Chapter 94

What Monroe took out was an ordinary black suit even though it was hand-made.

When Duino put on the suit, his whole demeanor also changed, the solemnity and heaviness clearly showed a kind of mourning and mourning like attending a funeral.Monroe couldn't help it suddenly: "I don't feel well today, so I won't go."

"I'm not going either." Li Xintong said.

"It's time, don't make trouble." Zhao Ye frowned.

"When I was shooting the movie, I watched it like that, and I already felt stuffy. You don't know that I had nightmares almost every day. When the movie was shot, Li Guangshu almost lived in the cutting room when he edited it. Music, narration..." Monroe shuddered, "I know how good this movie is, and because I know it's good, I dare not go."

"I agree." Li Xin agreed.

But Zhao Ye's words made the two of them bite the bullet: "Then at the premiere, the two seats are vacant, or are they ours?"

"..." It's really unreasonable for my own people not to cheer for my own people.

"It's a big deal, just close your eyes and watch."

So, Monroe and Li Xin bit the bullet and followed along, but Duino separated from the three of them halfway.They don't need to walk the red carpet, and Duino is the first one in the crew to walk the red carpet.He walked slowly, pulling the director, screenwriter, and other main actors to take a group photo one by one.What other people do is to steal other people's attention. Du Yinuo does this to distribute his attention to others.

In the theater, everyone was seated. After various speeches and small interactions, the movie opened.

The first scene is a golden wave of wheat, a man is singing a nursery rhyme in Japanese: "Growing wheat, planting wheat, father bends over, mother bends back..."

Male voices are seldom described as ethereal, and generally child or female voices are described that way, but the singing voices in movies break this convention.Ethereal, clear, golden sunlight and golden wheat fields, the audience in the theater only felt the golden trickle flowing into their hearts with the singing, which was both comfortable and comfortable.

"Do you have to go to war, brother?" the girl's voice sounded.

The camera zooms in, and in the Japanese-style house on the edge of the wheat field, a young man in military uniform is sitting at the door, and a girl is lying on the floor next to him, with her head resting on his lap.

"I must go, Keiko."

"You're going to get hurt, you're going to die, and so are other people. Didn't you say you wanted to be a doctor? You've taught yourself so much."

The young man smiled and stroked Keiko's hair: "Our country is too small and lacks resources. We need more land, and the country of Hua on the other side of the sea has been ruled by ignorant and corrupt Manchus for too long. We Going to the other side of the sea is not to invade, but to help them, bring them civilization and freedom, and help yourself. This is the common prosperity of Greater East Asia. I will come back, Keiko, and I still want to see you in white Marry Wugou."

The young man finally left and bid farewell to his sister in the red kimono in the fairytale-like wheat field hut.

He entered the army and was the youngest in the team, but he trained well, and the other veterans took good care of him.Opposite him is Iguchi Shiro, who is the thinnest in the team and wears a pair of glasses. Iguchi is always insulted by others. The protagonist Hase Haruoka does not defend him in front of others, but will give him medicine in private.

Jingguchi cried to Hase Haruoka that he didn't want to go to the battlefield, but the call-up order was issued, his father had leg problems, his mother was in poor health, and his younger siblings were too young.

But on the second day, they boarded the troop carrier, and not long after disembarking, they went to the battlefield.

The movie truly reproduced the scene of Japan's Long live charge during World War II. With a cry of "Onboard!", soldiers held bayonets flashing with cold light, and rushed to the enemy's line amidst the sound of roaring artillery fire!The roar of the guns and the screams of the soldiers made people's blood boil, but their chests felt cold.

At the same time, everyone felt weird.How does this rhythm look like a movie praising the invaders, isn't it?

Amidst the doubts and whispers of the audience, the first turning point in the movie appeared.

Changgu Chungang, who was holding a [-]-piece cover, captured a Chinese soldier.The other party was already very old, with gray hair all over his head, wrinkles on his distressed and panicked face, and calluses on his raised hands.

Hase Haruoka looked puzzled, he wanted to ask something, but there was a gunshot beside him, and the surrendered veteran fell down.

A squad leader limped over, turned over the other side with the toe of his shoe, and shot the twitching veteran right in the head, causing the skull and brains to splash on the ground.

