The woman's head flew more than a meter away, and her hair suddenly floated in all directions, although decades have passed, the scene at that time is still vivid and unforgettable...”
"Sixteen peasants, who had no evidence of any 'crime' at all, were beheaded and buried in a pit, and the leader of the detachment lit a bunch of incense and inserted it into the mound, and began to put his hands together and chant sutras. ’”The above two creepy and chilling texts are not apocryphal horrors**, but from the diary of a Japanese military policeman: "My Autobiography".
In his diary, he recorded in detail the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese invaders, including himself, in China.
Murdering a thirteen-year-old child, abusing a Chinese woman in front of a dozen Chinese men, beheading and burying innocent people alive...It's not so much a diary as it is a bloody piece of incrimination.
"This is the last confession of my life. The Japanese gendarme said.
The blood-stained devil repented bitterly, what changed him?What historical truths are recorded in this diary?
Minoru Nishitani was born in a peasant family in Japan, he was timid and soft-hearted since he was a child, and he had to overtake a mouse when it died, and when his neighbors were doing funerals, he was too scared to go out, hiding at home and shivering.
Minoru Nishitani's father was a fanatical militarist, and when he was alive, he always gave Minoru Nishitani **: His Majesty the Emperor is a living god in the world!”
Out of loyalty to the emperor, he hoped that his son would not be so "cowardly", and it would be better to join the army, so that he could not only serve His Majesty the emperor, but also receive a pension, and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
When Nishitani was four years old, his father died, leaving him and his mother to rely on each other, and the poor and difficult life made Nishitani Minoru have a deep obsession with "getting ahead".
In the early thirties of the 20 th century, Japan's militarism swelled unprecedentedly, and the authorities frantically advocated the policy of foreign expansion, and the whole country became a high-speed war machine.
At this time, Nishitani Minoru had grown up**, and his dream was to be a tram driver, but soon after, he found that the Japanese military police were very respected, and they had a sense of superiority, and their dignity was not comparable to that of the tram driver.
Japanese gendarmerie.
So, Minoru Nishitani, who was eager to achieve fame, changed his ambitions and joined the Japanese gendarmerie.
On July 7, 1937, the Japanese army smashed open the gate of Wanping Castle with guns, and the sound of gunfire from the Lugou Bridge reached Japan, which made Minoru Nishitani excited.
Since he had always received the education that "the emperor is a god" and "the Yamato nation is the best nation", Minoru Nishitani did not feel that there was anything wrong with invading China.
In his opinion, it was their honor that Japan, centered on the emperor, was certainly qualified to rule over those "inferior" peoples.
In order to help the emperor accomplish this "great cause", Minoru Nishitani applied to the commander to go to the Chinese battlefield:
"There is nothing better than going to the battlefield, because the front line can fulfill my three wishes in one fell swoop: to fight for the emperor, to fight for the family, and to fight for myself to get ahead as soon as possible!”
In October 1939, Minoru Nishitani landed on Chinese soil as he wished, as an invader.
More than a month later, Minoru Nishitani, who didn't even dare to step on the bugs, killed the first Chinese in Foshan.
At that time, three or four Chinese had already died tragically at the hands of Japanese soldiers, and when it was the turn of a middle-aged man in his thirties, the captain of the gendarmerie ordered: "Nishiya, you kill this!."”
Nishitani's legs trembled uncontrollably, and he held the knife in his hand, his knuckles white.
At the urging of his superiors, Minoru Nishitani walked up to the man and slashed with a strong swing of his knife, only cutting off less than a third of his neck.
The captain of the gendarmerie was very dissatisfied with Nishitani's knife skills, and roared, "Stab him in the heart!."”
So, Minoru Nishitani shuddered again and went around the man's left rear and stabbed him in the heart.
The warm blood splashed on his hands and face, making Nishitani Minoru weak all over, and that day, he didn't even eat food, and he had nightmares for a whole week, and he woke up covered in cold sweat.
Later, Minoru Nishitani confessed that although he did not treat Chinese as human beings at that time, he was still very reluctant before killing people, and the reason why he killed people was because the orders of the commander could not be disobeyed.
Judging from the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army in China, the vast majority of Japanese soldiers shared this idea of Minoru Nishitani.Chinese
In their eyes, the Chinese are not people, but livestock that can be slaughtered at will, tools to satisfy desires, and trophies to show off their war achievements.
From here, it can actually be seen that Nishitani Minoru is no longer the kind-hearted child, and earlier, when he received the ** education in school, he had become a war machine without humanity.
After killing the first man, Nishitani became much more proficient, supervising the killing of his subordinates every month, and he himself sometimes hacked people to death with a knife.
