However, the editors of "Reader's Digest" insist that these incidents are true. In order to defend the credibility of the digest, the editors responsible for publishing are also under great pressure and pain, collecting more responsible letters from the safe zone, and publishing them in the digest Published on the website, they also temporarily added a note: "The information we have seen could fill an entire magazine, and all of this information has confirmed the authenticity of the typical events excerpted below."
But even though the editors repeatedly assured the authenticity of the stories published in the digest, they still attracted many voices of doubt.
Comparing the Japanese propaganda of Jinling City, they not only held activities, but also took a large number of related influences and photos, and published them in newspapers. The authenticity is quite reliable. On the other hand, the editors of the Digest, most of the content published in the Digest, It appears as a brief story and there are no pictures to prove its authenticity.
Just adding a note to the abstract is not enough to convince the public.
Fortunately, evidence of the crimes committed by the Japanese army in Jinling not only include written records, but also a lot of video materials.
John Magee, a member of the International Committee, had an amateur camera at the time, and he photographed several bedridden victims at Jinling University. Their miserable conditions were shocking and unforgettable, with several burnt faces charred and black, and their clothes sticky. Flesh, if you pull it a little, a lot of flesh and blood will be ripped off.
The Japanese army originally planned to burn them alive, but fortunately, they survived with their tenacious will to live.
An enamel shop clerk's head was severely chopped with a Japanese military saber. Six days after he was admitted to the hospital, his pulse beat was still clearly visible in the injured area of his brain.
There was another victim who was repeatedly raped by the Japanese army. Her head was almost the same as that of the previous survivor. Her head was almost chopped off by Japanese soldiers. The fact that she was able to survive made many members of the International Committee in the safe zone quite incredible.
Although the International Committee of the Safety Zone risked their lives to secretly photograph the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army, whether to transport them out has still become a huge problem for them.
On this day, Rabe came to Fitch for a heart-to-heart talk.
"The Japanese conducted a lot of publicity on the Jinling incident in the United States, but they fabricated a lot of false news. What they reported was completely different from what we saw. Although we sent letters and reports to our families, these Things are still not enough to convince many people, we need favorable evidence."
Rabe sighed: "Poor Chinese, their people were massacred by the Japanese, and they are still living in confusion. If we don't take action, the true face of Jinling City will never be known. Japan Man’s plan will succeed.”
Rabe's words made Fitch deep in thought.
After a moment, he said to Rabe: "I want to take things out, but the Japanese guards are too tight. Our entry and exit are restricted by the Japanese. How can we take these films out?"
Rabe pondered for a moment, "This requires help from others."
Then, he called other members into the house to discuss how to take the film out.
"Hiding it in the salute will never succeed. The Japanese will ask you to open the salute."
"Absolutely not in the pocket, maybe we can hide it in the hat."
"No, no, no, hiding in a hat is too easy to expose. Once the wind blows the hat off, Fitch will be exposed. Besides, there is no chance that the Japanese will let you take the hat off."
"Damn, it's really nerve-wracking."
At this time, someone suddenly suggested: "Maybe we can hide the film in the middle of the clothes."
Everyone looked at each other.
"But there are too many films, and there is still a possibility of being discovered if they are hidden in the interlayer."
"The film is not very big. We can let Fitch wear a thick suit, so the Japanese may not be able to touch it."
They did what they said, and they found a camel hair coat. This coat was quite thick and heavy enough. The film was only 16mm. It was hidden inside, so it might not be easy for the Japanese to touch it.
However, the number of papers handed in was relatively large, eight volumes in total. They were hidden in the mezzanine, so they still had to be careful about being discovered by the Japanese.
Fitch took a deep breath and said: "That's it. If the Japanese can't find them, I will be lucky enough to take them out of China."
Someone said: "What if the Japanese discover it?"
Fitch pretended to be optimistic and said: "Maybe they will ask me out."
Everyone laughed, and there was a hint of heaviness in the laughter.