"Baga! Why did you stop!"

"He surrendered..." Just now he was confused, but now Hase Haruoka is in a daze.

"Baga!" The team leader slapped Hase Haruoka twice, "Continue to attack!"

"Hi!"

Hase Haruka chased his team with a gun, and along the way he saw more dead people, soldiers and... civilians.Hase Haruka began to feel panic, and Hase Haruka, who did not frown at the sight of the enemy's bayonet, was obviously not out of fear, he just didn't understand.

At the end of the night of the battle, Hase Haruoka asked the sergeant he had always respected: "Why did you kill civilians?"

"We are here to kill people." Sergeant Cao replied.

"We are soldiers, and it is our duty to kill the enemy's soldiers on the battlefield, but killing civilians is not in line with the giri of a warrior and samurai."

Sergeant Cao laughed and patted Hase Haruoka on the shoulder: "Isn't we killing the opponent's soldiers in the final analysis to kill the opponent's civilians more easily? Of course, if those civilians will not resist when we rob, We'll still be able to survive...maybe?"

Hase Haruoka was shocked. He was a young man with ideals and beliefs, but reality gave him a slap. However, this was only the lightest slap in his life.

In the next fight, he was wounded as he watched a man with a broken leg fall under the tracks of a tank with a pack of explosives, his mind distracted by the heroic death.

Lying in the hospital, Hase Haruoka's expression no longer had the indomitable purity at the beginning, and he began to doubt.

When Hase Haruoka recovered and returned to the team, he was welcomed by everyone. The food that day included a roast chicken.

Hase Haruka was surprised to ask where the food came from, because they miscalculated the time to occupy Huaguo, and their logistics have been unable to keep up recently.Sergeant Cao proudly told him that this was the result of local food collection.

Hase Haruoka paused his hand. He said he had just come back from the hospital and was not too hungry, and left the barracks.Found a corner and started throwing up.

The cowardly Jingguchi followed, and Hase Haruoka asked, "Is collecting food on the spot a robbery?"

Iguchi: "Yes."

Hase Haruka was silent.

Because someone died in the team, another recruit was recruited, and the sergeant happily took everyone to watch the recruit practice the target.

The target was a living person, a pregnant woman with a disheveled belly.

The recruits listened carefully to the sergeant's instructions and "technical explanations" and kept saying "Hi! Hi! Hi!" When the sergeant said "Start!", the recruits raised their guns without hesitation and plunged into the pregnant woman. Hase Haruoka's gun picked up the opponent's bayonet at this time.

"Hase Haruoka? What are you doing?"

"That's a pregnant woman! What are you doing?!"

"Of course it is to train the recruits' courage and tell him what a soldier should do."

"A soldier's guts is to raise his bayonet against the enemy! Not a civilian! Pregnant women!"

"You are a coward!" Sergeant Cao slapped him and pushed him away, and other colleagues also surrounded Hase Haruka. They cursed loudly, their faces were congested with blood and veins, but at the same time they cried bitterly.

"I knew you looked down on us!"

"Coward! Coward! Self-righteous bastard!"

Facing the fists and kicks of his comrades in arms, Hase Haruoka did not resist, he just protected his head and let them scold him.The recruit stood by the side in a daze, not knowing what to do.Jingkou hid in the corner of the barracks, holding his head, not daring to move.

The pushing and shoving began to escalate without knowing it, and everyone started punching and kicking Hase Haruoka without knowing who stretched out his fist first.This is an ugly fight scene. There is no exciting chase, no special effects, only scenes of chaos and commotion, men's hideous faces, and screams.

But all the audience watched, the theater was silent, they understood, not "understood" why those soldiers did what they did, but "understood" why such things happened.The country that launched the war has distorted the humanity of its citizens.

These soldiers are looking for ways to vent, facing the enemy, the people of the enemy country, and compatriots who hold different opinions.

Hase Haruka was beaten to the ground, and the sergeant's big feet stepped on his back.

"You! Execute the order!" The sergeant shouted to the recruits.

Before the recruit could react, the silent Hase Haruoka struggled fiercely: "No! No!" Before that, he probably thought that being beaten up would save the poor woman's life, right?

