499 Americans became Japanese prisoners of war and wanted to rest and break their hands. What will they do if they don't want to be beaten?

1942, 499 prisoners of war were put on a Japanese prisoner of war ship, and then crossed the ocean to go to Japan's Damutian Coal Mine. These Americans are American soldiers captured by the Japanese army on the battlefield, and now they have become Japanese coal miners in a blink of an eye. I believe that China people know something about Japanese methods, so after they arrived in Japan, the Japanese didn't treat them particularly well because they were Americans. These people live in Japan without any accidents.

These prisoners of war later recalled that they were asked to board a Japanese transport ship named Nimaru, which was very shabby. At that time, an officer told them that they had to go to Japan to help the emperor. Having no choice, they had to board the ship. The space on the ship is very small, and a person can only have half a meter of space, so these people can't sleep at all. The air is full of feces.

However, it will take some time to go to Japan, but within a few days of their departure, infectious diseases broke out on a large scale and people died every day, so these people were very afraid of their future life. Finally, after a month's voyage, they finally took Japan away. After disembarking, they got on a train and arrived at the prison camp half an hour later.

There are eight people living in each room, each with a blanket. In this environment, they spent three years. This is the place to sleep. Because the mineral resources here are limited, their coal mines will be mined soon, so their job is to find the missing minerals.

They have to work twelve hours a day, but in order to mine the most coal in an effective time, they adopt a 36-hour system, which means they can change shifts every 36 hours, so many people faint or even become disabled under such work intensity. This kind of life has been very hard, but what they fear most is winter. The wind here is very cold. The point is that they don't have warm clothes. Life here is like an ice house, because they have to work an extra hour in this weather. Living like this for a long time makes them weak. It takes four people to move a stone.

19445 Japan's defeat is a foregone conclusion. In order to vent their anger, they were more rude to these prisoners of war and began to punch and kick for a little thing. In order to avoid it, Americans soak themselves in iodine solution, so that when taking X-rays, they can see black spots, which look a bit like tuberculosis. The Japanese are very afraid of this disease, so they will isolate it and they can rest. But this method is not very safe, because there are really tuberculosis patients in the prison camp.

Later, someone figured out a way to break his left hand and let him rest for two weeks. Others deliberately let the wound fester and pretend to be sick.
