On September 18, 1931, after the Japanese railway garrison blew up the South Manchuria Railway, it blamed the Chinese army for this crime, thus officially launching a war of aggression against China, and in the decades before that, Japan had already eyed China and carried out acts of aggression.
At the beginning of the late nineteenth century, Japan invaded Taiwan, China, massacred its fellow mountain compatriots, and came to power again twenty-one years later, causing Taiwan to be invaded and occupied by it.
After Taiwan became a Japanese colony, Japan sent troops to station on the island and severely beat, bullied, discriminated against and imprisoned Taiwan compatriots day after day for 50 years.
A year before the second appearance, the Japanese navy attacked Qing warships, killing more than 700 Qing soldiers, and the Sino-Japanese War broke out.
From October of the same year to February of the following year, Japan invaded Liaoning, raised troops and entered Lushun, launching a brutal massacre for four days and three nights, except for the 36 Chinese people responsible for burying the corpses, more than 20,000 Chinese in a city, and no one survived!
By 1900, Japan, together with Russia and Britain, and other seven countries invaded Beijing, burning, shooting, adultery, looting, and all kinds of evil, and in July of the same year, it captured Tianjin and robbed more than 2 million taels of silver.
In 1928, more than 1,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed in Jinan, and Zhang Zuolin, who refused to be a Japanese lackey, was blown up to death in Huanggutun.
But just to mention the above-mentioned crimes of denouncing the common indignation of people and gods, each of them represents the slaughter of countless lives, and each of them represents the inhuman destruction of the sovereignty of the country!
The plan before capturing the village
What kind of life did ordinary Chinese live in the 14 years from 1931 to Japan's surrender in 1945?
It would be more appropriate to say how to survive?
In the mainland's anti-Japanese dramas, perhaps for revenge, perhaps because of hatred, or for the sake of ratings, the Chinese Communist Party can tear the Japanese with its hands, shoot down reconnaissance planes empty-handed, dodge bullets sideways, and set up ambushes in villages that are about to be captured to wipe out the entire Japanese army.
But what about the facts?
From towns to villages, to every inch of Chinese land, wherever the Japanese passed, they implemented the three-light policy, burning everything they could not take away, robbing everything that was valuable, and killing everything that hindered their eyes.
At that time, the Japanese army had undergone very systematic and long-term training before the invasion of China, and not only had weapons dozens of times more advanced than China, but even had a very high level of vigilance.
They would not rush into Chinese villages, and many of the older generation who lived through those cruel years said that half of the credit for the Japanese being able to infiltrate and successfully encroach on Chinese land so quickly was due to the traitors.
When the Japanese enter the village, a large part of them also rely on traitors, and they will find a few local villagers or petty officials in advance before entering the village, whether it is coercion and inducement, or capital torture, in short, in the end, they can become traitors for their use.
From the traitors, they will learn the detailed topography of the villages to be occupied, the number of households, the harvest, the wealth of the family, where the Chinese soldiers are most likely to be harbored, and which households are the most suspicious.
With this information in hand, they will arrange for the men and horses to hold the commanding heights near the village to ensure that they can detect anything suspicious at the first time, and the next step is to attack the village by surprise.
There were many killings
As a regular army, the Japanese army is not as scattered and chaotic as in the film and television dramas, so that the Chinese people have the opportunity to sneak attack. In reality, they would conduct an exhaustive search of the village in groups of several people, wielding axes or shovels until the gate could not withstand the destruction and cracked.
All valuable goods and food found will be forcibly robbed, usable and edible livestock will be taken away, and the crops and houses that cannot be taken away will rather be burned than left Chinese a glimmer of life.
These are only external, and what is even more inhuman is that when they see beautiful girls, they will forcibly take turns persecuting them, and if the girl dies on the spot, they will be discarded or burned in place, and if their lives are still alive, they will be forcibly taken to a "comfort center".
And those old and weak women and children who were "useless" to them, they would plunge bayonets into their bodies or necks, and even in order to satisfy their selfish desires, the Japanese would ask fathers to have sex with their daughters, and when they resisted or begged for mercy by wagging their tails, the soldiers would laugh and stab them to death with the last sword.
The inhumane Japanese army was happy to see the Chinese people, crawling on the ground and crying and kowtowing for mercy, which would greatly satisfy their distorted psychology.
In the end, they would gather the captured people to the open space of the village, and some available labor would be left behind to carry out all the hard work such as mining for them, and if there was resistance, they would be killed on the spot; For the rest, they would hold a killing game, giving the people a few seconds to escape, while the Japanese loaded their guns behind them.
With the sound of gunshots piercing the sky, those Chinese people who are desperately fleeing for survival will fall one after another in a pool of blood.
In order to save bullets, they tied the villagers in a row, and the Japanese soldiers stood blindfolded in front of the people, comparing who stabbed more accurately and with more holes.
The people who became targets in the killing game, they had to watch each other stand in front of them, watch them blindfolded, look at the shining blade, except trembling, except for resentment, except for receiving the knife over and over again, except for seeing hot blood flowing out of their bodies, except for feeling their bodies from warm to cold, they could not do anything to save themselves!
Of course, the people also resisted, but the end will not be better. Because they don't have any weapons except hatred.
And like the film and television drama in which the people fight wits and courage with the Japanese army who entered the village, there is very little possibility of happening in the history of the real War of Resistance, and they can escape as soon as possible, and those who can't can hide and hide, and the conflict with the Japanese army is simply a pebble.
There are crimes that go beyond all
But in these film and television dramas, not all scenes are exaggerated, such as the Japanese in the play will capture Chinese soldiers, whether it is the Communist Party or the Kuomintang, confined to electric chairs, in order to force important information, they will knock finger-long nails into their flesh and blood until they pass through the palms.
They would use pliers to pluck out the fingernails and toenails of Republican and national soldiers.
They would soak barb-ridden whips in salt water and whip them.
And in real history, the evil things that the Japanese have done to Chinese will only be more cruel and unforgivable than in film and television dramas!
