The occurrence of the "8.4" incident aroused great indignation among the people of China. There was a great response on the website.
The Patriot Union Network and several other websites organized a petition to pressure the Japanese government to compensate the victims. Initiated to collect 6,543,800 signatures online, and scheduled to submit a petition to the Japanese Embassy in Beijing on the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of Japan's invasion of China in September, 654.38+08.
After the "8.4" incident, a spokesman for the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued two written statements on this incident. Six experts sent by the Japanese government, accompanied by relevant personnel from China, sealed the poison gas barrels stored in Fularjit warehouse with lead.
Since the Japanese government admitted that the "8.4" poisoning incident was caused by the abandonment of chemical weapons by the Japanese army, China has formally put forward four demands to the Japanese government through the local investigation team sent by the Japanese government, but the Japanese government has not yet responded to the four demands put forward by China.
193 1 years later, an anti-chemical unit with the same task as the "73 1" unit was stationed in Baligang, the eastern suburb of Qiqihar City. It was the Army Chemical Research Institute of the Japanese invaders, with the code name "5 16". At that time, this unit was extremely concealed, engaged in the research, test and manufacture of chemical weapons under the banner of scientific research, and experimented with the living people of China, and its crimes have been left over to this day.
Because the "5 16" troops are deeply hidden, there are few historical materials recorded at present. 1945 August 15, after Japan surrendered, a lot of confidential information of this unit was brought back to Japan, and most of the equipment and gas bombs were left at home.
When the notorious Japanese Kwantung Army "5 16" troops fled Qiqihar, most of their equipment and gas bombs were scattered and buried underground or thrown into the river. How many poison gas bombs did the Japanese abandon in China? According to many investigations by our army's chemical defense forces, there are at least 200,000 shells left by the Japanese invaders in Qiqihar underground! Among them, the number of gas bombs is difficult to estimate.
After a long-term investigation, Xing Zi Yamauchi, a member of Japan's Association for China War Victims, collected a lot of information, which proved that the Japanese invaders abandoned 2 million chemical weapons in various parts of China, and the Japanese government had to admit 700,000.
From 1945 to 2003, more than 2,000 people were injured or killed by toxic agents abandoned by the Japanese army in China.
The toxic substances used by the Japanese invaders to poison people and animals and destroy the ecology in the war are called military poisons. Shells, rockets, missiles and mines containing military poisons are collectively called chemical weapons. Chemical weapons are mainly toxic gases, including all kinds of chemical weapons filled with smoke and incendiary agents. So far, there are no effective methods and drugs to treat the injuries caused by toxic agents or chemical weapons in the world. It is precisely because of its great harm that chemical weapons, together with nuclear weapons and biological weapons, have become weapons of mass destruction prohibited by relevant treaties of the contemporary international community.
As early as 1925, the international community adopted the Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases and Bacteriological Methods of Warfare in Geneva. At the same time, in order to expand the war of foreign aggression, the Japanese government secretly ordered its own army to start manufacturing chemical weapons in Ono Island, Hiroshima Prefecture. 1927, the Japanese army removed all the residents of Ono Island, and it took two years to build the whole island into a large-scale chemical poison and chemical weapons production factory, and began to manufacture various chemical weapons from 1929. Later, the Japanese navy began to produce chemical weapons at Sagami Naval Arsenal in Hanchuan, Kanagawa Prefecture from 1943.
The chemical weapons abandoned by the Japanese army in China are mainly emetics and erosive poisons, which are difficult to decompose and contain arsenic that seriously harms human health and the environment. Most of the chemical weapons abandoned by the Japanese army in China have been found to be non-storable, with no protective layer on the surface, and the corrosion is too serious to be handled automatically by machinery. Because these chemical weapons have been buried underground for more than half a century, not only are they seriously corroded, but some of them are still leaking slowly, and the explosives inside are still in danger of explosion. However, up to now, some chemical openings secretly buried or discarded by the Japanese army have not been discovered, and those discovered poison bombs are still a huge hidden danger because of the lack of effective disposal means. Once the leakage occurs, it will definitely cause unimaginable harm to the lives and property of local people and the ecological environment.
After the "8.4" incident, the China government attached great importance to the development of the situation and lodged a solemn protest with the Japanese government.
