The full-scale war of aggression against China launched by Japanese militarism has brought great disaster and destruction to the people of China. Half of China was trampled and most of the rich areas were occupied. According to incomplete statistics, more than 930 cities in China were occupied by the Japanese army, accounting for more than 47% of the total number of cities in China, and the occupied big cities accounted for more than 80% of the country. The atrocities and persecution of the Japanese aggressor troops against the people of China caused the total casualties of the people of China in this war to exceed 35 million, with direct economic losses exceeding 654.38 billion dollars and indirect economic losses of about 500 billion dollars. In Jiangsu alone, there were 65,438+200,000 casualties, 2.96 million houses were burned down by Japanese puppet troops, and 3 1 100 million Jin of grain and 2.9 million livestock were robbed. The heinous crimes committed by Japan's invasion of China have left indelible scars in the hearts of every Chinese descendant.

1March 3, 933, after the fall of Pingquan, the Japanese invaders couldn't wait to establish a colonial rule system with the Japanese as the core, the secret service as the main body, the county, village and A administrative organs as the backing, the police as the minions, the Sheikh Association as the auxiliary, and the combination, trading companies and agricultural cooperatives as the tools. Trap traitors, local ruffians, bullies and bandits as their running dogs. The deputy directors of all kinds of institutions are Japanese, holding real power, and traitors act as puppets in the chief position.

At the beginning of the invasion of China, the Japanese invaders began to plunder the economy, creating all kinds of so-called regular taxes such as exorbitant taxes, land taxes, poll taxes, etc., and collecting more than 30 kinds, making it impossible for extremely poor people to live.

Vendors closed down, shops closed down, famine for years, and countless deaths. According to the report of Shengjing Daily on July 3 1934, "The working people in Pingquan County of Jehol Province only ate bark and grass roots to satisfy their hunger, and 300 people starved to death in a few days." Those who refused to pay taxes were thrown into prison or beaten to death. Later, the Japanese invaders increasingly plundered Pingquan economy and mine resources, and pursued extreme policies such as "grain out of the Netherlands", "opium in" and "material control".
