In the long river of history, there are some stories that are jaw-dropping and awe-inspiring. One of the true and chilling stories is the thrilling journey between a Soviet nurse and a Japanese prisoner. 700,000 Japanese soldiers were trapped in Soviet captivity, but only 30,000 survived. This is a story full of cruelty and miracles, a heart-wrenching and shocking truth.
During World War II, Soviet female nurses were sent to Japanese prisoner-of-war camps to care for those captured on the battlefield. However, they soon discover that the task is not an ordinary nursing job, but an incredible nightmare. Japanese prisoners were imprisoned and forced to endure extreme starvation, disease, and brutal torture, while Soviet nurses witnessed it all in real life.
These brave women had to deal not only with the brutality of Japanese officers and soldiers, but also with indifference and suspicion within the Soviet Union. They experienced the harsh environment of war and witnessed the fear and anguish of countless Japanese soldiers facing death. However, they stayed true to their original intentions, unwavering in their treatment of every prisoner of war, bringing care and care to the beleaguered enemy.
Soviet retaliation against the Japanese Kwantung Army: 700,000 prisoners were sent to Siberia to dig mining caves, with a high death rate
By the time the Soviet Army launched a fierce offensive against the Japanese Kwantung Army in 1945, the Japanese had realized that they faced an irresistible defeat. However, they are reluctant to accept defeat, and even want to give more people suffering through cruel means to satisfy their ugly ambitions.
Especially in the northeast of China, the Japanese are even more rampant. But they soon encountered counterattack from another superpower, the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union, a country known for its combat effectiveness, has a deep reputation in the hearts of the people. The Kwantung Army in front of the Soviet army was insignificant.
The USSR fought a decisive battle with Japan, as a result of which the Japanese Kwantung Army was defeated by Soviet troops and surrendered. The victory left the Soviets extremely angry and satisfied with victory, while their retaliation against the Japanese Kwantung Army showed a brutal side.
The Soviets decided to take about 700,000 Japanese Kwantung Army soldiers as prisoners and send them to the mines of Siberia for coolie labor. It was an extremely harsh punishment designed to inflict the same pain and suffering on the Japanese in response to the suffering they inflicted on the Soviet Union and other countries during the war.
However, Siberia is a place with a harsh climate. As soon as they arrived, many captives died due to the hypothermia. In the course of the hard work, more captives died due to excessive labor.
These Japanese Kwantung Army soldiers were forced to work in harsh winter and harsh working conditions, and they did not have enough clothing to keep warm and not enough food to survive. They are physically exhausted and suffering from illness and abuse. Due to the lack of medical facilities and care, many captives died helplessly in extremely harsh conditions.
The Soviet government did not pay much attention to the life and death of these captives. They saw them as prisoners of war, pushing them to the limit in retaliation for the crimes committed by the Japanese army against the USSR and other countries. In the process, the death rate remained high, and thousands of captives lost their lives in the misery of Siberia.
The Vengeful Hand of Soviet Nurses: The Nightmare and Endless Suffering of Japanese Captives
In this harsh environment, the prisoners lived in extremely harsh conditions. They were forced to work long hours, and extreme fatigue and hunger caused their health to deteriorate. Since the Soviet authorities considered these prisoners to be enemies, they were provided with only basic food and medicine, and did not provide them with proper medical attention. This has led to many deaths from disease and infirmity.
However, the suffering of these Japanese captives was much more than that. Soviet nurses began to take revenge on these captives, torturing and punishing the captured enemies by various means. For those wounded who need treatment, they deliberately do not administer anesthetics, leaving them in unbearable pain. When giving them medication, they choose those that have side effects, making them more miserable. The nurses also deliberately controlled them with drugs in retaliation for the Japanese Unit 731's drug experiments on captives.
In this harsh environment, Japanese captives were full of fear of Soviet female nurses. They couldn't predict what would happen next time, but they knew they would suffer endless pain and suffering once they became a target for Soviet female nurses. These Soviet female nurses showed their courage and strength in this way, and their vengeful hand became a nightmare for Japanese captives.
This revenge was not only a revenge for the Japanese Kwantung Army, but also a condemnation of Japan's war crimes. Soviet nurses treated Japanese prisoners mercilessly, turning their hatred and anger into ruthless actions that gave these war criminals painful rewards.
At the hands of Soviet female nurses, Japanese captives underwent unbearable physical and mental torture. They physically mutilated the captives, cut their flesh with blunt knives, and made them tortured. Even more frightening, they used drugs to control the bodies and minds of their captives, plunging them into inextricable pain. These nurses were well aware of the crimes committed by the Japanese Kwantung Army in Unit 731, so they treated these criminals mercilessly and gave them a taste of the suffering they inflicted.
This means and method of revenge is indeed cruel, causing widespread controversy and moral questioning. Some believe that such treatment is contrary to humanitarian principles and that prisoners should be treated in accordance with international conventions and fundamental human rights, regardless of what happens in war. However, the Soviet nurses were convinced that the crimes committed by the Japanese Kwantung Army went far beyond these regulations, and they believed that this revenge was deserved.
The Soviets were indifferent, and the Japanese prisoners struggled to survive: only 30,000 survivors returned
Despite Japan's best efforts to mediate on the international stage, the Soviet Union was unwavering in the fate of Japanese prisoners. In the harsh conditions of Siberia, the number of these 700,000 people is rapidly declining. Japan's hope can only be pinned on the return of sick soldiers.
However, Soviet female nurses became the key figure in deciding whether to get sick or not. They were uncompromising and willing to release only a very small number of captives. After a long period of torture, only 30,000 people were able to return to the country.
These Japanese captives experienced endless pain and suffering in Siberia. While people may be sympathetic to their plight, the suffering of this group of war criminals is difficult to sympathize with. They used to wantonly hurt and abuse innocent people on the battlefield, and now they have finally tasted the consequences of their own evil.
This story teaches us that the sins of war are not easily forgiven and forgotten. Both actions in the war and disposal after the war will have far-reaching consequences. The Japanese captives paid a heavy price at the vengeful hands of Soviet nurses, which was also a warning and condemnation of war crimes.
Despite the limited number of survivors, these survivors will forever be marked by the consequences of war. They will return to Japan physically and mentally traumatized and must face their past crimes and the responsibilities that come with them. It was a cruel and painful end that reminded people how costly war can be.
epilogue
In this unjust war, Japan was the initiator and committed all kinds of unconscionable crimes. However, in the end, they could not resist the power of the right time and place, and could only face the end of failure.
We are not obliged to sympathize with those Japanese prisoners, because we know how much they have done to us. Now they themselves are suffering, and this is the result of their sins.
We are not Our Lady, and we cannot have mercy for them. The pain they have experienced can be seen as a reward for justice. This ending reminds us that evil will eventually lead to evil, no matter how deep the hatred of the past.
War only brings destruction, suffering and an endless cycle of hatred. Let us cherish peace and strive to build a more just and harmonious world, so that such tragedies will never be repeated.
Japan's defeat is a witness to history and a victory for justice and peace. Let us remember that history, remember the suffering of those innocent lives in war, and for the sake of our future we must always pursue peace and harmony.
