Hunan.
On May 7, 1933, the traitor Zhang Jingyao was stabbed to death at the Six Kingdoms Hotel, for which Sakagaki spent 7 million oceans and finally the bamboo basket was empty.
The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Nobuyoshi Muto, was very dissatisfied with his recent performance and dismissed him from all his positions in a fit of rage.
He was ordered to inspect and tour "Europe, India, the Philippines, and other places" as a special commissioner of the General Staff, but in fact to find an oil head to temporarily leave the center of power in China.

Bold, crazy war demon
In 1913, Sakagaki was transferred back to China and entered the 28th phase of the Japanese Army Academy to continue his studies.
After graduating three years later, Sakagaki's tactics and ideas were more driven to maturity, and he no longer rushed forward recklessly like a stunned youth!
In Fengtian, Sakagaki, who was a senior staff officer in the Kwantung Army, was reunited with the old Ishihara Guan'er. The two began to "join forces" to play a conspiracy to invade our northeast.
He personally helped expand the Mongol army and facilitated talks between King De and the commander of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro. It tried to split Mongolia out of China and create a Mongol state controlled by the Japanese.
Their attempts were met with severe counterattacks by the Chinese army, and in 1936 the Battle of the Bailing Temple was won by Fu Zuoyibu, and the four brigades of the Mongol Army were reversed.
Banyuan's adviser, Tanaka Langji, fled in a panic, which was the first time that the Chinese army achieved a comprehensive victory in the local war of resistance after the 918 Incident. This greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the whole country to resist Japan!
Sakagaki was not reconciled, and on July 7, 1937, the Japanese army provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident and launched a comprehensive war of aggression against China.
He contacted the Tojo Ying Aircraft Corps, pursued Fu Zuoyi's troops, and extended the war situation to the Shanxi Plateau, which greatly exceeded the plans of the North China Army.
In early September, when the Tojo Hideki Corps drew the main force of the Second World War in China to the vicinity of Datong, Sakagaki suddenly turned his troops around and attacked the Jin army to defeat Liu Fengbin's division, and the flying troops took Pingxing Pass directly.
After breaking through the first line of the Inner Great Wall, Yan Xishan, commander of China's Second Theater of Operations, suddenly realized that he had a hasty response to the battle, and the Jin army was forced to retreat across the board.
On October 13, Sakagaki led the 5th Division of 30,000 men and 95 cannons to direct the 200,000 Chinese troops' fortified Xinkou position. It's the craziest thing the craziest commander can do!
The "Battle of Xinkou" lasted for 23 days, and under the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, it caused the tragic consequences of the death and injury of several generals and officers below Hao Mengling, commander of the Ninth Army of the Chinese Army, and 100,000 soldiers.
On October 26, Shijiazhuang was captured, and the main force of the Japanese army in Baoding continued to advance towards Taiyuan, and the Chinese army in Xinkou was attacked in the abdomen. Abandoned on November 3, Sakagaki chased dozens of divisions of the Chinese army in a state of collapse. On November 9, capture Taiyuan!
Sakagaki heard that the Setani Brigade of the Tenth Division was trapped in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and personally led two brigades to contain Zhang Zizhong's troops.
He then ordered his men to bring 4 brigades to pass through the 70,000 troops of Tombaugh and rescue the Setani Brigade to retreat. A month later, he made a comeback to participate in the Great Siege of Xuzhou.

Sent to the gallows
In April 1945, towards the end of World War II, Sakagaki was appointed commander of the 7th Front, commanding the 16th Army, the 25th Army, and the 29th Army, with headquarters in Singapore.
Commanded the Japanese in allied forces in the East Indies and Malaysia. On August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender! In September, Sakagaki led the Seventh Front to surrender to the British in Singapore.
Sakagaki was well aware of the deep sins of participating in all the wars of aggression against China, and actively participated in the wars against Korea and Southeast Asia.
He wanted to escape the British punishment and flee to South America. He paid a bribe worth 300,000 platinum, gold and natural diamonds to Smith, the Commander of the British Army in Singapore.
Smith saw Sakagaki's thoughts and pretended to accept it first, but privately ordered his subordinates to take strict care of him. In December 1945, the mischievous Class A war criminal Sakagaki was arrested in Singapore and pressed to Tokyo, where he awaited trial at Sugamo Prison.
In 1946, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East tried 28 Class A war criminals.
In 1948, Sakagaki was sentenced to ten counts of "breaching peace", "homicide", "splitting China" and was sent to the hanging table, ending his sinful life!
The irony is that Sakagaki Seishiro left two sentences on his deathbed when he learned that he could not escape the trial of the law.
"I'm sorry Chinese friends and North Korean friends! As long as China and Japan turn asahi into jade, it is worth it for me to abandon this stinky bone! ”
"May the fortunes of China and North Korea be prosperous!"
Perhaps the bird is dying, and its song is also mourning; Man will die, and his words will be good. Whether he truly repents or not, he doesn't understand until he dies, not all faults can be healed by saying sorry!
He studied Sinology quite deeply, but he did not understand the principle of "doves occupying the magpie's nest".
Don't worry about things that don't belong to you, "Don't occupy anything that is not your own!" Non-self-interest, not to take! ”
Greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, and Japan on the island of guts is bent on forcibly occupying the land of other countries by force, and will eventually be condemned by the whole world!
@Be your own queen tombrow [rose] [rose] [rose] Now they are arrogant, adding fuel to the fire, do they still want to make a comeback and fantasize about repeating history?
Sakagaki Izumi has knowledge, but will he use the lesson of his own blood to warn his compatriots?
