The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru

(uk)tony Banham

174K0

In October 1942, the Japanese freighter "Lisbon Maru" set sail from Hong Kong carrying nearly 2,000 British prisoners of war and headed for the Japanese military factory. On October 1, the U. S. Submarine USS "Perch" accidentally attacked the ship. The Japanese crew closed the hatch and evacuated, allowing seawater to pour in. In the darkness, the prisoners of war conveyed the news of death in Morse code, and the artillerymen at the stern sang "Tipperary in the Distance" until they were engulfed by the sea water. In the end, more than 800 people were buried in the East China Sea, becoming the most tragic "friendly fire" tragedy in World War II. After the incident, Zhoushan fishermen Shen Agui, Guo Ade and others rescued more than 200 prisoners of war. However, soon after, the survivors were imprisoned again by the Japanese army. The truth of the incident was also covered up for a long time due to the Japanese army's blockade. It was not until the military court tried the captain of the "Lisbon Maru" Shigeru Sueda in 1946 that the truth gradually became known. This book uses survivors' diaries, family letters and fishermen's testimonies to salvage this history that was buried by the war, allowing the struggle and watchfulness of human nature in the waves of the East China Sea to penetrate the fog of time for more than 70 years.

In the reform era, he insisted on "protection first" in cultural relics work and resisted the ideological trend of "nurturing cultural relics with cultural relics"; since the 21st century, facing the wave of real estate development and at the historical juncture of the preservation and destruction of ancient cities, he has fought against "bulldozers" and fully accelerated the legislative process for the protection of historical and cultural cities in my country.

