During World War II, how did Japan treat soldiers who were wounded and unable to walk?

<> "How the Japanese Army Treated Wounded Soldiers Who Can't Walk in World War II."

During World War II, the Japanese army was actually very cruel to wounded soldiers who could not walk. On the American side, if a soldier of a certain US detachment is injured, the other team members see him like this, know that the injury is a burden, and even put their own troops in danger of being wiped out, but they still do not abandon their comrades. For example, "Forrest Gump" and "Hacksaw Ridge".

Although it is a movie, it can also reflect the attitude of the United States towards wounded soldiers at that time.

Desmond, the military doctor in "Hacksaw Ridge", fought against the Japanese army in the Pacific Theater and saved the lives of 75 wounded comrades with the meager power of one person. This spirit also embodies the values and ideas of the US military. Even the Japanese in the Pacific theater were deeply shocked by this, but the way the Japanese treated the wounded was incompatible with the American army.

At the beginning of World War II, Japan was quite responsible for treating the wounded and would do its best to treat the wounded. The more seriously injured will try to send them back home**. But by the middle and late stages of the war, the brutality of the Japanese army was not only manifested in the enemy, but also in the interdependent ranks of their own troops on the battlefield.

For those wounded soldiers, they basically simply bandaged them. For those soldiers who could not walk, the actions of the Japanese army were even more immoral.

As the battle line and time lengthened, the Japanese army lacked combat readiness resources and medicines. In order to save resources, the top leadership of the Japanese army made an inhumane decision to directly kill those seriously wounded and sick. Say it's war, the empire can't help you.

In order to make it less painful for you, we can only let you go to the ancestors.

In fact, this is a manifestation of lack of materials, the Japanese army does not want to waste resources on their combat-fighting comrades, and at the same time they are afraid of Shangyuan leaking secrets, so they simply kill them. It is precisely because of this that if the Japanese soldiers in World War II were seriously injured, even if they were seriously injured, they had to let themselves walk, and they would not drag their feet, otherwise they would die if they lay down.

Although war is cruel, the most basic war morality cannot be lost, even if the contradictions between comrades-in-arms are deep, they are brothers who have died on the battlefield.

It was the medic who used an iron hook to hook the corner of the wounded soldier's clothing or body armor to quickly drag him to a hidden place.

<> "How did Japanese soldiers in World War II treat their wounded comrades?

In many war films filmed in the United States, such as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Hacksaw Ridge", we will all see the soldiers who charge into battle being killed and wounded by their opponents, and the living soldiers will shout "medic" and "medic" for help, at this time someone will come to treat the wounded soldiers, and some will even call for surgery for the wounded on the spot, and for the dead soldiers, the "military doctor" will pray, and then leave from the token or dog tag of the deceased, and this person called the "military doctor", It is the field medic that we know well. In the Japanese army of World War II, such medical soldiers were rare.

What's going on here? Didn't the Japanese invade other countries also have the wounded and sick? Or will the Japanese soldiers simply save themselves or will their bodies recover automatically?

In fact, this is not the case. Japanese soldiers are also natural persons. He also takes various forms of attack and damage on the battlefield.

Officers played a small role in the rescue of soldiers.

According to the memories of Japanese veteran Tamoto Tachiro: If a Japanese soldier was slightly injured in the battle, such as trauma, abrasions, burns, etc., it did not affect the continuation of the march, and only the wound was simply cleaned and bandaged, which could be dismantled and disinfected during the war. After that, he will continue to fight with the troops.

But if it's a seriously wounded person, such as a broken leg, a broken foot, an eye injury, a head injury, or someone who affects the march, then you can't expect the rest of the people to carry you on a stretcher or make a crutch for you.

If you leave, you will not wait for the Japanese military doctor to give you a good ** in the camp during the war, and these soldiers are poisoned by militarism, he will refuse to accept **, saving valuable medical resources.

So, what will be the fate of these backward seriously injured patients? If you're lucky, you'll be able to humanize these people when you encounter follow-up troops, leaving some to eat and drink, and wait to die on the battlefield. If you're unlucky, you'll be shot by your own people.

Save bullets and even go straight to the bayonet.

