On August 15, 1945, the Emperor of Japan announced his unconditional surrender, but a terrible massacre had just begun, and the 2-year-old child was cut in two by the devil...
This little-known battle took place after Japan's surrender, and the story begins in September 1945.
01
On September 24, 1945, the 19th day of the eighth lunar month, the villagers of Xisanjiazi Village in Longjiang County, Heilongjiang Province, were still immersed in the Mid-Autumn Festival that had just passed.
Although the people's lives were difficult under the trampling of the iron hooves of the Japanese devils, the news of the unconditional surrender just announced by the devils undoubtedly added a touch of joy to this traditional Chinese festival at this time.
The Soviet Union has just declared war on Japan, and the joining of the Soviet Red Army has given the masses of the people a reassuring pill: "At this point, the Japanese devils will definitely be finished." Our hard days are coming to an end. ”
However, to everyone's surprise, a disaster crept in.
This afternoon, the autumn wind suddenly faded, and a faint dark cloud was accumulating in the sky, becoming thicker and thicker.
At 3 o'clock, three gunshots rang out at the entrance of the village, accompanied by noisy human voices.
Five- or six-year-old Tao Yongfu was sleeping in the hall house, and the 2-year-old little sister in the next room was playing with her mother.
Father was working in the yard, when he heard a voice, he alertly ran outside the courtyard door and looked around, then quickly turned around and ran back to the hall.
He saw his son who was confused and about to wake up, and hurriedly and panickedly opened the mat on the kang, tucked his son into the exposed kang hole, and told him not to move while quickly sorting out and restoring the original appearance of the kang.
This pit is to avoid the japanese devils entering the village and harming people, which belongs to the characteristics of the north.
By the time my father turned and ran out of the house and was running toward another room, the courtyard door had been kicked open by several devils.
With bayonets in their hands and fierce faces, they rushed towards Tao Yongfu's father. Before Old Tao could react, a bayonet stabbed him in the chest...
A massacre in Xisanjiazi Village happened quietly. Without warning from the outside world and without the villagers' knowledge, Xisanjiazi Village was washed in blood by ghosts.
These seemingly disheveled devils, like crazy beasts, entered the village and killed people when they saw them.
The cunning devils were afraid that the sound of gunfire would reveal their whereabouts, and except for three shots fired when they entered the village to shock the villagers, they stabbed the unarmed villagers with bayonets the rest of the time. Men, women and children, young and old, do not let go.
After the blood washed through the Xisanjiazi Village, this group of heinous beasts rushed into the neighboring village of Shendi House, and the same massacre, the villagers were equally caught off guard.
This massacre is little known in history, but it was extremely tragic.
More than 80 villagers in Xisanjiazi Village were killed by ghosts, and more than 70 villagers in Shendi House Village were killed by ghosts. These more than 150 people had just ushered in the dawn of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, but they were deprived of their lives by this group of mad beasts.
In Xisanjiazi Village, Tao Yongfu, who was hidden in a kang cave by his father, escaped a disaster. As a survivor of the massacre, Tao Yongfu once recalled that when he climbed out of the kang cave, he was scared and crying by the scene in front of him, his parents were killed, his 2-year-old little sister fell on the threshold, his small body was almost cut in two, and the village outside his home was full of corpses.
Human nature has advantages and disadvantages, but we really can't imagine, such crazy devils, can they still be counted as human beings, where is their humanity?
There was also a survivor, the old man Wang Yuwen, who was from Shendi House Village, and that day he went to the neighboring village with his father to invite Langzhong, and he was lucky to avoid a disaster.
As soon as he and his father returned to the village, they saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl at the mouth of the village lying in a pool of blood, and six or seven blood holes had been stabbed in her body, and the blood was still flowing.
When they returned home, they were separated from their mother, who was still sewing clothes before leaving the house.
The sunset gradually set in the west, the village of Xisanjiazi was dead silent, a thick cloud pressed over, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be pouring out sorrow.
Tao Yongfu followed several survivors of the village and walked out of the village to seek help.

