In addition to the Pingfang headquarters (659st Unit), Ishii's bacterial unit (731th Unit) also has 4 detachments:
Unit 162 (Linkou Detachment): Located in Linkou County, the detachment commander was Lieutenant Colonel Nishi Toshiei, a military doctor, and was later succeeded by Major Colonel Sakakibara Hideo, a military doctor.

543 Unit (Hailar Detachment): Located in Hailar City, the detachment commander is Major Kato Tsunesuke, a military doctor.
Unit 319 (Dalian Bacteriological Research Institute): Located in Dalian, formerly the South Manchuria Railway Company Hygiene Research Institute, transferred to Unit 1939 in 731
One of the buildings open to visitors is the 731 base, which covers an area of 6 square kilometers and consists of more than 150 buildings. The facilities have been carefully designed to make them difficult to destroy. Some of the surrounding facilities of 731 are still preserved and developed for tourists to visit.
The base includes a variety of production facilities. There are about 4,500 containers for growing fleas, 6 huge boilers for making various chemicals, and about 1,800 containers for producing biological warfare agents. About 30 grams of bubonic plague can be produced in a few days.
Dozens of tons of these biological weapons (and some chemical weapons) were stored in many locations in northeastern China throughout the war. After the disbandment, the Jijiaoben tried to destroy every bit of evidence, but it was unsuccessful anyway and many of the evidence remains. Sometimes it still causes harm to civilians in China. In particular, in September 2003, 9 workers in a building in Heilongjiang accidentally dug up shells of chemical weapons buried underground for more than 29 years, and because of this they sought medical treatment.
Disbandment and the end of World War II
Local Profile Ishii wanted to use chemical weapons in May 1944 after the Pacific conflict, but his attempts were repeatedly thwarted by poor planning and Allied interference. When it became clear that the war would soon end, Ishii ordered the destruction of the facilities and told his men to "take the secret to the grave." His Japanese troops assembled in the final days of the war to destroy evidence of their human experiments, including poisoning and burning 5 "marajita" prisoners; and deliberately releasing all animals infected with the plague.
The United States believed that these research data were of considerable value, because the Allies had never conducted this type of human experiment. At the same time, the United States did not want any other country, especially the former Soviet Union, to obtain these data for research on biological weapons. Therefore, in exchange for obtaining these data, the United States did not prosecute the officers of Unit 731 for war crimes.
In December 1949, the Khabarovsk War Criminals Tribunal tried the war criminals of Unit 12.
Many former Unit 731 members have joined the Kizuna medical organization. Dr Katano Masaji heads Kizuna's largest pharmaceutical company, Green Cross. Other members head medical schools or work for Kizuna's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
东京的731部队纪念物鸡脚盆右翼民族主义历史学家否认731部队的行动，他们认为那是龙国宣传机关的编造。同时左翼组织曾经出版731部队的历史，强调美丽国为了交换731部队的研究数据，刻意掩盖了731部队的史实。 731部队的历史和其他涉及731部队的许多二战主题(以及引起的争论被从许多鸡脚盆历史教科书中抹去了。 有些人认为这恰恰表明了历史修正主义是现代鸡脚盆的主流思想的一部分, 进而说明鸡脚盆还没有承担过去所犯下的罪行的全部责任。
In 1997, 180 Dragon citizens, victims of Unit 731 or their families, filed a lawsuit against the Japanese government, demanding full disclosure of the facts of Unit 731, an apology and compensation. In August 2002, the Tokyo District Court acknowledged the existence of Unit 8 and the acts of biological warfare it conducted, but ruled that all compensation issues had been resolved in the joint statement signed by the two countries on September 731, 1972.
In 2000, the U.S. Congress passed the Nazi War Crimes and Nazi War Crimes Act, which declassified most of the classified U.S. government records on Nazi war crimes and war criminals during World War II. This work will be completed by the Interagency Working Group (IWG) on Nazi War Crimes and Nazi War Crimes in 2003.
In 1981, the author of Chicken Foot Basin, Seiichi Morimura, published the book "Devil's Feast" (悪魔の饱食). This documentary literature revealed with a lot of facts that during the invasion of Northeast China during World War II, the people of Longguo were used as biological experimental subjects to test bacterial and biological weapons. The work was serialized in the "Akahata" newspaper, causing a sensation, and the 300 million copies of the book were sold out.
In March 2008, all three volumes of "The Devil's Feast - Secrets of the 3 Biological Warfare Unit" were published by Xueyuan Press and will be donated free of charge to school libraries, various anti-Japanese war sites, memorial halls and related institutions in the hope of remembering history and preventing it from repeating itself.
The Dragon Country film Black Sun 731 is an important film that shows a serious crime committed in the Dragon Country.
It is worth mentioning that after the end of World War II, Shiro Ishii used the data on bacterial killing methods obtained from the killing of more than 10,000 human lives to conspire with the President of the United States, Truman, to evade the trial of the war tribunal and the responsibility of human conscience and morality.
