The mysterious archives of Unit 731 of the Japanese invasion of China were made public for the first time, proving once again that the Japanese army's human experiments and bacteriological warfare were not just the crimes of one army, but the products of Japan's efforts as a single country.
In the newly exposed files, there are 52 "unknown people" who have served in the "731" unit, and the appearance of these people has cast a layer of terror on the "731" unit.
●—≺ Unknown persons ≻—●
On May 4 of this year, the "731" Unit Evidence Exhibition Hall of the Japanese Invasion of China in Harbin announced a batch of new files.
The name of the file is "731 Unit Headquarters Declaration", the file was originally kept in the National Archives of Japan, until last year was transferred to the 731 Unit Evidence Exhibition Hall in Harbin City, Heilongjiang, after nearly a year of combing and interpretation by researchers, this evidence of the Japanese invasion of China was finally made public.
Although this file is only 69 pages, it roughly records the names, types and enlistment times of 52 soldiers who served in Unit 731, which is an important evidence to confirm the guilt of Unit 731.
On August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito of Japan announced the "Armistice Edict", which meant that Japan would not be able to fight again, and those Japanese soldiers who had not committed heinous crimes were escorted back to their hometown in the East, including Unit 731.
However, according to the "Report of Unit 731", when the unit left China, there were 52 people who did not return to Japan with the team.
Regarding such a situation, Jin Shicheng, a researcher at the 731 Unit Evidence Exhibition Hall, said that when he received the order to retreat, it was very likely that the 52 people were not in the Harbin headquarters, so it was too late to withdraw to Japan with the large army.
According to Japan's regulations at that time, all the troops of the Japanese army overseas must register their personal declaration after returning home, otherwise their military status cannot be recognized, resulting in the pension not being cashed.
The file shows that of the 52 Japanese soldiers who did not evacuate in the first place, 38 had hidden their identities and wandered around China, and 14 were detained in the Soviet Union.
The "Personal Declaration" registers the units to which these soldiers belonged before the end of the war and the relevant resumes after the war, and restores their occupations before joining Unit 731 and the criminal activities they participated in after entering the army.

Through the movement of soldiers in the archives, the researchers found a connection between Harbin Unit 731 and Qiqihar Unit 516, and there was a close personnel transfer between the two.
Unit 516 is the base camp of Japan's chemical warfare against China, and Unit 731 is the base camp of Japan's bacteriological warfare against China.
According to the "Body Declaration", there was a Japanese soldier named Hirakawa Yoshihito, who worked in Unit 516 from January to December 1944, and was transferred to Unit 731 in early 1955.
These two units are engaged in chemical warfare and bacteriological warfare respectively, and chemical weapons have obvious lethal effects on the battlefield and can achieve quick results, but the scope of damage is relatively limited and easy to control.
Although bacteriological weapons are slow to act, they are highly contagious, and once they spread, it is difficult to control them in a short period of time, and the Japanese army frequently allows the personnel of Unit 516 and Unit 731 to circulate, which is nothing more than an attempt to combine bacteriological weapons with chemical weapons.
Once the Japanese army succeeded in developing this weapon and put it into use on a large scale, the whole of China would probably fall into a catastrophe, not only for human beings, but also for animals and plants.
To put it bluntly, the weapons studied by the Japanese army at that time were the biological and chemical weapons that modern people recognize, and it can be seen that in order to win the war, this group of beasts completely did such a thing as destroying the entire Chinese people, and even did not hesitate to affect the Japanese pioneer regiments settled in the northeast.
In addition, the Japanese Army's Unit 731 also trained a large number of young soldiers, and the archives show that among the 52 people, 4 people, including Iwamaru Munehiko, came to Harbin from Japan as military students and were transferred to Unit 731.
Soon after enlisting in the army, these people were sent to medical school for a three-year "study", and after completing their studies, they returned to Unit 731, from which it is not difficult to see that the crimes committed by Unit 731 are not only limited to the military, but also have the support of the Japanese academic, political, and medical circles, which is a top-down large-scale, organized anti-human criminal group!
●—≺ Extinction of humanity ≻—●
According to previous information, the 731 unit is mainly composed of six identities, including generals, trainee non-commissioned officers, quasi-non-commissioned officers, corporals, soldiers, and military dependents, including some "unknown persons", and the 52 people in the file belong to this group.
It's a pity that the content in the file is limited, so the specific identities of these people are not known, but judging from their personal resumes, these people's positions in Unit 731 will not be too low, and it is also disclosed for the first time in the "Body Declaration" that Unit 731 also has a special intelligence department.
Researchers from the Unit 731 Evidence Museum revealed that there was an intelligence officer of Unit 713 who went to Beiping, Tianjin, and Hangzhou to spy on intelligence from 1938 to 1941, and that the time he went to Hangzhou was when the Japanese army launched bacteriological warfare against Zhejiang, which shows that the intelligence officers of Unit 731 were inseparable from the launch of bacteriological warfare.
However, the 52 files of Unit 731 "unknown persons" released this time are only the tip of the iceberg, and although Chinese know about the crimes committed by this unit, this matter is rarely known in the international community, and the reason for this is that Japan has unscrupulously covered up this evil act.
In the early morning of August 9, 1945, the Soviet Union's 1.5 million Red Army advanced into the northeast and launched an attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army.
In the early morning of the next day, Shiro Ishii, the commander of Unit 731, received an order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters: "The Soviet Army's offensive speed is extremely rapid, and all units of the Kwantung Army have begun to move southward, and Unit 731 can act arbitrarily."
After hearing that the Soviet army was approaching Harbin, the high-level organs of Unit 731 suddenly became nervous, because the area where Unit 731 was stationed still retained a large amount of criminal evidence, including live experiments, bacteriological research and other strategic documents, once the Soviet army had these evidence, all the animals of Unit 731 would be held responsible.
In order to prevent the scandal from being exposed, Shiro Ishii issued an order to exterminate humanity, and in order to avenge the secrets of 731, he sent Nishinaka Sa, who was then Minister of Education, to Hailar, Linkou and other places, so that the troops stationed there could immediately destroy the evidence, and all of them committed suicide afterwards.
In addition to this, Shiro Ishii also ordered the killing of all the Chinese test subjects who were being imprisoned, and the suicide of all soldiers and their families living in the dormitory of Higashi Village.
After destroying a large amount of evidence, Shiro Ishii kept some key documents, but he and several senior leaders of Unit 731 escaped the death penalty by giving these test reports to the United States in order to protect themselves.
From the end of June to the end of September 1946, a severe plague broke out in the surrounding area of the Pingfang District of Harbin, killing 103 innocent people, and the cause of the plague was an epidemic of plague caused by rats and fleas who escaped from the 731 laboratory.
●—≺ Summary ≻—●
Some time ago, Harbin tourism exploded, and at the beginning, there was positive news about Harbin everywhere, but as more and more tourists visited the 731 Unit Evidence Exhibition Hall, the negative news about Harbin began to increase.
What's even more interesting is that the vast majority of those netizens who posted negative news were small accounts that had just been registered not long ago, and they also accepted money from others to maliciously slander, the purpose of which was to reduce the flow of visitors in Harbin.
As for why those guys don't want more and more people to go to Harbin, I'm afraid it's not that they see Harbin exploding at all, it's just that they are afraid that more and more people will enter the 731 Unit Crime Evidence Exhibition Hall.
However, the more these people prevented, the more desperately the Chinese people had to excavate, understand, and disclose this history, and the Chinese wanted to see what kind of face those slaves had to defend their crimes in the face of iron-clad evidence.
