Nowadays, Japan is a nation with many etiquettes, but behind these manners is the face of the devil. During the Japanese invasion of China, the crimes committed by the Japanese army were too numerous to mention. For the first time, they allowed the world to see how terrible human nature is when it loses its restraints. At the same time, it also allowed us to see The barbarism and cruelty behind the politeness of the Japanese nation. The Nanjing Massacre, 731 Troop, comfort women, and the Port Arthur Massacre, etc., are all demonic acts that have broken the bottom line of mankind. In addition to these, the Japanese army massacred and raped women almost every day in the occupied areas. This is It is also a rare cruelty in human history.
After the 1937 Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Japan felt that the equipment of the Chinese army was far behind the Japanese army. The Japanese army won almost every first few wars, which greatly increased the Japanese confidence. They felt that the Chinese army was vulnerable and arrogant. He proposed a plan to "annihilate China in three months", and then sent a large number of troops southward in an attempt to move closer to the Central Plains from Shanghai, hoping to connect the Japanese troops in China into one, which could make up for the lack of troops. And China did not sit still. Chiang Kai-shek assembled 800,000 troops in Shanghai to stop the Japanese army from marching north to the Central Plains. This was the famous Battle of Songhu. Unfortunately, due to Chiang Kai-shek's wrong command and the poor equipment of the national army, the Battle of Songhu ended in The battle ended in defeat. Subsequently, the Japanese troops invaded Nanjing in three groups. Chiang Kai-shek evacuated to Chongqing when he could no longer guard Nanjing. In order to retaliate for the resistance of the Chinese army, the Japanese army began a massacre after entering Nanjing. 300,000 compatriots died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army did not simply massacre. They killed people in various ways just to get fun from it, such as killing competitions, using live people as targets to practice assassination, putting everyone in a room and setting them on fire, burying them alive, etc., as long as They tried everything they could think of on living people. According to the accounts of veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, the most terrifying of these methods was to bury them alive. Generally, the Japanese army asked the people to dig holes themselves and then let them jump into the pits. The Japanese soldiers then filled the holes with soil until the soil was buried deep into the human body. Then the Japanese soldiers started jumping around and stamping the soil tightly. Some of the buried people would die due to the squeezing. Brown corpse spots would appear on the exposed upper body, and their faces would turn pale. His eyes were full of blood and resentment, and looked quite scary.
What's more, in November 1937, the Japanese army included "direct air strikes on citizens and causing terror" into the "Law on the Use of Air Forces". This was the first time in the history of human war that a country's laws stipulated that it could be used during wartime. Designating civilians and streets as targets for air strikes is a completely anti-human act, and it also illustrates the barbarity of the Japanese nation. According to veterans, the Japanese army is not as easy to deal with as in anti-Japanese dramas. Their individual combat skills are very powerful. Every ambush is very successful as long as the exchange rate of 1:1 is reached. Moreover, the Japanese army uses air superiority. Every time the Japanese army drops a bomb, The soldiers on the ground could only watch, unable to do anything.
At the same time, our army's equipment is so poor that we can only use all available weapons at the first time. After that, the reserve team will have no guns to use, and even if they do, they will only have twenty or even five rounds of ammunition. If When the Japanese army rushed over, what our army faced was a massacre. Most of the soldiers were killed because they had no weapons. The most uncomfortable thing in the battle was watching comrades and brothers block bullets for themselves. That feeling was worse than death. Every time During the battle, as long as you can hear the sound of the 79 rifle, you can comfort yourself. At least there are comrades fighting with you. Only strong-willed and experienced soldiers can persevere.
The most tragic thing is that sometimes we have surrounded the enemy, but because the equipment is so poor, we often need death squads full of bombs to charge and die together with the Japanese army. Among these death squads, the Sichuan Army was the most courageous, often launching suicide attacks as a whole regiment, so that later the Japanese soldiers trembled when they saw the Sichuan Army. Maybe the people were happy to talk about the heroic deeds of the soldiers, but the joy of victory was not with them, because they saw Passed through the mountains of blood and bones of too many comrades.Our final victory over the invaders was not just the sacrifice of those vigorous heroes, but also the unknown little people, because at that time, when many lost towns were retaken, you will find that there is no one inside. The massacre by the Japanese army was actually a battle with the Japanese army. This is the cruelty of war, which cannot be explained clearly in a few strokes in history books.
So there are no peaceful years. It is the revolutionary ancestors who have shouldered everything with their lives. They have endured too much cruelty that we cannot understand. Today's peace and happiness are hard to come by, and we must cherish them even more. It can only be said that we are lagging behind and being beaten. We must remember history and forge ahead, and we must not let this prosperous age live up to the expectations of our ancestors.
