Kimura Hyotaro was a famous "butcher" in the history of the Japanese army, and he was also one of the seven high-ranking officers of the Japanese army who were hanged by the Far East Military Tribunal after the war, and the last person to die on the gallows. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Kimura Hyotaro was known for his cruelty in the Japanese army, and he came from a military family, and his father was an officer in the army. Soon after Kimura became the commander of the 32nd Division, he led his troops to Yanzhou, Shandong Province to garrison them, and immediately began to prepare for a frantic sweep of the rebel forces in Shandong.
On April 14, 1939, Kimura Hyotaro led more than 8,000 Japanese troops from Zou County, Teng County, Zaozhuang, Linyi and other places to carry out a "sweep" to the Baoqinggu Mountain Area, in an attempt to find and annihilate the main force of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and destroy the Eighth Route Army's Luxi anti-Japanese base area.
Before leading the troops to "set out," Kimura Hyotaro issued a combat order to the troops: The Eighth Route Army and the base areas must be completely annihilated at all costs, and all the people in the base areas, regardless of men, women, and children, must be killed, leaving no future troubles, all houses must be burned, and all grain and grass that cannot be carried must also be burned. His arrogance is really arrogant.
However, the vigorous Kimura Division was dragged away by the guerrilla warfare of the 115th Division of our Eighth Route Army, and was exhausted.
In a fit of rage, Kimura ordered the Japanese soldiers to carry out a bloody massacre of the unarmed people. Kimura Hyotaro ordered his soldiers to imprison more than 2,000 ordinary people in the Xinhuain concentration camp in Jinan. Every laborer who was sent here would have 200cc of blood drawn every day, and the Japanese army deceived the laborers into saying that it was for laboratory testing, but in fact it was for blood transfusions for the wounded of the Japanese army, and many people died due to excessive blood drawing.
Some of those who resisted were severely tortured and even bitten by the wolfdogs that were released. The walls of the concentration camp were surrounded by high-voltage power grids, and many of the escaped laborers were electrocuted to death, and those who were captured were killed by the Japanese army using extremely cruel methods. During the day, he ordered the Japanese to take the "prisoners" to do hard labor, and at night they were locked in cold, damp, and stinking black rooms, and often only three days before one meal.
If someone expresses the slightest displeasure or resistance, they will severely beat them or release vicious wolfdogs to bite them. For those who escaped, they pierced their palms with wires and hanged them from trees, or forced them to dig their own pits with bayonets, and then stabbed them to death and buried them. Kimura Hyotaro is well-known for his cruelty in the Japanese army, so Ma Zheng is the only one who has a deep memory of so many war criminals in Japan.
Ma Zheng still knew a lot about Kimura's cruelty, and the most unacceptable thing for him was that after Kimura was transferred to the post of chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, he continued to adhere to the tough stance of the army faction, actively brewed a special large-scale exercise of the Kwantung Army, and planned to start a war against the Soviet Union. During this period, he ordered the establishment of the "Public Security Work Guidance Department" in Harbin, which carried out the White Terror and killed thousands of Chinese people.
At the same time, Kimura Hyotaro also reached an agreement with the North China Dispatch Army to transport a large number of Chinese laborers captured in the name of "military crusade" and "law and order suppression" to Northeast China, amounting to more than 100,000 people every year, some of whom were also taken to Japan and died in foreign lands.
Kimura Hyotaro ordered the Kwantung Army to send the laborers to the Liaoyuan mining area in Jilin Province, and built two barbed wire fences around it, a high-voltage power grid sandwiched in the middle, and an earthen wall more than one zhang high was built in the innermost part to prevent the laborers from escaping because they could not bear the hard labor. The laborers toiled all day long under the whips of the murderous Japanese officers and soldiers, and countless laborers were tortured to death due to hunger and cold.
In addition, because the Japanese army only drove the laborers to dig coal without any consideration for safety measures, it was not uncommon for workers to die from mine collapses, gas poisoning, or gas explosions. Kimura also ordered the laborers to dig a "mass grave" near the mine to bury the dead laborers. It took less than a year and eight months for this "mass grave" to be filled with corpses.