This group of devils seems to have come prepared, but the Emperor of Japan has been announcing unconditional surrender for a month, so why haven't these demons laid down their weapons and continued to wreak havoc on our people in our land?
When the devils entered the Xisanjiazi Village, the sharp-eyed villagers recognized two of them with ragged clothes and skinny faces.
They were two of the few Japanese devils who had been tied up by the villagers a few days earlier, and they had escaped on their way to the Soviet Red Army.
How could they be mixed up here? Did this massacre have a lot to do with them?
One day in early September 1945, several Japanese soldiers who had been pursued by the Red Army, with gray heads and ragged clothes, fled into the village of Xisanjiazi.
These devils were like grasshoppers after the autumn, after escaping all the way, hungry and hungry, as soon as they entered the village, they begged the villagers for food.
The people of the three eastern provinces have long been oppressed by the Japanese who have been entrenched there, and they hate the devils, and now, the Japanese devils are like "street rats", everyone is cursed, and the villagers are willing to give them scarce grain.
Not only did the villagers not give them food, but they also advised them to take the initiative to surrender to the Red Army. When these cunning Japanese devils saw that they could not get food, they offered to exchange guns and weapons for food.
Most of the local villagers lived on hunting, and in exchange for guns, the kind villagers agreed to their request.
However, to the surprise of the villagers, after the devils received food, they only handed over two long guns and refused to hand over the bullets.
The devil's intrigue and trickery annoyed the simple villagers, remembering the heinous crimes they had committed in this part of China, and the villagers were full of anger.
Enraged, they killed two ghost soldiers and tied up several other ghosts and sent them to the Red Army.
On the way to the escort, two ghosts escaped.
It was these two devils who caused this catastrophe to the people of the village.
The two devils ran for about ten miles or so, encountering a group of heavily armed Japanese deserters, this group of about 400 Japanese troops, who fled from the Mongolian Wangye Temple after being beaten by the Soviet Red Army.
Half a month has passed, and the devils have almost run out of food, and they urgently need to replenish dry food. The two Japanese soldiers who had escaped from the village of Nishisanjiazi told the leader of the conflict with the villagers, Inoue Matsumura, and said that there was a lot of food in the village.
Inoue Matsumura was a deranged militant, and to this day, he was stubbornly resisting with his brigade and refusing to surrender.
After listening to the statements of the two little devils, he was furious and immediately went to take revenge on the villagers.
Therefore, he led a group of ghosts towards the village of Xisanjiazi, and then there was the opening scene.
They stormed the village, carried out a retaliatory massacre of the entire village, and continued to plague the neighboring villages, killing more than 150 living lives.

The sky was gray, and Tao Yongfu and a few villagers who had walked out of the village saw in the haze a group of ironclad chariots slowly approaching in the distance.
Everyone recognized that it was the Soviet Red Army, so they excitedly stretched out their hands and summoned to run towards them.
It turned out that this group of Soviet Red Army had come to pursue this group of Japanese who had escaped from the Wangye Temple, and just happened to encounter villagers who were mutilated by ghosts here.
After entering the village, the Soviet Red Army, looking at this miserable situation of purgatory on earth, could not help but be indignant.
They bandaged the injured villagers while inquiring about the situation. The villagers also told the Red Army about the tragedy that had occurred here.
In the inquiry with the villagers, the Soviet Red Army locked the direction in which the devils fled, and then drove the ironclad chariots and chased them all the way to the devils.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that they finally found the devil's trail in the telescope.
However, the Red Army's next head-to-head confrontation with the devils showed unexpected results.
Just when the Red Army of the Soviet Union found the devils, this group of devilish soldiers also found the Red Army. The cunning devils sent more than 30 people to surrender with white flags in their hands, and the Red Army had to suppress their resentment and accept their surrender according to the battlefield convention.
Just as the Soviets let their guard down, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, more than 300 devils came out of the woods, screaming like devils, frantically shooting at the Red Army that was accepting the surrender of the devils.
Captain Baudgorny of the Soviet Red Army was killed on the spot, and the remaining hundred or so Soviet soldiers immediately threw themselves into battle.
Due to close-quarters hand-to-hand combat, armored tanks were useless, and Soviet submachine guns did not have bayonets, and melee combat was completely at a disadvantage.
But the heroic soldiers of the Soviet Red Army did not flinch in the slightest, they fought back with the butt of their guns, and when the butt flew, they fought with their bare hands and the Japanese, and the battle was very fierce!
In this way, the Soviet Red Army, with more than 100 people, forced the Japanese Kou troops of more than 300 people to pieces.
Soon, Soviet reinforcements arrived, and in the face of this group of beastly ghost soldiers, they refused to accept the surrender and annihilated them all in one fell swoop.

The battle was over, the sky was twilight, and the Red Army, along with the local villagers, buried the fallen Red Army brothers.
In this unknown battle, a total of 124 officers and men of the Soviet Red Army were buried here.
Coupled with the more than 150 villagers who had been slaughtered before, this Japanese army killed more than 270 people who should have been alive and well. It's heartbreaking.
We regard the Japanese army as a human being, and in the case of a bloody sea and a deep vendetta, we still follow the battlefield convention, accept surrender, and do not kill indiscriminately.
The hateful devils have already announced their surrender, but they use surrender as an excuse to kill innocents indiscriminately and inhumanely.
Their slaughter of villagers is completely devoid of humanity.
In the face of the heinous crimes committed by Japanese militarism, we will always keep in mind the heinous crimes committed by Japanese militarism, always maintain a high degree of vigilance, and resolutely fight back at special moments.
At the same time, we must also remember the help and sacrifices made by the Soviet Red Army.
Icing on the cake is for everyone, and there is nothing in the world. Thanks to the Red Army! Hats off to their fearless heroism!
