On March 1, 1938, Japan's Asahi Shimbun published a set of albums entitled "The Complete Photographs of the Indochina Incident", in which a group of photographs of the Japanese army whitewashing Taiping after the Nanjing Massacre were published in the "Shanghai Front" sub-volume. It is also brazenly named "Jiangnan that is recovering in peace", and today "Love History" will pick out these photos and translate the notes made by the Japanese army to let everyone see the shamelessness of the Japanese army. (In the city of Nanjing after the war, peasants carrying the Japanese flag began to work outside the city in the early spring))
The following three photos of the Japanese army form a shameless introduction called "Peach Blossom Garden Under the Smoke of Gunfire". In the photo, the Japanese army said that "the smoke of the war has not yet ended, and the village of Shengjiaqiao in Baoshan County on the Yangtze River is beginning to recover under the protection of Japanese soldiers." (This photo has also been accused by many media of being taken by the Japanese army to collectively escort the Chinese women to humiliation after they were captured, but in fact, this is indeed a show photo taken by the Japanese army to promote the "discipline" and "friendliness" of the Japanese army, and the woman in the photo is not afraid after being forcibly taken away))
The commander of the Tian Yu Zhongsi unit strictly ordered the Japanese soldiers not to enter casually, and he also became the village chief in the hearts of the local people. Because of the protection of the imperial army, about 400 local people lived a happy life. Old people, children picking together in the cotton fields."