The Japanese government sent a fact-finding mission, medical and expert teams to the local area. Japan confirmed that the abandoned chemical weapons belonged to the old Japanese army. At the press conference on August 22nd, official Yasuo Fukuda promised to take countermeasures and expressed "condolences" to the deceased. But he did not show the gesture of agreeing with the victim's claim.
Under international pressure, the Japanese government finally admitted the existence of abandoned chemical weapons at 199 1. 1999 the Japanese government signed the memorandum of the Japanese and Chinese governments on the disposal of abandoned chemical weapons. The Japanese government clearly stated in the memorandum that according to the Chemical Weapons Convention, it should fulfill its international obligations in good faith and provide all necessary funds, technologies, experts, equipment and other materials for the disposal and destruction of abandoned chemical weapons. At the same time, it promised to complete the governance work before 2007.
However, there has been no action to deal with the Japanese abandonment of chemical weapons.
Mustard gas is one of the corrosive poisons, and it is also the most commonly used, common and harmful one, so it is called "the king of poison".
Mustard gas was first produced by the Germans in 1886, and it was first used by the Germans against the Anglo-French allied forces in the ypres region of Belgium in the First World War. Mustard gas is called dichlorodiethyl sulfide. Pure mustard gas is a colorless oily liquid, and industrial mustard gas is yellow to dark brown, so it is named because of its mustard and garlic flavor.
Mustard gas can be packed in shells, bombs, mines, and dispersed by explosion, and can also be directly sprayed on the ground, air, water sources and objects with equipment to be poisoned. Mustard gas mainly invades the body through the skin or respiratory tract, causing poisoning. After the incubation period of 2 12 hours, the skin will be red, swollen, blistered, blurred, red and even blind. In World War I, Hitler, as a soldier, was attacked by mustard gas and temporarily lost his sight.
There are many ways to harm mustard gas. When fighting, people must wear gas masks and protective clothing to protect themselves.
When will the scourge of Japanese chemical weapons stop in China?
According to the statistics of relevant departments, the areas where the Japanese abandoned chemical weapons have been found or suspected to be found include Anhui, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Jilin, Liaoning, Shanxi, Zhejiang and Inner Mongolia, with the northeast region being the most concentrated. The total number of Japanese gas bombs abandoned in China is about 2 million. The Japanese government has admitted that there are 700,000 rounds, and about 670,000 rounds are buried in Harba Ridge. Since 2002, Japanese experts have determined that there are 300,000 to 400,000 bullets with magnetic detection devices in this area.
As early as 1925, the international community adopted a protocol prohibiting the use of asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases and bacteriological methods of warfare in Geneva. Almost at the same time, in order to expand the war of aggression, the Japanese government secretly ordered the manufacture of chemical weapons on Ono Island in Hiroshima Prefecture and erased the island from the map. Trains near the island have lowered their curtains according to regulations and are not allowed to watch. This is why Ono Island has become a famous "poison gas island". From 65438 to 0943, Japan began to produce chemical weapons at the Hanchuan Sagami Naval Factory in Kanagawa Prefecture. According to relevant data of Japan, Japanese mortars fired more than 1.9 million poison gas bombs around the world. In addition, Japan is equipped with 5.64 million "radiation tubes" (toxic gas is put into the tubes to cause radiation damage). The Japanese believe that the 2 million gas bombs counted by China may include "launchers".
The gas bomb was transported from Aodao to China, and it was mainly equipped with 5 16 Japanese chemical troops stationed in Qiqihar. This unit and 73 1 unit are a pair of devil brothers. 1937, Japan established the kanto technical army. Two years later, it developed into the chemical department of the Kwantung Army, including two chemical units, 5 16 and 73 1. 5 16 troops mainly used chemical weapons, mainly mustard gas, Lewis gas and other toxic gases, while 73 1 troops mainly used germ warfare.
