On the afternoon of January 26, 1949, the trial of the primary criminal of the war of aggression against China organized by the Kuomintang officially began...
This was a secret trial and no attendance was allowed, but the patriotic reporters all looked forward to hearing the result of Okamura's death sentence, and venting anger for thousands of compatriots who died tragically. However, what no one expected was that the judge slowly said that Okamura's crime was not guilty and was released in court!
Angry reporters rushed forward, wanting an explanation, but under the cover of the Kuomintang officers, Okamura Yanji still fled. The news soon reached Chairman Mao's ears, "Anyway, you must arrest Okamura Yanji back"! Chairman Mao slapped the table and yelled, "What serious crime did Okamura Yasuji commit in China?" Why did the Kuomintang acquit? What conspiracy is behind this?
Okamura Yasuji is a Chinese master. He can not only skillfully discuss , the Four Books and Five Classics with the Chinese, but also writes good calligraphy. Who would have thought that such a gentle and gentle Confucian scholar would have an ugly face. In 1924, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang War broke out, and Okamura Yasuji became the director of the war. His purpose was very simple, that is, to use human blood to satisfy his own interests.
Time came in 1931, and the 918th Incident that shocked the world happened. Okamura Yasuji came to China again and served as the chief of staff of the Kanto Army . He was forced to accept the agreement and try to turn China into their puppet Manchukuo. Until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Okamura Yasuji completely let himself go, and simply pretended not to pretend, completely extended his claws to the innocent people, burning, robbing, and killing. In 1941, Okamura Yasuji became the commander of the first army in North China , specifically used to deal with the Eighth Route Army.
In order to make military achievements, he spent a lot of effort to study the Eighth Route Army. He also formulated two plans for this. The first is to let the Chinese people change their image of the Japanese army's strength. In the past, he could see the Japanese army bullying the people at will and shot them if they were not satisfied. This must be changed. Okamura Yasuji also set a goal, which was to win over 100 million people in North China.
This is obviously unlikely. Although the people in China were living in poverty at that time, the people had backbone and did not fight for steamed buns and rush to breathe. The Japanese army's bloody hatred for killing their compatriots was how could it be written off with just a few good words? Immediately afterwards, Okamura Yasuji decided to adopt the iron wall encirclement method to line up all the troops into a long line, causing the Eighth Route Army to suffer a major blow. In this way, he did achieve temporary success.
was in the war step by step, but the Eighth Route Army also caused him a lot of hardships. In this way, the hatred between the Eighth Route Army and Okamura Yasuji became deeper and deeper. Under various constraints, Chiang Kai-shek surfaced and had always been opposite to the Communist Party. Now that with Gangmura Yasuji, Chiang Kai-shek's wolf ambitions gradually exposed, he colluded with him. However, he overestimated the Kuomintang and could not stand up to the wall.
1945 On August 15, 1945, Okamura Yasuji received a message: Japanese Emperor announced his unconditional surrender. At this moment, he felt unprecedented despair. The Japanese Empire, which once threatened to laugh to the last moment, surrendered like this. Although he was unwilling to give up, he had to abide by the order.
At the surrender ceremony, Okamura Yasuji, as a representative of Japan, signed the surrender letter and handed over his sword. He lowered his head throughout the process and did not dare to look up at the representative of China. At that time, the Kuomintang government was very anxious and the army was still in the southwest. Japan surrendered to . Wouldn’t all soldiers and guns have to be handed over to the Communist Party?
For this reason, when the Emperor announced his surrender, Chiang Kai-shek made a quick decision to publish a grand statement. He claimed that China would not retaliate against him in the way Japan treated him, but would instead let the Japanese go home, and even allow the Japanese army to take away a certain amount of personal finances. After learning this news, the Japanese were very happy. Of course, Chiang Kai-shek did this, but also his selfish intentions.
He just wanted the Japanese army to surrender to the Kuomintang, not to surrender to the Communist Party. In this way, Chiang Kai-shek obtained a large number of Japanese supplies, weapons and equipment, and then defeated the Eighth Route Army through Okamura Nagaji. Chiang Kai-shek knew his ability. He was good at fighting guerrilla warfare with the Eighth Route Army. Even General Peng Dehuai was quite afraid of Okamura Nagaji.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to use Okamura Yasuji, and Okamura Yasuji also knew about this. After so many years of intrigue in the officialdom, Chiang Kai-shek's little thoughts were clear. Since there was a way out, Okamura Yasuji was not stupid. He hugged Chiang Kai-shek's thighs without stopping. The two colluded and hit it off, and since then they embarked on the road of no return.
