This is a series of tragic cases committed by the Japanese in 1942 in Yunfeng Township, Laiwu County, Shandong Province.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yunfeng Township in Laiwu County was part of the anti-Japanese base area in Taishan District, and on August 29, 1942, the Japanese Kou dispatched a large number of Japanese puppet troops from many strongholds in Tai'an and Laiwu Counties, as well as reinforcements from Jinan and Tai'an, totaling more than 6,000 people to sweep the Lotus Mountains, and the focus of this sweep was Yunfeng Township.
Rikou vainly tried to eliminate the Xinpu County organs in one fell swoop, but because the organs were transferred, the enemy pounced, so he opened a knife to the villagers in Yunfeng Township.
At dawn, after a barrage of gunfire and frantic artillery fire, the Japanese invaded the villages and forcibly gathered the villagers. At Sunjiazhuang, Rikou drove the men, women, and children who had not yet escaped to the empty field in the middle of the village. The traitor interpreter began to shout at the prompting of the officers of the Japanese Kou Army, saying that Sun Jiazhuang was the nest of the anti-Japanese army, asking where the anti-Japanese officers and soldiers were hiding, and threatening to kill the whole village if they did not say anything.
However, no one answered the traitor's shout, and after waiting for a while, the traitor's interpreter howled again, but the crowd was still silent, and the translator was embarrassed and angry, and pulled out the qi lady who was standing in front of him to ask in a loud voice, and the han traitor scolded the traitor shamelessly, and was shot and killed by the traitor.
At this time, the two old men standing in the crowd, Gu Missionary and Gu Xiaode, really couldn't look at it, so they pounced on it together and started the meat game on the same day. People took the opportunity to rush out of the encirclement and fled in all directions. Enemy machine guns rang out, and the villagers fell one by one in a pool of blood.
Then, the Japanese army broke into Li Tiaozhuang, where a barbaric massacre began, and the villager Liu Xueli was sweating in bed due to illness and was stabbed to death by the Japanese who broke into the house. Qi Yongcai's mother hid on the fence and was pulled down and beaten to death by Riko. Lü Qingfu's husband and wife and children fled, and they were all killed by machine guns. Liu Luwen fled and was shot many times. Qi Fengtai's mother, suffering from mental illness, sat obsessively on a mill plate in the village and was cut into 8 pieces by the Japanese army. A total of 23 people were killed in the village.
The masses of East and West Fengyang and Linjia Village heard the sound of gunfire in the east and fled west one after another, but they were unexpectedly blocked by the Japanese Kou in a large ditch in the East Fengyang Village, and the Japanese Kou fired wildly with machine guns at the west end of the ditch. Li Shujun, Li Shulan, Li Xirong and 20 other people were shot dead on the spot.
Li Runqiang's niece and daughter-in-law in Dongfengyang Village fled with a baby under the age of one, and both mother and son were killed by machine guns. Her sister went to the rescue, but was caught by the murderous Riko, cut off one of her hands, and fainted on the spot, until the night was rescued by the neighbors.
A 14-year-old girl in Dongfengyang Village was gang-raped to death by the beast soldiers in her home, and her father was so grief-stricken that he rushed up with a big hoe and tried to find Rikou desperately, but the enemy had already prepared, and the girl's father was stabbed to death before he could get close to the enemy.
Qi Yuanchang's mother and wife and three other women in Xifengyang Village hid in the cave of Qi Yuanchang's house, were discovered by Rikou, forced them out, and then killed one by one with machine guns. Pangjiazhuang's wife and daughter, Wu Peixiang's wife and daughter, and Qi Defa's aunt were also stabbed to death by Rikou.
The young farmer Qi Dechang, armed with a kitchen knife, fought with the Japanese Kou, and the head of the Japanese Kou was cut off. A woman in Lufanya Village, who had only been in labor for three days, was unable to flee due to her infirmity, and was also gang-raped to death by the Japanese Kou. In the millet field north of ChengJia Village, Cheng Shiran's son was killed by the enemy with a bayonet, and Cheng Shiran pounced forward and was also stabbed to death.
There is also Zhangjiazhuang Lu Anyi's mother who fled with the baby in her arms, was shot in the head and died, and the baby in her arms also died at the same time. According to incomplete statistics, at least 111 innocent people were killed by the Japanese in the 9 villages affected in this massacre.
