The General Affairs Department was initially headed by Lieutenant Colonel Nakadome, and later by Colonel Ota. This department was a comprehensive department of the headquarters of Unit 731 and had great power. It was not only responsible for the financial management, production planning, and personnel allocation of the entire unit, but more importantly, it was directly responsible for liaison with the military police and receiving personnel for bacteriological experiments.
The Training and Education Department was initially headed by Colonel Sonoda and later by Lieutenant Colonel Nishi. This department was responsible for training professionals engaged in bacteriological research, production, and use of bacteriological weapons. According to records, the training of the youth team members alone lasted four sessions.
The Information Supply Department, headed by Major General Otani, is responsible for the supply of various equipment and facilities.
The Medical Department, headed by Colonel Nagayama, is responsible for the prevention of bacterial infections and the treatment of diseases of the chicken-foot basin people.
Parallel to the other departments, there is also an Ishii Special Unit, which is directly managed by Ishii Shiro's family members. Ishii Shiro's second brother, Tsuyoshi, is responsible for the management of the "Special Secret Prison", and Ishii Shiro's third brother, San's, is responsible for the leadership of experimental animal breeding.
Unit 731 is a nickname for the Jijiao Basin Bacteria Unit. Jijiao Basin has seven major bacteria warfare units, namely:
At the Bacteriological Weapons Laboratory of the Army Medical School in Tokyo.
The Kwantung Army's 659th Unit in Harbin, with its headquarters in Pingfang District, Harbin, called the 731st Unit
The 100th Unit of the Kwantung Army in Changchun
The Northern Chinese A-1855 troops in Beijing

The Bozi 8604 troops in Guangzhou
Gangzi 9420 Unit in Singapore
Bacteriological Weapons Laboratory of the Army Medical School
It was established at the Tokyo Army Medical School in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and was known to the outside world as the Epidemic Prevention Research Laboratory.
Kwantung Army Unit 659
The headquarters was located in Pingfang District, Harbin, and was known to the outside world as the Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, and its headquarters was called Unit 731.
Kwantung Army Unit 100
The headquarters was located in Changchun, and was known as the Kwantung Army Animal Epidemic Prevention Department, which consisted of the 2630th Unit, etc. The leaders were Lieutenant General Takahashi Ryuji and Major General Matsu Yujiro.

The headquarters is located in Shenle Office on the south side of the west gate of the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing. It was formerly the Central Epidemic Prevention Office of the Kuomintang. It was known to the outside world as the North China Expeditionary Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, and later as the 151st Military Station Hospital.
In 1855, the commander of the unit was first Kuroe, then Kikuchi Saito. In 1939, Nishimura Eiji took over. It consists of three departments:
The first class was set up at the Peking Union Medical College and was engaged in the research of bacterial (biological warfare) agents.
The second lesson is located on the south side of the west gate of the Temple of Heaven Park and is engaged in bacterial production.
The third section is located west of the Beijing Library next to Beihai Lake and is the Institute of Bacteriological Weapons.
In addition, detachments have been stationed in Jinan, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Qingdao, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Yancheng.
Rongzi 1644 Unit
The headquarters was located in Nanjing, and was known externally as the East China Expeditionary Army's Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department. It had 12 detachments stationed in Shanghai, Nanjing, Yueyang, Jingmen, Yichang and other places.
Wave 8604 Unit
The headquarters was located in Guangzhou and was known externally as the South China Expeditionary Army's Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department.

The Chicken Foot Basin Bacteria Force has five major forces and 63 detachments within the territory of Longguo.
The actions of Unit 731 were just one of many war crimes committed by the Imperial Army during its occupation of Manchuria (from 1931 to the end of World War II in 1945), during which 1500 million Chinese, Koreans, civilians in Southeast Asia, Pacific Islanders, and Allied prisoners of war were killed.
The predecessor of Unit 731 was the Togo Unit established by Shiro Ishii in 1932 in Beiyin River, a suburb of Harbin, northeast China. This unit was the first to conduct human experiments that could not be conducted in China.
In 1932, Shiro Ishii led his troops to build Zhongma City, a prison on the outskirts of Harbin. A prison riot in 1935 forced Ishii to close Zhongma City. Ishii then relocated to Pingfang District, closer to Harbin, to set up a new facility.
The 673rd Unit established a bacterial experimental base in Sunwu County, Heihe, which included 300 buildings such as animal breeding rooms and bacteria-making rooms.
Vivisection - A special project codenamed "Maluda" conducts human experiments: the subjects are captured from the inhabitants of Dragon Country, also known as "wooden" (Wanta)
Grenade testing, using people to test grenades at different distances and positions
Frostbite Experiment: The frostbite experiment data is the data of a field frostbite experiment jointly conducted by the professionals of the North China Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department and the Mongolian Army. The title is "Top Secret: Winter Health Research Results of the Mongolian Army". The data was compiled by the Winter Health Research Group and was formed in March 1941.
This material was found in a well-preserved document in a document room by Kim Sung-min, director of the Institute of Bacteriological and Gas Warfare, during a lecture visit by the Pingfang District Government at the invitation of Mr. Kato Yuzo, president of Yokohama City University. He went to libraries and archives in Kanda, Tokyo and other places many times alone or with friends to check for materials.
