The site's name is <a href="http://aidu65.com/index.html" target="_blank"> "Nankin Kouryaku to Aizu Rokujuu-Go Rentai"</a>, which means "Nanjing Attack and Aizu 65 Regiment". And what are written in the site are many excerpts from interviews that he made with ex-Japanese Imperial Forces' soldiers who went to Sino-Japan War around 1937. The followings are my expressions by reading the site and excerpts from it. If there are any mistakes, it should be my faults and I would be responsible for them. <br><br><br> <a href="http://aidu65.com/p5.html" target="_blank">Battle in Shanghai</a> <br><br> The battle in Shanghai, which was the early stage of Sino-Japan War, was fought for three months since August in 1937. Regiment 65 was deployed at the front line soon after their landing on Shanghai in October. This page tells fighting between Chinese and Japanese soldiers over trenches and creeks. They were facing each other in very short distances like grenade attacks were conducted. In the battle, 620 Japanese service men of the 65th regiment were killed. One ex-soldier said that "when friend soldiers were killed and injured, hatred of Chinese was raised". One morning, Japanese soldiers noticed that Chinese disappeared. Then Japanese Forces started pursuit battle to Nanjing. <br><br><br> <a href="http://aidu65.com/p6.html" target="_blank">Fire Setting</a> <br><br> There were so many arsons in which Japanese soldiers set fire. When Japanese Forces stationed a village, they set fire on houses which might be obstacles in the cases to be targeted by Chinese Army. Not only houses, Chinese farmers were also burned by Japanese soldiers. This page indicates that 40 to 50 Chinese were burned to death in bottom of a dried river in new year's days after Nanjing Massacre. <br><br><br> <a href="http://aidu65.com/p7.html" target="_blank">Murders</a> <br><br> This page explains how Japanese soldiers killed Chinese prisons of war and citizens on the way to Nanjing. What veteran Japanese soldiers say are really specific and detailed. So this page makes you believe that so many criminal acts were being done by Japanese soldiers on the Chinese land during the battle from Shanghai to Nanjing. <br><br><br> <a href="http://aidu65.com/p8.html" target="_blank">Rapes</a> <br><br> This page tells that rapes were repeated all the time. And one ex-soldiers says that in order to prevent rumors from widespread that Japanese soldiers commit rapes, after raping, they usually killed the victims. Severe rapes by soldiers, Imperial Japanese Force developed "Comfort Women" system. <br><br><br> Mr.Nishino's site has still more. But for today, I would like to stop writing about the site. <br><br><br> <!--  % % THE END OF WRITING PART  % % --> </font face> </font color> </span> <a href="11.html" target="_self"> <img src="../../pic/previous.GIF" width="100" height="25" alt="link to previous page"> </a> <a href="23.html" target="_self"> <img src="../../pic/next.GIF" width="100" height="25" alt="link to next page"> </a> <a href="#toptop"> <img src="../../pic/top.GIF" width="100" height="25" alt="link to the top of current page"> </a> <a href="../../nikki.html" target="_self"> <img src="../../pic/diary.GIF" width="100" height="25" alt="link to next page"> </a> </td> <td width="120" valign="top" cellpadding="10" bgcolor="#D6EAFF"> <span style="font-size: 9pt;"> <font color="#E01170"> <b> CHAPTER II RENUNCIATION OF WAR <br> Article 9. <br> </b> </font color> </span> <a href="../../article9_Japan_constitution.html" target="_self"> <img src="../../pic/japan_peace.JPG" width="100" height="147" alt="Do not go to war.
