In their invasion of China, the Japanese often diverted themselves with torturing and killing the Chinese. Women who refused to have sex with Japanese soldiers sometimes had their breasts cut off, or were burned with cigarettes and tortured with electric shocks. And women in labour sometimes had their legs bound so that they and their children died in horrible pain.One former Japanese soldier told the New York Times his first orders after arriving in China in 1940 were to execute eight or nine Chinese prisoners. The killing was regarded as a final test in the education of novice soldiers.The brutality continued right until the end of World War II. In February 1945, Japanese soldiers stationed in Shansi showed their courage by stabbing to death a large number of Chinese peasants after tying them to stakes.

日本侵略中国期间，常以折磨、杀戮中国人为乐。拒绝给日本士兵荐枕的女郎，有时被割去乳房，或被香烟灼身体以及电击。正在分娩的女人，有时会被绑起双腿，务求她们和孩子一起死在剧痛之中。一个前日本士兵告诉《纽约时报》说，一九四○年初到中国，首先接到的命令，是杀死八、九个被俘的中国人。这算是新兵教育的期终试。日本人的暴行，到第二次世界大战结束才停止。一九四五年二月，驻守山西的日本士兵把大批中国农民先绑在木柱上，再用刀刺杀，以显示他们的勇气。
