Chapter 34 4. Bloody winds all over Jinling

The massacre was brutally carried out in various parts of Nanjing. Every day and every night, tens of thousands of Chinese sons and daughters died tragically under the enemy's butcher's knife.After the machine gun fire, followed by a single shot and a bayonet stabbing, and finally pouring gasoline and burning the body to wipe out the traces.The butchers thought that by this method they could kill them all, leaving no one alive, thus covering up their heinous crimes forever. However, no matter how brutal the fascists are, there are always survivors in every massacre. They escaped the enemy's killing wittyly, survived tenaciously from desperation, and became witnesses of the eternal catastrophe.

Chen Degui, a resident of Erbanqiao in Xiaguan, Nanjing, is a survivor of the massacre.He was a well-built young man. On December 13, he heard that the Japanese devils had entered Nanjing City, and together with his family, he hurried to take refuge in "Heji" foreign firm.This is the place where foreigners lived, and it has become a place where thousands of Chinese refugees fled for their lives. On December 14, more than 200 Japanese soldiers came, and they searched and arrested many young and middle-aged men. Chen Degui was not spared, and was sent to a warehouse in the coal port. 3000 people.

The next morning, the Japanese army opened the warehouse, saying that they were going to send everyone out to work in batches of 10 people. Soon after the first batch went out, there was a burst of gunfire by the river.Chen Degui knew it was not good when he heard it, the devil soldiers were going to kill him.It was his turn in the third batch. He went out and looked towards the river, and he saw many corpses lying there.The ghost soldiers drove them to the river, and Chen Degui deliberately stood forward in the water.Just as the devil soldier raised his gun and was about to shoot, he plunged into the water, swam to the opposite bank, and quietly hid in the stomach of a train that had overturned in the river.

The sky was gloomy, the north wind was blowing, and the river was icy cold. Chen Degui squatted in the water, cold and hungry, shivering from time to time.There were bursts of gunshots from the other side, mixed with the cries, screams, and groans of his compatriots, which pierced him with fear, pain, and hatred. He gritted his teeth and stood silently, only feeling that this day Longer than his past twenty years.The sun went down the mountain one by one, and the sky gradually became dark. The Japanese devils drove all the remaining people to the river. Chen Degui watched quietly, and there were about six or seven hundred people. The devils then fired their machine guns. Shooting, those people fell forward in a row like cutting rice, and the painful cry was particularly piercing and shocking.It was not until late at night that the devil soldiers left that Chen Degui quietly climbed ashore.

Soldier Yin Youru is another survivor of the "Nanjing Massacre".Yin Youru was a defensive soldier of the Chinese Fort. On December 13, Yin Youru and more than 300 soldiers of the Fort were captured by the Japanese Nakajima troops near the Shangyuan Gate.The Japanese army tied them all up and detained them in the tile house of a family surnamed Hu. On the evening of the 15th, a small group of Japanese soldiers came to the place where they were held, yelled and drove them to the empty field next to the Shangyuan Gate. Many captured prisoners and civilians had gathered here. There were more than 9,000 people in the dark crowd people.A Japanese military officer issued a loud command, asking them to line up in a line of four and walk towards Shangyuan Gate.

Arriving at the riverside of the Yulei Camp, I saw Japanese soldiers jumping out of the cars one after another, with 4 machine guns staring at the river beach.The brothers at the fortress didn’t look well, and knew that the Japanese devils were going to commit a massacre. Everyone said angrily: “I knew the Japanese devils were so cruel, so I shouldn’t have put down my arms and fought with them!” It rang, and the crowd fell down in large swaths. Yin Youru fell to the bottom, his body was not injured, but there were many corpses on it, which made it difficult for him to breathe.He supported it with his hands desperately, leaving a little space for himself to breathe.The sound of machine guns gradually stopped, and painful moans continued to come from my ears.Blood flowed continuously from above, and some of it seeped into his neck and face, carrying an unpleasant smell of blood.

After a while, the machine guns rang again, with the sound of a single shot from a rifle.Then the ghost soldiers came to the pile of dead people, there was the sound of corpses turning over, and the sound of bayonet stabbing.Yin Youru closed his eyes tightly and lay upright, not daring to move.It wasn't until late at night that the Japanese soldiers blew their whistles and gathered to evacuate, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and Yin Youru took a deep breath. After a while, Yin Youru felt that the Japanese devils had indeed gone far away, so he rubbed away hard, gradually scraped out of the pile of corpses, and sat up with difficulty.The moonlight was hazy, everything was silent, Yin Youru looked around, and finally found a soldier standing up nearby, and hurriedly greeted him.The soldier immediately came over and helped Yin Youru untie the rope, telling him that his surname was Chen, a squad leader of the 36th Division.

The two walked slowly towards the bank stepping on the bloody pile of corpses. Along the way, they found some survivors. They counted nine people in total. Some of them were injured and survived. They helped to bandage and supported each other to escape from the massacre. field. On October 19, 1946, Yin Youru accused Ding Chenggang, the prosecutor of the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal, of the crime of massacring more than 9,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians by the Japanese invaders in the Torpedo Camp.As a witness and witness to the massacre at the Torpedo Battalion, his testimony naturally has unquestionable authenticity and authority.

The massacre was going on crazily throughout Nanjing. At the same time as the massacres in Yanziji, outside Hanzhong Gate, Zhongshan Wharf, and Caoxie Gorge, the Japanese army followed up with massacres in Zhonghua Gate, Shangxinhe, Fengtai Township, Huashen Temple, Jiangxi In Dongmen and many other places, brutal collective massacres were carried out on Chinese soldiers and civilians, and the bloody river of corpses and mountains of innocent souls spread blood and rain all over Jinling.Exactly how many massacre slaughterhouses there are, according to the survey and statistics in 1984 when the "Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall of the Victims by Japanese Invaders" was established, there are mainly 13, and new discoveries have been made one after another.The total number of compatriots killed in mass massacres and sporadic massacres, according to the investigation and statistics of the Nanjing Military Court after the war, "the total number of victims is more than 300,000."

This is the dawn of "co-prosperity" brought to East Asia by the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity" of Japanese imperialism; This appalling mass massacre took place under the order of the Japanese fascist militarism leader to "use terror to destroy the Chinese people's will to resist and force China to surrender". Gong Hatohiko once signed a top-secret order to "destroy after reading": "Kill all captives."Kagego Nakajima, head of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, also wrote in his diary on December 13, 1937: "Since the policy is to keep no captives in general, I decided to rush to a corner and solve them all."

The leaders of the fascist militarism attempted to make the Chinese people fear and the Chinese government submit through violence and killing.However, the result was just the opposite. It only aroused the anger, denunciation and resistance of the Chinese people and the people of the world, thus accelerating their own collapse and demise. In ancient and modern China and abroad, all demons who try to rule the people and conquer the world by means of violence and killing have all ended up like this. This is true of the head of Japanese fascist militarism, and so is the end of Nazi Hitler.