What he got from the struggle was fierce kicks from his comrades regardless of severity, blood flowed from his forehead, and his vision began to turn blood red.

"Ah? Hi!" The recruit raised his gun and stabbed the pregnant woman with a bayonet.

The eyes of the pregnant woman have always been numb, but when she faced the incision that was close at hand, her eyes lit up, but she was tightly bound to the pillar, and all she could do was move her body, not more than an inch or two difference, at least...at least the bayonet didn't stick to her child...

Hase Haruka let out a long and shrill scream, which is not enough to describe it even if it is heart-piercing.

"God! God!" Even if the skin color is different, even though many people are extremely vague about the history that happened in Asia, it doesn't mean that people can't feel the pain.

Some older men began to swallow first-aid medicine, and women held tightly to the hands of their male companions.From every row came the sound of weeping.Some people with poor tolerance had the idea of ​​leaving, but they could only sit where they were due to politeness.Others closed their eyes, bowed their heads, and began to pray silently.

Hase Haruoka was completely isolated by his colleagues in the team. He did the dirtiest and tiring work in the team, and it was accompanied by insults from his comrades.Hase Haruoka, who used to love to laugh and be gentle, became silent. He was doing all the assigned tasks without saying a word.Only the mouth of the well would quietly stuff him with some food.

"Hase Haruka, are you homesick for being so silent?! Come on, I'll take you to the place where you can find the taste of home." One day, Juncao suddenly became the good man who took care of Hase Haruka as his younger brother.The other soldiers followed suit, and they half-forced Hase Haruo to leave the barracks.

A place that used to be a certain ancestral hall, now there are many Japanese soldiers waiting anxiously in line at the door.

"Comfort station?" Hase Haruoka looked at the sign hanging at the door, and his dull and cold face became gentler, "It is said that it is a place where female students from China sing and dance for soldiers?"

His gentle black eyes made all the audience watching the movie screen realize that this young soldier must have thought of his sister in his hometown, the beautiful girl in the red dress.

Sergeant Cao and the other soldiers laughed, their laughter and eyes were in stark contrast to Hase Haruoka's clear gaze.

Adults all know what this kind of smile means, and those who understand this kind of meaning feel as if their hearts are roughly clenched by both hands.

Not knowing what the Sergeant Cao and the other soldiers said, they were able to jump in line.

"The programs here are full of hometown flavor!" Jun Cao led him into a row of rooms.

There were no programs in that place at all, it looked like the lowest girls' branch, the girls who had no "guests" were just wrapped in thin quilts.

Hase Haruka's expression became more and more bitter. He realized that the country had once again lied to him and many people. He turned around to leave, but the Sergeant stopped him.

"Keiko! Keiko are you there?! Ah! Keiko are you here! Why are you hiding?"

"!"

Sergeant Cao violently tore away the quilt of a girl who covered her head and face, and the girl let out a scream.

Hase Haruoka's eyes widened instantly, it was his sister!He should have been waiting for him to go back in his hometown, waiting to put on Bai Wugou as the younger sister who was married as the most beautiful bride.

It was the first time Hase Haruka hit Sergeant, he hugged his sister and wanted to take her away, but Sergeant and other soldiers who were knocked to the ground surrounded him and pulled him out.Keiko sat there, watching her brother leave, and smiled: "Goodbye, brother..."

There was thunder outside, and the rain poured down.

Hase Haruka was standing guard, and the heavy rain drenched him, but two fires ignited in his eyes.

He sneaked out of his post and ran to the comfort station in the heavy rain. Even in this horrible weather, the place was still full of people.

A girl was carried out wrapped in a single hastily, and Hase Haruoka was stunned with an anxious face. It was only a few hours of separation, and her sister had turned into a cold corpse. Fading quickly in the heavy rain...

As soon as the movie camera turned, it began to insert sections of old films of real history.

On December 1937, 12, the Nanjing Defense War broke out, and under the mottled city walls, new blood was added.

Hase Haruoka also joined in several charges. Obviously, his muzzle was pointing upwards, and his expression was gray and indifferent. At this time, he no longer had the youthfulness of a student at the beginning. He was a man, a man who was suppressed by reality. Out of breath man.

At the same time, the camera also began to describe the Chinese soldiers and some citizens in Nanjing.

