When the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) attacked Nanking on March 24, 1927, the Chinese soldiers disobedient to the army regulations and Chinese civilians totally indifferent to the laws and orders relentlessly attacked and indulged in looting the Japanese residences and shops. They furthermore inflicted violent acts and injuries on the Japanese residents (including children and women). A particular attention must be paid to the fact that they even attacked a consul at Consulate of Japan in Nanking and plundered every item.
One soldier of our Imperial Japanese Navy who came to rescue them was killed by a stray bullet. In the incident, Japanese citizens of 51 households suffered damages and one soldier was killed. Total damages were estimated to be more than 2.31 million Yen. -from a report made by Mr. Mamoru Shigemitsu, Minister of Consulate-General of Japan in China.
Note: 2.31 million Yen is estimated to be 1.3 billion Yen at the current value.
