"You still said you were fighting the Japanese." When a bright light appeared in the sky, Guo Baoyou said to Qin Chuan dissatisfied.
"You idiot, you know nothing." Qin Chuan glared at Guo Baoyou. The so-called "goods in the pot" naturally refers to Guo Baoyou's new nickname "Guobaorou".
"I know if I don't shoot the kid, the kid won't die!" Guo Baoyou was still stubborn.
"Then you have to look at the strength of the enemy and ourselves. I heard the news yesterday that the Japanese must have increased their troops. The large troops have left. We just don't have enough people to fill the gap between the Japanese and the Japanese." At this time, Chen Hanwen said Advising someone from the side.
"Boy, you're just a jerk. Don't think you're going to feel bad just because you can hold a trigger. Those who drown are those who know how to use water." Qin Chuan continued his training.
Guo Baoyou remained silent.
All three people looked to the west.
In the middle of the night yesterday, Shang Zhen finally confirmed that the large forces should have withdrawn.
After he discussed it with Mr. Wang, they put away the grenade launchers that had been set up at that time. Instead of harassing the Japanese army, they headed west.
The reason why they wanted to go west was because they needed to wait for Hou Kanshan and his companions to return.
Hou Kanshan took some people to help Gao Huaide deliver weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army.
They do not need to send those weapons and ammunition to the Taihang Mountains. There is a contact point for the Eighth Route Army outside the Taihang Mountains.
According to the itinerary, they should return within these few days, and neither Hou Kanshan nor Gao Huaide knew that the large forces had withdrawn from Meihua Town.
Then Shang Zhen and the others naturally need to intercept Hou Kanshan and the others.
They couldn't figure out which way Hou Kanshan, Gao Huaide and the others would come back, so Shang Zhen divided the remaining twenty people into groups and guarded them separately on the road several miles away from Meihua Town. .
At this time, Shang Zhen and Qian Chuan'er were looking at another intersection.
"Boss, I said you're not sleepy?" Qian Chuan'er asked when he saw Shang Zhen looking eastward from time to time.
"If you're sleepy, just go to sleep. I'm not sleepy now." Shang Zhen replied.
"Then I have to get some sleep." Qian Chuan'er lay down. He didn't notice that Shang Zhen looked at Dongfang with worried eyes.
What Shang Zhen is thinking about now is that Meihua Town is a big town, and he doesn't know how many people the Japanese will kill in Meihua Town this time.
It is impossible for the Japanese army to occupy a new place without killing people. The difference is only in the number. So how many people will the Japanese army kill this time?
Shang Zhen's worries are not unreasonable.
At this time, just outside the wall of Meihua Town, Japanese troops had climbed onto the wall.
The 691st Regiment had already taken advantage of the darkness to break out of the encirclement yesterday. At this time, the Japanese army was facing an undefended town. So what would they do?
It was just daybreak. When an old man came out of his yard carrying a toilet, he saw Japanese soldiers wearing yellow military uniforms.
The old man yelled "Ah!" and wanted to run back, but at this moment a gunshot rang out. The old man was shot to the ground and the toilet in his hand also fell to the ground.
And with the first shot, a massacre began!
Meihua Town is a big town with a population of several thousand, but the number of Japanese troops who have received reinforcements at this time is already more than 5,000. The Japanese troops are crawling up from the wall like locusts.
Although some Japanese troops went to demolish the city gate blocked by the 691st Regiment, more Japanese troops began to massacre, smashing doors, burning houses, and killing people on sight!
Several Japanese soldiers broke into a house where an old mother in her fifties was making breakfast, but was immediately stabbed to the ground with a bayonet.
Seeing the brutality of the Japanese soldiers, the old man of that family picked up a three-tooth rake used in rural areas to harvest firewood and plowed away at a Japanese soldier.
He dug really accurately this time!
He directly dug the tip of the tooth, which was more than a arm long, into the Japanese soldier's chest. However, before he could pull out the three-foot rake, a Japanese bayonet penetrated him!
The son of that family roared loudly, and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers wearing big trousers, but he was still greeted by bayonets. Then his wife was also stabbed by bayonets, and his two children were also stabbed to death by the Japanese soldiers. Beside your parents.
This family is not alone in the tragedy.
Another family of four was caught by the Japanese army and tied up with ropes.
The hostess of this house was already pregnant, and her belly was already protruding, and a Japanese officer slashed the command knife in his hand ferociously, and he wanted to perform a caesarean section to remove the fetus!
The male owner of the family desperately broke the ropes and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers. When machine gunfire rang out, all four members of the family fell into a pool of blood.
But this is just a massacre carried out on a family basis.
As the killing progressed, although the sun rose, Plum Blossom Town under the sun was filled with coldness and killing, as if it had become a hell on earth.
During this whole day, more than 1,200 residents of Meihua Town were killed by the Japanese army. The streets were filled with blood and there was a sticky feeling when you stepped on it.
In the afternoon, more than 100 villagers were driven into a compound by the Japanese army. Then machine gunfire rang out and the villagers fell one after another.
At this time, the Japanese army drove some young and middle-aged people and threw those who were killed into the pit in the vegetable cellar in the yard. Then those who were carrying the corpses were also shot and killed by the Japanese soldiers next to the pit in the vegetable cellar.
At night, at the scene of the massacre, another sign was erected, which read "The place where the Chinese army died in battle."
In order to cover up their crimes, the Japanese army shamelessly killed civilians as the result of their war.
If you thought that the evil deeds of the Japanese army ended here, you would be wrong. More than 100 women were forcibly dragged to a powder room compound by the Japanese army. Eleven pregnant women who were about to give birth were directly caesarean sectioned by the Japanese army, and their fetuses were hung on trees for target practice.
This massacre lasted for four days and three nights. The number of civilians killed in Meihua Town reached 1,547, and 46 families were wiped out. More than 100 women were insulted and abused. Houses were burned down, property was looted, ruins were everywhere, and the atrocities committed by the Japanese army were too numerous to describe!
In the Ming Dynasty, when the Japanese pirates, the ancestors of the Japanese army, entered the southeast coast, they used to pour boiling water on the babies on the southeast coast and listen to the babies' cries for fun.
Who would have thought that hundreds of years later, this tragic scene would appear again on the land of China.
Later, there was a well-known song called "Singing the Cowherd of Erxiao Erxiao". It said that a child named Wang Erxiao led the Japanese soldiers who went into the mountains to attack the Eighth Route Army's ambush circle. In the end, Wang Erxiao was captured by the Japanese. He picked it up with a military bayonet and fell to death on the rocks.
This situation was by no means unique during the 14 years that the Japanese invaders were in China.
The Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation. Although we should not advocate war, we must not forget the history that happened. After a few years, we, the descendants of the Chinese, will never have the right to forgive our ancestors.
Because our ancestors include those anti-Japanese martyrs, as well as those ancestors who originally loved peace but died at the hands of the invaders.
History will always remember those days, October 12 to 15, the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937).
In later generations, a stone tablet was erected in Meihua Town with the words "Meihua Town Massacre Site" written on it.