During the Nanjing Defense War, the civilian army lost its air supremacy early on. There were almost no air defense weapons, and there was a serious shortage of heavy weapons.Even the supply of light weapons cannot meet the needs of soldiers. Sometimes the guns sent up are wooden guns and the bullets are wooden bullets.

The most reliable weapon for soldiers is their own flesh and blood.

The land of the capital is at your feet, and your compatriots and family members are right behind you. There is nowhere to retreat, and there is no way to retreat.

One inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people and one hundred thousand soldiers.

Without legs, you can still hold a gun.Even though he was blind, he could still pass bullets to his brothers.Both arms are useless, and there are still teeth capable of biting grenades.

"My injury is not serious, I can still fight."

"I'm hurt too badly, don't worry about me, let me die as a devil at least enough."

The Kuomintang soldier Zhao Er played by Xue Qi is one of the thousands of soldiers who fought bloody battles.

As for the people in the city...

"Father, someone knocked on the door again today."

"Don't worry about it, a group of Qiu Ba! Good men don't serve as soldiers, but they don't nail nails. The ones outside are called... cannon fodder! You are looking for death! Are you ready for everything I asked you to prepare?"

"Father, is it...is it bad to do this?"

"What's wrong, we just write about the common people, eat cold and pay taxes, no matter whose banner is planted on the top of the city, it is not the same in the final analysis."

Tens of thousands of soldiers died in the defense of Nanjing. Eleven active generals died in the country. Including posthumous posthumous ones, a total of [-] major generals and above officers were sacrificed.

But some sacrificed, and some were cowardly. Tang Shengzhi, the Nanjing garrison commander who originally said that he would live and die with the city, fled in a small boat on the afternoon of the 12th, and the evacuation order left by him before leaving was also vague.

With him as an "example", a large number of senior military officers began to flee Nanjing while the frontline soldiers were still fighting with fire.

It will be the courage of the soldiers, the retreat of senior officers, some militiamen were ordered to retreat, and the other part of the army that was still fighting bloody began to waver and be at a loss.More soldiers chose to retreat, but due to lack of organization and cooperation with each other, the retreat turned into a collapse.When the soldiers who managed to escape to the river discovered that there were not enough boats to cross the river, the collapse further turned into chaos.

Although some senior military officers chose to advance and retreat with the soldiers when they were in danger, they were only a very small number and could not turn the tide.

"Damn Commander!" the audience cursed, with tears in their eyes.

No one can blame these soldiers. They have done what ordinary people cannot do. If the command can be kept open and the manpower arranged for cover, the situation will not be so chaotic.If it weren't for the high-ranking commanders who shouted the resounding slogan of living and dying with the city, driving away all the ships along the river, and not preparing enough retreating ships, the soldiers would not be faced with a desperate situation.

And the Japanese army... entered the city.

Among the citizens, the father and son went out holding the Japanese national flag and two jars of wine.

"At the beginning, when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, our ancestors avoided the disaster of beheading by taking the lead in laboring. Now that the Japanese enter the city, it is no different from the Qing Dynasty."

The son listened to his father obediently, nodding from time to time.

Surprisingly, there are many people beside them, doing the same thing as them.

The boots of the invaders stepped on the ancient road. Before the father and son could reach the place, there was a commotion in front of them, and people started screaming and fleeing.But the father pulled his son to kneel on the side of the road with a determined face, each holding a wine bowl and raising it above his head.

The Japanese ran up to him holding a knife. The father was calm and determined, and the son was honest and dull.But the Japanese didn't stop, they raised their knives, and when the father and son finally showed panic on their faces, it was already too late.

The bowl shattered on the ground, and the clear wine was stained red with blood.

When the father and son died, they were still kneeling on the ground.

More Japanese are coming to the city...

Hase Haruoka was also one of them, but their team entered the city relatively late, and they were only assigned to small places that were "no oil and water".

As an isolated member, Hase Haruoka can only "enjoy the fruits of victory" after finishing the chores.He put on his gun and walked into the burning city alone.

He helped a pair of young girls who were hiding in a rice vat get away with a fool, bandaged a wounded soldier from the Democratic Party and dragged him into a pile of dead people to hide, pretending he didn't see anyone who ran past him.

