Japanese soldiers burned Chinese civilians to death: confession
Photo released on Aug. 30, 2015 by the State Archives Administration of China on its website shows an excerpt from Japanese war criminal Hoichi Matsui's handwritten confession. The twentieth in a series of 31 handwritten confessions from Japanese war criminals published online, the confession features Hoichi Matsui, who joined the Japanese War of Aggression against China in 1940, and was captured in August 1945. Hoichi Matsui and his fellows set light to 100 houses in a village in Laiwu County, east China's Shandong Province, in 1941 and burned 50 men, women and children, to death. He raped at least five Chinese women and asked his subordinates to gang-rape another two Chinese women. He also raped seven women from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, according to his confession. Matsui, stationed in Shandong from 1940 until his capture in August 1945, also brutally tortured and buried Chinese soldiers alive. He confessed to ordering troops to stab five Chinese as a part of a sword skills training exercise. (Xinhua)
