fact
Tani Shoufu was a fierce general of the Japanese warlords, who had joined the army in the Russo-Japanese Campaign. In the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937), he served as the commander of the Sixth Division, and in August of that year, he led his troops to China to consult the war of aggression.
(1937) In November of the same year, china lost frequent battles along the Beijing-Shanghai line, and shifted its position to defend Nanjing. The Japanese warlords, with our capital as the center of the War of Resistance, gathered their elite and ferocious units of the Sixth Division, Tanisuo, Nakajima of the Sixteenth Division, Udoshima of the Eighteenth Division, and Suematsu of the 114th Division, under the command of General Matsui Ishigen, and in the name of encountering strong resistance from our army, they carried out a planned massacre after the fall of the city without showing any retaliation.
The 6th Division, led by Gu Shoufu, served as the forward, and on the evening of December 12, 1937, the 26th year (1937), captured the Zhonghua Gate, and the vanguard troops climbed the wall with rope ladders and began to massacre. The next morning, Fu led a large army into the city, and together with Nakajima, Ushijima, Suematsu and other troops, they divided into various districts of Beijing City and carried out a large-scale massacre, followed by burning and looting.
The worst period of the Caracine Massacre was from December 12 to 21, 2006. Counting at the Zhonghua Outer Flower Temple, Pagoda Bridge, Shiguanyin, Shimonoseki Grass Shoe Mountain, etc., the captured soldiers and civilians were collectively shot by the Japanese army with machine guns and burned to destroy the corpses, including Shan Yaoting and more than 190,000 people.
In addition, there were sporadic massacres, and more than 150,000 of their bodies were buried by charitable institutions. The total number of victims reached more than 300,000.
Corpses are strewn all over the place, and they are devastated. Its cruel situation is especially not described by the pen.
For example, on the afternoon of December 15, more than 2,000 of our military and police, after being captured by the Japanese army, were sent to the Hanzhong Gate to shoot intensively with machine guns, and they were killed with bullets, and their wounded and undead were all burned alive.
At 6 p.m. on the 16th, more than 5,000 refugees gathered at the Overseas Chinese Guest House were escorted by The Japanese soldiers to Zhongshan Wharf, where they were strafed with machine guns and abandoned in the river. Only Bai Zengrong and Liang Tingfang were injured by a bullet, threw themselves into the waves, and were spared from drifting corpses.
On the night of the 18th, 57,480 soldiers and civilians who had been imprisoned in Shogunate Hill were tied up in lead wire, drove down the Shimonoseki Shoe Gorge, and also shot with machine guns.
Another example is that on December 12, the township woman Wang Xushi, on the docks outside the Zhonghua Gate, was burned by the Japanese army. On the 13th, the villager Wei Xiaoshan, because Gu Shoufu's troops set fire to the grass lane of Zhonghua Gate, rushed to the rescue and was hacked to death. On the 13th, monks Lang Jing, Long Hui, and Ni Zhenxing, Deng Gao, Deng Yuan, etc., were also slaughtered and stamped in the temple and nunnery outside the Zhonghua Gate.
On December 14, yao Jialong, a citizen, took refuge with his family at the Zhonghua Gate Dragon Bridge, and was raped and killed by the Japanese army, and the eight-year-old three-year-old daughter, because of weeping at the side, was provoked into the fire with the tip of a gun and burned alive.
From December 13 to 17, when it was freezing cold, the Japanese troops stationed outside the Zhonghua Gate ordered more than 30 villagers to enter the water to catch fish, and they froze to death. And an old man, tied to the treetops, aimed with a gun, as a target practice, and finally hit, the rope broke and fell to his death.
The two Japanese officers competed in killing, one of which killed 105 people and the other won by killing 106 people.
On December 19, the villager woman Xie Shanzhen, who was more than 60 years old, was stabbed by the Japanese army with a knife at the Dongyue Temple outside the Zhonghua Gate, and inserted a bamboo pole into the vulva, all of which were inhumane.
From December 12 to 21, innocent soldiers and civilians in our capital (Nanjing) were murdered by the Japanese army and had 886 cases (see Annexes A 1-28, B 1-858).
After the Japanese army fell to the city, they even raped everywhere and committed lust. According to the statistics of the International Committee organized by the Institute of Aliens, on December 16 and 17, 2006, more than a thousand of our women were ravaged by the Japanese army. And the bizarre and tragic way is unheard of in real history.
For example, on December 13, the woman Tao Tangshi, at No. 5 Renhouli, Zhonghua Gate, was gang-raped by the Japanese army and burned her body by dissection. Xiao Yushi, a pregnant woman who was pregnant in September, Huang Guiying, a 16-year-old girl, Chen Er, and a 63-year-old village woman, were also raped and defiled in the Zhonghuamen area. The little girl of the township, in Zhonghuamen Duicao Lane, after being gang-raped by 13 Japanese troops, screamed for help because of her invincibility, and when she was stabbed to death in the lower abdomen by a knife.
From December 13 to 17, the Japanese army was outside the Zhonghua Gate, and after gang rape of the girl, the passing monks were forced to continue sexual rape, and the monk refused to be sentenced to death.
At tuchengtou outside the Zhonghua Gate, there were three young girls who committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river in shame and anger because they were raped by the Japanese army.
All the women who stayed in Beijing (Nanjing) were in danger of running away from the safe zone delimited by the International Committee. Ignoring international justice, the Japanese army even fulfilled its animalistic desires, and every night, across the walls, regardless of the old and the young, groped for rape.
Although the foreigners, in the name of international organizations, protested heavily to the Japanese military authorities, the Japanese generalSug Shoufu and others turned a deaf ear, and the subordinates were raging at the time. In addition, the Japanese army has been fierce, burning and slaughtering are often carried out at the same time, and our capital is the target of discriminatory and terrorist policies, so the tragedy is unparalleled.
...... (The inventory of the property burned by the Japanese army is omitted here)
After Japan's surrender, Tani was arrested in Tokyo and sent to Beijing by our delegation in Japan, where he was investigated and prosecuted by the prosecutor of this court.
In this case, Chen Guangyu, the procurator of this court, performed his duties in court.
