Chapter 16 15. The Japanese Army's self-report: "Flower girl's work" every day

The whole process of the Japanese invasion of China, especially the killing of innocent Chinese people, the Japanese military and government at that time had very strict discipline, that is to say, no What they did—referring to casually telling family members and relatives about murder and arson, let alone writing articles.After the Japanese aggressors declared their surrender, the Japanese side imposed the most stringent censorship measures on all returning soldiers. All written items such as "diaries" and "notes" on the battlefield were forbidden to be brought back. severely punished.Therefore, it is very difficult to obtain first-hand historical materials in this regard from Japan.However, even so, we still obtained some fragmentary "diaries" left by the Japanese veterans at that time.There was a period of time after the war—including now, some Japanese veterans who had a sense of introspection about the war, as they grew older and regretted the war more and more, some people began to write memoirs one after another, which made the Japanese army in China, including The crimes of the Nanjing Massacre have been more vividly reflected.There are also some peace-loving anti-war activists, such as Ms. Matsuoka Tsuki, who took action on their own, and personally went to the Japanese veterans to investigate and verify their crimes in China. Therefore, the author has the opportunity to obtain some Japanese veterans’ own writings reflecting their crimes in China. Rape and gang rape of Chinese women.

A man who rapes or participates in gang-raping a woman is severely punished in any country in the world, but almost no man who has raped or gang-raped a woman will take the initiative to speak out.It should be said that the rape and gang rape of women during the war did not only occur in the Japanese army, but the harm done to women by the Japanese army in China, especially during the occupation of Nanjing, was particularly cruel and abhorrent.The Japanese officers and soldiers themselves admitted that almost no one was clean.Raping and gang-raping women is as "must" and "available" as "food".

If there is nothing to do, "find the flower girl"; the main purpose of "grain collection" and "requisition" is also to "find the flower girl"; "Flower girl", in the days of the fall of Nanjing, the most "exciting" thing the Japanese soldiers did was basically this one. "The worst thing about this war is not the buildings that were burned and the homes that were destroyed, as bad as that was, but the men who never came back and the women who lived their lives with the pain and trauma of rape. I hardly know which is more sad, men being taken away and killed, or women surviving the terror and turning into frightened birds.” American Mills wrote to his wife in this way to describe what he saw the Japanese soldiers marching to Nanjing. The most miserable situation left by the people.

"You don't write things about women casually in your diary." A descendant of a Japanese veteran told me this.Even so, the author still found some things in this regard in the extremely limited "diaries" of Japanese veterans.For example, in the "Tanaka Diary" written by Tanaka soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 33rd Regiment of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army that invaded China, it is described in this way: January 20 The team members finally brought the woman.She cried and said, "There is a baby at home, let me go back." Although we don't have the love of our parents, we feel sorry for her.So-and-so guy did a "good thing".

January 22 Another girl was pulled in.It was noisy and couldn't sleep all night. The following are the original materials of the rape and gang rape of Chinese women in Nanjing as reported by Japanese veterans when they were surveyed and interviewed around the 1990s—— Genji Akiyama: If you want something to eat, you can trade it for sex We also found girls in the refugee area.The recruiting of girls started with breaking into the house and searching, and once a girl was found, it was done. After 10 to 15 days after the fall, I went to the refugee area.When I got there, I said, "exchange the leftovers with X".At that time, I carried the pot with me, so I said I would exchange it with this one.With women, you just say "meal, meal, sex" or "×, exchange".In this way, the woman said to give her the leftovers. (Many fled.) The house was empty everywhere, so I said "let's go" and did it.By then the situation had stabilized a lot.

Guitoujiuji: Rape the woman on the spot During the raids, the house-to-house searches were carried out. If a girl was found, she would be raped on the spot.The girls were probably hiding under the bed or behind the curtains.When he was discovered, he didn't know whether it was because of fear or some other reason, but he didn't resist anyway.Because they were not stopped by the gendarmerie, they could do whatever they wanted without restriction.The women had ink on their faces and stuff.I can’t remember how many women I’ve raped, but there’s only one thing I remember. When I caught the runaway mother and daughter, the mother said that the daughter was still young, so she begged us to only do it to myself. I said “stupid” and put Mother pushed away.When doing it, two or three people work together.Of course I felt bad when I did it, and I also thought about what to do if Japan was occupied and my daughter or woman was raped.However, at that time, I didn't know when I would die, so I did what I wanted while I was still alive, and it had nothing to do with the emperor's order or anything.It became a matter of course.Of course I had the experience of rape in Nanjing, regardless of the venue, there are many empty houses, and I just raped them on the bed in the empty house.I usually take rice to ask my mother for a daughter.Also, some women came out of the refugee area by themselves and exchanged their bodies for rice.Rice is the rice we eat ourselves, and the amount to fill a sock once [equivalent to 5 go (the Japanese measurement unit, 1 contract is 0.18 liters)].Not in Nanjing city, but in the outskirts of Nanjing, it would be more troublesome if caught by the gendarmerie, so the woman was killed.I only entered the city during raids, and I also killed people.

