Unit 731
When it comes to Unit 731, later Chinese people have a deeper understanding of it through a large amount of factual information. All Chinese with normal thinking grit their teeth and hate this Japanese army that is more brutal than demons, but at this moment, few people know the existence of such a devil army.
Unit 731 is the epidemic prevention and water supply department of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese invaders, and is called the Ishii Army to the outside world. It is located in Pingfang District, Harbin City. Unit 731 is a synonym for the secret military medical unit engaged in biological warfare research and human experiment related research.
In fact, Unit 731 is not a complete unit. Its full name is Unit 659 of the Kwantung Army. Its headquarters located in the Pingfang District of Harbin is called Unit 731.
This 32 square kilometers of bacterial killing factory was built in 1939. It is designated as a special military area with the "731" station as the center, from Houerdaogou in the east, Hanjiadian in the south, from Zhenghuang Banner in the west, from Zhenghuang Banner in the west, from Xinwu Village in the north. For confidentiality, it is stipulated that "new houses above the second floor are prohibited in the construction of new houses above the second floor" and "civil aviation aircraft are not allowed to fly over this area".
Unit 731 is divided into 8 units and 4 detachments:
Part 1: Studying lymphoblastic plague, cholera, anthrax, typhoid fever, and tuberculosis on the ** tester. It is a prison that accommodates about 30 people, and is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and Military Medical Major General Judiqi.
Part 2: Study the use of biological weapons on the battlefield, especially in the research of equipment that spreads bacteria and parasites. Minister Colonel Oda has a branch, a subsidiary of an aviation flight and the Anda special experimental field in Jujiayao
Part 3: The production of shells containing biological warfare agents is stationed in Harbin. The Ministry of the Yangtze River Estuary is located in Zhongzuo, and has two factories, mainly ceramic shell shell manufacturing plants, used to produce "Shijing-type" ceramic bacterial bombs. There is also a transportation team.
Part 4: Production of various biological warfare agents, Minister Kei Kawashima, Major General Kawashima. The following four lessons are provided to produce bacteria of various symptoms.
Part 5: Training the Ministry of Education, Minister of Colonel Taro Sonoda, and later replaced by Nakasa Nishi Toshihide military doctor. He is responsible for training talents engaged in bacterial weapons and bacterial warfare.
Part 6: Equipment Department, Minister Major General Otani, is responsible for the supply of equipment and equipment.
Part 7: The Department of Diagnosis and Treatment, Minister Colonel Nagayama. He is responsible for the prevention of bacterial infections and the medical treatment of the Japanese.
Part 8: General Affairs Department, Minister Nakaru Kinzo Nakasa, later served as the military doctor Oda Sumiya. He was responsible for the financial management, production planning, and personnel distribution of the entire army.
Unit 162: Located in Linkou Prefecture, the detachment leader, the military doctor, Shin-ho, was later taken over by Shin-ho Hiroo Shin-hara.
Unit 43: Located in Hailin Town, the detachment leader is the male military doctor and the chief.
Unit 73: Located in Sunwu County, Heihe City, the detachment leader Xi Junying, military doctor Zhongjiao.
Unit 543: Located in Hailar City, the detachment leader, Hirozen Kato.
Unit 9: Founded in Dalian City, it was assigned to Unit 731 in 1939
In the central area of bacterial research, production and testing, two lines of defense were set up: the first line of defense was a three-meter high wall, with a high voltage grid set up on the high wall, and protective trenches were set up outside the wall. The east, south, west, and north guard stations were set up around the wall. Only personnel from the headquarters of the 731 troops were allowed to enter and exit. Along the wall, there were Japanese soldiers patrolling, and a lookout surveillance post was set up at the north-south commanding heights of the power squad, water supply tower and "Square Tower". The second line of defense was set up around the "Square Tower" with earth walls surrounding it. This is the central place for bacterial research, production and testing. On the empty fields on both sides of the main building, there are two secret prisons, where the people being tested were locked.
Unit 731 was fully put into production in 1940, and the factory has strong bacterial production equipment. It has 4 incubators; 4 boilers with a capacity of 1 ton of culture medium and 2 ton of culture medium boilers; it has 18 oo incubators; 3 nutrient solution disinfectors, 5 thermos, and two culture solution cooling chambers. This bacterial factory can produce 300 million microorganisms with medium reproduction capabilities in each production cycle. Due to the large output of bacteria, it has to use centimeters to calculate the volume of bacterial clumps, or use kilograms to calculate the weight of bacteria. According to the calculations of the former 731 team members, this bacterial factory can produce 300 kilograms of plague bacteria, 700 kilograms of anthrax bacteria, or 100 kilograms of typhoid bacteria, or 100 kilograms of cholera bacteria.
