Chapter 53: The Secret Institute

Shiro Ishii established the Dongxiang Unit in 1932 on the Beiyin River in the suburbs of Harbin in northeastern China. The unit was one of the first to conduct human experiments that could not be carried out in Japan.

In 1932, Shiro Ishii led his troops to build Zhongma City, a prison on the outskirts of Harbin. A prison riot in 1935 forced Ishii to close the city. Ishii went to the bungalow area closer to Harbin to set up a new facility.

Unit 673 established a bacteriological experimental base in Sunwu County, Heihe, including 300 animal breeding and bacterio-making rooms.

The "Kamo Force" is due to the fact that "Kamo" is the name of Shiro Ishii's hometown, and most of the people who followed Ishii to the Shade River were recruited by Ishii from Kamo. The origin of the name "Togo Army" is due to Shiro Ishii's pseudonym "Togo Haruichi" (one says "Togo Zhao"), because Ishii worships Heihachiro Togo, the commander of the Japanese army who defeated the Russian army in the Russo-Japanese War (1905). During the "Bungalow Period" (1935~1938), Unit 731 was successively known as "Epidemic Prevention Department of the Kwantung Army" and "Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department of the Kwantung Army"; The anonymous names were "Ishii Troops", "Nara Troops", "Manchurian Unit 731", etc. Ryuji once confessed in the Boli court: "In the early days of its establishment, it was called the 'Epidemic Prevention Department', and after its reorganization (in 1940), it was called the 'Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department'. In another trial, he confessed: "Before 1941, this unit did not have an official name, and it was only called the 'Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department' of the Kwantung Army, and at the same time it was also called the Ishii Unit, because each unit in the Japanese army was usually called by the surname of the commander of the unit." In 1941, when the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army ordered all units and organs of the army to adopt the number, this unit began to be named Unit 731. "Unit 731" was only used after 1938. However, people now refer to the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare units in Harbin at any time as "Unit 731"

Unit 659 of the Kwantung Army

The headquarters is located in Pingfang District, Harbin, and is known as the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department of the Kwantung Army, and its headquarters is called Unit 731. Unit 731 is another name for the epidemic prevention and water supply headquarters of the former Japanese Army (Kwantung Army). This unit is led by Shiro Ishii, so it is also called the "Ishii Force". Unit 731 is also the code name for the secret military medical unit engaged in biological warfare bacteriological warfare research and human experiment-related research during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and World War II.

After 10 days of reconnaissance, Li Ming's revolutionary army discovered this secret military base, and the people who had cars entering it all day long were wearing white clothes, and their mysterious behavior attracted the attention of the revolutionary army scouts, who used their cameras to take pictures of the outer bases and the entrance of the base, and these people were all walking back and forth in white clothes.

The base wall is several meters high, surrounded by the high-voltage power grid of the Japanese army, and there must be an ulterior secret in such a tightly guarded base, and the scouts then send a telegram to Li Ming to report the situation and make a plan of action.

After the two of them finished scouting the base, they packed up their equipment and quickly evacuated the base。。。。。。。。。 The journey was smooth.

When I walked to a junction, I found that the Japanese army was arresting people, this place listened to the old Liang Tou who sold things in the place, the Japanese devils often arrested people everywhere, caught labor, killed people and set fires, because there were too many devils, the investigator Xiaolan passed in order not to expose himself, at this time a few traitors came to block their way, don't go, why can't you go, Xiaolan saw that the devil brigade was coming, and he took out his gun and shot two traitors, the two ran quickly, and more than a dozen devils blew up the devil's military vehicle with the support of the revolutionary army's riot brigade, The helicopter's machine gun burst out suddenly, which was not enough for the machine gun to plug the teeth, and the scouts rescued the riot team, and the helicopter had already flown away when the little devil arrived。。。。。。
