During World War II, the United States and Japan had a deep grudge on the Pacific battlefield, and the enemies were extremely red-eyed when they met, and they were eager to beat each other to death. However, in the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1944, a very special scene was staged: in the face of the Japanese army, which had been heavily besieged, the American army not only did not exterminate them, but painstakingly persuaded them to surrender quickly, and the words were deep and moving.
So, why did this Japanese army have such a big face that the Americans actually "begged" them to surrender?
Quite simply, because the commander of this Japanese force was NishitakeIchi.
So why are Americans so kind to this Nishitake? Because Nishitake is not only a Japanese officer, he is also the first athlete in Japanese history to win an equestrian gold medal at the Olympic Games, and the Olympic Games that Nishitake won the Olympic Games were the 10th Olympic Games held in Los Angeles in 1932.
With his outstanding performance, Xizhu was a hit all over the streets of the United States, and even in the American army surrounding him on the opposite side, there were many people who were his fans, so when they heard that the besieged Japanese commander was Nishitake, they once abandoned the grudge of war, took the initiative to surrender, and shouted: "The world will regret the loss of the best equestrian baron!" ”
Unfortunately, Nishitake, who was born in the military, was too deeply influenced by militaristic ideas and turned a deaf ear to such persuasion. In order to strengthen the morale of the army, Nishitakeichi decisively chose to kill himself after being injured, as a way to boost morale.
After the war, only a few simple relics were found on him, including riding boots, a horse whip, and the mane of his beloved horse. It can be seen that Nishitake's feelings for horses in his bones have never diminished, and if there is no war, he must still be a genius on the equestrian field.
In fact, as early as when he first entered the military academy, Nishitakeichi was fascinated by horse training, and his understanding and ability to tame horses were extraordinary, taking the horse "Uranus" who won the los Angeles Olympic Games with Nishitakeichi, there was a legendary past between the pair.
Back in 1930, Nishitake Ichi, who was actively preparing for the Olympic Games, received a letter from a friend, who originally had a good horse in his hand, but his helplessness was too explosive to tame, so he simply wanted to sell it to Nishitake Ichi. Nishitakeichi, who happened to be missing a good Malay partner, rushed to his friend's house, and as a result, the pair staged a magical scene when they first met: the originally violent horse suddenly became docile, and even took the initiative to show goodwill!
Xi Zhuyi naturally did not hesitate and immediately spent a lot of money to buy this horse. Because this horse has a star-like spot on its head, it is called "Uranus". Since then, the cooperation between one person and one horse can be said to be seamless, not only sweeping the major equestrian competitions in Europe, but also winning the championship in one fell swoop at the 1932 Olympic Games, and it was at this time that the name of Nishitake 'genius equestrian" spread.
In August 1944, when Nishitake was sent to fight on Iwo Jima, Uranus reached the age of old age and was sent to raise at the Horse Affair Court on the outskirts of Tokyo, where the former duo met for the last time. Perhaps already feeling the hardships of this Iwo Jima battle, Nishitake Ichi stayed with his old partner for a long time this time, and the relic mane found on Nishitake Kazuchi later was cut off as a souvenir when they met this time.
It is worth mentioning that just a week after XiZhuyi committed suicide by drinking a bullet on the battlefield of Iwo Jima, "Uranus" also died suddenly. It's hard to say if the old duo really has a heart, but in the darkness, the echo between Nishitakeichi and the horse is real.
Belonging to Nishitake Ichi, it should have been an equestrian field rather than a battlefield, but unfortunately, under the torrent of war, no one could survive, and this genius on the equestrian field eventually became a victim of Japanese militarism's foreign aggression.
