In this ground battle, which lasted less than an hour and only a few dozen people were captured, the one who tried to maintain the dignity of a large Zuo of the Imperial Army at the last moment, holding his own saber and carrying the last remaining officers, met the oncoming tactical team of the Anti-Japanese Union. But after being concussed by a rifle butt, he became one of more than twenty people who were captured.

If it weren't for the rank of Dazuo on his collar badge, it would be too conspicuous in the morning sun. I am afraid that the local residents who were stabbed to death with bayonets outside the village, and the bodies of a dozen or so anti-United Nations personnel who had been captured in the previous tug-of-war, had already beaten him and his men into a hornet's nest.

However, this Ben Fanjiu Dazuo has been able to live until now, and it is still Tao Jingfei who commanded him to fight east of the Texas battlefield. Tao Jingfei, who was born as a political work cadre, is slightly inferior to Du Kaishan in command operations. However, in enforcing the discipline of the troops, it is much more restrained and strict than Du Kaishan.

If Du Kaishan had been here, and saw the corpses of those slaughtered residents and his own captured people, he would have ordered that no one should be left alive. For Du Kaishan to capture a big Zuo alive, there is really nothing to cheer and show off. Capturing one alive and killing one wasn't much different for him. It was Tao Jingfei, who had strict discipline, that this guy was able to guarantee his life and not be killed on the spot.

However, although he saved his life, seeing the villagers and the corpses of prisoners of war who were slaughtered by the Japanese army outside the village made this Ben Shijiu Dazuo and his subordinates suffer a lot. Punches and kicks along the way, and when they arrived at the prisoner of war camp, all the people had blue noses and swollen faces.

This person with the highest military rank and the supreme commander of the entire 259th Wing naturally suffered the most. Not only was his body the same as his subordinates, but only a crotch cloth was left behind, and he shivered in the slightly chilly weather in the early morning of spring in North China. And an arm was also broken for some unknown reason.

Discipline must be enforced, but no matter how strict the discipline is, it cannot control everyone's anger when facing the scene of the massacre. Although the anti-United Nations combat troops on the front line of Dingli Pole strictly carried out the order. But under the anger, the action at hand is not necessarily so controllable.

Although he didn't kill these two dozen guys directly, there were a lot of small actions in private. On weekdays, discipline is emphasized, but in the face of those slaughtered corpses, the anger in the heart is no less than that of the army, and the political work cadres do not see these small actions in private.

There was no way they had done their best to restrain the anger in their hearts and suppress the feelings of the troops. As a political cadre, he didn't stretch out his hand, and he was already quite restrained. As long as the troops below don't go too far, they will turn a blind eye. In fact, despite the suspicion of violating discipline, this kind of thing is still relatively controllable among the squadron.

After the American troops landed in Western Europe, on the way to Germany, they rescued the so-called prisoners who were imprisoned in the concentration camps. Faced with mountains of corpses and skeletal prisoners, junior officers and soldiers of the U.S. Army privately executed many concentration camp guards out of anger. But none of these officers and soldiers were punished by law.

It's just that for Americans, it's called illegal justice. But for others, this is called torture of prisoners of war and bloody reprisals. What the Soviets did in Germany throughout the latter part of World War II, although the Americans did not do less. German prisoners of war who died at the hands of the Americans, no less than the Soviets, went there.

However, relatively wealthy Americans were not very interested in German watches and cars. They are more interested in high-end things, such as fine tableware, oil paintings, and other high-value things. The property of the Germans and the painstakingly cultivated scientific elite were taken up by the Americans without mercy. Of course, the difference with the Soviets is that they only look at themselves.

But for the Americans, it was called justice, and what the Soviets or other countries did was called cruel revenge. When people say that they have two mouths, what they do is reasonable. The same is true in the trial of Japanese war criminals, Hideki Tojo stabbed the chrysanthemum of the Americans, and the Americans used the relationship with this guy as a watershed when trying the war criminals.

Those who have a good relationship and obey Prime Minister Tojo are war criminals, and those who have a bad relationship with this guy are allies of the Americans. As for those high-ranking Japanese officers who committed war crimes against the Chinese people, except for Matsui Ishine, the rest were not held accountable.

Including the real culprit of the Nanjing Massacre, the uncle of the Japanese emperor, King Hatohiko Asakanomiya. And the greatest person responsible for the war, the Japanese emperor, was also under the protection of the Americans, and was not held accountable in any way. Of course, those who slaughtered American and British prisoners of war, the Americans will be unceremonious, and they will also be sent to the gallows.

As for the war criminals who launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, how many of them have been held accountable? From the beginning of the September 18 incident to the complete victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression for 14 years, how many of those executioners who slaughtered countless Chinese were sent to the gallows? In terms of holding the Japanese accountable for the war, almost all of the real war criminals of the Japanese, especially the war criminals who invaded China, escaped punishment.

In fact, at the initiation stage of this battle, both Okamura Ninji and Uchiyama Eitaro knew very well in their hearts. At this point, the war has exceeded the limits of Japan's national strength. If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that Japan will be dragged down in a few years.

