Okamura Neiji served as the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army during the war of aggression against China. He also mobilized tens of thousands of Japanese troops and carried out a brutal "cleanup" against the Chinese army. It can be said that Okamura Neji is an avid militarist element, and the reason for this is also closely related to his childhood education and the domestic environment of Japan at that time.

However, although the family has fallen, the members of the family still practice the Bushido spirit .

In 1898, 14-year-old Okamura Neji entered the then Tokyo Army Junior School and embarked on his military career. At that time, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national strength greatly increased, and the nation implemented military reforms, militarism, and the spirit of Bushido. Such a policy led to a sharp increase in the military budget of the Japanese government at that time, and even accounted for 30% to 45% of government expenditures. It also made Japan a powerful country in Asia and began its outward expansion.
In 1904, the Russo-Japanese War broke out, and it was this year that Okamura Neji graduated from the military academy. After learning of the outbreak of the war, Okamura Neji, who had just graduated, immediately applied to go to the front line and participate in the battle to make contributions to the emperor and the country.

The victory of the Russo-Japanese War not only made Japan truly among the world’s powers, but also made the Japanese people believe that Japan has become stronger and no longer afraid of any country, it’s started Own path of invasion. And Okamura Neji, who had personally experienced the Russo-Japanese War, also felt the benefits that the victory of the war brought to the country and himself, and showed fanatical support for the militarist policy adopted by Japan.
After the First World War, Okamura Neji as an intelligence worker infiltrated China to conduct intelligence acquisition and research on China, and to prepare for future combat plans.

After the September 18th Incident, Neiji Okamura was sent to Northeast China as the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army. During this period, under his control, the Japanese army launched a brutal sweep against the anti-Japanese rebels in the northeast. Many anti-Japanese fighters,Sacrificed in battle. It was precisely by virtue of military operations in the Northeast that Okamura Neji was reused by the Japanese authorities and became the core figure of the Japanese military base camp.
After the outbreak of the all-out war of aggression against China, Okamura Neji led his subordinate army to slaughter the Chinese army and people in China for the so-called "Greater Japanese Empire". In the end, with his "heralded military exploits" in China, Neji Okamura became the commander-in-chief of the Chinese dispatched army in Japan.
In fact, although the Japanese army occupied a large area of our country at this time, due to the long front line, the Japanese army had already fallen into the ocean of the people. The Japanese army was not in the war, and the Chinese army was approaching. . The defeat in the Pacific battle also caused the Japanese army to start chaos. So Okamura Neji received the order to deploy the main force in China in coastal areas to prevent the Allied forces from landing and attacking the Japanese.
Finally, thanks to the joint efforts of the world's anti-fascist allies, Germany announced its surrender on May 9, 1945, and Italy had already surrendered two years ago. The only remaining Axis powers were Japan. Under such circumstances, the Japanese army still wanted to win the war. After the Allied forces announced the " Potsdam Proclamation ", the Japanese army continued to fight. So countries have launched actions against the Japanese army one after another.

On August 6, 1945, the U.S. Army dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima . Then the Soviet army entered the northeastern region of my country and started a war against the Kwantung Army. The Chinese army also began A full-scale counterattack. Three days later, the second atomic bomb exploded in Nagasaki, Japan. Faced with such a situation, the emperor of Japan realized that the situation was over and decided to surrender.
On August 12th, three days before the official surrender was announced, the Japanese emperor Miden Okamura Neji expressed his attitude of surrender. However, when Okamura Neji received the secret message, he could not believe it. He did not believe that Japan would fail in this way and surrender in such a "humiliating" manner. At that time, Neji Okamura was holding 800,000 troops in his hands. In his opinion,The Japanese army still has the power to fight, just like defeating the mighty Russia.
And even if it fails, he has already made up his mind to "break the jade". Therefore, Okamura Neji had just refused to surrender, and immediately sent electricity to the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff, requesting to reject the "Potsdam Proclamation" proposed by the Allied Forces.
However, Japan's defeat has become a reality. Even if the morale of domestic officers and soldiers to launch a decisive battle on the mainland is high, in order to reduce the casualties of the people and fearless sacrifice, finally on August 15, 1945, Japan Emperor announced its unconditional surrender. Before that, Ningji Okamura also received a telegram from Tokyo announcing his surrender. On September 9, Okamura Neji signed the letter of surrender to China and formally surrendered.

The reason why he still chose to fight after receiving the surrendered secret message is not because Gangcun Ningci has heavy soldiers in his hands. Perhaps he knew that the more than 4 million Japanese soldiers would not be able to escape the fate of defeat in the end. How could the 800,000 Japanese soldiers in his hand stop the Allied attack? However, at this time, Okamura Neji had lost his mind in the war. He could not accept the fact that he was defeated. Since he was a child of Bushido, he could not bear the humiliation of defeat. Instead, he wanted to "smash" with the Allies. But after the surrender became a fact, he still followed the order and accepted the surrender.
However, what makes people feel helpless and angry is that such a mad sun warrior, such a war criminal who despised life, was found "not guilty" on January 26, 1949. Finally returned to Japan, and finally died of a heart attack in September 1966 at the age of 82.