"Chinese Expeditionary Force: Complete Oral Records of Soldiers Participating in the Yunnan-India-Burma War" From 1942 to 1944, in order to protect the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the Chinese government sent nearly 300,000 troops into Myanmar twice to fight against the Japanese invaders. After paying the price of more than 100,000 casualties, the Chinese government completely annihilated the Japanese troops in Myanmar. In this battle, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's counterattack was successful and brilliant. It re-opened international transportation lines, allowing international aid supplies to be transported into China; it drove the Japanese army out of China's southwest gate, opening the prelude to the counterattack against Japan on the frontal battlefield; it suppressed and severely damaged the Japanese army in northern Burma and western Yunnan, creating favorable conditions for the Allied forces to recover all of Burma. Most of the narrators in this book are soldiers who participated in the war, and their oral accounts comprehensively restore the history of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. The "Chinese Expeditionary Force" has been a topic of public concern in recent years. From novels to film and television dramas to documentaries, there are many works on this theme. However, there are currently relatively few works based on the oral accounts of those who experienced the expedition, especially ordinary soldiers who participated in the war. "The Anti-Japanese Frontal Battlefield: Complete Oral Records of the Kuomintang Soldiers Participating in the War" As an important part of the world anti-fascist war, China's Anti-Japanese War contained two-thirds of the total strength of the Japanese army and annihilated more than 1.5 Million Japanese troops, accounting for approximately 70% of the total casualties of the Japanese army in World War II. "The Frontal Battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War: Complete Oral Records of the Kuomintang Soldiers Who Participated in the War" selects what the senior and mid-level Kuomintang generals who personally participated in the war against Japan did, did, and thought on the frontal battlefield, trying to objectively reproduce that epic history. Among them are the bloody battles that are soul-stirring, the exposure of the corrupt military style and discipline of some Kuomintang troops, the difficult confrontation between the Chinese Air Force and Navy against the powerful Japanese army, and the display of the heroic national spirit of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army and the student army who defended their homeland and country without fear of sacrifice. "Extraordinary Incidents: Oral Records of Eyewitnesses" During the Republic of China, there were many "extraordinary incidents". The oral history materials selected in "Extraordinary Incidents" involve major events related to Japan's invasion of China, from which we can get a glimpse of the development clues and themes of China's modern history. In this book, Dong Wenqi, He Guoguang, Lei Fazhang, Li Wenbin, Jiang Yi, Qi Shiying, Zhang Qun, He Cheng, Fangze Qianji, Wang Yuting, Wang Tiehan, Kang Ze, Xiao Zicheng, Cai Mengjian, Liu Fei, Zhou Fohai, Lei Xiaocen, Chen Meiquan and dozens of other people, according to their own Starting from the "May 3rd Massacre" in Jinan in 1928, it tells the story of Zhang Zuolin's bombing, the Fujian Incident, the "June 1st" Incident in Guangdong and Guangxi, the Xi'an Incident, the Nanjing Massacre, Wang Jingwei's surrender to the enemy, the Chongqing air-raid shelter disaster, the Changsha fire and other incidents. "The Early Republic of China: Oral Accounts of Eyewitnesses" The Republic of China began in 1912. In the following ten years, Chinese society underwent tremendous changes. The collapse of the imperial system, drastic social changes, and the beginning of the new system had a profound and huge impact on China's future development. This is a period of exploration in which China's old political and social order is separated and a new social order is established. It is an era of creation that alternates between destruction and nirvana. "The Early Republic of China: Oral Records of Those Who Experienced It" is compiled based on the narratives and reminiscences of famous figures during the Republic of China who experienced this historical stage and participated in its development. It more truly reflects the pulse of society at that time. "Economy of the Republic of China: Oral Accounts of Eyewitnesses" During the Republic of China, although a true bourgeois democratic republic was not built politically, it provided certain favorable conditions for the development of capitalism economically. China's modernization construction entered the start-up stage, and the so-called "golden age" of the bourgeoisie appeared. "Economy of the Republic of China: Oral Records of Those Who Experienced It" uses industry as the structure and the personal experience records of elite figures in industry, postal service, transportation, communications and other fields during the Republic of China to reproduce the difficult and difficult development process of the Chinese nation at that time. "Republic of China Diplomacy: Oral Records of Those Who Experienced It" brings together the oral historical materials of many famous diplomats during the Republic of China, and outlines the basic context of the development of diplomacy in the Republic of China. The information is detailed and precious. The book uses rich and vivid historical materials to show us the arduous process of Chinese diplomats doing their best to fight against foreign powers, defend national dignity, and strive to safeguard the interests of the country and the nation in a historical era when the people were poor and the country was weak. It subverts the previous readers' impression of the Republic of China as a time when diplomacy was poor and weak, and shows the style of the diplomats of the Republic of China and their achievements. "Military System of the Republic of China: Oral Records of Those Who Experienced It" takes the construction of the military system of the Republic of China as its theme and the development of the army, navy and air force from scratch as its main line. It combs the formation, development and growth of the three armed forces. The content includes the development of military schools, military education, military training, major battles during the Republic of China, etc. This book collects the oral historical materials of dozens of generals in the early Republic of China. Most of them received formal military school education at home and abroad and were the founders of the military system of the Republic of China. The book is full of information and specific in content, and has important reference value for studying the military history of the Republic of China. "Warlords of the Republic of China: Oral Accounts of Eyewitnesses" During the Republic of China, wars were turbulent, "the king's flag changed on the city wall", and warlords became the protagonists on the stage of the times. This book collects oral historical materials from dozens of people involved in the warlord era. Most of them were senior military and political officials of the Kuomintang. Based on their personal experiences, they made relevant memories and narrations about the major warlords of the Republic of China, such as Zhang Zuolin, Tang Jiyao, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, etc. The whole book traces the history of that chaotic era with a new perspective and rich historical materials.

Japanese Oral History of World War Ii

Facing the darkness and speaking out for the true history, hundreds of Japanese war witnesses revealed their hearts for the first time and disclosed their bloody and cruel wartime experiences. During World War II, Japan caused serious disasters to the Asia-Pacific region, and the trauma continues to this day. However, Japanese officials have never conducted a thorough reflection on the war. On the contrary, when the Japanese civilians who were dragged into the abyss of the war looked back on the war decades later, they often used the words "unspeakable" and "unbearable to face directly"... This book can be called a groundbreaking oral history. The famous Western historians Theodore Cook and his wife tried to reconstruct the full picture of the war by interviewing hundreds of Japanese war witnesses and referring to many unpublished letters, wills, diaries, military notes, government archives, etc. There are many interviewees in this book, from diplomats to kamikaze members, 731 unit medics, prisoner of war supervisors, war criminals, soldiers who invaded China, from nuclear bomb victims to reporters, students, "comfort women", traders in China, painters, etc. They all told the secret and desperate story from their own perspectives. Nightmare: The truth about Unit 731's in vivo experiments in China; the specific details of the poison gas war in China; the details of the Nanjing Massacre; the humiliation suffered by Japanese and Korean "comfort women"; the mentality of kamikaze members in committing suicide; the details of the Allied forces approaching and the authorities inciting the people to kill each other. These living individual experiences intuitively show how the war conflicts that began with the war of aggression against China brought serious disasters to people around the world, including Japanese civilians. This oral history also reflects the huge gap between Japan's official views and popular memory.
