Newly released wartime records from the Hailar branch of Japan's notorious Unit 731 reveal how the Japanese military disguised biological warfare personnel as conventional infantry troops to conceal secret operations, including human experimentation. 
The Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army released on Wednesday a 185-page archive of "personal background declaration" from the Hailar branch of Unit 731, also known as "Manchuria Unit 543". The documents show that the Japanese military concealed its biological warfare operations under the guise of conventional infantry units and shed new light on the Soviet Union's continued efforts after World War II to investigate and prosecute Japanese biological warfare crimes. 
Unit 731 was a top-secret biological and chemical warfare research base established as the nerve center for Japanese biological warfare in China and Southeast Asia during WWII. At least 3,000 people were used in human experiments conducted by Unit 731, and more than 300,000 people in China were killed by Japan's biological weapons, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
The Japanese Kwantung Army established five branches of Unit 731 in Northeast China - in Hailar, Sunwu, Mudanjiang, Linkou and Dalian. Located in the northeastern part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, near China's borders with Mongolia and the Soviet Union, the Hailar branch served as a frontline base of the Japanese imperialist army for potential biological warfare operations against the Soviet Union.
The newly released 185-page archive contains key information on 156 members of the Hailar branch of Unit 731, including their names, military ranks, dates of enlistment, duties, transfers and postwar whereabouts. Researchers said the documents constitute first-hand official records for studying the branch's personnel structure and operations. 
Jin Shicheng, a researcher at the Exhibition Hall, said the study produced two major findings. First, the documents reveal that the Japanese military recruited personnel under the cover of ordinary infantry units to conceal biological warfare activities. Some personnel, for example, were recruited under the names of conventional units such as Manchuria Unit 97, Unit 177 and Unit 201. They were then sent to Unit 731 headquarters for three months of training before being assigned to the Hailar branch. The deceptive recruitment system was intended to conceal the crimes committed by Unit 731, including human experimentation.
Moreover, the archive provides evidence of continued postwar investigations into Japanese biological warfare crimes. Of the 156 personnel listed in the documents, 145 were captured by Soviet forces after the war and detained in the Soviet Union. Four were tried in Khabarovsk between April and September 1950. The researcher said the records show that Soviet investigations and judicial efforts concerning Japanese biological warfare crimes continued after the trial held in 1949.

A photo published by Xinhua showed a record on medic Tanizaki Hitoshi in the "personal background declaration" records of Unit 731's Hailar branch. Tanizaki, originally named Ozaki Hitoshi, is documented in historical records that, together with his oral testimony, form a chain of evidence further substantiating the crimes committed by Unit 731.
Experts said the new revelation of the Hailar branch deepens research into Unit 731 and, together with previously obtained oral testimony from former members, form a broader chain of evidence. The official records exposed the efforts by the Japanese military to disguise their crimes against humanity and provided further evidence of the state-organized system behind Japan's biological warfare program, while adding important material to research on Unit 731 and postwar prosecutions.

。目前，已有56人获有罪判决。　　■案发　　一个不起眼的小案 挖出数百伪造证章源头　　在办理李某伪造国家机关印章案时，西城区人民检察院检察官陈亮并没有想到，从这样一件看似不起眼的“小案”，竟挖出了伪造证件印章500余个的制假源头以及涉案上百人的系列串案。　　去年2月，李某打算开网约车，需要向平台提供一份无犯罪记录证明。由于之前曾因盗窃受过行政处罚，他担心开不出无犯罪记录证明。另外，开证明还需要跑一趟户籍地派出所，李某嫌麻烦，干脆加了一个假证贩子的微信号，花200元刻了一枚户籍地派出所的假公章，盖在自己打印的无犯罪记录证明上。然而，还没等他如愿成为网约车司机，便被公安机关查获，帮他伪造印章的假证贩子姜某也一同落网。

二 | 　　警方提请西城检察院对此案进行捕前介入时，办案组发现，帮助李某伪造印章的姜某有多个微信账号，均用于推广销售其伪造的政府机关证件印章、身份证件、公司印章等，制假后再通过快递邮寄给买假人。

三 | 　　经过公安部门的配合，西城检察院调取了姜某手机和电脑中存储的联系人、聊天记录、转账记录和快递发货信息等共计600G的庞大电子数据，再通过数据碰撞比对，筛查出了上游制假源头及下游买假嫌疑人多达165人。　　■审理　　造假目的五花八门 都没拿伪造证章当回事　　名下拥有多家公司的王某是165人中的一个。近些年，他与生意伙伴开发了多个酒店项目。

四 | 去年，王某打算再开发一个新项目，找合伙人投资。

五 | 可是，对方已经给王某投了上千万元，迟迟未见收益，难免对继续投资心存顾虑。　　为了彰显自己的经济实力，王某联系假证贩子姜某，一口气伪造了北京市西城区24套行政公寓的房产证。为了把“戏”做足，王某还伪造了开发公寓的房地产公司的印章，加盖在假房屋买卖合同上。凭借这些虚假房本，王某顺利获得了投资。

六 | 　　通过对案件的审查，办案组发现，买假人伪造假章假证的目的五花八门：有像王某这样通过自我“包装”，获得投资和交易机会的；有制作假收入证明等申请贷款的；还有人伪造证章的目的仅仅就是为图个方便……　　韩某开了一家小公司。一次，处理对公账户问题时，他需要向银行提交业务合同以证明公司经营情况。为图省事，韩某就联系姜某伪造了其他公司的印章，盖在伪造的合同上竟然蒙混过关。　　这一下让韩某尝到了甜头。他发现，做一个假章只花几十元，还是光敏的，平时连印油都不需要，随用随盖，实在是太方便了。想到自己公司的印章取用那么麻烦，韩某又找姜某伪造了一个自己公司的印章，以备不时之需。　　在讯问中，办案组明显感到，这些买假人法律意识淡薄，一些人压根儿就没把伪造证件印章当回事。　　■说法　　伪造公文证件印章 破坏社会秩序涉嫌犯罪　　“就买了几个假章，又没干什么伤天害理的事，也没造成什么严重后果，怎么就犯罪了呢？”在审查中，经常有涉案人员发出这样的质疑。　　对此，检察官表示，伪造证件印章，不但影响到证件印章的权威，还破坏了社会管理秩序，可能触犯刑法第二百八十条，涉嫌犯罪。　　根据我国刑法的规定，伪造国家机关公文、证件、印章，伪造公司、企业、事业单位、人民团体的印章，以及伪造居民身份证、护照、社会保障卡、驾驶证等，均可能判处三年以下有期徒刑、拘役、管制或者剥夺政治权利，并处罚金。伪造国家机关公文、证件、印章和身份证件等情节严重的，处三年以上十年以下有期徒刑，并处罚金。　　以伪造24个房产证和房地产公司印章的王某来说，房产证属于国家机关证件，他伪造国家机关证件和公司印章的行为涉嫌犯罪，应当追究其刑事责任。法院以伪造国家机关证件罪、伪造公司印章罪数罪并罚，判处王某有期徒刑二年，并处罚金人民币二万五千元。　　经过办案组逐案梳理审查，西城区人民法院最终以伪造国家机关公文、证件、印章罪，伪造公司、事业单位印章罪，伪造身份证件罪，伪造武装部队印章罪数罪并罚，判处姜某有期徒刑九年，并处罚金九万元。其余买假犯罪嫌疑人中，检察机关对其中56人提起公诉，截至目前，55人已获法院有罪判决。公安机关对姜某下游其他犯罪嫌疑人的追查仍在继续。
