In early February 1946, more than 400 Japanese female nurses, who had announced their unconditional surrender, suddenly raised their scalpels late one night and brutally killed all the seriously wounded members of the Eighth Route Army, who were already under anesthesia.
In 1945, under the direct intervention of the nuclear force of the US atomic bomb, Japan, which had committed many evils in China for 14 years and brought serious property and security losses to the country and the people, officially declared its unconditional defeat and surrender, and the combat troops completely withdrew from China.
On August 8, hundreds of thousands of Red Army troops of the Soviet Union marched south, suddenly declared war on Japan in northeast China, and from the east and west directions, carried out a centripetal assault on Changchun and Shenyang, in an attempt to crush the remaining strength of the Kwantung Army in one fell swoop and quickly end the war, which is the famous "August Storm Operation" in history.
The battle annihilated more than 677,000 Japanese prisoners, accelerated the total collapse of Japan, and also played a crucial role in the final victory of the Chinese War of Resistance.
After the war, the Soviet Union transferred more than 500,000 Japanese prisoners to Siberia as laborers and carried out ideological education in labor reform, but because of insufficient transportation capacity, more than 70,000 Japanese prisoners were temporarily left in Tonghua in the northeast and handed over to the 100,000 Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army that advanced into the northeast.
After our army received these Japanese prisoners with full authority, all the male prisoners were driven to work as laborers, and the northeast rear base was developed and built, and more than 400 female prisoners who understood medicine were all placed in hospitals.
The labor camps where japanese male prisoners work daily have implemented a strict army management system, so they are very peaceful and self-contained, but because female prisoners work in hospitals, supervision and management are not strict, which leaves an operational opportunity for secretly hidden nationalist agents and Japanese agents to plot and instigate riots.
On February 2, 1946, the conspiracy of the Japanese army and the Nationalist army was discovered by our army, but only more than 500 people of the Korean volunteer army remained in Tonghua City that day, so it was inevitable that the night would be long and dreamy, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army immediately decided to carry out the decapitation operation.
Sun Gengyao, the chief agent of the operations commander of the riot command, and others were captured, and then fortifications were built at various fortress passes in the city.
However, the Japanese, who were not willing to accept defeat, quickly seized the major strongholds in Tonghua County late the next night, armed with sticks, sabers and guns, and cut off water and electricity in the city.
Because the enemy was outnumbered, there were only a few Eighth Route Army and a Hundred Korean Volunteer Army in the city, but the remaining secret agents of the Japanese army and the Nationalist army reached a huge number of thousands, and as soon as the two sides exchanged fire, our army was forced to retreat.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, the Japanese female nurses who were treating the wounded in the field hospital seemed to hear the order, suspended the movements in their hands, and then used the scalpels and surgical scissors and other tools that had been prepared, under the crazy shouts of the Japanese special agent female nurse He Ye Hiroshi, more than 400 nurses divided into three combat teams, holding aloft scalpels and brutally killing all 150 seriously injured members of the Eighth Route Army who had been deeply anesthetized.
After the matter was completed, they prepared to rush to other areas under the command of He YeBoxiong, and at the critical moment, the commander of the Korean Volunteer Army Battalion, Ko Young-seok, led his troops to arrive in time, and after seeing the blurred blood and flesh in the ward, their eyes were broken, and they immediately ordered: Full fire and machine gun strafing.
In the fierce tongue of fire of the machine gun, the Japanese female agent Hayao Kono and a large number of Japanese female nurses who committed the bloody crime fell in a pool of blood in an instant, and only a very few people survived, screaming and desperately fleeing.
Commander Gao Yingxi immediately gave the order to pursue, go all out to arrest the real culprit, eliminate the evil, and spare no one, and must avenge the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were unfortunately killed!
Soon, Ishiichi Matsukura, director of medicinal materials in charge of the field hospital, Masaaki Randa, director of surgery, Toshio Hirai, director of internal medicine, Setomi Kameda, medical director, Masayoshi Kada, accountants Cao Changping and He Maosong, and head nurse Asao Fujimoto were all arrested and arrested by our army.
This Tonghua rebellion, launched by the Japanese prisoners, was doomed to fail, but they were not willing to be caught, and under the organization of the Nationalist army and Japanese secret agents, more than a thousand troops immediately began to march towards the camp of our Eighth Route Army.
At this time, the Tonghua detachment, which received the news, rushed to the battlefield without stopping, dozens of machine guns were erected, and they fiercely strafed at the Japanese agents, and one grenade after another was thrown out without a life, deafening, and rolled up the dust and sand.
The Japanese agents, who had only a few dozen guns and a machine gun, were immediately beaten up and down, crying wolf, and under the powerful firepower of our army, the rioters suffered heavy casualties and quickly collapsed.
After the riot led by 400 female nurses of the Japanese army was put down, after strict statistics, a total of more than 1,000 Japanese male and female prisoners and rioters were annihilated that night, more than 20 Nationalist troops and Japanese secret agents who organized and launched the riot, all of whom were shot and executed according to law.
