侵华日军1942年绥西鼠疫细菌战

Japanese Biologial Warfare in Suixi in 1942

据历史资料记载,由于日军秘密实施细菌战,1942年绥西及周边十余县旗发生鼠疫流行,绥远省政府虽实行强力的"封锁""隔离""烧埋"等防疫措施,三月内控制了这场疠疫,但仍死亡军民949人以上。有观点认为,绥西历史上曾多次发生鼠疫,处于鄂尔多斯鼠疫自然疫源地范围,因此这次鼠疫可能是自然发生。但从种种日军细菌战历史资料考察,这次鼠疫实难排除日军人为之嫌疑。日军人为造成绥西肺鼠疫的途径可能是:通过飞机洒播"毛毛雨"一样的鼠疫细菌雾,使人吸入感染;散布带鼠疫细菌尘埃的香烟,使人吸入感染;"投放大量病鼠"等。

According to historical records,a plague broke out in Suixi and neighouring counties in 1942 due to the secret biological warfare of the Japanese Army.The plague was under control thanks to the powerful prevention measures by Suiyuan Government such as blockage,isolation,burning and bury.But there were still 948 deaths of soldiers and civilians.Some people argue that the plague was a natural occurence because there had broken out plague for several times before in Suixi.However,the plague was very probably caused by the Japanese Army according to the historical records of Japanese Biological Warfare.
