War crimes
"In February 1942, I served as the 163rd infantry regiment commander when stationed in Hebei Province near Baoding, where we "arrested and imprisoned about 20 Chinese", and "killed them using methods of execution". "In March", "because approximately 10 meters of track was removed from the Wangdu Railway Station and Qing Feng Dian Railway Station on the Jinghan railway", "we captured 10 suspects, torturing and killing 3 or 4 of them". "In May", "near Wangdu, a blockhouse was destroyed by the Eight Route Army", "we tortured 30 inhabitants, planning to kill 6, and burned down 3 houses near the gun turret". "Around June", due to the destruction of a blockhouse near Wangdu by the Eight Route Army, "many people were tortured, and 5 suspected collaborators were killed, along with a number of houses burned".
On May 27, 1942, during fighting in Jizhong, 22 kilometers southeast of Hebei County, "I ordered the first battalion of Army soldiers to kill eight residents, totaling approximately 800 people". "We used red and gas tubes with machine gun fire, not only targeting Eight Route Army soldiers, but also shooting residents attempting to escape. During mopping-up operations in the village, many residents fled into tunnels, where we threw in red and gas tubes, causing asphyxiation. Others who attempted to escape were killed with cruelty". Aggressive combat resulted in ", causing losses to the Chinese people of approximately 1100 deaths, the destruction of 10 buildings, 3 damaged buildings, and the looting of 450 buildings over 10 days, along with the seizure of 240 buildings and 8 turrets (over approximately 10 days)".
In the spring of 1943, in the northwestern region of Hebei Xingtang, the second brigade "killed eight army residents and about 250 people, destroying approximately 50 houses". "The armed forces (recorded before the action, each road lineup will ascertain group) of residents, were forced to step on land mines and then slaughtered".
In May 1944, in Henan, Songxian, for a missing soldier, "dozens of residents were arrested, and 5 or 6 were killed, along with the burning of three houses".
In June 1945, in Henan "from Xichuan to Xixia", "with a captive group (I think about 50 or so), near a tofu shop, feeling it was difficult to move forward, I ordered the troops to kill a prisoner", "all the captives were killed".[1]
