brief introduction

Before that, more than 600 soldiers of 414 regiment of 61 army of Yan Xishan failed to evacuate the masses in time after fierce battle with the Japanese army. They abandoned the city and fled. What's more sad is that a villain named sun Cunren went to the street and yelled, organized the masses to open lights and raise flags to welcome the Japanese soldiers. He fled from East Street and South Street to West Street and led the crowd to cross street. The Japanese army fired live nuclear weapons and did not allow people to move, At 4 p.m., the Japanese picked out the women, the old and the young, and took the young men to the South urn. The massacre began. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of September 9, 1937, the Japanese army created the appalling nanwengcheng massacre here. In the bloody massacre of the Japanese army, the kind and innocent people fell down one by one, the blood red the land of their hometown, and Yanggao City, which was praised as a happy city by Empress Dowager Cixi, became a dead city. Among the troops who arrived in Yanggao from the 9th to the 12th were Hasegawa, Daquan, Fucun, Sasaki, etc., but more than ten of them were extremely arrogant, and they were the ones who directed and took the initiative in the two massacres. One week after the massacre, an air command of the Dongtiao Corps came to live in the county government of the old regime. Under his command, there were Yamamoto troops, Sakura troops, tricycle troops, and Hasegawa troops. It is said that this command could command all the actions of the invading army. This bloody massacre of more than 1000 innocent compatriots by the Japanese army was also the result of the Japanese cavalry's stepping on the Loess Plateau The first blood debt of Shanxi people.

In 1997, on the 60th anniversary of the Japanese invasion of nanwengcheng, Yanggao County Party committee and county government built the monument of "do not forget national humiliation" at the site of the tragedy, which became the patriotic education base of the county and was determined as the moral education base by the province and city.
