?In front of Shanghai Paramount Nightclub, the door is closed. It used to be a prosperous place, but now it is deserted and deserted, with not a single person in sight. ""
Paramount, whose full name is "Paramount Hotel Ballroom", was the largest nightclub in Shanghai at that time.
In 1929, the "Dahua Hotel" that originally opened on Gordon Road (today's Jiangning Road) and also operated as a dance hall closed. The West District of Shanghai, known as the "Aristocratic District", did not have an entertainment venue suitable for the "Aristocratic District".
In 1932, Chinese businessman Gu Lian undertook an investment of 700,000 taels of silver to purchase the Jing'an Temple site to build a paramount hall, and named it "Paramount Hall" with a homophonic pronunciation.
Paramount was designed by architect Yang Xirui and is known as "the first Yuefu in the East".
This building has three floors. The ground floor is the kitchen and store. The second floor is the dance floor and banquet hall. The largest dance floor is more than 500 square meters. The dance floor is supported by automobile steel plates, which will cause a shaking feeling when dancing. There are
The small dance floor that can be divided at will can be used for dance practice and tryst. The two-story ballroom is fully used and can accommodate thousands of people dancing at the same time. It is also equipped with heating and cooling air conditioning and luxurious furnishings. The third floor is a hotel, and the top floor is decorated
There is a huge cylindrical fiberglass tower. When the dancers are ready to leave, the waiter can type the guest's car number or other code on the tower. The driver can see it from a distance and drive the car to the entrance of the dance hall.
Since the start of the street fighting, Paramount has been closed, the door is tightly closed, and a sign of closure for rectification has been hung in front of the door. It seems that the owner is afraid of being affected by the war and has temporarily closed down.
However, no one knew that the dance floor on the second floor of this huge nightclub was filled with Japanese soldiers in plain clothes, and it looked like there were hundreds of them.
This was originally a gathering place for the Japanese army, which was used to provide a resting place for Japanese soldiers who participated in street fighting.
Long before the Chinese Communist Party invaded downtown Shanghai, the Japanese had already begun to arrange it. The boss of Paramount did not go out to hide from trouble, but was imprisoned by the Japanese, along with all the waiters.
.
On the small dance floor surrounding the large dance floor on the second floor, two Japanese officers sat cross-legged on a soft sofa, talking in a low voice.
A Japanese officer hurried over and sat down on the sofa next to him. Then he grabbed a glass of red wine on the table and drank it up.
These wines are from the store on the ground floor of Paramount, and they are not their own anyway, so these Japanese Niuyin don't feel sorry for them.
The older of the two Japanese officers frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation?"
The Japanese officer shook his head and said, "There are dozens more who haven't come back."
The three Japanese officers were silent. There were originally thousands of Japanese soldiers here, but as the street fighting continued, there were only more than 700 left, and more than 300 of the empire's outstanding soldiers were all broken into pieces.
Of the Japanese soldiers who went out to perform street fighting missions every day, only some of them came back alive in the end, and the rest were turned into corpses. By this time, they should be in the enemy's morgue.
Although he was prepared to die at any time when he stayed, watching his comrades die one by one, it is easy for people to feel sad.
After a moment of silence, the older Japanese soldier slowly spoke, "Don't let those soldiers know this news. I'm worried that they will collapse sooner or later after knowing the news."
For people, death is not scary. The most terrifying thing is waiting for death. That kind of suffering is the most torturous.
These Japanese soldiers were not afraid of death, but when they watched the number of companions around them decrease one by one, the torture made people feel like their nerves were breaking down.
It was fine for a short period of time, but as time went on, the three officers were worried that the soldiers under their command would not be able to bear it any longer.
The officer who came last took a breath and said, "How about we find a way for them to vent their anger."
This sentence reminded the three officers, and their eyes lit up at the same time: This is a way, anyway, Paramount has ready resources, wouldn't it be a waste not to use them?
In Paramount, there are many female waitresses and dancers who are also detained in their hands. These women can be used.
The three Japanese officers became happier and happier as they thought about it. They immediately called a group of Japanese soldiers and asked them to go to the basement and bring all the imprisoned women.
This group of Japanese soldiers immediately understood what was going on. They happily went to the basement and came back after about half an hour, bringing with them dozens of disheveled women.
The three Japanese officers waved their hands and said, "Leave three of them and leave the rest to you. Enjoy it."
The Japanese soldiers cheered loudly, and then took the women who were struggling and yelling to the dance floor with bayonets.
In an instant, the whole dance floor was filled with the wild screams of men, the screams of women, the piercing sounds of clothes being torn, and the snapping sounds of skin and flesh colliding.
The three Japanese officers also laughed ferociously and pounced on the three delicate waitresses in front of them, tearing their clothes to pieces in their struggle.
While the Japanese were venting their passion, the counter of a store on the first floor moved. After a moment of pause, someone pushed it away, and a thin figure appeared outside the counter.
This is an extremely thin girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tomboy's short hair, wearing a gown, but her gender has been revealed by her breasts that have begun to develop.
After listening to the noise upstairs, the girl tiptoed toward the stairs, her movements very careful, lest she alarm the Japanese soldiers patrolling the first floor.
In this way, the girl came to the stairs without any danger. She bent down, climbed up the stairs carefully, and stuck out half of her head to look towards the hall on the second floor.
The sight frightened her. Less than ten steps away from the stairs, a Japanese soldier was standing guard with a gun in hand. She only had to turn around to see herself.
Just as he was about to retreat, footsteps could be heard behind him, and he knew it was the patrolling Japanese troops approaching.
The escape route was blocked, so the girl could only grit her teeth, rush out of the stairs, turn around and rush towards the surrounding circle of seats.
This row of seats is located on the periphery of the small dance floors and is used for people to rest. There is a gap of about ten centimeters between them and the wall, which is just enough for her to get in.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Japanese soldier was attracted by the movement on the dance floor, the girl successfully crossed the stairs to the open space between the seats, and successfully got into the back of the seats.
Diving into the gap, the girl gasped for breath. She felt her heart was about to jump out, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to suppress her throat.
At this time, the patrolling Japanese soldiers happened to pass by the bottom of the stairs. If she had not come in, she would have been seen by the Japanese soldiers who turned their heads and looked up.
