In 1933, the Kanda Army Division of Infectious Disease...
the 'Troop of Saiholi'...
set up the 'Research-unit of Germs' in Harbin...
and was coded as Troop 731.
70 doctors and scientists...
were ordered by the Japanese Government...
to experiment with living people from China, Korea and Mongolia.
They were called 'Maruta'...
and these poor people had to undergo all kind of deadly games.
They used mice on them to see the effect of mice biting people...
or to see the effect of killing with all kinds of germs.
Or they studied the symptoms of syphilis on women.
Anyway, experimenting on living people and killing them...
is cruel and cold-blooded.
In 1945 the Allied declared war to Japan.
The atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Russians marching to Manchuria...
forced Troop 731 to disintegrate and retreat to Japan.
1945, August 10th
In the morning of the 9th of August...
foreign armies declared war to our Japanese Empire.
Our armies in Peony Lake have resisted bravely.
Because of the swift progress of Russian armies from Mongolia...
they may be able to reach New Capital before us.
General Saiholi, your troop must be through New Capital before this.
Yes, general. You needn't worry.
We'll pass New Capital before Russia gets there.
Unless our enemies blow up the train, we will drive on as scheduled.
If we can't pass through, we will fight.
If needed, we will commit suicide to keep our secret.
Right, make sure everybody understands...
that they must be alert to stop penetration of our armies.
This is a critical moment and from information we have in hand...
we know the German Research Center has been taken over by Russians.
We have been exchanging information with them.
The progress of our research unit is expedient.
I understand, General.
If the Russians get hold of this information...
they will surely try to tell the world about it.
The responsibility of Troop 731 is to change location. You, Troop 100...
We will release
