This May 27 marks the 66th anniversary of the attack on the

city of Changsha and the adjacent city of Hengyang in Hunan

province by the Japanese armies in China during WW2.
The attack on the two cities is historically significant as
Changsha suffered very terribly during WW2 while Hengyang
gained the distinction of being the Chinese city to fend off
attack by the Japs for the longest duration during the conflict.
Changsha endured very severe destruction during the war, on
a scale widely regarded as easily comparable to the greatly
unmentionable destruction seen in cities like Hiroshima (from
both the firebombing and the atomic attack), Stalingrad and
even Berlin.
The attack in May 1944 was the fourth of a series of attacks
on the city and caused immense human casualties. The city and
the city of Hengyang to the south were the targets of a very
determined onslaught by the Japs to capture territory in the
south so as to enable the Japanese military to build a land
link from the north right up to the south and beyond. It would
also lessen the threat of air attacks from enemy aircraft that
were based near the China-India-Burma border triangle.
On May 27 1944 the Japs marshalled over 360,000 soldiers for
the attack, the single largest attack column raised against
any city in China by the Japs in WW2. Changsha's suffering
is also easily comparable to the suffering endured by another
city, Changde which was attacked just a mere six months earlier.
Their sufferings must never be erased from human memory.
People must forever be aware that the results or effects of
the 2001 NY attacks were but a mere body tickle when compared
to the effects and results of the attacks on the cities of
China in WW2. Cities like Changsha and Hengyang. And many
others. Yet the US exacted a very harsh revenge for that 2001
attack. On the other hand, China never attacked any Jap city
in revenge.
After the Japs captured Changsha, they went about ransacking
the city, including the hospitals. All those who were sick or
wounded were duly dispatched on the spot with the bayonet and
the pistol. Such was their cruelty and bestiality.
Changsha had been severely damaged even before the very final
attack and the Japs had it rather easy but when they marched
on Hengyang they were made to pay a heavy price. After the
debacle at Changsha and the stories of extreme cruelty, the
defenders were determined to fight for every inch of the way.
The Japs attacked with massive air support but the defenders
resisted fiercely and inflicted good casualties on the Japs.
However, the very huge size of the Jap attacking force, plus
the incessant air and artillery fire eventually broke through
a weaker section of the city's defence and the defenders were
very unfortunately routed.
Still, the fall of the city was not a total defeat. The Jap
attackers suffered very severe casualties and it affected the
overall strength of the Jap occupation force. The result was
more guerrilla action seen against the occupiers and the big
slaughterer Tojo had to resign from his post. The initiative
had passed from the Japs to their opponents and now they were
wholly on the defensive. Added to their woes was the fact that
US bombers were able to bomb Jap cities from island bases in
the central and southern Pacific.
The ferocious military attacks on cities like Changsha and their
consequent effects must never be forgotten. Today, Tojo and his
fellow butchers have been replaced by a new breed of killers in
the western Pacific.
These killers are just as merciless and as bestial as those of
WW2. They have very much better killing weapons now and their
leaders are just as bad and evil. As for ther Japs, they still
have not returned lands belonging to China even after so many
years. Worse, they are host to several US military bases on
their territory. These bases are for use by the US forces in
the Pacific to kill, destroy and plunder other nations.
Despite all these facts, the US and the Japs and their South
Korean puppets are always ready to go to war and kill again.
They are certainly very evil and merciless and have learned
nothing from the past. Recent events have only reinforced the
view that they are ready to again go on the warpath.
The US, Japan, Seoul and even others like Australia, Malaysia
and also NATO could one day take up the sword and start a new
round of killings. Today, the cities are very huge and so, the
killings will only be even very far greater. Beware !!!
Beware of the bestial beasts waiting for the slaughtering game
to begin in the Western Pacific ! Beware of the evil beasts from
places like Australia, Malaysia, Tokyo, Seoul and other areas.
Beware of them. They are very evil. They are totally unredeemable
fork-tongued creatures. And they are secretly lusting for human
blood ! Always be prepared.
