In our film and television works, there are many traitors, but it is really rare to hear the Japanese talk about what a traitor is. In 1965, Japan's Asahi Shimbun compiled a book called "父の戦記" to let those veterans of the Japanese army leave memories of the war.

The first part of the book was written by Hirano and was called "Battle Formation Training That Cannot Be Violated", and Lee Taro was the name of a hardcore traitor he mentioned. According to Hirano's "Taijun", traitors are not all such evil and evil guys, and they can't be on the stage. According to the former Japanese army Cao Chang Hirano Masaji, this guy Li Taro is really a hardcore traitor.

Of course, as a Japanese soldier, Hirano would not describe a pro-Japanese Chinese like Li Taro with any malice, and decades later said that he was "a young man with good behavior, a sense of justice and humanity." And how will we feel about him, ...... It's up to you.

In 1941, Hirano's troops were stationed in southwestern Shandong Province on the border with Henan. Across a river, on the opposite side is the base of the Eighth Route Army, because of the close distance, the whereabouts of both sides are clearly identifiable in the eyes of the other party. When I met Litaro, Hirano was serving as the chief of general affairs (chief accountant) of the base, in charge of grain, payroll, bartender, etc., and there was a private named Suzuki in his subordinate cooking class, who was the cook in the base.

The Japanese army traditionally had few logisticians, and the cooks often had to take on tasks that one person could not do. As a result, each Japanese cook was assigned three local Chinese men, and Li Taro was assigned to one of Suzuki's Shandong men. You said, where do the Chinese have this ghost name? That's right, Lee Taro, of course, wasn't called that in the first place. The three men hired were surnamed Li, Wang, and Fang, and all three of them were only in their twenties and were of similar age.

The Japanese couldn't tell their names, so Suzuki sorted them by size for convenience, with the tallest being called "Taro", the middle being called "Jiro", and the shortest being called "Saburo". The husband surnamed Li is the tallest, so he naturally became "Li Taro", and he gladly accepted this title.

Li Taro's six relatives are not dependent, he is very poor, but he works hard, and his education level seems to be the highest among the three men, and he can even learn to speak some Japanese slowly. Speaking of which, Suzuki is not a bad character among Japanese soldiers. He belonged to the "conscription", that is, the soldiers who were drafted into the army rather than serving for a long time, they were older, timid and fearful, and it was better to treat a few men. As a result, Litaro became closer to Suzuki.

So far, it's hard to say whether Li Taro is a traitor or not. Because at that time, there were not a few people who let the Japanese be people's husbands, and Xiao Maoqing in "Xiao Maoqing Joins the Army" also went to repair the blockade ditch for the devil.

In August, the local Japanese army fought a battle with the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese intelligence department detected that the enemy (i.e., the Eighth Route Army) was gathering in a village 10 kilometers away from the opposite bank, and immediately concentrated its forces in an attempt to inflict a major blow on the Eighth Route Army. Due to the lack of troops, Suzuki, who was in charge of cooking, was also transferred to the combat unit and participated in the night raid operation.

Unexpectedly, the strength of the Eighth Route Army was very strong (more like a deliberate ambush by the Japanese army), and as a result, in front of more than ten times the opponent, the Japanese army suffered defeat, retreated, and suffered heavy casualties. Depending on the circumstances of the battle, Suzuki may have died in battle, or he may have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, but no one was alive or dead, and he could only be listed as missing.

After the defeat and return to the stronghold, the Japanese army speculated that he was killed, and no one wanted to assume that he was taken prisoner. When Private Suzuki went missing, Li Taro cried when he heard the news, found the corporal squad leader of the cooking squad, and begged him to organize a rescue as soon as possible - "Send all the Japanese soldiers out and do your best to find someone." He pleaded.

He also found Hirano and persuaded him: "Mr. Suzuki has a wife and children, for the sake of his family's wife and children, shouldn't he immediately go to someone to save people?" Hirano was moved by his words, but he did not have the command of the troops, so he had to go to the commander of the troops to speak, but I don't know if he was afraid of being hit by the Eighth Road again, or if he thought that Suzuki must be dead, and the commander still did not agree to send troops.

