Qu San's death marked the end of the Qilin Ridge Rebellion.
Zheng Xiao also screened the small leaders who followed Qu San in the rebellion. Those who had anything to do with the Japanese were executed. However, those who were just coveting Qu San's interests, Zheng Xiao released and dismissed them.
Went down the mountain.
No matter what, they can't be left on the mountain anymore, because Qilin Ridge will become the base of Longya's detachment. In order to keep it secret, all those who stay on the mountain must be absolutely reliable.
After some selection and screening, in the end there were less than thirty young bandits left, and the rest were given two yuan and sent down the mountain.
As a result, in addition to the forty bandits left on the mountain, even the thirty bandits were left, and the total number was less than a hundred.
Of course, Qilin Ridge will need to be expanded. After this expansion, the number of people is estimated to be at least about 300. By then, the Qilin detachment will be quite large.
Zheng Xiao promised to send instructors and instructors over when he returns. At that time, everyone including the Forty Thieves will undergo intensive training to effectively improve their combat capabilities.
Although the Forty Thieves have good individual combat capabilities, they lack too much in special operations, and they need to undergo strict special training.
Otherwise, if we encounter bloody saber soldiers like Black Bee and others again, with the current combat power of the Forty Thieves, the entire army will be wiped out.
These people are Zheng Xiao's treasures. They were born in this era, and their physical fitness is much stronger than that of later generations. Moreover, their many years of banditry have given them extremely strong combat effectiveness. With appropriate on-demand training, they can advance by leaps and bounds and become an army.
A special operations detachment that is fearful of the enemy.
Everyone in Qilin Ridge is also looking forward to that day. In the past few days of contact with Zhuge Yaomei and the others, the Forty Thieves have been impressed by their powerful combat capabilities and the advanced weapons and equipment that make them drool.
Made a very deep impression.
Everyone can't wait when they think that in the near future they will have such an advanced set of weapons and equipment and be so powerful.
Yu Sanpao, Mandrill, and several other mountain top bosses also returned. They also agreed to join the Longya Special Warfare Brigade. However, they still have a group of people under them who need to be settled. Those who should be sent away should be brought over.
Bring them here, and after settling in, they will rush over to join the forty thieves, and then they will receive special training from Dragon Teeth together.
Zheng Xiao did the math and found that if nothing unexpected happened and with the addition of those people from those forces, the Qilin Special Warfare Detachment should be able to break through the 150-man mark. He was already very satisfied with this result.
When he entered Liaoyang City this time, he didn't expect to get such an unexpected gain. Not only did he find out the situation of the enemy's underground warehouse, but he also unintentionally accepted a group of good men. This was really a piece of pie falling from the sky.
Zheng Xiao was busy all day the next day, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat. Because he could only stay here for one day, and he would take the armed helicopter that came to pick him up the next morning to return to Niutou Town.
There he was to join Zhuge Hong, who was leading the team, to direct the rescue operation against Jingshan.
Three days ago, he promised Jing Tian'er to rescue Mr. Jingshan. He has never forgotten this matter, so as soon as the matter here comes to an end, he will leave immediately and rush there.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Zheng Xiao finally finished his work and had his first meal of the day.
The dinner was very sumptuous, including a whole roasted pheasant, a large pot of ribs, and a steel pot of rice, which was enough for four or five people.
The rice is red rice, a specialty of Guandong Mountain. It is light red in color and tastes very good. The pheasant and ribs are also very delicious. Zheng Xiao has a big appetite and eats three bowls of rice, half a chicken and a lot of ribs in one go.
While eating, there was a knock on the door. Zheng Xiao went over to open the door with his rice bowl, and found the blood fox standing outside the door looking in.
"Come on, come on, I have rice and ribs here, you can eat some too." Zheng Xiao greeted the blood fox, then he took another bowl of rice, poured a spoonful of ribs soup on the rice, and then started to take a big sip.
It tastes good.
Xue Hu reached the other side of the table, lit a cigarette with great interest, and then smoked while watching Zheng Xiao eat. He couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, you have such a big appetite, you can really eat it."
