Chapter 11 9. Unit 731 is the Ogre Cave

At the eastern end of Harbin, a large city in the Songhua River Basin, is Xiangfang District.Here, there is a road that was once hated by the Chinese people as the "killing road". The car runs along this road for 30 minutes, and when it encounters a sharp turn, it can go directly to Bingfang Station.Just at this turn, with a little attention, you can find an old road in the grass.This old road is the road to Unit 731.Among the wild grass on both sides of the road, traces of wheat fields can still be seen vaguely, and even the remains of peaceful families that were burned one after another on the grassland.Those ruins seem to be accusing the crimes of the Japanese invading army.

In the past, this was the land of peaceful farmers, and the singing of farmers harvesting wheat can be heard here. However, since the Japanese invaders moved here from Wuchang County in 1938, it has become the sphere of influence of Ishii's troops, that is, the 731 troops.Since then, not only the Chinese who originally lived here were expelled, but also the surrounding villages were merged into five residential villages, which were called "protection villages".In fact, these residents were put under house arrest, all their freedom was deprived, and all communication with the outside world was cut off. This place became a "no man's land" on the desolate grassland.In this way, this sacred land became an experimental field for bacteria troops; this fertile farmland was polluted by ferocious and highly poisonous bacteria, and turned into an execution ground where bacteria were used as weapons to kill Chinese people.

Troop 731, whose mission is germ warfare that cannot be tolerated by human beings, is afraid that its secrets will be leaked out, and hangs a sign at the entrance of its headquarters, which reads, "No one is allowed to enter without the permission of the Kwantung Army Headquarters." ". From the outside, this three-story square building is no different from ordinary buildings. However, a circle of deep moats (one mile long from east to west, north to south) has been dug around the building, and a circle of high-voltage power grids has been erected.Nearby, the sound of kind Chinese people being killed can be heard all the time.

The bacterial war criminal Shiro Ishii once said that the construction of this building adopted the German-style "secret construction method". Two of the buildings were secret prisons used to imprison Chinese people, conduct bacterial experiments with living bodies, and kill Chinese people.These two prisons are managed by a special class. Outside the prison is a concave-shaped building.From here, there are two airstrips leading directly to Bingfang East Station, which are specially prepared for the air flight transporting bacteria. While countless people all over the world were fighting to save mankind from serious diseases, the Japanese aggressors used this medical achievement in perverse ways. In 1939, they carried out germ warfare against the Soviet people and the Mongolian people. Since 1940 They also used the means of bacteriological warfare against the Chinese people, dropping bacteria on the land of China, causing the Chinese people to fall into death and sickness.Isn't this a rare crime in human history?Still dissatisfied with this, the Japanese invaders planned a larger-scale germ warfare in April 1942, sparing no effort to research and manufacture more poisonous bacteria locally.

As soon as 6 o'clock in the evening, there is no one here.The entire building became deathly silent.Dim permanent lights shone on the lead-colored autoclaves and dissolving pots; from the basement, the sound of the automatic thermostat in the hatchery and the fetters of prisoners in the special class came from time to time; A strong stench permeated the building. I came earlier than usual today.Turn left along the corridor, and there are bacteria culture tanks next to each other on both sides of the dark corridor.There was no other person in the long corridor, and the thumping sound of leather shoes on the concrete floor gave me the illusion that someone was following me behind me. When I looked back several times, there was no one there.At this time, I suddenly saw the hateful face of the Chinese who was infected with the plague three days ago because of the injection of the plague bacteria. I saw him yelling at me: "Devil! Japanese devil!" I couldn't help but cursed. After saying "Beast!", he hurriedly quickened his pace, and finally came to the "employee room" between the distillation room and the cooling room.

The employee's room was dimly lit, and there was a very small electric light at the far end, under which several workers in overalls were chatting about something.When they found me walking in, they immediately hid the bottle of meat essence on the table under the bed.Apparently, their subject changed because I walked in, too.I know that just now they were talking about the scandals of their superiors or the secrets of the factory, but now they are joking with each other.However, hearing their jokes eased my fear of the Chinese. "It's you, Tamura, who surprised us." The person who spoke was Nagashima Jiro, an employee of the Karasawa class, who is in his 40s, and while taking out the meat essence under the bed, he complained, "Look, Tamura! Those officers sell them out in boxes for 15 yuan a bottle, and they don’t give us preferential treatment at all.” Before he finished speaking, Yujing, an employee of the Tabei squad, went on to say: “No wonder people compare employees with military horses, military dogs, and military pigeons. Woolen cloth!"

