On November 25th, 1937, the Japanese attacked NanJing from three directions. What was to follow, was one of the worst crimes in the history of the entire world.
On December 13th, the Japanese army entered the city from YuHua gate, GuangHua gate and ZhongHua gate. They slaughtered the people with machines guns, rifles and hand guns.
On the 14th, the Japanese opened the YiJiang gate. They opened fire on the crowds. In a short period of time, tens of thousands of people were massacred.
On December 16th, the Japanese took five thousand refugees that gathered in the Overseas Chinese Guest House, and moved them to XiaGuan by trucks to massacre. The bodies were thrown into the river.
Japanese invaders searched villages, tied and arrested large number of people, more then 50,000. In the evening of 16th, Japanese invaders tied up these people with wire or rope, drove them to CaoXieXia in four columns, and shot them with machine guns. The enemy then bayoneted the bodies. At the end they sprayed kerosene and set the bodies on fire.
To the north of ZhenJiang and around LongXi and XianXia, Japanese invaders captured about 30,000 people, they tied them up and drove them to the valley in the forest farm of the Central University at GuanYinMen, first starved and froze them, then set the forest on fire from all directions, all people inside were burnt to death.
a total of twenty thousand people were killed at YuHuaTai.
The sandbank outside of the HanXi gate was also a place of massacre. In one occasion, the number of victims reached six to seven thousand. They drove the victims in groups to the sandbank, sprayed Kerosene in the crowd, and burnt them to death. The Japanese invaders stood along side, laughed wildly.
On December 23rd, Japanese invaders used several dozens of trucks, drove more than one thousand elderly, women and children to the sandbank, and buried them alive in a huge pit dug beforehand. All the victims' hands were tied behind their backs.
Another place of concentrated massacre was at ShangYuan gate. On December 24th, Japanese invaders massacred eight to nine thousand people here.
Japanese commanders used "killing competition" as a way to boost morale. They organized visiting and news reporters to appraise the "winner". Japanese's killings were so cruel, savage, their ways of killing are beyond human imagination. Sometimes, the Japanese first sprayed gasoline on the victims body, and then shot them with machine guns, a big fire set off whenever a person was shot. Japanese invaders laughed wildly, took great pleasure in it. Sometimes they would hang a person up with wire, and put dry wood below them, bake him slowly. Japanese soldiers tied the hands and feet of some people and threw them into a shallow pond, then the Japanese threw grenades. They poured nitric acid down from the top of the head of some victims, till the body eroded right away. Some Japanese gathered several hundred POWs together, scooped out their eye balls, cut off their ears and noses and then burned them alive.
Women suffered the worst.
They were not only raped by the Japanese, they were often brutally killed by the Japanese after the rape.
"Sometimes (Japanese) cut off their breasts to reveal their white ribs; sometimes Japanese pierce through their lower body with bayonets, let them cry in pain!
Sometimes they sticks wooden sticks, reed pipe or carrots into their lower body and stir, until they are dead, Japanese soldiers clap their hands and loudly laugh alongside"
