BEIJING, Aug. 16 -- China's State Archives Administration (SAA) on Saturday published the last of 45 confessions by convicted Japanese war criminals it planned to release in response to Japanese right wing politicians who have denied the country's WWII aggression in China.

According to the handwritten confession by Shoji Nishinaga (alias Ryosuke Nakamura), available on the SAA website, dozens of Chinese patriots were killed by Nishinaga and his subordinates from 1933 to 1940.

From 1933 to 1935, Nishinaga, who served as chief of the Japanese Yanjijian Island Dispatch Military Police and unit commander of the Kaifeng Japanese Military Police, led his subordinates to kill 36 Communist guerrillas and others in the Yanji River region.

In early summer of 1939, he instructed his subordinates to "deliver severe punishment (killing) to the 6 arrested Communist guerrillas and Kuomintang intelligence operators" in Tongzhou in Beijing, the confession read.

He also ordered military police to kill a total of 12 Chinese patriots when he served in Kaifeng from August 1939 to November 1940, it added.
