Chapter 175: Competition
On December 12, 1937, Japan's Tokyo Mainichi Shimbun reported on this inhumane killing contest.
Toshiaki Mukai and Takeshi Noda have a 'killing competition' at the foot of the Purple Mountain.
When Noda heard this suggestion, which he had never heard before, he clapped his hands and said, "Compare and compare, tell me, how to compete?" ”
"How can you compare killing people, of course, more than who kills, it's as simple as that."
After listening to this, Noda thought for a moment: "I have a suggestion, how about seeing who kills 100 people first will be the champion of killing?" ”
Toshiaki Mukai agreed with Noda's suggestion, for them, killing someone is as simple as killing an ant, and even in order to increase the difficulty, Toshiaki Mukai also proposed that he should not use a gun, but use a knife to chop, so that killing is enjoyable.
"Okay, okay." Noda asked again, "Where do we meet?" How about I kill all the way to Xinjiekou? ”
"No, no, no!" Xiang Jing Minming objected, he felt that Xinjiekou was too close, and it was not fun to kill all the way, but it was not enjoyable, "I saw that the killing was in the direction of Xinjiekou, and then to the direction of Zhongshan Gate, and when we arrived at Zhongshan Gate, we stood on Chengmen, looking at our achievements along the way, that was called enjoyable." ”
"It's a deal." Noda took two puffs of his cigarette, put the cigarette butt still on the ground, stepped on the cigarette butt with his leather boots, crushed it twice, and shouted: "The killing contest begins, you are on the right side of the street, I am on the left side of the street, and whoever shoots first at the target in the middle counts." ”
The two murderers shook hands, and then they told their respective deputy squadron leaders their plans, and the inhuman devils clapped their hands one by one when they heard that the two were going to hold such a strange game, and the deputy squadron leader cheered them on and wanted to be their referee.
Without further ado, the two turned right and came to Mochou Road, where a young man in his thirties had just walked out of an alley on the left, and Xiang Jing Minming rushed up, pulled out a Japanese knife and slashed at the young man who did not react, and suddenly blood splattered out, and the Japanese knife was instantly stained with blood.
The young man didn't react at all, only felt a sharp pain in his body, and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Worried that the man was not dead, he stabbed him twice in the chest until he lay on the ground without any movement.
This scene was seen by an old man, with a sad look on his face, and he ran to the young man's corpse with a cry, kneeling on the ground and crying.
The inhuman Xiang Jing Minming saw the head of the person sent to the door, his face showed joy, the knife slashed at the back of the old man's neck, and was stuck by the bone, he stepped on the old man's body with leather boots, pulled out the knife, and slashed twice in a row, the head was cut off hard, and the piercing blood spurted all over the ground, leaving only a layer of skin and flesh connected.
At this time, the crying outside seemed to alarm the house, and an old woman with a dustpan walked to the door, looked out, and did not look at it, and saw that the dustpan in her hand was sprinkled with rice grains on the ground, and she saw that her old man and son were lying in a pool of blood, and tears flowed out at once.
Mukai Minming found the old woman, didn't care about wiping the blood on the knife, rushed to the old woman's side, and pierced the other party's body with a hideous face, and saw the other party fall to the ground and pull out twice, without moving, so he unhurriedly wiped the blood on the knife on the clothes worn by the old woman.
piercing the eye, a family of three died under the knife of Toshiaki Mukai.
Turning his head to look at Takeshi Noda, the speed at which the other party kills is not slow, and when he sees someone, he rushes up and slashes at the other party with a Japanese knife, if the other party escapes and can't catch up, he pulls out a pistol and shoots.
The smell of blood permeated the entire street.
After killing a family of three, he continued to walk towards Chaotian Palace in front, he heard the sound of people on the playground of Chaotian Palace, so he walked in and saw a Japanese officer shooting at seven or eight young people with a machine gun, and the bullets were whizzing, piercing through the bodies of those young people, they fell to the ground, and the desire to survive still supported them to continue to crawl forward, but the bullets behind them crushed their desire to survive, shot through their bodies, and lay on the ground without any movement at all.
The officer, who was the squad leader of their squadron, saw Mukai Toshiaki and put away his gun: "Report Captain, ah, these people are hiding in the classroom of the Shina School, I look at them like Shina soldiers, so I call them out, as long as they lay down their arms, the imperial army will treat the prisoners preferentially." Just follow me to the prisoner camp and let them go home. ”
As he spoke, he smiled proudly: "These idiots still believe it and obediently follow me out, and I will send them back to their hometown with a machine gun." ”
He praised the other party and motioned for him to move on, and he led the people out into the street.