"Taro, I'm also the one who lost my father when I was a child. No one knows how bitter a fatherless child is. However, the commander of the unit did not agree to attack, and I am afraid that he had to resign himself to fate. Hirano replied to Lee Taro in this way, recalling the scene decades later: "Looking at Taro's sad face and being deeply moved by his benevolence that transcended national borders, I couldn't help but burst into tears. ”

Let's say why Li Taro is so hardcore to the Japanese soldier Suzuki? As the saying goes, there is no love for no reason, there is no hatred for no reason, according to Hirano's analysis, Li Taro's iron core towards the Japanese is due to the deep hatred with the Eighth Route Army.

It turned out that Li Taro's father was an important person in the puppet county government (known as the "county office" in Hirano) and died at the hands of the communist army (presumably a guerrilla), and the Li family was defeated. Li Taro came to serve the Japanese army, probably because of this.

It is also for this reason that Li Taro's sympathy for the Suzuki family is also very real. It turns out that Li Taro is at least a traitor's family! Seeing that Li Taro was still pleading, Hirano, who was helpless, had no choice but to persuade: "Taro, Suzuki-kun should be gone." In Japan, the government will treat his wife and children very well, and there will be no problems in life, so you can rest assured. ”

Listening to Hirano's words, Li Taro's tears fell cracklingly, and after thinking about it, he took out thirty yuan from his arms and handed it to Hirano: "Mr. Hirano, let's send this money to Mr. Suzuki's family." "Li Taro's monthly salary is only three yuan, and I am afraid that these thirty yuan is not easy to save, which can be called hard-earned money.

Hirano recalled that at that time, thirty yuan was enough to buy a daughter-in-law. At this moment, the Japanese soldiers present were moved, Hirano refused to accept it, and Taro must give it. At the end, Hirano said, "Taro, Xie Lu Xie ......" and couldn't go on.

Under his leadership, Jiro and Saburo also donated some money, and when Hirano took Taro to tell the commander about it, the commander couldn't help but shed tears and saluted Taro to thank him.

Taking the lead in taking out his hard-earned money to give the devil as a pension, the "internationalist spirit" moved the Japanese army commanders who never treated the Chinese as people, and Li Taro's kind is not enough to describe it with iron. has such a deep affection for the Japanese Taijun, this can be regarded as a traitor, right? It's not very easy to say, you see, there are a lot of people who don't distinguish between right and wrong, but they are angry. Maybe Li Taro was just talking to this Japanese soldier named Suzuki? You can say that he is hardcore, but a traitor is not a traitor, and I am afraid that there is more credible evidence. Then let's move on.

But the matter was not over, and Li Taro did not react much to the salute of the Japanese commander - Shandong people were honest, and he was still angry about the refusal of the Japanese commander to send troops to save Suzuki. As a result, after the commander of the army expressed his gratitude, Li Taro yelled at the commander in Japanese clearly - "Hachigayaru!" Before the Japanese soldiers could react, Lee Taro turned around and ran away. Good guys, this is simply more Japanese than Japanese......

On the evening of the twelfth day after Taro fled, suddenly, Wang Jiro came to Hirano and said, "Taro wants to see you." Hirano followed him without thinking. Why wasn't he afraid that the Eighth Route Army had set him up? Thinking about the hardcore master of Lee Taro, this possibility does not exist at all. Lee Taro is hiding in the shadows of the kitchen.

He found Private First Class Suzuki at Heikosho on the other side. Suzuki did not die, he was shot in battle, fractured his thigh, captured by the Eighth Route Army, and was well cared for and treated. Now, the main force of the Eighth Route has been transferred, and there are twelve or thirteen people in Heijiazhuang, and Li Taro is determined to go with Wang Erlang and Fang Saburo to rescue Suzuki, so he hopes that the Japanese soldiers will shoot them......

