On the night of July 7, 1937, when the Japanese army was exercising near the Lugou Bridge in the southwest of Beiping, under the pretext of a soldier "missing", they asked to enter the county town of Wanping to search, but the 29th Army of the Chinese defenders strictly refused. The Japanese then opened fire on the Chinese defenders and shelled the city of Wanping. The 29th Army rose up to resist the war, known in history as the Lugou Bridge Incident. Since then, the Japanese army has opened the prelude to an all-round invasion of China.
Soon, the flames of war burned throughout China. Guangzhou, the most important city in southern China, could not escape the fate of being bombed.
On September 22, 1937, Japanese planes took turns bombing Guangzhou, and xicun si in xishan district was bombed by Japanese aircraft.
The bombing was followed by a mess.
The boats near the Haizhu Bridge were bombed by the Japanese, and the picture shows some of the boats that were sunk or destroyed.
When we go to Haizhu Bridge again, can we remember that our ancestors suffered this heavy historical pain for us?
After the fall of Guangzhou, corpses were strewn across the wilderness.
The brutality of the Japanese army and the ruthlessness of the war can be interpreted vividly by this picture.
On November 24, 1937, the Protective Regiment Rescue Guard carried out emergency rescue in the disaster area of Henan, Guangzhou.
There are corpses everywhere, where to save them?
On June 6, 1938, the Japanese bombed Hui'ai West Road in Huifu District, showing the dead in a corner of the disaster area.
This is our ancestors, the hatred of history, which can never be forgotten.
Mother and son under enemy aircraft bombardment.
The mother may have been killed, and the child's eyes have been on the mother, never leaving half a minute.
A child who was killed while taking refuge in Lychee Bay LingYuan.
Such a small victim was also a pistachio at home, and it was the hope of the nation. The paper on the child's body should be a message such as the name or the place of death.
Chinese soldiers captured after the battle of Shahe Lane.
Look at the soldier's expression, although he was captured and lying on the ground, his expression did not yield.
Guangzhou was one of the cities most heavily bombed by Japanese aircraft in the country, and the picture shows the bombed points marked on the latest road map of Guangzhou at that time.
The dense purple dots on the map, each of which is a scar of history.
Map of population changes before and after the fall of Guangzhou.
The population is falling off a cliff, and these declines are not data, but living life, our ancestors.
After the fall of Guangzhou, a large number of refugees poured into Hong Kong for refuge.
Temporarily avoided war, but what was life like next? Where to go, they have no final conclusion in their minds.
The smile of the woman in the crowd was particularly striking, perhaps thankful for the rest of her life, hoping that she had indeed received peace and happiness.
A mother and son in the process of fleeing.
Both the mother and the child look sad, even miserable. In your hand, you may be the only remaining belongings.
Refugees in Hong Kong and Guangzhou are in dire need of relief.
Temporarily escaping the chaos of the war, followed by the survival problem.
After the fall of Guangzhou, there is a shortage of materials, and the picture shows the citizens rushing to buy goods.
The majority of those who fail to escape are facing an even greater existential crisis – a shortage of supplies.
Refugees in Guangzhou receive rice
It is not known what agency is distributing relief food. Seeing this scene, I deeply felt the importance of peace and tranquility.
The Aiqun Grand Hotel under japanese occupation.
The Japanese occupied the Guangdong provincial government and planted a sun flag at the gate.
This is the national shame, the blood stain of history.
During the Japanese occupation of Guangzhou, a barber shop opened by a traitor in Guangzhou openly typed the words "Welcome to the Imperial Army", and two women stood at the door to solicit customers
There is no shortage of historical heroes in any period, and there is no shortage of such traitors. In the face of the great national righteousness and the survival of the country, everyone must stand up to defend the country, rather than betraying the country and seeking glory in this way. The woman in the picture has a dusty face and is waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.
The personnel concerned registered the migrant refugees in Guangzhou during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
The picture should be the Japanese army, registered household registration, can be more deeply controlled and plundered by the people.
Cherish today's peaceful and tranquil life, in the midst of war, no one can be alone. At the same time, I also hope that compatriots will not forget the blood stains of history and the hatred of the nation.
