The Japanese Yamazaki Brigade carried out a sweep along the Zhang River and on both sides of the Qin River.

"Report to the captain of the brigade, no main force of the Eighth Route Army was found ahead. There seemed to be still people in Mashi Mountain. There are several villages here, and maybe the villagers did not escape."

The Japanese captain Yamazaki was like most Japanese men of that era. He was short, had a sturdy stature, and his neck was about the same thickness as his head.

His face was covered with the usual expression of Japanese officers: coldness and perseverance.

When he learned that he had not found the main force of the Eighth Route Army, he was not in a very beautiful mood.

The new leader of the Tamayama Brigade wanted to avenge his previous shame, which put a lot of pressure on the troops.

Of course, this is also an opportunity to show off.

Captain Yamazaki is an arrogant guy. He doesn't take the Eighth Route Army seriously. The brigade suffered a loss at the hands of the Eighth Route Army before, which was mainly because of his lack of defense.

Now, more than 20,000 troops are his most solid backing. If he takes the initiative to attack and is prepared for some defense, the Eighth Route Army should suffer a loss.

But those hateful Eighth Route Army are like slippery loaches, and I don’t know where they are hiding.

He didn't dare to fight against the Great Japanese Imperial Army at all.

Since the Eighth Route Army could not be found, Yamazaki, who was so angry that he decided to implement a three-light policy on the villages in the base area where the Eighth Route Army was based.

"Go ahead!"

With his order, his brigade was divided into three routes and skillfully surrounded Mashishan.

After surrounding the entire mountain, some people were sent to clean the carpet-style.

No village or household, no mountain or ditches are leaked, step by step, no mountain or ditches are searched, no village or combing,

Burning hay piles, digging dams, clearing caves, and even deserted temples.

This is the experience summarized by the Japanese army before, and it is used again today.

The gong was ringing and the Japanese entered the village!

The villagers were frightened, why did the Japanese come without any letter?

At this time, there was no time to think about it, and I couldn't escape, so I could only hide on the spot.

On the south mountain of Dayuan Village, northeast of Mashishan, Chen Jingpu's family of eight hid in a cave with his neighbor.

The cave is relatively hidden. When the Japanese were storming, their family came here to avoid it and successfully escaped the Japanese's search.

I thought it was the same this time, but when I heard the Japanese shouting closer and closer, everyone's hearts jumped up.

They didn't dare to breathe for a moment. Their daughter-in-law covered her five-year-old grandson's mouth, fearing that the child would be frightened, and couldn't help but make a sound.

They were all afraid and had heard of the cruelty of the Japanese. If they were discovered, they would be done.

"Buddha bless..."

The woman hugged the child tightly and prayed in her heart. She prayed that the gods would bless them and not let the Japanese discover it.

What is scary comes from.

The Japanese searched very carefully and did not let a single inch of land go. A soldier discovered it and shouted to his companion: "There is a cave here!"

"The cave? There must be Chinese people in it. I don't have time to waste it here, so I will just destroy it!"

The sergeant issued a cold order.

Everyone hiding in the cave heard the Japanese outside screaming, and didn't know what they were saying.

Suddenly, something black flew in, like a bird crashing into it.

"It's a bomb!" Chen Jingpu couldn't help but shout.

But it was worse than what he thought, it was a burning bomb. It exploded and splashed out a large handful of flames, lit up everyone in the hole.

They rolled, struggled, howled, ran out of the hole, but were swallowed by the flames without exception.

The Japanese army, who started the culprit, laughed wildly when they saw this "masterpiece".

Using incendiary bombs instead of grenades is to see the Chinese die in pain.

The Japanese army's killing continues...

Villager Liu Jingfa was caught by the Japanese army and asked him for food and people. He firmly replied: "I don't know!"

The Japanese army stabbed him several times in the chest and abdomen, and fell down in pain.

Afterwards, the Eighth Route Army arrived and found that he still had a sigh of relief. After rescue, he came here.

Zheng Chongtai, a militiaman from Liujia Village in Gou, met the Japanese army who searched the mountain. The enemy slashed him in the neck. He fainted immediately and then woke up and resurrected.

They were lucky enough to survive.

And the unfortunate ones are even more tortured.

In the village, after the Japanese army captured a wounded member of the Eighth Route Army, they burned a lot of fire on the ground.

The interrogation sergeant asked in broken language: "Tell me where is your main force hidden?"

The arrested Eighth Route Army soldiers would rather die than surrender, but were still angering the enemy: "Bah, little Japanese, come to your grandfather. I have already killed three Japanese soldiers anyway, so it's enough."

The sergeant wiped the saliva from his face and gave an order in anger: "Don't let him die too easily, but slowly roast him to death for me."

The two Japanese soldiers carried the heads and feet of the Eighth Route Army wounded, burned their abdomen and chests, and burned him to death.

The arrested villagers were also tortured.

Xu Deyi, an old man in his 70s in Zhaominzhuang Village, was rolled up by the Japanese army with straw mats, lit the fire from the lower part, and burned it to the top of his head.

Outside the quarry pit on the top of the Jindou, the Japanese army tied nine people into a row, shot in front of the chest, and killed seven people on the spot.

The remaining two people bleed excessively and died a few hours later.

In Dalongkou Village, the enemy caught the old man in his 70s and erected the old man on the pot and grilled him with fire. Then he pulled him to the river beach in the south of the village to burn him to death.

After Jiang Qianxi's wife was shot and killed by the Japanese army, her youngest daughter Ruifeng, who was less than three years old, was still raising breasts in her mother's arms. The 12-year-old eldest daughter and the 6-year-old second daughter cried and shouted, "Mom Go Home."

Hearing the crying of the child, the Japanese had no compassion and laughed and stabbed him to death with a bayonet.

The Japanese devils are inhumane and kill people regardless of gender, age, and even patients will not be spared.

Villager Wang Picheng suffered from epilepsy in front of Mashishan and was killed by the Japanese army with stones.

There are all kinds of ways to kill people.

After being caught by the Japanese army, villager Wang Yuanxiang took two swords on his head to test the sharpness and dullness of the knife.

Wang Zhengui was caught by the Japanese army, and he first cut off one of his ears and then killed them with a knife.

After being knocked unconscious by the Japanese army with a wooden stick, Wang Zhenxian tied his neck with a rope and dragged it on the ground.

The villagers were killed by the Japanese in various ways, and soon all the villages were killed.

Snatch them all, kill them all, burn them all!

After robbing and killing, it will be the turn to burn.

Houses were lit one by one, and the villages were lit with raging fires, and the black smoke rushed to the sky, and the sky turned black.

At this moment, this scene is like purgatory on earth.

Afterwards, someone came to find that the houses in the villages around Mashishan had been destroyed unprecedentedly.

More than half of the burned houses in each village were devastated, and everything seemed to be burned, which was terrible.

Almost none of the houses are complete, and there are ruins everywhere;

Next to the street, the trees in the yard were burned bare, and even the stone mills in the yard were burned to pieces.

The howling cold wind, wrapped in the remaining ashes, flew in the sky, exuding a choking and burning breath

In the evening, Yamazaki Brigade camped in Shibo Village. The poultry and livestock that he stolen during the day were eaten up and the furniture was split into wood and ignited.

After a round of "sweeping" by the inhuman Yamazaki Brigade. More than 500 residents in four villages near Mashishan were brutally killed, and this place almost became a dead place.

According to survivors, this time, every village was robbed and every household was hit by disaster, and corpses were everywhere on the Mashi Mountain.

ps: The above evil deeds of the Japanese army are not made up, but they have real deeds.
