The heavens start from Changjin Lake

On December 1937, 12, Japan's "Tokyo Nichichi Shimbun" reported on this inhumane killing match.

Toshiaki Mukai and Takeshi Noda engage in a 'killing contest' at the foot of Purple Mountain.

When Noda heard this suggestion, which he had never heard before, he clapped his hands and said, "Let's compete. Tell me, how do you compete?"

"How else can you compare killing people? Of course it's about who kills the most. It's that simple."

After hearing this, Noda thought briefly: "I have a suggestion. Whoever kills 100 people first will be the murder champion. How about that?"

Toshiaki Mukai agreed with Noda's suggestion. For them, killing an individual is as simple as killing an ant. To increase the difficulty, Toshiaki Mukai even suggested not using a gun but chopping with a knife. This is the only way to kill. Enjoyable.

"Okay, okay." Noda asked again: "Where should we meet? I think how about we fight all the way to Xinjiekou?"

"No, no, no!" Mukai Toshiaki objected. He felt that Xinjiekou was too close, and it would be unsatisfactory to kill all the way. "I think we should kill in the direction of Xinjiekou, and then kill in the direction of Zhongshan Gate. , we stand at the gate of success and look at our achievements along the way, that’s what we enjoy.”

"It's a deal." Noda took two puffs of his cigarette, left the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped hard on the cigarette butt with his leather boots, crushed it twice, and shouted: "The killing contest has begun. You are on the right side of the street, and I am on the right side of the street." On the left side of the street, whoever shoots first at the target in the middle gets the shot."

The two murderers shook hands, and then they told their respective deputy squadron leaders about their plans. When the inhumane Japs heard that the two were going to hold such a strange competition, they all clapped and praised them, and the deputy squadron leader even cheered them up. Come on, be their referee.

Without further ado, the two of them turned right and came to Mochou Road. A young man in his 30s had just walked out of an alley on the left. Mukai Toshiaki rushed up, drew out his Japanese sword and slashed hard at the unresponsive man. Blood spurted out from the young man's body, and the Japanese sword was instantly covered with blood.

The young man didn't react at all. He only felt severe pain in his body and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Mukai Toshiaki was worried that the man was not dead, so he stabbed him twice in the chest until he lay on the ground without any movement, then gave up.

This scene was seen by an old man, with a look of grief on his face. He screamed and ran to the young man's body, kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face.

The inhumane Toshiaki Mukai showed joy when he saw the head brought to his door. The Japanese sword slashed hard on the back of the old man's neck and got stuck in the bone. He stepped on the old man's body with his leather boots, pulled out the sword and After two consecutive chops, the head was cut off abruptly, and dazzling blood spurted out all over the place, leaving only a layer of skin and flesh connected.

At this time, the crying outside seemed to disturb the house. An old woman carrying a dustpan came to the door and looked outside. It didn't matter if she didn't look at it. When she saw that the dustpan in her hand was spilled with rice grains on the floor, she Seeing his old man and son lying in a pool of blood, tears suddenly flowed out.

Mukai Toshiaki discovered the old woman and didn't bother to wipe the blood on the Japanese sword. He rushed to the old woman's side and pierced the old woman's body with the Japanese sword with a ferocious expression. He saw that the woman fell to the ground and pulled out twice, but there was no movement. Then he slowly wiped the blood from the Japanese knife on the old woman's clothes.

In a dazzling moment, a family of three died under Toshiaki Mukai's knife.

Turning around to look at Noda Takeshi, he saw that the other person was not slow in killing people. When he saw someone, he rushed up and slashed at the person with a Japanese sword. If the person ran away and couldn't catch up, he would pull out his pistol and shoot.

The smell of blood permeated the entire street.

After Mukai Toshiaki killed a family of three, he continued walking to Chaotian Palace ahead. He heard the roar of people in the Chaotian Palace playground, so he walked in and saw a Japanese officer shooting at seven or eight young people with a machine gun. Bullets whizzed. The laser shot penetrated the bodies of those young people. They fell to the ground. The desire to survive still supported them to continue crawling forward, but the bullets behind them severely crushed their desire to survive and shot through their bodies. , lying on the ground completely motionless.

The officer was the squad leader of their squadron. When he saw Mukai Toshiaki, he put away his gun and said, "Report to the squadron leader, these people are hiding in the classroom of the Chinese school. I saw that they looked like Chinese soldiers, so I called them out." , as long as they lay down their weapons, the imperial army will treat the prisoners preferentially. Just follow me to the prisoner camp for review, and after the review, they will be released home."

