During the Second World War, it was mainly the Japanese army that launched aggression against the mainland, and the arrival of the Japanese army also brought serious suffering to the people of the mainland.
The crimes committed by the Japanese army on the mainland can be said to be too numerous to describe. The Nanjing Massacre is one of the crimes committed by the Japanese army, but the crimes committed by the Japanese army are far from being represented by a Nanjing Massacre.
In the town of Changyao in Hunan Province, the Japanese army once carried out a massacre, in just a few days, tens of thousands of people died, so that this originally beautiful town, become unrecognizable, this is the factory kiln massacre.
So what was the specific course of this factory kiln massacre, how did the Japanese army commit atrocities, and what kind of suffering was caused to the people on the mainland?
In 1943, in order to open up the Yangtze River route from Yichang to Wuhan, so as to further cut off the mainland's grain supply, they began to attack Hunan, the town of Changyao is on the edge of Dongting Lake, in a very important position, naturally can not escape the invasion of the Japanese army, the town of Changyao, most of the life is simple croppers, just in that year, the people of Changyao Town, still according to the usual customs, ready to continue farming, for the national affairs, their understanding is not a lot, but tens of kilometers away from them Huarong, It has been breached by the Japanese army.
After the Japanese army broke through Huarong, it began to march on the factory kiln, and gradually formed a circle of encirclement around the factory kiln, at the same time, more than 10,000 Kuomintang main forces, as well as more than 20,000 refugees, fled to the factory kiln, and it was these fleeing officers and soldiers and refugees who woke up the factory kiln residents who were working and made them realize that the flames of war had already burned to them.
And this sudden influx of more than 30,000 people also made the residents of the factory and kiln who were originally working in agriculture panic, all of them panicked and wanted to escape, or they hid themselves and wanted to avoid the war, but it was too late.
The Japanese army has mobilized a large number of troops, in the periphery of the factory kiln formed a circle, and this army, are equipped with extremely advanced equipment, want to break through the factory kiln, is extremely easy, on May 8, the Japanese army sent troops, the factory kiln to the death of the encirclement, but after the encirclement, they did not launch the first attack, but waiting for an opportunity, and then launched an attack.
At the crack of dawn on May 9, 1943, the Japanese army, which had surrounded the factory kiln to death, decided to launch an attack on the factory kiln, and most of the people who were surrounded by the factory kiln were refugees and croppers, these people had no combat effectiveness, and the only combat effectiveness was the more than 10,000 fleeing Kuomintang troops.
In the face of the Japanese attack, the soldiers and civilians in the factory kiln did not sit still, but united as one to rise up against the Japanese attack, but helplessly, the combat effectiveness between the two was too different, and the resistance of the mainland soldiers and civilians did not last long before they were defeated by the Japanese army, and the people in the factory kiln were also exposed to the butcher's knife of the Japanese army.
In the face of the people who had lost the ability to resist, the Japanese army did not have any pity, and did not choose to let go of the people in the factory kiln, the Japanese army brandished their butcher knives and began to massacre the people in the factory kiln.
Many people were killed by the butcher's knife of the Japanese army, and after the resistance, thousands of Nationalist soldiers were still alive, and they knew that they had to evacuate the factory kiln as soon as possible.
So they took some refugees and wanted to evacuate from the factory kiln through the waterway, but the Japanese army had surrounded the factory kiln, so these people who wanted to escape were naturally discovered by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army set up machine guns and began to shoot wildly at these people, the original clear river water suddenly became a blood red, and these people who wanted to escape were almost all killed.
Then the Japanese began a carpet hunt in the kiln, capturing all the people hiding in the kiln, then taking them to the Dian'an River, taking off their shirts, stabbing them to death with bayonets, and then throwing them into the river.
The original clear and beautiful river became full of corpses, blood red, after this tragedy, the local people added an alias to the Dian'an River, the Blood Water River, and even a song to describe the tragic situation of this tragedy.
All of this is to confirm the tragic situation of this tragedy, near the factory kiln, there is a small village called Valente, this small village, the Japanese army did not let go, the Japanese army will be here the residents, as well as the refugees hidden here, all killed, the Japanese army will kill all the men, for women, fell into the hands of the Japanese army, the end is even more miserable, the Japanese army will first invade the women who were caught, and then brutally kill these women, the Japanese army even innocent children did not let go, just a few days, The entire factory kiln changed from a vibrant town to a lifeless wasteland, and tens of thousands of innocent lives were killed by the butcher knives of the Japanese army.
Four years after the factory kiln massacre, the Japanese army at that time had accepted unconditional surrender, and only then began to conduct detailed statistics and investigations on the factory kiln massacre, according to the newspapers and journalists' diaries at that time, which had a description of the factory kiln massacre, for example, the situation in the river after the factory kiln tragedy, the boat in the river, can not move at all, as long as the oar is used to slightly divert the water flow, Rotting corpses will emerge from the river, making it impossible for the ships to continue, and the tragic situation in the river cannot be fully described in words.
This massacre, the people of the mainland should always remember, always remember this crime committed by the Japanese army, the tragic degree of the factory kiln massacre, comparable to the Nanjing Massacre, but this massacre is not like the Nanjing Massacre, from the beginning of the occurrence of people remembered, this is because the geographical location of the factory kiln, some remote, the specific news, is not easy to come out, and after the tragedy, did not get timely investigation and evidence, nor was it reported in time, which also led to this massacre, which was once forgotten by people.
But forgetting is only temporary, for the crimes committed by the Japanese army, the sons and daughters of China will remember in their hearts one by one, the factory kiln massacre, was during the Second World War, the average massacre of the most people, in recent years, the mainland has also investigated the details of the factory kiln massacre, but also in the factory kiln, built a monument to commemorate the compatriots who died in the factory kiln, to remember the compatriots who died in the factory kiln.
This tall monument, with its engraved names, is all physical evidence to prove the crimes committed by the Japanese army, no matter how much the Japanese side does not want to admit it, but the facts cannot be hidden.
After the surrender of the Japanese army, the war criminals who had commanded several massacres on the mainland were sentenced to capital punishment, but these were far from enough to repay the numerous crimes they had committed on the mainland.
Factory kiln tragedy, because of various reasons, did not be recorded for the first time, but will eventually be remembered, in the factory kiln, tens of thousands of people from fresh life, into a cold number, for the entire Chinese nation, are burned in the heart of the scars, whether it is the Nanjing Massacre, or the factory kiln massacre, the murderer is the Japanese aggressor.
But at present, Japan is very reluctant to admit the crimes they have committed, constantly distorting history, and even building shrines to enshrine those war criminals who committed crimes, one by one, ironclad facts, Japan wants to distort, but we must remember, we must always remember these national shames, always forget the national shame, revitalize the Chinese nation, this sentence is remembered, we must always remember, we must always remember, we must always remember, we must always remember that our current beautiful life is the countless predecessors who threw their heads and spilled their blood in exchange for their lives.
Only by remembering these things can we make continuous efforts, can we continue to work hard, and build the motherland into a better place; only when the country is built well, can the Chinese nation stand firm in the world and continue to develop, and only in this way can we be worthy of those predecessors who threw their heads and spilled their blood
