No one could have imagined that in the city's Red Cross Hospital, the vice president first murdered the president, and in the following hours, led more than 100 medical staff to brutally murder 153 sick and wounded patients.

February 2, 1946 is the eve of the Lunar New Year and the first year of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Tonghua City is filled with joyful atmosphere. No one could have imagined that in the city's Red Cross Hospital, the vice president first murdered the president, and in the following hours, led more than 100 medical staff to brutally murder 153 sick and wounded patients.

The Red Cross Hospital was originally the Japanese Kwantung Military Hospital stationed in the Northeast. Most of its medical staff were Japanese and all had military ranks.

After the Japanese surrender, the hospital was taken over by our army. This group of former male and female military officers expressed their intention to change their minds and turn over a new leaf and stay in the Northeast to serve the Chinese people.

Due to the advanced facilities of this hospital and the superb medical skills of the doctors, most of the cadres and soldiers of our army who were injured in the frontline battles in Shenyang and Jinzhou were sent here to recuperate.

Dean Jinye is a kind-hearted senior intellectual. He has made an appointment with the wounded to have New Year's Eve dinner together in the evening. At this time, the phone in the office suddenly rang.

Vice President Shibata invited Kaneno to come to his office and introduce his "sister-in-law" Kono Yuha to Kaneno. After the three people chatted enthusiastically for a while, Kono Yuha handed over a cup of fragrant coffee. Soon after Kaneno drank it, his body convulsed and he fell on the sofa and died.

It turns out that the Kuomintang agents colluded with the remnants of the Kwantung Army and planned to launch a large-scale rebellion in Tonghua at 4 o'clock in the morning on February 3 (the first day of the Lunar New Year). The Red Cross Hospital admitted many soldiers of our army , has also become a key target of the enemy.

Vice President Captain Shibata is an out-and-out military fanatic. Like many Japanese, he simply cannot accept the news of Japan's defeat and surrender, and always dreams of restoring the "glory" of the Kwantung Army. So he accepted the commission and planned a bloody killing in the hospital.

In Shibata’s eyes, Dean Kaneno is the biggest stumbling block. He loved peace and would not agree to this conspiracy at all, so Shibata teamed up with the female spy Kono Xiongbo who had sneaked into Tonghua a few days ago to kill Jin Ye.

The hospital area was quiet late at night. Next to the eerie morgue, there was a lonely laboratory. This was the command post arranged by Shibata. He divided the more than 400 male and female officers who had been collected in advance into three groups, with Maeda, Saito, and Shimada in charge respectively, and prepared to use various cruel and inhumane methods to kill the wounded and sick patients of the Eighth Route Army in the entire hospital.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, Kono Yuha changed into a nurse's uniform, divided the poison into 120 packets, and took the lead in attacking the sick and wounded.

At this time, all the lights in each ward were turned off, and most of the wounded fell into a deep sleep.

htmlThe four wounded in Ward No. 07 are battalion commander Li Tongxian, platoon leader Zhang Huamin, soldiers Li Xiaoli and Zhang Dong. In order to celebrate the Spring Festival, they played poker in the middle of the night and slept for less than half an hour.

Vice President Shibata was on guard outside. Kono Yuha turned on the light, pushed Li Xiaoli up in bed No. 1 with a medicine tray, and handed him a bag of poison.

Li Xiaoli, who was in a daze, took the medicine and put it in his mouth. Kono Yuha "kindly" handed over a glass of water. After seeing Li Xiaoli take the medicine, she went to push Zhang Huamin, the platoon leader, who was sleeping in bed No. 2.

Battalion Commander Li Tongxian couldn't fall asleep after finishing the card game. After the lights came on, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was 2:45. It wasn't even time to take medicine?

Li Tongxian was an old Eighth Route Army member who participated in the war in 1938 and was very vigilant. He turned over and took a look at Li Xiaoli, and found that he had a lot of foam around his mouth, his face was pale, and he was lying motionless on the bed, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Huamin was about to take the medicine under Kono Yuha's persuasion. Li Tongxian sat up and said, "Wait a moment."

He put on his shoes and twisted Kono Yuha's arm: "Why haven't I seen this before? "What medicine are you taking before 6 o'clock?"

Kono Xiongbo didn't expect anyone to question his identity, and he immediately panicked: "I just graduated from Xinjing Medical School and came here for an internship. I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough time, so I took the medicine in advance." ."

At this time, the door opened, and Vice President Shibata called out: "Xiongbo, call, please take medicine after 6 o'clock. "

After they turned around and left, Li Tongxian and Zhang Huamin came to Li Xiaoli's bed and found that he had stopped breathing and vomited a bunch of foam beside the bed.

