Chapter 49 Chapter Forty-Eighth: The Demonic Murderer's Nest—"Pipa Mountain Mass Grave"

"Pipa Mountain Mass Grave" is located in the south of Pipa Mountain in the western suburbs of Jinan City (now part of Jinan Material Machinery Experimental Factory and Jinan No. 2 Machine Tool Factory), with a total area of ​​more than 1,680 square meters, surrounded by walls, and there are large and small corpse pits inside. 8, which is one of the main execution grounds where the Japanese invaders massacred our anti-Japanese soldiers and patriots in Jinan. The "Pipa Mountain Mass Grave" is directly subordinate to the "Jinan Military Law Conference" established by the Japanese 12th Army stationed in Jinan (the 12th Army was transferred to the 43rd Army in 1944), and is guarded by the death penalty execution team of the Jinan Defense Command.During the Japanese occupation of Jinan, all the anti-Japanese soldiers and patriots in Shandong who were arrested or captured by the gendarmerie, secret service agencies, and Japanese and puppet troops during the "mopping up" were escorted to the "Jinan Military Law Conference" and sentenced to death. They were brutally killed here.

From the end of 1954 to the beginning of 1955, the People's Procuratorate of Jinan City, together with relevant departments, excavated the "Mt. Yu pieces.According to the collective identification of the forensic medical team, 746 Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers, civilians and patriots were killed here.Among them, 283 were male, 7 were female, and 456 were difficult to judge; among them, 173 were killed after being burned by a firearm.Firearm burns killed 15 people with blunt weapons, 22 people with blunt weapons, 3 people with sharp weapons, 210 people with skull comminuted and fractured, 97 people with intact bones mainly injured the body tissues and died without identification, and the bones were scattered There were 207 people who could not be identified and only counted by bone.The killing methods adopted by the Japanese fascist thugs mainly include shooting, hacking, stabbing, strangling, beating, burning, burying alive, dog biting and more than a dozen.

The above-mentioned number of interviewees is only the identification number of the preliminary excavated remains. According to the confession of the Japanese war criminal Sonoda: "Compared with the great crimes they committed, this exposure is really not as good as a drop in the bucket, and it is just a tiny one." According to the reports of the local people, the time when the Japanese army massacred our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the "Pipa Mountain Mass Grave" was from 1941 to 1943.During these three years, there was a massacre almost every other day, sometimes in the afternoon and sometimes at night.Every time there are as few as a few people, as many as dozens, or even hundreds of people.Not long after the "mass grave" was built, three cars were full of our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in one massacre.

Hiroshi Namba, a Japanese war criminal, confessed that in January 1943, when the "Jinan National Salvation Training Center" established by the Japanese army was disbanded, more than 80 sick prisoners of our country were killed here. According to the false Qingdao "Xinmin Daily" report, on May 16, 1942, 44 members of our "Minxian" team members were massacred here.The guards of the 54th Brigade Headquarters of the Japanese Army stationed in Jijiu Nakamura Junichiro and Kayashi Akimichi confessed that in September 1943 and July 1944, under the command of the 54th Brigade Commander and Jinan Defense Commander Nagajima Tsutomu, they here personally Killed 24 of our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.

The Japanese war criminal Sonoda also confessed that during the "mopping up" of the 12th Army in mid-February 1943, the 53rd (Yoshikawa) Brigade and the 54th (Nagashima Service) Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 59th Division arrested our military and political personnel And more than 800 anti-Japanese masses, in addition to tortured and executed more than 650 people on the spot, the remaining more than 150 people were sent to Jinan and sent to the military court for trial. More than 40 people were tortured to death, and 75 people were sentenced to death and killed here.During the "mopping up" of the 43rd Army in early February 1945, the 53rd (Uesaka Sheng) Brigade and the 54th Brigade (Long Island Service Brigade) arrested more than 1,000 military and political personnel and anti-Japanese masses of our country, tortured and killed 870 people on the spot. More than 130 of them were sent to Jinan, where they were handed over to the military court for trial. More than 30 were tortured to death, and more than 70 were sentenced to death and killed here.

According to the local people, every time there is a massacre, there are loud gunshots, wolf dogs barking, and screaming, which is unbearable to the ear.The corpses of our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians who were massacred were only covered with a thin layer of soil or a layer of lime, and sometimes the corpses were completely exposed, allowing the hawks and dogs to bite. "Pipa Mountain mass grave", old bones support new corpses, year after year, layer upon layer.To this day, every time the Jinan Material Machinery Experimental Factory expands its workshop, a large number of corpses are excavated from the ground.It can be seen from this that the Japanese fascist gangsters killed more than a thousand anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the "Pipa Mountain Mass Grave"!In order to cover up its heinous crime of massacring the Chinese people, the Japanese troops stationed in Japan transferred and destroyed all the archives after Japan announced its unconditional surrender. The excavation of the "Pipa Mountain Mass Grave" completely shattered their plot to destroy the evidence.