As he said that, he smiled proudly: "These idiots still believe it and follow me out obediently. I will send them back to their hometown with machine guns."

Toshiaki Mukai praised the other person and motioned for him to move on, and he led the people to the street.

The national army has retreated, and the Japanese troops are pouring into the city crazily, but many people in Jinling City still maintain a normal life. These ignorant ordinary people may think that they are still living a normal life even if they are beaten by officials. Even if they break in, the Japanese will not do anything to them.

At most, it’s just a change of government.

Ordinary people's lives still have to go on.

Therefore, when Mukai Toshiaki led a group of Japanese soldiers to the street and found the door of a small shop on the roadside open, he curiously stretched his head and looked inside.

A man was bending down to carry things and organize the goods. With a cruel smile on his face, Toshiaki Mukai rushed in and swung a Japanese sword to kill the man.

The movement in the shop alerted the woman in the house. She ran out and saw her husband lying in a pool of blood. Then she saw a short Japanese officer waving a Japanese sword. Her anger drove her to grab the door latch and hit Mukai Toshiaki.

But she was no match for the executioner. The door bolt was knocked off the ground. He raised his knife towards the well and slashed at the woman. The woman screamed in pain and fell into a pool of blood with her husband.

Mukai killed someone, simply wiped the Japanese sword and walked away.

When he walked out of the store, he saw a Japanese officer chasing a young woman across the street. Although the young woman was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, she looked quite beautiful. Mukai took a closer look and laughed loudly: "Noda-kun doesn't forget to seduce flower girls when he kills people." , OK, I’ll also take some time to do a few to enjoy myself.”

He walked to the door of a barber shop and saw a young woman sweeping the floor with her head down, so he walked in, dropped the knife and rushed towards her. Who would have thought that this woman was so strong, she raised her hand and slapped Mukai twice, which directly angered the animalistic man. Xiang Jing, he gritted his teeth loudly, picked up a Japanese sword and chopped on the woman's head, causing the woman to fall in a pool of blood.

Mukai, who lost his knife, didn't feel relieved at all, so he took off his pants and vented his animal desires on the woman.

After coming out of the barber shop, he also asked his soldiers to use gasoline to set fire to the Chinese houses.

Mo Chou: The road is filled with blood and thick smoke.

In fact, the houses that were set alight by the Japanese army were not in a hurry. With thick smoke and fire, ordinary people were rushed into the city one by one, chased by the already crazy Japs. They screamed, cried and begged for mercy in despair.

This ancient civilized capital with a history of more than 2000 years is like a hunting ground. Once the Japanese army entered the city, there was no peace.

This city is crying.

Noda Takeshi's killing speed was not much slower than Mukai's killing speed. When the people in Jinling City realized that the Japanese were not what they thought, they started dragging their families out of the city.

But at this time, Jinling City was surrounded by Japanese troops.

Running out of the city is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. Some people even ran under Noda Takeshi's blade. He grabbed a seven or eight-year-old child, just like an eagle catching a chicken. He grabbed the child's clothes with his left hand. He swung the knife with his right hand, pierced the body fiercely, and pulled out the bloody Japanese knife. The child fell helplessly on the ground and cried, calling for his mother.

Noda Takeshi was unmoved, raised the Japanese sword and stabbed it again, directly chopped off the head, and then hung it on a big tree.

He stood under the tree, smoking a cigarette, and said to the child's head: "Do you know how many people I have killed? I tell you, you are the No. 70 nine I have killed, and I have 21 more, but I'm tired, I want to take a break and have a cigarette."

When he saw Mukai, he proudly showed off his achievements: "Mukai-kun, I'm still 21 dead, how many have you killed?"

Mukai laughed loudly: "You are too backward. I have killed 89, but I am not as good as the soldiers in my squadron. A sergeant named Yamada in our squadron was caught in a hospital at the intersection of Hanzhong. Fifteen Chinese soldiers, these Chinese people were like livestock, without any resistance, they were hacked to death by him with one knife. He has now killed more than 200 Chinese people."

He also laughed at himself for not killing as many people as the sergeant.

Noda Takeshi said with a smile: "This is normal. They need results to be promoted. During the Russo-Japanese War, I fought in Fushun. Every time I killed more people than the officials. How can I make progress if I don't kill more people?" ." The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards Zhongshan East Road.

The slaughter continues.

They walked and killed all the way, and the number was far more than a hundred. When there was no result, they raised the number of one hundred to 150.

