After the September 18 Incident, the northeast fell. Rather than the fall of the northeast, it is more accurate to say that Zhang Shaoshuai surrendered his hand to the three eastern provinces. Zhang Shaoshuai's flight to the west is precisely the beginning of the history of the people's blood and tears in the northeast; in the 14-year War of Resistance, the number of tragic deaths of the people of the northeast under the knife of the Japanese aggressors was several times that of the Nanjing Massacre, which was a pain that the Chinese people could never erase, and it was also a crime that the Japanese invaders could never exonerate. With the policy of non-resistance of the Northeast Army and the Nationalist government, the three eastern provinces entered an extremely tragic fate.
After the army, which should have been the main force of the anti-Japanese resistance, fled westward, the anti-Japanese situation in the northeast did not subside, and all kinds of anti-Japanese forces surged up, and in order to defend the family and defend the country, anti-Japanese self-defense forces were set up in various places, and they dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese. When the Japanese were unable to cope, they extended their claws to the civilian population and slaughtered a large number of innocent civilians, of course, in the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, all the souls who died under the guns of the Japanese army were innocent. Among them, on September 16, 1932, the Japanese army massacred nearly 4,000 civilians in Pingdingshan Village, Fushun City, Liaoning Province, known in history as the "Pingdingshan Massacre", which was one of the largest massacres created by the Japanese in Liaoning and even in northeast China.
Pingdingshan Village is a village under Fushun City, Liaoning Province, with a population of nearly 4,000 people, at that time it was a relatively large village, the village rose from the mine, in addition to miners, there are various traders and craftsmen, can be regarded as a relatively rich village. But the good times were short-lived, and its quiet days were shattered by the Japanese army entering the village.
In the second year of the September 18 Incident, the local anti-Japanese armed forces decided to attack Fushun, killed the invader Watanabe Kuanichi who enslaved the people of Fushun, and destroyed various facilities of the Japanese army, the Japanese army suffered a heavy blow, and at this time, the Japanese garrison leader Kawakami Masa learned of this, he was furious and determined to retaliate, but the local anti-Japanese armed forces were not easy to take by the Japanese, so the Japanese Kou retaliated against the civilians of Pingdingshan. The reason for the retaliation was simple and comical, that is, when the anti-Japanese armed forces were fighting against the enemy, the villagers of Pingdingshan did not report to the Japanese army, and after some discussion, they actually made the decision to go into the village to sweep up, massacre all the villagers, and set fire to the whole village.
On September 16, 1932, hundreds of Japanese kosovars, composed of gendarmes and garrisons, armed with machine guns, frantically marched into the village of Pingdingshan. In order to save ammunition and coax the common people to gather at the head of the village, the people who did not know the truth went to the head of the village under the threat of the Japanese bayonet, and those elderly, weak, sick and disabled who had limited mobility were stabbed to death in public by the Japanese army in public.
When everyone was driven to the head of the village, they found that the Japanese army had already set up a killing base here, surrounded by Japanese soldiers with live ammunition. The people who suddenly woke up found that the road home was full of fire, and it turned out that after the Japanese army drove away the villagers, they had burned the village. Watching their homes gobbled up in flames, people's hearts were like knives. At this time, the Japanese Kou lifted a bulging black cloth, and the terrified people found that it was a black pressed machine gun.
At this time, the crowd was still in turmoil, the villagers fled in all directions, but it was too late, at this time the gunshots had already sounded, and the tongues of fire sprayed into the crowd, accompanied by the dense gunfire, the crowd fell, the blood flowed into a river, and the coagulated blood and mud mixed together, although the rainstorm could not fade. The people lying on the ground were children of several years of age, babies under the age of one, old people who were too old to give birth, and women who were about to give birth. The sound of machine guns stopped for an hour, and the Japanese began to mend their knives and stab those who had not completely lost their breath. For the babies whose mothers were dead and still sucking milk on their nipples, the Japanese army was even more mad, using bayonets to pierce their backs and provoke them, and then fell fiercely to the ground. In this way, none of the nearly 4,000 people in the village escaped from the clutches of the Japanese Kou, and the entire village was slaughtered.
The Pingdingshan massacre is just one of many tragedies in China, where 35 million dead are a crime that the Japanese army can never get rid of. Although history has passed, the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army in the past are still fresh in our minds; it was the nightmare of a generation; while the whole world was remembering fascism in World War II, Today's Japan wantonly falsified history and glorified acts of aggression; as a Chinese, we should remember history and never forget all the imperialist aggression against the mainland in history; at the same time, our generation should work hard for the motherland to become strong, so that history will certainly not repeat itself.
