Japanese soldiers were the craziest soldiers during WWII, they could even give their lives for the sake of the Emperor and were proud of it, but unfortunately the Japanese military hierarchy and even the Emperor didn't value their lives much.
Let's see what Americans did during WWII. We have all seen the movie "Saving Private Ryan", in order to go to rescue a soldier, just because he was the only one left in his family, a U.S. Army squad set out to rescue finally paid a huge sacrifice to bring Ryan back safely, but the old America think it is worth it, this thing is in line with their values.
But in Japan, the lives of their soldiers were treated as if they were nothing.
I don't know if you have this impression, no matter whether it is a documentary or in the movie and television drama, the Japanese army have no medical personnel, at most field hospitals to treat wounded soldiers. Because Japan is such a small country with limited resources, even medical resources are also very scarce, so the valuable medical resources are generally used in senior officers, while ordinary soldiers will only be able to fend for themselves.
Generally injured Japanese soldiers would be treated as follows:
Treated. In the midst of a tense battlefield environment, the ghosts who are treated in this way have to burn a lot of incense, and the chances of running into them are few and far between. They are left to fend for themselves on the battlefield. Leave a few grenades and die with honor. I don't know if you have seen the movie "Purple Day", at the end of the movie, the crazy Japanese soldiers have collapsed after hearing the news of Japan's surrender, they gathered around pulling the line grenade, shouting long live the Great Japanese Empire, after the explosion into pieces, even the women, the elderly and the children can not be spared by the Japanese army forced to pull the grenade. Assassinated by their own people. In the Battle of Iwo Jima, in the face of the American offensive, the Japanese knew they could not be stopped, and in the final stages of the battle, the Japanese killed all the wounded and organized their soldiers to launch a suicide attack on the U.S. Army. Injections of air needles. During an emergency retreat, the wounded would be forcibly injected with air needles because they could not keep up with the marching pace. When a large amount of air enters the body quickly, due to the beating of the heart, it will lead to blockage of the pulmonary arteries thus leading to sudden death, and will die in the midst of extreme pain.No matter in which country, soldiers are to be respected, they can give up their lives in order to defend their own country, and this practice of the Japanese nation also foretells its demise, no wonder there are U.S. military officials frankly: Japan is a crazy nation!
