For thousands of years, Chinese civilization has always been the top civilization leading the world, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was an industrial revolution in the West, and Qianlong's closed country caused the backward situation of Huaxia Wenmin, western countries bombarded the door of China with guns, and since then China has fallen into a hundred years of water and fire, although the Qing government has also sought reforms, the results of the Sino-Japanese War prove that a series of reforms of the Qing government have failed. It is precisely because of the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, Chinese civilization fell into the darkest era in thousands of years, although after the Northern Expedition to establish the Republic of China, but the Japanese have been lurking and wandering in the northeast, the situation is very unoptimistic, at this time Japan is like a tiger on the side of the Chinese bed, at any time will bite China, the facts have proved to be the same.
In the 1920s, the world fell into a serious economic crisis, which is the inevitable result of the intensification of capitalist contradictions, the United States survived the crisis through Roosevelt's New Deal, but Japan has just entered capitalism, it is not so easy to survive this crisis, this crisis in Japan quickly turned into a political crisis, if not handled properly, it will make Japan fall apart, in order to alleviate the domestic crisis, while diverting the attention of the Japanese, the Japanese government thought of aggression, Southeast Asia became Japan's primary target, through aggression, Japan can plunder a large number of resources to help Japan tide over the crisis, but for this invasion, Japan can be said to have made sufficient preparations, the Japanese government has long been militaristic brainwashing of Japan, children from elementary school began to learn how to kill the enemy on the battlefield, how to repay the emperor, and for women, instilled in the body to serve the emperor. At the same time, Japan sent a large number of agents to be active in various provinces of China, drawing up detailed military maps to prepare for the invasion of China.
China is a large land, and Japan is a small island country, want to invade China such a behemoth is not an easy thing, Japan first included Korea and other Southeast Asian countries as colonies, so that the Japanese army can directly invade China through the borders of Korea, Vietnam and other borders, but at that time the northeast is Zhang Zuolin sitting, they have tried many times to win Zhang Zuolin have been strictly rejected, so the Japanese carefully planned the Huanggutun incident, Zhang Zuolin was killed, Zhang Xueliang took over the Northeast Army, the Japanese army felt that the opportunity came, Therefore, he deliberately destroyed a section of the wicker railway and framed the Chinese army for sabotaging and provoking the incident, which is the famous "918" incident, the Japanese army also launched a plan to invade China, and Zhang Xueliang led the northeast army to withdraw from the northeast without firing a shot, and the Japanese army occupied the entire northeast in 4 months, when the northeast had the most advanced arsenal in all of China, these were originally sent to the Japanese army, and the japanese army's military equipment was greatly replenished.
After a few years of operating in the northeast, the Japanese army became more and more arrogant, they put forward a plan to destroy China within three months, and at that time the combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment of the Chinese army were an order of magnitude different from the Japanese army, the Japanese army once made China have an invincible sense of oppression, chiang kai-shek gathered 800,000 troops in the Battle of Songhu to try to block the advance of the Japanese army, but because of improper command, coupled with the equipment gap is too large, and finally ended in failure, the despair of the Chinese people at that time was indescribable, Qian Mu wrote the "Outline of Chinese History" for this purpose. This is to make use of China's restoration, many overseas Chinese sell houses and jewelry, in order to pool money to support the domestic War of Resistance Against Japan.
After the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, it did not stay, a simple rest of the troops attacked Nanjing in three ways, when Chiang Kai-shek saw that the situation was not good, he ordered to move to chongqing, at that time, the retreat order was hasty, some troops did not receive the order to resist all the time, but in the end failed to defend Nanjing, the Japanese army soon occupied Nanjing, the people of Nanjing City became the target of the Japanese army's massacre and anger, the whole city of Nanjing was full of women and children's cries, and the corpses of those wild dogs eating people were already red-eyed. There was a layer of red blood mist floating above Nanjing City, and the air was full of thick smell of blood, and the whole city of Nanjing was a living hell on earth. This is a tragic situation that no language can describe, and today we can only understand a little bit about the tragic situation at that time from the mouths of survivors.
The first survivor is Pan Kaiming, according to his recollection: before the Japanese came, it was already full of wind and rain, everyone said that the Japanese were very bad, killing men when they saw them, robbing women when they saw them, even the little girl dolls and old wives did not let go. Although everyone was afraid, they also had a fluke mentality, thinking that even if the Japanese came, there would not be much wind and waves, and it was difficult to say whether they could break through Nanjing, and perhaps they would withdraw because they were not opponents of the defenders. Due to the psychology of luck, few people avoid disasters in advance, and all of them perform their duties, which is no different from normal days. But after the Japanese army entered the city, they knew how stupid this fluke mentality was, the Japanese army went crazy like a massacre after entering the city, the streets and alleys were filled with countless wailing, many people could not escape because they had broken their legs, they cried for help in the ruins and broken walls, everyone could not protect themselves, even if they had the ability to save others. He and a large group of people were driven by the Japanese to the coal pile in Coal Alley, the Japanese shot at them, fortunately he cleverly fell into the coal pit next to him in advance to escape the disaster, Rao was also stabbed by the Japanese bayonet, and every time he recalled the scene at that time, he shuddered.
The second survivor, Zheng Deming, recalled: The street became a purgatory on earth, the Japanese army burned and looted everywhere to find fun, heard the footsteps of the Japanese army, he pulled his sister-in-law and two nieces into the cellar of the utility room, but unfortunately, they were still discovered by two Japanese soldiers, the Japanese army in order to have fun, raped his sister-in-law in front of him, and let him light it on the side, after the incident, two Japanese soldiers shot and killed his sister-in-law, his leg was also injured, and he also found firewood to light a fire at the entrance of the cave, trying to smoke them alive in the cellar. The two nieces were smoked to death, and Zheng Deming managed to climb out, but with a disability on his feet.
According to records made by some charities at the time, it was verified by a military court at the post-war trial. Chongshan Hall collected 112267 bodies of compatriots killed, the Red Cross Society received 43,123 corpses of compatriots killed, and the Red Cross Society received 22,683 corpses of compatriots killed. Beyond these data, more compatriots fell into the belly of wild dogs, leaving nothing behind. In the face of such heinous crimes, the only thing we can do to forgive our ancestors is to remember history, forge ahead, always guard against the revival of Japanese militarism, and constantly strengthen ourselves, and we must not let the historical tragedy have the opportunity to repeat itself.
People come and go, and the city is generously illuminated
Like a teenager, not afraid of years
The encounter is too short to wait for the tea to cool
If you are permanent, Hi Brother will accompany you through this scene
