The Nanjing Massacre is a heavy topic and a pain remembered in the Chinese era, 340,000 innocent Chinese girls died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army, and the property losses were billions of dollars. Faced with this crime, the Japanese army said that this was normal war casualty data. It's infuriating but helpless.
Now that people recall the Nanjing Massacre again, they will wonder why the Captured Soldiers did not resist and why the people did not resist when the Japanese army that attacked Nanjing had only a hundred thousand troops, but it could cause so much damage.
At the time of the fall of Nanking, there was a scene in which 5 Japanese soldiers, holding 2,000 prisoners, but none of them resisted, which has become a point of controversy today.
Today we will discuss this issue in depth.
The soldiers lost their fighting spirit and automatically became prisoners.
After the End of the Battle of Songhu that year, in the face of a fiasco, the Nationalist troops had lost their fighting spirit, and with one retreat order after another, many troops stationed in Nanjing were all withdrawn.
But in the process of their withdrawal, the Japanese army has reached, in order to avoid the Japanese pursuit, these officers and soldiers pretend to be civilians and hide in the homes of civilians.
Even some Chinese soldiers took the initiative to line up to throw away their guns and surrender, and no one resisted the whole time.
After taking control of the city of Nanjing, faced with the method of how to deal with the prisoners, the Japanese army adopted the method of massacre, they went door to door to search, and once found, they would shoot on the spot.
Even in the way of killing a thousand people by mistake, they will pay attention to the young and strong men among the civilian population, and when they see them, they will take them away, and this search and massacre lasted for a long time.
One by one, they took Chinese to the bank of the Yangtze River, shot and killed, and when they went down, the whole row of people fell, and the water by the river was stained red, and all they could see were corpses, not only young people but also old people and children.
As early as the Japanese army began to arrest a large number of young adults, the camp was already overcrowded, and the daily food of the prisoners of war was a large amount of material, so they shortened the food of the prisoners in the camp.
In order to save money, the massacre of prisoners began, so that even if an organized army became a prisoner, no one would dare to take the lead in resisting.
Resisted, but more people died
At that time, it was not that no one resisted, but if they resisted, more innocent people would die tragically under the guns of the Japanese army, and there was once a person who secretly ran to the Japanese dormitory and wanted revenge.
However, before he could act, he was discovered by the sentry, so he fled in a hurry, and the Japanese army immediately began to investigate, but the nearby houses were searched for people.
So they drove all the surrounding villagers together and then slaughtered them.
Another time, two Japanese soldiers went out and did not return to the team, the Japanese army began to look for it, rummaging through boxes and cabinets from house to house, seeing valuable things, and taking them all out.
Later, they saw a garbage heap, the smoke that the Japanese often smoked, and decided that the two soldiers were killed, so they gathered all the residents in the vicinity together.
Let them recruit who killed, if they don't, kill everyone, helplessly stand out of the crowd of five men, they are all involved in the action of killing the Japanese army.
Seeing the five men stand up, the Japanese immediately beat them to death with sticks.
This is the policy of the Japanese army, to completely suppress our will to resist with carnage.
On December 17, 1937, the Japanese sent two machine gun squads to escort more than 2,000 prisoners of war to the riverside, shooting and killing powerless prisoners along the way.
After reaching the riverside, they began to prepare to shoot, but that time all the prisoners of war rioted, they rushed to the Japanese army one by one, the first row fell, the second row would go up, and in such a riot, some of the prisoners of war jumped into the river, and some of them escaped.
This time some prisoners of war survived, resisting the idea that they might be able to survive, and thus spread in the camp, so the people in the camp prepared to riot again.
Who knew that this time the Japanese army was ready, they directly sprinkled kerosene on the ground, and when the prisoners of war rushed over, they lit a fire.
All the prisoners of war were killed in the sea of fire, and none of them were spared.
In that period, if there was a person who angered the Japanese army, the Japanese army would slaughter the entire village, and such phenomena abounded, which was the brutality of the Japanese army.
They still refuse to admit their mistakes, but what is even more ridiculous is that some people have forgotten the disasters of that year, forgotten the bloody lessons of that year, and blindly want to marry Japanese women, settle in Japan, and praise Japan.
What a ridiculous thing.
Of course, many people still have blood in their bones, never forget history, do not forget the pain of the year, in fact, no matter how good life is now, we cannot forget the disasters encountered by our ancestors!
