What is the history of coal mines in Huainan?

Huainan Coal Mine is rich in coal resources, located in the hinterland of East China, close to Shanghai and Nanjing, with convenient transportation and very important strategic position. After the Japanese army seized Huainan coal mine, it plundered coal resources crazily and used the evil means of "exchanging people for coal" to cruelly extract the blood and sweat of workers. During the Japanese fascist rule, the vast number of miners were ravaged and bullied, and tens of thousands of miners and people died. Huainan coal mine has become a hell on earth. This is another blood debt that Japanese militarism owes to the people of China.

Crazy plunder

In order to carry out the plot of "fighting to support the war", Japanese imperialism immediately began to plunder Huainan's coal after occupying Huainan. On June 29th, 1938, the investigation team of Huainan Tan Tian, a Japanese secret service, came to Huainan Coal Mine for the first time. On August 25th, the investigation teams of Japan Railway Ministry, Mitsui and Mitsubishi made a detailed investigation of Huainan Coal Mine for one month. On September 2 1, Datong Coal Mine was handed over to Mitsubishi Iizuka Carbon Mine, a Japanese monopoly group, and Huainan Mining Bureau (Jiulonggang Mine) was handed over to Mitsui Mining Company for operation. It was on 165438+1October 27th that the Japanese invaders began to plunder and exploit. 65438+April 2 1, 0939, Japan Xingya's China Liaison Department merged the two mines into "Japan-China Joint Venture Huainan Coal Co., Ltd.", which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Japanese military department invading China. Headquartered in Shanghai, Huainan Mining Institute was established in Huainan, with Tadashi Kawaguchi as the director, Jin Shang as the manager of Datong and Fujiji as the manager of Jiuyou Port. After their invasion, they sent Japanese soldiers to guard the industrial and mining enterprises in China, and erected the sign of "Taiwan Province Affairs Office" under Japanese control. Even a "joint venture" is a "joint stock company". So is "Japan-China Joint Venture Huainan Coal Co., Ltd.". They merged Datong Coal Mine in China with Huainan Mining Bureau and added the names of four Japanese companies: China Zhina Zhenxing Co., Ltd., Mitsui Mining Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Mining Co., Ltd. and Huazhong Mining Co., Ltd., which is the "-China Joint Venture Huainan Coal Co., Ltd.".