Before Kimura was transferred from the Kwantung Army, as many as 10,000 Chinese laborers died in hard labor. At the same time, in order to intensify preparations for war against the Soviet Union, Kimura Hyotaro also ordered the Kwantung Army to capture hundreds of thousands of laborers from all over the country and build fortifications in the Sino-Soviet border area.
After learning that Kimura Hyotaro's 32nd Infantry Division had arrived in southern Hebei, Ma Zheng actively prepared for war, and the Shandong Military Region and the 129th and 115th Divisions of the Eighth Route Army were also gearing up, ready to give Kimura an unforgettable lesson.
Shima Zheng is still very jealous of Kimura Hyotaro, because this person is a complete murderous demon king, a Gu Shoufu-style character, and such a person is particularly harmful to the Chinese people. Therefore, when Xu Yinghui sent information on the approximate strength and equipment of the Japanese army to Ma Zheng, Ma Zheng immediately informed Lu Zhengcao, the commander of the Jizhong Military Region in charge of the Shimen Defense Area, to pay special attention to this Kimura Hyotaro and his 32nd Division.
And Lu Zhengcao is also a careful person, and the sweep of the Jizhong Military Region by Numata Shigetoku's department made Lu Zhengcao feel pressure, so he ordered the vast majority of the troops near Shimen to return to the Taihang Mountains, leaving only a small part of the guerrillas to contain the Japanese army near Shimen, and by the way to create some trouble for the Japanese army.
Obviously, Lu Zhengcao underestimated the cruelty of the Japanese army, or the cruelty of the old devil Kimura Hyotaro, near Shimen is a plain with flat terrain, so it is not suitable for the troops to fight guerrillas. But the scale of the development of the Eighth Route Army in this area must be inseparable from the support of the local people, which is not only imagined by the Chinese, but also by the Japanese army.
It's just that the Japanese commander who was originally in charge of the defense of the Shimen area did not have the courage of Kimura Hyotaro to dare to arrest all the young men and women near Shimen without the consent of the commander of the North China Front Army, and then put them in a concentration camp, you must know that this is nearly 100,000 people.
Although Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro did not order the execution of these civilians, Ma Zheng was also shocked when he received this information, and this Kimura was really ...... It's so tm bastard, Ma Zheng doesn't even know what words to use to describe Kimura Hyotaro. However, Ma Zheng knew that Kimura, an old devil, had also taken great risks and pressures, if Kimura could not completely take southern Hebei in this battle, then the opposition within the Japanese army would definitely not allow him to have a good life, after all, not all senior Japanese officers thought that a bloody massacre could conquer China, and you must know that the greater the pressure, the more powerful the rebound.
Ma Zheng is even more worried that if Kimura loses the battle in southern Hebei this time, it is not the first time that this old devil will take advantage of those ordinary people and slaughter innocent civilians.
After receiving the telegram from the Jizhong Military Region, Ma Zheng immediately telegraphed to Xie Wensheng that the former enemy headquarters in southern Hebei must keep an eye on the 32nd Infantry Division of the Japanese Army, and absolutely must not give them the opportunity to slaughter the common people, which is 100,000 lives.
After receiving the telegram from Ma Zheng, Xie Wensheng was also taken aback, and secretly said that this Mucun really dared to do this. You must know that 100,000 lives are not a small number no matter where they are, and even normal Japanese people would not make such crazy moves.
However, Ma Zheng also judged that Kimura, an old devil, must not be treated as a normal person. Even if this old bastard blatantly slaughters these Chinese people, it will make them shed a layer of skin.
It's a bad feeling to watch your compatriots let the **** little devils kill themselves but can't do anything. Therefore, Xie Wensheng was anxious for Liang Shangren, Wang Dechuan and others to discuss how to rescue the more than 100,000 detained people.
It's not unheard of a brutal Japanese officer, but it's the first time I've seen a devil like Hyotaro Kimura who talks to more than 100,000 people at once. Whether it is Liang Shangren, who has extremely rich experience in struggle, or Xu Haifeng, who has an upright personality, he doesn't know what to do this time, you must know that this is a matter of life and death for 100,000 people.