Judging from these things, I think the Nanjing Massacre happened, and I think it was a bad thing. Naojiro Ido: Rape is the main interest when mopping (Rape) is everywhere.This is indispensable.Everywhere I went, I witnessed scenes of carrying women and raping women, even the old lady was arrested.Killed after being raped.It was brutal. Two days after the fall, when they went to Xiaguan for confiscation, rice and food were confiscated from the houses, and women were also confiscated at that time.When I opened the lid of the suitcase in the house, I found a young daughter-in-law hidden inside.Because her feet were bound, she couldn't escape quickly, so she was caught, stripped off her clothes and raped.Since I was only wearing a pair of pants and no panties, I was ready to do it right away.After finishing the job, although the other party said "no", he shot him in the chest and killed him.This is a tacit understanding.If the gendarmerie comes in the future and the matter is revealed, it will be counted as a crime, so he was killed.Everyone knows this truth, so they are killed when they are done.

After a long time, the law and order improved, and the gendarmerie ordered all the soldiers of the army to line up and bring the raped women over and ask them to point out who did it.Unlike usual, this time it was not considered a crime, but I was scolded "don't do it again".Not guilty, not anything else, just being scolded.We do as much evil as we want, and 9 out of 10 of us have raped and boasted about it. Most of the troops traveled with more than 30 women called comfort women.Almost all are Korean women.Our troops have also set up comfort stations.Not in the squadron, but in the wing of Noda's troops.A comfort station was also set up near Guanghuamen in Nanjing (in Tundi).

He also knows the places where women in the city hide.Young and old have done it.It would cause trouble if it was discovered after it was done, so it was killed.No matter before entering Nanjing or after entering Nanjing, rape of women can be said to be done as you like, it doesn't matter how much you do.Some people boast that "after fucking a 70-year-old woman, my waist has become lighter".Many women were also left behind in the city, almost all of them hid in the caves.Even the establishment of comfort stations did not reduce rape incidents.The women in the comfort station are all Koreans, and they are divided into military and general use.The fee is about 1 or 2 yen.The salary of a general soldier is about 8 yen, but because I am a corps leader, I get about 15 yen.Our unit is not bad, but other units are even more chaotic.Almost all the soldiers in the unit have experienced (rape).If you go to the city to do it, you can do it "for nothing".

I have also been to a refugee area that only accepts women (probably Jinling Women's University).Pick and choose at random around the room, and do it on the spot.In the same unit as me, I forgot who it was, and was beaten on the head by a defeated Chinese soldier during the rape.From then on, when you rape, someone will watch you.It is done day and night.Generally operate as a unit.Been there probably a dozen times.Almost all teams are like this.The accomplices said to each other, "Watch me this way" and "Watch me that way", and they didn't worry about whether there was anyone around them when they were doing it.Saying something like "Is it over? This time it's my turn..." is the case.