Before the two of them could figure it out, they saw the light above their heads flashing. After three blows, they were all extinguished, and the whole ward was dark. Three long whistles of "beep, beep, beep, beep" were heard from outside, followed by the sound of continuous footsteps and the sound of men. Women screamed.

Shimada led more than 40 female doctors and nurses and began to kill the sick and wounded in the hospital.

html Battalion Commander Li Tongxian, platoon leader Zhang Huamin, and soldier Zhang Dong of Ward 07 were all dressed. The noise in the corridor, the lights going out, and Li Xiaoli's death made them realize that someone was carrying out assassination or revenge, but they couldn't figure out what was going on for the moment. ml3

Li Tongxian took out a small pistol, which the guard secretly left for him when he was hospitalized. He quietly went out with the gun, wanting to see what was going on outside.

Suddenly, Room 10 was not far from Room 7. A flashlight flashed out of the room, and three people ran out. Li Tongxian had no time to return to his room, so he had to duck into the women's restroom

. The leaders of the three people were the head nurse Etsuko and the 19-year-old nurse Achun. As soon as they heard the whistle for action, they rushed to Ward 10, where three seriously injured patients lived. The squad leader Huang Yushan was beaten on the arm. Broken, he was wearing splint and hanging with a bandage. Another soldier Wu Yuchang had his left leg amputated. Warrior King Yi was shot in the abdomen, and it was very difficult to move.

The vicious Etsuko took a fruit knife in her hand and suddenly opened Wu Yuchang's quilt, shining a flashlight on his aorta, and blood spurted out. She wiped her face with her hands, and her face was covered with blood, even her eyelashes were stained with blood.

Then, she stabbed Wu Yuchang a second time, and then used a knife. The quilt covered him and pressed his body hard on it.

Wu Yuchang was bleeding profusely and couldn't breathe. After two or three minutes,

squad leader Huang Yushan suddenly screamed. He got up, but one of his hands was still hanging on his neck and it was very difficult to move. At this time, Ah Chun viciously stabbed his throat twice with surgical scissors. Huang Yushan was in pain. He fell to the ground in a pool of blood.

Wang Yi's experience was even more tragic. He was pushed to the ground by Etsuko and Achun and strangled to death.

After the female demons finished killing the people, they were still in shock, but their momentum became high. With great energy, they headed towards Ward 7 where Li Tongxian was located.

Li Tongxian had already ducked into Ward No. 10 to check the situation. As soon as he entered the room, he felt that his feet were wet and there was blood when he touched it with his hands. When he saw that the three people were dead, he immediately judged that it was caused by the enemy. Destruction.

Without any time to think, Li Tongxian followed the three demons to his ward, and saw Etsuko lifting Zhang Huamin's quilt and preparing to cut his artery with a scalpel.

Zhang Huamin, who was well prepared, was wearing thick clothes and it was very difficult to cut the artery. At this time, Li Tongxian raised his gun and shot Etsuko on the head, and the female devil fell to the ground immediately.

Zhang Huamin waved his hand and punched Achun down again.

Another female nurse was so frightened that she threw away her scissors and ran away. Soldier Zhang Dong tripped her up with a sweeping kick. The two women were tied up tightly.

Li Tongxian and three others immediately went to other wards to rescue their comrades. However, in just 40 minutes, the enemy used scalpels and surgical scissors to kill 153 of our sick and wounded. The ward was full of blood and corpses. .

Next to another house, two other groups led by Maeda and Saito launched an attack on the hospital staff and the local Korean volunteers.

The Korean volunteers stationed at the hospital only have one squad and are unable to fight against hundreds of Japanese soldiers. At this time, Captain Gao Yingxi of the 5th Company of the 1st Battalion of the Nanman Detachment led a company of more than 100 people into the hospital.

Unexpectedly, the enemy opened fire suddenly, and the company commander Gao Yingxi and division chief who rushed to the front of the team were both injured. Upon seeing this, the soldiers immediately lay down on the ground and shot at the enemy.

When the enemy saw that the firepower was too fierce, they couldn't resist it, so they threw down a few corpses and ran towards the courtyard. After a fierce battle, the hospital was finally under control. More than 80 enemies died and more than 30 people were taken prisoners. Female spy Kono Yuha was also killed. Vice President Shibata fled in panic with more than 30 medical staff.

In addition to hospitals, the party and government agencies and detachment headquarters in Tonghua City are also key targets of the enemy's attack.

The main figures who planned this rebellion were Kuomintang agent Sun Gengyao and Japanese Kwantung Army officer Fujita Sanehiko.

On January 15, 1946, Sun Gengyao and Fujita Sanehiko held a secret meeting at home and established the so-called "Military Recruitment Committee." Sun Gengyao received activity funds from his superiors, instructed Masahiko Fujita to recruit more than 3,000 Japanese Kwantung Army members, and promised to allocate another 10 million yuan to Masahiko Fujita after the incident was completed.

