Chapter 40 5. Good people registration catastrophe

After the establishment of the pseudo-"Self-government Committee", it became their main job to cooperate with the Japanese army in hunting down Chinese soldiers.After tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians died tragically under the butcher knife, the Japanese army still refused to give up. In order to further search for the so-called "20,000 Chinese soldiers hidden in the refugee area", the Japanese military planned another conspiracy to register good citizens. On December 22, the streets and alleys of Nanjing were covered with notices from the Japanese Gendarmerie Command regarding the registration of good citizens:

For announcements: From December 24, the Gendarmerie Command will issue civilian passports to facilitate residence and work.All civilians must report to the Japanese military office in person and receive their passports, and they are not allowed to collect them on their behalf.If there are elderly or weak patients, their family members must accompany them to report.Anyone without a passport is not allowed to live in the city, strictly following this order. According to the requirements of the Japanese army, all men and women over the age of 16 must register to receive a residence permit, and they are not allowed to obtain it on their behalf. In this way, everyone passed the customs, and it was naturally difficult for soldiers hiding in the civilians to escape.

Places to receive resettlement certificates are set up in various refugee areas, one in Xinjiekou Square, one in Shanxi Lukou Square, and one on the playground of Jinling University. In the early morning of the 24th, a long line had formed on the playground of Jinling University. Several Japanese military officers sat on the stage. The inquiry committee member spoke in the corner. He could speak Chinese: "Anyone of you who have served as Chinese soldiers, all Stand up, the imperial army is lenient, and guarantee your safety, work and food. If you hide and refuse to surrender, you will be executed if you find out!"

As he spoke, he made a beheading gesture in a murderous manner. No one stood up, and no one made a sound. There was obvious distrust in people's eyes.So a traitor wearing glasses stood in front of the stage, and he shouted hoarsely: "My fellow citizens! Anyone of you who has served as a soldier must stand up quickly! Anyone who surrenders himself will be dealt with leniently by the imperial army!" See if there is no response, He patted his chest and swore: "My compatriots! As a Chinese, I guarantee your safety! Don't you believe in your compatriots?!" He patted his chest and promised again and again.So someone was fooled, 1, 2, 10... One or two hundred people stood up on the playground.The compatriots who stood up were loaded into cars and taken away.Not long after, news came that these people were all taken to the compound of the Ministry of Justice, tied to a cross, and "disposed" by Japanese soldiers with bayonets.

So, the lackey Zhan Rongguang wagged his tail and went to act, invite pets, and deceive other compatriots with Taijun Jiaoxia. The rest of the people began to register after going through all this trouble. The registrants were first questioned by traitors, and then the Japanese army checked your body for signs of being a soldier. Finally, they registered and issued you a certificate. It reads: After getting this residence permit, the registrant can breathe a sigh of relief.However, in the layers of barriers for obtaining this card, those who forge iron, those who pull carts, those who carry burdens, etc., who may have marks similar to those of soldiers, and those who are timid and afraid during interrogation, should not answer properly. How many of these people have become victims of the fascist bandits!

Two days later, the Japanese devils felt that the effect of such a registration and inventory was not ideal, so they changed a new trick: men and women must stand separately and line up in two teams to register separately. Although the registration of women is not in danger of being recognized as a Chinese soldier, it has trouble and disaster for women.The Japanese first touched the women with a playful smile, which made them all blush and refused to give up.Then pick all the young and beautiful ones to stay, and first comfort the imperial army before they can get the residence permit.The women who love beauty by nature were so frightened that they all put on ragged clothes and smeared the soot from the bottom of the pot when they went to register, but many of them still couldn't escape their bad luck.Once, as soon as a Japanese soldier put his hand into a woman's crotch, he yelled in fright and withdrew his hand like an electric shock.It turned out that in order to protect herself, this clever woman put a sticky plaster on her belly and on both sides of her thighs. The Japanese thought she was suffering from an infectious disease, so they yelled loudly and drew back their hands in fright.This incident spread immediately, and many women followed suit, but over time, this method gradually failed.

The danger of men's registration is even greater. The Japanese first asked their family members to come forward to claim them. If no family members claimed them, they must be Chinese soldiers.Although this method is vicious and vicious, many Chinese soldiers still escaped the enemy's search.One is that at the beginning of the fall of Nanjing, the rape and violence of the Japanese army greatly frightened the citizens of Nanjing. Many parents married their daughters to others in the fastest and easiest way for the safety and future of their daughters.And many hidden officers and soldiers also needed a home in order to seek protection, so many officers and soldiers who were scattered among the people became the husbands and sons-in-law of the people of Nanjing overnight; At that time, many old women in Nanjing came out to recognize their sons.Once, when registering at Jinling Women's University, 18-year-old Chinese soldier Yu Zhiqing was dragged out of the ranks by the Japanese. He was about to be dragged to be shot. Not good, I rushed over immediately, crying: "Son! My darling!" The Japanese were confused all of a sudden.The fat mother immediately put on a forced smile and said to the Japanese: "Taijun! He is my son!" Yu Zhiqing was saved in this way, and he has a good mother in Nanjing ever since.Liu Xiuying was not very old when she went to register, but she was wearing black cotton-padded clothes and trousers, her hair was combed, and she was covered with pot soot, she looked very much like an old lady.When a group of people escorted by Japanese soldiers passed by her, a thin young man in blue Chinese clothes whispered to her: "Auntie, you do good deeds and save me, the Japanese will take me to shoot I'm gone!" Liu Xiuying was also very scared, but out of patriotism and eagerness to save people, she bravely squeezed out and said to an interpreter, "This is my son!" When the interpreter said to the Japanese, the young man People will be saved.Another time during the registration, the playground was densely packed with people who were caught and sent to be shot. The staff of the International Committee was anxious, so they mobilized the old ladies in the refugee area to identify people. Dozens of old ladies cried Crying and shouting, crowded onto the playground, some called their sons, some recognized their grandsons, and rescued dozens of people at once.

Even so, the conspiracy of the Japanese to register as good citizens and issue residence permits still prevented many Chinese soldiers and civilians from escaping bad luck. In the refugee area alone, tens of thousands of people were hunted down and slaughtered. On the day when the registration of good citizens was completed, a Japanese plane flew over Nanjing, circled in the air several times, and scattered leaflets all over the sky. On the leaflet was a hypocritical propaganda picture: a Japanese soldier hugged a Chinese child, The child is holding something to eat, and a Chinese woman is kneeling beside her.There is also a self-deceiving nonsense printed on the leaflet: "Trust in the imperial army and you will be saved."

However, the people of Nanjing have seen with their own eyes how Japanese soldiers "saved" the Chinese with bayonets and machine guns.When hundreds of thousands of Nanjing compatriots were brutally murdered, and when the bloody river of corpses stretched for tens of miles along the banks of the river, these deceptive leaflets dropped by the Japanese military actually became a wonderful mockery of the atrocities of fascist militarism! The tragedy is still going on, the massacre is still going on, and after the lies are scattered, the people of Nanjing who are living in hell are still living in the horror of bloody wind.
