14. Commander Of the Auxiliary Chuan Army and the governor of Gaoyi Han traitor county
The person wearing the long coat next to the devil in the middle of the front row (pointed by the arrow) should be Zhao Zainan, the governor of the Han traitor county.
In early November 1937, the Gaoyi County Han Traitor Maintenance Association headed by Zhao Zainan appeared on the scene. After the Japanese army occupied the city, they bribed Zhao Zainan, a native of Xiliangzhuang in the county and former chairman of the Kuomintang Gaoyi County Chamber of Commerce, and cobbled together the Han traitor regime, the Gaoyi County Maintenance Association, to serve it. President Zhao Zainan, other members include Chen Xuexue, Liu Chunming, Ma Qingyun, Lü Shaojiang, Violent Qingxing, Li Shouhai, Wang Miantang, Li Qingcheng and other more than 20 people.
In March 1938, Zhao Zainan, the chairman of the Han traitor regime in Gaoyi County, was officially appointed as the "governor" of Gaoyi County by the Japanese army invading China, becoming the first Han traitor county magistrate in Gaoyi County.
On August 28, 1955, Zhao Zainan, a traitor who had served as the governor of Nichio County and the chief of the county police, was arrested and brought to justice, and on October 16, the county people's court sentenced him to death, and he fell ill and died before execution.
Gao Yujia and Zhang Quanben also served as pseudo-county magistrates.

16. This is a commemorative album of photographs of Japanese devils invading China
This is a photo album taken by the Japanese army in various cities and counties in North China that year, some of which were taken in Gaoyi, and the shooting time was about 1937-1938. The original photographs were taken by the 38th Wing of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army that occupied Gaoyi that year, and later the Japanese army compiled these photos into an army commemorative book and distributed them to the soldiers of the unit, one for each person, and there was no sale outside.
At that time, the devil's army was much better equipped than the Chinese army, and the devils were equipped with cameras in each squad (the Chinese troops could not do it!). ), take photos everywhere you go.
The 16th Division is the unit that participated in the Nanjing Massacre, the 38th Wing is an infantry company, because the source of the soldiers is Nara, so it is also called the Nara Wing, the photo shooting time should be around 1937-1938, because the 38th Wing's wing leader at this time is Kondo Shizuji, and the Kondo unit in the photo can be paired with the number.
At that time, the Japanese army had the habit of issuing its own army commemorative books, and the Nara Wing was also a combat unit that rushed to the front line, and naturally it was inevitable to issue a commemorative book of troops, and every time the devils occupied a city, they always liked to take a bunch of photos to make a commemorative book to show off.
---------------------------------------- Memorabilia of the Fall of Gaoyi -------------------------------------------
In 1937, the "July 7 Incident" broke out.

Destroy the city walls, dismantle the turrets and blow up the water towers. By the end of September, not only had the Gaoyi city wall been completely bulldozed (at this time the city wall had been mostly demolished), all the turrets had been demolished, the water towers of the railway station had been blown up, and all the buildings in the major villages and towns that could have been used by the enemy had been demolished. Suppression of traitors. In order to stabilize the people's hearts, stabilize social order, and crack down on the activities of the enemy and the special forces, the anti-Japanese government of Gaoyi County, after liberating Gaoyi, successively held mass meetings in Pudi, Ximaxian, Xifu Village, and other villages, and publicly suppressed a number of traitors who committed the most heinous crimes and were extremely indignant.

2. The Gaoyi East Pagoda Shadow Massacre made by the Japanese army
On October 13, 1937, the Japanese invaders came to Gaoyi along the Beijing-Hankou Railway, burned and committed adultery, and did all the bad things, causing great hatred among the local people.
Dongta Ying Village is not far from Gaoyi Railway Station.
Official version:
On December 19, when two Japanese troops stationed at The Gaoyi Railway Station went to Dongtaying to commit misdeeds, they were killed by villagers and thrown into a well. The Japanese troops at Gaoyi Railway Station learned that two Japanese soldiers were missing, that is, they went to Dongtaying to search for them on the evening of the same day, and because they were not found, they arrested five villagers, of which except one escaped on the way, and the other four were buried alive by the Japanese army.
On the morning of December 20, the Japanese army surrounded Dongtaying again, seized the villagers for interrogation, and imprisoned them in the Land Temple. When the Japanese found the bodies of the two Japanese soldiers in a well, they poisoned the villagers. They tied up 32 villagers and dragged them north of the street, pushed them into a large well, and then threw grinding fans and lukes into the well, and threw firewood into the well. The 32 villagers were attacked by drowning, smashing and burning, unable to survive and dying in pain. At the same time, the Japanese army also killed six villagers. In the evening, the Japanese set fire to the houses and looted them, and the brutal activities lasted for four or five days before they ended. In the Dongtaying Massacre, the Japanese army killed 42 villagers, burned 500 houses, and robbed most of them.
Legendary Edition:
On December 19 (the 17th day of the 17th lunar month), when two Japanese troops stationed at Gaoyi Railway Station went to Dongtaying to commit a crime, one of them was killed by the villagers and thrown into a well, and the other was injured and fled. After receiving the report, the devils mobilized a large number of troops to take revenge on the slaughter of the village.
There is a dongdaying village a few miles away from the east taying village, because of the translation error, the Japanese army rushed to the east camp first to retaliate. After discovering the mistake, the Japanese army rushed to Dongtaying the next day (the eighteenth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar) to carry out the massacre of the village in retaliation. Unable to find anyone who killed the Japanese soldiers, the devils burned down all the more than 500 houses around the site where the soldiers were killed, and pushed more than forty men, women and children (including 3 people who rushed to gather and walked with relatives) into a well. Then, the mill is pushed into the well and the lit firewood is thrown into the well. Since then, the East Pagoda Shadow Village has been disconnected from the middle and divided into two parts: East and West.
(On October 13, 1937, the Japanese Kou occupied Gaoyi City, and on December 19, two devils went to Dongzhang Village to look for women to vent their desires, only to find Zhang Shi Yan's wife, who was raping, and just when Zhang Shi Yan came back to see it, he could not stop his anger, so he beat the two Japanese Kou to death with a hoe.) Later, rikou learned that he had sent troops to surround the village and captured more than 30 people and drowned in a well. At that time, there was a hero who risked death, saying that two villages were built together, which saved half of the East Taying Village, otherwise the whole village might be burned down. ）
