I saved this comment from Reddit:

According to this article (CW: Graphic descriptions of dead bodies) The Tiananmen Square massacre: the one sided story - Pearls and Irritations, google started censoring images of protesters violently killing PLA soldiers the day before the Tiananmen square massacre sometime in the 2010s because those images doesn't fit the US narrative. So some info isn't very easy to find. The author of the article was able to save and archive some of the ⚠️ images of protestor violence and mutilated PLA soldiers (WARNING: NSFL - Mutilated Bodies | WARNING: GOOGLE DRIVE LINK) ⚠️. There used to be more pictures of dead soldiers but I have absolutely no idea where to find them if google and western search engines are censoring them.

You can try to google any combination of mutilated/dead/lynched chinese/PLA soldiers Tiananmen square and nothing will come up. Also I found a US state department document that officials confirmed that the first wave of soldiers the day before the massacre was unarmed and were on orders to not use force to try to disperse the protestors and that the protestors were the ones violent. From my research the violence and fighting only started a day afterwards when the students started killing PLA soldiers.

These images are graphic and disturbing. Some of them are the ones you posted without the watermark. They align with the reports in his article. Some of them are from long defunct gore sites like ogrish[dot]com. I don't know if an archive of ogrish exists anywhere. These images are so shocking it is no wonder the PLA responded the way they did. Honestly, these images shouldn't be living in some random persons google drive. They could get removed at any time. Especially if we end up sharing them to frequently. I wonder of they could be preserved at archive.org.

Maybe you can create a blog with images and then archive the blog?

I already found evidence that the PLA did not kill innocent civilians and that the attacks by alleged Communist soldiers in plain clothes in some contradiction of Western narrative are actually thugs that the British diaspora hired to kill attack and kill civilians.

The TAM Massacre Photo Series (https://web.archive.org/web/19970329011405/http://www.cnd.org:8022/June4th/massacre.html) by the original photo collection of Western journalists did reveal that the Chinese Communists did not kill the protestors in Tian'anmen Square and that the Chinese government agents were providing medical aids and public funeral for the dead victims contrary to the Western narrative that the PLA soldiers burned the dead bodies to hide the murder. There is some soldiers diirecting their attack towards one alleged civilian, but this contradict the claim that the Chinese soldiers attack civilians indiscriminately.

Furthermore, the story of my parents and grandparents stated that the propaganda video that the British empire showed to people Hong Kong only proved that people plain clothing ramed a military vehicle on a crowd of protesters. The fact that the driver are in plain clothing and that they ramming the vehicle on the protestors indicated their lack of ability to operate the turret of the military vehicle and the doubt that violent people in plain clothing are Chinese government agents in disguise.

That is why censorship from both sides can obfuscate the truth

It’s not as censored in China as our media say it is. That narrative is yet another part of the propaganda we’re fed.
