Before dawn, Luo Shuangchen and Cheng Gongnian were still in this inexplicable prison with the bespectacled man.

"Dazuo, what the hell is the matter with you? Is it a person or a check? The "glasses" were stunned and covered their faces with their hands.

"You're confused, you're not well defended, and you have to be effectively supervised against these people; Besides, the person who was yelling must be controlled in an effective way. Luo Shuangchen taught him slowly, "One of my relatives has been captured by you, and I have to get him back." ”

"What relatives? No way? ”

"It is true that the daughter of the third son of his grandmother's brother's family is still the wife of the son of my brother's brother's brother-in-law. Do you think I can leave this alone? ”

The "glasses" were immediately blindfolded, and his mouth was carefully calculated.

"Hurry up, take me on a patrol!"

"Okay, Your Excellency Dazuo, you come with me." As he spoke, he took Luo and Cheng and began to check the prison from prison to prison.

After walking for about forty minutes, Luo Shuangchen learned from the introduction that this is the Horse Epidemic Research Institute under the Puppet Manchurian Academy of Sciences, which is actually researching bacteriological weapons, and the people who are imprisoned here are young men who have been captured from all over the world.

The puppet Manchurian Academy of Sciences was established in 1934 and began to be established on March 22, 1935, with the first president being the Japanese Umetaro Suzuki. The main building is called the Main Building. The main building is a three-story brick building. The Continental Academy of Sciences has a strict division of labor and a huge organization. There are four laboratories of agricultural chemistry, forest products chemistry, animal production chemistry, biochemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, soil, fuel, civil engineering, machinery, upper and lower water, and four laboratories of physics, chemistry, civil engineering, and low temperature. Before Japan's surrender in 1945, it set up research laboratories for veterinary, anti-poison, construction, combustion, electrical, fiber, and fermentation, bringing the number of research laboratories to 23. It also has Harbin Branch, Equine Epidemic Research Office, Veterinary Disease Research Institute and Geological Survey Institute.

This is the underground laboratory cell of the Equine Epidemic Research Institute.

The corresponding Unit 100, like Unit 731, was a bacteriological warfare research base expanded in 1936 by the imperial decree of the Japanese Emperor, and was under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and in fact directly commanded by the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Base Camp. The difference is that Unit 731 is a bacteriological warfare unit that mainly studies killing people, and also studies the lethality of animals and plants, and is guided by the Military Medical Department of the Kwantung Army Headquarters; The 100th unit is a bacteriological warfare unit that mainly studies the killing of domestic animals and plants, and also studies the lethality of living people, under the guidance of the Veterinary Department of the Kwantung Army.

The predecessor of Unit 100 was the Kwantung Army Military Horse Epidemic Prevention Factory, which was expanded on August 1, 1936 on the basis of the Kwantung Army Temporary Sick Horse Factory located near Kuanchengzi, Changchun. In 1938, a new factory was built in Mengjiatun, 10 kilometers south of Changchun, and the following year it moved to a new site. In 1941, it was renamed the secret number "Manchurian Unit 100", also known as the Kwantung Army Animal Epidemic Prevention Department.

It was first called the Kwantung Army Temporary Sick Horse Shelter, which was established in November 1931 shortly after the September 18 Incident, and was headed by Ono Kimichi. From August 1932 to July 1933, he was headed by Seitaro Adachi. From August 1933 to July 1935, the director was Takatsushi Takahashi. From August 1935 to July 1937, the director was Tachikawa Tsaisan. From August 1937 to July 1939, he was headed by Kazuo Takashima, known as the Takashima Army. From August 1939 to July 1941, Lihe Caisan took over again and again, called Lihe Troops, and was renamed the 100th Unit halfway. From August 1941 until Japan's surrender, the commander of the unit was Wakamatsu Yojiro.

It is said that Unit 100 was established in April 1933 at the latest, when its predecessor was the Kuanchengzi Sick Horse Shelter, to "begin to study germs and prepare for bacteriological warfare," and the purpose of establishing the secret Unit 100 was "to study and prepare for bacteriological warfare." After moving to the new site of Mengjiatun, the equipment of its headquarters is relatively perfect. There is a bacteriological laboratory, which is divided into three rooms: pathology room, chemistry room, and bacteriological laboratory. The pathology room, which is responsible for the detection of bacteria, has a small animal room, a dissection room, a boiler and a stable for experiments. The chemistry laboratory contains a small animal room, a Libra room, a drug room and two laboratories. The bacteriological laboratory includes an incubator room, a cold storage, a culture room, a preparation room, a small animal room (rabbit, mouse, sea mouse), and an animal laboratory. In addition, there is an agricultural research laboratory, which is said to study pests and insects that poison crops (sorghum, bud rice, cabbage, potatoes).

