Heiyo Shimizu, 92 years old, lives in a village in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, and has run a small construction company for decades. In 2016, by chance, my hometown people learned another identity that he had never been known, a soldier from Unit 731 that year.

Recently, a reporter from the General Office came to Hideno Shimizu's home. Facing the camera, Hideo Shimizu recalled the sinful experience back then.

In March 1945, 14-year-old Hideno Shimizu did not graduate from the third year of junior high school. With the recommendation of his teacher, he joined the 731 unit as an intern technician, and was then stationed at the headquarters of the 731 unit in Harbin, China. On the first day of formal work, he saw many human organ specimens in the laboratory soaked in liquid.

Hideo Shimizu said: "They told me that this was a specimen made by anatomical captives, but what I saw was a child and a fetus in the womb of women. What impressed me was the specimen of children. Why did they do these inhuman things? It was so cruel."

In just a few months, what Hideo Shimizu saw and heard in Unit 731 made him unable to fall asleep at night and had constant nightmares.

"I did have a vital dissection at that time, and I did not inject any anesthetics. Although I had never seen it with my own eyes, many people at the scene said that this was the fact. If you don't give anesthetics, you will peel it alive (human skin)." Hideo Shimizu recalled.

Japanese veteran confessed his crimes

"I want to apologize to the Chinese people"

On the eve of Japan's surrender in 1945, in order to cover up the evidence of the crime, Unit 731 bombed the laboratories and prisons before leaving China, massacred all the imprisoned prisoners, and burned the bodies in a concentrated manner. Hideo Shimizu was responsible for destroying evidence at the time and was asked to strictly keep the secret. More than 270 years later, the elderly Hideo Shimizu decided to break the silence and apologize to the Chinese people for the 731 unit and the crimes he committed that year.

Shimizu Hideo said: "I want to apologize to the Chinese people. The Japanese army did such a tragic thing in China. After the war, the Chinese people actually raised the Japanese orphans. I am really grateful to the Chinese people. The Japanese must apologize to the Chinese people and repent their crimes."

Conceal the crimes of the 731 troops

1931 to 1945, the 731 troops committed heinous crimes in China for scattered human experiments and bacterial warfare. Thousands of Chinese, Soviet, Korean prisoners of war and Chinese civilians were used in human bacteria and gas experiments.

However, these crimes were not pursued after the war, and many war criminals still held important positions in some public institutions in Japan after the war. The Japanese government also turned a blind eye to the accusations of the victims of Unit 731 and their descendants, and also tried to erase this history from the memories of the Japanese people by revising history textbooks.

War crimes were covered up. In addition to the Japanese government's deliberate concealment, the United States' shelter is also to blame. In order to obtain biological experimental data, a secret deal was reached between the United States and Japan. The United States concealed its heinous crimes from the world on the condition of exempting the war criminals of Unit 731 to conceal its heinous crimes, in exchange for data on Unit 731 conducting human experiments, bacterial experiments, bacterial warfare, poison gas experiments, etc., and paid 250,000 yen for this.

These data and materials include a large number of experimental reports from Unit 731, as well as more than 8,000 pathological specimens and slides on the use of bacterial weapons for living experiments and dissections of living people.

In August 2017, a documentary broadcast by Japan's NHK TV showed that under the protection of the United States, almost no members of the 731 troops had been punished for their crimes. After obtaining these bloody data, the United States used it to conduct biological weapons research, which prompted the rapid development and growth of biological laboratories such as Fort Detrick to become the P4 biological laboratory of the US military today.