Who knows if the Japanese will invite Fiqi out, but what the Japanese did in Jinling City is enough to prove that the Japanese are like beasts, brutal and cruel. Maybe they will use the same methods to deal with the citizens in Jinling City.
Fitch.
In short, no one can say for sure.
January 19th.
Fitch hid eight rolls of 16mm rolls in the interlayer of his camel hair coat, and Rabe and others saw him off.
"Man, wait for my good news."
Fitch whispered to several people, picked up the salute from the ground, walked to the door, took off his hat and said goodbye to several people.
When he walked outside the safe zone, the Japanese were already waiting for him.
A Japanese officer, carrying a Japanese sword, signaled the Japanese soldiers on both sides to check Fitch's luggage to prevent Fitch from taking out things he shouldn't have.
Two Japanese soldiers searched Fitch's salute, and one Japanese soldier searched Fitch's upper pockets.
Fitch raised his hands and held a cigarette in his left hand, smoking it leisurely.
Rabe and others were sweating on their foreheads, and their clenched palms were covered in sweat.
There was no danger. The Japanese soldier only checked Fitch's pockets and the pockets of his pants, and touched Fitch's camel hair coat. After making sure there was nothing, he let go of Fitch.
Only then did the people behind him, as well as Fitch himself, breathe a sigh of relief.
As for the two soldiers who were rummaging through their luggage, the suitcase contained nothing more than some clothes and some camouflaged gold and silver jewelry.
As expected, the two Japanese soldiers dug out the gold and silver jewelry and handed them to their commander. The commander looked at the gold and silver jewelry in his hands and looked at Fitch with a smile.
"Sir, I brought these things back to my wife, you can't take them away." Fitch pretended to be angry.
"Calm down!" Rabe rushed out at the opportunity and looked at the Japanese officer apologetically, "Man, calm down."
The Japanese officer smiled and said: "Mr. Rabe, these things are not contraband. My soldiers just brought them for me to take a look. Mr. Fitch can take them out."
After that, he handed the thing to Fitch, which made Rabe and Fitch feel incredible.
It is indeed unbelievable that the Japanese would be so kind as to give gold and silver jewelry to Fitch.
Fortunately, Fitch successfully boarded a Japanese truck, left Jinling, and then took a Japanese military train to Shanghai.
On the train, Fitch stayed with a group of Japanese soldiers, crowded in the same third-class carriage, and eight 16mm volumes about the Jinling Massacre were sewn into the sandwich of the camel hair coat.
He was so flustered that he couldn't sleep well. Listening to the sound of the train, he stayed up all night.
Fortunately, he successfully arrived in Shanghai and made four copies at the Kodak printing store.
When Rabe left Jinling and returned to Germany, he took one copy with him, and several others were eventually brought to the United States.
Later, Fitch and other preachers would often screen it before speaking to religious and political groups.
Some footage from these films has been published in "Life".
The appearance of these video materials in the United States means that a lot of propaganda done by the Japanese was wasted. But the strange thing is that although these things were exposed and some people rushed to tell them, they did not cause much waves.
Even when the Japanese war criminals were tried after the war, they were almost unable to convict them because of insufficient evidence.
Only a few war criminals were eventually executed, and many more war criminals returned to their hometowns.
Everything Xia Yuan did was also an effort to try Japanese war criminals in the future.
Fortunately, he brought back many photos and documents, including the camera he took them with.
The joyful energy did not last long, as the contents of the photos cast a lingering haze over the entire cellar.
Several times, Zhou Xiaoli wanted to take her camera and run outside to take pictures of the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army, but she was always stopped by Xia Yuan.
"The Japanese army has imposed martial law on the whole city. Besides, the massacre has ended. You need to get close to the Japanese camp to take pictures of useful things." Xia Yuan asked her: "What if you are discovered by the Japanese?"
Zhou Xiaoli said firmly: "I can die!"
"What about the camera? We only have this one. If you die, the camera will be taken away by the Japanese." Xia Yuan asked again.