The soldiers brought the woman out while saying "dead, dead".The woman was also afraid of being killed, so she agreed immediately.Although the face is covered with the ash from the bottom of the pot, it can be seen immediately.Catching women every day is scary, but there are more interesting things. Dong Zhengxiong: Even if you are hungry, you will feel refreshed when you see a woman … I was 25 at the time.Sailing from Kobe Port, the ship called "Tonegawa Maru" arrived in Nanjing with about 1,000 soldiers on board.From there, participated in the Dabie Mountains and the Battle of Hankou.The soldiers in front of me had all participated in the Nanking offensive.I heard that the murder of the 9th Division was to let the Chinese people run to the trestle bridge, and they shot and killed them from behind. In China, according to the captain's order, in order to embolden the people who came from China, he stabbed the bound Chinese captives to death with a bayonet.The Chinese man yelled "Yeah".The first time it was done during the Battle of Anlu. During the crusade, they also set fire and confiscated. They did all kinds of bad things, and they all learned from the soldiers who came earlier.Break into the homes of ordinary people, as long as they see something better, they will steal everything back.In China, it is confiscated on the spot, so you can do whatever you want, steal anything. Everyone took off their collar badges (the color of the collar badges is different depending on the unit they belong to) and went to grab things.Although my stomach was unbearably hungry, as soon as I saw a woman, I immediately regained my energy, and immediately arrested her. ...Everyone in the army does it, so let's just acquiesce.Beating women half to death, because of resistance.Girls are often not let go.Those who resist will be beaten, those who obey obediently may not be killed, and those who refuse to do so will be killed... When some comrades died in battle, they felt revenge and wanted to do cruel things to the Chinese.I don't know how many people were killed, but I remember killing a woman with a pistol once.They rushed into the houses and asked their parents to hand over their daughters. If they didn't hand them over, they were shot and killed.The frightened daughter jumped out to see what happened, and arrested her. Everyone did it together. It was done by 6 people. In the end, the girl seemed to be dead.I didn't feel pitiful, I thought "If you want to hate, you hate Chiang Kai-shek".When expropriating and raping, they also believed that "the bad one is Chiang Kai-shek".I have always thought that Japan is a "God's country", so you can do anything.At that time, I always wanted to "do things that people can't do". During the Great East Asian War, I also slept with Dutch women in Sumatra.Not in the comfort station, but in the prison camp.Fucked with the (retained) women there, did the same bad things as Shinna.Since women are hungry, they are tempted with food.When Japan was defeated in the war and was about to return home, twenty or thirty women in the shelter "checked their heads", which meant that they wanted to find out the bad guys.I slipped through the net because I shaved my beard.Terrible. In China, before entering a village, if it is a village that has resisted, it will be set on fire.This is revenge.There were 10 or 20 Chinese people killed, but I can't remember more than that.Only one was shot, and almost all of the rest were bayoneted.Almost all of them are men, and there are also two or three women.Because the woman was not handed over, she was killed.It's not easy to die with a bayonet stabbing, that is to say, one stabbing can't kill people, and some stabbings can't kill people, and after an hour or so, they are still vomiting blood.At this time, I said, "If you want to hate, hate Chiang Kai-shek."Don't take (killing) seriously.I'm not doing it alone, but everyone is doing it.Everyone is young, and they all want women. Their biggest wish is to drink a sip of domestic water and hug a domestic woman.The smell from the women in China is different.Taiwan has a flavor of Taiwan, and North Korea has a flavor of North Korea.Maybe the food is different? (Chinese women who have been raped) There are more than 10 people, probably about 30 people.Can't remember. ...that's what the frontline troops are like.Frontline troops are ruthless troops.It is said to be a crusade, but it is actually to capture women.Because crusades are often sudden attacks, it is easier for women to catch them before they can run away.That was the goal at the time.I have never done anything to old people or children, I only fuck young girls. Kota Tasho: Catch the woman to the garrison, raise her in the unit and then... Until December 15th it was an offensive war, and from the 16th to January 11th (the following year) it was a guard near Nanking.Comfort stations began to appear on the outskirts of Nanjing.It is a small thatched hut made of corn husks, so narrow that it can only accommodate a bed.There are fifteen or sixteen girls, all North Korean girls.Soldiers were standing outside waiting in line.Since I was a junior officer, I waited until the soldiers had gone (from the women).The price is about 1 yen 50 to 2 yen, and it is paid with military tickets.Japanese money is not a penny.When training in the unit, women are caught and stationed in the camp, and the unit raises them.After a week or two, he will be