We all remember the notorious 
31 unit of Japan, which is a Japanese unit dedicated to studying bacterial warfare. This force has committed all kinds of outrageous, even anti-human crimes in our country. And Changde bacterial war is one of their crimes. So what did the Japanese do in Changde ? Why did they risk the world's brute force to launch bacterial war?
Bacterial war launched by the Japanese army in Changde
On November 4, 1941, the crazy Japanese army dropped a large amount of plague to Changde. The method they used was to contact rice, cotton wool, rag strips, etc. with pathogens, and then put these things into residential areas by plane.

Not long after, most residents in Changde were infected with plague . At that time, plague was equivalent to terminal illness . Unless the patient survives it himself, there is absolutely no cure for ordinary people to get this disease.
But among many viruses, why did the Japanese army use the plague virus? This is because compared with other historical viruses, the infectiousness and lethality of plague are relatively strong. For example, in the Middle Ages, the flooded plague took away 725 million lives in just 6 years. One quarter of the population of Europe disappeared due to plague.

In China, where the population is more dense, the lethality of the plague, as a very fierce infectious disease, can be imagined. During the bacterial war launched by the Japanese army in Changde, a total of 7643 people lost their lives. This number only summarizes those with names and surnames. More people are anonymous . They came to this world silently, and then left quietly, leaving only the terrible bodies that proved that they had come.

According to some remaining text records, at that time, it could be called corpses everywhere, and wailing constantly . Every moment, there are wailing sounds coming from the alley due to the death of a relative. The infected person's neck is swollen, accompanied by symptoms such as high fever and general body spasms.
memories of survivors
survivor Wang Huazhang recalled in his own "The Tribulation" : " on November 4, 1941, at dawn, a Japanese plane flew over Changde and dropped a large number of rag strips, cotton wool, rice and other things to Guanmiao Street and other places in the city center. There were 400 to 500 kilograms of , and it was the same as raining in days."

Wang Huazhang also recalled: "After that, there were things spread by planes everywhere in Changde City, and everything was spread on the roofs, on the streets, and on the docks. Not long after, the plague began to spread in Changde."
At that time, people didn't know why the plague broke out, and Wang Huazhang even went to the home of the sick deceased to watch. The result was naturally infected with the plague, and finally he was treated in the hospital in time and his life was saved.
We can only say that Japan's "attainment" in bacterial warfare can be said to be "at the pinnacle". At that time, in order to study the harm and lethality of various viruses, Unit 731 conducted experiments on the people of our country such as typhoid fever, anthrax, plague, cholera . One by one, one fresh life fell into the gas chamber of the Japanese army.
Changde bacterial war survivor Xu Wanzhi
Hunan Changde City Bacterial War Victims Association Xu Wanzhi recalled: "His father took rice to Changde to do business. After he came back, he had a high fever and his neck was swollen. He passed away in just five days." Xu Wanzhi's family also changed from twelve people to seven . Xu Wanzhi's brother, grandma, second uncle and second uncle's son all died.

Xu Wanzhi said that none of the villagers involved in carrying the body in the village were spared, and The village is dead every day . In order not to implicate your relatives, some people simply drink medicine and commit suicide. This kind of purgatory scene on earth is something we cannot imagine now.
90-year-old Zhang Lizhong also recalled: In 1942, his two younger brothers died of plague. His father buried his two younger brothers' bodies in a mass grave, and then his grandfather died. The nurse was dead, too. My father couldn't stand the blow and became a vegetable. A few days after the plague broke out, Changde's coffin sold out , and in the end, there were even corpses filled with even mass graves. The remaining bodies of can only be thrown into the river .
Zhang Lizhong looked at the photos of his family with mixed feelings
There was a very scary and sad saying at that time, that is: "I'm going to die, and if I die later, I have no place to bury it."
85-year-old Yi Xiaoxin said: "One day in September 1942, eight villagers went to the deceased's home to bury the bodies. 's costume made eight lives . In less than four days after returning home, all eight people died tragically." After
, Yi Xiaoxin's hometown Yijiawan was demolished, but he still had to come here often. Because the bones of 12 of his family members were buried here.

1996, Xu Wanzhi, Zhang Lizhong and Yi Xiaoxin learned that their family was destroyed and all were killed by the Japanese Unit 731. There were two big soy sauce factories in Jiege Lane, Changde at that time, and more than 250 big soy sauce jars were placed in open mouths. The virus released by the Japanese army polluted Dajiang, and it also became the earliest and most violent epidemic spreading place in Changde.

From 1996 to 2000, Xu Wanzhi did not rest for a day. He visited tens of thousands of people and finally determined a list of the deaths of 7643 people with names and surnames . After that, Xu Wanzhi and the families of more than 760 Changde bacteria-killed victims jointly sued the 731st Unit in Tokyo, Japan.

But Japan always had an indifferent attitude. In the end, under the pressure of many parties, it was irrelevant to the fact that the Japanese army had indeed carried out bacterial war in many places in China, but all the compensation issues of were rejected.
It is worth emphasizing that this is only the first accusation of Japan by these people. In the future, a few people even established the Changde City Bacterial War Victims Association of Hunan Province, specifically responsible for future lawsuits against Japan. They also printed their litigation history into a book. Unfortunately, until 2007, the Japanese official still refused to compensate and declared "National Innocence "...

Japanese bacterial war crimes in a march and
Japan committed countless heinous crimes in China, and the members of the 731 unit were like devils. They conducted "viviparous" experiments on Chinese people, dissecting a living person in with in a state of sane. There are also "firebreathing experiments", "no anesthesia and tooth extraction experiments", "human and animal blood exchange", "the impact of bacteria on the fetus", "dissection of pregnant women taking out children to make specimens"...
"731" troops site evidence of Japanese crimes
These experiments that exterminate humanity are even more than Hitler massacre on Jewish . This is also the reason why the older generation of Red Army tried their best to fight against Japan. Japanese militarism destroyed one happy family after another, leaving eternal healing trauma on the land of China. At that time, Japan launched a bacterial war and polluted land, and the number of people who died in the bacterial war was even more unimaginable.
731 The cruel experiment of the troops
The so-called humanitarianism is like nothing to Japan. Even today, Japan will enshrine many war criminals into "Yasukuni Shrine" , distorting the facts will shape these unworthy war criminals into heroes .
I hope everyone will never forget the atrocities of Japan during the Changde Bacterial War. Only by not forgetting history can we learn lessons in history and continue to make progress. Remember that if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and if you fall behind, you will be bullied. May we not forget the national humiliation, strive for the great rejuvenation and prosperity of the motherland.
