As we all know, during World War II, Japan brought deep suffering to the Chinese nation. The fourteen-year history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is entirely a history of anti-aggression blood and tears forged by the Chinese nation with its life.
In this history of blood and tears, there is a Japanese name, which is tightly intertwined with the painful years of China and stained with the blood of Chinese, and this person is the number one war criminal of the Japanese army invading China - Okamura Ningji!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" >, a militant from a fallen samurai family</h1>
Born into a family of declining samurai in 1884, Okamura began learning simple Kanji at the age of 4, and when he graduated from elementary school, he was single-handedly admitted to the junior high school attached to Tokyo Shoboku Shoga (later renamed Waseda University), a prestigious Japanese school.
Because the school's tuition fees were relatively high at the time, in his second year of junior high school, he put on his Japanese military uniform and transferred to the Tokyo Army Kindergarten School, thus starting the first stop of his military career.
In 1904, Okamura had just graduated with honors in time for the Russo-Japanese War, and he was assigned to the supplementary force as a deputy captain, but he was not satisfied with his position as a war-loving man.
After repeated requests to fight, his superiors finally transferred him to the infantry unit as a squad leader and let him participate in the Russo-Japanese War. Since then, Okamura Ningji has officially embarked on the road of military service!
While serving in the military, Okamura was the best in the Japanese army. Because of his outstanding ability, he and two other Japanese soldiers, Nagata Tetsuyama and Toshishiro Obata, were called the Japanese "Miyu U" (meaning slightly the same as the Chinese "Sanjie").
Even Hideki Tojo, who later became Japan's wartime prime minister, was no more than a minion under the "Miwa U" at that time.
The seven people selected by "Miwa U", Hideki Tojo, and "Miwa U" among their talented colleagues were the core backbone of the Showa warlords when Japan launched World War II!
Okamura and his henchmen did not bring light as they called it, and their huge black wings swept across the land of East Asia during World War II, bringing great disaster to the people of East Asia!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="73" >2, sneaking into China to do espionage, wife and children are killed</h1>
In 1923, after a series of activities, Okamura Ningji was ordered by the Military Attaché of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters in Shanghai to China, and thus began a period of stirring up trouble in China.
The May Thirtieth Massacre in Shanghai and the Shaji Massacre in Guangzhou both have the shadow of Okamura Ninji behind them.
However, because Okamura made full use of the British imperialists to take the lead in these two incidents, he cleverly avoided the anger of the Chinese and caused the total japanese exports to China in 1925 to increase by 12% compared with the previous year!
In this way, Okamura Ningji stepped on the May Thirtieth Massacre and the Shaji Massacre, and the blood of the Chinese people stepped onto the road of ascension step by step.
Because of his "outstanding ability" in these two events, Okamura ningji was deeply appreciated by the Japanese high command and was appointed to preside over important military diplomatic work on behalf of Japan.
However, Okamura Ningji was not satisfied with such "achievements", but continued to extend his black hand to the Chinese civil war. In 1925, he sneaked into the army of the Beiyang warlord Sun Chuanfang and became Sun Chuanfang's "military adviser".
Okamura and Sun Chuanfang are old acquaintances, and During Sun Chuanfang's study in Japan, Okamura Ningji was his Japanese instructor. At that time, he and Sun Chuanfang did not fight or know each other, and soon became good friends.
In 1925, Sun Chuanfang was a little overwhelmed by the fierce offensive of the Southern Army, so he turned to his "old friend" Okamura Ningji, who was also invited to serve as his military adviser.
Although he came to Sun Chuanfang's side in the name of helping his good friend, Okamura Ningji was not sincere about this friendship, and his main purpose as a military adviser was to secretly manipulate the Chinese civil war and steal the military map in Sun Chuanfang's hands!
When Sun Chuanfang was defeated by the National Revolutionary Army of the Northern Expedition in 1927, Okamura Ningji, instead of helping Sun Chuanfang to turn the tide, took advantage of the chaos to steal the military map of China's Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and central China in Sun Chuanfang's hands!
