Hongkou District, Shanghai.

When it comes to prison, we often think of hell, blood, darkness, netherworld, gloom, solidity, strictness, etc., and the city of death is a metaphorical word for the 'West Prison' prison by human beings.

The 'West Prison' Prison is a large-scale prison and a famous prison, known as the "No. 1 Prison in the Far East" because of its large scale, high security, and decades of history.

Before the liberation of Shanghai, the 'West Prison' Prison was the Huade Road Prison of the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau, which was managed by the British for a long time, and was commonly known as the "Foreign Prison" and "West Prison". On May 18, 1903, the first prison building was completed and opened. Later, it was added one after another, and in 1935, it formed a scale covering an area of 60 acres and more than 10 buildings, surrounded by a 5-meter-high wall.

After the liberation of Shanghai, Ye Feng ordered that all foreign concessions in the urban area of Shanghai be abolished and military management was implemented, and a large number of soldiers went to these concessions.

Ye Feng's move had caused protests from all over the world, but in the face of Ye Feng's strength, these voices gradually weakened after a few days of protest, and even Lao Jiang had no choice. At present, there is no concession in the whole of Shanghai, and all of them are under the control of the 43rd Group Army.

Without the concession, some foreigners began to leave Shanghai, and some foreign businessmen stayed to continue their business, but for these foreigners, Ye Feng ordered to strengthen the management, register every foreigner who stayed in Shanghai, and issue relevant documents.

Known as the City of Death and the First Prison of the Far East, the West Prison held a large number of small Japanese officers and some puppet army officers at this time. As well as some captured traitors and so on.

In a dimly lit room in the prison, it was dark and damp, and the stench was pervasive. A man wearing the uniform of a Japanese army general squatted on the ground with his eyes blank, this was the supreme person in charge of the Japanese army in Shanghai at the time, the Japanese army's first-class general Nishio Shouzo.

At this time, Nishio Shouzo has been reduced to a prisoner, and he no longer has the original scenery, that is, the general's uniform on his body is tattered and dirty. Nishio Shouzo's hair is also messy like a bird's nest, and his face is also jet black. It seems like I haven't washed my face in a long time.

The closed door opened a little, and through a beam of light outside, two warriors entered, one of whom had a large bowl in his hand. Throw the bowl on the floor. He shouted loudly, "It's time to eat!" ”

The two warriors looked at Nishio Shouzo in disgust, then turned and closed the door and walked away.

In the dim light, Nishio Shouzo crawled over, as if he was a starving ghost, and quickly picked up the large bowl with a small gap missing, grabbed a handful of food and stuffed it into his mouth.

This bowl of rice seems to be half a bowl, but it has a strong rancid taste, which is obviously not a good thing. However, Nishio Shouzo doesn't seem to be a little disgusted. Gobbled it up and ate a fine light in a few minutes.

When he was first imprisoned here, Nishio Shouzo was not like this at all, and the food brought by the soldiers did not even smell it.

As a general of the Japanese army, he has always been a delicate and exquisite diet, how can Nishio Shouzo look at these brown rice that has become rancid, the first time, when he saw the soldiers serving him a bowl of such things, Nishio Shouzo's face changed, and he said loudly: "Yaga! You are abusing prisoners of war, I want to protest! ”

"Smack!"

The soldier in charge of delivering the meal raised his hand and slapped him, almost swelling Nishio Shouzo's cheeks, half of his face was hot and painful, and Nishio Shouzo looked at the fighter who beat him in disbelief.

The soldier raised his hand and slapped him on the other cheek, and then the soldier crossed his hands on his hips and said loudly: "What's wrong with us abusing prisoners of war?" Tell you, be honest in the future, don't put on a show in front of us. ”

After speaking, the soldier kicked over the big bowl on the ground, and then said dissatisfiedly: "If you like to eat or not, you deserve to starve to death!" ”

Then, with a clatter, the warrior slammed the door of the cell shut, leaving a large bowl that had been knocked over and a floor of rancid food.

For several days, the soldiers were sent a bowl of leftovers, and often exuded a rancid taste, and after holding on for a few days, Nishio Shouzo was really hungry, and tried to eat a few bites, and after eating these few bites, Nishio Shouzo almost threw up.

forced himself to eat a small half, Nishio Shouzo couldn't eat anymore, these rancid meals were eaten into his stomach, Nishio Shouzao's stomach obviously couldn't adapt to it, and it didn't take long for him to pull into a sparse uproar, and the whole person was so dilute that he collapsed.

In the next few days, Nishio Shouzo finally got used to it after straining his stomach a few times, and every time a bowl of such a meal was delivered, he ate it all.

