Many people in later generations know about our Anti-Japanese War in World War II. But more people don’t know that during the Anti-Japanese War, there was a group of Japanese who were different from the crazy, beast-like Japanese invading army.

After the 9.18 incident, Japanese anti-war writer Tsune Shikachi and his wife Sachiko Ikeda came to China together with Eiko Rokugawa to lead the Japanese who opposed the war in the Kuomintang-controlled areas to carry out anti-war activities.

Kazuo Fukuma, he was the first Japanese to join the Chinese anti-Japanese team and died for it.

Fukuma joined the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces as an employee of the Tukouzi Railway Works Zone in Tokyo. At that time, a group of anti-Japanese allied forces were staying in a forest near Muling County when they were discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops that Kazuo Fukuma and a Korean soldier were injured.

Their comrades had to carry them away.

But they refused. They only asked for two grenades from their comrades, and insisted on staying to cover the retreat of their Chinese comrades. A few days later, when their comrades came back, they found that they had died in battle. Their bodies were brutally murdered by the Japanese army.

Dismembered, the bones were thrown everywhere...

"Why did you join the Anti-Union Forces?" This was the first thing Yang Jingyu asked Fukuma Kazuo after he met him. At that time, a small foreman of East Asia Civil Engineering Co., Ltd. was in the First Alliance Army's attack on the Tukouzi Railway Tunnel Construction Site.

was captured at the time.

The Chinese workers on the construction site all said that Fukuma was a nice person and was kind to the workers, but he didn't care if the workers were working for foreigners. This made his Japanese boss very dissatisfied with him and punished him to do heavy physical labor such as lifting soil with the Chinese workers.

.

"It is not good for Japan to invade China. I am opposed to this approach, and our civilians are also opposed to it. At present, only by stopping this war can the Chinese and Japanese be saved."

Yang Jingyu originally only planned to release Fukuma. However, due to Fukuma's strong request, he had to let him join the Anti-League. He became the only Japanese fighter in the Northeast Anti-League at that time.

"You are Japanese, why are you still fighting with us?" Anti-Japanese soldiers once asked Fukuma. At that time, Fukuma replied with a smile: "It is wrong for us Japan to invade China.

It’s a war that’s wrong and everyone should stop it.”

"What will you do if China wins?" the soldiers asked again, and Fukuma's answer was simpler.

"That's easy! In the future, if your revolution is successful, write me a letter proving that I didn't do bad things in China, and I will go back to my motherland and find an ordinary job to support my family."

Once, Political Commissar Zhao of the First Army and Third Regiment who was operating with them was going to the Soviet Union and planned to take Fukuma with him. But Fukuma refused.

"I joined the Anti-Japanese Alliance to stop the war between China and Japan. The reason why I fought was to work hard for this. If I went to the Soviet Union, then I would not be fighting for this. Instead of this, I would rather

I hope I can stay and fight!”

He stayed and fought, and the battlefield was stained with blood in the end. He chose to cover his comrades and fought hard. Finally, he was discovered by the Japanese army. He was dragged alive for more than 20 meters. In the end, his body was chopped into pieces and scattered all over the mountain...

On March 30, 1933, Sukeo Ita, a member of the "Jiandao Baggage Troop" of the Japanese Kwantung Army, drove a truck loaded with 100,000 rounds of ammunition to the vicinity of Majia Datun in Ning'an County and gave it to the Chinese anti-Japanese rescuers.

However, he committed suicide because he could not find the guerrillas. Three days later, the Anti-Japanese Rescue Corps and the villagers of Majiadatun buried Ida Sukeo, held a grand memorial service, and changed the name of Majiadatun Primary School to

"Ida Elementary School".

“Dear comrades of the Chinese guerrillas:

I saw the propaganda materials you distributed in the ravines. I know that you are red guerrillas. You are patriots and internationalists.

I really want to meet you and defeat the common enemy together, but I am surrounded by fascist beasts and have no way out. I am determined to commit suicide. I will give the 100,000 rounds of ammunition I transported to your army.

It is hidden in the pine forest in the north. Please aim at the Japanese fascist army and shoot. Although I am dead, the revolutionary spirit will last forever. I wish the sacred gczy cause an early success!

Kwantung Army's Japanese Heavy Troops on Jiandao, Red Member Sukeo Ida"

There are many examples like this. In the extremely difficult environment at that time, there were still Japanese people who were willing to stand with China. They either organized anti-war, or directly joined the army. Or they protected and covered the Chinese ** troops.

Or they may express their attitude by refusing to attack.