Once Japan's economy and national strength are completely dragged down, this war will also mean complete defeat. In order to prevent the enemy from retaliating against the defeated Japanese after the war, and in order to reduce the hatred of the Chinese for the Japanese army, both men repeatedly gave orders to the front-line combat units.

No massacres or killings are allowed after the capture of the fighters, especially the wounded of the Union. All captured anti-Japanese Union personnel must be transferred to the prisoner of war camp in Jinan for unified management. No killings or rapes are allowed of conscripted coolies or civilians in the combat zone. When fighting, all units should strictly restrain the combat units below and carry out the orders of the front army and the corps.

But orders are orders, execution is execution, orders are one thing, and execution is another. For the Japanese army, which is committed to slaughter, robbing, raping, and slaughtering to raise morale, it is difficult to carry out this order thoroughly. How easy is it to turn a group of ferocious beasts into gentlemen all at once?

Despite the repeated orders of Okamura Ninji and Uchiyama Eitaro, the killing of prisoners of war and civilians by the Japanese front-line combat units during this battle was still quite severe. The order from above is the order from above, and most of the junior officers of the troops below basically did not carry out this order, except for those officers who were more steady, or had a slightly longer vision.

There were even a considerable number of Japanese combat units that used secrecy or morale boosting as an excuse. The requisitioned coolies are basically disposed of by themselves after they are used. This Ben Fanjiu Dazuo is one of these officers who are in good spirits.

First of all, except for those young and middle-aged people in Dingli Gang Village, who were left to be used as coolies, the remaining old and weak women and children were all slaughtered. Younger women were left behind as morale-boosting trophies. Before this retreat, in order to keep the so-called secrecy, the remaining young men who were left as coolies, including some of the captured personnel who were used as coolies, were also killed with bayonets to kill people.

The bodies of the residents and prisoners of war massacred by the Japanese army were dumped in a shallow ditch to the east of the village. The scars on the corpse that were stabbed by the bayonet clearly told the anti-United Nations troops on the front line of Li Pole what these beasts had done in this small natural village.

Although when he received the report from the troops below, Tao Jingfei also gritted his teeth with some hatred, and he was eager to return blood for blood and tooth for tooth. But in the end, he was born as a political commissar, and discipline still prevailed in his mind. If Du Kaishan had been replaced, of course he would not have given a public order, he was not so stupid that people would have publicly seized this kind of handle.

But there will never be less verbal orders in private. Even if someone is held accountable afterwards, everyone will be red-eyed at that time, who can know that they are going to surrender with a word, and they will prevaricate in one sentence. But for Tao Jingfei, he is still very principled as a political cadre.

However, for an officer like Ben Shijiu Daisa, being able to leave a life now is not really letting go of these brutes. He can save his life now, but only when the real judgment comes. For these Japanese officers who slaughtered civilians, Yang Zhen was not the kind of person who repaid his grievances with virtue. It's not that we don't report it right now, it's just that the time has not yet come.

In fact, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, under Yang Zhen's deployment and arrangement. The Northeast Anti-Japanese Union Military Tribunal sentenced more than 400 Japanese officers to death at one time. The first of them was the commander of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army after the July 7 Incident, and General Gu Shoufu, who was captured by the Anti-Japanese Federation on the Northeast Battlefield and one of the main executioners of the Nanjing Massacre.

At the same time, those who were sentenced to death were also King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, who landed on the Japanese mainland and captured him, as well as King Minoru of Higashikunomiya and Ishine Matsui, and a series of others who did not commit suicide or died on the battlefield when the Japanese army was defeated.

As long as they are within the scope of the Anti-Japanese Federation's arrest, the Japanese officers who participated in the Nanjing Massacre are on this list of death sentences. But it's a pity that the commander of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, who killed the most people in Nanjing and was also the most crazy, was Nakajima Imasago. Maybe it's the fear of being held accountable, or maybe there's something else. Died of illness as soon as the Japanese army was defeated, allowing this guy to escape.

In addition to Ishihara Waner, the mastermind and initiator of the 918 Incident, who was arrested together, and his whereabouts are unknown after being brought back to China. Yang Zhen sent all the Japanese officers who participated in the Nanjing Massacre to the execution ground, including two royal families and a group of retired officers.

For the sake of political needs, the Americans gave up the investigation of war crimes against the Japanese imperial family, but Yang Zhen did not care about that. In his words, even if these guys run to the ends of the earth, they will be caught and repaid with blood. After the anti-coalition forces landed in Japan, the first arrest warrant he issued was first on the list of two royal families, King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace and King Minoru of Higashikure Palace.

If it weren't for the early days of the war of aggression against China, Prince Zaihito Kanin, who served as the chief of staff of Japan, would have died of illness before the end of the war. The head of the Navy's military order, King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong, was already ill and unconscious. Yang Zhen would not mind sending the chief war criminals of the imperial family in addition to the Japanese emperor to the execution ground in these two wars of aggression against China, and the charges for the trial were very uniform.