Zheng Xiao didn't even raise his head, and while devouring his food, he said, "I haven't eaten for a whole day. If I don't eat something, I will starve to death."
While he was talking, a bowl of rice had already entered his stomach. After putting down the rice bowl, Zheng Xiao patted his belly with satisfaction and lit a cigarette.
The two of them were chatting across the table and didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, Xuehu put out the cigarette butt, and then spoke first, "Brother, how much do you know about that mysterious place that Qu San mentioned that day?"
Zheng Xiao knew that this was why he came, so he smiled and said, "I know that's why you came, brother. Let me tell you about Unit 731."
Unit 731, the full name of Unit 731 in Manchuria, is the code name of the bacterial warfare agent factory of the Japanese invading army. In order to deceive others, it was called "Kamo Unit", "Togo Unit", and "Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Headquarters".
During the Anti-Japanese War and World War II, Unit 731 was a secret military medical unit of the Japanese invaders engaged in biological warfare research and human experimentation. For the sake of confidentiality, it was disguised as a water purification unit.
At that time, Unit 731 built its base in the Pingfang District near Harbin in northeast China, with a large bacteria factory covering an area of 300 acres. This area was then part of the puppet regime Manchukuo. Some researchers believe that more than 10,000 Chinese, North Koreans
People, as well as allied prisoners of war, were killed in the experiments of Unit 731, but there is still controversy over the number. On the eve of Japan's surrender, Japan retreated in a hurry and blew up the factory to destroy evidence of crime. A large number of infected animals escaped, bringing great disaster to the local people.
.
The 731st Unit of the Japanese Kwantung Army is a special force prepared by Japanese militarism for germ warfare and occupies an important strategic position.
The so-called "small Harbin, big bungalow" by Japanese soldiers illustrates this point in a sense. In terms of its scale, it is actually the largest bacterial factory in the world. In terms of its status, it belongs to Japan.
The Ministry of War, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters and the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters have dual leadership. The personnel allocation is very strong. There are more than 2,600 staff engaged in germ warfare research, including five general-level officers and more than 30 school-level officers.
, more than 300 lieutenant-level officers.
From 1936 to July 1942, Lieutenant General Shiro Ishii served as the commander of the force. From August 1942 to February 1945, Major General Kitano Masaji took over as the commander of the force. In 1945
From March to August of the same year, Shiro Ishii was again appointed commander of the army. Each of its directly subordinate departments and detachments were assigned junior officers to take charge, and some important departments were assigned major general-level officers to take charge.
Unit 731 is divided into eight departments and four detachments.
The first department is responsible for bacterial research, headed by Major General Kikuchi.
The second department is mainly responsible for bacterial experiments, and Colonel Ohta also serves as the director.
The third department is responsible for the manufacturing of bacterial weapons, with Lieutenant Colonel Eguchi as its director.
The fourth department is responsible for bacterial production, with Major General Kawashima as the director. This department has two branches, each branch independently produces various bacteria according to the division of labor.
The fifth department is the General Affairs Department, initially headed by Lieutenant Colonel Nakadome, and later by Colonel Ohta. This department is a comprehensive department of the 731 unit headquarters and has great power. It is not only responsible for the financial management, production planning, and personnel allocation of the entire unit, but also
And more importantly, it is necessary to directly contact the gendarmerie and accept people who conduct bacterial experiments.
The sixth department is the Training and Education Department, initially headed by Colonel Sonoda, and later Lieutenant Commander Nishi. The seventh department is the Information Supply Department, headed by Major General Otani. This department is responsible for the supply of various equipment and equipment.
The eighth department is the Diagnostic and Treatment Department, headed by Nagayama Nagayama. This department is responsible for the prevention of bacterial infections and the medical treatment of Japanese diseases.
Parallel to each department, there is also an Ishii special class, which is personally controlled by members of Shiro Ishii's family. Takeo, the second son of Shiro Ishii, is responsible for the management of the "Special Secret Prison", and Sano, the third brother of Shiro Ishii, is responsible for the leadership of the breeding of experimental animals.
