Chapter 424: If I meet Dr. Yano, don’t be polite, just shoot him immediately!
Since Mitsui Ippei set his sights on the Niujiagou market, Dr. Yano took action again. Soon, merchants and civilians who came to trade were infected with the plague, and the disease spread rapidly. Chu Yunfei really didn't pay attention to this at first. When he found out, hundreds of people had been infected with the plague, and the entire Niujiagou market was immediately under martial law.
"Brother Ligong, send a telegram to Li Yunlong immediately to request assistance from the Independent Regiment. We must control the plague no matter what and absolutely cannot allow it to develop further, otherwise the entire northwest of Shanxi will be in great trouble."
"From today on, smoking will be banned in Niujiagou Market. All patients with fever will not be allowed to leave. At the same time, a notice will be issued to all patients with fever in other places to rush to Niujiagou Market immediately and gather them for treatment. Only in this way can the plague be prevented from spreading further."
"We must not make any chaos at this time. Set up our machine guns and put up the barbed wire. Except for the daily material transactions, no one is allowed to leave the camp without orders, otherwise we will be subject to military law!"
"This plague came in a very strange way. I think it is probably a conspiracy by the Japanese. The most important thing at this moment is to control the rumors and treat the patients. We must not let the situation develop at this time, otherwise it may really get out of control."
"We must not stop the material trade with the Independent Regiment. Now the daily material trade volume between the two sides has reached 108 tons. This is very important to both of us. We must not interrupt the transaction between the two sides because of other things at this time. That will only play into the hands of the devils!"
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong had the same opinion. The last plague had already caused considerable trouble to the 358th Regiment. This time the plague broke out in Niujiagou Market, which made Niujiagou Market notorious in a short period of time. The local people and merchants did not dare to come here to trade, and the market could no longer continue to operate. This caused the 358th Regiment to lose a great contribution, and the loss of interests also made Chief of Staff Fang Ligong very angry.
"Captain Chu, I will arrange this right away. I will ensure that there will be no trouble at Niujiagou Market within two days. As long as we survive the early stages of the plague, and with the help of the Independent Regiment, our Niujiagou Market will be open again in half a month at most."
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong hurriedly left the regiment headquarters and issued orders according to Chu Yunfei's deployment. Zhang Dabiao, who learned the news, acted very quickly and immediately cooperated with the 358th Regiment to blockade the Niujiagou market to control the spread of the plague.
When the plague broke out in Niujiagou Market, the base of the Independent Regiment was not peaceful either. Japanese spies who had sneaked into the base took advantage of the dead of night to throw secret weapons into multiple water sources in an attempt to create a plague in the base.
Fortunately, Lin Zhenhua was well prepared for this. He not only sent doctors and medical workers down, but also organized people to boil hot water to ensure the supply of hot water for more than 80 people in the base.
This meant that the Japanese plan failed. Only a few civilians in the base were infected with the plague. After timely treatment with medicine, the plague did not spread.
"College student, this is a glass bottle we found by the river. Fortunately, we in the water-collecting team strictly followed your instructions, wearing full-body chemical protection suits and gas masks, and strictly disinfected every time we collected water. Otherwise, the plague might have spread throughout the base."
"We have confirmed that the plague was brought in by the Japanese. We didn't find any suspicious people during the day. The Japanese must have sneaked in at night and done this!" Zhao Gang said with fear on his face.
Lin Zhenhua picked up the bottle on the table, looked carefully at the skull logo on it, and his face became extremely ugly. He did not expect that his previous guess was true. The Japanese would actually use such a powerful weapon.
"The damned Japs, there is definitely something wrong with their brains. Don't they understand that if they injure 1000 enemies, they will injure 800 of their own? Using this kind of weapon is a tactic of mutual destruction. The most hateful thing is that the Japs use such a shady trick to target ordinary people. They are worse than animals!"
Lin Zhenhua was so angry this time that he started to curse. He had never thought that the Japanese would use biological weapons. This was beyond the bottom line. After all, poison gas was only used on the battlefield and was rarely used on civilians. But this kind of biological weapon was indiscriminate, regardless of whether you were a soldier or a civilian.
Li Yunlong was also very annoyed. He slammed the table and cursed: "The damn Japanese devils are really endless. The last time we attacked Ping'an County, we didn't catch Dr. Yano and didn't find these bottles and jars. It was such a pity. After catching Japanese devils like these, we must never accept their surrender. We must chop off their heads to commemorate the dead people!"
This time, even Zhao Gang did not jump out to oppose it. Kong Jie and Ding Wei even expressed their support. We must not be lenient towards these demons. We must send them to hell to prevent them from harming the people in the country.