released, and then he will catch a substitute.There are many people who go to the temple, because the temple is big, so the girls around flee to the temple for refuge.If you go there, you will have it.There are also ordinary people's homes, as long as the second floor is destroyed, the girl hidden there will be found.The girls hid in the straw on the second floor, and their parents brought them meals every day. The detachments were stationed in private houses.Bring about 3 girls for shelter and food, and they will be replaced when they get tired of playing.At first the girls just cried.However, as long as you bring them to the team and feed them, you will be fine.When marching (on the way to Nanjing), as long as you find (women), you will do it, that is to say, put the rucksack next to it, and do it on the spot.Some are young, some are around 50 years old, and they are all peasant women.Parents didn't hide them, and they hid most in the attic and temple.When I marched, my mood would become rough... I killed more than 50 people.Now that I think about it, it's not something people do.I didn't know whether I was dead or alive, and I became a real beast.Your bosses won't pay attention to you, because you are doing it yourself.No gendarme came, and I never saw a gendarme when I was in China.As for the killing after finishing, we have never done it, and we have never heard of it.So I don't know if that is the case.However, women's bodies are often seen in Shanghai and Nanjing.I also saw it in the North Branch, naked.When attacking Nanjing and Xuzhou, because I was busy fighting, I didn't have time to do it.At that time, the most important thing was to eat, and I just desperately searched for eggs and chickens every day.Since I was busy taking care of the captain, I didn't steal much. Ippei Mikimoto: gang rape girls by lottery In Nanjing, because I had nothing to do, I raped girls.The soldiers in the army went out to recruit women casually. In fact, the officers knew about it, but they didn't say anything, which was tantamount to acquiescing.Because men, who haven't slept with women for a year and a half, can't hold back.If it's a man, it's a matter of course, if it's a human, it always wants to sleep with a woman.If you break into a house, there are women hiding everywhere.Some are hidden at home, and some are hidden in rice fields.Almost all of the women's faces were painted black with pot ashes.Women in China are dirty because they don’t take a bath, but many girls in cities like Nanjing are quite clean and beautiful.Just say "X Kankan (meaning exposing sexual organs, a Chinese word used by soldiers)", and almost all the women will honestly roll up their clothes and show them for us to see.At the place where the International Red Cross flag was hung, all the girls from Nanjing fled there.There are no girls on the street, so the girls who were searched were caught when they went to the suburbs to sweep, and they did bad things in the sparsely connected villages. Looking for girls is based on a team as a unit or a group of several people.As long as they were caught, several members of the team stepped forward and knocked down, and decided the order of rape by drawing lots.If you catch the first one, you have to wipe off the ashes on the girl's face before doing it.Five or six people pressed it in turn, and the girl was already foaming.Soldiers are hungry.The girl was afraid of being killed, so she trembled all over.When two or three people were looking for a girl in Nanjing, there was hiding in the house a woman dressed in beautiful Chinese clothes who looked like the wife of a high-ranking Kuomintang official.We said to her, "X look at it." She was afraid of being killed, so she didn't resist at all, and honestly pulled up the hem of her clothes and let us do it.After it was over, we said "thank you, thank you" to the lady for making us feel comfortable, and we shook hands and said goodbye.The soldiers were young, and the thought of dying tomorrow made them all the more eager to sleep with women.Hugging a woman is something anyone is willing to do. ... I've heard that after fucking a girl, she was killed to keep her mouth shut.I also heard that some troops let Chinese men and women have sex, and they watched it for fun. When girls of nineteen or twenty years old were brought in, their parents would follow and knock their heads to the ground, begging us to let their daughters go.But it was useless to ask, because the soldiers were all hungry and thirsty, and no one listened to them.Three or five people held down the girl who hadn't slept with a man before, and the girl passed out immediately, foaming from the mouth.Parents say "no," but we still have to.I've done it too, but it doesn't do any good.Soldiers all over Japan have done this kind of thing, it just depends on whether you say it or not.Because they are men, if there are 10 people in the team, 10 of them have done it.The longer the war drags on, the more they want women, and other troops do the same.People are all the same. Toshio Ota: Catch someone who makes tofu, let him find a "beauty" Ordinary girls have to obey us, and clean up as long as they resist.If you encounter someone who has the strength to resist, you will consider it a detachment of women and kill them.Some did not kill them on the spot, but asked them to carry their luggage and take them to other places to rape them.The captain found out, and just said lightly, "Don't