In case of resistance or anything that seems like disapproval, there is a bayonet stab or a bullet?

Does "In case of resistance or anything that seems like disapproval, there is a bayonet stab or a bullet" mean "When Japanese army encountered resistance or disapproval, they (the Jap army) would use bayonets to stab victims (or shoot them)"?

Context:

On 19 December 1937, the Reverend James M. McCallum wrote in his diary:

I know not where to end. Never I have heard or read such brutality. Rape! Rape! Rape! We estimate at least 1,000 cases a night, and many by day. In case of resistance or anything that seems like disapproval, there is a bayonet stab or a bullet ... People are hysterical ... Women are being carried off every morning, afternoon and evening. The whole Japanese army seems to be free to go and come as it pleases, and to do whatever it pleases.[51]
