Fengzhen Reading Force Headquarters.

Zhang Mingyu strode into the headquarters surrounded by Tie Niu and several guards, Zhang Mingyu said loudly to Fang Jun, the captain of the communication team, who was already a major: "Immediately send a telegram to Zhang Biao and Lai San, and let them lead the troops to retreat immediately, and those who violate the order will be shot on the spot!" ”

"Yes!" Although Fang Jun didn't know why he gave such an order, he knew that the Reading Li Army had just broken through Datong, and the whole army was jubilant at this time, but he did not hesitate to carry out the order.

At this time, Liu Cheng, the chief of staff of the headquarters, asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?" Mingyu, why did you suddenly order a retreat? ”

"We must withdraw from Datong as soon as possible, because it is a conspiracy of devils, Chief of Staff, you should know about plague and cholera, right?" Zhang Mingyu said.

"Plague and cholera are two extremely powerful plagues, and the rate of infection is extremely fast, once the infected master is not alive for seven days, the whole body will rot and die." Speaking of this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but ask in surprise: "You mean that there is plague and cholera in Datong City?" ”

Zhang Mingyu nodded and said: "Although for the time being, I am not sure whether there are plague germs in Datong City, but we must evacuate quickly, I have always vaguely felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart, I am sure that the little devil may have been implementing this plan, if the troops are infected with plague germs, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

???????????????????

Datong.

The soldiers of the first and third divisions have all controlled the city of Datong, and completely annihilated the defending army, at this time the entire city has been completely recovered by the Reading Army, the streets are full of Reading Army soldiers patrolling back and forth, out of the armored division stationed outside the city, the two infantry divisions almost all entered the city.

All the expatriates and women in kimonos were all arrested and put in prison, while all the soldiers of the Yue Army were killed by the Reading Army, and leaving no prisoners was the rule and discipline of the Reading Army.

The original army headquarters has now been replaced by the common division headquarters of the first and third divisions of the Reading Army, and because the two divisions attacked Datong City almost at the same time, Lai San and Zhang Biao were arguing at the headquarters at this time.

I only heard the loud voice of Lai San of the command headquarters: "Lao Zhang, you kid said with your conscience, didn't our third division enter the city first!" ”

"! Obviously, our first division came in first, and your third division picked up so many weapons and equipment in vain, not to mention, you are still bargaining with me here! Zhang Biao said with his hands on his waist.

"Oh, Lao Zhang! I'm really sorry for you, just rely on the "kung fu" of the three-legged cat of your first division to attack the city first? Equip Lao Tzu and take it, that's what the three divisions deserve! Lai San said with a dead face.

Just when the two were chattering and arguing, a communications soldier walked in quickly, stood up and said loudly: "The two divisions, the military seats, have called, ordering the first and third divisions to withdraw from Datong immediately, and those who violate the order will be shot on the spot!" ”

"What?" Zhang Biao and Lai San asked at the same time: "Withdraw from Datong?" ”

"Yes! That's what the military said in the message," said the messenger.

Zhang Biao took the telegram from the communication soldier's hand, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the telegram to Lai San, and then said with a serious expression: "Third child, let's withdraw it!" ”

"Hey! I really don't understand what the division seat thinks, it was just laid, and we were asked to withdraw. Lai San sighed and said.

Before the two of them could give the order to retreat, a company commander quickly ran in and said loudly: "The division seat is not good!" Just now, a group of devil planes flew over and dropped a lot of bombs! ”

"What are the casualties?" Zhang Biao asked.

"There were no casualties, those bombs fell and did not explode, but shattered, just now my squad leader with a few soldiers found a bomb, and found that the bomb thrown by the devil this time was actually made of ceramic tiles, and there were a lot of scratches in those broken tiles.

Those jumping to touch the body will soon feel itchy all over the body, and now the squad leader and several soldiers have turned blue and purple all over their bodies, and their skin is about to be scratched, which is terrifying! ”

Zhang Biao changed color when he heard this: "Immediately report the situation to the military seat, and the whole army will immediately withdraw from Datong, quickly!" Violators will be shot on the spot! Fast! ”

Soon the entire command was moving, and a dozen heralds quickly ran out and passed on the order.

In an instant, the entire Datong City was boiling again, and all the battalions, companies, and platoons all received orders and began to withdraw outside the city in a tense and orderly manner.

At this time, a staff officer ran to Zhang Biao, who was preparing to retreat, with a telegram in his hand, and said: "Division, military station sent a telegram saying that the army dropped plague germs, and ordered the whole division to be immediately isolated from the infected, and the troops drove out of Datong City and stationed on the spot ten miles outside Datong City. ”

"What? Plague? Zhang Biao was suddenly shocked, of course he knew the horror of the plague, once this virus, which was more terrible than poisonous gas, spread, not to mention the Reading Army, I am afraid that the entire Datong and even the hundreds of thousands of people in Suiyuan will not be spared.

Fengzhen Reading Force Headquarters.

Zhang Mingyu said to Liu Cheng: "Chief of Staff, you immediately return to Ordos, inform Du Yue and Yang Liansheng and ask them to make every effort to purchase plague prevention vaccines, gas masks and a full set of protective medical facilities from the Soviet Union and Germany, and also invite some Soviet-German experts, whether private experts or state-owned, to invite them to China at all costs."