do bad things" (hehehe laughing).The captain is also a man, so he knows what his subordinates are doing and won't pursue it.We say "yes, yes" and usually pretty much let the girls go home when we're done. Chinese people are also used for cooking.The Chinese people captured by one of our teams were a man and two women, and they were asked to cook and wash clothes.Instead, they caught Chinese people who could do things.The man is a tofu maker. When he was caught, he was very scared and trembling all over. He desperately begged us to say "spare my life" and wrote "spare my life" on the paper. knowledge.We thought this man could use it, so we gave him an armband with the word "common use" written on it, and kept it in the unit for use. The tofu maker is very good at leading the way, so he can steal a lot of meat and chicken, blankets and shorts.Because he was in business, he knew the streets like the back of his hand, and he had the armbands of the Japanese army, so he kept stealing watches and meat.The other teams are very envious of our team.He also brought a tofu pot to cook for us. Then let him go to the silk shop and steal our shorts and quilts.That person also called two or three accomplices, and after stealing things from the store, they actually resold them.Stealing the good things from the Chinese people with a big show, they are doing quite vigorously.Although the people in the store are quite pitiful, we still get benefits. We wrote the word "beauty" on the paper, gave it to the tofu maker, and ordered him to bring it with gestures.The man immediately said "very good, very good" and went out. "Very good" means good, and saying that a girl is "very good" means pretty.He went to the refugee area and soon brought over two beautiful girls from a girls' school in skirts.Give each of them a house, let them wash clothes during the day, and of course don't let them go back at night, and stay in the team for us to play.We are all young, so it is inevitable and natural to have "sprinkling" (fucking).There are about a dozen teams in Nanjing, and two girls are enough to play.But they are only placed in our troops, and they are not allowed to go out after being locked up.There are Japanese soldiers everywhere outside, and they also know that if they escape, they will be caught and killed, so they will not escape.I also went to the silk shop with the tofu maker to bring silk and shiny clothes for the girls to wear, to make the girls happy.The other troops envied us very much, and they also arrested the girls and locked them up.When recruiting girls in Nanjing, the girls all smeared pot ash on their faces so black that they pretended to be old people.But we can still recognize that it is a young man who wants to rape because he is the enemy's woman. As long as you say "lifeless, open" and open your chest, the woman will guess what you are going to do.When we took the girls away, their parents or grandmothers came out to beg for mercy, and we were either stabbed or set on fire before we came back.This is an order. I heard that if you don't obey the order, you will be sent to the military court.When we entered Nanjing, the people there were quite pitiful. We are a light machine gun team, so we spread out and shoot under the cover of infantry. If we don't fight, we can't.You must kill the other party before others do it first. If you want to live, you have to kill.As long as you let go of your courage to kill, you will be credited and you can get a medal.If you are dead, you can't do it. If you are alive, you must kill as many opponents as possible. On the 13th, on the banks of the Yangtze River, as soon as the rifle team opened fire, the light machine guns also fired. As long as anyone said "the next batch", they would be lined up and killed.At that time, I shot with the mood of avenging my comrades-in-arms. I was so excited that I even killed women and children. "Nanjing is the enemy's capital. Everyone has worked very hard. Many comrades in arms died in battle. This time, it's time for you to taste the pain, you bastards." Because the comrades in arms died, I hated the living Chinese. The Nanjing Massacre existed.The people who said there were none were people who came in later, people who came from Tokyo to take a look around, and then went to Nanjing after a while.We soldiers have seen it. Now China and South Korea are raising the issue of compensation. There are really too many poor people. Japan has made them suffer cruelly.It is natural to be condemned, because the Nanjing Massacre existed, and we shot and killed tens of thousands of Chinese on the banks of the Yangtze River with our own hands. Sawada Kojiro: The primary target of the raids was women No matter where the troops were, as long as they were the first to rush into the city at that time, they must have done a thorough job.Rape women, requisition supplies, murder, etc., I am afraid that any army has done it! Rape of women is pretty common, I think.After the battle, we went to mop up. Some of our soldiers were killed by the Chinese throwing them into the river, and some were thrown into the well.In other words, one or two people went to conscript women, but they were killed themselves.Women rarely appear on the front line, but they can be seen everywhere during the sweep.Maybe it was because they came back to the rear as soon as the war was over.Women often hide in dry land.Sometimes you just lift the lid off the