During the Japanese invasion of China, countless crimes were committed on the land of China, in addition to the open burning and looting, the most notorious Unit 731 was also established in Harbin to study bacteriological ** and secretly launch bacteriological warfare.
And in order to achieve the best experimental test results, those unarmed Chinese people have become their experimental subjects, and they have selected some young and middle-aged people in the prime of life to carry out cruel ** in an attempt to commit genocide against China.
We are familiar with the "plague experiment", "vivisection", "grenade test", "frostbite test" and so ......onAnd so on......, all done in this hellish army, countless Chinese died here.
Unit 731, known as Manchurian Unit 731, was formerly known as Shiro Ishii's Dongxiang Unit established in Harbin in 1932, which specialized in human experiments, but the experimenters were basically Chinese.
Shiro Ishii graduated from the Japanese Army Medical Department, but he was supposed to save lives and help the wounded, but he did not have any morality as a doctor. In 1931, after the Kwantung Army occupied the Tohoku, Shiro Ishii established the Togo Army in the name of scientific research to conduct some scientific research that he thought was very meaningful.
For example, how much water is in a person's body, how many degrees Celsius a person's arm will be frozen when the temperature reaches minus, and a tooth extraction without anesthesia tests whether a person can tolerate it, etc. Shiro Ishii moved all the human experiments that were not allowed in China to China. It is called "scientific research".
As Japan stepped up its aggression against China, in 1941, the name of Unit 731 was officially used, and this unit announced to the outside world that it was the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department of the Kwantung Army.
Shiro Ishii was reused and was appointed commander of the Kwantung Army, with full responsibility for the research of bacteria. With the support of **, Shiro Ishii began to frantically study bacteria and viruses such as plague, cholera, anthrax, tuberculosis, etc., and also specially designed ceramic bullet shells to contain these bacteria.
After mutilating countless Chinese civilians, Shiro Ishii's murderous ** finally achieved his satisfactory effect and began mass production, until now, dozens of tons of bacteriological bombs scattered in the northeast region that were too late to destroy when the Japanese surrendered.
From 1940 to 1942, these bacteria were used by the Japanese army in major battlefields, bringing serious disasters to the people of the world, and 200,000 people died in bacteriological warfare in China alone.
Japan has always taken a denial attitude towards this period of history, but the truth of history will not deceive people. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some prisoners of war who had been lenient by New China and had been reformed from Unit 731 abandoned the secret and turned to the light, and proved the crimes committed by Unit 731 and themselves one after another, and confessed to the Chinese people with their actual actions, and Tamura Yoshio was one of them.
Yoshio Tamura came to Unit 731 in 1940, and at this time he was still full of dreams of being a military doctor who saved the lives of imperial soldiers. But when he came here, he found out that it was hell on earth. Here, instead of saving lives, their work is a weapon that kills them.
Fast forward to 1942, Tamura Yoshio has been in Unit 731 for two years, during which time he misses his family very much, but the management of Unit 731 is very strict, and they can't tell anyone what they are doing, nor can they communicate with their families.
Every day, I watched the living people in pain and struggle being carried into the laboratory, and after their inhumane torture to death, the bodies were carried out like garbage, or burned, or buried.
Doing such a careless work for a long time has already made Yoshio Tamura's mentality from fear and depression at the beginning, and finally became numb. At this time, those big living people are like "guinea pigs" in their eyes, they are used for experiments, and there is no sympathy or sympathy.
Yoshio Tamura and his fellow countryman Yoshio Sudo were still fantasizing about being more active and trying to get promoted as soon as possible, so that they would not have to do these inhumane demonic experiments with their own hands.
On this day, the two men injected the test subject with plague bacteria as usual, due to the strong contagiousness of the bacteria. According to the normal procedure, each time the experimenter who came into contact with the plague bacteria had to undergo careful and tedious disinfection, but Sudo Yoshio did not disinfect in time in order to inject a few more test subjects.