Hase Haruoka, who is hanging around, people look at him, and what they see in his eyes is not atonement, but death.

He hoped that the little brother could stab him to death with a single knife, that the wounded soldiers could open their eyes and shoot him to death, and that those who fled in a hurry could pick up bricks and shoot him to death, but they didn't.

He found his fellow team members, Jingguchi and another person "standing guard" at the door.He stabbed another comrade to death in front of Jingkou.Iguchi looked at him, and silently stepped aside to open the door.In the small courtyard, the hostess was already lying in a pool of blood, and the sergeant was venting his debts on the hostess.

"Wait a minute! I'm not done yet!" Sergeant Cao heard the movement, but didn't turn his head.

Hase Haruka turned the gun around, grabbed the head of the gun, swung the butt of the gun and hit the sergeant on the back of the head.

The sergeant fell to the ground, but Hase Haruka didn't stop, still holding the gun, and hit the sergeant's head with the butt of the gun.The sound of the hit changed from a simple dull sound to a splash of liquid.

The woman huddled in the corner clutching her broken clothes. Hase Haruo took off the bayonet from the muzzle of the gun. He knelt on the ground and handed both hands to the other party: "Please... pack..."

The woman hesitated, took the knife, and said, "Thank you."

Hase Haruoka walked out of the courtyard, just as Iguchi hid his colleague's body: "Hase-kun, how are you doing?"

Hase Haruo blinked and tears flowed: "She said 'thank you'"

"what?"

"She followed me! I, the aggressor, said 'thank you'...I even thought I was doing it justice." His tears flowed harder, and when he wiped them with his hands, there were a few more red lines on his cheeks Mark of.He cried and laughed, his eyes full of pain.

At the same time, Zhao Er, who was carrying a seriously injured comrade-in-arms, chose to surrender in desperation.

After accepting his surrender, the Japanese soldiers shot and killed Ma Dezi who had been carried away by Zhao Er—a skinny boy who looked about [-] or [-] years old.Zhao Er frantically wanted to resist, but a gun butt knocked him out.

When he woke up again, he was with many other prisoners. The wire went through his palm. When he moved, the pain made him sweat like soybeans, and the other prisoners were the same as him.Being bound like this, there is no way to resist.

The sergeant and some soldiers disappeared, but the higher-ups did not track them down because there were many soldiers who did not return to camp at night during this period.

What they are doing, the superiors think they know it well, and this is what they expected.

What Hase Haruoka did, only he knew.Jingguchi originally wanted to be with him, but Hase Haruoka refused, not because he didn't trust him, but because Jingguchi still had family members.But Jingguchi still carefully helped him, such as sentry and so on.

Two senior Japanese generals were discussing military affairs, and one of the middle-aged men asked the other younger one after his depression: "His Royal Highness, do we... want to restrain the soldiers?"

"Why restraint?"

"Too many people were killed..."

"Aren't there still many Chinese people still alive?"

"but……"

"No but! Although many people were killed, there are more Hua people alive! We want to show them the fate of resisting the Great Sun Empire!"

"Hi!"

Hase Haruka and the others got a new order, and they began to drive some captured ordinary people to dig pits.

At first, no one realized what the pit was for. Even the Japanese soldiers thought it was used to bury the dead.After many days of massacre, the whole city smelled of blood and carrion.

Hase Haruka didn't understand why those compatriots were still having a carnival.No, he hadn't understood why those compatriots were like this since a long time ago.

"We won't win," Hase Haruoka said to Iguchi.

"I, I don't know." Iguchi replied guiltily, "Even... even though many things have happened, I still look forward to the country's victory."

Hase Haruoka smiled: "I understand, who doesn't want their country to be good? But it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be..."

After digging the pit for half a day, the order changed to let them drive a large number of captives to the place where the pit was dug.

If you don't understand what's going on at this time, you are a fool.

The common people and the captives were tied into a ball, and they felt that something was wrong and they couldn't escape if they wanted to escape. Even if it was a delay, they would be beaten and scolded at least, or shot to death on the spot.

