Introduction to the Pingdingshan Massacre: On the night of September 15, 1932 (the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month), the "Yangbaibao Charcoal Mining Works" and other places were attacked by the Liaodong People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces who were passing through Pingdingshan Village. The Japanese army In the name of "committing bandits" to Pingdingshan villagers who failed to report, the garrison and gendarmerie were dispatched the next day to surround Pingdingshan village, and drove more than 3,000 men, women, old and children in the village to the foot of Pingdingshan, and began an inhumane massacre. The Japanese army first fired with machine guns, then picked them again with bayonets, and even picked out babies in pregnant women's bellies. Finally, in order to cover up the crime, they burned the corpses with gasoline, set off cannons to collapse the mountain, buried the bones of the martyrs under the mountain, and set fire to more than 800 houses in the village, razing Pingdingshan Village to the ground, creating the "Pingdingshan Massacre" that shocked China and the world. .
