On May 6, 1940 (March 29th day of the lunar calendar), on the second day of the temple fair held in Simen Village, Fangcheng County. There were two major shows on the main venue of the temple fair, one in front of the temple, facing south and north, and the audience was in the square in front of the temple. To the west of the main venue is a department store and a farm tool market. On the outside, there are food sellers, storytellers, tricks, etc. There was a constant stream of burning incense, and the hall was filled with incense and smoke.
Ten thousand people are rushing to the meeting every day, the sound of musical instruments on the stage, the hawking sounds on the stalls, and the audience's "noise" The sound can be heard one or two miles away. However, who would have thought that a major disaster was about to come.
Around 10 o'clock in the morning, the venue was already crowded. At this time, an airplane coated with a plaster flag was buzzing from the southeast. In that chaotic year, people were worried and even panicked when they heard the sound of the plane.
A riot immediately appeared in the venue, and some people began to leave the meeting. But the plane above their heads seemed to ignore the crowds on the venue, and passed by the venue as if nothing had happened. People breathed a sigh of relief, and the commotion venue calmed down again.
However, unexpected things happened, and the plane only flew out. It quickly turned back and flew over the venue. At this time, people were stunned, as if even the children stopped crying. In an instant, with a heart-wrenching roar, the plane dived down and dropped six giant sin bombs at the dense crowd and the unarmed people.
With the deafening explosion, the venue suddenly filled with gunpowder, and within a few miles, the smell of blood and gunpowder. People screamed in fear, cursed, and crowded, and the Shuang adult group ran away from all directions.
However, the brutal Japanese invaders did not stop their sinful actions. The plane circled and shot a string of sinful bullets at the scattered people...
News of the Japanese plane bombing the temple fair was spread to various villages as the escaped scattered and fleeing people rushed to the venue from all directions, crying and looking for their relatives in the choking smell of gunpowder and bloody smell.
Near the six craters on the venue, on the treetops and on the temple walls, and in the wheat fields around the venue, there were bloodstains and fragments of clothes everywhere. The treetops of a big poplar tree on the venue were mostly cut off, and a big braid was hung on the tree branch.
on the ground all over the ground were missing arms and legs, there was a corpse, the limbs were blown off, and the face was blurred. Only from the petals and tops could it be identified as a girl.
htm There is a man named Yang on Zhiping Street who sold eye drops in front of the temple. The body was blown away. His wife cried and searched the entire venue. She only found one leg. She recognized the shoes she made with her own hands from the foot. She decided that the leg belonged to her husband. She wrapped the leg with a broken shed cloth and held it in her arms. She cried to death. The tragic phenomenon was unbearable.
More than 400 people died in this tragedy, and more than 200 people were injured. The bodies that relatives could claim were transported away that day. The unclaimed and unrecognizable bodies were buried in a pit behind the Taishan Temple. This bombing, within a radius of 10 or 20 miles, there were casualties in almost every village. For a moment, the crying sounds in the villages and new graves were everywhere.
