Chinese museum exhibits gun camera used by Japanese aggressors during invasion of China
To commemorate the 91st anniversary of the September 18 Incident that marked the start of Japan’s 14-year invasion of China, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army Museum in northeast China’s Harbin exhibited a rare gun camera used by the Japanese aggressors.
The 97-centimeter-long gun camera has a barrel with a diameter of 8.3 centimeters.
It’s believed that the device was used by Japanese air forces in shooting training and combat activities.
The camera shutter was connected with the trigger to record the shootings.
The gun camera has empirical value for the study of the history of Japan’s invasion of China.
On September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in northeast China destroyed a section of the railway near Liutiaohu and then falsely accused the Chinese military of causing the explosion. Using this as a pretext, the Japanese then bombarded Shenyang and began the invasion of northeast China.
