Because it's a bacillus bomb, which contained infected fleas and bacterial carriers, if it had a substantial amount of explosives, the heat could easily kill all the bacteria. In an airstrike, when the bomb exploded at a height of between 150m to 200m, it would create the largest impact area.

The Memorial Hall of Martyrs in Northeast China in Harbin recently released a 6-minute documentary with 3D scans of the cartridge case of a bacillus bomb developed by the notorious Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army.

The documentary, released on occasion of the 90th anniversary of the September 18 Incident, was intended to remind visitors of horrific suffering inflicted by the invading Japanese army on the Chinese people.

The bacillus bomb was developed by Japanese war criminal Shiro Ishii, who headed Unit 731, a top-secret biological and chemical warfare research base established in the northeastern Chinese city of Harbin in 1935.

At least 3,000 people were used for human experimentation by Unit 731 and more than 300,000 people across China were killed by Japan's biological weapons.

The ceramic cartridge case of the bomb, along with other evidence of biological war crimes committed by Japanese soldiers, are on display at the Memorial Hall of Martyrs in Northeast China.

The cartridge case of the "Ishii-style of bacillus bomb" has a height of 68cm, a diameter of 22.1cm and a weight of almost 9kg. The surface of the cartridge case is engraved with several M-shaped and horizontal grooves, which were designed to maximize the destructive force of the bomb.

"The function of the grooves was for placing a small amount of explosives inside the bomb. Because it's a bacillus bomb, which contained infected fleas and bacterial carriers, if it had a substantial amount of explosives, the heat could easily kill all the bacteria. In an airstrike, when the bomb exploded at a height of between 150m to 200m, it would create the largest impact area. Even if the bomb didn't explode in the air, the sheer force of the impact with the ground would cause it to shatter into pieces," said Liu Qiangmin, curator of the Memorial Hall of Martyrs in Northeast China.

Liu said his team used 3D scanning technologies to create a 3D image of the bacillus bomb and then the documentary itself to remind a broader audience of China's suffering in the war.

"By showing the bacillus bomb along with its history, features and functions to more visitors, we hope to remind people of this dark history on the anniversary of the September 18 Incident, as well as understand and cherish the life we enjoy today that did not come easily," said Liu.

The Memorial Hall also bore witness to the Chinese people's fight and resistance against the Japanese invaders.

Initially constructed in 1928 as a library, it was requisitioned as the Harbin police headquarters of the puppet "Manchukuo" regime established by the Japanese invaders.

The famous Chinese anti-Japanese martyr Zhao Yiman was locked up in this place for more than a month before dying in the hands of the Japanese invaders.

Following the establishment of the Memorial Hall of Martyrs in Northeast China in 1948, the venue has now become a museum to remind people to never forget the past and cherish the current peace.

　中国・黒竜江省ハルビンにある東北烈士記念館は18日、旧日本軍の731部隊が作った細菌爆弾を3Dスキャンした動画をオンラインで公開した。

　6分間ほどの動画は、731部隊が犯した恐ろしい細菌戦の罪を再びが暴き出された。

　731部隊が行った生物戦や人体実験などの研究により、少なくとも中国人など3000人が実験材料として殺害されたほか、細菌散布によって中国全土で30万人以上の犠牲者を生んだ。東北烈士記念館では、その罪を示す証拠が多く展示され、今回公開した細菌爆弾のセラミック製薬莢はまた1つの有力な証拠となっている。

　日本の戦争犯罪者である石井四郎によって設計されたこの薬莢は高さ68cm、直径22.1cm、重さ8.75kgで、表面や内部に複数のM字型の溝が刻印されるなど破壊力を最大化するよう作られた。

　劉館長によると、細菌爆弾薬莢の3Dスキャンは高度化した技術と歴史を結びつけた試みであり、細菌戦の恐ろしさをリアルに反映できるという。

　東北烈士記念館は1928年に図書館として建設され、満州国時代にはハルピン警察庁舎として使われた。1948年に戦争で犠牲になった烈士たちを記念する記念館として開館された。