Although Tamura Yoshio warned him many times, he still didn't take it to heart, and said quite carelessly: "We work here every day, isn't it okay?" Seeing that he insisted on not listening, Tamura Yoshio didn't say anything more. The unexpected happened.
At the end of the day, everyone went out for fun as usual. Tamura Yoshio found that Yoshio Sudo, who had always been active, was in a state of low spirits, and he was constantly scratching, and his body was covered with red marks. Both knew that this was the symptom of the plague.
The two immediately fell into a panic, and Yoshio Tamura hurriedly reported to his superiors, and then Yoshio Sudo was sent to the clinic for treatment. Because the relationship between the two is very good on weekdays, Tamura Yoshio did not dislike him because Sudo Yoshio was infected with the plague, but comforted him intimately"You have a good rest, we will work together when you are sick. ”
Sudo Yoshio was originally very scared, but after hearing his friend's relief, his heart calmed down a lot. But what he didn't expect was that he would become an experimental subject because of this.
A few days later, Yoshio Tamura, who had just finished the anatomical surgery, thought that his friend had been sent to the clinic for several days and should be almost fine, so he thought about going to see him, but before he could take off his chemical protective suit. Keigo Oki stopped a few of them.
"Don't finish yet, prepare for the next experiment, the subject is ......”Keigo Oki paused, then said solemnly: "Yoshio Sudo".
This name shocked everyone present, and everyone questioned it"How is Yoshio Sudo, who was still unraveling the Chinese on the operating table a few days ago, now the object of unraveling?" ”
After scanning the crowd with cold-blooded eyes, Keigo Oki said indifferently"Now that we are in short supply of test subjects, Yoshio Sudo was infected with plague bacteria a few days ago, and the treatment is ineffective, rather than letting him die like this, it is better to make a little contribution to His Majesty the Emperor while he is alive." ”
Looking at the fierce face of the section leader, although they were dissatisfied, they could only obediently obey orders. Tamura Yoshio was tormented at this time, he couldn't imagine the scene of his friend, and his psychological resistance made him unconsciously lower his head.
Keigo Oki looked at Yoshio Tamura and asked loudly"What's your problem?" ”Yoshio Tamura was so frightened that he raised his head instantly, looking at the section chief's hideous expression, Tamura Yoshio was so frightened that he hurriedly replied"Report to the section chief, no, there is no problem, I resolutely obey the order. ”
In this way, Yoshio Tamura returned to the operating table in despair, and his friend Yoshio Sudo had already been anesthetic. Lying unconscious on the operating table. His clothes had long since been stripped naked, his body was covered with scratched bloody handprints and large black spots from the plague, and some of his flesh had begun to be red and swollen.
Yoshio Tamura had seen many Chinese infected with the plague, and their heart-rending weeping and wailing could no longer stir up any waves in his heart, until he watched these people cry and struggle to die, he could be indifferent.
Now, his own friend was just lying there peacefully, but the scalpel in his hand felt very heavy. Under the constant urging of the section leader, Tamura Yoshio began to constantly comfort himself"Yoshio Sudo can't be cured, I'm helping him get rid of it. ”
He picked up a disinfectant cotton pad and began to wipe his friend's body, the cold disinfectant water stimulated Yoshio Sudo's body and slowly woke up his consciousness. When he saw himself lying on the operating table, he looked at the familiar environment and immediately understood everything.
He recognized his friend Yoshio Tamura and kept begging not to give up on him, Yoshio Tamura frowned tightly and looked up at the section chief next to him, but Keigo Oki lowered his head and said coldly to Yoshio Sudo"As a scientist, you should show up for science, this is your honor, His Majesty the Emperor and the Japanese military and civilians will remember you." ”，With that, he motioned for a few people to continue.
Yoshio Sudo kept shouting"Don't dissect me, don't dissect me, end his short and sinful life."
