On November 3, 1936, at the Chaoyang Gate in Beiping, an 11-year-old girl met the Japanese troops stationed in Tun who had returned from the exercise, and she stood on the side of the road shouting: "Down with the Japanese imperialism!" ”
The brother who was traveling with the little girl, worried that this would annoy the Japanese army, grabbed his sister's hand and ran. But how could the murderous Japanese army easily let them run away? Captured the little girl, despite her desperate struggle, pressed her under the tracks of the tank...
This is the real scene recorded by the newspaper that year.
It turned out that in October 1936, the Japanese-Kou Chinese garrison held a large autumn exercise in Beiping in an attempt to show off force and threaten the military and civilians in North China. In Beiping City, the Japanese army conducted exercises with civilian houses, public buildings, and a large number of civilians as imaginary enemies, and the streets from Chaoyangmen to Dongjiaomin Lane were crushed by Japanese tanks, and the people dared not speak out.
On November 3, when the Japanese troops stationed in Tuntun entered the Chaoyang Gate, there was a local girl surnamed Zhu, who was only 11 years old, and it happened that she and his brother also passed by there, and when they saw the Japanese army flaunting their military strength, they were very indignant, and she bravely and bitterly shouted the slogan of "Down with Japanese imperialism."
Her brother listened, afraid of causing trouble, and wanted to run away with her.
But the murderous Japanese soldier snatched the 11-year-old girl from her brother's hands and threw her under the tracks of the tank car, crushing her into a meat paste!
People on the side of the road, seeing this cruel scene, although it is a temporary drinking and hating, will provoke more people to go to the battlefield of anti-Japanese resistance!
At that time, many ordinary people did not yet realize the murderous nature of the Japanese army, some still harbored a fluke mentality, and even some compatriots stood on the side of the road to meet the Japanese army with their faces and took out what they were usually reluctant to eat, but all they were waiting for was the enemy's bayonet and bullets.
The Jizhong Plain area is relatively close to Beiping City, there are many students studying in Beiping, these brutal acts of the Japanese army have reached the ears of the people in Jizhong, the fields and rivers, the wells and kangtous, and many occasions have become places where they pass on their messages.
The fathers and villagers in Jizhong may not know what a tank is, but they must know how difficult it is for a child to grow up to be 11 years old; they may not have been to Beiping City, but they must have understood that if a large stone is thrown from the city wall, people will die.
The propaganda of kangtou in the field was easily accepted by the masses. Therefore, the masses in western Hebei hated Japan very much, actively participated in the anti-Japanese struggle, and preferred to die than to be a slave to the country.
There are also some traitors who are greedy for life and afraid of death, who are ignorant of profit and righteousness, who have forgotten the root cause, and whose behavior is even more hateful.
On December 16, 1935, the students who participated in the Peking Student Movement were blocked from the city gate during the parade, and could only crash into the city gate with their flesh and blood. The military police on the city walls threw large pebbles and bricks at the students under the city.
The benevolence and righteousness of the people in Jizhong
The common people in Hebei never forgot the hatred brought by the Japanese army, but they were always able to conscientiously implement our army's policy of giving preferential treatment to prisoners.
One morning in June 1942, partisans in Jizhong captured a Japanese soldier in a crop field in the village of Mafu in Shenze County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, and although the Jizhong area had just experienced the brutal treatment of the Japanese army's "May Day Sweep", the villagers were still able to consciously implement the policy of captivity.
Many people in the military and civilian base area went to see it, and the houses and courtyards were full of people, men, women, and children.
The Japanese soldier was surrounded by sheets, showing only his head, his eyes closed, and he opened them from time to time to look.
An angry fellow shouted, "Kill him!" ”
The guerrillas said, "We will give preferential treatment to the captives, educate him, impress him, win him over." ”
The Japanese soldier did not show any expression after listening, probably because he could not understand Chinese.
A young man brought a towel to the Japanese soldier to wipe his face, and he did not move; a woman brought him a bowl of water, which he did not drink; a middle-aged man brought him a bowl of rice, and he did not eat.
At this time, an old man took a little rice out of the bowl and let the Japanese soldier watch, and he took a bite of rice first.
The Japanese soldier finally understood the meaning of his fellow countryman, drank the water first, and then began to eat again.
The onlookers all laughed, and the Japanese soldier laughed, and he moved and spoke some Japanese words that no one understood.
Later, this Japanese soldier was "reformed" by the Chinese and joined the anti-war alliance.
At that time, the people of North China were very enthusiastic about resisting Japan, and they could consciously participate in the struggle against Japan and well implement the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners.
In the words of the local people, "The people of Ji, benevolence and righteousness! ”
