Chapter 157 Tongren Hospital Rongzi 1644 Troops

The special combat team embarked on the road back to Jiujiang.

Xiao Xiong: It's much easier for them to come back from Lei Gongyan. After Li Jinli arranged the troops, he personally led a platoon of troops to accompany Xiao Xiong. The first is to be the guide of the special combat team, and the second is to go to the Yunshan guerrillas to negotiate with Han Feng and act together to establish a smooth communication line. However, he still has a little selfishness, that is, he wants to follow Xiao Xiong so that he can ask Xiao Xiong for advice.

When they returned, because they were easy to go into battle, and under the leadership of Li Jinli and their guerrillas, they avoided the highway and walked a remote and rugged mountain road to the Xiuhe River. Because this section of the Xiu River is in the middle of the mountains, there is no stronghold of devils along the river, so they have been taking a boat to the Yijia River in Yongxiu.

At this time, Gao Qixing had already received a telegram from Xiao Xiong before he set off, and he had led his subordinates to wait here early, along with Han Feng's Yunshan guerrillas.

After handing over Li Jinli to Han Feng, Xiao Xiong immediately led people to sneak back to Jiujiang in batches. He handed over the troops to Gao Qixing and them, and notified the troops in various places to find out as soon as possible the situation of the devil's bacteriological troops in the northern Jiangxi region, as well as to investigate the specific situation of the local devil's bacteriological troops. Then, he led the special operations detachment to quietly return to Jiang Xinzhou.

After returning to Jiangxinzhou, Xiao Xiong immediately investigated the situation of the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare with Xiong Qiang, Li Ran, and Bai Yu.

In fact. At that time, Xiao Xiong and his comrades-in-arms had many secrets that they did not know.

The so-called bacteriological weapons. Also known as biological weapons. It is a weapon of mass destruction and destructiveness, and its combat principle is to use the pathogenic properties of biological agents to inflict heavy damage on the enemy on the battlefield or in a local area or to dissipate their combat capability.

In 1925, the vast majority of the countries of the world signed the Agreement on the Prohibition of Poison Gas or Similar Gases and Bacteriological Methods, which explicitly prohibited the production and use of bacteriological weapons.

However, the evil little Japan refused to participate in the treaty at that time, and openly defied the condemnation of the whole world by organizing forces to extensively collect information on bacteriological warfare and to manufacture germs to carry out its idea of developing bacteriological weapons and using them in aggression. Because they believe that bacteriological weapons are "killer" weapons to be used against the enemy.

In 1932, in accordance with the emperor's decree, the Japanese military department set up the first bacteriological weapons research institute "Bacteriological Research Class", known as the "Epidemic Prevention Research Laboratory" to the outside world, and began large-scale bacteriological weapons research.

As the war of aggression continued to expand, the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare activities became more frenzied.

In 1936, the notorious "Unit 731" and "Unit 100" were established in Harbin and Changchun, which were occupied by the Japanese army, and then the "Unit 1855" was established in Beijing.

In 1937, with the fall of Nanjing, Shiro Ishii, the notorious bacteriological warfare ideologue and organizer, and his military medical officers began to seek to use Nanjing as a base. Further expand the research network of bacteriological warfare.

On April 18, 1939, the "Central China Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department" was quietly established in Nanjing. The new unit was publicly known as the "Tama Force." Later, it was also called "Noboru Troop", sometimes also called "Hinoki Troop", the secret number was "Eiji 1644 Troop", and its commander was called Masuda Chisada.

The establishment of the Rongzi 1644 bacteriological unit was tantamount to bringing another terrible wound to Nanjing, which was plagued by disasters at that time, and the ghost of the Japanese bacteriological unit began to flash in the city of Nanjing.

Rongzi Unit 1644 became the third important site of Ishii's bacteriological warfare research after Manchurian Unit 731 and Manchurian Unit 100. And Ishii himself served as the first captain of Unit 731 after serving as the captain of Unit 1644. The headquarters of Unit 1644 is located above the Central Army Hospital in Nanjing, that is, north of Zhongshan East Road in the center of the city. To the south of the road is the Ming Palace Airport, to the east is the military academy of the traitor puppet regime, and to the southwest is the air force dormitory.

There are two main buildings within the scope of the Nanjing headquarters of the unit, one is a six-storey building, which is the headquarters building, which is the office of the commander and the offices of various administrative units; The other four-story building, which is an annex, is the heart of the army, because it is a cell for conducting bacteriological warfare research and holding "prisoners" for bacteriological experiments.

In addition, the unit has also set up a subsidiary at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, near Taipingmen, to the north of the headquarters, under the false name of "serum vaccine factory", which is actually a factory for the production of bacteria.

