Those Japanese devils who were soldiers in the United States during World War II.

It is said that the Japanese devils are fierce, fighting hard and being extremely loyal to their emperor.

But if they don't have an emperor and foreigners lead them, will these devils still be loyal as ghosts?

There is such a thing in history. It happened in America.

Today, Fei Chun read this story. Sometimes, the tributaries of history can also reflect the real mainstream.

On the second day of Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt made an angry speech and declared war on Japan. Vowing to avenge, Japan will never harm the United States again.

Savage, sinister and treacherous, Pearl Harbor left an impression on the United States, not on the whole world.

Once a country is labeled, all its citizens become a face. Japanese people all over the world are inevitably discriminated against.

From 1937 to 12, the Japanese have carried out a "Little Pearl Harbor" attack on American ships on the Yangtze River in China. Later, Japan moved out its own women and primary school students to apologize and compensate the United States. The United States considered this a "first offense" and an "accident" and forgave their cruelty. But a few years later, it showed its true colors.

The quarantine order issued by the United States to Japanese immigrants requires them to move out of their place of residence.

The United States angrily began to isolate the Japanese living in the United States, not for fear of their rebellion, but for fear that after the two countries declared war, these Japanese would be used by the Japanese government to sabotage and be spies.

At that time, there were more than 65,438+065,438+00,000 Japanese in the United States, many of whom had become American citizens. However, they were all forced to leave their places of residence and were isolated in a "concentration camp" in Colorado.

China people in the United States are inevitably mistaken for Japanese. In order to avoid trouble, they put up a "I'm not Japanese" sign in their shop and planted the flag of the Republic of China.

From the Meiji Restoration in1880s, Japan began to accept western cultures from Europe and America. Japanese who went to study and live in the United States have a new understanding of democracy and different loyalty to the Japanese emperor. Young people usually don't have that brainwashed loyalty.

They were wronged after being driven away by discrimination. In order to show that they are not enemies of the United States, young people are determined to join the army, serve the American government and kill the enemy.

Such Japanese are actually not Japanese. They are just overseas immigrants of Japanese and ethnic origin. Japan, for them, has become a concept in their minds. The United States, which has lived for many years, is their support.

Isolation concentration camp

These Japanese, no, should be called Japanese. They were trained separately by the US military to prevent defection. They are called the 100 infantry battalion.

Because of their short stature, these Japanese soldiers were ridiculed by other American troops as "groundhog troops".

Although he was discriminated against, he still trained hard, worked hard, stood firm and had reliable thoughts. Later, he was incorporated into the 442nd Infantry Regiment and sent to the European battlefield.

Roosevelt clearly told these Japanese-American soldiers that "the American spirit does not consider and never considers a person's race or descent."

Encouraged by this, more Japanese joined the army. 1943, there were 14000 Japanese-American troops fighting for the United States in the European battlefield.

These Japanese soldiers on the German-French battlefield are not bragging about their courage. Their desperate spirit is comparable to that of the Japanese devils.

In the battle that the Germans captured Castle Hill, they held the hill without any flank cover, and the Germans fought back many times. Eventually 1.300 people died, leaving 500 people.

Private First Class, who lived in Murray, jumped on the bomb that was about to explode and saved two American soldiers, which was deeply respected by American comrades.

Reporters called these Japanese-American soldiers "iron-made little people"

1944 In the Battle of Vasjes, France, the 442nd Regiment charged many times to save 200 American soldiers in Texas surrounded by German troops, paying the price of 700 lives and saving 1 Texas soldiers with three lives. The 422nd Regiment became famous in World War I and was praised as "the Savior of Texas" by the US military.

At the end of World War II, this infantry regiment suffered more than 9,000 casualties, with the casualty rate as high as 3 14%. The regiment has won many military medals and is known as the "Purple Star Camp". Purple Star Medal, a military medal awarded by the United States to ordinary soldiers.

Heroic fighting won honor for Japanese-Americans and respect for Japanese immigrants.

What do you think of this Japanese who works for an "enemy country"?

1945, in order to transform postwar Japan, Americans wrote a book "Chrysanthemum and Knife" to study the Japanese national character, saying that loyalty is one of the Japanese national characters. Once a monarch is identified, that kind of obedience and gratitude will make them sacrifice everything. The emperor played this role.

However, the "Emperor" of Japanese soldiers is no longer Hirohito.

1946 Washington military parade, the 442nd Infantry Regiment was invited to participate. President Truman said to them, "You must not only fight against cruel enemies, but also face discrimination from friendly forces. However, you have overcome all this. "

It seems that the Japanese devils who are hated by the world are not devils, but Japan.

Aside from the political state, is that devil still a devil?
