Hangzhou has been known as "there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below" since ancient times. This statement also strongly illustrates one thing, that is, in heaven, heaven is the most beautiful, but in the world, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the most beautiful. , so this is used to describe the beauty, prosperity and wealth of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
However, with the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, in December 1937, the Japanese army occupied Hangzhou in three groups. Immediately, this "paradise on earth" fell due to the entry of these beasts, and became a veritable "paradise". Hell on Earth”.
Because on the second day after the Japanese occupied Hangzhou, all soldiers were given three days' leave, that is, "three days of free movement."
What occupied Hangzhou at that time was the Japanese 18th Division, the Kurume Division. The division leader was Lieutenant General Ushijima Sadao. The division had always been known for its brutality. The officers and soldiers unanimously believed that there was no need to stay in the war. Any captive.
Therefore, during the three days of "freedom of action" in Hangzhou, the Japanese army began to massacre the citizens of Hangzhou crazily, and looted everywhere, such as setting fire to houses, shooting people with rifles and machine guns, setting up comfort stations, etc.
The Japanese army burned and killed for three consecutive days. More than 1,300 people were killed in Hangzhou, and more than 7,000 houses were burned down. The entire suburb of Hangzhou immediately became a ruin.
Afterwards, people collected the remains and built a cemetery, and erected a monument as the "Wuyin Cemetery", also known as the "Thousand Man Grave".
Although some people in Hangzhou fled during the Japanese army's attack on Hangzhou, and some were captured by the Japanese as laborers, after these three days of free movement, the population of Hangzhou, which originally had more than 500,000 people, dropped sharply. Only 100,000 people remain.
Moreover, after the Japanese army occupied Hangzhou, they continued to adopt the strategy of "using China to control China". They first established the Hangzhou Public Security Committee, and then established the Zhejiang Provincial Reform Government and the Hangzhou Municipal Reform Government.
There is also the Japanese military police stationed in Hangzhou, which blatantly maintained a large number of traitor spies, collected intelligence everywhere, and killed our anti-Japanese comrades.
It can be said that since the Japanese occupied Hangzhou, they carried out large-scale raids wherever they went, from urban areas to rural areas. The whole city was lit with flames, thick smoke covered the sun, and cries shook the ground. Hangzhou was called paradise. It became a miserable hell.
This is why it is said that the prosperous city of Hangzhou under the Japanese rule, with its beautiful lakeside, became a prosperous street in the morning and a dead city at dusk.
Moreover, after the Japanese army occupied Hangzhou, the most important method was to enslave the Chinese people. They first forced schools, cinemas, shops, banks and other institutions to open, and promoted their propaganda to educate the citizens.
Then came the establishment of Japanese language schools, such as the three Japanese schools opened by the Japanese army in Hangzhou, one on Xiaonu Road; one in the Bodhi Temple; and one in the Christian Church at No. 20 Huansha Road.
The Japanese army hoped to achieve long-term colonial rule over Hangzhou through "brainwashing".
In addition to establishing Japanese language schools, the Japanese army also established printing presses, radio stations, etc. during their occupation of Hangzhou to enslave and educate Hangzhou citizens in all aspects.
For example, the Japanese army set up the "Hangzhou Broadcasting Bureau" (i.e. Hangzhou Broadcasting Station) and installed loudspeakers in Hangzhou's Tingling Road, Huansha Road, Guanxiangkou, Yangbatou and other important thoroughfares to broadcast broadcasts day and night.
It is precisely because of the beastly behavior of the Japanese and their desire to destroy our race that the hatred of the people of Hangzhou towards the Japanese has never been eliminated, and has even become more and more intense.
With such a popular foundation, some secret services and underground organizations of the Kuomintang and the Red Party have been doing a very good job in lurking in Hangzhou.
This has also led to the fact that the Japanese have never made any breakthrough progress in the encirclement and suppression of these agents, which also makes the Japanese very angry.
Of course, there are limits to many things in this world. When anger reaches a certain limit, the Japanese will unleash their bestiality.
Just two days ago, Ji Yu, a classmate of Senkuro Obata and the newly appointed acting mayor of Hangzhou, was attacked by a bomb in front of his home.
Ji Yu once studied in Japan. After returning from his studies, he returned to Hangzhou and worked in the Kuomintang government ever since. However, after the Japanese occupied Hangzhou, he immediately defected to the Japanese and became a
became the leading party of the Japanese.
Even after the establishment of the Nanjing Reform Government, this person immediately directly supported the "legitimacy" of the Reform Government, and was quickly appointed as the acting mayor of Hangzhou.
It is precisely for this reason that the Secret Service directly issued a kill order for this person.
This assassination was an operation carefully planned by the Secret Service, so Ji Yu was blown up by a bomb directly at the door of his home, and even his body was blown into several pieces.
The Japanese are naturally very angry about the occurrence of this situation. After all, they have just appointed Ji Yu as the acting mayor of Hangzhou, but he has not yet taken office. Now he was killed in a bomb in front of his home. This is not a naked act.
Slap the Japanese Empire in the face?
It's really intolerable, what can't be tolerated!
In addition, Ji Yu is a classmate of Senkuro Obata, so Ji Yu's rise to power was actually driven by him. After all, after Ji Yu came to power, it also helped him to a certain extent.
But now that Ji Yu is dead, all his plans have come to nothing, so Obata Senkuro was furious and directly ordered the Japanese military police in Hangzhou to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Suddenly, a storm swept through Hangzhou, and everyone, whether they were Japanese, puppet soldiers or traitors, received death orders.
The Japanese had ruled Hangzhou for so long, and it was not in vain, so it only took one day to arrest more than ten people from the Action Brigade of the Hangzhou Station of the Secret Service who carried out the assassination case.
But in order to arrest these more than ten people, at least more than a hundred people died in Hangzhou City, so the Japanese who went crazy were not human at all, they were worse than animals!
In the end, under harsh interrogation by the Japanese, Ruan Wenwen, who was responsible for the assassination, was confessed by his subordinates, which is why this scene happened now.
"Water." Ruan Wenwen immediately opened his mouth and said.
"Give it to him." Seeing Ruan Wenwen like this, Obata Senkuro waved his hand and said.
Then a Japanese military policeman came over with a military kettle, squatted down, helped Ruan Wenwen up very roughly, and then gave him a drink of water.
Ruan Wenwen was also drinking water greedily. After a while, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Of course, because of the torture, it looks so ferocious.