The military map stolen by Okamura Ningji has important military value and is an important tool used in the later Japanese invasion of China, and Okamura Ningji also used this map to upgrade in the Japanese army.
In 1928, Okamura served as the commander of the Sixth Wing of the Third Infantry Division of the Japanese Army, and participated in the "Jinan Massacre" in Shandong, where a large number of Chinese soldiers and civilians were slaughtered by the Japanese invaders, and more than 10,000 Chinese people died under the bullets of the Japanese invading army!
In the five years from 1923 to 1928, before the Japanese invasion of China began, Okamura's hands were already stained with the blood of Chinese.
However, the retribution was not pleasant, and Okamura Ningji let a large number of Chinese citizens suffer misfortune repeatedly, and he himself received retribution.
While Okamura was working as a spy in China, his wife Rishi Nobu took their second son, Takeshi, with him to live in Shanghai. Okamura Ninji was very fond of Takeshō and thought he was a well-behaved and pleasing child.
However, Wu Zheng only lived in Shanghai for one year, and was accidentally infected with scarlet fever when he went out to play, the fever did not go away, the medicine stone did not heal, and finally died of illness, and he died at the age of 11.
The death of the younger son was a great blow to Norie, causing Noriebe to die soon after.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="74" > third, the thief's heart is not dead, and the invasion of China takes the lead</h1>
The misfortune of the family did not stop Okamura Ninji from doing evil, and on September 18, 1931, Okamura Ninji participated in and led the "Wicker Lake Incident" in Japan.
In 1932, Okamura sent Takayoshi Tanaka and Yoshiko Kawashima to provoke the "128" incident and brazenly sent troops to Shanghai.
In the autumn of 1932, Okamura was promoted again, this time by his superiors as deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, in charge of the Northeast Theater. After coming to the northeast, Okamura First bought bandits and recruited puppet troops to establish a "cannon fodder unit" for the Japanese army, and then participated in the concoction of the "Public Security Police Law" specifically aimed at the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the northeast; later he also organized the Kwantung Army to launch an unprecedented encirclement and suppression against the volunteer army.
Under the frenzied encirclement and suppression of the Japanese Kwantung Army led by Okamura Ninji, the vast majority of the anti-Japanese volunteers in the three northeastern provinces were crushed, and the blood of the anti-Japanese martyrs stained the vast black land of the three eastern provinces.
On July 7, 1937, Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China. In June 1938, Okamura became commander, and the army he commanded was the 11th Army of the Japanese army specially formed by Japan to invade China.
After receiving the appointment, Okamura Ningci launched the Battle of Wuhan against our country. When he captured Jiujiang, there was cholera "coincidentally" in Jiujiang, and in order to prevent the Japanese soldiers from being infected, he ordered all the people in the infectious disease area to be buried alive or burned, artificially creating a no-man's land!
In 1941, Okamura Ningji, who had been promoted to commander of the North China Front of the Japanese army invading China, mobilized tens of thousands of Japanese troops to carry out a brutal "sweep" of the Chinese army.
The infamous "Three Lights" policy was proposed by him at this time! The "three lights" policy of burning, killing, and robbing the light has brought deep disasters to the military and people of our country.
The 100,000 Japanese puppet army wandered like a demon in China's Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region, and the butcher knives in their hands reached not only to the anti-Japanese army, but also to the innocent people!
In a remote village in Hebei Province alone, 1,035 people were killed, of whom 658 were women and children, accounting for more than half of the murdered; and the massacre in Pingyang Village in Fuping County lasted even for 87 days!
This criminal action caused 150,000 houses in our country to be burned down, more than 58 million catties of grain, more than 10,000 livestock to be plundered, and thousands of anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians to be killed...
In 1945, after learning that the Japanese Emperor had decided to accept the Potsdam Proclamation, Okamura Ninji was still "undiminished" in this war of aggression against China, and he even sent a telegram to his superiors to ask for the rejection of the Potsdam Proclamation and wanted to continue to fight in China!