Seeing these old employees talking speculatively here, I also wanted to know more inside information, so I sat down. We were talking while drinking water with meat essence. Okudera, an alternate technician with 10 years of service in the Karasawa class, took a sip of meat essence water, looked at me and said, "Hey, Tamura, what have you been up to lately? Tell us about it!" This fellow, Okudera, knew that I was under the single-line leadership of the section chief, which made me feel very proud, so I said, "Isn't the factory stipulated that 'those who leak secrets shall be punished with death'? I dare not say that."

"Fart! What a dick secret, what we do is a secret! Don't talk big, you little boy!" It seems that Okudera must let me speak, and I feel even more proud.All the fear of the Chinese that I had been harboring these days was gone, replaced by a sense of honor for conducting brutal live bacteria experiments. In order to relieve Okudera's emotions, I said: "Okudera, I just entered the special class. I have nothing to say. Why don't you let Tamai talk about the situation of the expedition team. It's almost time to go to work!" I mean 1942 In the spring, under the direct command of Commander Shiro Ishii, an expedition was sent to spread germs to South China, and it has just returned.When I say this, the other three people also support it.

"Well, okay!" Okudera's employee was dignified because of his old qualifications. He said, "Employee Yujing, just talk about going to Hangzhou to play with women, okay?" I am very concerned about the expedition team. Interesting, because after the expedition team came back, the army seemed to have changed. The section chief and squad leader lost their temper with the squad members every day. "Well, it's okay to talk about it, but this matter is a secret among secrets. If it spreads out, I will lose my head!" The pale Yujing started like this: "The expedition team was organized in March 1942. Set up in Shanghai and Hankou, and use these two places as bases to spread bacteria."

"How about the bacteria we cultivated?" Okuji was very concerned about the bacteria he cultivated. "Honestly speaking, the bacteria in Karasawa Ban were useless, because there were too many bacteria, and they were spoiled during the transportation; but the Yersinia pestis, which was not spoiled, lost its virulence" "Really? So, which class has the best effect?" Yujing snapped his fingers and replied, "The most effective one is the anthrax bacteria from Dingban. This bacteria was put in golden rice candy and sweet natto, and dropped from the plane with a parachute. After the children ate it, soon There is a high incidence of disease, and the mortality rate is quite high.”

