In February 1942, the Japanese army massacred the town of Beiku in Wujiang County, Jiangsu Province. In that massacre, all the village cadres and some young men in the town, a total of more than 200 people were stripped naked and frozen alive by the Japanese army, or shot dead.
In the massacre of the four towns of Wujiang by the Japanese army, Zhou Zhuang was the last to attack, although on the 21st, the Japanese army also sent troops to Zhouzhuang, but because there were too few personnel, the Japanese army did not poison the local people on that day. They simply imposed martial law on Zhouzhuang and blocked traffic. It was not until the 22nd that the Japanese army entered Zhouzhuang and began to sweep and arrest people. The Japanese army killed no less than 200 people in Zhouzhuang. Most were shot and killed by a pond in Dongduli.
In the massacre of Zhouzhuang by the Japanese army, there was a young man who was very touching. According to records, on March 8, the Japanese army conducted another roundup in Zhouzhuang, arresting all the young people, and then one by one, the agents identified them as anti-Japanese soldiers. In the end, a young man named Zhang Pusheng was accused of being a soldier and was subsequently sent to the gendarmerie. It is said that Zhang Pusheng was tortured by the Japanese army that day, but in the face of the perverted Japanese Kou, he always said only one word: Zhou Zhuang's military personnel are the ones with my surname Zhang. The next day, the Japanese could not find information, so they had to kill Zhang Pusheng.
In the past twenty days, the Massacre of the Four Towns of Wujiang by the Japanese Army, in addition to what the veterans said above and introduced in the articles of the previous two days, according to the local old people's recollection, the Japanese army also carried out all kinds of heinous torture on innocent people.
For example, in Xinta, there was a girl named Sanmeizi who was running in the teahouse, and the Japanese didn't know why after they came, so they tied her to the pillar at the entrance of the teahouse, and then poured boiling water from the teahouse to her until the third sister was burned alive.
In this four-town sweep, not only the three sisters were burned to death by the Japanese army, but also a mass member of the people in Fengshi Village was thrown into a boiling cauldron of boiling water by the Japanese army and cooked alive.
However, when Gu Qiguan, Ling Luosheng, and eight other people were only asked by the Japanese who were the "Zhi na soldiers", they replied: Only the good people here did not have "Zhi Na soldiers", and they were all taken away and buried alive.
In the town of Kitaku, more than 20 people were escorted by the Japanese to an unpowered boat, let the boat drift to the center of the lake, and then the Japanese started their small gunboat to hit the boat. In an instant, more than 20 people all fell into the lake, and the relatives on the shore saw this, so they rowed a small boat to rescue them, who knew that at this time, the Japanese army set up machine guns against the people who fell into the water and the villagers who rushed to the rescue. On this day, more than 30 people were hit by the Japanese army into the bottom of the lake.
