Kazuo Iwahashi, Chief of Staff of Japan’s Southeast Asian Secret Forces.

The so-called "Japanese secret forces", 731 Ishii Unit is one of them.

Not just 731, No. 0, No. 100, they are all the same bacterial experimental troops as 731.

In Singapore, in Southeast Asia, a bacterial force named "9420" was stationed.

The Japanese army files listed it as "Unit 9420".

These organizations are under the jurisdiction of secret forces.

Kazuo Iwahashi, Dazuo.

Almost all the secret missions of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia were planned and commanded by him.

Of course, he is not only responsible for bacterial warfare, but also responsible for instigating rebellion, theft, robbery, sabotage, assassination, kidnapping and other shady tasks.

For example, the Gangzi Unit 9429 was nominally dedicated to eradicating local infectious diseases, so it also attracted local elites to join.

For example, Osman Mahathir, who later became one of the founding fathers of Singapore, was one of them.

And Kazuo Iwahashi was involved in all of this.

When Meng Shaoyuan met Kazuo Iwahashi for the first time, the chief of general staff felt more like a scholar than a soldier.

He is proficient in Japanese, Chinese, English, can speak French and Latin, and has done some research on regional languages ​​of Southeast Asia.

At any time and in front of anyone, he always gives people a gentle feeling.

But when he turned around, he turned into another face.

Countless innocent people died directly or indirectly at his hands.

This is a jackal in the skin of a scholar!

When he saw Meng Shaoyuan for the first time, he had a kind smile on his face: "You must be Mr. Taniguchi. I just heard Mr. Shintani introduce you. He has great expectations for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Xingu, for your compliment. It's an honor to meet you here, Mr. Iwaqiao." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly.

"Ah, I don't think there is any need to say polite words." Kazuo Iwahashi spoke unhurriedly: "You all know my mission here, and I won't stay here long.

Taniguchi-kun, I heard that Mr. Shintani once suggested that you leave Manila, but you refused?"

When he saw "Shibu Taniguchi" nodding, Kazuo Iwahashi immediately said: "Your Excellency, Commander Yamashita, has decided not to expend too much power in Manila, but instead to enter the northern mountainous area and build a position with Baguio as the center.

Prolonged defense and launched a fierce attack on the Americans.

But when I arrived in Manila, I found that Mr. Iwabuchi seemed to have his own ideas."

This was a conflict between high-level officials, and Meng Shaoyuan knew it was not the time for him to speak.

Sure enough, Iwahashi Kazuo continued: "Your Excellency Iwabuchi may have his own ideas, but the Army must resolutely implement the orders of Commander Yamashita. Mr. Taniguchi, you have to know how dangerous it will be to stay in Manila.

This time, upon the order of Commander Yamashita, Your Excellency Shintani will also evacuate Manila with me."

Is Shintani-senpai leaving?

Although Meng Shao had already made such preparations, when he actually confirmed the news, he still felt a little disappointed.

He knew that it was the best choice for Takuma Shintani to leave Manila.

However, after working together with Senior Xingu for such a long time, Meng Shaoyuan felt a little reluctant to part ways suddenly.

The Chinese quartet is the only one left.

This farewell, I don’t know when we can see each other again.

"I also just received the order." Takuma Shintani seemed to see something: "Taniguchi-kun, you are a young talent and the future of the empire. I still hope that you can leave with us."

It is impossible to leave.

Meng Shaoyuan cheered up: "Senior, I also hope to continue to fight side by side with you, but in Manila, we cannot all leave. We still need to continue fighting here.

Of course, there is no need for everyone to stay here. I will draw up a list as soon as possible and follow you in your retreat. These people are the best among the best! They will play a greater role in the future!"

Seeing that Meng Shaoyuan had made up his mind, Iwahashi Kazuo did not continue to persuade him too much: "I greatly admire Mr. Taniguchi's loyalty and bravery. Even though Mr. Taniguchi has made up his mind, I can't say anything more. It's okay for Mr. Taniguchi to stay here.

, I originally had a task and I didn’t know who should perform it, but now, Taniguchi-kun should be the best candidate."

Meng Shaoyuan was immediately attentive: "Please give me your instructions, Mr. Yanqiao."

Iwahashi Kazuo glanced at Takuma Shintani and lowered his voice: "The battle to defend Manila is bound to be very brutal. Since Lord Iwabuchi has decided to defend this place, we cannot sit idly by."

What's the meaning?

Could it be said that Yamashita Fengwen changed his decision and prepared to increase troops for protection?

Iwahashi Kazuo's voice gradually became colder: "We will make the Americans pay the heaviest price every step and every minute in Manila.

This time, I brought a batch of special supplies that I need to release on a large scale in Manila after the US military enters the city."

Special supplies?

What's the meaning?

Bacterial attack?

Meng Shaoyuan's heart tightened suddenly.

Sure enough, Kazuo Iwahashi said slowly: "What I brought this time is thirty kilograms of No. 9 medicine."

Drug No. 9!

Meng Shaoyuan sighed in his heart.

That’s it: rat fleas!

The Gangzi 9420 unit mainly studies the use of plague as a military weapon. Their research found that every 10,000 rats can produce 10 kilograms of rat fleas.

The reproductive capacity of rats is so strong that it is almost inexhaustible, thus ensuring a continuous supply of raw materials!

Army researchers fed captured mice and then injected them with Yersinia pestis.

Rats develop rat fleas soon after they become sick, and rat fleas survive by eating the dead hosts.

The researchers then separated the rat fleas from the host corpse and fed them with blood.

Every 3 to 4 months, millions of rat fleas are sent to Thailand in glass bottles and then used on the battlefield.

The Japanese army would also transport rats here from various places to continue breeding rat fleas. In 1943 alone, more than 30,000 rats were transported to Singapore from one location in Tokyo.

Only 5 grams of rat fleas carrying the virus can easily kill 500 to 600 people, allowing the Japanese army to kill enemy soldiers on a large scale without wasting ammunition.

These virus-carrying rats and fleas were not used in large quantities on the battlefields of Southeast Asia and were mainly used in the Chinese war zone.

During an air raid, the Japanese army dropped rats and fleas to attack the defenders in Zhejiang, killing at least 9,000 people.

In addition to soldiers, innocent people were also affected.

And now, this rat flea has finally been used in Southeast Asia.

Used Manila.

However, Iwahashi Kazuo actually gave this task to himself.
Chapter completed!
