Do you believe that demons are kind?
It was a day in late August 1942 when a goodwill group of 120 Japanese officials and employees flew from Nanjing to Quxian County, Zhejiang Province.
Leading the team was Shiro Ishii.
That's right, it's the one in the picture below.
Shiro Ishii is a lieutenant general in the Army, born in Yamatake-gun, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of Kyoto Imperial University and was then the head of the Kwantung Army's epidemic prevention and water supply department.
That is, the infamous Unit 731, known as the "man-eating factory".
So, what is Ishii trying to do on this trip?
Release the PRISONERs!
In May of the same year, in order to destroy the Sino-US aircraft group, the commander-in-chief of the "China Dispatch Army", Hata Shunroku, launched the Zhejiang-Gansu Operation.
In this three-month long battle, the Chinese side invested a total of 300,000 troops. In the end, at the cost of 70,000 casualties, the result of "China's strategic victory and Japan's tactical victory" was achieved.
In addition, at least 3,000 Chinese soldiers were captured.
Shiro Ishii arrives at Qu in order to release them.
How could a demon from hell be merciful? But incredibly, Shiro Ishii really did just that—
As soon as the front foot stepped into the prisoner of war shelter, he gave orders to the guards and steamed more than 3,000 white-faced steamed buns.
Then, the prisoners of war of the Nationalist army were gathered together and distributed one by one.
"Our imperial army has always been a model of compliance with the Geneva Conventions and of the good treatment of prisoners." Shiro Ishii said, "Eat." When you are full, you will be released home and reunited with your loved ones. ”
Look at him with a smile on his face, and the devil is not so virtuous. Moreover, when the hungry prisoners of war of the Nationalist army devoured and ate their stomachs, Ishii Shiro really "did what he said" and released all the more than 3,000 prisoners of war, without shooting black guns behind his back!
Two days later, the Japanese quickly withdrew from the area and went to other battlefields.
If you think that Ishii Shiro will be so kind and will have good thoughts, it is a big mistake -
In the blink of an eye, the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has also come to the time to liquidate the evil.
As we all know, the trial of Japanese war criminals was conducted by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, also known as the "Tokyo Trials.". In addition, there is a special trial:
The Burleigh Trial.
Boli, or Khabarovsk, is located on the east bank of the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers. In 1949, it was in this medium-sized city that the Soviet government tried the Kwantung Army for germ warfare crimes.
Twelve war criminals, including Japanese Army General Otsuzo Yamada, who served as commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and Kiyoshi Kawashima, director of the General Affairs Department and Director of the Fourth Department of Unit 731, were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 2 to 25 years.

Kiyoshi Kawashima
Let's look at a passage from the trial file of Kiyoshi Kawashima at the time:
Prosecutor: Can you confirm that the mission of Part IV is to multiply deadly bacteria in large numbers for bacteriological warfare?
Kiyoshi Kawashima: Yes, exactly.
Prosecutor: How many bacteria can Part IV make in a month?
Kiyoshi Kawashima: 300 kg of plague bacteria can be manufactured in a month, or 800-900 kg of typhoid bacteria, 500-700 kg of anthrax bacteria, and up to 1 ton of cholera bacteria.
Prosecutor: Where did you find the living to conduct the experiment?
Kiyoshi Kawashima: Harbin Gendarmerie Bureau. Prisoners in the internal prisons of Unit 731 were used to conduct various research efforts aimed at preparing for germ warfare.
According to the trial transcript, Kawashima Andyo and other war criminals mutilated "experimental living organisms," not even women and children. In the 731 Unit prison and shooting range alone, as many as 3,000 people were killed by forced infection and other means!

Kiyoshi Kawashima also confessed that in 1941 and 1942, he went to central China twice on missions and used bacteriological weapons.
"The first expedition was in the summer of 1941, in the Area of Changde, near Dongting Lake, where plague fleas were dropped by plane into the Chinese."
The second time, in the summer of 1942, was "mainly carried out in the areas of Yushan, Jinhua and Pujiang.".
And this second time, it was the one that Ishii Shiro flew to Qu County!
A guarding soldier named Gudu Ryoo also truthfully confessed:
"We used the bacteriological weapons sent by the 731st Unit aircraft and made 3,000 steamed buns in accordance with Ishii's orders. These steamed buns, filled with typhoid bacteria and paratyphoid bacteria, were distributed to Chinese prisoners of war for eating. Then release them and let them infect other people again. ”
"At that time, in the Zhejiang-Gansu Theater, typhoid fever occurred because we applied infectious bacteria."
The pathogen of typhoid fever is Bacillus typhoid and is highly contagious. After human infection, the main symptoms are high fever, diarrhea, complicated by intestinal perforation, pleurisy, meningitis and so on.
The onset is extremely stubborn, with a long and difficult treatment period.
Especially in the arduous anti-war years, once infected, there is no cure, and the mortality rate is extremely high!
And the fact is that after Ishii Shiro sent out his "kindness" and the troops quickly withdrew, the epidemic spread rapidly.
Subsequently, 731 published a report on the results, stating:
"As a result of the dispatch team's investigation in situ, the most effective of the outbreak and epidemic of infectious diseases is paratyphoid fungus."
At this point, Ishii Shiro's wolf heart and his ugly deeds against humanity were finally revealed to the world. And the culprit of this evil abyss is—
Emperor Hirohito.
According to the archives of the Boli Trial, Emperor Hirohito repeatedly ordered the establishment of two secret units in Manchuria to conduct germ warfare.
For the sake of confidentiality, a unit named "Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Unit", that is, the 731st Unit in Harbin Bungalow;
The other is the "Veterinary Disease Prevention Department of the Kwantung Army", that is, the 100th Unit in Mengjiatun, Changchun.
These two forces mainly research and produce various bacteriological weapons. Including plague bacteria, cholera bacteria, gangrene bacteria, anthrax bacteria, typhoid bacteria, paratyphoid bacteria...
This damn nation, the damned Emperor Ishii, the damned demon Ishii Shiro, does evil to properly and without a bottom line, and does everything to the extreme!
I don't have to bomb him with an atomic bomb, and I'm really sorry for him!
Oh, and one last added:
It was the Yankee who bombed him with atomic bombs, and just after the end of World War II, experts were sent to find the main members of the 731, including Shiro Ishii, and after paying 250,000 yen, they took the germ warfare data;
He even concealed 731 unspeakable crimes against humanity from the world and asked Ishii to serve as a biological weapons consultant.
As a result, 731 was transformed into a "mantle":
Fort Detrick.
In the same vein, the devil is still on earth, and the sin continues...