After June 22, 1941, the Japanese Chief of Staff asked to step up preparations for the bacterial war. From then on, Unit 731 became more busy, and the machines were activated day and night to increase the output of various bacteria. As the bacterial output increased, the plan of the headquarters and each detachment to cultivate mice, fleas and other vectors was also increased. Despite this, he felt that the media was insufficient, so he assigned the task of handing over the chinchillas to the Chinese people near the headquarters and each detachment.
"731" becomes a bacterial murderous demon cave
Japanese militarists began to conduct bacterial tests on animals. Later, in order to achieve direct results, they inhumanely used humans as materials for bacterial tests. The Chinese, former Soviets, Mongolians, and Koreans who were imprisoned in secret prisons were called "wood", and this term means that they can be slaughtered at will.
The "Takahashi" military doctor who specializes in plague research often locks the detained personnel in a transparent isolation room, injects murine fluid into the subjects, and observes the lesions of the "wood" through the observation hole. A few hours later, the lymph glands of these subjects were red and swollen, their faces and chests turned purple-black, and their skin became dull and pink...
"Yosumura Ban" specializes in studying frostbite. They took the person under test to a cold open-air square, forcing the detainees to insert their hands and feet into a cold water bucket, then pulled out their hands and feet to freeze. After a certain period of time, the tester knocked them with a stick. If the hands and feet were conscious, they had to continue to freeze. This is the first step, requiring the study of what temperature to cause frostbite and how long it would take to cause frostbite. After the hands and feet were numb, they were taken into the greenhouse and began a variety of experiments in the second step: sometimes forcing the person under test to insert his hands and feet into water at different temperatures, mainly studying the changes under different temperature conditions after frostbite. The second step mainly studies the prevention and treatment of frostbite. Sometimes the frostbite ointment is applied on the frostbite, and sometimes the frostbite ointment is applied on the frostbite, and sometimes the frostbite ointment is not treated. In this way, the changes after frostbite will be different. In mild cases, the disability is caused, and in severe cases, the severe cases will inevitably lead to death.
The testers of the Unit 731 also conducted pathological research by dissecting living people; conducted syphilis tests on female "inmates"; tests for exchanging injections with animal blood and human blood; reverse control tests for hanging heads down; tests for low pressure or vacuum; tests for excision of human gastrectomy, direct suture of intestines and esophagus; sawing off human arms, exchanging and intersecting limbs, etc.
According to bacterial war criminal Kiyoshi Kawashima confessed in the Far East Military Court: "In order to study various treatment methods, people who have been infected are treated, they are given food, and when their bodies recover, they are asked to do another experiment. In any case, no one has ever walked out of this murder factory alive.
At the end of 1943, Unit 731 escorted one Chinese in custody on an airplane to the Anda special test site. The people were tied to piles 5 meters apart and threw "Shijingi" bacterial bombs with the plane. These people were injured by shrapnel and were infected with anthrax bacteria, and soon all died. In January 1945, the Chinese people used the method of detonating bacterial bombs to conduct plague bacteria infection tests on the Chinese people tied to piles 10 meters to 20 meters apart. These people suffered several days of torture and eventually died.
According to Kiyoshi Kawashima, "From 1940 to August 1945, at least 3 ooo people died from the infection of deadly bacteria through this factory. As for how many people died before 1940, I don't know."
In late July 1945, the former Soviet Union's anti-German fascism war achieved a decisive victory. Unit 731 burned confidential information for half a month to eliminate the evidence of the crime.
At that time, there were four or five hundred Chinese people in the prison of Unit 731. In order to destroy the traces, the poison gas was turned on on August 9, and all the detainees were poisoned and killed. Some prisoners rushed out of the prison door in advance and were all killed by Japanese machine guns. The bodies were poured with gasoline and burned, and then the bones were buried in eight large pits that had been dug. After liberation, three large pits were buried. According to construction workers of Weijian Machinery Factory, when the foundation was dug in 158, there were piles of human bones, and the human bones dug out in just one place were filled with three large cars.
On August 1, 1945, Unit 731 exploded the building of the bacterial factory. On August 14, the bacterial factory was blown up and all mice infected with plague bacteria were released. In the autumn of 1946, the plague was infected in Yiyuan, Houerdaogou, Dongjingzi and other villages.
Before its demise, the 731 unit was in a state of dying struggle, and its viciousness could not be described in words.
