At a time when the Chinese army was preparing to launch an attack on the Transylwasinian plateau, the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Japan had entered a new stage, and after the trial entered the second stage, the war criminals clearly felt the crisis, and they knew very well that if they remained as passive as before in the next trial process, the final outcome would definitely be the worst. Therefore, the families of many war criminals have spent a lot of money and resources to hire good lawyers to defend these Japanese war criminals.

On February 24, Terauchi was tried for the second time, this time with a different lawyer.

At present, the trial procedure is still in the stage of proof, and the crimes committed by Terauchi Masashi in North Korea and Northeast China are innumerable, and the prosecution has found a large amount of evidence in North Korea and Northeast China, and even in Wandao and Ryukyu to prove the heinous crimes committed by Terauchi Masayo, and what the prosecution has to do is to expose every crime committed by Terauchi Masayo and other war criminals.

"Now that the trial continues, the prosecution can pick up where the last trial went!" After completing a series of processes, France asked the prosecutor.

The prosecutor stood up and said, "Yes, Your Excellency! In addition to the massacre of most of the villagers in the small fishing village of Sunrise, the first stop of the Japanese landing during the attack on the Korean Peninsula that year, on January 5, 1895, the defendant ordered his soldiers to kill 479 villagers on the outskirts of Pyongyang. ”

The judge nodded: "Yes!" ”

The prosecutor walked up to Terauchi Masa-yi and asked, "Defendant, on January 5, 189, you ordered troops on the outskirts of Pyongyang to massacre 479 villagers of Gyesu Village, do you admit it?" ”

Hearing this, Terauchi Masatsuki looked at his defense lawyer. The defense lawyer nodded to him, and this matter could not be denied at all. Twenty years have passed, but many of the Japanese soldiers who participated in the massacre are still alive. These people are in their forties to their fifties, and because of their age, people of this age did not participate in this war, and they survived, and if these people testify in court, Terauchi Masayi will not be able to deny it at all, so it is better to simply admit it generously.

Seeing the defense lawyer nodding, Terauchi Masatsuki said in an old voice, "Yes, even though more than twenty years have passed. But I remember very well that day, those people and villagers were killed by my order! ”

The prosecutor asked, "Why did you order them to be killed?" They are civilians, they don't have any offensive weapons in their hands, they don't pose a threat to you at all, and you kill them for no reason only shows that you are brutal by nature! ”

Terauchi Masashi said: "At that time, I was just acting on orders!" ”

"Hmph, acting on orders? To put it nicely, do you think it's okay to shirk the blame? Since you say that you are acting on orders, then who ordered them. What evidence do you have to prove that you received orders from the top to massacre the villagers? ”

"I, I, I ??????" Masaki Terauchi was speechless for a while.

"Your Excellency!" Masaki Terauchi's defense lawyer stood up and said loudly: "The prosecution is using strong words, and there are generally two forms of military orders, one is written and the other is oral. We all know that military orders on the front lines are generally communicated by telephone and verbally, and according to our investigation, the prosecution said that this time period. It happened to be the position where the Japanese army advanced that year, that is, the location of the Japanese front line at that time. At that time, telephone was not yet widespread, and the transmission of military orders at the front could only be transmitted verbally through heralds. There is no record of such orders, but we have found the messenger who delivered the order to prove that my client was only acting on orders! ”

The judge said: "Allowed, call the defense witnesses!" ”

A lewd middle-aged man in his forties was brought in by the bailiff, and the defense lawyer asked: "Witness Koizumi Wuichi, in 1895, did you serve as a herald for Suzuki Saburo Nakasa on the Korean battlefield?" ”

Koizumi: "Yes, sir! ”

"Then on January 5, did Saburo Suzuki order you to convey the military order to the defendant Masashi Terauchi? If so, do you remember the content of the military order? ”

Koizumi thought for a while and said: "It's been too long, and I have to convey a lot of military orders every day as a herald, so I don't remember very clearly, but I remember that time very clearly, that day Suzuki Saburo Nakasa did ask me to convey the military order to Terauchi Masashi, because that military order was very special, because the content of the military order was for Terauchi Masayi to order the killing of the villagers of Xishui Village, as far as I know, the villagers of Xishui Village have all joined the ranks of the resistance against our army, at that time they transported supplies for the Korean army and the Qing Dynasty, and also harbored the wounded of the Qing army and the Korean army!" In addition, they have broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, and other weapons."

The defense lawyer immediately said: "Your Excellency, according to the witnesses, the villagers of Xishui Village helped the Qing army and the Korean army at that time, and their behavior has actually proved that they joined the ranks of the Qing army and the Korean army. ”

The judge asked the prosecutor: "Does the prosecution have a question for witnesses?" ”

The prosecutor stood up and walked up to Koizumi's side and asked, "Your name is Koizumi Goichi?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Suzuki Saburo's army was subordinate to the Nachi army at that time?"

