In 2014, after Japan's Abe cabinet came to power, it disregarded history, blatantly reversed black and white, confused the public opinion, and beautified the history of foreign aggression and colonization. This is a disregard for historical justice and human conscience, as well as a challenge to the achievements of World War II and the post-war international order.
Subsequently, the State Archives successively published the handwritten confessions of 45 Japanese war criminals, whose crimes were appalling and overwhelmingly evidenced, exposing with irrefutable facts the inhumane, anti-human, and anti-civilization brutal atrocities committed by Japan during its invasion of China.
The second war criminal announced by the Central Archives was named Shigeru Fujita.
During the war of aggression against China, Japanese war criminal Shigeru Fujita ordered his troops to use cholera bacteria to wage germ warfare against our soldiers and civilians.
Shigeru Fujita
Shigeru Fujita, a war criminal, was born in 1889 in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. He graduated from the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School in 1911. He was awarded the rank of second lieutenant and in 1935 he was appointed deputy military attaché to the Chief of Staff.
In 1938, he went to Shanxi, China to participate in the war of aggression against China, and served as the commander of the cavalry wing of the army.
In September 1941, he was promoted to major general brigade commander, and at the end of the same year, the cavalry brigade was disbanded and the unit was reorganized into a mechanized unit, with Shigeru Fujita as the commander of the wing.
In 1944, he went to Henan as a major general brigade commander. In March 1945, he was appointed commander of the Lieutenant General Division. He was captured by Soviet forces in Hamheung, North Korea in August 1945, and extradited to China in July 1950 at the Fushun War Criminals Management Center.
In June 1956, shigeru Fujita was sentenced to 18 years in prison after being tried by the Shenyang Special Military Tribunal of the Supreme People's Court of the mainland.
Hearing the verdict, Shigeru Fujita, who had saved his life, wept bitterly and said, "If I am guilty of my crimes, I will be sentenced to several death sentences, but I will not be able to atone for my sins."
In February 1963, Shigeru Fujita was released back to Japan early. After returning to China, Fujita was elected president of the China Returnees Liaison Association, and in 1965 and 1972, he led two delegations of the China Returnees Liaison Association to China, both of which were received by Premier Zhou. He died in 1980.
The main crimes of war criminal Shigeru Fujita in invading China were:
In August 1938, six villagers were arrested in Hejin, Shanxi Province, and when Fujita Shigeru interrogated the arrested villagers, he used torture to restrain the villagers, and finally beat the villagers, and after being tortured, the six people were brutally killed by them.
In November 1938, in Sanlu Li Village, northeast of Yuncheng, Shanxi, Fujita Shigeru led his troops into the village to search for villagers, most of whom were slaughtered by Sanlu Li villagers.
In January 1939, in Zhangliang Village, Xi'an County, Shanxi, Fujita Shigeru educated all officers, so that officers and soldiers were accustomed to the battlefield, accustomed to bloodshed, accustomed to killing, and let soldiers assassinate prisoners to practice courage. He also summed it up unashamedly: "Assassination is more effective than shooting". In April, in Xia County, Shanxi, Shigeru Fujita ordered nine of his men to assassinate nine captives. On August 15, in Zezhou, Shanxi, Shigeru Fujita handed over 8 prisoners to the 1st Squadron and 9 to the 2nd Squadron for assassination practice.
In the year from March 1944 to April 1945, Shigeru Fujita fired 74 gas shells at our innocent soldiers and civilians, causing a large number of casualties.
On April 10, 1944, with the heroic resistance of our soldiers and civilians, Fujita Shigeru was in danger, so the authority to use gas shells was delegated to the wing commander, and in the subsequent operations, 1 mounted gun carried 20 gas shells, and 1 wing gun carried 10 gas shells.
In early May 1944, in the village of Huangqiwei in Xuchang, Henan, four captives were brutally assassinated. In mid-May, in Luoyang, Henan Province, Shigeru Fujita ordered his troops to strafe our unarmed villagers, killing 12 villagers, including a woman.
At the end of October 1944, near Taikang, Henan, 6 innocent villagers were tortured and killed. In December, 11 innocent villagers were tortured and killed in the northern region of Guide.
In March 1945, in a village of about 50 families on the Laohekou Road, Fujita Shigeru's troops surrounded the village and slaughtered all the elderly, women, children and children in the village. On the same day, gas shells were used again in the attack on Mt. Maku.
In May 1945, innocent people were killed indiscriminately in Shiqiao Village, Yishui, Shandong Province, and all shiqiao villages were burned down by fire. In the same month, during the war, he ordered his subordinates to use cholera bacteria and carry out germ warfare against our soldiers and civilians. When attacking the Eighth Route Army in Haoshan, gas bombs were used. In order to prevent the damage from the mines of the Eighth Route Army, Fujita Shigeru abducted more than a dozen villagers to explore the road in front and act as a "pioneer in demining".
In June 1945, Shigeru Fujita assassinated more than 600 prisoners in Jinan under the guise of education.
After Japan announced its unconditional surrender, on August 17, 1945, in order to cover up its brutal atrocities against humanity, humanity and civilization. Fujita ordered: 1. Destroy various documents to eliminate the crimes of Japanese imperialism, especially the evidence of bomb pressure on the Communist Party; 2. Bury special bombs; 3. Destroy gas masks, etc.
Crimes against humanity: Shigeru Fujita fought in Shanxi Province, Hebei Province, Shandong Province and other places, and wherever he went, he implemented the three-light policy of "burning the light, killing the light, and snatching the light". Civilians were forced to explore mines, connivance was allowed by their subordinates to burn, kill, plunder, rape Chinese women, and wherever their troops went, there were ten rooms and nine empty houses, and the residents were homeless.
Crimes against humanity: Shigeru Fujita admonished his subordinates to kill captives on the battlefield as a result of the battle. He also often instructed his subordinates: to use living people as targets and to conduct "test training" for soldiers. The order was ordered to use Chinese civilians and captured personnel as "live targets of assassination" and kill more than a hundred people at a time.
After Shigeru Fujita was released and returned to China, he tirelessly went on a lecture tour around the country to expose and criticize the aggressive crimes of Japanese militarism and waged a tit-for-tat struggle against the rising militarist forces.
In order to promote the cause of Japan-China friendship, he led five delegations to visit China, and Premier Zhou spoke highly of his efforts for Sino-Japanese friendship and presented him with a set of Zhongshan suits that were popular in China at that time.
In 1980, at the age of 90, Shigeru Fujita left a last word to his children before his death, saying: "I am a student of Chinese people. When I arrived at the Nine Springs, I could not forget the favor given to me by the Chinese teacher, and when I died, I would definitely wear that Zhongshan suit for me. ”
Alarm bells ring for a long time, do not forget history, do not forget the national shame!