In Japan, however, the emperor's will was paramount, and Okamura eventually obeyed the edict, personally signing the surrender to China and handing over his sabre.
After Japan's surrender, Okamura was placed under house arrest in Nanjing by the Chinese government. This war criminal, who should have been slashed ten thousand times by the Chinese government ten thousand times, could not be indignant by the people, but under the protection of Chiang Kai-shek, he got rid of the punishment he deserved.
In order to oppose communism, Chiang Kai-shek enshrined this Japanese demon whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people as a guest of honor, turned him into a secret military adviser to the Kuomintang military authorities, and wrote a series of articles to help the Kuomintang fight.
Later, the military court examined Okamura Ningji, and Chiang Kai-shek suppressed all his sins, so that he was acquitted!
On January 28, 1949, after the military tribunal declared Okamura Ningji "innocent," the Xinhua News Agency issued an urgent statement calling for his re-arrest.
Although Acting President Li Zongren ordered the arrest of Okamura Ningji again in order to respect the opinions of the Xinhua News Agency in order to respect the peace talks, Tang Enbo, a senior General of the Kuomintang, withheld this order and sent his aide-de-camp to contact Okamura Ningji to help him escape back to Japan!
<h1 class ="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="75" > fourth, post-war expansion of right-wingers Old age bereavement of the eldest son</h1>
Ninji Okamura, who escaped justice and returned to Japan, survived unharmed until the age of 82.
Even so, he never repented of his evil deeds, and instead was invited to become the nominal vice president of the "Comrades-in-Arms Association" founded by a group of officers and men of the pre-war Japanese army.
With the strong support of this comrades-in-arms association, Okamura Ningji traveled to various parts of Japan to give lectures in order to expand the japanese right-wing power!
There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end"! Ninji Okamura's shallow fate with his family confirms this statement thoroughly.
Since the death of his wife and youngest son Takemasa, Okamura has only one son left, Tadamasa.
Because he has a grandmother who is very doting on him and a father who has been rising step by step, Tadashi has always been unenterprising, and he is very disliked by Okamura Ninji.
However, even if he didn't like Okamura Ningji anymore, he had to endure it, because he was old and needed his son's care.
Unfortunately, in April 1962, at the age of 49, Tadamasa died violently, and Okamura Lost His last son.
No matter how bad it was when Tadami was alive, he was the biological son of Okamura Ninji, the caretaker and spiritual comfort of the elderly Okamura Ninji.
The white-haired man sending the brunette dealt a huge blow to the 78-year-old Okamura Ningji, causing him to lie in bed for several years.
In 1963, Okamura accepted the invitation of the War History Office of the Japanese Defense Agency, and under the double torture of the loss of his son and the frequent lung disease, he sorted out his diary and wrote a personal memoir.
In order to promote the so-called "Japanese spirit" and "explain the historical facts" to the people of the world, he spent nearly three years writing the "Memoirs of Ninji Okamura".
In September 1966, Okamura, who had written his memoirs, died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 82.
Okamura Ninji spent most of his life climbing to the peak of the Japanese army by stepping on the blood of Chinese.
Although he escaped the punishment of the law after the end of the war of aggression against China, and did not feel the condemnation of his conscience, his young and young son, the old man lost his eldest son, he had no love in his life, and he was lonely and ended up with old age, which is enough to explain the fact that "good has good retribution, and evil has evil retribution".
The world has never known what happened after death, so who knows whether the death of the sinful Ninji Okamura is the end or the beginning of the punishment?
Now that the war of aggression against China has long ended, and Okamura Ningji has buried his bones in Japan, this humiliating history and the tens of millions of martyrs and compatriots of the Chinese nation who lost their lives as a result will always be remembered in the hearts of each of our Chinese.
There is an old Chinese saying that "many acts of injustice will kill themselves", even if the Japanese Yasukuni Shrine has not fallen, how misleading the history textbooks are, even if Japan never recognizes this history, it will not erase the heinous crimes it has committed in China!