After Japan surrendered, in order to cover up its crimes, Japanese militarism planted a large number of gas bombs, some of which sank to the bottom of the water and some were placed with ordinary weapons. After the war, the Japanese government has always denied the use of chemical weapons, and it was not until 199 1 that it admitted the existence of this problem in the face of a lot of human evidence and international pressure. On July 30th, 1999, the Chinese and Japanese governments signed a memorandum on the destruction of abandoned chemical weapons in China. The Japanese government expressed its "sincerity" in fulfilling its international obligations and provided all necessary funds for the disposal and destruction of chemical weapons. In principle, it will be handled before April 2007. However, until 2005, the Japanese army only excavated and destroyed 37,000 rounds of gas bombs outside the Halba Mountains, and the processing speed was too slow. When will 400,000 rounds of gas bombs be destroyed?
Abandoning chemical weapons is irrefutable evidence that Japanese militarism committed heinous crimes in China. Although it has been 60 years since the war that pushed China into the abyss of disaster and caused mental harm to the people, Japanese chemical weapons are still destroying the people's body and mind in China. After the war, gas bombs have injured more than 2,000 people in China. The latest incident was a gas bomb wounding incident by the Japanese army in Qiqihar on August 4, 2003, in which 43 people were injured.
In 2004, Japanese director Hai Nan Tomoko tearfully filmed a documentary called From the Earth, which caused a shock in Japan. The film focuses on Li Guoqiang and other four people in China who were injured by gas bombs, and tells the historical truth of Japanese aggression against China and the fact that abandoned chemical weapons are still hurting the people of China.
People injured by gas bombs have symptoms such as cough, cardiopulmonary insufficiency, insomnia, decreased vision and hair loss. Some people can't keep working, which not only makes them miserable, but also brings endless pain to their families. More than half a century after the end of the war, so many people continue to suffer, which shocked many Japanese.
The key problem now is that Japanese gas bombs may continue to hurt people. Japan has an obligation to deal with this problem as soon as possible. The Government of China is deeply worried about this. On June 5438+February 1 day, 2005, Wu Dawei, Vice Foreign Minister of China, told Endo Otohiko, a representative of the Komeito Party of Japan, that by June 20 12, I hope this problem can be solved.
1August 998 18, a worker was working in the north gate of a family dormitory compound in Nanjing, and dozens of bones were accidentally dug up. After scientific examination by experts in Beijing and Nanjing, it was determined that these remains were dismembered and scattered in bags and wooden boxes about 60 years ago. At the same time, medical sampling and identification confirmed that the "sample" contained the enterotoxin gene of Vibrio cholerae, which was one of the lethal bacteria cultured in the 1644 army that year. Archives show that there has never been a cholera epidemic in Nanjing since 193 1. Therefore, it can be concluded that the remains found by the workers are the remains of the live test of cholera toxin in Nanjing 1644 troops invading China.
The Japanese army formed the 1644 germ warfare unit.
As early as 1925, countries all over the world signed the Agreement on the Prohibition of Poisonous Gas or Similar Poisonous Gas and Bacteriological Methods, explicitly prohibiting the production and use of bacteriological weapons. At that time, Japan refused to participate, openly defied the world's condemnation, and organized forces to extensively collect information on bacteriological warfare and produce bacteria, so as to carry out its proposition of developing bacteriological weapons and using them for aggression, because they believed that bacteriological weapons were effective "weapons" for small countries to deal with big countries.
1927, the Japanese army research institute proposed the establishment of poison gas service.
1932, according to the imperial edict of the emperor, the Japanese military department established the "bacterial laboratory" of the former bacterial research institute, which was called "epidemic prevention laboratory" externally.
1936, the notorious 73 1 troops and 100 troops were established in Harbin and Changchun occupied by the Japanese army. Since then, "Jiazi 1855 Force" has been established in Beijing, "Zi Rong 1644 Force" in Nanjing and "Bozi 8604 Force" in Guangzhou. 1942, Singapore's "Gangzi 9420 Force" was established.
1937, Japan set up the first and second field geochemical exploration departments in North China and Central China respectively, and set up field poison gas factories in Shenyang, Taiyuan, Jinan, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Hankou and Yichang in China. There are many types of chemical warfare troops, including gas wing (China has at most 8 wings in the battlefield), brigade, squadron and gas command class.
