All the captives were sent away that night and escorted to Yichun by Han Dengying and Li Sen's troops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At the end of the day, more than 50,000 Japanese armed civilians were arrested, including more than 40,000 men. More than 20,000 firearms were found in their homes. All of these 50,000 people were treated as prisoners of war, and the Japanese who accompanied them explained to them the policy of the advance army, saying that the advance army would not kill prisoners and that they should be reassured.
Xiao Lu was afraid that the captives would not be easy to manage, so he personally taught the senior captives a lesson. Laying out the facts and reasoning is nothing more than a meaning, not to kill, not to abuse, and to give hope for life. As long as we cooperate, one day, we will send you back to Japan. As for the time you are being held, it is because you have weapons and you are in a state of war.
Xiaolu asked these people to stand in front of the mountain of weapons and take pictures, and as evidence, a large number of battle reports were sent out non-stop.
There were too many prisoners, but fortunately, Tieli had sent thousands of militia to help with the resettlement. Otherwise, in case of bombing the camp, it will be troublesome.
On the afternoon of that day, the advance force held a press conference at Unit 731. Xiao Lu and Zhao Shangzhi hosted.
Because of the fact that there have been new things in the Northeast for more than a year, which has attracted reporters from all over the world, there are many reporters who have come. In addition, a number of people from various countries who were in Harbin as journalists also came to attend the reception.
Before the press conference began, some soldiers were given masks and protective clothing. There are fighters who register every journalist, saying that it is to prevent infection. In addition, after the interview, everyone will be disinfected.
The reporters watched this battle, a little nervous, and a little curious.
There are seven or eight domestic and international news agencies in Harbin. Pseudo-Manchurian newspapers are among them.
Xiaolu said: "Friends of journalists. We are the advance army. It is an anti-Japanese team. In the past, we have issued several briefings to you explaining our position and policy. Today's convening is to expose one thing to you, the ugliest phenomenon of human society, a unit that should have been notorious in the Japanese Kwantung Army. Because this unit has a very deceptive name, people are not aware of its existence. This is Unit 731. It is the bacteriological warfare unit of the Japanese Kwantung Army. ā
The reporters listened and began to discuss.
A reporter asked, "General Lu, what evidence do you have that he is a bacteriological warfare unit?" ā
Xiaolu said: "Okay. Show everyone something. "Several fighters brought a large basket with corpses in it.
Xiaolu said: "This is the corpse they did for human experiments, and it hasn't had time to be cremated yet." Be careful, everyone wears a gas suit. Do not be afraid, stay away. Nude photos walk with a white line. We used quicklime, disinfectant water to isolate the safe passage. There is no danger if you do not leave the safe passage. You see, this is not an ordinary corpse, it is a corpse that has been dissected after an experiment. ā
Before a reporter could take a picture, he ran to the side and threw up. There was a beginning, and four or five more reporters also started vomiting.
Xiaolu said: "This is the evidence. In addition, we have documentary evidence, as well as evidence of living people. ā
The fighters are accustomed to seeing life and death, and the corpses after these experiments are creepy, not to mention these journalists.
A foreign journalist recalled decades later: "It was terrible. For the next month, I dreamed of those horrible corpses almost every night. I don't understand, why the Japanese would do such a terrible thing. ā
After the reporters took pictures, the body was pulled away and put into the refining furnace.
Xiaolu said: "This is the document we seized that the Japanese conducted bacteriological tests, and this is the translation, and I will send it to everyone to take pictures." ā
More than a dozen Xiucai led by Xiaolu organized more than 20 manuscripts to be sent.
The journalists photographed the original, and this time there was a little bit of convincing.
Xiaolu said: "Look there, that's the person we rescued. Nowadays, doctors are treating them. You can ask them questions. However, when asking questions, please stay away from them, as the symptoms of their bacterial test are still there. ā
When the fighters cleaned up Unit 731, they rescued more than a thousand people who were used as test subjects, most of them Chinese, but also a few Koreans, Soviets, Jews, and Mongols.
Although Unit 731 has not been established for a long time, it has done a lot of bad things, and now it has been revealed, which is shocking.
The reporters looked at the people with broken hands and feet, looked at the wounded people, and were very touched, and began to listen to several people tell their stories. Several journalists even asked them in English and Russian.
The press conference went well. Xiao Lu was very polite to the reporters, and after the press conference, he announced: "Fellow journalists, you are engaged in a great profession, and you tell the truth to the public. So, your profession is also dangerous. If you are not afraid, I am willing to send someone to show you around. Of course, I will send someone to protect you, because there are still Japanese people who are firing cold guns. ā
A reporter asked, "These Japanese doctors who do human trials must have a lot of medical experience." What do you do with these people? ā
Xiaolu said: "We have arrested a lot of Japanese war criminals, and we have a special interrogation agency for war criminals to interrogate them. ā
Sure enough, Xiaolu sent a dozen intellectuals to lead them around, and also sent a few fighters to take charge of their safety.
After catching the Japanese spies, Xiaolu printed 10,000 copies of the Anmin notice written by Mao Gong in northern Shaanxi and distributed them throughout the city.