tank and you can see a woman hiding in it.Our soldiers seem to often find them in these places and rape them.During the Nanjing offensive, everyone set fire to the straw pile as soon as they found it, and women ran out of it.The war has developed to such a large scale that everything can be imagined.That's different from a two- or three-day battle. It takes a long time, and the rest time is also long. During the rest period, it feels like you can play whatever you want.As soon as the troops were stationed, they immediately went to nearby villages to conscript.In the case of mopping up, the primary target is women.We are full of men here, and they are all young people in their 20s, so it is easy to imagine. Comfort stations are considered necessary facilities for soldiers.Not long after the troops were stationed, comfort women who joined the army were brought over.If they were not brought, it would be a crime against the residents, so I think they were brought in to prevent bad things from happening.The comfort station was set up 10 or 15 days after the troops were stationed, and there were places in the lively places in Nanjing.Shimonoseki maybe not.Although our alliance has never done it in the city, but I think it must have been near the Wakisaka army.Although I haven't heard of it with my own ears, I think it is usually located near the army.There are comfort stations everywhere, and it is hard to tell which unit set them up.Among the comfort women were Koreans and Japanese.Once the law and order improves, Japanese women will continue to come in.People in the army go to the comfort station every day.Our squadron does not have a comfort station.I thought at the time that the comfort women were brought in by the military that was in charge of the comfort stations.I don't know what kind of place they brought people here from. Kawanaka Kiichi: When recruiting girls, two or three people go, and when collecting food, a large group goes At the beginning of the battle, the carry-on rations were divided into 10 days, in addition to rice and non-staple food, so it was not easy to think about taking it with you.I have a horse to help, but it is very easy.During the battle in Nanjing, the detachment also carried out food collection.It is to drive chickens and pigs, and survive by buying locally. There is still some rice in Nanjing, but it is still rice, so we used to eat it ourselves with a mortar.After the fall, the circulation of the army also improved. At this time, they lived on the army's food and salaries, and some non-staple food such as pigs and chickens were properly collected. Everyone goes together to collect materials. If it is to collect girls, only a few two or three people go.Although these people knew where the girl was hiding, they would occasionally fall into an ambush. Among the people who have established great military exploits through arduous battles, there are also people who strayed into this kind of place and died.In order not to die in vain under such circumstances, we attacked and attacked the defeated soldiers when we saw them.When I went to collect supplies, I once happened to see twenty or thirty women hiding in the hut outside.They covered the house with straw and hid it, but I closed the door without doing anything. Each wing has a comfort station.I think that if the comfort stations are not formally established, we will conscript women and do bad things, so the comfort stations are still necessary.We didn't stay there for long, so I don't know much about the situation in Nanjing, but I have visited such places when I was in Tianjin.Because we are all young people, there is a feeling that we can't help it for a while.Of course, everyone's situation may be somewhat different.When they went to the front line, they ate and slept together, and no one knew who would die today or tomorrow, so no matter whether it was a recruit or a soldier with two years of service, they all went to conscript women. Yuichiro Shimoyama: The more wives a man has, the more he wants to rape We went to Nanjing by boat from Shanghai along the Yangtze River.After crossing a hill, we immediately entered Nanjing.We asked people to pull the horses off at the pier and rode in.At first it was by very large steamboat.At that time, it had been a long time since Nanjing fell, and I had never seen a dead body. After entering Nanjing, we were in charge of guarding the infantry school outside the city.After the capture, they went in for security, and after leaving the city, they arranged aviation and aircraft security tasks.I only went to do aviation security.At that time, it was to climb up the hill where the infantry school was located to guard. There was no one alive in the city.When the guards are on guard in the city, they will be terrified.I heard that there are still defeated soldiers, so I am worried that I will be killed. During the morning meeting, the 9th Division once issued an order "no going to the refugee area". There were also people who recruited women.Maybe the more wives there are, the more they can't help it. They often rape women.There are such people among the cavalry.They caught the women and did it in people's homes. I even saw it in the middle of the road with my own eyes. It was our squadron.Didn't the division have an order "no rape"?I heard that the gendarme had also entered the city, but in the end they did not come. They kill women after they rape them.I heard that