It's the same today, after such a bowl of food was delivered, Nishio Shouzo ate it well, and there was no sign of discomfort in the stomach, after eating this bowl of food, Nishio Shouzo sat silently on his short, tattered and damp bed, in a daze.

From a high-ranking and invincible Japanese general to a prisoner, Nishio Shouzao said that his days may be numbered, and according to his understanding of Ye Feng, his worst outcome is a bullet.

The next day, early in the morning, the gate was opened and several warriors entered, one of whom was holding a food box containing two large bowls of white rice, a roast chicken, a small pot of sake, and two side dishes.

Compared with the past, today's food is simply a world apart, smelling the aroma of the food, Nishio Shouzo couldn't believe that this was true, however, soon Nishio Shouzo's face changed, and he knew that this might be his last meal, and he should be executed after eating this meal.

The soldiers who came in not only brought a relatively sumptuous meal, but also brought basins, water, towels, and so on.

After eating, several soldiers helped Nishio Shouzo clean up a little, washed his face, combed his messy hair, and after everything was in order, Nishio Shouzo was tied up with five flowers and tied a knot with a strong hemp rope.

In the past few days, the entire downtown area of Shanghai has been very lively, and a large number of ordinary people are talking about these little Japanese officer captives, that is, many reporters have made the best preparations and are waiting for today's arrival.

A few days earlier, the 43rd Group Army had officially posted a circular in the form of a circular all over the city of Shanghai, which clearly stated that all the Japanese officers captured today would be executed, and that a huge procession would be held before the execution.

Seeing such a notice, the common people rushed to tell each other, everyone was very excited, in the past few years after the fall of Shanghai, the vast number of ordinary people have not been bullied by the little Japan, but they did not expect that these arrogant little Japanese officers would be publicly shot.

The reporters who heard the news also couldn't believe it, they didn't expect the 43rd Group Army to be so bold as to dare to publicly execute the senior officers of Little Japan, and among these captured Little Japanese senior officers there was a Japanese general, two lieutenant generals, and several major generals!

However, the bright red seal on the notice posted in the city showed that all this was absolutely true, and these reporters who were the first to learn about the situation immediately made preparations, and in addition, the news quickly spread to the outside world, and many reporters from all over the country rushed to Shanghai.

Not only domestic reporters, but also some foreign reporters rushed to Shanghai, and everyone was fully prepared, their cameras were carefully checked over and over again, and some newspapers even left enough pages to prepare a large number of detailed reports on this matter.

Before being shot, these little Japanese officers will be tied up and paraded through the streets, and in addition to these little Japanese officers, there are also many traitors and dogs. The route of the parade has been announced, and a large number of people come to the streets early in the morning, waiting for the arrival of the parade procession.

Eight o'clock in the morning, "West Prison" prison.

On the street at the entrance of the "West Prison" prison, a long convoy was ready, and a large number of ordinary people were even more crowded from afar, and if it were not for the large number of soldiers maintaining order, these people would have already poured over.

This convoy is the convoy that is paraded in the streets today, and at the front of the convoy are two off-road vehicles to open the way, and these two off-road vehicles are followed by four M4 Sherman tanks, and behind these tanks are twenty large army green trucks, and behind these large trucks are six M3 half-track armored vehicles.

At this time, a small Japanese officer who was tied up sturdily was pushed onto a large truck, and on the compartment of each large truck stood ten devil officers who were tied up with flowers, five on each side of the carriage, and ten devil officers in each compartment.

On the bed of each truck, in addition to the ten devil officers, there were also several soldiers with loaded guns to escort them.

On the first big truck, Nishio Shouzo stood at the front of the carriage, the most conspicuous position, and there was a sign with black letters on a white background on his chest, which read "War Criminal" Nishio Shouzo, and there was a simple job introduction under these big characters.

The captured little devil officers, from Nishio Shouzo, a first-class general of the Japanese army, down to the second lieutenant officer of the Japanese army, more than 100 officers of all sizes, in addition to dozens of traitors and doglegs during the Japanese puppet period.

The onlookers saw a famous little devil officer being escorted into the car, and immediately the whole atmosphere became warm, and many ordinary people looked happy and happy, pointing at these devil officers from a distance, and their hearts were full of excitement.

From eight o'clock in the morning until about half past eight, more than 100 little devil officers, large and small, as well as dozens of traitors and doglegs of the Japanese puppet period, were all escorted into the big truck by the soldiers, and the soldiers who were responsible for carrying out the task of parading the streets also got on the bus one after another.

Under the eager and excited eyes of the general public, the off-road vehicles, tanks, large trucks and armored vehicles began to start, and then drove slowly.

The huge parade has officially begun! (To be continued......)