Because these people believe that serious injuries have no effect on the country, it is better to consume battlefield resources than to directly cut off the allegiance of the absolute emperor. If they are caught by the other side and cannot withstand interrogation, the battle plan and the whereabouts of the troops will be leaked. As a result, very few Japanese soldiers who were seriously wounded on the battlefield were able to return to the mainland alive.

This is a completely different result compared to the US military. What do you think about such battlefield cultivation?

In many film and television works, such as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Hacksaw Ridge", we will see that whenever a soldier is killed or injured by an opponent, someone will run over to treat the injured soldier, and these wounded are treated by the battlefield medics. However, in the Japanese army in World War II, there were very few such medical soldiers. Japanese soldiers were also subjected to various attacks and injuries on the battlefield, so how did they treat the wounded?

According to the recollection of a Japanese veteran, if a Japanese soldier was slightly injured in the process of fighting the bridge chain pants, it would not affect the continuation of the individual march, and after a simple wound bandage, he would follow the unit to continue the battle. But if a soldier is affected by a broken leg, an eye injury, a serious head injury, etc., and continues to march, then he cannot count on the help of other personnel, let alone hail in the wartime camp waiting for the Japanese medical officer to give you a careful **.

So what will be the fate of these seriously wounded and sick who are dragging their feet? If you are lucky, you can still humanize these people when you encounter the follow-up troops, leaving them to wait for death on the battlefield with food and drink, and if you are unlucky, you will be sent away directly by your own people, and some even go directly to bayonets in order to save bullets. And these soldiers are poisoned by militarism, and they will also refuse to accept **, saving valuable medical resources.

If they were caught by their opponents, they would not be able to withstand interrogation, but would leak the battle plan and the whereabouts of the troops, so few Japanese soldiers who were seriously wounded on the battlefield could return home alive. It can be seen that this kind of cruel behavior can be regarded as Japan's own evil consequences. Knowledge invasion and deletion.

That's not accurate.

Here are a few examples:

Distinguishing between a medic and a regular soldier, both sides tacitly accepted the helmet with a red cross as the emblem of the medics, a guideline that was later elaborated in the Geneva Conventions.

In the beginning, all parties adhered to this guideline; But by the end of the war, due to war damage, Japan broke this rule:

In the Battle of Iwo Jima, Japan blatantly disobeyed this rule, the unsuspecting American medical soldiers, the liquid defeated red cross on their helmets became their most eye-catching symbol, for a time, all the Japanese soldiers' guns were aimed at these red crosses, one by one the fall of the red cross, which means that more wounded can not be treated, therefore, in the case of surprise, the US military ** is very serious.

In fact, in the later period, when the U.S. military faced the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army, they usually did not go to the rescue:

1, the Japanese army will attack medical personnel, and the attack is still the military doctor of the Mimo Army who is saving his comrades.

2, the wounded Japanese did not seem to appreciate it, he did not want to be treated at all, but pulled the grenade that had been prepared long ago, and chose to die with the American army, after which, the commander of the American army, Vandergrift, also emphasized: "No matter what the situation is in the future, the wounded of the Japanese army will no longer be treated, and all will be killed." ”

3. The U.S. military became prisoners of the Japanese army, and during the period of capture, many U.S. soldiers were injured and sick, but they did not get the foundation they deserved, but when they begged for help, some of the Japanese medical personnel executed them.

The U.S. military mainly has money, and the battle damage is small, so it has the spare money to save the opposing soldiers.

Germany, Japan, and even the Soviet Union couldn't even save their own wounded, and they still spent precious medical resources on enemy prisoners? Pull the stool Ming Lao and pour it!

The United States wanted to take care of the wounded Japanese soldiers in World War II, first, to collect intelligence, second, to publicize the need for endurance, and secondly, because it needed to take into account the impact and make the legitimacy of the war stand on its side.

Why didn't Japan and Germany save each other's wounded soldiers in World War II? And why did the United States not believe in World War II, why didn't Japan and Germany save the wounded soldiers of the other side? And why did the United States call the wounded soldiers of Japan, and is the U.S. military so kind The U.S. military did this to obtain intelligence from the Japanese army, and it was also a means to dig up the Japanese army.

Ying Lasheng should be an international humanitarian, ask for it! Once it loses its resistance, surrender to Xianglu. Those who are captured should be treated. After all, the Americans are still different from the Japanese.

