If you put it in the river of time, the 6-week time has a total of 42 days, which is 1008 hours, 60480 minutes, and 3628800 seconds.
If we go back to Nanjing in 1937, back to the inhumane crimes in the history of World War II, we will find that these 3,628,800 seconds are completely bloody atrocities and tragic humiliations.
In that year, the city of Nanjing, since the early morning of December 13, was destroyed, and in the next 6 weeks, at a rate of an average of 1 Chinese compatriot innocently killed every 12 seconds, it painfully recorded the heinous atrocities of the Japanese army invading China.
Nanjing, Nanjing!
After the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army, with the Central China Front as the main force, joined forces with its navy to divide into three routes and reach the direction of Nanjing.
Under the all-round offensive of the Japanese army, the defense of Nanjing was officially launched. Due to the disparity in strength, between December 5 and December 8, the Japanese gradually encroached on and occupied the suburban highlands outside Nanjing. The Nationalist forces that resisted the Japanese army to defend Nanjing were defeated one after another, and the positions were occupied by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army completed the encirclement of Nanjing.
On December 9, the Japanese army continuously distributed the so-called "Surrender Exhortation Letter" in Nanjing by aircraft, restricting the Nationalist troops who were clinging to Nanjing to reply before noon on December 10.
On December 10, seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the Japanese army attacked the city of Nanjing in an all-round way from 13:00 on the afternoon of the same day. Under the fierce fire, the defenders were gradually defeated and suffered heavy casualties.
Yes, the Chinese army sacrificed the number of people
Up to 50,000 people
。 Lieutenant colonel or above
A total of 47 middle and senior officers were killed in the service
, which includes
Major General 8
、
There were 17 colonels
，
There are 22 lieutenant colonels
。 The battle was fierce, and the corpses of many senior generals could not be transported from the city of Nanjing.
At 17:00 on the afternoon of December 12, the Nationalist army issued a retreat order.
In the early morning of December 13, the Japanese army broke through Nanjing, and Nanjing fell. Many of the defenders who did not have time to retreat also died in the city of Nanjing.
On December 14, the commander of the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Force, Hatohiko Asakamiya, signed an order asking for his troops
"Kill all the captives"
。
Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, in the next 6 weeks, almost became a ghost. In the ancient city of Jinling that year, the gusts of yin wind were not only the sorrows of a country, but also the weeping of a nation.
Atrocities, crimes!
In fact, this killing was premeditated.
One of the culprits who personally concocted this crime was Hatohiko Asakamiya, who was born into the Japanese imperial family.
If you count the generations, Asakamiya Hatohiko, who married a close relative within the imperial family, was both a distant uncle of Emperor Hirohito and an uncle of Hirohito. As an important supporter of Hirohito, Hatohiko Asakamiya strongly advocated "militarism" and actively advocated foreign aggression.
On December 17, 1937, AsakaMiya Entered the City of Nanjing
After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the 50-year-old Hatohiko Asakamiya served as a military senate officer.
After the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese Army originally made Matsui Ishigen the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army. At the critical moment of the all-out attack on Nanjing, Hirohito transferred Hatohiko Asaka to the position of commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Dispatch Army. Only because AsakaMiya Hatohiko is more radical and brutal.
On December 7, as soon as the lame Asakamiya Hatohiko rushed to the front line in Nanjing, he immediately issued a strict order at the staff meeting:
Do not take prisoners, but execute all forces that resist.
With Shangfeng's clear instructions, the Japanese army had already launched a large-scale killing ring on the outskirts of Nanjing before it had captured Nanjing.
Among them, the most notorious is the "killing match" between Toshiaki Xiang and Takeshi Noda. The two met, and whoever killed enough 100 people first to win when they occupied Nanjing, and Tokyo's "Asahi Shimbun" even tracked the "event", rendering it in ink and ink, illustrating and texting, calling the two "heroes of the imperial army".
The two killed all the way from Jurong to Tangshan, of which Xiang Toshiaki killed 89 people and Noda Killed 78 people. At the foot of purple mountain, Xiang Toshiaki killed 106 people, and Noda Killed 105 people.
The saber had already cut through the opening, but because they were not sure who would kill enough 100 people first, the two met again to see who killed 150 people first.
In order to capture the city of Nanjing as soon as possible, Hatohiko ordered indiscriminate and high-density indiscriminate bombardment. Schools, docks, residential areas, government offices, etc., are not spared.
As early as November 1937, Article 103 of the Japanese Military's "Law on the Use of Aviation Forces" also clearly stated: "The implementation of strategic attacks belongs to the central organs of sabotage, including politics, economy, industry and so on."
And what is important is the direct air raid on the citizens, causing great terror to the people and thwarting their will.
