"Report! Telegram from the division's headquarters!" Another soldier shouted loudly.
"Read it!" Zhu Ziming frowned. Zhou Weiguo sent two telegrams at once. Indeed, it was a bit strange.
"Order: Cadres of all brigades and regiments and above are holding a meeting in Laiyang. They must rush back to Laiyang within 4 hours."
"Brother, what's going on?" Zhao Shoutian asked.
"I don't know, please tell me everything you are doing. Especially, the telegram from before must be arranged and implemented! Otherwise, more and more brothers will fall ill!" Zhu Ziming said, "Hurry back after the arrangements are made!
"
…
January 1, 1939, 2 pm, Laiyang, headquarters.
On the first day of 1939, Zhou Weiguo was not in a good mood. First, he knew that so many people were sick and it was the devil's work. Second, if the devil had this trick, he would definitely have the next one. Therefore, the devil was probably already there.
He was accumulating strength to wait until his independent division was at its weakest to deliver a fatal blow. At the same time, he also expected that the Japanese would carry out such germ warfare without the help of spies. Obviously, it would not work. However, now,
The leader of Japan's largest spy organization is Takeshita Jun. This made him feel even worse. He originally thought that he had changed enough things, Xiao Ya was not dead, Qingfeng Village was still there, and Takeshita Jun had returned to China, but
Nowadays, Xiao Ya has been in danger many times, Qingfeng Village, his independent division, is also in danger, and Takeshita Jun has stood on the soil of China again. It seems that nothing he has done has made any big changes.
"Weiguo, everyone is here." Fang Shengli said to Zhou Weiguo.
"Well," Zhou Weiguo nodded, looked at everyone, and said, "First of all, let me report the number of sick soldiers in each brigade and regiment."
Everyone looked at each other and their expressions were not very good.
At this time, Gan Xinda stood up and said, "The reporter's seat, the first brigade, the first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment, a total of 1,546 people are infected, and the number is still increasing. There are also many local people who are infected, and there are no statistics.
." Since the reorganization of the army, the three regiments of the first brigade have been mainly stationed near Lacey.
"Where are the other troops?" Zhou Weiguo did not answer. The situation was much more serious than he thought.
"A total of more than 700 people in the Second Brigade are infected, and the number is also increasing. Local people in Haiyang are also infected, and there were more than 1,000 people yesterday." Zhu Ziming stood up and said.
"Where's the third brigade?"
"A total of more than 800 people in the third brigade have been infected, and the number of infections is increasing. Moreover, local people have already died." Xie Weiwei stood up and replied.
"It should only have been a day since the disease broke out, right?" Zhou Weiguo wondered, "How could there be death so quickly?"
"An elderly man died." Xie Weiwei replied, "The people are very panicked. Many people think it is a plague and are preparing to flee."
When Xie Weiwei sat down, Fang Shengli stood up and said, "As of 1 p.m. on January 1, there have been more than 1,000 patients with the same symptoms in Laiyang County Hospital, and the division's directly affiliated guard regiment, the first regiment, the second regiment,
There are also soldiers in the Third Regiment and the Third Regiment who have fallen ill, totaling more than 400 people, and the number is on the rise."
After Fang Shengli finished speaking, everyone looked serious, the matter was serious.
Zhou Weiguo made a rough estimate and found that more than 3,000 soldiers of the Independent Division alone were infected with the disease, not to mention the common people who had a larger base than this.
"Let me start by saying that this incident was not an accident." Zhou Weiguo said coldly, "It was the Japanese who put cholera bacteria into our water sources. In other words, the one who attacked our soldiers and people this time was
One of the most terrible plagues, cholera."
"What?" Zhu Ziming stood up, "Brother, is it really cholera?"
Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "The "Book of Han·Yan Zhu Zhuan" said: "During the summer heat, cholera disease spreads across Europe and the country follows each other. If we don't send troops to take over, there will be many dead and wounded." The army.
Most of the plagues encountered during the march were cholera. Generally, cholera breaks out more often when the weather is hot. But this time, the Japanese completely cultivated the cholera germs and then threw them into our water sources in large quantities.
Although the weather was cold, there were still people or soldiers who drank unboiled water for convenience. Then, it became human-to-human infection."
"You bastard little devil." Li Wu said angrily, "This is just to poison all the people in Laiyang area!"
"Now, the most important thing is to prevent the re-infection of the disease!" Zhou Weiguo said, "From now on, absolute military control will be implemented in Laiyang, Laixi, and Haiyang areas."
"Order that all sick people be sent to the open space outside Laiyang County, and military tents will be used to build shelters for the patients. Centralized treatment and centralized management. Fang Shengli will be fully responsible. At this time, Li Weimin assisted and led the directly affiliated regiment.
The second regiment established order."
"Yes!" Fang Shengli, Li Weimin and the leaders of several regiments stood up, saluted and accepted the order.
"Order, the third regiment directly under the division and the guard regiment are responsible for explaining to the people that they must drink boiled water, and people who have been in contact with patients must wash their hands with soap. If anyone in the family is sick, they should be sent to Laiyang County in time.
.Huzi, you are responsible for this matter."
"Yes!" Xu Hu stood up, and then two more people stood up, saluted and accepted the order.
"Order, the First Brigade, the Second Brigade, and the Third Brigade to send all sick soldiers to Laiyang. At the same time, disinfection is carried out in the camp. Do not drink raw water, do not eat cold food, and wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet.
You must not be negligent. Soldiers who have been in contact with patients should be temporarily isolated to prevent secondary infection."
"yes!"
"Don't worry, there is medicine to treat cholera." Zhou Weiguo smiled reluctantly. You must know that at this time, the medicine in Laiyang Hospital was completely insufficient. A man-made plague caused all supplies in Laiyang to begin to be used.
Get nervous.
"Can it really be cured?" Zhu Ziming asked.
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "I have given the relevant medicines to the doctors at the hospital." Zhou Weiguo has exchanged all the war points for medicines, because these people are all Chinese. He has no reason to stay.
Collect war points and then do nothing to save them.
"That's good." Zhu Ziming breathed a sigh of relief.
"Next, what we have to discuss is how to break the situation when the devils are surrounded on all sides." Zhou Weiguo said, "The devils have prepared a plague for us, and they will definitely have their back-ups. When we are most vulnerable, they will
Give us a fatal blow."
Zhou Weiguo's words silenced everyone, because it was indeed not good news.
"If they dare to come and die, we will let them die!" Zhang Ruikuan stood up and said loudly.
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Indeed, after knowing the purpose of the Japs, they are here to risk their lives." Then Zhou Weiguo put away his smile and said seriously, "This battle is not only about the fate of our independent division, but also about Laiyang.
The fate of nearly 2 million people in the area. If we lose, then this place will become a hell on earth. If we win, we can block the devils at the door, treat the people well, and survive this cholera."
