In 2018, Japan's National Archives made public for the first time the real name files of 3,607 members of Unit 731, which played an important role in the bacteriological warfare during Japan's invasion of China.
This disclosure has attracted global attention, made people re-realize that hidden history, and revealed the cruel aggression of Japan's invasion of China against China.
I understood the content of the copywriting and reorganized the following for you to preserve its core idea: Japan established a number of bacteriological units after the "918" incident in 1931 to carry out bacteriological warfare against China.
However, despite the signing of the Geneva Protocol in 1925 by Japan and the United States and other countries to prohibit the use of bacteriological warfare methods in warfare, Japan established the world's largest biochemical ** unit - Unit 731 during World War II.
This unit was supported by the Japanese Ministry of War and the General Staff Headquarters. The basic facilities of Unit 731 include crematoriums, prisons, research laboratories and barracks. Two shifts of experimenters are responsible for human experiments, electrical experiments, and poison gas and venom experiments.
Kiyoshi Kawashima, head of production and medic major general of Unit 731, explained lightly why the bacteriological agency was transferred to northeastern China: "We chose this place for our benefit. ”
These gruesome experiments show that Japan defied the constraints of international law during World War II and used biochemical ** to wage war in order to achieve their political and military goals.
According to the confessions of the core members of Unit 731, Masuda Tomosada and Hojo Enri, during the invasion of China, the unit not only produced a large number of bacteriological warfare agents, but also produced bombs, artillery shells, aircraft sprayers and other bacteria with bacterial pathogens.
Thirteen confessed after the war that many such activities were carried out in the Fourth Division, where he was located, alone.
Unit 731 conducts bacteriological experiments, using live humans for toxicity testing, because its purpose is to use bacteria on the two major enemies, China and the Soviet Union**.
These Chinese who suffered misfortune in World War II come from all ages, even children as young as five years old. What is outrageous is that the members of Unit 731 did not care about this, but instead treated them as "guinea pigs" for experiments, and carried out cruel live experiments.
According to Yataro Ueda's confession, he worked as an assistant in live experiments and personally participated in the autopsy and cremation of corpses. In his work, at least 200 Chinese became his subjects.
Yoshio Tamura also acknowledged the human experiments of Unit 731, which led plague injection experiments on Chinese, in which four Chinese were injected and three were killed.
Masahiko Takahashi's team also tested for plague bacteria, dissecting 57 subjects, the youngest of whom was only 3 years old and the oldest who was 78 years old. In addition to the experiments on the human body by bacteria, there are even more heinous and cruel experiments.
They captured a pregnant woman who was pregnant with Liuka, injected her with germs, and dissected her fetus alive for study. They carried out frostbite experiments and froze living people to death. They conducted amputations and limb swapping experiments, and even used living people as tools to develop doctors' surgical skills.
These experiments are a heart-wrenching reminder that we should never forget this history, cherish peace, and oppose war.
Shiro Ishii, the core leader of Unit 731, regards the Nomenhan bacteriological warfare as the unit's first actual battle. In order to release bacteria into the Soviet zone, Unit 731 formed death squads and successfully stocked the Halaha River with bacteria, which led to the contamination of the water source.
Although the Battle of Nomenhan ended in a defeat for Japan, it instead gave impetus to Unit 731's bacteriological research. From 1940 to 1942, Unit 731 launched a number of bacteriological attacks in southern China, and Shiro Ishii ordered to increase the production of germs and expand the scale of bacteriological warfare.
These unidentified substances were tested in Changde, China, and a large number of Yersinia pestisis bacteria were found. The bacteriological warfare of the Japanese army in the Zhejiang region brought great suffering to the Chinese people.
Years ago, the smoke of World War II had dissipated, but the shadow of evil had not. War criminal Toyoki Yamauchi confessed that the former Unit 731 carried out inhumane germ warfare, which was extremely cruel.