Some of these people are "suspects of anti-Japanese activities", and some are honest ordinary people, and no matter who they are, the Japanese gendarmerie will fabricate a crime to arrest and kill them, so as to satisfy their desire to kill.
In Nishitani's diary, there are several murders that make people angry and heartbroken.
In his later years, in order to atone for his sins, Minoru Nishitani wrote a diary called "My Autobiography", in which he recorded in detail the whole process of his killing of a teenager.
This teenager is called "Xiao Liu", the son of the guerrilla leader, who was only thirteen years old when he was captured.
However, Nishitani's comrades-in-arms felt that he was too merciful and clamored to kill Xiao Liu.
"Can't let him live!”The group of murderers shouted unwillingly, and the cries became louder and louder, and finally, the captain of the gendarmerie ordered:"Kill him!”
As a result, Nishitani had no choice but to fabricate a crime and report it as a material, so that the murderer would be "famous".
On the day of Xiao Liu's death, Nishitani Minoru was also at the scene, the child's hands were tied behind his back, and his eyes were covered with black cloth, he was like a little beast that sensed danger and was restless, crying and making trouble in fear, which brought great difficulty to the "execution".
Nishitani Minoru walked up to Xiao Liu and lied to him
"If you don't cry, I'll let you go and let you go back to your mother. ”Xiao Liu's crying stopped, and he asked in disbelief, "Really?"”
Minoru Nishitani walked behind the boy and said, "Is that still fake?."He pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger.
Bang" A gunshot rang out, Xiao Liu fell to the ground in response, the bullet passed through his head, the blood flowing from the blood hole soaked the ground under him, and the entire cemetery was as silent as death.
"When I think about it, I feel like I really deserve to die. ”In his later years, Minoru Nishitani hid his face and wept when he recalled this incident, and his tone was heartbroken and remorseful.
Of course, Nishitani and his colleagues committed much more evil in China.
In August 1940, Minoru Nishitani was ordered to investigate and interrogate Chinese captured by the gendarmerie in Shunde, Guangdong, a group of mostly men between the ages of 25 and 40, with only one young woman.
After being interrogated, Nishitani found them innocent peasants and planned to detain them for two or three days before letting them go home.
He locked the man in two open rooms, while the woman slept in the corner of the corridor, guarded by an auxiliary gendarme, who at night took the woman ** in front of a dozen Chinese men.
The woman reported the matter to the gendarme on duty, and after hearing this, the gendarme on duty was afraid that the scandal would affect the image of the gendarmerie, so he sentenced the woman, along with the other Chinese arrested, to death.
The execution took place in a cemetery on the outskirts of Foshan, where sixteen Chinese stood in a row by a pit dug in advance by the gendarmes.
At the time of the execution, none of them shouted loudly, but their eyes were round, and they glared at the Japanese soldiers like angry eyes, eager to peel the skin and cramp the devils.
This kind of look made the Japanese soldiers present feel very uncomfortable, they blindfolded the eyes of the "criminals", raised their knives in their hands, and rolled their heads into the pit one by one.
What is disgusting is that after the "beheading" of more than a dozen innocent peasants, the detachment leader also lit a bunch of incense and inserted it into the mound, clasped his hands together, and chanted words in his mouth.
According to Minoru Nishitani, the detachment leader was overdoing it for them, and he also warned the auxiliary gendarmes:
"No matter what bad things you do in life, you can become a Buddha after you die. ”Minoru Nishitani was outraged by the detachment leader's behavior of "stuttering human flesh and reciting the mida":
"It's shameless to let someone else cut someone and say such things later!”In fact, Minoru Nishitani is not qualified to blame the team leader at all, because they are a raccoon dog.
During his stay in Guangdong, Nishitani arrested more than 100 innocent civilians and killed more than 40 anti-Japanese soldiers with his own hands.
If you owe a debt, you have to pay it back, and the day of repayment will soon come.
In December 1941, Japan had the audacity to attack the U.S. base at Pearl Harbor, pulling the United States into the water while watching the fire from across the strait.
The entry of the United States accelerated the pace of Japan's self-destruction, and in the following Pacific War, the self-confident Japanese army suffered one defeat after another.
At the same time, they were exhausted by stubborn resistance from China and the Soviet Union, and in a word, the front was too long to be recovered.
In 1945, the Japanese army was at the end of its rope, like rats in the gutter, scurrying around in a panic, and Minoru Nishitani was also in the team fleeing for his life.
He took 12 of his subordinates to hide in the east, but unfortunately met with the Soviet Red Army on a narrow road, and the team was broken in half.
Minoru Nishitani took five retinues into the deep mountains and old forests in embarrassment, and did not dare to step out a single step, because outside was either the Chinese Self-Defense Forces or the Soviet Red Army, and to go out was to die.
