Chapter 332 Justice Trial (Third update, please subscribe)
Guillotine!
For the world, what is the biggest impression of the guillotine?
I am afraid that it is Louis XVI, Robespierre and the French Revolution. Countless French people died under the tireless guillotine.
But because the guillotine can execute criminals cleanly and quickly, saving them from excessive pain. So in the eyes of the French, it became a more humane way of execution, symbolizing progress and kindness.
"This is a progressive and merciful method of execution."
This is what the French said more than a hundred years ago.
Well, it was a merciful execution. Because of kindness and progress, Borneo introduced this advanced production tool from France. No, it should be an execution tool to end production.
Who is this kindness for?
Of course it is for the prisoners who committed war crimes.
Surrendered!
After the surrender, the soldiers became prisoners of war!
As early as three months ago, Japanese troops stationed in various places gathered in several big cities such as Batavia and Surabaya, and were then detained in prisoner-of-war camps by the Allied forces.
The prisoner-of-war camps are not military camps, but ordinary warehouses. Each warehouse is crowded with prisoners. The prisoners often only have a straw mat and can only lie on the ground, and then wait for the unknown. destiny.
Like everyone else, Oshima became a prisoner. He landed at the airport very quickly. After hearing the emperor's voice, he had only one thought, which was to go home!
"Oh, just wait, we will be able to go home soon!"
As usual, Oshima, who was imprisoned in Okura, always said this to the people around him.
Whenever he is free, Oshima will always think of Meihui’s satin-smooth skin. For Oshima, there is nothing more important than returning to his wife. After all, he has left home. Six years later, the child is almost five years old.
"It's a girl anyway..."
While Oshima was full of expectations, waiting to go home to reunite with his wife and daughter and love them well, they were pretended to be Ship, shipped to Borneo.
For the Japanese army, this was just the beginning of a nightmare. When we were reclaiming the rainforest, the thatch in the rainforest was much taller than a human being. The ridges and edges on the back of the thatch leaves were sharper than knives. If we accidentally touched it, we would bleed. In addition, swarms of hornets are buzzing in broad daylight; leeches are everywhere. If you are not careful, the exposed parts of your face, neck and limbs will be sticky. When the skin becomes itchy, the leeches will It has been filled with blood and has swelled to the size of a chopstick. It still bleeds after being peeled open with my hands!
After the rainy season arrives, everything is wet. Even when it stops raining, there is still rain floating in the sky, like fog and rain. The sun has hidden somewhere, and it is often counted. No sunlight for weeks or even whole months. Due to the extremely high humidity in the air, clothes, beds, and boxes were all damp and vaporous. The extreme humidity caused the prisoners to be covered in eczema.
All prisoner-of-war camps are the same - the prisoners live in thatched huts, sleep on tiles made of wooden planks, and dozens of people are crowded into one shack.
The Taiping bunkbed is always wet.
"Baga! We are human beings too, how can they treat us like this..."
Once again, the prisoners sleeping in the straw hut couldn't help but complain. They were covered in eczema and were tortured to death by the harsh environment here.
But they only dared to complain in the shed, and did not even dare to make a loud noise, because the guards would never spare bullets.
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, if the officers find out, someone will die..."
Oshima reminded them in a low voice, and even whispered.
“We are human beings, and they are human beings too, but we didn’t treat them as human beings at the beginning...”
One sentence revealed everything in the world, retribution is not good, and what they are suffering now is just retribution.
At this moment, the whistle sounded, and the guards urged them to line up while blowing the assembly whistle.
Soon, thousands of Japanese soldiers lined up neatly in accordance with the order, standing in the open space in the center of the prisoner of war camp. Oshima saw the armored vehicles at the exit and the machine gunners on the tower.
This scene looks familiar.
I seem to have seen it somewhere.
What are they going to do?
In confusion, they saw Chief Qian Lei, the director of the prisoner of war camp, walking out. He stood on the stage and said loudly.
"From now on, the person whose name is called will stand in the front row."
Then he began to read the name.
"Yonekura Keiichi"
"Yasu Aizawa"
"Jiro Fukuyama"
"Maeda..."
