从美国馆藏日本细菌战档案看1644细菌战部队

Study on Unit 1644 from Archives Concerning Japanese Bacteriological Warfare Preserved in the United States National Archives

1944年11—12月,驻日盟军联合作战参谋部问讯了一名曾经任职于南京荣字第1644部队九江支队的日本战俘。该战俘根据他在1644部队总部所看到的统计数据和报告以及平日工作的观察,提供了一份1644部队的组织结构图,并交代了该部队如何配合731部队对华实施细菌战的犯罪事实。此份美国解密的日本细菌战档案,揭露了1644部队的整体规模、机构建制、人员构成和配合731部队对华实施细菌战等历史事实,弥补了有关该部队从事细菌战问题研究资料的不足,具有重大学术研究价值和利用价值。

Between November and December in 1944,Joint Warfare Operations Staff of the Allies in Japan interrogated a Japanese prisoner of war,who had worked in Jiujiang Detachment of Unit 1644 in Nanjing.Based on the statistics and reports he had seen whilst assigned to the headquarters and his observation at daily work,the prisoner of war presented the organization chart of Unit 1644 and testified its crimes of cooperating with Unit 731 to launch bacteriological warfare against China.The archives concerning Japanese bacteriological warfare declassified by the United States reveal some historical facts of Unit 1644,such as its total scale,organization,staff and its cooperation with Unit 731 to launch bacteriological warfare against China,which makes up for the lack of information related to Unit 1644's engagement in bacteriological warfare and has great academic research value and utilization value.
