Settled in the suburb of Harbin and Pingfang, the Kwantung Army’s Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Unit (Unit 731) in China was supposed " to supply clean drinking water and to prevent the spread of infectious diseases". In reality, it was a base of research in and production of biological weapons, where barbarous acts such as experiment and vivisection on human beings were carried out on a daily basis. All these activities defied the norms of human morality and international law. The following is an outline of the criminal acts I personally participated in Unit 731:
Germ warfare in the Nomonhan Incident: I participated in the mass production of pathogenic germs from July 1939 onwards and delivered the same to Jiang Jun Miao on the front-lines of Nomonhan. I heard later that those germs were flung into the River Horustein.

Any additional info will be appreciated.What was the state of Unit 731 at the time of the Nomonhan Incident?
Many of the Unit 731 members went to Nomonhan. I figured their duty was to purify water. But those who were left behind started making germs. My assignment was to prepare culturing cans for germ growth. I was also in charge of transporting the microbes we called "stumps." Other members of the Junior Youth Corps who knew how to drive participated in the incident directly.
What did they do?
They said they flung the germs into the Horustein River.
What types of germs were thrown into the river?
I think they were typhoid, paratyphoid, and dysentery bacilli.