When they got to the edge of the big pit, they first stabbed with a bayonet and then kicked into the pit.The pit was quickly piled up and crowded with people, and then the Japanese soldiers smiled and began to fill the soil. After filling, the soldiers not only carried out the order, but also went to the pit willingly, laughing and trampling the land.

Hase Haruo and Iguchi looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had done something.

At night, Hase Haruka secretly left the camp.

He found the big pit and started digging. The person who was dug out first looked at the other person in surprise, but he had a pulse... He gritted his teeth and continued digging.The next person was Zhao Er, and several other prisoners of war who were still angry.

He pulled out the wire from Zhao Er's second hand, and when he was cleaning the mud from the mouth and nose of the second man, Zhao Er woke up and saw Hase Haruoka's yellow military uniform when he turned his head.

"Little Japan! Fuck your ancestor!" Zhao Er turned over and rushed forward, pinching Hase Haruoka's neck with both hands.

Hase Haruka moved a bit, his hand was already on the gun, but he chose not to resist.

"Zhao...Brother Zhao...cough cough cough! This little devil saved us." The second person who recovered was more sober than Zhao Er.

"Who?!" Japanese rang out not far away. There were actually Japanese soldiers here, and Zhao Er's movement was too loud just now.

"Quick week..." Hase Haruoka said.

Zhao Er hesitated for a moment, and was pulled away by other companions who came over slowly.

Hase Haruka, on the other hand, sat quietly on the spot, waiting.

In the dark, he sat beside the dug pit, or rather, he sat beside countless graves, and began to hum the children's song at the beginning of the movie: "Sow wheat, plant wheat, father bends down, mother bends back ..."

The Japanese soldiers who heard the movement relaxed after hearing the singing, but when they saw the dug hole, they were surprised: "Someone ran away?"

Hase Haruka shook his head: "I let you go."

"What?" The leading soldier pulled him up by his collar, "Why did you do that?"

"Because I don't want to be a beast! Hahahahahaha!"

"Bastard! Traitor! Are you still a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire?!"

The soldiers surrounding Hase Haruka were furious. They obviously didn't understand why a compatriot would do such a thing.

The punching and kicking began. The killing during this period completely released their animal nature, and these people did not hold back at all.

But Hase Haruoka, he kept his eyes closed and was smiling... kept laughing...

When these soldiers felt something was wrong and stopped, it was too late.

"He...he's dead!"

"Tell the superior that he was killed by a group of escaped prisoners of war!" The leading soldier was also taken aback.

"Hi!"

They dragged Hase Haruoka away, not far away, behind a tree, Mitsui was crying: "Chang, Hase Haruoo...I don't want...to be a beast..."

And several Chinese soldiers swam to a sandbar in the middle of the river at night: "Cross the river! Find a team! Kill the devils!"

With blood all over his face, Hase Haruoka, who was already dead, had a peaceful expression as if he was sleeping soundly.

The nursery rhymes sounded again, but this time the soundtrack turned into the sound of guns and guns, and the movie turned into old black and white photos and films. In the end...

On the old black and white photo, a line of bright red characters appeared: On September 1945, 9, the Japanese government signed the surrender document, and September 2 was designated by the Chinese government as the Victory Day of the Anti-Japanese War.

End of the play.

When the movie was over, there was no applause in the theater, and many people felt as if they had just gone through a long long-distance run, exhausted and unable to move at all.

This is a torment for the crew of "Invasion Without Justice".They know the movie is good, and judging by the performance of others, it is.But in the end, let's give a quasi-word!

Finally, someone applauded.One person, two people, more and more people, the applause became more and more enthusiastic, almost blowing off the roof!

As for the film critics, they were overwhelmingly applauded.

[Let's watch "Aggression Without Justice", there are no big muscular heroes, but there are real humanity. 】

[For the torture of the soul... God, I can't write a movie review at all, because I want to cry when I think about the movie. 】

[Some executioners who have experienced World War II exonerated themselves like this, "I am just executing the order", but do those who execute the order really not know whether they are right or wrong?They know that they just continue to implement it, and this is the ugliness of human nature. "Invasion Without Justice" shows us a man who tries his best to maintain his humanity... mortals are helpless among a group of wild beasts, and his humanity can only cause tragedy.However, if there were more such people, there would be fewer tragedies in the world. 】