1April 939 18, Japanese germ warfare war criminal Shiro Ishii personally established the germ warfare force, nicknamed Nanjing "Rong" 1644. The open name is "Tama Force", which is one of the three major germ warfare forces established in North China, Central China and South China. 1644 troops also set up 12 branches in Shanghai, Suzhou, Changzhou, Hangzhou, Jiujiang, Nanchang, Anqing, Hankou and other places, with a total number of 1500 people, directly under the Ninth Research Institute of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters to plot assassination. Zi Rong 1644 Army became the third important place to study Ishii's germ warfare after Manchuria 73 1 Army and Manchuria 100 Army. Ishii himself became the first commander of 1644 after serving as the commander of 73 1 Force.
1644 the headquarters of the army is located in the main building of the former Nanjing Central Army Hospital, a 6-story building at No.305 Zhongshan Road, Nanjing.
Behind the main building, a four-story building is an annex building, which used to be the central health laboratory for bacteriological warfare research and human experiments. The first floor is like an ordinary laboratory, which actually studies cholera, typhoid fever and plague. On the second floor is a room for keeping mice and fleas; The third floor is the "prisoner" life laboratory; The fourth floor is the top floor where "prisoners" are held and tested, which can accommodate 100 prisoners. Once the prisoner enters here, it is impossible to get out alive.
The living subjects are from prisoners.
194 1 year, human experimental research reached its climax. They conducted heinous experiments with their collaborators who came to Nanjing by boat from Japan, observed "prisoners" drinking poisonous snake solution and anthrax culture solution, and made living rabies infection experiments; Inject the venom and venom of centipede, scorpion, Agkistrodon halys and other small animals into living people to study their various lesions; The most cruel thing is to carry out chemical weapons experiments, tie "prisoners" to chairs in gas chambers, open containers filled with hydrocyanic acid and seal them, and record and observe all kinds of painful conditions of experiments before death. Regardless of the success of the above research results, the subjects were killed and the remains were finally thrown into the crematorium or buried underground.
In actual combat, the type of poison used by the Japanese army is sneezing diphenyl cyanide (called "red 1" by the Japanese army), accounting for 81%of the known war cases; 19% used deadly poison. This is not for humanitarian reasons, but because diphenylcyanide can quickly incapacitate unprotected soldiers; In addition, the effective time of this poison on the battlefield is very short, usually within a few minutes, which is very suitable for the attack of Japanese infantry.
194 1 Yichang in the offensive and defensive war, the 9th Division of the 2nd Army of China invaded Yichang City, which was less than one kilometer away from the headquarters of Japanese divisions 13. At this time, the Japanese army was on the verge of despair, so they burned secret documents and military flags, and senior officers were ready to commit suicide. In order to save the defeat, the Japanese army decided to make a final struggle with gas bombs. In three days, four large-scale chemical attacks were carried out, and 1500 arsenic poison bombs, 1000 mustard gas mixed poison bombs and 300 poison bombs dropped by airplanes were launched. In addition, a large number of poison bombs were used. It caused a large number of casualties to China's army and residents, among which 9 and 76 divisions were poisoned 1600 people and 600 people died. Due to the heavy casualties of the attacking troops, the plan to counterattack Yichang failed.
1942 10, Autopsy Room of "73 1 Army" in Pingfang District, Harbin, China. A China person infected with the plague was tied with limbs and fixed on an autopsy table. A Japanese military doctor drew an ellipse on his chest and abdomen with a sharp scalpel. The China people who showed all their internal organs shouted at the top of their lungs: "Devil!" He died.
Standing in front of the autopsy table, Shinohara's legs kept shaking. He wants to put the heart, liver, kidney, etc. Take it out of an China person's body and put it in a glass bottle. When he dissected the third person, he could no longer feel the pain of killing.
In "73 1 Army", both China and the Soviet Union are called "logs". Military doctors should use them to analyze the whole process of human illness after being infected by various bacteria, get data, and thus create extremely lethal bacterial weapons.
1when Japan was doomed to defeat on August 9, 945, the "73 1 army" made a terrible mess in order to keep the appalling secret of bacteria and human experiments that violated international conventions.
Yamamoto Yu, who was driving in the "73 1 Army" at that time, heard that the remaining 200 "logs" were collectively locked in the warehouse and killed with poison gas. The next day, Yamamoto was ordered to drive a truck to a special prison. On the way, he saw black smoke rising from the prison yard. A few minutes later, he drove the car, loaded with the bones of the "log" that had been burned to ashes, and went to the Songhua River to "dump the body".
