During the puppet Manchu period, the Japanese and puppet military and police xian te not only tortured the anti-Japanese soldiers with the severe cold of winter, but also used the scorching sun in the summer to persecute Chinese, which was called sunburn.
Zhang Gaoqi recalled what he had seen and heard in the 19th Unit of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Mudanjiang: A Japanese officer was going to come to the construction site to inspect, just in time for the laborers to eat. The Japanese overseers did not let the laborers eat, let them pull grass, and later suspected that they were pulling too slowly, did not allow them to eat, and ordered the laborers to stand in the noonday sun and be exposed. Some of the laborers were sunburned to the ground and were awakened with cool water until the officers were satisfied. The Purpose of the Japanese Overseer is to please the boss.
In the "circle" ("group tribe") of the puppet Manchu Andan, the male masses were forced to dig ditches. Construction of the turret. Zheng Yinbao of Xiaoguancun was arrested for hard labor when he was less than 14 years old, and was severely beaten when he slackened off his work.
Once, Zheng Yinbao and seven other children were punished by the Japanese army for forcing them to kneel on stones and bask in the sun because they were only one minute late. The fiery sun made beads of sweat roll down the faces of several poor children, and the tender calves broke on their knees, and the blood stained the stones red. Even so, it did not exempt the Japanese puppet army from being severely beaten with a whip that split its head and covered its head.
In the summer of 1942, Japanese sergeant Kawaguchi Akiaki, the Japanese police chief of the Minfeng Police Station of the pseudo-Shin-Kyo-ho-shun District Police Station, took the pseudo-police to check on health. Zhou Wenzhong's wife, who was mending clothes at the door, hurried into the house to sweep a few times, and when she picked up the rag, the Japanese police had already entered the house. Kawaguchi wore white gloves and touched the edge of the door, stained with a star of dust, he "snapped" and slapped Zhou's wife a few times, and then kicked with leather boots. Then, he ordered the police to take her outside and forced her to kneel on the road to show her. After several hours of exposure, Zhou's wife fell to the ground and died.
Gu Changchun recalled: *The schools in Xinjing invariably sent a Japanese person as the principal or vice principal, mostly by "soldiers in the township". The japanese vice principal of our school is called Matsuo, who also teaches Japanese, and is short but violent. The mouth of the teacher who hit "ManShi" could not reach it, so he jumped up and beat it, resembling "Qiu Ba". It was only that instead of holding a bayonet in his hand, he was yelling and cursing with a stick, and it was his regular classroom behavior to tyranny against his students in a perverted manner. When the sun was scorching, he blasted the students out of the classroom for no reason. Some students fainted and were not allowed to be helped by their classmates. In the bitter winter cold, he forced the students to take off their cotton shirts and take off their hats. Freeze half a class in the playground and laugh.
The above is Japan's "sunburning". Compared with the sunburn, there is a more brutal punishment, which we often see on TV, that is, the "tiger stool".
There are two kinds of tiger stools in the Japanese pseudo-wooden punishment class, one is a special wooden stool that binds "prisoners", which is "meter-shaped". Used in the Lushun Penal Office in Japan, it is an auxiliary tool of torture.
The other is to tie the upper body and thighs of the tortured person to a stool and fix it. The torture of adding bricks under the calves to strain the ligaments of the victim and break the calf. This kind of torture was widespread in Japan during the puppet and contemporaneous periods, and it was a torture device in the true sense of the word. There is also a kind of golden punishment tiger stool that we will introduce in detail later.
In the winter of 1935, Song Dianshuang, a traffic officer of the Tangyuan County CPC Committee, deputy commander of the Yubara Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps (the predecessor of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Sixth Army), and the uncle of Li Guilan, a female soldier of the Sixth Army of the Anti-Japanese Coalition, was followed and arrested by traitor agents while buying medicine for the troops in Jiamusi. In the Japanese gendarmerie, Song Dianshuang was tortured and tortured, and the Japanese and pseudo thugs hung him and dipped his leather whip in cold water. The soldering iron scorched his skin layer after layer. He passed out again and again, and was woken up by buckets of cold water. Song Dianshuang remained silent, and finally the Japanese gendarmes tied him to a bench and added bricks to his feet. Song Dianshuang understood that this was the inhumane tiger stool.
"Say it or not, what kind of work are you doing?" A Japanese gendarme roared wildly, and Song Dianshuang gritted his teeth and glared at him with wide eyes, but still did not say a word. "Bricks, bricks!" The Japanese gendarme shouted with all his might. The third brick was added. The pain, the immense pain, was unbearable. Song Dianshuang's face changed shape. At this time, a traitorous agent came over. "Cough, why bother, say it!" Add a brick, both eyes will be broken, you are a waste! "
"Yuck!" A mouthful of bloody spit spat into the face of this traitor agent. "Eight gags, add bricks, add!" The fourth brick was added. Just listening to the sound of "click", Song Dianshuang's two legs were folded in unison. Song Dianshuang suddenly passed out again, and before dawn Song Dianshuang stopped breathing, and the murderous enemy put him into a sack and threw him into the ice cave of the Songhua River. Song Dianshuang was only 40 years old at the time of his death.
One morning in early June 1937, Sui Xuemin, a clerk at a fire equipment store in The Liu family at Shahekou, Dalian, was arrested by the Japanese police at the Dalian Grand Square Police Station under the pretext of "doing things for the Eighth Route Army" and tortured him with cold water and pepper water to force him to confess to "crimes." A month later, he was sent to the Lushun Penal Office. The next day began to pass the church.
On June 3, 1974, Sui Xuemin said: "Start using soft ones. Later, when he didn't know what to do, he tied me to a tiger stool and beat me severely (note: at this time, Sui Xuemin let us see the Dao Dao hernia on his ass). When you are unconscious, you will wake up with water and continue to fight. They are a dozen every other day, called 'uncovering the knot'. In a month they can play for half a month. I was held for three months, beaten for a full month and a half, and then beaten so badly that I couldn't move. ”！
The above two kinds of punishment are only two of the many tortures of the Japanese army, and many of them are not wanted to mention, and when looking back at history, it brings too many psychological shocks to everyone. Now people can't imagine that level of cruelty at all, but these are all facts, and they are all ironclad evidence of the crimes of the Japanese army.
