In fact, Japan has always had the ambition to invade China, and this ambition has been generated since the Tang Dynasty. In these major contests, China has only lost once, and the remaining few have ended with China winning.
However, these wars were far less large than the anti-Japanese wars, and at the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the strength of the Japanese army far exceeded ours. At that time, almost everyone thought that we were bound to lose, and Japan's supreme leader had made up his mind to destroy our country.
This great battle was fought very fiercely, and the Japanese army also paid a huge price for it, and the losses of our army were also very heavy. However, the sons and daughters of China do not lack perseverance, which is a war about our country, and under our strong defense, Japan has not won victory. In the end, it also offended many powerful countries and was forced to declare surrender. In some anti-Japanese film and television dramas, there has been a bridge section of "the emperor broadcasts the surrender", and in the face of such a notice, the Chinese people cheered. But at the same time, the hearts of the Japanese residents fell to the bottom, and most of them accepted the results of defeat and chose to surrender.
But there were also Japanese Japanese soldiers who did not want to see such an outcome, and they chose to end their lives, because they knew that their sins were so deep that they would be imprisoned and would inevitably be bitter, and the crimes they committed were very evil and could not be easily atonened. But after the end of the war, our leaders sent many of japan's prisoners back to Japan, which shows that we have been merciful enough to deal with the evil deeds they have committed. However, there are some Japanese whose crimes we can never forget, such as Okamura Ninji, who is a typical representative.
This person was born in a middle-class and lower-class family in Tokyo, Japan, and although he has a special status, his family conditions are not good. A pregnant woman in Japan could not let others see her belly, so his mother had to tie her stomach up, which led to him becoming a premature baby.
Okamura has been frail since childhood, but this thin child has strong willpower and a very smart brain. Because his father was a samurai, he taught him a lot of tough ideas from an early age, which had a great influence on him, which led him to become a more fanatical samurai, and when he grew up, he participated in the invasion of China.
In that war, he had witnessed the brutality of the battle, but to his astonishment, Japan had narrowly defeated the mighty Russia. It was precisely because of the victory in that war that he firmly believed that Japan's strength was very strong, and it was a big gamble to win the war.
The thoughts he had produced were very dangerous, but for this man, what he saw and heard deepened them. So when he was at war with China, although he knew that it was a big country with a population of hundreds of millions, he still believed that this country could be conquered by hundreds of thousands of people in his own country.
So he had an even stronger desire to rule China. He believed that fighting with China was another gamble on national fortunes, so he firmly led the army to invade China's territory. As the Supreme Commander-in-Chief at the time, he led the soldiers below to invade and occupy Chinese land at will. His mind was vicious and evil, so he committed all kinds of crimes. In his heart, this was no longer a war, but a game of killing. After Japan unconditionally announced its surrender that year, more than 2 million Japanese were sent to Japan.
They have not been insulted or punished in any way, and our country has reimbursed them for the cost of travelling home. However, when Okamura was acquitted, the move drew national indignation. At that time, many patriots threatened to kill him with their own hands, which showed that everyone's hatred for him was painful. However, in the end, he returned to Japan under the protection of our country, and when the elder Okamura Ningji returned to Japan, he was not punished by the law, but was regarded as a national hero, which is ironic!
However, this Japanese man was also punished as he deserved, and soon after returning to China, he lost his son bitterly, and at the time of the war of aggression against China, his other son had already died in battle, so his old age was not good!