After the Japanese surrender, China cleaned up the "serum vaccine factory". At that time, there were more than 30 tons of oriental dishes (agar) and 100 boxes of fish paste left in the "manufacturing house". According to rough calculation, this batch of culture medium is enough to make 30 thousand milliliters of inhuman bacterial weapons. According to the Japanese bacterial war criminals themselves, Zi Rong 1644 Army can produce 10 kg of bacteria in a production cycle if all the equipment in Nanjing is started. 1644 The troops also carried out flea breeding while cultivating bacteria. In order to breed fleas, * * * used about 100 petrol cans.
The Japanese invaders not only did experiments on animals, but also carried out horrible human experiments like 73 1 troops. According to Harris, an American expert, the number of experimental deaths is at least 1200.
The Japanese army launched a germ war crazily.
The main duty of Nanjing germ warfare base is to produce a large number of fleas and pathogens, and to test these products in practical use. Since 1940, this unit has provided great help to the 73 1 expedition in three major germ wars.
The first time was the plague war in Ningbo, Quxian, Jinhua, Yiwu and Dongyang in eastern Zhejiang from 65438 to 0940. At that time, Ningbo was a deep-water port that could be navigable with foreign countries. The Japanese army tried to artificially break out the plague epidemic there and block the external passage. This battle was carried out by the Japanese Kwantung Army issuing the C 659 order. The main targets are Ningbo and Quxian, with Jinhua as a backup. The latter two places are important places from Zhejiang to Jiangxi, and later Yushan, Wenzhou and Taizhou were added.
1940 10 10 On October 4th, Japanese planes dropped wheat and grain mixed with plague fleas in Quxian county, and then the plague spread. A large number of mice died one after another, and human cases appeared one after another after 20 days, and they died in three or four days.
1 1 year1late October, plague patients gradually increased and spread to neighboring areas.
1940101At about two o'clock on the afternoon of October 27th, Japanese planes dropped a yellow fog like a smoke screen in Ningbo. After a rustle, a lot of wheat, millet and flour were scattered on the ground, especially the blood-red ones, which were fat red fleas. Then the plague prevailed in Ningbo. According to statistics, people died at that time, and a large-scale plague epidemic occurred in Quzhou area soon, killing more than 2,000 people.
194 1 At the beginning of March, the plague broke out again, and it got worse. Because Japanese planes frequently attacked Quxian county, people in the city were evacuated to the countryside, so the plague spread in the countryside, and at least 1200 people died. The plague in Quxian County also spread to neighboring Yiwu County, Chongshan Village and surrounding villages.
The most serious plague epidemic in Yiwu County was in Chongshan Village, Jiangwan Township, which lasted from 1942 to 1943, with 369 deaths, accounting for one third of the total population at that time.
After careful study and analysis, Chen Wengui, then the laboratory instructor of China Red Cross Rescue Team, suggested that this was probably the plague spread by fleas with bacteria used by the Japanese army.
Chen Wengui's words shocked and disturbed the authorities. The Kuomintang government was afraid that once this fact was exposed, it would have terrible consequences, so it tried its best to ban it. At the same time, Chen Wengui was warned that it was a military secret and should not be disclosed.
The second time was the plague war in Changde, Hunan in 194 1. Changde is the granary, the base of rations for China army in Central China, and the base of grain consumption in Sichuan rear area. It is of great strategic significance for the Japanese army to use germ warfare to spread the plague with grain transportation and even to the rear area of Sichuan.
This time, Chen Wengui seized the opportunity and led the investigation team to Changde for on-the-spot investigation and evidence collection.
According to years of practical experience and the viewpoint of plague epidemiology, Chen Wengui wrote an investigation report. In his report, he pointed out with great certainty that this was a plague flea dropped by the Japanese army, which led to the plague epidemic.
This is an ironclad fact. However, the corrupt Kuomintang government at that time ignored the life and death of the people and still ignored it. Facing the fatuous Kuomintang government, Chen Wengui could only sigh.
Later, through investigation, it was found that within a few days, a family was killed by Yersinia pestis released from Japan. At first, they bought coffins to do Dojo, but not long after, even the monks who did Dojo were infected and killed.