God, in order to save the Japanese soldiers, they asked the Japanese army for guns and tried to attack our anti-Japanese forces, do you still need evidence this time? Li Taro's identity as a hardcore traitor should be beyond doubt. Not to mention Lao Sa's emotion, Hirano was also taken aback by Li Taro's idea - he probably had never seen such a Chinese.

However, Li Taro obviously did not understand the "rules" of the Japanese army. It is a joy to be alive, but if Suzuki is actually captured, it will raise a big problem - if he asks the commander to send troops, even if Suzuki is rescued, he will have to go to court-martial.

As is customary, if you have indeed been captured, you will definitely be shot! If Suzuki had died in battle, his family would have become the "wife of Yasukuni" and would have received generous pensions, but if he had been shot because he had been captured, Hirano's miserable expression when he came to receive his ashes was really unimaginable.

Hirano wrote: "According to the requirements of the "Battle Formation Training", in the Japanese army, if you become a prisoner, you must apologize with death. To die is a national demand, a supreme command. ”

At this moment, Hirano didn't know what to do. However, Litaro kept crying and pleading, and in the end, Hirano made a difficult decision not to talk about it to the commander of the unit and save Suzuki on his own.

Hirano lent Taro his pistol, gave grenades to Jiro and Saburo, and borrowed guns from other soldiers, wrapped them in cloth and camouflaged, and then changed into civilian clothes for the Chinese, and the four of them set off from the camp.

Along the way, although there were interrogations from time to time, Li Taro was a local and dealt with it quite reasonably, so everything went smoothly until Heijiazhuang. Heike Zhuang arrived

It is estimated that when it comes to this matter, many friends will speculate that this Li Taro is eighty percent the "nail" in the Japanese stronghold of the Eighth Road. The family can be faked, the devil can act, and he doesn't become a hardcore traitor, how can he make Hirano, a big living person, into the old nest of the Eighth Road? Compared with capturing a Japanese soldier alive and surrendering two guns, Li Taro's donation of 30 yuan can only be regarded as a small bait.

This kind of thing has happened a lot in history, and there are more in TV series, which belongs to classic episodes. However, history is not all TV series. Unfortunately, this Li Taro is really a hardcore traitor, and he has nothing to do with him at all. If it is such a "classic" thing, Lao Sa will not be guilty of repeating work here. The fact is that under the planning of Li Taro, Hirano and others really launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army to take the opportunity to rescue Suzuki, a Japanese prisoner.

This hardcore traitor is bold and careful, and only a few people dare to attack the base of the Eighth Route Army, which is comparable to Liu Kuisheng, the captain of the Baoding night attack in "Behind the Enemy Lines". Attacking the Eight Roads at night, it's a crazy deal to think about! When will it be the devil's turn to do this kind of work like a night attack?

Pingjiazhuang is a small village with no more than 30 households. For this rescue operation, Li Taro has stepped on the point in advance, and he knows that most of the eight roads in the night are doing engineering (digging tunnels?). On the hospital side, only the sentinels are more difficult to deal with. Together with Wang Erlang, Li Taro pretended to be a night walker and cleverly accosted the sentry of the Eighth Route Army in the local dialect, attracting his attention, and Hirano and Fang Saburo took the opportunity to sneak through the cordon and hide in a haystack.

As Hirano and the others threw grenades, and then fired indiscriminately, causing chaos in the Eighth Route Army, Li Taro took the opportunity to get into the hospital and save Suzuki, who was not much guarded in the first place. However, a few of them were cowardly, and most of them were not combatants, so in Hirano's recollections, they did not hit the sentry of the Eighth Route Army, who jumped up, ran out of the outpost, and fell on the ground and blindly shot back.

It seems that Tu Balu has also been a little blinded - Balu can't imagine that such a few devils and traitors would dare to touch the tiger's buttocks! The tall Li Taro jumped into the sorghum field with Suzuki on his back, and Hirano and the others fought and retreated. Both sides didn't dare to fight, but they finally brought Suzuki to safety.