"Old Li, the Japanese used plague weapons to deal with us, which shows how determined they are to stop our development. They are really willing to do so at all costs..."
Before Ding Wei could finish his words, Xiao Zhongyuan rushed in with a telegram and reported: "College student, I just received an urgent telegram from the 358th Regiment for help. There are more than 800 patients infected with the plague in Niujiagou, and they have been admitted by the 358th Regiment. They request us to immediately send doctors and provide a large amount of medicine to help the 358th Regiment solve the plague. Chu Yunfei will be very grateful!"
Lin Zhenhua took the telegram from Xiao Zhongyuan, read it carefully, and ordered in front of everyone: "Since I am fully responsible for the plague, I will not refuse. Now is the time for me to perform my duties. Immediately dispatch 20 doctors and 30 nurses to Niujiagou to help the 358th Regiment treat patients infected with the plague."
"Use our medicine reserves immediately and take out 300 boxes of medicine to urgently support the 358th Regiment. We will settle the bill after we save lives. Now everything is based on saving lives. Take one box of each of our two magical drugs. They can be used to save lives at critical moments. We must act quickly and deliver the personnel and medicines before o'clock this afternoon!"
"Also, send a telegram to Zhang Dabiao immediately and ask him to step up alert. Troops must boil drinking water before drinking it. When taking water, they must follow the code of conduct I set. No one is allowed to act perfunctorily, otherwise they will be subject to military law!"
After talking about the 358th Regiment, Lin Zhenhua continued, "Now let's talk about the base's response. The devils will never give up poisoning us. From today on, we must strengthen our vigilance against the base. All troops must immediately enter the defense node and activate new passwords every two hours."
"Our base's communication network has been built, and the radio station has been assigned to the battalion. Three high-powered communication command vehicles are arranged in a triangle formation to ensure that the base's communication network is unobstructed. As long as any disturbance is found, it must be reported to the regiment headquarters immediately. Those who dare to conceal it will be directly punished by military law!"
"At this time, we cannot compromise at all. Only in this way can we stop the large-scale spread of the plague and nip it in the bud. We should continue the propaganda to the people as before, and arrange people to supervise this matter. We must ensure that no one, whether adults or children or the elderly, can drink raw water. If there is not enough coal, we will take it from our stockpile."
"Old Li, you can't sit idle for the next few days. I need you to take the three battalions to take the initiative and cause some trouble for the Japanese. I will dispatch a fighter squadron to escort you. We can't just let go passively. We have to find something for the Japanese to do!"
"In addition, we must find a way to contact Xu Zhongyi and find out what happened in Ping'an County. Why has Xu Zhongyi not responded to our contact for several days?"
For some reason, Lin Zhenhua felt a little uneasy. He felt that Xu Zhongyi might have been captured by the Japanese, but his reason told him that this was impossible.
Li Yunlong stayed in the base every day, and felt a little rusty. When he heard Lin Zhenhua arranged for him to take the initiative to attack the devils at this time, his face was full of excitement and he laughed heartily: "College student, I have to say that you have a long-term vision. We can't just defend all the time. We really need to take the initiative to attack and cause some trouble for the devils."
"There is a large group of Japanese soldiers stationed in Ping'an County now. They are no match for our three battalions. I plan to take a walk around Ping'an County to scare the Japanese soldiers. Only in this way will they really behave themselves! Before, Xu Zhongyi said that the Japanese chief of staff went to Ping'an County, but I didn't quite believe it. This time I can go and take a look. Maybe I can really catch a big fish!"
Ding Wei said with some envy: "Li Yunlong has taken all the good things. I, Ding Wei, also want to lead people to fight the Japanese. College student, please give me a chance!"
Before Kong Jie could speak, Lin Zhenhua said, "Li Yunlong is using chicken feathers as a token of authority this time. You must not learn from him. I am fine managing the military factory on weekdays, but if I were to command operations, my level would not be as good as you three. I am not being modest or deliberately praising you, but it is indeed the case."
"Since you all want to go out and fight, I'll give you a suggestion. Pull out all the new recruits you are training and use the puppet army to train our soldiers. If it doesn't work once, train twice. If it doesn't work twice, train three times. We must train the new recruits before the Japanese raid!"
But Lin Zhenhua knew that Kong Jie and Ding Wei were the kind of people who would take advantage of the situation, so he could only give them another tip, asking them to take chicken feathers as a token of authority, go out for a stroll, and show their strength to the Japanese, thereby causing chaos within the Japanese and puppet troops, and achieving the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting!
