The Massacre
In late 1943 the Veit Mihn forces would wage a guerrilla war against the occupying Axis forces. A large contributer to this effort was members of the wealthy Mao family, who owned a large number of rural farms in the northern reigon of vietnam. The head of this branch of the Viet Mihn was Bing Mao who proved to be a significant thorn in the Japanese's back. A Japanese peacekeeping force lead by Major Tojo Tonju, would set out on exterminating the resisting force lead by the Maos. Tojo would lead an army of soldiers across the North of Vietnam destroying the Mao farms, murdering its inhabbitance and worse. Many would survive the Massacre such as Bing Mao himself and his son Ting Mao. Though the Majority of the Mao family and their allies would be killed including many of Bing's other children