The reason is very simple, and the resources are insufficient.

In fact, Japan and Germany were relatively poor back then, especially in terms of resources, and the problem of food and regret was basically solved on the spot, because it could not be obtained from above.

And the United States is really rich......Their work plan is claimed to start with a few bottles of Coca-Cola per person per day, so there are few records of large heads in the United States threshing straw in batches, and they can also save civilians with some rations, which is the reason, because they can't do it; Japan and Germany can't live without threshing grass, especially in Japan, where the days of eating bark and grass are not less.

Of course not, it's just their propaganda.

As we all know, the Americans in World War II had an enmity with Japan. Originally, after the defeat of the First World War, the United States at home. The soldiers who were sent immediately shot at the bridge and "executed on the spot" several wounded comrades.

For soldiers who are injured and unable to walk, dragging down the march of the entire army, Japan will generally abandon them directly, and even for soldiers who will leave sequelae and affect their lives after being injured, they will directly kill them with a knife, believing that long pain is better than short pain.

During World War II, the Japanese were not only very cruel to the people of the invading countries, but they also treated their wounded soldiers very well, and would kill all the soldiers who could not walk.

1: If it is a soldier who cannot go, they will simply throw it away and leave them to fend for themselves. 2: If they are seriously injured, they will often end their lives with a single stab.

Japan generally treats wounded soldiers who cannot walk in three ways: direct abandonment; Better a finger off than always aching; Headshots. Because they believed in the spirit of bushido, and secondly, they rarely brought military doctors, and medicine was even rarer, and they accepted the idea that they would sacrifice themselves for the emperor at any time.

For these Japanese soldiers who can't take care of themselves, they often choose to end their lives with a knife, or they are directly abandoned on the battlefield.

It is common for other soldiers to be asked to carry the wounded soldier on a stretcher. Japan still attaches great importance to the lives of its soldiers, after all, there are few soldiers, and the quality of soldiers is high, and it is difficult to replenish them once they are lost.

During World War II, Japan was able to treat wounded soldiers who were confirmed to be unable to walk at the beginning, and they could also send them to the rear military hospital as much as possible, where specialized military doctors were responsible for diagnosis and treatment, and if they were really unable to be sent back to China**. However, as the war continues and the battlefield situation changes, there are often three solutions to the wounded soldiers who are injured and unable to walk: one is to directly throw them on the battlefield and leave them to fend for themselves; Most of the wounded soldiers would either detonate a grenade and commit suicide, or they would die with the enemy who waited to clean up the scene, and some of those who did not have time to pledge their allegiance to the "emperor" became prisoners

In the second case, they will be shot directly and without hesitation to end their lives, and will not comfort or ** the wounded soldiers. At first, the wounded soldiers were killed by shooting, so that the wounded soldiers "enjoyed" to die without pain, but later, as the war dragged on and became tight, the Japanese soldiers chose to kill the wounded with knives, allegedly because they did not want to waste bullets. In the third case, the able-bodied soldier pointed a gun at the wounded soldier and forced him to commit suicide by disembowelment with a knife, and if the wounded soldier committed suicide but did not want to commit suicide, he would use a bayonet to make up for it until his death was confirmed!

Japan's treatment of wounded soldiers in this way has nothing to do with the brutality of the Japanese army, mainly because the Japanese believe that their comrades who are wounded on the battlefield will become the greatest burden on the Japanese army. This includes the cost of transporting the wounded, the cost of medicine to treat the wounded, the labor cost of taking care of the wounded, and even the cost of food consumption. Such a simple and crude "one shot" or "one slash" or "double kill with a knife and gun" not only solves many of the above problems, but also avoids the occurrence of military secrets such as the number of the army, the size, the number of people, the method of operation, and the direction of the fugitives due to the capture of the wounded soldiers.

Of course, for those soldiers who were slightly injured at the beginning and were able to continue fighting, the Japanese would not treat them with the above means, and after a simple treatment by the military doctor, they would go into battle until they became wounded who could not walk, and they also went to the point of no return! When some battles are tight and doomed to failure, even the wounded who have already been rescued will once again become a "burden". The military doctor will be responsible for ending the lives of these people, and the most common method is to give an air injection to make the wounded soldier die suddenly, which is the most cruel death!