In addition, you have to go to the United States in person and tell Charles Thornton to allocate 50 million dollars from the company's account to buy a large number of sanitary defense clothing and disinfection supplies in the United States. I have to rush to Datong in person, and I must not let the plague bacteria and viruses spread, otherwise hundreds of thousands of people in Suiyuan will be killed. ”

"Mingyu, there may be a plague in Datong now, it is a little dangerous for you to go in person, I think it is better for me to go!" Chief of Staff Liu Cheng said worriedly.

"No, I have to go, otherwise Zhang Biao and Lai San will be powerless to stop the spread of the plague! I personally went and knew what to do! That's it, you hurry up! Zhang Mingyu said resolutely.

"Alright! Be careful! Liu Cheng knew that he couldn't persuade Zhang Mingyu, so he instructed.

Zhang Mingyu nodded, and then said to Tie Niu: "Let's go!" After speaking, he took the lead and strode towards the outside of the headquarters.

Iron Bull roared loudly: "The guard battalion is leaving!" After saying that, he took the lead and got into the car. Eight hundred soldiers of the guard battalion got into the truck together.

Zhang Mingyu got into the jeep, and as the driver started the car, the entire convoy quickly drove out of Fengzhen and galloped towards Datong.

About half an hour later, Zhang Mingyu rushed to Datong with the guard battalion, and Lai San and Zhang Biao welcomed them in.

As he walked, Zhang Mingyu asked, "How many of our brothers have been infected?" Is the statistics out? ”

Zhang Biao was the first to reply: "One squad of soldiers in our division has been infected, and their platoon has all been isolated. Whether the other fighters have been in contact with the virus is still being counted, and the results will be available by the afternoon at the latest. ”

Lai San also replied: "Our division has already had three infantry platoons that have been isolated, and whether the rest of the people have contact or not will have to wait for gradual investigation!" I knew. ”

"From now on, once a soldier is found to be infected, he will be immediately isolated, and Datong City will be blocked, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave without permission! In addition, no one is allowed to drink raw water, and all water must be boiled before drinking! Zhang Mingyu ordered sharply.

"Yes!" Zhang Biao and others agreed in unison.

Soon, Zhang Mingyu walked into the headquarters of the First Division in the crowd.

Zhang Biao said: "Junzao, if we don't let the people out of the city, it will inevitably cause panic among the people, and most of the people in the city are healthy and normal, so if they stay in the city, they will all be infected sooner or later!" That's more than 100,000 lives! ”

"There's no way around that, once an infected person goes out of the city and brings the virus to other places, then it's not 100,000 people, it may be 1 million, it may be 10 million people, it may be 10 million people will be infected. So no one is allowed to go out of the city until the defense vaccine and Soviet-German experts arrive! Zhang Mingyu said with a heavy face.

"What about the second and fourth divisions?" Zhang Biao asked.

"To Ling Tianbao. Ma Liqun sent a telegram, the second and fourth divisions temporarily retreated to Ningwu, and the cavalry regiment retreated to Xingxian to fight guerrillas, waiting for orders! Zhang Mingyu ordered.

Peking Airport.

Shiro Ishii stepped off the plane, and just now he personally took more than 20 planes to drop a large number of new bacteriological bombs he brought from Harbin, that is, the "Ishii bomb"!

Ishihara, who had been waiting for a long time, strode up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Ishii-kun, everything is going well, right?" Good work. ”

Ishii said with confidence on his face: "Ishihara-kun, please rest assured, within a week, all the reading forces in China will be dead, and Ishihara-kun will wait for good news!" ”

"I want the West!" Ishihara said with a smile: "If you can eliminate the Shina Reading Army, Ishii-kun will make a lot of contributions, and remove a big henchman for the empire!" ”

The North China Army Headquarters in Beiping City.

Ishihara Wan'er said to the temple shroud: "Your Excellency Commander, Ishii-kun has successfully implemented the Rattlesnake plan, the main force of the Reading Army will lose its combat effectiveness in less than three days, we can prepare for a counteroffensive, as long as we eliminate the remnants of the Reading Army in Ningwu and other places, we can reoccupy Suiyuan and the eastern part of Inner Mongolia." ”

"To the West! Ishihara-kun, you planned this plan single-handedly, and you are solely responsible for the counteroffensive! Terauchi Shouichi: "Next week, I will return to China to report on my work, and I hope that my last time in China will be able to completely eradicate the great problem of reading the army!" ”

"Hayi! Rest assured, general! Mission completion guaranteed! Ishihara bowed his head suddenly.

The leader of Yucheng is in retreat.

Dai Li was reporting the latest information about the Reading Force to President Jiang, only to hear Dai Li's respectful words: "According to the information sent back by our people, the Reading Force broke through Datong in the early morning today, but I don't know what the reason is, Zhang Mingyu suddenly ordered the whole army to withdraw from Datong. ”

"Why did he withdraw from Datong? What the hell are you doing? Find out now! Principal Jiang said with a tired expression.

At this time, the war of resistance has entered the stage of stalemate, and President Jiang has vaguely felt that the biggest threat to him is no longer Yue himself, but the Eighth Route Army in the vast occupied area and the Reading Force in Suiyuan.
