侵华日军第100部队人员规模考析

An Analysis of the Personnel Scale of the Unit 100 of Japanese Army Invading China

侵华日军第100部队自1936年8月成立,部队编制人数为24人,经过短短9年发展,快速增长到949人。人数快速增长的原因,与部队职能逐渐转向准备和实施细菌战、部队本部机构不断扩充和分支机构不断设立等有直接关系。部队人数的快速增长,并非只是人员数量的简单叠加,部队人员专业技能、研究方向围绕准备和实施细菌战这一核心职能而发生的全面转向,形成了以研制细菌战剂、检验细菌效能、细菌战野外试验为主干的专业人员队伍,为侵华日军第100部队准备和实施细菌战打下了牢固的人员基础。

The unit 100 of Japanese Army Invading China was established in August 1936. The number of troops is 24. After nine years of development, it has grown rapidly to 949. The reasons for the rapid growth of the number of people are directly related to the gradual shift of the functions of the army to preparation and implementation of bacterial warfare, the continuous expansion of the headquarters and the continuous establishment of branches. The rapid growth of the number of troops is not just a simple superposition of the number of personnel. The professional skills and research direction of the army personnel have changed around the core function of preparing and implementing bacterial warfare, forming a professional team developing bacterium, testing of bacterial efficacy and experiencing bacterium in the field as the main body, which has laid a solid personnel foundation for the preparation and implementation of bacterial warfare for the unit 100 of Japanese Army Invading China.
