During the Anti-Japanese War, the women in the Japanese army were actually not female soldiers. What did they do?

First, let's talk about two Japanese women: Yoshiko Kawashima and Zuko Nanyun. They are all spies and people are very familiar with them. Many people think they are Japanese female officers, but they are not.

Kawashima Yoshiko, also known as Kawashima Dongzhen, named Chengzhi, Chinese name Jin Bihui, Japanese spy. The 14th daughter of the Qing Dynasty Su Prince Shanqi. In 1912, when the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Shanqi wanted to use the power of Japan to restore the country and sent his daughter Xianyu to Kawashima Naniwa as an adopted daughter. Xianyu changed her name to Yoshiko Kawashima and was sent to Japan to receive a militarist education. He returned to China as an adult and worked as a spy for Japan for a long time. Served as the "Commander-in-Chief of the Anguo Army" and "Commander-in-Chief of the North China People’s Self-Defense Army" of the puppet Manchukuo. He has participated in the Huanggutun Incident, the September 18th Incident, the Manchurian Independence Movement and other secret military operations, and personally directed shocking Chinese and foreign China’s disasters such as the Shanghai January 28th Incident and the transfer of Wanrong were called "Men's Spy" and "Oriental Girl Devil". On March 25, 1948, he was sentenced to death for traitorous crimes and executed in Peking First Prison. He was 41 years old.

Nanzo Yunzi, an agent who was directly under the Japanese base camp during the Japanese invasion of China, is known as Japan’s first female spy. Born in Shanghai in 1909, his father Nanzo Jiro is a veteran spy. Once arrested in the Huang Jun case, he later bought the jailer and escaped. He participated in the formation of No. 76 in Shanghai and was finally assassinated by the military commander. After the outbreak of the National War of Resistance in July 1937, the Kuomintang's highest military and political authority had a series of major leaks, which left the Kuomintang army in a very passive situation in combat. After intense investigations, the Kuomintang authorities uncovered a huge spy organization within it, and the manipulator behind this spy organization was a young Japanese woman and a mysterious female spy, Yunzi Nanzao.

Are these two female devils a Japanese officer? The answer is: No, because they do not have military ranks, and even the military uniforms they wear are not Japanese standard uniforms. Like them, many Japanese "female soldiers" are like this. They are in non-combat positions such as nursing, communications, and intelligence, and are not soldiers in the strict sense, let alone officers. The illusion that they are officers probably comes from our anti-Japanese drama today. In it, we can often see beautiful and beautiful Japanese female officers who kill people without blinking, but they are just written by the director’s director. It's just obscene.

This does not mean that there were no women in the Japanese army. For example, Yoshiko Kawashima and Zuko Nanyun were women. In addition to this type of woman, there are several types of women in the Japanese army, which can be simply listed: 1. Family members of the army; 2. Nursing staff; 3. Communication staff; 4. Comfort staff.

Today, the specific figures of category 1 and category 3 are unclear, but category 2 and category 3 are still well documented. From the September 18th Incident in 1931 to the surrender of Japan in August 1945, according to relevant statistics, the number of nurses in the Japanese army totaled 35,000, of which 2,000 were head nurses (commissioned officers) and 1,120 died in the war. . By the end of the Pacific War, with the successive defeats of the Japanese army, the number of wounded increased sharply. Usually, a nurse is responsible for caring for 700 or even nearly a thousand wounded and sick. As the war became more unfavorable for the Japanese army, many nurses were killed and some were captured. This was a major mainstream of Japanese female soldiers at that time.

As for communication personnel, at the end of 1942, Japan only began to recruit female communication team members. The team members were singles between 17 and 25 years old. The first batch of about 180 members began to work in 1943 after passing secret training. The main tasks were to be responsible for intelligence reception, air defense alarms, and telephone surveillance. By the time the Japanese army surrendered in August 1945, the total number of female communications team members reached 370. about. It can be said that the quantity is quite small and very rare.

However, what caused this situation? The answer is also very simple, that is: The traditional Japanese concept is to advocate women to be qualified wives and mothers. Before the outbreak of the war, almost no women took to the battlefield. As the war intensified,A large number of men were killed on the front line, and Japanese women eventually had to rush to the battlefield, but they were still organized in non-combat positions.

At this point, China is much earlier than Japan. On the battlefield of the Shang Dynasty, China had the famous female generals and women. Wang Wuding's wife), and later Hua Mulan and so on. As a political power, female soldiers were recruited in the form of decree. Our country had it in Xixia. Xixia female soldiers were the first female regular army in Chinese history. At that time, they were called "Ma Kui" or "Zhai Women". They could not only fight and kill the enemy, but also undertake logistical duties during the war. In Xixia’s “Tiansheng Law”, it is said: “Those who guard the big city should entrust sergeants, the main army, the auxiliary master, and the village women...” When the Song army broke the Xixia White Leopard City, “the four members of Zhang Tuan and Fan officials were captured, The Quebec Seven". This is nearly 1,000 years earlier than Japan.

We cannot say that women serving as soldiers can reflect their social status, but what is certain is that there were no female officers in the Japanese invaders at that time, even though it was not the case that female soldiers participated in the war during World War II. What's new, but at that time the idea of ​​male superiority to women in Japan was still quite serious. Not only did its military academies and military colleges not recruit female students, but its combat troops did not have female soldiers. For this, many people have been deceived by the anti-Japanese drama, and history has to be restored.
