"Bacterial warfare?" Sugiyama Yuan frowned, "You have to know that if this is not controlled well, it will cause a large-scale plague."
"Your Excellency, Commander, the frontline and China forces are now evenly matched. Anti-war voices have begun to emerge in the country, and conflicts are gradually emerging. Without a great victory, it will be difficult for us to suppress domestic voices." Yamashita Fengfumi analyzed, "Furthermore, Commander
Your Excellency, I believe that the anti-imperial armed threat in the Laiyang area is much greater than that of other Chinese forces."
"How to say?"
"On the China front, our 100,000 warriors can fight against China's 300,000 to 400,000 troops, or even more." Yamashita Fengwen said, "However, in Laiyang, our 100,000 warriors can only fight against 4 independent divisions.
"Hi." Yamashita Fengwen said, "The most important thing is that the troops of the Independent Division are very young. Including the commander of the Independent Division, Zhou Weiguo, I heard that he is only in his 20s. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Independent Division are in their 20s.
Around the age of 18. Such a force, once allowed to grow, will be a great threat to our Empire of Japan."
"Yoshi. Is there any other reason?"
"Moreover, the Laiyang area is not large. It is also a good testing location for Unit 731."
"Yes." Sugiyama Yuan nodded with satisfaction. He was already tempted. They dispatched the navy, land and air force, but they did not push forward like they did on other battlefields in China. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties. This made him, the commander of the North China Front, look very confused.
It's a shame. He originally faced a simple and honest person, and sitting in this position, there were already people gossiping. If there were no results, he would be pulled down soon. "Call to Unit 731 and ask them to submit a battle plan."
"Hi!"
…
On December 16, 1938, a group of people were discussing something in a large building complex in the Pingfang District of Harbin, which was now within the territory of Manchukuo.
"Now, the North China Command orders us to hand over the operational plan for special operations in the Laiyang area." A Japanese colonel held a telegram and said to the people in front of him.
"Has the headquarters finally remembered us?" A Japanese lieutenant colonel tilted his head, "So, what is the situation like?"
"The troops in the Laiyang area of Shandong Province that the empire had originally occupied were suddenly and silently wiped out by a Chinese army, which was concealed for two months. Then, the empire mobilized 100,000 warriors to besiege the Chinese army.
The three armies of the sea, army and air force worked together to fight, but instead of defeating the enemy, they suffered heavy losses. The 11th Division originally stationed in Manchukuo suffered over 10,000 casualties."
"Nani? The 11th Division is the permanent Class A division of the empire and has strong combat power. How could this happen?"
"But this is a fact." The Japanese colonel knocked on the table, "So, what do you think of the current command order?"
"Your Excellency, Minister, I think that the command is serious this time, and it is different from the previous inquiry." A major said, "This time, the command has directly ordered us to submit a battle plan."
"Yes." Shiro Ishii nodded, "I know. So, Kikuchi-kun, how do you think the battle plan should be submitted? What kind of special raw materials should be used?" Shiro Ishii is a Japanese Army Lieutenant General, a doctor of medicine, and the director of the 731 unit.
The founder of Unit 731 is famous for conducting many human experiments and developing many bacterial weapons. After Japan's defeat, he lived until he died of illness in Tokyo at the age of 67. He was known as the anti-human demon scientist. He created 'Ishii
Ace weapons': rats with plague bacteria and flea bombs with plague bacteria, strongly supported the launch of the war of aggression against China, and then became a force that Japan could rely on. At this time, Shiro Ishii was only a Japanese colonel.
.
"What do you think, Kitano-kun?" Kikuchi Qi didn't answer, but asked another Japanese army major.
"Searching for Disney, what do Kitano-kun think?" Shiro Ishii asked.
Kitano Masaji said, "The minister's decision is enough." Kitano Masaji, in history, only became the minister of Unit 731 in 1942. He returned to China after the war and lived until 1986 when he was 91 years old. He was a man who made living things
The experimental war maniac. But here, perhaps because of the emergence of Zhou Weiguo, something has changed, which has enhanced Japan's strength in disguise.
Shiro Ishii nodded with a smile, and then said, "Others, do you have any suggestions?"
"Your Excellency, Minister," a Japanese major stood up and said, "it is better to use Yersinia pestis. The information on Yersinia pestis in my base is not complete yet. If Yersinia pestis is released, we can also obtain more research information for us."
"What Mr. Takahashi said makes sense." Shiro Ishii nodded. Now, his research on plague has also reached a bottleneck and requires a large amount of experimental data to support his argument.
"Your Excellency, Minister, I believe that cholera bacteria can be used for experiments. In history, once cholera breaks out, a large number of people die." Another Japanese major stood up and said.
"Yes." Ishii Shiro also nodded.
"Your Excellency, Minister, I think it is possible to use typhoid bacteria as an offensive strain." A Japanese lieutenant also stood up and suggested.
"Yoshi, it's actually okay. It's a good choice." Ishii Shiro also agreed.
Kitano Masaji was slightly helpless. He suddenly felt that being a leader was actually a relatively difficult thing to do, especially since the people sitting here could almost all be said to be top students.
"Kikuchi-dono, which one do you think is better?" Shiro Ishii asked Kikuchi.
"Actually, any one of them can be used. With the level of China's troops, there is no way to defend." Kikuchi replied.
"In that case, let's use Yersinia pestis, which can just make a contribution to our experiment." Shiro Ishii agreed.
"Hi!"
"Then, next, Lieutenant Keiichi Noguchi, your department will step up efforts to produce a sufficient amount of plague bacteria." Ishii Shiro said, "How many stocks of plague bacteria are there now?"
"If we want to start a war, the amount is not enough." Noguchi Keiichi replied.
"Wakarima Sita, how much time do you need?"
"At least another week, I think it will be enough for the Laiyang area."
"Um."
"Your Excellency Minister, the plague spreads extremely fast. Please make sure that the warriors of the empire take precautions." Kitano Masaji frowned. He did not expect that Ishii Shiro would actually choose the plague. In this era, the plague is still unstoppable.
solution.
"On this point, please rest assured, Mr. Kitano." Shiro Ishii smiled, "After all, I am also a soldier of the empire."
…
Zhou Weiguo naturally didn't know that in order to deal with him, the Japanese would even resort to the plague, a deadly weapon.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo was teasing the two little guys and enjoying the feeling of being a father.