The experiment went very smoothly, and Yoshio Tamura and others skillfully removed all the internal organs of Yoshio Sudo and put them in glassware. The section chief was very satisfied with the performance of several people, and told them frantically"That's what scientists should look like".This kind of demonic behavior is really no different from CS.
With the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army has shown a decline in the major battlefields, and the Japanese Kwantung Army has also stepped up the plundering of resources and the people of Northeast China. Tamura Yoshio knew that many injustices would lead to self-destruction, so he provided his resignation to Unit 731.
In 1944, Yoshio Tamura, who had not been reunited with his family for a short time, enlisted again as an active soldier and joined the infantry unit of the Kwantung Army. After that, he continued to move in the infantry and military medical departments until the Japanese surrendered.
On August 15, 1945, Yoshio Tamura received an order from the Minister of Military Medicine: Evacuate quickly, follow the instructions to return to Japan via Korea, and do not be captured by the Soviet army.
Tamura Yoshio fled from Unit 731 in a hurry, and as soon as he left the city, he heard that a large area of the buildings of Unit 731 had been blown up by the Japanese army, and there were many imprisoned experimental subjects and Japanese soldiers in charge of guarding.
Yoshio Tamura disguised himself as a fleeing refugee and walked towards the Sino-North Korean border alone, but met the People's Liberation Army on the way, and he could only follow the People's Liberation Army for fear of revealing his identity.
Tamura Yoshio originally wanted to find an opportunity to escape, but through continuous interaction with the PLA, he found that the PLA soldiers were strict in military discipline and tolerant, and the common people were very supportive of such troops.
Thinking of the cruelty of his country's soldiers to the Chinese, Tamura Yoshio felt very guilty.
In 1952, Yoshio Tamura, who couldn't bear the inner torture, finally confessed his identity and crimes to the people, he said to the public security department"I was mentally prepared for execution, because the crimes we committed cannot be hidden forever, and we should atone for them as soon as possible. ”
Since Yoshio Tamura confessed his identity, he must pay the price. As a prisoner of war, Yoshio Tamura was imprisoned in the Fushun War Criminals Management Center for rehabilitation.
At that time, China's integrity had just been in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the materials were extremely scarce, and the people of the whole country were tightening their bellies to live, but the food in the Fushun War Criminals Management Center could still ensure that there were yellow bread at every meal. Many war criminals complained about this, but what they didn't know was that most of the people in the country were still eating black bread at that time.
War criminals such as Yoshio Tamura were not only given material preferential treatment in prison, but also had the right to read books and have entertainment, he once recalled"I read a lot of communist books there, such as "The Communist Manifesto", "Marx", "Capital" and other communist books, and also read a lot of *** poetry, which made my thinking change a lot."
In order to make up for his mistakes, during the transformation period, he recorded all the experiments he participated in in Unit 731, what he saw and heard, and he knew that he was deeply guilty, and he did not want to be forgiven by the Chinese, he just felt that the world should know the truth.
In 1956, out of humanitarian considerations, China** granted amnesty to 1,109 Japanese prisoners of war held in the war criminals management center and repatriated them back to Japan.
After Tamura Yoshio returned to Japan, he had the courage to admit his crimes and actively publicized his hellish life under Japanese militarism, and he also contacted some returned prisoners of war and spontaneously set up an organization called the "Liaison Association of Chinese Returnees" to call on its members to constantly reflect on the crimes committed by Japan when it invaded China.
Since 1984, Yoshio Tamura has been touring the world to collect evidence of Unit 731's crimes and provide them to China, he once said"I'll never forget the misty, painful look in the lab that made them support me to tell the truth of history and confess my crimes. ”
In 2014, Yoshio Tamura died of illness, and as time passed, there were few prisoners of war left who still had a shred of conscience. Japan will gradually blur the truth of history, but as every Chinese, we must not forget the pain brought by the Japanese invasion of China to our ancestors, and we should keep in mind the hatred of the country and the family.
