How did Japan handle seriously wounded soldiers in World War II, and how do Japanese veterans still get chills?

In war, what determines the victory of a battle is not only the fighting strength of this army, food, and equipment, but also a strong medical facility as a backing. After all, war is cruel, it is not like in the game, as long as the death can be immediately resurrected, the death of a soldier often represents the end of a fighting force in the army, the destruction of a fighting force. Whether it is the U.S. Army with superior resources, or the Chinese Army with more scarce resources at that time, their treatment of the wounded is very humane, very dedicated, on the one hand, because it is a human life, if he can be cured, in the later situation can realize the reuse of the source of soldiers, and on the other hand is out of humanitarianism, after all, the soldier has not yet been cut off at that time, has not yet died, so for reasons of humanity and humane, they would all be rescued and resuscitated.

But Japan in World War II did things to their wounded that had no bounds.

In fact, when World War II first broke out, and Japan was not caught in a two-front war and had plenty of resources, they treated their wounded very humanely and dutifully. According to the mouth of a surviving Japanese veteran of World War II, we can learn that at that time the resources of the Japanese army is still relatively good, in the army with the wounded, they will be concentrated in the better conditions of the hospital, and then special escort and consultation, in the period of recuperation, they are also able to eat the local hometown of the more authentic food, but also be able to drink the coveted sake, and even be able to soak in the hot springs, looking for military prostitutes.

From this we can see that when Japan was not yet mired in a two-front war, their wounded were in very good hands. But as Japan's ambitions became more and more inflated, as they wanted to take them by surprise, to stabilize their hegemony in the Pacific Ocean, they took the risk of launching a war against the United States, which not only increased the country's military spending, but also increased the burden on the lives of the people at home. It was also at that time that Japan treated the wounded differently.

They called this arrangement resource resourcing. If it was a Japanese officer who was wounded, they would give the limited medical resources to the officer, if the wounded person was an enlisted man, he would not have that.

With the lack of resources and the tense situation, Japan resorted to brutal treatment of soldiers who were already seriously injured or sick.

Because some of the wounded had already lost the most basic ability to attack, there is no more so-called combat power, coupled with medical conditions do not allow, which aggravates the Japanese army's ability to maneuver and combat. In order to be able to solve such a situation, the Japanese army would let these people perform harakiri, thus dying to save a certain amount of resource consumption.

Because in Japan, they believed that the soul of a person is in the abdomen, so killing oneself by harakiri is actually a practice to release the soul and another meaning of returning.

Besides harakiri, for those who are already seriously wounded, commanders would also order these people to form a death squad, and then charge into the local camps carrying explosives on their bodies, thus inflicting a destructive blow on the enemy to a certain extent.

We needn't be surprised that Japan did this, because it was precisely this method that Japan utilized in its Pacific War against the United States to slowly reverse the disadvantage it was in at the time.

This way for the Japanese army at that time, I think it is a very humane method, after all, neither let them commit hara-kiri, nor let them become human bombs, just in order to improve the army's fighting ability, as well as the ability to maneuver will be left behind, let them fend for themselves.

In fact, the Japanese army in the late resource constraints, not only in their medical system, but also in their military canned goods. Maybe his family has heard of ? Japanese canned beef? This terrier, this is because at that time, Japan's resources in all aspects no longer support them to continue to produce authentic canned beef, in order to be able to make the soldiers eat well, they use cattle blood and flour mix.

In summary, the way Japan dealt with its casualty soldiers in the later period were: hara-kiri, human bombs and self destruction.
