Exposing Japanese Army Human Experiments and Biological Warfare – Movie ‘731’ Releases Poster

(Beijing, September 17, Comprehensive News) The movie ‘731’ has released its poster and is scheduled for nationwide release in Malaysia on September 25.

According to ‘CCTV News’, the film tells the story of atrocities committed by the Japanese invading army in the waning days of the Anti-Japanese War. Attempting to turn the tide, they conducted biological warfare research and massacred civilians for human experiments in the Pingfang district of Harbin, Heilongjiang.

The report cites declassified files released by the Public Relations Center of the Federal Security Service of Russia on August 19th. The files reveal that the Japanese Army’s Unit 731, in launching biological warfare, repeatedly carried out human experiments, even using bacteria-laden shells to attack hundreds of Chinese people, so as to calculate infection rates and determine the ‘quality’ of pathogens.

The report also interviewed Sunaga Kikuta, who was recruited into the Youth Squad of Japan’s invading Unit 731 in April 1943.

Sunaga Kikuta stated that this squad was formed to supplement manpower and train reserves for biological warfare. Its members were from Japan, aged between 14 and 18.

Sunaga Kikuta recalled, “Ceramic biological bombs were about 1.8 or 2 meters high, filled with vectors like plague-carrying fleas. If metal bombs were used, the heat from the explosion would kill the fleas, but ceramic bombs did not have this problem.”
