93 years ago today, on September 16, 1932 (August 16, 1932 in the lunar calendar), the Japanese army committed the Pingdingshan bloodbath. The remains of some compatriots who died tragically in Pingdingshan were excavated afterwards. On September 16, 1932, the Japanese army brutally massacred more than 3,000 Chinese compatriots in Pingdingshan, Liaoning Province. Pingdingshan is located in the east of the West Open-pit Coal Mine in Nanhuayuan District, Fushun City, Liaoning Province, about 4 kilometers away from Fushun City. It has 400 households and a population of more than 3,000. After the "September 18" Incident, patriotic people in Northeast China spontaneously organized and established various anti-Japanese self-defense forces. On the night of the 15th of this month, about 1,200 people of the Liaoning People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army led by Liang Jufu attacked Fushun through Pingdingshan, burned down the Japanese distribution shop in Pingdingshan, and then proceeded to Donggang, Laohutai, Yangbaobao, Dongxiang and Guchengzi. On the way, they attacked the Japanese Yangbaobao coal mining station, executed the head of the coal mining station, Kuichi Watanabe, killed seven or eight Japanese, including the head of the self-defense team, Shinzo Hirajima, and set fire to the coal mining station. On the morning of the 16th, the captain of the Japanese military police Fushun detachment, Ichiro Ogawa, and the squadron leader of the garrison, Seiichi Kawakami, led a large number of Japanese soldiers to attack Pingdingshan to retaliate. The Japanese army first took control of the two large mountains in the east and west, surrounded the whole town, and then used bayonets to force the people and miners into the depression on the south side of Pingdingshan in the name of photography. The North Face of it is a wire barrier; the west is a steep wall and cliff; the east side is covered with six things covered by red cloth. At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, suddenly, the red cloth is uncovered, revealing six machine guns. At a command, the machine guns fired wildly at the crowd, and immediately, blood splattered, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams and shouts became one. The living people rushed out desperately, and there was only a gap in the south. The Japanese had already fortified, and there were very few survivors who rushed out. When a bayonet was stabbed into her chest, a woman sat up with the bayonet on her body, clutching the bayonet in her hands. The executioner kicked her to the ground, pulled out the bayonet, and cut ten of her fingers to the ground. She stared at the executioner with angry eyes, and stared at the executioner until her death. More than 3,000 of Pingdingshan's compatriots fell in a pool of blood. At the same time, the Japanese soldiers poured gasoline on all the houses of Pingdingshan residents and set them on fire, engulfing the entire Pingdingshan mountain. After the sound of the machine gunfire stopped, the entire slaughterhouse was littered with corpses and rivers of blood. The Japanese army was about to withdraw, and those who were not dead struggled to run out. The Japanese soldiers found that there were still people alive, jumped out of the car immediately, picked up bayonets one by one, and stabbed people one by one from north to south. When stabbing the dead, only the click was heard, but there was no response; when stabbing the living, all kinds of mournful screams were issued. The second massacre was until the sun was about to set, and the whole lawn was dyed red with blood, turning into a sea of blood. The late wind swept the salty and fishy smell of blood, mixed with the smell of gunpowder after machine gun shooting, and passed by, making people feel extremely desolate. The massacre lasted three hours until the end of the evening. In the past, there was only one Laojun Temple left on Pingdingshan. The day after the massacre, the Japanese hired Korean ronin to Pingdingshan, used hooks to base the corpse under the cliff, poured gasoline and burned it, and then used explosives to blow up the cliff to bury the evidence; then they pulled barbed wire around the killing site and caught laborers to lay the railway here; then, in the name of the garrison, ordered Fushun County Governor Xia Yi to make fake houses on the ruins of Pingdingshan, Sujiagou and Qianjinbao, taking photos to cover up the evidence of his massacre. At the same time, Kawakami Jingyi personally went to the Fushun County Office to borrow 50,000 yuan to bribe the journalists of the League of Nations investigation team in Shenyang to keep them silent. Afterwards, the Japanese army announced to the whole county that it was not allowed to take in the survivors of the Pingdingshan Massacre. The violators were "bandits" and their entire families would be executed. In this massacre, more than 3,000 innocent people in Pingdingshan were killed, two-thirds of them were women and children. More than 400 households were almost killed, more than 800 houses were burned down, and only 20 or 30 people survived the entire Pingdingshan massacre.
