Li Shijian: When the Japanese captured the county town of De'an in September 1938, we still had a small number of guerrillas and often fought with Japanese soldiers. So at that time, the Japanese devils arrested people everywhere, and anyway, they didn't know the guerrillas, so they could only arrest people when they saw them, and they also killed people indiscriminately. The following year, in February 1939, the Japanese sprinkled poison on our airplanes, and most of the common people at that time were barefoot, and as soon as they touched something with poison, their feet would rot, and many people could not run because of rotten feet, so they could only stay at home and wait for death.
My aunts and uncles were poisoned by the Japanese, and most of the people in this area were poisoned, and their feet would be broken and rotten if they were scratched by their hands. Li Yingfa from our village was also killed by devils, as well as a father and three sons of Li Fuyuan's family, who were caught by devils because they could not take them away because they had too many children and did not escape, and as a result, the whole family was killed by Japanese devils.
The wife of a group of Xu xx was once caught by the Japanese on the pond corner in front of the village, and was killed by 12 Japanese devils. Because she was in good health, she didn't die at the time, and barely survived, and it seems that she died a few years ago. I also heard that the Japanese devils killed many people by the pond of the Yu family, and someone saw that the whole pond was full of corpses.
In 1942, the invading Japanese army used poison gas while "sweeping" Dingxian County, Hebei Province. Pictured are children gassed to death.
