Panjiayu Massacre
The Panjiayu massacre (
This massacre was the result of detailed information gathering and analysis conducted by General Yasuji Okamura, who decreed that villages suspected of harboring or abetting the Chinese communist forces were to be completely destroyed as part of creating a buffer no-man's land around areas controlled by Japanese forces. In these "no-man's lands," nothing living, and no available shelters, should exist.
As part of the strategy, the Japanese deliberately attacked and massacred the village on the Chinese New Year's Day of 1941.