Some of them were tortured and killed by the Japanese army, and some were arrested and returned to Japan for trial. Some of them have been complaining and exposing Japan's history of aggression after returning to Japan. Even when they were threatened by the right wing and attacked, they never gave up.

Some of them stayed in China, even in the most difficult times, until the last moment of their lives.

"But we can't do nothing, right?!" Takeda Taijun stood up excitedly and said tremblingly to Ozaki Hidemi: "Can't you see the current situation in the country?!"

"We all know how much danger Japan is in now. The war, under the clamor of those madmen, has devastated the entire country. Are we just going to watch the complete destruction of our motherland?!"

Nishiri Tatsuo, Ozaki Shotaro and others couldn't help but sigh deeply when they heard this. Don't they know the current situation in Japan? To put it more bluntly, even Hirohito may have lost confidence in the war?!

Japan's largest reliance, the Combined Fleet, has been unable to compete with the U.S. Pacific Fleet due to defeats in several naval battles.

Even if they can achieve some results on the Pacific front, there is no way to change the entire war situation. Japan has lost its resources and now can only survive.

Without resources, every time one of their warships is destroyed, one of their warships will be lost. Unlike them, the United States, which has huge resources to support it, can restore its fleet in only half a year even after suffering a loss like Pearl Harbor.

The huge productivity allows the United States to complete the production of a battleship in January, but Japan does not have such a strong production capacity. Secondly, the resources are even pitiful.

So what if Isoroku Yamamoto turns the tide this time?! What if they can completely annihilate the US Pacific Fleet on Iwo Jima?!

This only delayed Japan's demise. The Chinese navy, which has gradually stood up, has posed a great threat to Japan in some respects.

Even if he wins the battle on Iwo Jima, Isoroku Yamamoto may not be able to cope with the subsequent IDF naval fleet.

"We already know where the fuel for the Navy's voyage came from. What I want to ask you is, where should we squeeze out the fuel for the Navy's fleet to sail next time?!"

Everyone was silent again. The fuel for the navy's voyage this time was almost forced by Tojo Hideki. Even so, the fuel they commandeered was only enough for the navy to carry out this battle.

If we were to fight again, Tojo would probably not be able to get so much fuel even if he vomited blood. For this Navy's Iwo Jima battle, Tojo directly and arbitrarily transferred all the army's fuel to the navy.

At this time, the Army Department was extremely dissatisfied. However, considering the overall situation, the Army Department still tolerated it. And it is absolutely impossible for the Army Department to allow such a situation to happen again.

"Can we contact Mr. Saionji?! If we get his consent, we can still have a chance to clean up those crazy people in the military department. As long as those crazy people in the military department are cleared out, then we will have a chance to cooperate with China

To negotiate…”

Ozaki Shotaro was silent for a while and then said: "This is probably our only chance. If this fails, we can only watch Japan be destroyed..."

"This is not a good idea. Xiyuan Temple has always been the eagle dog of the royal family. Even if he agrees to our proposal, he does not have enough power to support our execution..."

Ozaki Hidemi said with a wry smile, as a former core staff member of Konoe Fumima, no one knows the current situation in Japan better than him. Although Saionji Temple has a high reputation, it does not have much actual power.

If he hadn't been too involved with the royal family, he would have been eliminated long ago during several military turmoils. And Hirohito would be even less likely to support them.

It can be said that they are now isolated and helpless. Although there have been many riots within Japan since the war began. Japan's military factories were even forced to suspend operations for a time.

But the guns are not in their hands. If they act rashly, the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Army Department can easily wipe them out.

The radicals in the Japanese army are not just one or two, nor are they just high-level officials. They are fanatical from top to bottom, with the largest number of radicals among middle- and low-level officers.

And after radicals such as Tojo came to power, the situation became even more serious. In such an environment, even if they could clear out the high-level radicals with one blow, they would be killed by the new radical officers.

It may cause confusion for a period of time, but it will not change the overall situation at all.

"Are we just going to watch our motherland being destroyed in the war?" Takeda Taijun was filled with sadness.

Others sighed helplessly. Ozaki Hidemi looked at those present and said solemnly: "Even so, there is nothing we can do about it."

"Even if we were coerced, it is true that we launched a war and caused great harm to China... We need to be responsible for this." Ozaki Hidemi took a deep breath and said: "Only by gaining understanding, can we be able to do so in the future

Keep going. Otherwise, our road ahead will only be gloomy..."

Takeda could only sigh when he heard this, what else could he say?! Even if they are full of blood, they can't change the status quo. They can only watch the country slide into the abyss step by step... (To be continued. If you like