The brutal killing competition has not stopped yet.

12 month 13 day.

The cruel Tani Hisao entered Jinling from Zhongshan Gate with full of anger. The troops he led suffered a lot at Zhongshan Gate. He vowed to vent these sufferings severely.

The big wolf dog he was holding had scarlet eyes. In order to make the big wolf dog full, he deliberately starved the big wolf dog for several days.

Caressing them, Hisao Tani showed a ferocious smile on his face: "Don't worry, I'll let you eat as much as you want when we get into the city."

Their bloodbath was concentrated in the refugee areas of Zhongshan North Road and Zhongyang Road.

On the 14th, Nakajima, Ushijima, Suematsu and other troops entered various parts of Jinling one after another. As more and more Japanese troops poured into Jinling, massacres were staged on every street corner.

Xia Yuan collected broken troops, placed the wounded, and attacked the Japanese army, but after all, his strength was limited, and the scope of his radiation was too small.

Just after rescuing a female student from three Japanese soldiers, Xia Yuan said to her: "Run quickly. If you see Japanese soldiers, you must hide."

The female students ran away crying.

A soldier clenched his fists and cursed: "These bastards, Commander Xia, we will fight them tooth and nail."

The other soldiers were filled with indignation: "Yes, I will risk my life and kill the little Japanese devil."

Xia Yuan led them along the way and encountered too many scenes of women being raped and civilians being killed. Everyone was filled with anger, and they could not feel relieved after killing more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.

If you want to kill, you must kill more Japanese devils and avenge those dead compatriots.

"I'm very happy that you have this attitude, but we can't be reckless. It's daylight now, which is not good for our actions." Xia Yuan looked at the corpses scattered on the street with cold eyes, and said sternly: "We will attack the Japanese at night. station."

Just when the Japanese army launched a massive attack on Jinling.

The order to retreat from the upper peak was issued to the defenders of Jinling City.

The Central Teaching Corps, which was adhering to Purple Mountain, also began to retreat one after another.

However, because the order was received a little late, when they retreated, the Japanese had already entered Jinling City, and the teaching corps was the last to withdraw from Jinling City.

At this time, in Jinling City, there was basically no resistance from the national soldiers. Most of them had lost their guns and were hiding among the ordinary people.

Some were lured outside the city by the Japanese army and massacred late at night.

On the [-]th, there were sporadic gunshots in the city. It was the Japanese troops who shot the fleeing Jinling citizens again.

As for the resisting national army.

Not one.

Xia Yuan thought that the remnants of the thirty or so people he led, now numbering more than seventy, should be the last lone army in Jinling City.

What he didn't expect was that besides him, there was a lone army, a team of more than ten people led by Instructor Li, also wandering in Jinling City.

Instructor Li planned to take the remaining brothers to break out and withdraw from Jinling City.

However, during the retreat, they encountered a group of female students who ran out of the school and were chased by several Japanese soldiers, screaming.

In order to rescue these dozen female students, Instructor Li led the remaining brothers to fight with a small section of the Japanese army. Although all the Japanese soldiers were killed, their positions were still exposed. A large number of Japanese soldiers came to defend their positions, fiercely The battle is about to break out.

At this moment, it was just a few kilometers away from the exchange of fire between Instructor Li and the Japanese army.

Xia Yuanzheng led two platoons of soldiers and cautiously groped forward along the broken streets.

It had been a day or so since the Japanese army entered Jinling City, and their undisguised bestiality was exposed.

Every day, Jinling City cries.

On the first day, the Japanese army massacred a large number of civilians. Xia Yuan also resisted. The number of people around him increased and decreased. If the team really pulled up, the target would be too big, and he would be very entangled in his heart.

"stop!"

Suddenly, Xia Yuan stretched out his hand and signaled the team to stop.

When the sound of footsteps on the rubble subsided, a fierce battle could be clearly heard coming from far away.

"It's our people!" A veteran suddenly recognized the crisp sound of gunfire, which was the sound of their formal rifles, which was different from the Japanese Type [-].

The soldiers in the team were a little excited. They wandered around the city for a day or so. Except for sporadic gunshots from the Japanese army, they never heard any resistance from their people.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Shangfeng gave the order to retreat, and all the officers ran away, leaving them as the top soldiers.

Then all the troops started running.

Some soldiers even threw away their guns and hid in the crowd, trying to fool them.

Jinling City is in chaos.

Now that they heard that there were still people resisting again, everyone was very excited. This proved that they were not alone, and there were others like them who were holding on.