Three days later, Minoru Nishitani thought of a good way to save his life, he and his entourage attacked a farmer's family, hacked a man about 25 years old in the house to death, and then robbed him of all his clothes and food.
After changing into Chinese clothes, the six walked peacefully for a while and met a farmer again.
There was only one 60-year-old man in the family, Minoru Nishitani, who lied that he was a member of the Pioneer Group who had lost his way, and asked if he could rest here for a night.
The old man was very kind, not only agreed to his request to stay overnight, but also took out his own food stock, and said kindly
"There is food at home, all here, cook some food for yourselves. ”At this time, the soft-hearted old man had no idea that he was facing a group of vicious wolves with Sensen fangs.
Originally, Minoru Nishitani had no intention of attacking the old man, but when chatting with the old man, the old man inadvertently revealed that he had a son who would be back tomorrow.
Fearing that their whereabouts would be revealed, Minoru Nishitani asked his men to tie up the old man, while he himself brandished his sword and cut off the old man's head with his own hands.
Probably retribution, Nishitani was captured by the Soviet Red Army not long after killing the old man and became a prisoner, and the next thing is a devil's confession.
Minoru Nishitani was captured by the Soviets and sent to Siberia, where he had to perform high-intensity manual labor every day.
The cold climate and harsh environment in Siberia made Nishitani suffer, and he had to face criticism and bullying from other Japanese prisoners.
At this time, Nishitani Minoru had no remorse, like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and when the Soviet side interrogated him about the relevant crimes of the ** Chinese, he did not admit anything, either fooled the pass, or passed all the blame on his superiors.
In July 1950, Minoru Nishitani was transferred to the Fushun War Criminals Management Center in China, where he still refused to admit his crimes, saying that everything he did was on orders from his superiors.
There are not a few Japanese soldiers like Minoru Nishitani who are unrepentant, and the staff of the Fushun War Criminals Management Center uphold the humanitarian spirit of "hating crimes and not hating people" and take care of these executioners who have killed their compatriots.
This kind and tolerant attitude made Nishitani Minoru both grateful and guilty, he killed so many Chinese, but the staff of the Fushun War Criminals Management Center took good care of him, not relatives more than relatives.
Lying on his hospital bed, he pondered every day: Is the Japanese imperialist ideology that I believe in really correct and just?
After staying in the management center for a while, Nishitani Minoru gradually repented, he wanted to confess his crimes, but he was afraid that he would be executed if he spoke out, you know, these are dozens of lives, if it is leaked, he will definitely die!
Just when Nishitani was very entangled, a major incident happened in the management office, a Japanese soldier jumped into the manure tank and attempted suicide, and the Chinese guards jumped in without saying a word and rescued the Japanese soldier.
Minoru Nishitani was deeply moved when he heard the news, and he submitted a confession to the management office, shaking off all the crimes he had committed.
In the summer of 1956, Minoru Nishitani received leniency from prosecution and was allowed to return to China.
After returning to Japan, he used his personal experience as a blueprint to launch propaganda activities in Japan to preach to the Japanese people about the crimes of the war of aggression against China and expose the crimes committed by the Japanese aggressors in China.
"I have committed so many heinous crimes, so it is my duty to tell the story of the crimes of the war of aggression and to tell our next generation, that if we remain silent, someone will wipe it clean and repeat it in the future, and we should pass on these facts of aggression from generation to generation. Minoru Nishitani said.While reflecting on himself, Minoru Nishitani is also concerned about the situation in China, and he actively participates in the construction of the Hope Primary School and the library.
Probably because he had done too much evil, Minoru Nishitani was riddled with illness in his later years, and spent most of his time in a hospital bed, and when he felt a little better, he got up and sat at the desk and wrote a diary.
Every time he finished writing a large paragraph, Minoru Nishitani had to stop and cry for a while, and the progress was very slow.
"I think this is the last confession of my life, and I often have tears in my eyes, so I have to run into the bathroom without my wife. ”On April 23, 2001, Minoru Nishitani died in Japan with a sinful illness.
Conclusion:
It is true that Nishitani Minoru is indeed seriously repentant, but in front of thousands of compatriots who died tragically, his belated confession is worthless.
We enjoy the peaceful life that the martyrs bought with their lives, and we are not qualified to forgive this group of people who have lost their conscience for them.
So, what if Minoru Nishitani regrets it the most?He still can't wash away the stench emitted from his body, karma is reincarnated, ** he will fall into hell with his sins all over his body, and he will be reborn to atone for his sins in the world, and he will not be able to transcend.
And for this kind of devil stained with the blood of our compatriots, for that history that is so painful that it makes people cry, we will never forgive, never forget!
