Construction history

Panjiayu is a mountain village in the belt mountain of Fengrun District, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. Because of this, panjiayu became a key area for Japanese troops to "clean up". From the summer of 1938 to the end of 1940, the enemy besieged panjiayu more than 130 times. On the evening of January 25, 1941 (the 28th of the twelfth lunar month in the old calendar), more than 3000 Japanese troops and more than 1000 puppet troops stationed in 16 strongholds, including Tangshan, Fengrun and Luanxian, quietly arrived at panjiayu from all directions under the leadership of Japanese commander Sasaki. After entering the village, they forced more than 1500 people in the village to gather in xidakeng, the village side, to ask the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army, and the masses answered the enemy with angry silence.

Panjiayu tragedy is one of the typical tragedies in North China during the Anti Japanese war. According to Chinese records, "panjiayu Massacre: on January 25, 1941 (December 28 of the lunar calendar), Japanese troops mobilized enemy and puppet troops from Qian'an, Luanxian, Lulong, Zunhua and Fengrun counties. Soon after dawn, they surrounded panjiayu. More than 1000 villagers in the village were also whipped. People were driven into the compound and closed the door. The dense crowd of machine guns started shooting and the whole row of people fell down. 1035 people (658 of them were children and women) were killed by the enemy in the whole village, 84 were seriously injured, and only 303 were alive or missing. More than 30 families died miserably. It burned down 1100 houses. "

Panjiayu is a mountain village in Fengrun County, Hebei Province. On July 7, 1937, the Japanese imperialists launched the Lugouqiao Incident. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and Comrade Mao Zedong, our Eighth Route Army marched into the enemy's rear, rushed to the North China battlefield, mobilized the masses freely, established an anti Japanese base, and extensively launched the people's war. Panjiayu became an anti Japanese base Fortress village became the center of the Anti Japanese base in Eastern Hebei.

The Anti Japanese struggle of panjiayu people greatly angered the Japanese aggressors. Facing panjiayu, an invincible Anti Japanese fortress, they were in constant panic. They wanted to get rid of it and then quickly. They were frantic to kill all the people of panjiayu.

In January 1941, the commander of the Japanese forces in Tangshan called together the Japanese adviser to Fengrun, the Japanese officers from Zunhua, Yutian, Luanxian, Qian'an, Lulong and Funing counties, and the puppet officials from Fengrun County Office, police brigade and police station to collude with the local reactionary landlords and plot the bloody purge of panjiayu.

On January 25, 1941 (the 28th of the twelfth lunar month in the old calendar), the Japanese aggressors gathered more than 3000 Japanese troops and more than 2000 puppet troops from more than ten counties, and took advantage of the darkness before dawn to tightly encircle panjiayu.

As soon as the sun rose, the iron feet of the Japanese and puppet troops broke the quiet morning in panjiayu. The planners of the massacre were afraid to run away from a panjiayu man and put all the puppet troops on guard on sizhoushan, while all the Japanese troops rushed into the village. These fully armed Japanese devils drove people to xidakang in the center of the village with gun butts and bayonets. Pan Fengzhu's mother was 78 years old. Because she walked slowly, the beast soldier stabbed the old man to death on the spot with a bayonet.

When people were driven to xidakeng, the Japanese soldiers began to prepare for killing in the pan family compound.

Pan Huilin is the biggest landlord in the village, and his courtyard is also the biggest in the village. People were driven into the courtyard by the back door. The back door was opened in the central courtyard, only 50 meters away from xidakeng. Japanese soldiers stood in two rows with bright bayonets in the distance of 50 meters, forming a bayonet alley. People were driven into the courtyard under the close gaze of two rows of bayonets.

Entering the yard, people found that firewood was spread everywhere, and kerosene was poured on it. People found that things were not good, and there was a commotion. People who didn't enter the yard rushed out. The Japanese soldiers standing at the door stabbed and stabbed people with iron bars, gun butts and bayonets. After people were driven into the yard, a bloody massacre began. The Japanese first set fire to the stockade across the courtyard in the west, and then a fire broke out in the whole courtyard. The Japanese shot and threw grenades at people on the walls, bungalows and gate holes.

When the fire started and the gunfire started, the villagers fully understood the situation and instinctively resisted death.

Every corner of the compound is crowded with people, and more people are running between the courtyards. The firewood on the ground is burning, and the flames are rising. In the smoke of the fire, people can't distinguish the direction, and can't find their relatives. Clothes burning, hair burning, everyone like a fireball rolling between the various courtyards. Dense bullets swept to the crowd, locust like grenades dropped to the crowd. On the two hills outside the compound, two grenade throwers also fired shells into the compound. People fell down in pieces, screaming, and gurgling blood flowed into a river. It flowed cheerfully on the flaming land, and was soon dried, and then new blood came over. People's bodies were torn and smashed in the sound of explosion, and their broken limbs and arms were raised high into the sky, and then fell down with the blood rain and into the fire. The fragments of clothes and fly ash were carried by huge plumes of smoke and whirled up into the sky, so that the village with a radius of dozens of miles could see the thick black smoke over panjiayu, and the fly ash that floated like paper money and scattered all over the green mountains.

In the West courtyard, behind the second door and in front of the wing room, Japanese officers cut people with swords. Every time they cut off a head, they lift it up and put it on the windowsill. It's about to calculate their slaughter performance. The windowsill is full of human heads.

In the open field in front of the gate, all those who were killed fell down, and those who were not killed also ran away, leaving thirty or forty children who were left on the ground. This is a pity