”
What is it? This is a premeditated atrocity! This is the unspeakable crime of the Japanese army!
Miserable, Chinese weeping!
After the Japanese army captured Nanjing, hathiko went to Xianggong
"Inadequate campsite outside the city"
"I don't need to use it due to lack of water"
And so on as an excuse, all Japanese troops were allowed to enter the city.
Under the command of Hatohiko Asaka, Matsui Ishigen, Tani Shoufu and others, the Japanese army carried out a bloody atrocity in and around Nanjing for 6 weeks. Killing, adultery, looting, burning, all heinous!
On December 15, the Chinese military and police had laid down their weapons

The bustling ancient city of Jinling in the past was like purgatory for a while.
The children of Huaxia were all in tears.
Faithful souls, do not forget!
Loyal souls and unjust bones were all killed in this terrible slaughter.
According to incomplete statistics, in this short period of 6 weeks, as many as many captured soldiers and civilians were slaughtered and their bodies were destroyed and burned
More than 190,000 people
。 As many as those who have been sporadically killed and buried by charities
More than 150,000 people

More than 3000 units
The remains of compatriots killed.
In stark contrast to this is the ugly face of the Japanese army in a vain attempt to cover up the truth.
On the yangtze river, the Japanese army directly dumped the body into the river after completing the shooting atrocity.
Japanese eyewitnesses at the time, in later recollections, said:
"There are countless dead bodies floating on the river, on the banks of the river and in the water, and there is almost no edge in sight. Not only soldiers, but also many civilians, men, women and children. The corpses are like wooden rows full of rivers, flowing slowly and endlessly. ”
In order to cover up the crime, the Japanese army used troops in the city of Nanjing to destroy the corpses. Wearing gas masks, they poured barrels of kerosene onto the piles of corpses and burned them.
The thousand-year-old city is filled with the scorching smell of burning corpses, and many survivors are also piled into the pile of corpses and burned alive.
The cries of sorrow, the sound of scolding, and the wisps of black smoke that float in the city of Nanjing are the pains that we can never forget!
The death of the country, the death of the nation!
After the war, among the 59 major war criminals who committed heinous crimes in Nanjing, only Matsui Ishigen, Tani Shoufu, Toshiaki Xiangjing, Takeshi Noda, and Junyoshi Tanaka were sentenced to death.
The remaining 54 men, as well as many Japanese soldiers who held aloft butcher knives, were never severely punished, and could even live the rest of their lives at large.
Jijizaki: Kiyoshi Kariyagawa, Ishine Matsui, Yukihiko Asaka, Heisuke Yanagawa
After the capture of Nanking, Hirohito, who was extremely concerned about the war, was very pleased and ordered a telegram to AsakaMiya Hatohiko, calling him
"The record is unprecedented."
After the crime, under the pressure of great international public opinion, Asakamiya Hatohiko was recalled to China in 1938, not only did not receive any punishment, but also received Hirohito personally, and specially gave a pair of silver vases engraved with the emblem of the Japanese Imperial Chrysanthemum to show Japan's grace for Asakamiya Hatohiko.
In 1939, Hatohiko Asakamiya was promoted to general and served as a member of the House of Nobles, as president of the Wounded and Sick Soldiers' Association.
In 1942, Asakamiya was awarded the Order of the Golden Eagle of the First Class.
In 1947, Asakagu changed his name to Asaka Hatohiko and moved to Atami with his family. Although he was revoked from his imperial title under pressure from MacArthur and others, Asaka still lived an aristocratic life of spending time and wine, maintaining close ties with Hirohito, playing golf together and attending imperial meetings together.
Later, Asaka became one of Japan's best golfers and became the president of a Japanese golf club. Until 1981, Asaka Hatohiko died at the age of 94.
In 1982, Japan's Ministry of Culture approved what they called a "history textbook."
In his book, they changed the narrative of "invading China" to one
"Entering China"
and glorified this crime.
In his book, they downplay the record of the "Nanjing Massacre."
"Nanjing Incident"
and dilute it, renaming the innocent victims of more than 300,000 people
"Caused some civilian and military deaths"
In their book, they cover up many key issues to
"Inconclusive"
"Still under study"
"Not possible"
and other words to prevaricate.
Their mouthpieces are still preaching for them today. Their cultural aggression is still raging on our soil today.
For the more than 300,000 compatriots who suffered in Nanjing, and for the thousands of soldiers who fought in blood, this is really a great irony.
And this also makes us recognize a fact:
"Backwardness will be beaten, backwardness will not have the right to speak!" Only by making unremitting efforts to improve ourselves can we take justice into our own hands! ”
forgive? What qualifications do we have to say forgiveness on behalf of our forefathers?
Only by remembering the history of humiliation can we uphold our peaceful future.