"The second one is probably Tanaka's fleas?" "Well, yes. Plague fleas are good, but we conduct germ warfare by dropping flea-laden rats from airplanes onto the ground, so we're exposed right away!" "Really? That's terrible!" "That's not true! The "Liberation Daily" publicly exposed the method of spreading the plague fleas and published photos." "In this way, what will happen to the mass production of bacteria in the future?" Everyone thought the same as Nagashima, so they looked at the oldest Okudera. "It doesn't matter if it's exposed! The production is still in production, and more virulent bacteria must be cultivated. The key is how to spread it! Don't you think so, Yujing?" "That's right! Because of this, the 'log' will be shipped in soon!" After hearing these words, Shimada from the personnel department said, "But Kanai! Has the pornography booklet for the special class been printed yet?" "I heard that part of the printing is finished, you pervert, you go to the photography studio, they will give you pornographic photos!" This Kanai often showed them some pornographic photos, after he finished speaking, everyone laugh it out. Commander Ishii Shiro knew that the Chinese were firmly opposed to germ warfare, so he came up with a poisonous plan and ordered Erkiban to conduct venereal disease experiments.It is for them to print pornographic photos and pamphlets. "There is really no way to deal with the Chinese! Maybe it's because they don't have sexual desires. It doesn't matter if you give them pornographic photos or pamphlets, you tear them up without even reading them." "The Chinese have really become 'logs', they have no sexual desire, and they are not afraid of bullets!" "So, it's really difficult to deal with! If they have a little sexual desire, it will be easy!" Everyone said in various ways. All kinds of cruel living experiments were used to kill Chinese people, so they have a common language. "How can a person, especially a young man, have no sexual desire? Isn't this nonsense!" Shimada from the personnel department couldn't believe it. He watched everyone say this. "It's true! Shimada, I thought the same way as you did. It's the guy Tamura is experimenting with now. The first time, I put a Russian woman in his cell, and the second time I put a Russian woman in his cell. A Chinese woman came in, and I watched from the keyhole outside the door. As soon as the woman walked in, the two shook hands. I thought: There is a door. But the next thing is out of my control Unexpectedly. The boy cursed like crazy: "Damn! You torture innocent women in such a cruel way. This is absolutely intolerable! We will wipe you out!" Originally, I thought that sending women into It made him more docile, but unexpectedly, it made him more determined to resist!" At this time, I thought to myself, do you think the Chinese people are too magical, "I must take this guy to do a good experiment and show you the results!" So I looked at my watch, and the few of them Somewhat bewilderedly, they stood up and went to work in their respective laboratories. The second and third floors are research rooms, where killing experiments are carried out. As soon as you go upstairs, you can smell the smell of animal corpses and blood.I walked into my laboratory and immediately saw the mice and guinea pigs that had been injected with bacteria a few days ago.The little animals were so dirty that their fur stood up and they were wriggling in the cage.The death of human beings and animals should be a sad thing for normal people, but for me, a person who studies germ warfare, it is a happy thing, because it shows that the bacteria I cultivate are highly virulent , I can make contributions by myself.After I inspected the small animal, I said to myself, "The virulence is good," and then I cut open the stomach of the dead mouse, took out the liver and spleen, and continued to culture the bacteria. At 7 o'clock, it's time to take the temperature of the Chinese.I figured that since the animals died so quickly, the "logs" would die too, and wouldn't resist me like they did yesterday.I first went to the disinfection room to pick up the equipment, and then came to the special class.After handing over the special permit and entering the big iron gate, we came to Building 7, one of the two buildings dedicated to imprisoning Chinese.Two people in antibacterial suits came from the opposite side, and they carried a stretcher on which lay a murdered Chinese man with his head opened, his stomach cut open, his feet chopped off, and his muscles cut into large pieces. people.After seeing this brutally murdered person, I quickened my pace and walked to the door of cell No. 12 of the Chinese who I had injected with plague bacteria three days ago.Because of the plague bacteria I injected, the Chinese are vomiting blood and lying on the bed. I opened the iron lock and walked into the prison door. The Chinese raised his head and stared at me.Knowing that he had lost his resistance, I kicked him while saying "you're not dead yet, beast?" "Wow - wow -" the Chinese spit out two more mouthfuls of blood, and then said forcefully, "Devil! I must take revenge!" So I sprinkled the disinfectant I brought on him and walked out of the cell. When I walked to the exit, I saw Technician Uda Kiyoshi, the direct commander of the bacterial experiment, coming from the opposite side.I thought, why did Uda come so early?There is no reason!And Uda deliberately avoided my sight.I think he must have some dark secret.So I