On December 13, 1937, the city of Nanjing was completely occupied by the Japanese army.
At the Xiaguan wharf, the Japanese army gathered tens of thousands of troops from several divisions and regiments to carry out a terrible massacre of the refugees, and the hundreds of thousands of refugees who did not have time to cross the river were killed on the spot, except for a few lucky survivors, most of them were killed on the spot, and the refugees who were forced into the river were countless dead.
The river was stained red with blood and stretched for more than ten miles, and countless floating corpses stretched almost all the way to the mouth of the sea for hundreds of kilometers, and they could not be cleaned up for several months.
In the city, a large number of Japanese soldiers went door to door to pull out the people who were hiding one by one and killed them in various ways, and the woman's experience was even more miserable, and I couldn't bear to tell it directly.
According to historical records, there are statistics that the number of victims of the massacre reached nearly 400,000, and this does not include the countless tragic massacres caused by the Japanese army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Japanese army suffered almost no losses after the destruction of the city, except for the tens of thousands of people who died in the battle.
All this changed slightly because of the long road, and the death toll of the Nanjing Massacre was finally fixed at 250,000.
The battle losses of the Japanese army also increased significantly.
From the 12th of the city to the 13th Shimonoseki Wharf was slaughtered, the Japanese army also suffered heavy losses, the emperor of the Imperial Family Hikko Dynasty Xianggong Jiu was assassinated, Lieutenant General Nakajima Konno Go, Major General Miyamoto Tsuyoshi was killed, and the bloody battle in Nanjing City caused nearly 20,000 Japanese soldiers to die.
On the part of the squadron.
Deputy commanders Tang Shizun, Song Xilian, Zhu Chi, Gao Zhisong, Luo Cequn and other senior generals were killed in battle, countless regimental commander-level officers were killed, and more than 50,000 **** soldiers were killed in the battle.
Numerous wooden stakes were erected inside the city, and the most tenacious in the battle. The soldiers were nailed to a stake like Jesus, and they were left to die alive.
"Why do these little devils have strips of white cloth tied around their shoulders?"
On one of the wooden stakes, Zheng Tong, who was dying, suddenly sobered up, and asked with some wonder: "Could it be that they have done a lot of evil, and their fathers and mothers are all dead?" β
China and Japan have similar customs in some respects, only when the family dies, will they tie a white cloth strip on their body to mourn.
"Hey, hey, hey...... I heard that the little devil Emperor Imperial Family, King Asakamiya Jiuhiko, and Lieutenant General Nakajima Konno Go, were all killed in battle-that King Asakamiya Jiuhiko was even stabbed to death by Lu Yuan in the eyes of tens of thousands of people......"
A rather urbane officer on the pillar next to him said: "I can understand Japanese, and when the little devil was talking, I heard itβwhat a joy!" β
"That Lu Yuan, are you still alive?"
As soon as he heard the word Lu Yuan, Zheng Tong became excited, and his face exuded brilliance: "I fought with him, and we fought from Baishi Town to Tiger Killing, all the way to Nanjing!" β
"Still alive, he killed Asaka Gong Jiu and fled!"
As soon as he heard that Zheng Tong was following Lu Yuan, the officer's face obviously showed respect: "No wonder you are qualified to be nailed here to show the public, it turns out that you are Lu Yuan's person - disrespectful!" β
"Disrespectful brother!"
More people on the stake next to him raised their heads and said: "To hear such good news before you die, death is worth it, and if you can die with your brother, it will be even more regretless - the only regret is that I didn't have the opportunity to see this long road with my own eyes, where is the sacred ......"
"He's a deserter......"
Zheng Daodao, and then remembered the bits and pieces from when he met Lu Yuan and others, with a relieved smile on his face, his head drooped, and he died silently.
The massacre lasted for more than a month before it ended, and during this time, the whole of Nanjing became a complete hell.
The death of Asaka Palace Nine was reported to the Japanese military headquarters to Tokyo, the homeland.
The emperor ordered a grand state funeral for the bravest children of the imperial family, and at the same time, Matsui Ishine was recalled from the Far Eastern battlefield.
"Tens of thousands of people are in Nanjing, and they can't protect my emperor's family, it's really a shame for my Yamato nation!"
In the Emperor's Palace, Emperor Yulong's face was pale, and he issued a secret edict, ordering the military department to reorganize all the Japanese troops in Nanjing, and then, where the most ruthless and cruel battles were fought on the battlefield, these soldiers would be sent!
In his opinion, it is not enough for the soldiers and people of Nanjing City to accompany the funeral of Chaoxiang Palace Jiu, these soldiers failed to protect their family members, and it is the biggest dereliction of duty, and they must accompany him to the funeral!
Of course, there is another reason for this, the Nanjing Massacre has aroused great public opinion in the world, and he has to use all means to calm down the people's anger, so even Gu Shoufu and other senior generals who participated in the Battle of Nanjing have been recalled to their homeland and arranged for idle posts.
Different from the frustration of ordinary high-ranking officials when they were transferred out of China, Gu Shoufu's heart was full of happiness, every time he closed his eyes, he could see those hungry tiger-like eyes, and every time he was frightened, he woke up from a nightmare and couldn't sleep at night!
The other party was able to kill Asaka Miyajiu, and he was able to kill Nakajima Konnogo, so he naturally had enough ability to kill himself!
So, he left almost with gratitude, and for him, it was only at this moment that he discovered the true meaning of life, and to be alive was better than anything else.
At the same time, the emperor ordered that this person should be found and killed regardless of everything, this person was simply a great danger to the empire, a thorn in the flesh, and if he did not get rid of it for a day, it would be a great threat to any high-ranking general of the Japanese army.
According to the emperor's order, the Japanese military headquarters issued a reward of 100,000 taels of gold, and whoever could kill Lu Yuan could get the gold and get the protection of the Japanese Empire.
Of course, these things happen slowly over time.
On the north bank, Long Yun Su Yan, Cai Kaile, Ren Haifang, Xu Yun and others, as well as the only forty or fifty remaining refugees, waited hard by the river, until more than ten days after the Xiaguan massacre, no trace of Lu Yuan and others was found.
They even searched for dozens of miles downstream, turning over the corpses in the river one by one, but still did not find them.
At that time, the Japanese fighters bombed vigorously, and the 100,000 or 200,000 refugees who had crossed the river fled for their lives in embarrassment.
As mentioned in the leaflets, along the way, the Nationalist government set up a number of temporary concentration sites, as well as porridge sheds, to provide shelter and barely enough food for the refugees who crossed the river in Nanjing.
This is a good thing, but it is a pity that the bureaucracy of the national government is already terminally ill!
