Since Kenji Doihara never said a word, the lack of evidence became a factor in delaying the judgment, Kenji Doihara Knowing the essence of the Anglo-American legal system, he knew that this would delay the trial. As time went by, it would be difficult to predict the outcome.
The trial lasted for two years. Finally, at the strong request of the Chinese government, the court finally accepted the evidence provided by the Chinese government and sentenced Doihara Kenji to to death by hanging. After drawing lots, Doihara Kenji was the first. Standing on the gallows.
Kenji Doihara was born in an ordinary military family in 1883. He received training as a Japanese soldier from an early age. Since he did not have a prominent family background, he served in the army in obscurity after graduating from the Japanese Army University, relying on the military promotion system until He did not become a captain in the Japanese Army until he was 30 years old. This year, he got an opportunity and entered the "Banxi Mansion" in Beijing, and his immediate boss was Rihachiro Banishi.
Japan has three generations of spy chiefs:
The first generation spy chief Aoki Nobujun, who founded the Aoki Agency in Beijing, was once called the only trustworthy Japanese by Yuan Shikai; The second generation spy chief Rihachiro Banishi, Beiyang Government The regime changes frequently, and Rihachiro Banishi is always there behind it; the third generation spy leader is Kenji Doihara.

Doihara Kenji
From 1913 to 1927, Doihara Kenji went deep into various warlords in China, established contact with each warlord faction, and obtained a large amount of intelligence. In the end, Doihara Kenji chose Zhang Zuolin as a partner, fully supported Zhang Zuolin, and served as Zhang Zuolin's military adviser to help train the army. At the same time, he devoted himself to digging out Zhili intelligence, and doing his best to destroy Zhili forces and use economic terrorism. Creating chaos in the area under direct rule made great contributions to Zhang Zuolin's defeat of Wu Peifu .
Just when Zhang Zuolin led his troops into the customs to fight the Zhili army, Fengcheng general Guo Songling rebelled. In order to ensure that Zhang Zuolin's troops were fully engaged in the fierce battle with the Zhili army and would not be distracted, Doihara Kenji directly persuaded the Japanese military headquarters , transferred the Japanese troops stationed in Korea to China, defeated Guo Songling, and once again helped Zhang Zuolin.
After Zhang Zuolin achieved the results he expected, Doihara Kenji hoped that Zhang Zuolin could accept Japan's command. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin only accepted Japan's help, but did not intend to listen to the Japanese..
Doihara Kenji's hard and soft tactics had no effect on Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin was still blindly asking for help from the Japanese and refused to make any return. This approach made Doihara Kenji angry. When he repeatedly confirmed that Zhang Zuolin did not After agreeing to Japan's request, he became murderous.
During the Northern Expedition , Doihara Kenji repeatedly persuaded Zhang Zuolin to retreat outside the customs and seek independence. Zhang Zuolin flatly rejected this traitorous behavior. Zhang Zuolin could be defeated, but he would never do anything that would destroy the country. On June 4, 1928, Doihara Kenji tore off his hypocritical mask, and after careful arrangements, he blew up Zhang Zuolin in Huanggu Village.
Zhang Zuolin
An explosion in Huanggutun did not bring the results that Kenji Doihara hoped for. Zhang Xueliang had a great hatred and inherited the throne. He announced the " Northeast Rebellion " and led the Northeastern Army to surrender to Chiang Kai-shek .
The Japanese government was very angry at Kenji Doihara's reckless actions. They believed that the assassination directly made the Japanese government's efforts in Northeast China in vain. They attributed the responsibility to Kenji Doihara and demoted him to the regiment. Doihara Kenji has been silent for several years, but the Japanese military has paid attention to him. What the Japanese military needs is a bloody member like him.
Doihara Kenji
In the "September 18th Incident" in 1931, Japan gained Northeast China so easily. Zhang Xueliang's weakness and incompetence surprised the Japanese government, and they did not even have time to make a plan for governance. Kenji Doihara subsequently became the mayor of Fengtian City (Shenyang). He immediately made a suggestion to the Japanese government to establish a "Manchu-Mongolian Republic of Five Nationalities" in the Northeast. After receiving the consent of the Japanese government, Kenji Doihara once again Standing at the front desk.
