CCTV News (Focus Interview): Today is September 18. 90 years ago today, the Japanese invading army blew up the Wicker Lake section of the South Manchuria Railway, but instead framed the Chinese army for doing it, and then shelled the North Camp, creating the 918 Incident that shocked China and foreign countries. Since then, Japanese militarism has begun a 14-year war of aggression against China, and the aggressors have committed all kinds of evil deeds and committed heinous crimes on the land of China. Among them, the infamous 731st Unit was a unit of the Kwantung Army in Harbin dedicated to the study of germ warfare and live experiments. In recent years, as more and more historical materials have been declassified and discovered, the inhumane acts and crimes of the 731st Unit of the Japanese Army invading China have become more and more clearly presented to the world.
This recording, recorded 70 years ago, was a statement made by GuDu, a health guard of the 731st Unit of the Japanese Army invading China.
The health soldier Gudu stated that he witnessed the entire process of the 731st Unit of the Japanese army invading China once using typhoid bacillus for human experiments. From December 25 to 30, 1949, four years after the end of World War II, the Soviet Union set up a military tribunal in the Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk to publicly try 12 Japanese germ war criminals, including the last commander of the Kwantung Army, Yamada Oshizo, and others. Inkhabarovsk, formerly known in Chinese as Boli City, this trial is called "Boli Trial". During the trial, several Japanese war criminals confessed to "confidentiality within secrets."
The trial was recorded for 22 hours, 5 minutes and 57 seconds and has been kept in the Russian State Recording Archive. On May 7, 2018, through transnational solicitation, the Changchun Puppet Manchu Imperial Palace Museum officially accepted this ironclad evidence.
This photograph, taken in 1940, is overlooking the 731st Unit camp. The camp covers an area of 300 acres, and the maximum number of troops reached 3497. In order to hide the eyes and ears, the name of this place is "Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Headquarters". With the secret support of the Japanese government, nearly 100 medical elites from at least ten universities and research institutions from all over Japan were gathered into the 731st Unit for secret research. It was these doctors who should have saved lives and injured who, in the name of science, led a series of the most inhumane series of living experiments in human history.
The host of the body frostbite experiment was Shoujin Yoshimura, m.D., from Kyoto Imperial University at that time, which is today Kyoto University.
In addition to Yoshimura Shoujin, there was also a researcher who was keen on living experiments, that is, Tabe Iwa from Kyoto Imperial University at that time. Tabe's research projects were typhoid fever and dysentery, and his subordinates confirmed that he needed more than 10 prisoners to confirm the effects of each experiment.
The killing in the name of the experiment took place in the Quad Tower, the core building of the 731st Unit. There are three crematorias distributed around the Sifang Building, which have been burning endlessly for many years. Within Unit 731, the subjects of human experiments were called "Road Big", and "Road Big" means "log". Among them were women and babies, Soviets, Koreans and Mongols, the largest of whom were anti-Japanese fighters arrested in the northeast.
Another of Tabe's research projects, which turned experimental results into technologies that could be used in actual combat, developed bacteriological bombs and explored how to cause more efficient large-scale infections at Anda, about 260 kilometers from the 731 base.
They not only developed bacteriological weapons, but also used them in the war of aggression against China. After 1940, japan's war of aggression fell into a quagmire, and the 731st Unit finally appeared on the scene and put bacteriological weapons into actual combat, dropping the virus at least 3 times in Quzhou, Ningbo and other cities and villages.
As early as 1925, before World War II, 38 countries, including Europe and the United States, signed the Geneva Protocol banning bacteriological weapons and bacteriological warfare, which clearly prohibited the use of bacteriological methods of warfare. However, during its aggression against China, Japan ignored international conventions and brazenly broke through the bottom line of human civilization and ethics.
The evil is evident and the evidence is overwhelming. It stands to reason that these executioners who committed crimes against humanity deserved punishment, but it is inexplicable that they all managed to escape the post-war trial led by the United States. The United States is well aware of the numerous crimes committed by these war criminals, but it has deliberately concealed them.
On January 12, 2007, the National Archives declassified and published 100,000 pages of files on war crimes committed by the Imperial Japanese Government. The archives show that after the war, the United States has sent at least 7 investigation missions, 10 bacteriological, microbiology, veterinary experts to Japan to investigate, they are from the American germ warfare research base Detrick. Among them was Edwin Hill, director of Detrick's Department of Basic Sciences, who, in his Summary Report on the Investigation of Germ Warfare, recorded in detail the fact that Unit 731 had committed medical crimes such as human experiments, bacterial infections, and vivisection by interrogating 22 core members of Unit 731. However, this evidence, which was supposed to be a crime, as evidence of the Tokyo trial, allowed the United States to keep it in its secret intelligence channels and become a bargaining chip to exempt members of unit 731 from war crimes.
Recently, Russian historians and media have also disclosed the criminal transactions made by the United States and Japan that year.
It was under the protection of the United States that murderous demons such as Tabe Iwa escaped justice. After the war, Tabe Iwa, who was keen on human experimentation, became a professor at Kyoto University. Shoujin Yoshimura, who was good at artificially creating frostbite, became an academic authority in the field of antifreeze in post-war Japan, escorting the Japanese Antarctic expedition several times. The leader of the 731st Unit, Shiro Ishii, escaped the trial of war criminals in exchange for his research results, and lived a comfortable life in Tokyo by running a clinic in his twilight years.
So far, the 731st Unit Of the Japanese Invasion of China has collected 30,000 physical archives and 400,000 pages of paper archives. Together, they have formed a complete chain of evidence on the crimes of the 731st Unit of the Japanese Army invading China, and it has been legally proved that the 731st Unit of the Japanese Army invading China and its affiliated units are organized, premeditated, large-scale, and systematic criminal groups in Japan from top to bottom, and germ warfare is a national criminal act of Japan! This is a history that Japan is trying so hard to cover up, and it is also a resource that the United States has plundered against human morality and justice. History is the best textbook and the best sobering agent. We must remember history and strengthen ourselves!