deliberately turned to the side, and after he walked into the entrance, I followed him from behind.But Uda suddenly turned around and said to me in a low voice: "I want to do something interesting, come with me!" After speaking, he took my hand and walked to the door of the innermost cell .He said to me: "You are on guard here, and if any official comes, let me know! Okay?" After speaking, he took out a key he had assigned from his pocket, opened the cell door, and walked in.I know that to enter the cell, you must get the approval of the monitor of the special class, but what is going on here?I took a look into the room, and there was a thin quilt on the concrete floor, and a woman about 26 years old was sitting on it. "What are you doing?" The woman's face was pale, her eyebrows were erected, and she had a look of hatred on her face. However, due to long-term torture and lack of nutrition, she had already lost her resistance.In the face of the invaders who have lost the most basic human morality, she can only become a victim of animal desire. After watching Uda rape this woman with my own eyes, I also became a crazy dog.I took the key out of the keyhole and used it to open the door of the cell next door, but after twisting it for a long time I couldn't open it.From the keyhole, I saw a Chinese woman about 25 years old sitting there holding a child about two years old.I put the key in again, but it still wouldn't open.So, I went to open the door of another cell, and unexpectedly, it opened all of a sudden.Sitting in the room was a very thin Chinese woman about 30 years old. She was sitting against the wall, her eyes were dull, her face seemed to be a little swollen, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up. When the woman saw me, there was a sneering smile on her face, and she asked me: "What's the matter with you?" His bones turned black.I know that this is the trace left by Yoshimura Ban's frostbite experiment, and there is nothing terrible about it.So I pushed her to the ground and jumped on her like a hungry wolf.Although the woman struggled desperately, with hatred and shame burning in her eyes, she had no resistance anymore.When I took off her trousers and saw that the lower abdomen to the groin (groin) had turned purple, and pus flowed onto the bed, I realized that this woman had become a venereal disease bacteria in Ermuban It's an experimental product, and it can't satisfy my animal desire at all.So I cursed, "X, what a bad luck!" I kicked the woman again, and left the cell. Uda and I entered the dissection room.The dissection on the dissecting table had just ended, and the blood in the "blood flow tube" was still flowing, and it flowed into a large glass bottle under the stage, making a splashing sound, and the large scalpel was stained with Chinese blood. Blood, forming a bright red blood paste. "Hey, Tamura, hurry up and disinfect the equipment!" Uda said to me and walked out. At this time, Major Keigo Oki, the head of the class, and the deputy head of the class, Hiroshi Hososhima, walked in wearing rubber anti-bacterial suits. "Let's start!" Under Oki's order, Hosojima put the scalpel and hemostatic forceps into the sterilizer.At this time, the Chinese man whom I sprayed with disinfectant in the morning was carried into the dissection room on a stretcher.Chinese faces are purple and swollen.Damu looked at the face of the Chinese and ordered: "Hurry up and inject the camphor solution, otherwise, the experiment will be impossible." Hososhima who was standing beside him immediately ordered me: "Bring two sticks of camphor solution!" After being injected with camphor, the Chinese opened their eyes and found that their hands and feet were fixed on the operating table. They did not speak, and tears of despair welled up in their eyes. Hososhima groped the Chinese man's neck, found his carotid artery, cut off one carotid artery with a scalpel held in his right hand, and blood spurted out immediately.The Chinese were already suffering from the plague, and their blood vessels were cut, their heads were bowed, and their minds were lost.At this time, Uda picked up the hemostat and clamped both ends of the incision of the carotid artery.Hososhima tapped the Chinese man's heart with a scalpel and ordered "inject two camphor tonics", then cut off the Chinese carotid artery on the other side, and asked me to hold a small medicine bottle that can hold 30CC Catch the blood flowing from the carotid artery.Although he was injected with cardiotonic drugs, the Chinese could no longer move, and the blood flowing from the blood vessels also stopped.At this time, Damu ordered again: "Take 4 more cardiotonic medicines!" However, it is useless to rescue them. The Chinese people have stopped breathing, their hearts are no longer beating, and the blood in their blood vessels has run out... "Get the scalpel ready!" Hososhima used the scalpel to cut from the upper abdomen to the lower abdomen, then from the lower abdomen to the chest, and then used the bone saw to cut off the ribs, exposing the internal organs completely. After 20 minutes, the Chinese man's body was cut into many pieces, and the internal organs were picked out in the same way. Until then, the four of us—Oki, Hososhima, Uda, and Tamura—were like four wolves eating people. Also feel tired, go back to the lounge next door to rest. After a while, Oki and Hososhima went to the officer's room, and Uda and I were the only ones left in the lounge.Yutian took off the antibacterial