Doihara Kenji chose Puyi as the head of this "Manchu-Mongolian Republic of Five Nationalities". Just when Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City, Puyi sought asylum in European and American countries, but those countries avoided Puyi. Only General Kenji Doihara accepted Puyi and arranged for him to live in the Japanese Embassy in Tianjin. This is exactly what this The spy chief's insidious and cunning plan had already laid the groundwork for his subsequent actions.
Puyi
Doihara Kenji's temptation and coercion coupled with Puyi's fantasy caused Doihara Kenji to send a secret agent to bring Puyi to the Northeast and serve as the leader of the puppet Manchukuo. Puyi once recorded in his memoirs: "The only feeling given by his (Doihara Kenji's) smile is that none of what this person says is unreliable." Until Puyi arrived in the northeast, When he took office, he felt the chill from beginning to end, but it was too late.
Doihara Kenji planned to split China. In the end, he actually intimidated Yan Xishan, Han Fuju, Song Zheyuan to create a " North China Five Provinces Autonomous ", and established the " Jidong" with the traitor Yin Rugen as the chairman. Anti-Communist Autonomous Government ", followed by Northeast China and North China.
Under his hypocritical face that always showed a smile and respect, Japan gradually devoured Chinese territory and committed all kinds of evil acts, but at that time it gained the trust of warlords everywhere. Is he disguising well, or are the warlords too selfish?
The " July 7th Incident" broke out, and Kenji Doihara put away that hypocritical mask. He no longer needed this mask to cover up Japan's ambitions. In August 1937, Kenji Doihara led the 14th Japanese Army Corps to land from Tanggu. Along the Ping-Han Railway, they defeated the Chinese Army in consecutive battles and went all the way down to the bank of the Yellow River.
Huayuankou embankment bursts
Chiang Kai-shek quickly arranged Xue Yue to mobilize elite troops to intercept and suppress, but the encirclement and suppression did not succeed, so the Kuomintang army ordered the Huayuankou embankment to be blown up to release the flood to prevent the Japanese army from attacking. This is what shocked the world. The "Huayuankou embankment burst" incident directly caused the displacement of more than 10 million people, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, and the tragedy was overwhelming.
Wu Peifu refused to surrender to Japan and was determined not to be a traitor, but he died in a strange way. The toothache was unbearable. He died suddenly after being treated by a Japanese dentist. Although the Japanese did not admit that Wu Peifu was assassinated, various rumors spread The information pointed to the behind-the-scenes command of Kenji Doihara.

In Doihara Kenji's "credit book", the biggest one is the investment of and Wang Jingwei . Wang Jingwei announced his surrender to Japan and established the extremely evil Wang Puppet Government. It was under the planning and careful arrangement of Doihara Kenji. On this point, no matter how much sophistry, Doihara Kenji could not escape. After
instigated Wang Jingwei's rebellion, Doihara Kenji, who had "made great contributions", disappeared from the world. He returned to Japan and lived in seclusion, but he was still an active member in the Japanese military.When he jumped to the forefront again, he was appointed commander-in-chief of Japan's First Army. This was due to the suicide of the original commander Sugiyama Gen. Why, because Japan announced its surrender and Sugiyama Gen committed suicide in the command room.
Kenji Doihara was arrested on the order of MacArthur the day after he took over as commander-in-chief. After that, there was the account at the beginning of this article. The silence in the court was of no use. The Chinese government repeatedly presented evidence and finally prosecuted Kenji Doihara. The punishment was hanging. The punishment took a long time. In the hearts of the Chinese people, he should have been cut into pieces long ago.
Arrest of Kenji Doihara
Kenji Doihara planned countless assassinations and terrorist incidents in China. How many Chinese soldiers and civilians died under his black hands, and how many lands were humiliated and destroyed. He once ordered not to rob and kill Chinese people indiscriminately, and opposed the rape of women. All these were just disguises for Japan to further conquer China. As long as he has anything to do with it, it will definitely be a river of blood and sorrow.
After Kenji Doihara was arrested, the Allied forces searched his home. No jewelry, cultural relics or money was found in the small house that Kenji Doihara rented. The dilapidated house looked so deserted that no one dared to I believe this is the residence of a Japanese general. To the Japanese, he may be respectable, but after all, he got on the wrong ship. He could not decide the direction, and he got deeper and deeper with the wrong navigation and was unable to extricate himself.