Towards dawn, they retreated to the Japanese stronghold and temporarily placed Suzuki in the cook's room. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." When Suzuki saw Hirano, he cried bitterly and said only this one sentence. His leg was splinted, his eyes were blank, and his expression was glazed. "Suzuki, you didn't take it prisoner. You were seriously injured and unable to move, and you were rescued by well-meaning villagers, and then we picked you up! Therefore, military courts must not sentence you to prisoner. You will surely be sent home as a glorious wounded and sent to the hospital for treatment. We are the only ones who know about it. ”

Hirano told such a lie to comfort Suzuki, in fact, both of them knew that they had been missing for twelve days, and had come back after being treated well, and God knows who would believe such a ridiculous statement. At this time, before the wake-up horn was blown, Hirano returned to his room, thinking in vain about how to report the incident to the troop commander.

At 5:20, there was a loud bang, and the glass of the entire stronghold was shattered. Hirano ran to the cooking class, already with a sense of foreboding in his heart. I saw Private Suzuki fall to the ground, the house was full of gunsmoke and blood—Suzuki committed suicide by pulling a grenade, his liver and intestines were smeared on the ground, and his broken arm was thrown in a pool of blood, still trembling.

"I shouldn't have been a prisoner, I'm sorry." Suzuki left a suicide note with only this one sentence. "How so?" Taro rushed over, looked at Suzuki's body, and crouched there crying loudly. At this time, the commander of the troops also came. I had to give him a detailed briefing.

"Suzuki, you died well. It can be called the flower of martial arts. The commander of the unit looked at the situation and praised. After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to the adjutant, "Send a revised telegram to the division and regimental headquarters, and change the word 'missing' to war dead." ”

At this moment, the hardcore traitor Li Taro jumped up and shouted: "The Communist Party has bandaged him and treated him, how can you, the commander of the army, still feel happy when he sees such a scene?!" ”

Hirano can't explain it - the national conditions are different, and if you explain it, I'm afraid Taro won't be able to understand what it means to be a "wife of Yasukuni". Li Taro said to Hirano, "Mr. Hirano, see you again!" He turned his head, looked at the commander without fear, and scolded fiercely: "Oriental devil! After scolding, he went away angrily and never came back - none of the Japanese present had the courage to stop him.

Hirano wrote: "The inhumane sentence in the 'Battle Training', 'Do not suffer the humiliation of being captured alive and taken prisoner, and do not die and leave the stigma of a sinner', is as cold as ice. The 28-year-old First Class Suzuki, because of it, could only kill himself...... Who wrote this battle formation and promulgated it to the whole army?

For Litaro, who has a benevolent heart, only an 'Oriental devil' who doesn't know human nature would do this. Unexpectedly, the fate of the hardcore traitor Li Taro is not unknown after that. In 1942, the Japanese army launched the Pacific War, but the tide of the war quickly reversed, and Hirano's troops were constantly under fierce attacks and suffered heavy losses.

Hirano wrote: "Li Taro, who was called 'Oriental Devil' back then, appeared in the Eighth Route Army at this time and became a young squadron leader. He was bold, calm, and elusive in battle, and took the elimination of the 'Oriental devils' as his business, and dealt heavy blows to the Japanese army many times. ”

Good guy, the hardcore traitor has become Li Xiangyang, this change, Sa's careful liver is a little too hard. went to save Suzuki, caused the death of a Japanese soldier (Suzuki), a Japanese soldier was war-weary (Hirano), and sent a hardcore traitor who was familiar with the situation of the Japanese army and could speak Japanese to the Eighth Route Army. The Imperial Army lost a lot this time.

Hirano wrote this in the last paragraph of the article, saying: "By now, it has been twenty-five years, and now, if Taro were still alive, he would be a big cadre in the People's Republic of China, so he would definitely contribute his sense of benevolence and justice to 'serving the people'." ”
