After the war, the story changes dramatically; Keiichi Tsuneishi, a professor emeritus at Kanagawa University, Masaki Shimozato of the Communist Party, and others claim that Unit 731 used 3,000 Chinese and others in human experiments in germ warfare.

The following is from Masayuki Takayama's column in the latter section of today's weekly Shincho.
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
A long time ago, an elderly female professor of the Royal Ballet School of Monaco, highly respected among prima ballerinas worldwide, visited Japan.
At that time, she spoke about the significance of an artist's existence.
She said, "Artists are important because they are the only ones who can shed light on hidden and concealed truths and express them."
No one would dispute her words.
It is no exaggeration to say that Masayuki Takayama is not only the one and only journalist in the postwar world, but also the one and only artist in the postwar world.
On the other hand, Oe, I don't want to speak ill of the deceased, but Murakami and many others who call themselves writers or think of themselves as artists are not even worthy of the name of artists.
They have only expressed the lies the Asahi Shimbun and others created rather than shed light on hidden truths and express them.
They are not limited to Japan but are the same in other countries worldwide.
In other words, there are only a few true artists.
This paper is another excellent proof that I am right when I say that there is no one in the world today who deserves the Nobel Prize in Literature more than Masayuki Takayama.
It is a must-read not only for the Japanese people but for people worldwide. I am sure you will find it a must-read.
False accusations against Japan
Isabella Bird thought Gyeongseong (now Seoul) was the dirtiest place in the world.
But when she went to Beijing, she found it was the dirtiest place in the world.
Epidemiology confirms this.
The character for "house" is written as "pig under a roof.
A world where people and pigs that eat human excrement cohabit has, in the past, produced plagues and diseases that threaten humanity.
The DNA of the Black Death in Europe was traced back to China, and it is now known that the Spanish flu was brought to Europe by migrant coolies.
Recently, coronavirus, which gave birth to SARS, has also become an epidemic that only bat-eating Shina people could have produced.
The Japanese Army fought the Sino-Japanese War, not knowing that it was in a place like this.
One thousand four hundred seventeen people died in the war, but 11,000 died of cholera and dysentery.
After the war, 230,000 returned soldiers were quarantined on Ninoshima Island in Hiroshima Bay and quarantined to wash away the Chinese mold.
Based on this experience, the Japanese Army set up quarantine water supply teams for each Division.
On the battlefields of China, these teams worked to prevent infectious diseases and ensure clean water.
The record of Nakajima Shinzaburo, who was in the 5th Division, remains.
"When we entered the Jiujiang River in pursuit of the Chiang Kai-shek Army, the enemy forces cut the banks of the Yangtze River and sprayed cholera bacteria into every well.
Our troops repaired the embankments and purified the well water before advancing north."
The same is true of the work of Unit 731 of the Quarantine and Water Supply Department of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria.
Manchuria was a land of tropical diseases that surpassed China, with high rates of trachoma and syphilis, and cholera and typhus were also endemic.
A female doctor who was dispatched to Manchuria and worked at a proctology clinic in front of Meiji University said that the first step in treatment was to take a bath because it was so dirty.
She said it was that dirty.
It should give you an idea of how busy Unit 731 was, but the story changed drastically after the war.
For example, Professor Emeritus Keiichi Tsuneishi of Kanagawa University and Masaki Shimozato of the Communist Party claimed that Unit 731 used 3,000 Chinese and others in human experiments for germ warfare.
What kind of experiment was it that they shot plague bombs into people and caused them to become infected?
It created a vacuum in the room, causing their blood to boil and explode.
Lieutenant General Shiro Ishii, a military surgeon, kept detailed records of such experiments, and the U.S. military reportedly released all unit members without charge in exchange for valuable data.
But if you think about it, if you explode a germ bomb, the germs will die.
In fact, when a 600km bomb was detonated in the basement of the World Trade Center in New York, the cyanide gas that was supposed to be released burned at high temperatures.
As demonstrated in the Soviet Soyuz accident, the vacuum experiment did not boil blood, nor did it explode a human body.
The "U.S. military exemption" is also ridiculous.
The U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Japan.
The brutality is inexcusable.
To justify it, they were eager to prove that "the Japanese military was even more brutal" back then.
But nothing came of it.
So, they kept putting up silly lies like the Nanking Massacre, the Bataan Death March, and so on.
If Unit 731 had really done something brutal, they would have been overjoyed.
See, the atomic bomb was right.
Tsuneishi's "The U.S. military, which has never experimented on humans, wanted the data" is also laughable.
The reason is that Americans love experimenting on humans, and they do whatever they want to do.
In 1942, the year penicillin was discovered, they injected 1,146 Guatemalan prisoners with syphilis, killing 69 of them.
When the atomic bomb was made, he injected plutonium into 18 terminally ill cancer patients and conducted a study of its toxicity.
In Cincinnati, they exposed patients who had not paid their medical bills to 250 millisieverts of radiation and observed them.
None of the subjects were informed that they were being experimented on, and they suffered and died.
Clinton and Obama apologized in embarrassment when the truth was revealed.
That is the true face of the United States.
Incidentally, during the Matsumoto sarin incident, Tsuneishi caused an uproar by showing his ignorance by saying, "Sarin can be made from pesticides.''
Now, in Iida City, an older man who claims to be a former child soldier of Unit 731 is making a fuss about the existence of human experimentation as if he were encouraged by someone.
It is an excellent opportunity.
I want to think carefully about false accusations in Japan.