clothing washed with disinfectant, and said: "Tamura, have you seen the lungs of this Chinese 'log'? It must be pneumonic plague, but it has not completely died by the fourth day. .” "Then what is the reason?" "The reason is that they fought against the hunger strike." Yutian went on to say, "their Eighth Route Army does have a better anti-epidemic vaccine than ours. In the words of Technician Ishida, it is a 'virgin vaccine'. We must cultivate a vaccine that is more virulent than it. Only stronger bacteria can carry out bacterial warfare." When Uda drank two sips of wine and wanted to continue talking, Section Chief Oki walked in with a smile and said to us: "The subject of this experiment is Yoshio Sudo, this is a top secret!" "Yes!" I replied loudly. "Okay! You can also participate in this experiment! Go and bring Sudo Yoshio here! Everyone is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" After Oki finished speaking, he patted my shoulder, and then began to put on his anti-bacterial clothing . Yoshio Sudo, an employee of Section 1 of Part 4, was infected with Yersinia pestis during the recent mass production of Yersinia pestis.I thought he was hospitalized, but unexpectedly he was sent to a special class.I didn't understand the mystery of it, so I walked into the dissection room honestly. Yoshio Sudou was stripped of all his clothes by a special class member, and lay naked on the dissecting table.A few days ago, when everyone was talking about women, he was still laughing, but now he has completely changed his face, he is already skinny, with a lot of purple spots on his body, and there are many cracks and bloodstains.Tears were streaming from his half-open eyes, his mouth was open and he was panting, his belly was bulging. Oki gave me a wink, and I applied the disinfectant all over Sudou's body.Since the antiseptic solution was cold, his eyes were fully opened, looking back and forth, side to side. "Squad leader, squad leader, my chest, my chest..." His face suddenly twisted, and he spit out two mouthfuls of black blood from his mouth.It is said that Sudou has been calling "Squad Leader, Squad Leader" since he got sick, asking for treatment. In my mind, the scene when I first joined the army in 1939 immediately appeared.At Sudou's house, his mother handed me a small basket of fruit and said to me, "You want to be good friends with Yoshio." Now I think to myself, "I must try my best to help him! " At this time, Oki had already checked Sudou's whole body, and issued an order: "The operation begins!" I took out the scalpel and sterilizer, and handed the scalpel to Hososhima. Handed it to Uda and said: "Hey, Technician Uda, do it!" Uda glanced at Oki, took the scalpel, and stroked Sudou's abdomen with his left hand to confirm the incision.Sudou thought it was an operation to treat his illness, and said sincerely: "Section Chief, I'm sorry, let's do the operation quickly, I'm not afraid of pain, really!" At this moment, the scalpel in Uda's hand trembled. Oki, who was watching beside the dissecting table, immediately yelled hysterically: "Hurry up!" Uda said "Sudou, you will become a Buddha", and stabbed upward with the scalpel instead. "Help!" Sudou shouted, and Uda's hands trembled again. "What's going on with you!" Hearing the words from behind, Yutian stabbed the scalpel into the lower abdomen again, so the entire abdomen was cut open, and blood flowed all over the dissecting table. "Bastard!" Sudou yelled angrily with blood on his mouth.At the same time, his internal organs were removed and placed on the dissecting table.When he looked at Sudou again, he had already died. A few hours later, in the laboratory of the first lesson of the fourth part, people observed the activity of Yersinia pestis under a high-powered microscope. "This is not possible now! The virulence through the animal body must be stronger! Okay, Hososhima?" Hearing the order from Major Keigo Oki to conduct more cruel live experiments, I dreamed of my future military officer's demeanor, Begin culturing the strains used for bacterial mass production. The heinous and inhumane acts of Unit 731 are crimes that cannot be tolerated by all mankind, and are perverse acts that violate the rules of international law and trample on humanitarian principles. I stupidly became a running dog of Unit 731 and committed many unforgivable crimes, and it is too late to regret it now. Starting from my own personal experience, I firmly oppose the trend of beautifying aggressive wars.We must not let our descendants invade other countries with weapons like us, kill people and set fires at will, and think that this is a just war.We should let our future generations understand the truth of war and understand that war is the embodiment of evil. In Japan, recent fiscal austerity has been accompanied by increased military expenditures and cuts to welfare services, a symbol of peace.Stop preparing for war, and use military expenditures for welfare, for supporting the hungry people in the world, for the friendship of Asian countries, and for lasting peace in the world. Isn't this the wish of the majority of Japanese citizens! Author bio: He joined the army in May 1939 and joined the Kwantung Army Unit 731 as the commander. In August 1945, he served as the commander of the military medical department of the 125th Division of the Kwantung Army. In September 1946, he joined the Health Department of the Northeast People's Liberation Army Independent Division 3. He was arrested in June 1952.
