Inside the underground bunker is a labyrinth with interconnected tunnels and chambers, 33 meters long and just over 20 meters wide, forming a U-shaped structure. It is located in Anda County, Heilo Province of China.ngjiang, which shares a border with Russia. More than 75 years ago, the site was one of the laboratories of the feared Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese Army, a biological weapons research and development brigade that conducted gruesome human experiments during World War II in northeast China.
Chinese archaeologists have been conducting geophysical surveys there since 2019. His investigations have been published in the May issue of the archeological magazine Northern Cultural Relics, the most reputable of the Asian giant in this field. “The discovery of the underground laboratory could lead to new evidence of war crimes,” reads the report signed by a team from the Heilongjiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.
The researchers are convinced that, inside the laboratory, human subjects were brought in for observation and dissection after being infected with deadly diseases.

The Japanese Bioweapon Inoculated ‘Pandemic’ That Killed 12,000 Chinese in China
“Historical records show that the experiments at the Anda site were conducted in underground bunkers designed to contain and control the spread of infectious agentss. Several declassified documents later revealed that the Japanese shared the data with US authorities in exchange for immunity for war crimes,” the report continued. “All of that information was later transferred to the US military’s research facility in Fort Detrick, Maryland, where it was used to develop biological weapons during the Cold War.”
At Anda, Unit 731 erected a test field surrounded by a barbed wire fence. On the surface there was an airstrip, barracks and various warehouses. But the experiments were carried out underground for two reasons: to protect themselves from air raids and so that the infectious diseases inoculated to the subjects did not leave there. For this reason, in addition to the laboratory, the Chinese researchers point out that inside the bunker there were also dungeons where the prisoners were crowded.
Up to 12,000 dead
In August 1945, just before the Soviet Army advanced into North China, the Japanese tried to destroy all the facilities to erase any evidence. Starting with the complex built in Anda, but also another one that was 20 kilometers from the provincial capital, Harbin, which the Chinese authorities later turned into a kind of museum of horrors so that the Chinese would not forget the atrocities committed. in the past by its Asian neighbors.
It is estimated that there could have been up to 12,000 deaths during the experiments. Most were peasants from the north of the country who had been captured during the Japanese invasion. No survivors were ever found. But the story could be reconstructed thanks to numerous photographs and documentary evidence, many of which are on display in the Harbin museum, divided into six 10,000-square-meter exhibition halls.
Also because of the testimonies of relatives of the victims and defecting scientists who were stationed in Unit 731, led by a general named Shiro Ishii, a doctor who considered the Chinese biologically inferior and who directly supervised the tests with live subjects to develop the plague. bubonic, anthrax, cholera and typhoid fever.
to the inmates they injected them with the most lethal pathogens with the intention of releasing them later by other population centers that the Japanese wanted to invade. To breed new strains, they used the blood of those who became sickest to transfuse into other captives and, along with the additional injection of the virus, were able to develop deadlier strains.
In addition to these injections, many men infected with syphilis were forced at gunpoint to rape other men and women pto spread the disease. Captives of childbearing age were constantly raped until they became pregnant. Then, they would be exposed to chemical weapons, traumatic injuries or shrapnel wounds, and then they would be cut open and study the effects of all this on the fetuses.
The Government of Japan, albeit reluctantly, finally recognized in 1998, by order of its Supreme Court, the existence of this criminal unit of its imperial forces. “After Japan’s surrender, the United States granted covert immunity to the leaders of Unit 731 and denied knowledge of their gruesome experiments on prisoners of war and civilians, including men, women, children, and even babies,” the published research said. in the magazine Northern Cultural Relics.
Chinese archaeologists say the next step is to delve into the bunker so they can study the structures from within and trace more details about how Unit 731’s death factory worked.