The troops of the national army have retreated, and the Japanese army has frantically poured into the city, but there are many people in Jinling City who still maintain a normal life, these ignorant ordinary people, maybe think that the officials beat them, they are still living normally, even if the Japanese devils come in, the Japanese devils will not do anything to them.
At most, it's just a change of country.
The lives of ordinary people still have to go on.
Therefore, when Toshiaki Mukai came to the street with a team of Japanese soldiers and found that the door of a small shop on the side of the road was open, he curiously stretched out his head to look inside.
A man was bending down to carry things and sort out the goods, and with a cruel smile on Toshiaki's face, he rushed in and brandished a sword to kill the man.
The movement of the shop alarmed the women in the house, and she ran out to see her husband lying in a pool of blood, and then a diminutive Japanese officer wielding a Japanese sword, and angrily drove her to grab the latch of the door and strike at Mukai Toshiaki.
But where was she the opponent of the executioner, the latch was knocked to the ground, and she raised her knife to the well, and slashed at the woman, who screamed in pain, and fell to her husband in a pool of blood.
Xiang Jing killed someone, simply wiped the sword, and walked away.
Walking out of the store, I saw a Japanese officer chasing a young woman across the street, although the young woman was wearing a padded jacket, but her appearance looked quite beautiful, Mukai took a closer look, and laughed: "Noda-kun didn't forget to make a flower girl when he killed people, okay, I also have time to do a few to have fun." ”
He walked to the door of a barber shop, and saw that there was a young woman who was sweeping the floor with her head down, so he walked in, dropped the knife and pounced on it, who would have thought that this woman was strong, raised his hand and gave Xiang Jing two slaps, which directly angered Xiang Jing, who was full of animal nature, he gritted his teeth and gurgled, picked up a knife and slashed at the woman's head, and the woman fell in a pool of blood.
Mukai, who lost the knife, didn't feel relieved of his hatred at all, and took off his pants to vent his animal desires on the woman.
Coming out of the barber shop, he also asked his soldiers to set fire to the houses of the Chinese people with gasoline.
The road was full of blood and smoke.
The houses set fire by the Japanese army were not in a hurry, in fact, in the thick smoke and flames, ordinary people were rushed into the city, and the devils who were already crazy were chasing and killing, they were desperately screaming, crying, and begging for mercy.
This ancient civilization with a history of more than 2,000 years is like a hunting ground, and from the time the Japanese army entered the city, it was not peaceful for a day.
This city is crying.
The speed at which Takeshi Noda killed people was not much slower than that of Mukai, and when the people in Jinling City reacted and found that the Japanese devils were not what they thought at all, they began to drag their families out of the city.
But at this time, Jinling City was already surrounded by Japanese troops.
Running out of the city is tantamount to throwing themselves into a net, some people even ran under the blade of Noda Takeshi, he grabbed a seven or eight-year-old child, like an eagle holding a chicken, grabbed the child's clothes with his left hand, swung the knife with his right hand, pierced the body fiercely, pulled out the bloody knife, the child fell helplessly to the ground crying, screaming for his mother.
Unmoved, Noda Takeshi raised his sword and stabbed it again, cutting off his head directly, and then hanging it on a big tree.
He stood under the tree, smoking a cigarette, and said to the child's head, "Do you know how many people I have killed?" I'm telling you, you're the seventy-ninth I've killed, and I've got twenty-one, but I'm tired, and I'm going to take a break and smoke a cigarette. ”
He saw Xiang Jing and proudly showed off his achievements: "Xiang Jingjun, I am still twenty-one short, how many have you killed?" ”
Xiang Jing laughed: "You are too backward, I have killed 89, but I am not as much as the soldiers of my squadron, a soldier named Yamada in our squadron, he was in a hospital at the intersection of Hanzhong Road, he caught fifteen Chinese soldiers, these people are like livestock, without any resistance, he was hacked to death by a knife, he has now killed more than two hundred Chinese." ”
He also laughed at himself for not killing as much as the soldier.
Noda Yi said with a smile: "It's normal, they need grades to be promoted, during the Russo-Japanese War, I was fighting in Fushun, and every time I killed more people than those who were officials, how could I improve if I didn't kill more people." ”
The two were talking and laughing as they walked towards Zhongshan East Road.
The massacres continued.
They went all the way and killed all the way, and the number was far more than a hundred, and when there was no result, they raised the number of one hundred to one hundred and fifty.