.
In addition to the bungalow headquarters, Unit 731, Ishii's bacterial force also has four detachments:
Unit 162 (Linkou Detachment): Located in Linkou County, the leader of the detachment is Lieutenant Colonel Nishi Toshihide, a military doctor, and was later succeeded by Lieutenant Colonel Hideo Sakakihara, a military doctor.
Troop 643 (Mudanjiang or Hailin Detachment): Located in Hailin Town, the detachment leader is Masao Ogami, a military doctor. Major. Troop 673 (Sunwu Detachment): Located in Sunwu County, Heihe City, the detachment leader is Junying Nishi, a military doctor.
Unit 543 (Hailar Detachment): Located in Hailar City, the detachment leader is Major Tsuneori Kato, a military doctor.
Unit 319 (Dalian Bacteriological Research Institute): Located in Dalian City, formerly known as the South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. Health Research Institute, it was placed under Unit 731 in 1939.
The experiments conducted by Unit 731 mainly include the following:
Vivisection: A special project codenamed "Malu Da" was conducted on human subjects: subjects were captured from the Chinese population, also known as "Yuanmu" (Wanta)
Grenade test: Use humans to conduct grenade tests at different distances and positions.
Frostbite test: used to test a person's resistance to cold at different temperatures.
Flamethrower experiment: Unit 731 locked the experimenter in an abandoned armored vehicle and roasted it with a flamethrower to test the power of the flamethrower. But the experiment was meaningless. No armored vehicle would stay in place and let you roast it. It was purely
It's just "entertainment".
Plague experiment: Injecting the Yersinia pestis bacilli into the subjects and observing their reactions. This method was also applied to Soviet prisoners of war captured by the Japanese army at the border.
Developing defoliants and bacterial bombs: The most prominent "result" is the Ishii bomb. The pineapple bomb later used by the US military in Vietnam was also an improved version of the bomb. The Ishii bomb has a ceramic shell and contains bacteria-carrying bombs. Ishii Shiro also has a
The first invention was the stone well water filter. It was used to solve the problem of treating sewage as drinking water for soldiers fighting in the field. It was considered the only useful invention of the 731 unit.
Ishii wanted to use chemical weapons in May 1944 following the Pacific conflict, but his attempts were repeatedly thwarted due to poor planning and Allied interference. When it became clear that the war would soon end, Ishii ordered
Destroyed the equipment and facilities, and told his men to "take the secrets to their graves."
His Japanese troops assembled in the final days of the war to destroy evidence of their human experiments, including poisoning and burning 400 "Ma Luda" prisoners; and deliberately releasing all plague-infected animals.
The United States believes that these research data are of considerable value because the Allied Powers have never conducted this type of human experiment. At the same time, the United States does not want any other country, especially the Soviet Union, to obtain these data for use in researching biological weapons. Therefore, as
In exchange for obtaining this data, the United States will not prosecute officers of Unit 731 with war crimes.
Of course, Zheng Xiao could not tell Xuehu all these contents, because according to the normal historical process, Unit 731 would not be established until after 1937. It may be more accurate to call this mysterious unit the predecessor of Unit 731.
Moreover, even if he told Xuehu some of the content, he might not be able to understand it, so Zheng Xiao just told him some concisely to give him a preliminary understanding.
Blood Fox was fascinated by what he heard. He didn't expect that this mysterious unit had such a powerful background. It was really unbelievable. However, he believed that Zheng Xiao would not lie to him. This mysterious unit 731 must exist.
After listening to everything, Xuehu pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "Brother, this 731 unit must not be retained, otherwise it will be a big disaster."
Zheng Xiao strongly agreed with his point of view. He also felt that the existence of this army was simply a sin and must be eradicated as soon as possible.
After discussing it with Xuehu, the two finally agreed that after the matter here is settled, they will find a way to take down the Japanese troops' headquarters of Unit 731.