At that time, Tonghua was a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and various forces were intertwined. After some activities of the two people, a team of 13,000 people was actually formed.

The main force of our army is suppressing bandits in the mountains. There are only more than 500 regular troops in the city, and the rest are civilian personnel. The situation is very urgent.

Sun Gengyao was well versed in the essence of espionage activities. Through inducement, intimidation and other methods, he mobilized many people working in the agency to act as insiders, and planned to cooperate inside and outside.

It's a pity that he calculated well, but because he chose the wrong target to instigate rebellion, his plan was exposed in advance.

Liu Zizhou, a traitor leader under Sun Gengyao, planned to use his relatives to instigate rebellion against Shen Diaokai, chief of the supply section of the Ministry of Ordnance and Industry of the Liaodong Military Region. Shen Diakai followed his plan and immediately reported to his superiors after finding out Sun Gengyao's detailed plan.

Provincial Party Committee Director Wu Jizhi held an emergency meeting and decided to immediately arrest the leading saboteurs Sun Gengyao and Fujita Sanehiko.

Wu Gaizhi

Before the rebellion began, Sun Gengyao was arrested and brought to justice, but Fujita Sanehiko was very cunning and has never been found.

In order to confuse the enemy, Tonghua City's Spring Festival Gala was performed normally on New Year's Eve. All leading cadres attended, and the Grand Guangming Theater was crowded with people. No one among the citizens would believe that there was going to be a bloody battle after midnight.

As soon as the performance ended, Mayor Fan Pengfei returned to the office and called to direct the mobilization of troops.

At the corner of the door, his secretary Li Guitian looked furtively into the office.

Li Guitian had long been assimilated by the enemy under the temptation of money, and also dragged two of the mayor's guards into the water. This time he received secret instructions to force the mayor to surrender. If he refused to surrender, he would get rid of the mayor.

After Mayor Fan Pengfei put down the phone, Li Guitian winked at the two guards. The three men took out their guns and rushed to the mayor: "If you want to live, surrender, if you don't surrender, I will kill you immediately."

Fan Pengfei smiled lightly. He smiled: "Don't be too happy too early, we have been prepared for a long time."

At this time, the door was knocked open, and 6 guardsmen rushed in with guns in hand. The 3 traitors were subdued before they could react. .

Before the rebellion began, more than 170 potential insiders were uncovered.

At 4 o'clock in the morning on February 3, the lights in Tonghua Mountain City suddenly flashed three times, and the whole city was plunged into darkness. After three long whistles, the rebellion between Chiang Kai-shek, Japan and the puppets colluded, which shocked China and the world.

800 Japanese Kwantung Army soldiers, led by captain Terada, rushed over the mountains and ridges towards the detachment headquarters.

The combat strength of the Kwantung Army cannot be underestimated. When he arrived 40 meters in front of the headquarters, Terada divided the team into two, with one part attacking the courtyard from the left, while he himself led the team to attack from the main entrance.

However, Terada did not expect that a position had already been set up with straw bales in the compound, bundles of ammunition were placed on the position, and guns were mounted on the windows of the building.

Because there was no fire cover and the terrain was unfavorable, the Kwantung Army charged three times and was repulsed. It lost nearly half of its troops and could only escape in despair.

After Director Wu Jizhi issued an order for the party, government, military and civilians to jointly counterattack, the battle situation changed from defense to proactive attack. Tonghua detachment, special agency guard company, workers' self-defense force, Korean volunteer army and other units rushed out of their positions from all directions to attack the enemy group. .

In just two hours, the rebellion was put down, more than 1,000 people were killed, and more than 3,000 were captured.

But until after the war, there was still no trace of the second leader, Fujita Masahiko.

Fujita Masahiko after being captured

It turned out that just one and a half hours before the rebellion started, Fujita Masahiko handed a written secret order to the messenger, but it was intercepted by our army, including the person and the letter.

Fujita Sanehiko waited until almost 3:30, but still did not see the messenger come back. At this time, there was only half an hour left before the agreed rebellion. He had a premonition that the situation was not good, so he ran to the ceiling of his subordinate Piao Lin's house and hid in it.

On the morning of February 3, the order to capture Fujita Sanehiko came. Gao Yingxi, commander of the 5th company of the Korean Volunteer Army, surrounded the Japanese residential area and conducted house-to-house searches.

The appearance of Fujita Masahiko has been mastered by the soldiers. He is short, bald, black beard, and full of wrinkles. No matter how cunning a fox is, he has never been able to fight against a good hunter. When his hiding place was discovered, Fujita Masahiko obediently took the bait. captive.

Shibata and other seven people who escaped after committing crimes in the hospital were also caught. From then on, Tonghua became peaceful and became a reliable rear for the victory of the Northeast Liberation War and the National Liberation War.