...
People who heard the name kept standing there Ahead, Da Dao, among the crowd, was even looking forward to it. Is this... is he going to send them home?
"Oshima Akira."
Finally, Oshima heard his name, so he walked out happily. When he walked out, he could even see envious looks from around him.
Haha, you bastards, continue to suffer here!
I’m going home!
Honey, and Xiao Meihui, I’m going home!
Dad will definitely love you well when he comes home.
Haha, I’m going home.
Finally, I stood in the front row.
Looking at the commander on the stage, Odao was very excited. Soon the commander would announce that they were the first people to go home. Just then, the car came, the car really came.
Looking at the approaching truck, Oshima felt excited, and so did everyone else. Finally... he was going home!
Soon, like the other people standing in the front row, Oshima also lined up to get on the bus. When he got on the bus, his expression was excited and his heart was excited.
When the car started to drive away, he, like everyone else standing in the car, waved to his comrades.
"Goodbye, goodbye, we are going home..."
For a time, the scene was exciting, and the car just drove away from the playground,
"I really envy these guys!"
"Haha, if they can go home, we will be able to go home soon too!"
This is what popped up in everyone's hearts When thinking about it, Qian Lei said on the stage.
"All the people named just now were identified by survivors as the murderers of the Chinese! According to the order of the Military Justice Department-all will be sentenced to death!"
What!
The Japanese soldiers who were originally full of joy were all dumbfounded. The Japanese soldiers who were originally lined up shouted loudly.
“What’s going on?”
“We are soldiers, not criminals!”
“We are soldiers, not criminals. You can’t do this to us.”
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, a sudden burst of gunfire rang out, and the Japanese soldiers in the front row fell down.
The sound of gunfire made the originally excited Japanese soldiers finally calm down, and they realized that they were now prisoners of war.
They are just meat on the board now.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers in the audience, Qian Lei said coldly.
"Remember your identities, you are alive because of our kindness!"
After saying that, he nodded to the side, a car came, and then A wooden guillotine was brought to the stage.
What is that?
Just when the devils were confused, the car that drove away came back again, and the people who were originally happy were now tied up behind their backs.
"Sir, sir, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to send us home?"
Oshima asked in fear. He who was originally full of joy and thought he was going home, Before leaving the prisoner of war camp, he was tied up behind his back, and then he came back again.
What's going on?
His inquiry was met with a sneer from the side.
"Yes, I am sending you home, my hometown..."
At this time, Oshima saw Maejima standing in front being pushed out of the car.
"Taro Maeshima, did you kill two overseas Chinese in Batavia on March 12, 1942?"
The military judge asked loudly.
"I, I am a soldier, and I need to obey orders. It was Captain Komatsu's order at that time..."
Taro Maeshima defended himself loudly.
“The answer is yes, or no!”
Facing the question of the military judge, Taro Maeshima said.
"I, I was just obeying the order...The situation at that time was..."
No one paid attention to his excuse, the military judge ordered to the recorder on the side.
"Record, the war criminal First Class Taro Maeshima truthfully confessed his crimes."
While the recorder was recording, the military judge asked again.
"Taro Maeshima, if you expose other people's crimes now, you can get leniency. Do you have other people's crimes to expose?"
"Expose other people?"
Taro Maeshima said with wide eyes.
"I am a soldier, you are not insulting my dignity! I will never betray my comrades."
When he said these words, he not only used righteous words There was even a hint of anger in his tone, as if it was because of the other party's problems. How could he betray one of his own?
The military judge glanced at him and said.
“Okay, execution!”
Before Maejima could figure out what was going on, the man was pushed to the guillotine. When he was pressed down on the slab, the wise man shouted in horror.
“That, that’s the guillotine!”
Guillotine!
Just when the Japanese soldiers in the audience came to their senses, the blade of the guillotine fell, "whoosh... click".
The moment the head flew away and fell into the basket, blood spattered for several feet. Then the executioner lifted Maeshima's head like a pig's head and showed the people in the audience that the blood splattered from Maeshima's broken neck. Flow...
