ORIGINAL Japanese Psychological warfare leaflet aimed at Chinese troops /people. AIR DROP Flimsy paper printed both sides 18/13 cm vg. WE THINK THE TRANSLATION AS FOLLOWS BUT PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU AGREE.
No Sooner has one of us Fallen. This Japanese leaflet clearly shows the Chinese soldiers that the British see them as nothing better than shields to be used as protection against Japanese fire. A cynical dark eyed sharp featured British soldier hides behind the bodies of two dead Chinese soldiers. He lives as the soldiers are shot to pieces. The text on the front is. No sooner has one of us fallen than another enters the breach! An old fisherman soldier said. I'm like Zenfukokei, ah...Zenfukokei is a four kanji idiom, meaning climbing over the corpses of predecessors and going forward. The backyour picture is up-side-down.
The left side of the vertical line is the Japanese translation of the the first two lines of the Chinese text. I changed katakana and traditional kanji to hiragana and modern kanji, respectively.
Those who carry this leaflet are not treated as POW, but are favorably treated as patriots to build the new China. If you want, we transfer you to the Nanjing Government Army who has a high wage level, or send you back to your home town via Rangoon and Guangdong. The Chinese version has instructions how to surrender.