Zhou Xiaoli said nothing.
Xia Yuan is very familiar with sudden passion.
When he first went to the battlefield, he saw countless volunteer soldiers dying under the guns of the US military. He rushed towards the US military with enthusiasm and almost died on the battlefield.
That is the so-called boss. He has experienced so much and has been able to restrain sudden impulses.
He said to Zhou Xiaoli: "What we have at present is enough. This thing should be reserved for use at critical moments."
Zhou Xiaoli sat on the bed.
The woman sleeping in the cellar raised her head, glanced at Zhou Xiaoli, and said in a hoarse voice: "He is right. I now regret being so close to the Japanese camp."
"Sister." Zhou Xiaoli looked at the woman.
The woman's name is Cheng Wanting, a very nice name. Everyone already knows about what happened to her and their contact during this period.
Cheng Wanting and Zhou Xiaoli are not much different in age, and they are also students.
After the Jinling Massacre broke out, she witnessed with her own eyes the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army in Jinling City. She also hid in the safe area very successfully. Later, she also heard that the Japanese destroyed the corpses and dropped them on Sino-Japanese friendship in order to cover up the crime.
Flyers, shooting related effects, fraud.
This filled her with anger and unwillingness.
Hundreds of thousands of people died at the gunpoint of the Japanese, but what they did could be covered by randomly taking a few pieces of video material and a few photos.
Cheng Wanting decided to find evidence that the Japanese army had committed heinous crimes.
That night, she and several other classmates found a camera, sneaked out of the safe area, and approached the place where the Japanese soldiers disposed of the corpses, hoping to take some photos.
Unexpectedly, they were discovered by a Japanese patrol before they even got close.
In fact, this was also because of Xia Yuan. His several actions resulted in the Japanese being much more vigilant at night, and there were obviously more patrols on the streets.
Cheng Wanting and the others are students and have no experience.
Some classmates were beaten to death by the Japanese, and she was caught by the Japanese and taken to the camp where she was insulted by more than a dozen Japanese in turn. Fortunately, Xia Yuan and the others arrived quickly, and Cheng Wanting was not harmed to a great extent, otherwise the Japanese
Cheng Wanting will definitely be killed.
What happened to Cheng Wanting was a bloody lesson. After Zhou Xiaoli learned about Cheng Wanting's tragic experience, she no longer thought about going out with a camera to take pictures of the crimes committed by the Japanese in Jinling City at home.
In the past few days, the Japanese army had intensified their vigilance and patrols. In addition, they had previously seized a large amount of rich supplies, so Xia Yuan and the others did not continue to go out for operations.
The Japanese troops in the church came and went, but no one found the cellar in the kitchen.
Living in the cellar was always a bit boring, so Xia Yuan continued to teach them combat experience and methods. Ali's combat skills improved by leaps and bounds. His body was already strong, and with some skills, his combat effectiveness gradually improved.
After this period of rest, Han Yang's wounds had solidified. Xia Yuan changed his medicine every day, plus there was enough meat for a pig in the cellar, as well as a lot of roast chickens and nutritious canned meats.
.
Han Yang's nutrition can keep up.
As for Cheng Wanting, after Zhou Xiaoli and Chen Juan drove up, her face gradually smiled, but there was still a lingering sadness between her eyebrows.
Chen Wenhua is like an old couple to everyone, paying attention to everyone's lives, and he basically distributes the food.
Of course, his training did not fall behind, and he was not as good as Ali in terms of force value, so he worked hard on shooting. He held up the gun and hung a stone under the muzzle every day for an hour or two.
Everyone is working hard for survival, and Xia Yuan has not neglected Bajiquan.
When I'm at home, I don't have much time to practice, especially after experiencing so much in the world, practicing boxing is not as good as practicing shooting.
However, during the period of living in the cellar, he had enough time to practice Bajiquan.
The most important thing is the improvement of throwing ability.