The third time was the germ warfare on the 1942 zhejiang-jiangxi railway line, which was a large-scale germ warfare using various warfare agents. At that time, in order to support China's Anti-Japanese War, the US military sent B25 bombers from Pacific ships to attack and bombed more than ten Japanese cities, including Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe, and won. On the way back, we will land at the airport on the eastern coast of Zhejiang. In order to get rid of this hidden danger, the Japanese army completely destroyed three airports along zhejiang-jiangxi railway (Quxian, Lishui and Yushan), attacked from both sides, repelled the defenders of China and destroyed the airports and railway lines. When the Japanese army withdrew from its position, it used a variety of germ warfare agents, which spread from the air and the ground, causing plague, cholera and other infectious diseases to spread in the above areas, causing heavy casualties among local China soldiers and civilians.
Xiong Liang, the ancient capital of crime, confessed in the Soviet military court: during the expedition to East China led by Ishii, typhoid and paratyphoid bacteria were used to pollute reservoirs and wells for bacterial attacks; Distribute 3,000 special scones injected with bacteria to 3,000 prisoners in China prisoner-of-war concentration camp, take photos to show off as a Japanese charity, and then let all the people go, thus causing the epidemic of typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever, and paratyphoid fever is the most toxic.
Although the evidence of crime destroyed the crime, it went down in history.
1945, the news of Japan's defeat came, and the officers were very panicked and in chaos. The Japanese high command in China issued the same order to all germ warfare troops, and all germ warfare factories must be destroyed immediately. The facilities of Zhongshan East Road in Nanjing were all destroyed in the explosion, including all top-secret documents and archives kept from June 1939 to June 1945. They were burned for three days and nights, and all the physical evidence of chemical and biological weapons and the living experimental research records used in bacterial warfare were burned.
A week later, the news came that the Kuomintang government in Chongqing was going to send personnel to take over, and the germ warfare troops were ordered again: "Anyone with germs, from fleas and rats to the living, will be burned to death!" The bodies of more than 100 poisoned living people piled up like mountains, and all of them were thrown into the Yangtze River after burning for a few days. Some bodies that were not burned were buried underground.
The main force of Rong 1644 managed to escape back to China before the Japanese army entered Nanking. The second and third generation army commander Masuda and other senior colleagues of Dachuan also escaped arrest. Some of them held important positions such as president of medical university and director of infectious disease research institute after the war. Only the fourth generation commander Sato was captured by the Soviet Union and tried by the Berry Soviet Military Court, and the last generation commander Yamazaki was tried by the China army. However, Jintaro Ishida, an army draftsman, lived in seclusion. Before he died, he told the world: "The atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing were not only massacres, but also human experiments, vivisection and bacterial culture carried out by Nanjing 73 1 troops." He told his relatives about the shady story of the 1644 troops, "making historical facts known to the world".
In addition to 1644 troops engaged in germ warfare, Japanese Army 73 1 troops also engaged in germ warfare, committing heinous crimes against the people of China.
As early as 1930s, the Japanese army used bacteria to carry out large-scale germ warfare in some areas of China. It was in the 1940s, covering the whole China war zone. The bacteria used include anthrax, cholera, plague, dysentery, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever and almost all kinds of fungi at that time. However, it is difficult to accurately count the number of people killed by Japanese bacterial weapons in China. According to conservative estimates, there are more than 800,000 people. 194 1 year, Japanese planes dropped a large number of fleas with Yersinia pestis over Changde, causing thousands of civilians to die of plague. At that time, the archives of the national government showed that hundreds of people died. However, after in-depth investigation, more than 7,600 people died, and more than 390 villagers in a village were all killed except one who went out to work.
The infamous Japanese Kwantung Army 73 1, Kwantung Army 100 (mammals), East China 1855, Central China 1644, South China 8604, South China 9420 and other germ warfare units and their branches carried out inhuman experiments and actual attacks on the land of China, creating human history. After the war, the United States sheltered a large number of germ warfare criminals, such as Shiro Ishii, in order to obtain the results of germ warfare research and actual combat, so that Japanese germ warfare crimes could not be investigated and liquidated.
