In 1945, the Japanese girl carried a white flag to the U.S. military, and more than 40 years later told the real surrender process
Introduction: In April 1945, the U.S. military launched the Battle of Okinawa. The U.S. army sent 100,000 troops to land on Okinawa, and the Japanese army resolutely resisted and returned fire. The two sides fought for more than two months, and finally the Americans won the victory. However, the US military lost more than 70,000 people, and this result disappointed the world. The Americans had to re-examine the methods of occupying the Japanese island, and the U.S. military leadership was even more worried. The Battle of Okinawa was extremely brutal, and the Japanese launched a suicide attack, using bunkers, caves and other barriers to fight desperately with the American army.
Although the Japanese army was small in numbers, they successfully blocked the American army. The Americans continued to increase their troops, which was able to reverse the decline. After the defeat of the Japanese army, they desperately chose to commit suicide. However, before the Japanese committed suicide, they forced the residents of Okinawa to fight against the Americans. The Okinawa islanders were reluctant and were slaughtered one by one. At this time, a Japanese girl appeared in the eyes of the American soldiers, she was waving a white flag, and her eyes were sad. In order to save her parents, she took the initiative to ask American soldiers for help. The U.S. military rushed forward and finally saved the little girl and her parents.
As the war continued, Japan's young adults had already suffered heavy losses, and a large number of women took up guns to fight. In order to reduce the casualties of the Us army, but also not to affect the ordinary Japanese people. The Americans decided to use other methods to attack the Japanese government. Soon after, the Americans detonated an atomic bomb in the texas desert, and the huge power directly shocked the world. In August 1945, American pilot Paul flew over Hiroshima and dropped an atomic bomb. The Japanese were completely stunned by America's terrible weapons of destruction. The Japanese government had no choice but to surrender.
Time passed quietly, and 40 years passed in a flash. That little girl had grown up. The little girl' name is Higa Tomiko, and she grew up to be a nurse and married a teacher. One day, Higa Tomiko's husband found a picture of her childhood in a bookstore and asked her curiously about her past. Higa Tomiko sighed, and she slowly recalled. At that time, the battle was fierce, and the Japanese soldiers were already in a crazy situation, forcing their parents to go to their deaths. Tomiko Higa was so helpless that she waved a white flag and asked the U.S. army for help. In the end, the American army was really ushered in, and the Japanese soldiers were defeated.
Conclusion: In 1987, Higa Tomiko officially retired from the unit where she worked. She decided to tell the world what she had experienced, so she published her memoirs. The U.S. troops involved in the Battle of Okinawa were so excited that they rushed to meet with Kafuko. When the past was brought up again, everyone's eyes were moist. Everyone in war is a weak person, and they are eager for a glimmer of life. If Higa Tomiko had not taken the initiative to ask for help, she and her parents would have become victims long ago.