The tragic killing game has not stopped.
December 13th.
The brutal Gu Shoufu was full of anger and entered Jinling from Zhongshan Gate, where the troops he led suffered all the hardships he swore to vent fiercely.
The big wolf dog he was holding had scarlet eyes, and in order to keep the big wolf dog full, he deliberately starved the big wolf dog for a few days.
Stroking them, Gu Shoufu showed a hideous smile on his face: "Don't worry, wait until you enter the city, let you eat all-you-can-eat." ”
Their bloodbath was concentrated in the refugee areas of Zhongshan North Road and Zhongyang Road.
On the 14th, Nakajima, Ushijima, Suematsu and other troops entered various parts of Jinling one after another, and as more and more Japanese troops poured into Jinling, massacres were staged on every street corner.
Xia Yuan collected the routed troops, placed the wounded, and attacked the Japanese army, but after all, his strength was limited, and the scope of his radiation was too small.
Just rescued a female student from under the three Japanese soldiers, Xia Yuan said to her: "Hurry up and run, you must hide when you see a Japanese devil." ”
The schoolgirl ran away crying.
A soldier clenched his fists and scolded, "These bastards, Chief Xia, we are fighting with them. ”
The other soldiers were indignant: "Yes, if you get out, you will also kill the little Japanese devil." ”
Xia Yuan took them all the way, and encountered too many pictures of women being raped and civilians being killed, and everyone was holding back their strength in their hearts, and killing more than a dozen Japanese devils was not relieved at all.
If you want to kill, you have to kill more Japanese devils and avenge those dead compatriots.
"I'm glad you have this attitude, but we can't be reckless, it's dawn now, it's not good for us to act." Xia Yuan looked at the corpses on the side of the street with cold eyes, and said sharply: "When it is night, we will attack the Japanese devil station." ”
Just when the Japanese army was attacking Jinling.
The order for Shangfeng to retreat was issued to the defenders of Jinling City.
The Central Teaching Corps, which held on to the Purple Mountain, also began to retreat outward one after another.
However, due to the fact that the order they received was a little late, when they retreated, the Japanese devils had already entered Jinling City, and the teaching corps was the last to withdraw from Jinling City.
At this time, in Jinling City, most of the soldiers of the national army who basically did not resist lost their guns and hid among the ordinary people.
Some of them were lured outside the city by the Japanese army and slaughtered in the middle of the night.
On the 14th, there were sporadic gunshots in the city, and the Japanese army shot and killed the fleeing citizens of Jinling.
As for the rebellious national army.
Not a single one.
Xia Yuan thought that the remnants of more than 30 people led by him had more than 70 people so far, and they should be the last lone army in Jinling City.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that in addition to him, there was also a lone army, a team of more than ten people led by Instructor Li, who was also wandering in Jinling City.
Instructor Li planned to take the remaining brothers to break out of the siege and withdraw from Jinling City.
However, in the process of retreating, they encountered a group of female students running out of the school, chased by several Japanese soldiers, and let out bursts of screams.
In order to rescue the dozen or so female students, Instructor Li led the remaining brothers to engage the Japanese army, although all the Japanese soldiers were shot, their positions were exposed, and a large number of Japanese troops defended their positions, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
At this moment, it was a few kilometers away from the exchange of fire between Instructor Li and the Japanese army.
Xia Yuanzheng led two platoons of soldiers to cautiously grope forward along the broken streets.
It has been a day or so since the Japanese army entered Jinling City, and the undisguised bestiality has been exposed.
Every day, Jinling City is crying.
On the first day, the Japanese army slaughtered a large number of civilians, Xia Yuan also resisted, and the number of people around him increased and decreased.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Xia Yuan stretched out his hand and signaled the team to stop.
When the footsteps on the rubble fell silent, a fierce battle could be clearly heard from far away.
"It's our people!" One of the veterans immediately heard the crisp sound of gunfire, the sound of their official rifles, which was different from the Japanese devil's 38 style.
The soldiers of the team were a little excited, they wandered around the city for a day or so, and apart from the scattered gunfire of the Japanese soldiers, they never heard of any of them resisting again.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Shangfeng had given the order to retreat, and all the commanders had run away, leaving them behind.
Then all the troops started running.
Some soldiers threw their guns and hid in the crowd, trying to confuse them.
Jinling City is already in chaos.
Now when they hear that there are still people who are resisting, everyone is very excited, which proves that they are not alone, and there are still people like them who are holding on.
