Investigation on atrocities committed by Japanese invaders in Ningbo

1940, 10 year1October 27th, the frenzied Japanese army dropped a lot of wheat and flour containing plague fleas on this beautiful land of Ningbo, which caused the bells of this bustling city to ring frequently and killed more than 100 people. Therefore, Ningbo has become one of the experimental sites where man-made plague rages in the world.

Therefore, it is of great historical and practical significance to review, expose and study the fascist crimes committed by Japanese invaders in Ningbo more than 60 years ago.

First, the plague diagnosis

1940101At 7 o'clock in the morning on October 27th, the air raid alarm suddenly sounded and a Japanese monoplane flew over Ningbo. After circling for a week, it swooped down without strafing and bombing, but dropped a lot of leaflets. The leaflets are painted with the national flags of Japan, Germany and Italy and pictures showing "Sino-Japanese friendship", and write lies such as "There is a famine in Chongqing, the people are struggling, and the Japanese people have enough food and clothing to help you". [1] After distributing leaflets, the enemy plane fled to the northwest. At about 2 pm, Japanese planes invaded the city again, dropping a lot of wheat and flour and scattering them around Ming Kai Street in the city center. Pale yellow clouds hung over the area, and the roof tiles made a "shalala" sound, which surprised and frightened the residents.

Only two days after Japanese planes dropped wheat and flour over Ningbo, someone got sick. 3 1 that night, Mr. and Mrs. Lai, the owner of Ziquan Soymilk Store in Ming Kai Street, died of the first epidemic. Then, Wang Shunxing's cake shop and Hu Yuanxing's domino shop in Ming Kai Street next door, as well as Thailand Hotel, Baochangxiang Clothing Store and Donghou Street in Zhongshan East Road died one after another. As of 165438+1October 3rd, among 36 patients,16 died. Seven people died the next day, and 20 people died the next day. At that time, the wail of robbing the sky broke out one after another, and people wrapped in mourning were everywhere, which was gloomy and terrible.