After the relocation and expansion, the secret 100th unit was established in 1941, and in accordance with the instructions of the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Base Camp and the Veterinary Department of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the operational activities of researching and implementing bacteriological warfare were further strengthened.

The 100th unit, which is slightly smaller than the 731st unit. In the headquarters camp of Mengjiatun in Changchun, it covers an area of 1 mile from east to west and 2 miles from north to south, with more than 1,200 people in all staff, and more than 1,500 people at most times, equipped with enough experts and scholars in bacteriology, biology, chemistry, and veterinary medicine, engaged in the research and manufacture of virulent germs and poisons, and used livestock, plants, and living people as "experimental objects" to carry out experiments on the infection of various germs, so as to develop a large number of poisonous bacteria weapons that kill animals, plants, and living people. The Army's day-to-day expenses are provided by the Ministry of the Army, and the Kwantung Army Command pays for the development of bacteriological weapons from confidential expenses, totaling about 1.6 million yen a year. The headquarters consists of the General Affairs Department, four Research and Production Divisions, and the Ministry of Education.

In addition to being responsible for the general affairs, logistics, medical care, and sanitation of the 100th Unit, the General Affairs Department of the Headquarters also set up a planting experimental field.

The first department is its practical research department, and the following is divided into several divisions. Bacterial and viral experiments were conducted to determine the efficacy and method of infection of melioidosis, anthrax, infectious anemia and plant viruses. At the same time, "actual combat exercises" are conducted every year at the Anda Special Experimental Site and other places in order to seek to develop a large number of anthrax, rinderpest, sheep fever viruses, and various poisons as the most suitable weapons for conducting bacteriological warfare.

The second department is the main department of the unit, which is responsible for the research and manufacture of various bacteria and viruses. It consists of five divisions: bacteriology, pathology, laboratory animal management, organic chemistry and botany. Its bacteriological division is engaged in the research of anthrax and melioidosis, and studies and manufactures two viruses, rinderpest and sheep fever, in large quantities. The Botany Division deals with the methods by which bacteria poison or infect plants. In October 1943, it was decided to add a sixth division, whose task was to multiply anthracnose, melioidosis and rust (smut) in large quantities and to preserve them in special underground warehouses.

There is also the third department for the production of serum vaccines, the fourth department for raising animals, and the fifth department for the training of professional technicians. The fifth department is the Ministry of Education, also known as Unit 531. After 1943, the veterinarian cadre candidates of the Kwantung Army were no longer trained by the Tokyo Army Veterinary School, but were trained by the 100th unit. After graduation, he was assigned to work in various corps by the Kwantung Army.

In addition, the 100th Unit successively set up five detachments in Dalian, Hailar (later moved to Keshan), Lagu (later moved to Mudanjiang City), Jiamusi, and Siping, and set up veterinary units in each corps of the Kwantung Army to cooperate with the bacteriological warfare activities of the 100th Unit.

Unit 100, like Unit 731, is very large and heavily guarded. According to the testimony of Lu Tian Guangzhi, the former Northeast Medical University, "the laborers requisitioned by the unit are all in designated places (such as houses and playgrounds) to work." Wang Qingyou, who has worked as a laborer in Unit 100 for more than 10 years, said: There is a three-story building in front of the right side of the headquarters, and a white chimney with a high cloud is erected from the center of this building; this place is a forbidden area for Chinese; "there is an iron barbed line, and it is not possible to stand by and look inside; if the Japanese soldiers find out, they will shoot and shoot." Because this is the second part of the key part of Unit 100, there is a huge bacteriological laboratory and a refining furnace. Sanyou, a former staff member of Unit 100, confessed: The unit has a "military confinement room", which is in the basement of the second department, two connected huts, each 4 meters square, with two layers of safety doors, the door is less than 2 feet high and 1.5 feet wide, and the wall is soundproofed with cork, and the opposite door of the two huts is a laboratory. There is also such a hut at the back of the main headquarters. Each hut holds at least 30~40 people. In fact, it is not a "military confinement cell", but a prison for Chinese preparing for bacteriological experiments. There are also three special prisoner vans, which often secretly bring in "prisoners" from outside. Not far northwest of the main part is the "Livestock Landfill," which is about half a mile from east to west and one mile from north to south, where not only livestock killed by experiments but also people who died by experiments are buried.