"The Inoue Wing of the Second Brigade of the Fifth Division!"

The prosecutor said: "As you yourself said, you have to convey a lot of military orders every day, how can you remember the military order given to Terauchi Masayi so clearly?" Is it really as you said, that the villagers of Xishui Village helped the Qing army and the Korean army at that time? I think you are telling you what you are saying and reversing black and white, and I want to remind you that you are legally responsible for perjury in court! ”

Koizumi gritted his teeth and said, "What I said is true!" ”

The prosecutor said to the judge: "My lord, we have found Zheng Haoyi, one of the surviving villagers of Xishui Village, please allow Zheng Haoyi to testify in court."

"Yes!"

Witness Zheng Haoyi was brought in and walked into the witness stand, and the prosecutor asked: "Witness, in January 1895, did the villagers of your village accept the wounded of the Qing army and the Korean army?" Do you deliver supplies to the Qing and Korean armies? Do you have weapons such as broadswords, spears, and bows and arrows? ”

Witness Zheng Hao: "At that time, more than a dozen Qing soldiers and more than 30 wounded soldiers of the Korean army came to our village, they all lived in the house of the village chief Li, it was the village chief Li who accepted them, treated their wounds, and gave them some food, and soon they left, and then the Japanese soldiers chased us to our village, and the Japanese gathered us at the entrance of the village and asked us to hand over the wounded soldiers of the Qing army, most of us did not know that the Qing army had entered our village, and we did not know about this until the village chief said that they had left, Moreover, we did not send any supplies to the Qing army at all, and we did not have weapons such as broadswords and spears, but there were a few bows and arrows, but at that time, the bows and arrows used for hunting were not the bows and arrows of the army."

The prosecutor asked, "What was the situation?" Can you elaborate on that? ”

"Okay, at that time, this person took a katana and asked us where we hid the wounded soldiers of the Qing army, and none of us knew, so he ordered a young man to be arrested, that young man was called Park Yonghao, Park Yonghao didn't know about it at all, he couldn't say it, this person hacked Park Yonghao to death with a katana at that time, and Park Yonghao was cut into two pieces! Later, he killed three people in a row, and Village Chief Li stood up and said that he took in the wounded soldiers of the Qing army, but the Qing army had already gone north, he said that he did this thing alone, and it had nothing to do with other people in the village, this devil heard it and pulled out a knife to hack Village Chief Li to death, and he also hacked to death the village chief's wife, son, child's play and grandson with his own hands, but the villagers were frightened, and the scene was chaotic, but this devil soon ordered all the villagers to be killed! The villagers fled for their lives everywhere, but they couldn't run away at all, the Japanese caught up and beat them with muskets, stabbed them with bayonets, and the whole village was littered with the corpses of the villagers! ”

The prosecutor nodded and said to the judge, "My lord, my question is finished!" ”

The judge looked at the defense lawyer: "Does the defense lawyer have a question for the witnesses?" ”

The defense lawyer stood up and asked the witness: "Zheng Haoyi, how old are you today?" ”

"Thirty years old!"

The defense lawyer said: "So that means you were only seven years old at the time, where did you happen?" How did you survive? ”

"I was at the scene, after the devil ordered the massacre, the scene was chaotic, my mother pulled me to run desperately, and then my mother found that the whole village was surrounded by Japanese soldiers, and I couldn't run out at all, and then my mother pulled me to lie on the ground and pretended to be dead, she protected me in the left, and touched a lot of blood from the ground and smeared it on our bodies in the hope of deceiving the Japanese soldiers, but when the Japanese came to clean up the battlefield, she stabbed my mother in the back, and my mother didn't snort in order to protect me from dying, although I was only seven years old at the time, But I remember very clearly, I will never forget this incident for the rest of my life, I just saw this demon, I knew it was him, as I get older, his appearance may change, and I will never forget his eyes at that time, it was him! ”

At this time, the temple was furious: "You framed, you are framed, I just killed three people, the deaths of the other villagers were not ordered by me, after I killed three people, the scene was chaotic, the situation at that time was out of my control, those villagers were self-inflicted, if they didn't run around, they wouldn't have died at all!" ”

The witness Zheng Hao had blue tendons on his forehead, and scolded hysterically: "Fart, you fart, Zhengyi in the temple, it was you who ordered to kill 479 people in our village, and I was the only one who survived, you devil, I wipe your grandma, wipe your grandma!" ”

The courtroom was in an uproar, and the judge had to hammer it: "Silence, silence, defense lawyer, continue!" ”