On this day, in addition to catching Japanese spies, thousands of traitors of all sizes were also arrested.
At first, many civilians secretly came to help the troops catch the Japanese. Some are Japanese who robbed his shop, and some are Japanese ronin who reported and bullied him. The most common ones were reported to Japanese who had fled.
Later, someone asked, does it count as a big traitor? Does reporting the police count? The advance army promised very happily, all counted! As a result, a large number of hidden traitors were arrested.
Soon, a large number of Japanese and traitors were arrested, and the people became bold, and the streets and alleys were full of scenes of people leading troops to arrest people.
On this day, in addition to the prisoners, a large number of young students came to contact the fighters of the Anti-United Nations and the soldiers of the advance army. There were many young students with letters of introduction from the underground party, and they wanted to go to Yichun with the advance army.
A drama club in Harbin also defected to the advance army en masse, and several people from the harmonica club of the literary and artistic group also defected to the advance army. These people were all places where ideological prisoners registered in the Japanese secret services were concentrated, not underground parties.
In the evening, Xiaolu held a cadre meeting and reported the enemy situation.
The intelligence system of the advance army is developed, and Xiaolu reported the situation, and the people of the advance army are fine, but the old anti-Japanese alliance is very surprised. They doubted that this information was true.
At present, the Japanese in Bei'an Town have reached the north bank of the Hulan River and are building a bridge. The bridges and small bridges along the way were bombed. The troop carrier was bombed, which largely delayed the enemy's movements. In addition, the railroad tracks were dismantled and moved to the mountains. Along the way, the road was also dug one pit after another, and the devil did not move fast.
A large number of devils in Bei'an Town made a detour to Qiqihar, and they walked very quickly, and now they have passed Baichengzi.
In addition, Hailar also came with a group of troops, with tens of thousands of people, who had not yet reached the Qiqihar line of Wangye Temple because of the bad railway. The large army turned from Hailar to Qiqihar.
The devils from the south and east are also advancing rapidly, and the puppet army in Xinjingjilin and other places is the fastest, and now they have reached the twin castles.
Now, there are a total of 60,000 or 70,000 devils and puppet troops coming from all directions, and they are menacing, and they want to wipe out these tens of thousands of people in Harbin.
Xiaolu had to admire the Japanese puppet army's ability to mobilize troops. It is not easy for these Japanese puppet troops stationed in various places to be quickly mobilized in a few days. This is not only the development of railways, but also the super dispatching ability of the Japanese army. It was necessary not only to transport troops, but also to transport baggage, and to overcome attacks along the way. It's not easy
Tomorrow, part of Han Dengying's army returned to Harbin. From now on, the Third Army and the Advance Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance must act according to the plan, mobilize the enemy, and ensure their own safety.
"Nowadays, the most important task is to transport all kinds of captured materials out of Harbin, and the supplies in the station are transported by rail, but don't expect too much from the railway," Li Sen added. A lot of things have to be carried by us. Part of it was transported to Qing'an Tieli, and part of it was carried by two troops and transported to the countryside. If you can't get it away, you can find a place to hide it in Harbin. With these supplies, our lives are a little better. ā
Zhao Shangzhi said: "This time, our two troops raided several banks opened by the Japanese, seized millions of banknotes, and also seized a large amount of gold and silver dollars. In addition, half of the homes of the Japanese and the big traitors have been raided. These things were transported to Yichun first. We will continue to work hard and act according to the plan. ā
July 31. Harbin.
Several major newspapers around the world published reports on the Japanese Army's Unit 731.
Soon, these articles were picked up by many other newspapers. In the West, the reputation of the Japanese Kwantung Army sounded as soon as it sounded, and it stinked all at once. Conducting germ experiments and poison gas experiments is very advanced in advanced Western countries, but the Kwantung Army's human experiments are very new experimental methods, and almost no one has done it with much fanfare.
No one cares about what happened in a cold corner of the Far East, but human trials are really sensational news. Because of this news, many people in the Western world began to know that there was a place in the Far East called Northeast China or Manchuria.
In this era, the Japanese were definitely not the only ones engaged in bacteriological warfare research, but they were the first to be exposed. The exposure of the bacteriological unit of the Kwantung Army caused a great discussion in intellectual circles around the world. Should humans engage in germ warfare?
Soon after, some reporters interviewed relevant Japanese personnel in Shinjing and Tokyo, but Japan only issued a press release and vigorously denied it. Their newspapers began to fabricate articles saying that this was a rumor spread by the Communist Party and slandered the Imperial Army.
Later, Zhao Shangzhi recalled: "At that time, the Anti-Japanese Federation was fighting guerrillas in the countryside. It's hard to hit a county seat. This time I fought Harbin with Commander Lu, but I gained a lot of knowledge. Let me host the press conference and make me nervous. Later, we learned that this press conference had a greater effect than a major battle. Commander Lu can handle any scene, and from that time on, I admired him. ā

1. In 1929, there were 4,000 Japanese overseas Chinese in Harbin. The vast majority of businessmen have a background in underworld organizations such as the Black Dragon Society, and even if they are not members of the organization, they have a relationship with them.
