As a tool of war, Tamura's killing of the islanders who came back to fetch salt is already unconscious and inhuman. As a so-called human being, in the end, when he witnessed Nagamatsu murder and cannibalism, he shot Nagamatsu with the last humanity he kept.
When the city of Balayan could no longer be reached, the islanders would shoot to death if they surrendered, and the soldiers had begun to eat people, Tamura's last humanity and desire to survive told himself that running to the fire of the plains was the only way out. At this time, Tamura has also understood what the fire of the plain means: the end of life, but also the last hope for preserving human nature.