In addition, Unit 1644 also set up 12 detachments in Shanghai, Suzhou, Changzhou, Hangzhou, Jiujiang, Nanchang, Anqing, Hankou and other places, with a total staff of about 1,500 people. Bacteriology, the Evil of Chemical Experiments and the Bestiality of Bacteriological Warfare The facilities of the Nanjing 1644 Bacteriological Unit, although smaller in size than the 731 and 100 Units, had a huge bacteriological production capacity. If all the equipment in Nanjing is started, Rongzi 1644 can produce 10 kilograms of bacteria in one production cycle. In parallel with the bacterial culture, Unit 1644 also carried out flea breeding, and about 100 gasoline drums were shared for the breeding of fleas. As the production cycle progresses, flocks of fleas swarm out of these gasoline drums, which bacteriologists use to test for plague.

Xiao Xiong learned about the germ warfare being carried out by the devils through various channels, but he was more urgent to understand the research and implementation of the germ warfare being carried out by the devils in northern Jiangxi.

Soon, the information from various places began to be collected to Xiao Xiong. Xiao Xiong's attention is on the Jiujiang City, and he wants to find out the devil's bacteriological research institute and its bacteriological manufacturing factory in Jiujiang.

Xunyang City fell in July 1938, and after the Japanese invaders occupied St. John's Hospital, they set up the 177th Military Station Hospital. Another place worthy of Xiao Xiong's attention is Tongren Hospital in Jiujiang. After the Japanese army occupied Jiujiang, they borrowed the Catholic Church Hospital for the medical treatment of the wounded and sick. In December 1941, the Japanese army occupied three-quarters of the hospital and opened Tongren Hospital, and then forcibly occupied the Fude Hospital in the distance as its premises, and set up two classes of medical treatment and epidemic prevention (the epidemic prevention team lived in the city and Xiaochikou in Huangmei on the other side of the river), with a total of more than 40 people.

Xiao Xiong paid special attention to the Japanese army's "Jiujiang Detachment of the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department," because the mission of this unit was different from that of other units, and it was mainly engaged in special tasks such as battlefield epidemic prevention and poison prevention.

According to the captured map of the Japanese army's battle in northern Jiangxi, Xiao Xiong found that the Japanese army had two "Tongren Hospitals" marked on the map of Jiujiang, but why did the Japanese army have two Tongren Hospitals, and there was an epidemic prevention and water supply department that only a few troops set up?

In addition, in 1942, Zhao Xiaofang fled from Hukou County to Duchang County, where he worked as an apprentice in a printing shop, while his mother worked as a nanny in a rice shop.

Suddenly, one day, his mother had a high fever, and she didn't know what she was suffering from, and she couldn't afford to see a doctor. At the time, he and his mother were living in a warehouse, and the neighborhood was full of refugees. After a few days, my mother had a lot of pimples on her armpits and thighs, and the high fever did not go away, and when she was sent to the hospital, the doctor said that it was plague and could not be cured. A few days later, his mother died.

At that time, many people living near the warehouse were suffering from this fatal disease, and if they did, they would die in a short time.

There is also a fellow villager who lives in Tujiabu, Yongxiu, said that when the devils were fighting the national army on the other side of the river, after the little devil's plane flew by, they sprinkled a piece of black pressure from the sky, and when everyone ran to look, they found many dead rats on the street, and some who were not dead and struggled to flee in all directions.

Later, in Tujiabu, it was found that many people had strange diseases and could not be cured. After these people died, the family did not dare to bury them in the soil, so they had to cremate their remains.

"It must have been the devil who did something to the rats that caused the plague later." Bai Yu said indignantly after seeing this telegram.

"We can draw a conclusion from the battles in these places that whenever the devils encounter stubborn resistance from the Chinese army in battle, they always want to attack us through bacteriological warfare and thus win. This is the case for Nanchang, Duchang, and Yongxiu. And when they lose and retreat, they will also retaliate against us in this way, whether it is soldiers or civilians. ”

"We can summarize the germs that are known to have been used by devils in bacteriological warfare, including typhoid, paratyphoid, cholera, bacillary dysentery, anthrax, equine melinose, plague, tetanus, gas gangrene, and so on, some of which we have never heard of. These beasts are not men, not even animals. Xiong Qiang waved the telegrams, and his hands trembled angrily.

Suddenly, Xiong Qiang stopped waving, he found a string of numbers from one of the telegrams to decipher the devil, and took out a look, and it read "Jiujiang Detachment of Rongzi 1644 Troops". He looked at Xiao Xiong strangely and asked:

"Commander, do you know that the devil still has such a unit as the 'Rongzi 1644 Unit Jiujiang Detachment' in Jiujiang?"

Xiao Xiong looked at everyone, all shook their heads, and said they didn't know.

Xiao Xiong wrote in his notebook 'Rongzi 1644 Unit Jiujiang Detachment', 'Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Unit', two Tongren Hospitals, Ximen, Xiaochikou, etc. Now Xiao Xiong's eyes are no longer scattered, and his thoughts are gradually clear, and the goal of the Einsatzgruppen is locked on the above places.