our division also had this kind of thing, and I heard them talk about it triumphantly.It was said that he raped alone in the middle of the road, and all the people in China saw it. Because we were recruits, we didn't go to that kind of place, but the meat and food were conscripted.They warned me that Zhengfa "ambush in the meeting, don't act alone."What was confiscated was chicken or something.Because people have to eat.The requisition is to go to the farm.Chicken, rice, corn, etc. became the food and grass before the arrival of the big luggage. The regimental captain often said: "You are not allowed to moleste women." Women are everywhere, hiding in ordinary people's homes.Once inside the place we occupied, they smeared pot bottoms on their faces.It was covered with pot dust and looked like an old man, but we could still tell it belonged to a young man.Once, four or five people went to the village to conscript, and the women were too scared to move, probably because the enemy came in, so we gang-raped the women in the house. Okawa Huo: I'm a recruit, I'm in charge of finding women, and I do it myself We did all the things in the rear. After the front line passed, we searched those who were hiding and found many women.Women and girls smeared dirt on their faces and made themselves ugly.Some soldiers go too far, kill the young ones when they catch them, I've seen them.I also often see naked female corpses, one of which has something like a bamboo gun inserted there (sexual organs), naked, and placed in the shape of "big".Looking at these, I thought, we are doing bad things! After being stationed, I also went to search for girls of a comfort nature, and did it on the spot.Some people in the army said that it would be dangerous to be found out if someone even did a little bit of bad things at this time, so they simply killed her, and killed people after doing bad things.I heard that some troops said that they were stubborn in their anti-Japanese thinking, so they ordered to kill them all.For example, as long as he suspected that he had hidden a weapon, or felt a little suspicious, he would burn down the house.During the period from Shanghai to Nanjing, we have always belonged to the rear troops, so we passed through villages that had been burned to ashes. In Nanking, we were stationed in the city in detachments for about a month.Nanjing was the capital of China at that time, and it was very prosperous, with silk, quilts and everything.After the owner fled, there were still good things in the house that we couldn't take away. As long as it was edible, we confiscated everything.In the detachment, 10 people in the detachment took turns to conscript women or food.We also went to confiscate them. Although there were people in the countryside, no one resisted.Even if there were still men, they were only afraid of the Japanese soldiers, and they were so afraid that they knelt down and begged for mercy. I'm a recruit, so I'm in charge of finding girls.If you don't look for it, you will be scolded, so we don't care about other things.I absolutely dare not disobey what the above said, so I desperately searched for girls.The place where they hide is not a house, nothing.They hide behind walls and bricks and stuff.In addition to houses, even bamboo forests and straw stacks in the fields also hide.If two women are brought back, one must be given to the squadron leader.The remaining one was gang-raped from the leader of the 10 people in the unit - the squad leader.We're recruits, so don't even think about it.In this way, after gang-raping the girls, they killed them. I fought in the war and was interned in Siberia. This war, I think, was one in which the Japanese felt too good about themselves.The Japanese army is too arbitrary.Here in Siberia we had to work.I don't know how the officers are staying in other dormitories.But us minions down there are the same.Those who do bad things get equal retribution. There can be no more wars. Morita Taro: Pull the girls into the squadron's private comfort station When the China Incident began, I was at the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade. I walked for a month before and after I arrived at Guanghuamen in Nanjing, and there were battles along the way.In the battle on the way to Nanjing, the enemy looked like he was about to flee, but he didn't start at all.I arrived in Nanjing in mid-December.As a result, Guanghuamen arrived in a hurry, but the luggage was heavy, and the food and grass did not keep up.I could still have rice for two or three days, but I didn't expect to not come for about a week to 10 days in a row.At this time, it will be collected locally.Those who went to the local area were soldiers.When I entered the home of a Chinese farmer, there was no one there: I fled.However, there are girls and such.The residents were very honest and did not resist. We also did the recruiting girl.Farm girls climbed up to the ceiling to hide.We can tell if there are girls in the house just by looking at the furniture.说是去征集食品，其实就是食品跟姑娘一块儿找。可能是语言不通的缘故吧，我们也没遭到反抗。女孩子都浑身发抖。这种事是各分队独自行动的。也有的分队把女孩子拉过来私自设立了慰安所。基本上一个大队有10个左右的姑娘。姑娘们由军队管理。我不知道他们是从哪里把女孩子给拉来的，可我知道里面有很多朝鲜姑娘。在淳化镇，女孩子都是征发的时候抓的，所以没有设过慰安所。在淳化镇，也发生过士兵去征发的时候强奸女孩子的事情。 小寺忠雄： 当地掠夺和队长玩女人 （辎重16联队）某个中队长是带着女人逛大街的。因为上司都这个样子，所以只要想干坏事，不管多少都能干。我也喜欢女人。分队的士兵们把抓到的女人带来，说“玩吧”。不管女人怎么不愿意，我们只说“好好”，大家就躲起来干了。像我们这样年纪大的兵确实干了不少坏事，但也有不干的士兵，因为在家里是全心全意拜神的。士兵里也有各种各样的人。 类似上面的日军老兵“自述”，只要心态正常的人，读了这些文字都会有想吐的感受。这就是日本侵略者的兽性。
