“Economic Effect”: the Important Goal of the Japanese Germ Warfare——Taking Changde Germ Warfare as An Example

侵华日军细菌战的危害是多方面的,其中经济破坏是侵华日军细菌战的重要目标。常德细菌战是日军731部队在中国南方实施的一次非常典型的鼠疫细菌战。鼠疫流行造成常德城乡居民大量死亡,家庭经济、区域经济蒙受重大损失,各级政府及卫生防疫组织被迫投入大量人力、物力、财力。这对于战时经济落后、卫生防疫能力低下、缺乏鼠疫防治经验的中国而言,不啻是一个沉重的经济负担。

The harms of Japanese germ warfare are manifold. The economic damage is a major attempt to Japanese germ warfare. Unit731 Changde germ warfare was a very typical plague germ warfare in southern China. Plague epidemic not only caused a large number of urban and rural residents died in Changde,the family economy and regional economic suffered heavy losses,but also forced the governments at all levels and anti- epidemic organizations put into a lot of manpower and material resources and financial resources. For China,because of the wartime economic backwardness,inferior sanitation and epidemic prevention ability,lacking of experience of prevention and treatment,it was indeed a heavy economic burden.