It is associated with the pseudo-Manchurian health establishment

Unit 100, Unit 731, and the puppet Manchurian health institutions have extremely close ties in the guidance, exchange, and cooperation of bacteriological warfare research. Unit 100 was directed by the Veterinary Department of the Kwantung Army Command with Lieutenant General Takahashi Takahashi as the minister, but at the same time, Lieutenant General Masaji Kitano, commander of Unit 731, and Seitaro Ada, director of the Equine Epidemic Research Division of the Puppet Manchurian Academy of Sciences, were also responsible for guidance. For example, the Equine Epidemic Research Department received assistance from the Kwantung Army when it was established, and after its establishment, it provided anthrax, meliosis and other research materials, serum, equipment, and technical personnel to Unit 100 according to the orders of the Kwantung Army. According to Seitaro Adachi's confession, "I also go to the Veterinary Department of the Kwantung Army once or twice a month, and although I am not a direct leader, I have also been instructed in the conversation on how to do it. He said: "When the Equine Epidemic Research Department was established, the Kwantung Army had helped. Later, the Kwantung Army also ordered the Equine Epidemic Research Office to supply 100 troops with research materials. "I supplied 100 troops with seedlings, starting in 1938 until I transferred them in 1942. There are four types of strains supplied: anthrax, melioidosis, glandular fluid, and fluid." "From 1937 to 1940, by order of the Kwantung Army, the serum was supplied to the troops of Nagagawa and Takashima." "From 1938 to 1941, when the troops of Takashima and Binghe went to Hailar, Taonan, Keshan and other places to buy military horses, I sent technicians to help test the inoculation of meliacs and anthrax according to the order of the Kwantung Army." "Around 1940, due to the lack of glassware, hard glass was needed to cultivate bacteria, and 100 troops only had money and no goods, so I gave them a considerable amount of hard glassware. When Wakamatsu was minister, I introduced him to bacteriological scholars, such as the director of Yokohori Animal Husbandry Division, the president of Shinmi Animal Husbandry and Veterinary University, and the president of Taketomi Veterinary School. ”

Unit 100 and Unit 731 were two vehicles on the tanks of the Japanese emperor, government, and military for the purpose of "preparing for bacteriological warfare" and "countermeasures". Both of them invaded the northeast of China after the 918 Incident, and at the same time in 1936 according to the imperial decree of the Japanese emperor became official troops to start their activities, after the 77 Incident in 1938~1940, the 731st unit moved to Pingfang Town, and the 100th unit moved to Mengjiatun, carrying out large-scale expansion and new facilities. They are twin brothers who prepare and carry out bacteriological warfare, and their headquarters, detachments, military medical departments and veterinary departments of various regiments, as well as relevant health institutions of the puppet Manchurians, cooperate with each other to form a huge bacteriological warfare system in northeast China and become the base camp of bacteriological warfare in China.

As mentioned earlier, the 100th unit of the Kwantung Army has been stepping up research and manufacturing day and night to produce bacteriological weapons that kill livestock and plants in large quantities, such as anthrax, melioidosis, rinderpest, swine fever, sheep fever virus, and plant rust fungi, as well as methods of spreading them.

In the increasingly unfavorable situation of the war, the commander of the 100th Unit, Major General Yojiro Wakamatsu, repeatedly stressed: "The 100th Unit should become a factory for the mass production of various bacteria and potent poisons in order to carry out destructive bacteriological warfare." In October 1943, Lieutenant General Takahashi Takatsu, chief of the Veterinary Division of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Major General Yojiro Wakamatsu, commander of the 100th Army, and Deputy Commanders of the Army, Michisaku Sakaji, Yamaguchi Fumiji, and Engineer Kiyoshi Ida, held an important joint meeting, and decided to establish the 6th Division within the second department, which was responsible for the research and manufacture of bacteria and viruses, to study, produce, and stockpile a large number of anthrax, melioidosis, rust fungi and their infectious vectors, and to constitute a complete and effective bacteriological weapon. Since then, a number of special single-storey houses with basements have been added, additional technical personnel have been dispatched, and a large number of new equipment have been added, and it is planned to produce 1 ton of anthrax, 500 kilograms of melioidosis and 100 kilograms of plant rust within a year. Due to the failure to complete the installation of the equipment, only 200 kilograms of anthrax, 100 kilograms of melioidosis and less than 30 kilograms of rust were produced within four months. These bacteria, viruses, and toxins are extremely dangerous, and they are kept in special iron boxes, stored in special underground warehouses, and can only be touched by holding down the mouth and nose with multi-layer gauze soaked in disinfectant and wearing rubber gloves. These purified bacteria and poisons can cause immediate death of people and animals, and cause long-term poisoning of soil and crops.
