Chapter 26 24. I am a rapist

As a recruit, it has been less than half a year since I landed in China, but as a grenadier, I have participated in "sweeping" operations 4 times.We not only fought wars in China, but also rushed into villages to kill cattle, pigs, chickens, and even burned down farmers' houses, farm tools, coffins, etc.Also plunder the grain and food of the peasants. The veterans also drank, played with women, gambled, etc. during the "crusade".Before I joined the army, I heard many stories from Manchurian and Shanghai returnees on the Chinese battlefield.With a curious mind, I enlisted in the army and came to China at the age of 30.During two or three "mopping up" operations, I saw with my own eyes how veterans raped women.I also stood guard at the gate for them.

For me, a young man who was born in the city and spent money to play with a woman for one night at the age of 16, and later played with many women, this undoubtedly gave me a strong sensory stimulation.I think I can do whatever I want, just like them. During the Ludong battle, I served as a soldier in the bicycle company directly under the 59th Division of the Big Bear Corps.The time of the operation was around 3 pm on a snowy day in late November 1942. According to Lieutenant Tajima's order, we soldiers scattered quietly like a group of spiders to look for our prey.Lieutenant Yamaguchi and I walked into a yard together, and walked into two rooms respectively.I walked into a house in Xitou and couldn't hear anything.I thought there was no one in the house!However, after entering the room, he unexpectedly found a woman with fair skin and delicate features in the room.I was literally taken aback!At that moment, the animal-like fire of desire immediately ignited.

When we were in China, school teachers and government officials taught us that going out to serve in the army was for the sake of Japan to eliminate bandits.But what did I do after I was sent abroad with flowers and banners?My parents and friends will never know the truth. After I came to China, I completely became a victim of the war.Relying on the sword and gun in my hand, I did all kinds of evil to the unarmed Chinese: shooting and killing the laboring peasants in the fields; burning down the houses of the common people; I jumped on the kang with my shoes on, and opened my arms to catch the woman who was desperately avoiding the corner.I saw her staring at my every move with her two terrifying eyes wide open, her whole body trembling with fright.In the dimness, I recalled the skin of the woman I saw during the day, and the woman in front of me was the one I saw during the day.When I was trying to satisfy my desires like a veteran, I suddenly heard the sound of running footsteps on the road outside the courtyard.I thought, if a squad leader or something ran in, wouldn't my desire to be a private and my recent efforts be in vain?Thinking of this, I just suppressed the burning desire and retreated from that room.

Later, fortunately, the troops decided to camp in this village.After everyone went to bed at 9 o'clock, I quietly left the barracks with a Japanese sword and a grenade.The gates of the yards of every house in the village are open.In the frighteningly silent night sky, the sound of wind blowing leaves and human footsteps can be heard from time to time.I looked back several times, always as if someone was running behind.The heartbeat in my chest was getting louder and louder. After walking through a dark road, I finally came to the door of the house I had visited during the day.When I thought of a company of our troops stationed in the village, I became more courageous.

Targeting the woman, I ran into the house like a hunting dog, and wrapped my arms around the woman like an eagle catching a chicken, and dragged her out of the corner.When I was about to commit violence in the dark, I suddenly heard the cry of a baby beside me. In order to prevent the baby's crying from spreading, I covered the baby's mouth with one hand.As the breathing was blocked, the baby twisted his head desperately, and the saliva flowed out.The woman wrenched my hand away vigorously.I grabbed the woman's clothes and dragged her down on the kang.At this time, the baby cried again.I cursed very angrily: "This hungry ghost!" Then, I covered the baby's mouth with one hand, and took off the woman's clothes with the other.However, the woman held the child tightly and struggled desperately, refusing to submit.

I thought, the reason why I couldn't subdue this woman was because this "little hungry ghost" was still alive, so I should get rid of him first! So, I immediately pinched the baby's neck with one hand to silence him from crying.At the same time, use the other hand to twist the wrist of the woman who is hugging the baby tightly.After I lifted the baby's body, the baby burst into tears, and the little hands like maple leaves scratched in the air.I thought, how to deal with him?Suddenly, the unique Chinese cauldron that I saw in the kitchen during the day came to my mind.

"Okay! Let's do this!" After thinking about it, I got off the kang, pushed the woman who was pulling my skirt to the ground, then grabbed the baby's calf with my hands, went to the kitchen, and put him head down into the cauldron. As soon as it was thrown in the ground, the baby let out a miserable, sharp cry, and then, the desperate howling of the mother who had lost her son was heard... I threw an innocent, live baby into scalding hot water to satisfy my animal desires! When the woman was desperately running to the pot, I stopped her and cursed, "Let me deal with it, little hungry ghost! This time I should deal with you slowly."

I kicked the woman in the waist, she hit the wall and fell on the kang again.I said arrogantly to her: "Hmph! This is the result of your refusal to tame." I said to the woman who lost her son, "You will cry for another hundred years!" When the woman angrily bit my finger with her teeth, I suddenly revealed my nature as a beast.I covered her head with a quilt and finally raped her. I invaded China's territory and killed many peace-loving, hard-working Chinese who had no grievances.Raped many Chinese women.When it comes to these bad things, I don't know shame and remorse!If the boy I threw into the hot water pot is still alive, he must be a beautiful middle school student!

The crime I've committed - taking pleasure in killing.In order to satisfy his own animal desires, innocent children were killed like cat cubs.This is poisoned by imperialist aggressive thinking.
