The true face of tunnel warfare in Shanxi
History is not used to promote hatred, but we can't exclude the history that really happened and changed our society and people's livelihood in order to create a harmonious and friendly atmosphere. This was the time when War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was about to win. The invaders made two tragedies in Shenchi County and Yangquan County respectively. More than 70 years have passed, and that history may have been blurred in most people's minds, but it cannot be erased. On June1944165438+1October 10, the Japanese invaders dispatched about 200 people who occupied Shenchi, Ningwu and Pianguan to "mop up" the anti-Japanese base areas around Changfan and Wanjiawa villages in Shenchi County. In Changfan village, a left-behind Japanese soldier was killed by a militia grenade and buried outside Changfan village. The next day, when the Japanese invaders found the soldier missing and found his soldier's body through traitors, they became angry from embarrassment. They arrested 12 people, carried the body of the Japanese soldier to Wanjiawa village, smashed two main doors and windows and some wooden furniture of the villager Tang Shijie, and cremated the body of the Japanese soldier. Then the Japanese commander ordered the Japanese aggressors to inform the traitors to detain 12 villagers who carried the bodies, and the remaining 1 1 people were pulled to the village well. Two Japanese soldiers were holding their arms, and one Japanese soldier stabbed them from behind with a bayonet. If one is killed, it will be thrown into the well. One of them, Wang Jin, a well worker, jumped from the wellhead and escaped before the bayonet of the Japanese invaders was picked out. In this atrocity, the Japanese invaders threw 10 people into the well and killed them. That night, the Japanese invaders entered Wanjiawa village, burned all the doors and windows in the village, and slaughtered hundreds of chickens, pigs, sheep and large livestock. Spoil a dozen women. 1in the early morning of June, 945, there were only two months left before War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory. There are more than 0/00 people in Niucun Town and Hedi Town of Yuxian County, led by Peng Tianzhu, the squadron leader of the Second Squadron of Japanese Puppet Guards in Yuxian City, Zhizhong Gao, the guard squad leader, and Cui Simao, the vice squad leader, avoiding the main road and suddenly surrounding Daxizhuang Village in Yangquan County. In this Japanese raid, except for some villagers who broke through under the cover of militia, some villagers who did not break through hid in the tunnel. After the Japanese invaders entered the village, they were guided by the traitor Cui Simao; Soon found the hole. The Japanese invaders shouted to the villagers in the cave, but they didn't respond, so they ordered the puppet troops to light the wheat straw at the mouth of the cave. He also found a lot of firewood to add to the fire and a car to fan cigarettes at the intersection. As a result, all the villagers hiding in the tunnel were killed, some were burned into a purple-black mass, and some were smoked and baked to make their flesh fall off. After all the bodies were carried out, after repeated identification and verification, * * * killed a total of 55 people, including 45 people in Daxizhuang Village and 10 people who came to visit relatives in Daxizhuang. In this tragedy, the Japanese invaders also robbed 43 livestock, more than 7,000 kilograms of wheat, 6 soil guns and a lot of property of the villagers in Daxizhuang Village.