The name Okamura Yasuji is notorious in China. Chiang Kai-shek wanted to wait for things to pass slowly, and there was no need to give an explanation to the Chinese people. However, the Chinese people and all countries that were destroyed by Okamura Yasuji were waiting for an explanation. It would be unreasonable if they did not deal with it.
Since the day Japan announced its defeat, many Japanese generals committed suicide by separatism in order not to be insulted. Our country also tried many extremely evil war criminals from 1946 to 1948, but the trial of Okamura Yasuji has never been put on the agenda. Chiang Kai-shek even gave him excellent treatment. When he was beaten by the Communist Party, he did not forget to take Okamura Yasuji away, waiting to one day he could make a comeback with him and fight against the Communist Party together.
Kokamura Yasuji's numerous crimes committed in China and sentenced him to hanging is not an exaggeration. His trial cannot be avoided. Under the pressure of public opinion and internationally, Chiang Kai-shek had to conduct a public trial of him in Shanghai in January 1949. After receiving the news, Chinese and foreign journalists rushed to the scene overnight, looking forward to the desired result.
But no one expected that the presiding judge would declare Okamura Natsuji acquitted in public. The reason was that Okamura Natsuji, as the Supreme Commander, did not personally invade China with swords, guns and cannons, so he did not have to bear the punishment. Such a reason is too far-fetched. The army cannot be without leaders. The reason why Japanese soldiers invaded China was because they were ordered by Okamura Natsuji. As the supreme leader, he did not have any guilt, and it was a joke to say it.
This made the reporters present unacceptable. They rushed to ask the presiding judge to give an explanation, but they were all stopped by the Kuomintang guards. The Chinese people were in high spirits. Chairman Mao, who was far away from Xibaipo , heard about such a thing, did not sleep all night and issued an order overnight: arrest Okamura Yasuji immediately, and no mistakes must be made!
On January 30, 1949, under the arrangement of Chiang Kai-shek, Gangmeng Jining boarded a ship from Shanghai to Japan. There were 259 Japanese war criminals on the ship, all of which escaped punishment. Due to continuous defeats in the war, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to step down due to strong internal power struggles. Li Zongren took the position of president, but the lean camel was bigger than a horse, and Chiang Kai-shek was still the actual person in power.
Li Zongren knew that he was just a puppet and he was unwilling to fight with the Communist Party, so he ordered his subordinates to hand over Okamura Neji. Unexpectedly, his loyal subordinates helped Okamura Neji escape. After Chairman Mao learned about it, he struck while the iron was hot and continued to put pressure on Li Zongren. Under pressure, Li Zongren considered re-arresisting Okamura Neji with US General MacArthur. Unexpectedly, MacArthur refused decisively and even turned to help Okamura Neji return to Japan.
After the ship arrived in Japan, there were very few people coming to greet him, only a few close relatives and friends. Kazumura Neji completely lost his arrogance at that time because Japan was already under the control of the United States. That year, Okamura Neji was already 65 years old, and he did not have the ability to join the battle again. Even if he had the will, he was powerless because Japan was no match for the United States at all.
Since Kamura Yanji reported information about the Chinese military to the US military, the United States did not treat him anything, but was more strict in the supervision and was no different from being in prison. A year and a half later, the United States and Japan turned war into pleasing silk, the United States released many Japanese war criminals, and Okamura Yanji was also allowed to go out at will.
However, when he returned to his wife's hometown, he received the news that his only son had died suddenly. After his son relied on his father's identity, he had been mediocre and died without warning, he was very sad.
This incident had a great blow to Okamura Yasuji. He was already a 78-year-old man. He had been fighting for his whole life. In his later years, he wanted to see his wife and sons all around him. He never thought that a white-haired man would give him a black-haired man. Everything had a cause and a result. This may be his retribution. In 1966, Okamura Yasuji died. His life was extremely sinful, but he did not receive the punishment he deserved. It is really a regret for anti-warmen all over the world.
Chiang Kai-shek can write off the crime committed by Gangcun Tining in one fell swoop, but the Chinese people disagree, and he cannot represent the whole Chinese people. This is a question about national interests. Chiang Kai-shek risked the world's worst and did things that were ashamed of the people, and was naturally despised by the masses. Chairman Mao won the will of the people and won the support and support of the people. This is also why Chairman Mao ordered the arrest of Okamura Yasuji late at night. What do you think?
