73 1 The origin of the name of the army:
"73 1" had three historical names during the Yin Beihe period (1932~ 1934): it was called "Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention Class" externally, and its internal secret name was "Jiamao Army" or "Dongxiang Army". Japanese scholar Qiaoxiong Matsumura wrote in the book War and Plague: "(1932 Shiro Ishii) started the research on bacterial warfare in the Yinbeihe Epidemic Prevention Class (Dongxiang Army) in Wuchang County, about 70 kilometers southeast of Harbin."
Taiwan Province scholar Zhijin Fujii wrote in the book "73 1 Troops-Biochemical Terror of Japanese Devils": "1932, the heads of the Army Province, the General Staff Department and the Kwantung Army listened to Ishii's suggestion, and first established the' Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention Class' in Yinbei, near Harbin, with Jiamao troops as anonymity ..."
Accordingly, the public name of "73 1" is "Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention Class" in the Northern Galaxy Period. There are two anonymous: "Jiamao troops" and "Dongxiang troops". Seiichi Morimura, the author of The Devil's Feast, also mentioned in the book that veterans of 73 1 Army told him that there were two secret names at that time: Jiamaojun and Dongxiang Army.
The origin of the name "Jiamaojun" is because "Jiamao" is the name of Shiro Ishii's hometown, and most of the people who followed Ishii to Yinbeihe were recruited by Ishii from Jiamao. The origin of the name "Dongxiang Army" is due to Ishii Shiro's renaming as "Dongxiang Spring Clothes" ("Dongxiang Zhao") and Ishii's worship of Tougou Heihachirou, commander-in-chief of the Russian army in the Russo-Japanese War (1905).
During the "cottage period" (1935 ~ 1945), the external names of 73 1 troops were "kwantung army epidemic prevention department" and "kwantung army epidemic prevention and water supply department" successively. The secret names are Ishii Force, Nara Force and Manchuria 73 1 Force. Long Er once confessed in Boli Court: "The unit was originally called' Epidemic Prevention Department', and was later called' Epidemic Prevention Water Supply Department '( 1940)."
In another trial, he confessed: "194 1 years ago, this unit was not officially named, and it was called the kwantung army epidemic prevention and water supply department, also known as the Ishii unit, because all Japanese troops were usually called by the surname of the unit chief. 194 1 year, when the commander-in-chief of the kwantung army ordered all the troops and organs of the whole army to adopt the serial number, this unit began to be named 73 1 unit. "
One of them, "73 1 troops", began to be used after 194 1 year. Today, however, people always refer to the Japanese germ warfare troops in Harbin as "73 1 troops". In Japan, some scholars even regard "73 1 Army" as a synonym for "Japan's germ warfare".
About "Nara Army", this is the secret name of the germ warfare expedition sent by 73 1 Army from 1940 to 1942 to Central China.
According to the work log "Iuboto Log" of Nobuo Nomoto, the staff officer of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army at that time, 73 1 Army 1940 conducted a germ war in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province from September to June. 194 1 year165438+1October 4th, a germ war broke out in Changde, Hunan. 1942 from July to August, a germ war was waged along the zhejiang-jiangxi railway.
73 1 Force organized an expedition to cooperate with Nanjing 1644 Force in these three germ wars. Why is this expedition called "Nara Army"? The former veteran of the 73 1 Army who participated in the germ warfare expedition in Zhejiang in 1940 said: The general affairs director of the 73 1 Army who was responsible for organizing the expedition at that time was called Inada Nara, so he took "Nara" as the secret name of the expedition.
