Sun Dianying was introduced by Dai Li, met Chairman Chiang in Wuhan in the summer of 1938, and was given the name of the Fifth Army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, Sun Dianying's department was ordered to go to southern Hebei and northern Henan, and finally carried out guerrilla warfare in the area of Linxian, but it was very difficult to survive.

Therefore, Sun Dianying used Pang Bingxun's protection to avoid direct conflict with the Kuomintang descendants; Take advantage of the relationship between Deputy Army Commander Han Linfu and the Eighth Route Army to solve some clothing and ammunition from the Eighth Route Army. Sun led his New Fifth Army to fight the Japanese army many times in Hebei and northern Henan. But at the same time, he had dealings with the Japanese. Near the military headquarters of his New Fifth Army, he opened three guest houses to entertain Kuomintang generals, the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese, which can be described as "three holes of cunning rabbits".

Dai Li knew about these situations, but he just turned a blind eye. Moreover, he and Sun Dianying did not have a too close relationship, and the introduction was only for the sake of the treasures that Sun Dianying bribed. Chairman Jiang wanted to change the generals of the New Fifth Army, and Dai Li also felt that Yang Tianfeng was more valuable. Therefore, he didn't want to help Sun Dianying say anything.

"The New Fifth Army is only more than 10,000 people, and it is indeed a waste to carry the number of the army." Dai Li echoed and said: "Students, you can cancel the number and reduce it to a division." For example, the New Seventh Army, which was originally scheduled for Zhang Lanfeng, and then incorporated this division into it, as long as the treatment is guaranteed, the officers and men of the New Fifth Army may not have so much resistance. As for Sun Dianying and other high-ranking generals, if they were summoned to Chongqing to study in the training class of the general school, or transferred to other troops, they could only obey orders. ”

Chairman Jiang bowed slightly, "In this way, the resistance of Yang Tianfeng to rectify and integrate the New Fifth Army has been alleviated to the greatest extent, and you have considered it very thoughtfully." This, you should pay special attention to Yang Tianfeng's every move, but try not to let him find out. This Sun Dianying, if he is willing to succumb to Yang Tianfeng and give him a deputy commander, it is a way to kill two birds with one stone. If he doesn't want to, forget it. ”

"Yes, the principal's instructions, and the students take them to heart." Seeing that Chairman Jiang had no more orders, Dai Li got Chairman Chiang's gesture and hurriedly retreated.

In addition to giving Yang Tianfeng the number of the New Seventh Army and reducing the New Fifth Army to a division, he also decided to give Sun Lianzhong the title of deputy commander of the theater as a sign of comfort and praise.

What made him feel that the situation of China's independent war of resistance would change was the outbreak of the European war and the relaxation of US loans to China.

In Chiang's view, Germany provoked a war in Europe and became enemies with Britain and France, which was the beginning of a change in the international situation. Since Japan's war of aggression against China was, on the whole, consistent with the foreign expansion policies of Germany and Italy, it was bound to harm the interests of the United States, Britain, and other countries. Therefore, he believes that China's situation of fighting alone will definitely turn around.

The war between the East and the West was finally linked, and China's War of Resistance was also somewhat related to the world situation. But Chiang knew in his heart that it would be very difficult for the Japanese to defeat China, and it would be impossible for the Chinese to push the Japanese army out of China alone, at least in the short term.

Therefore, he believes that the solution of China's problems needs to be solved by the world's problems; The solution of the China issue will certainly receive the support and assistance of the world's democratic countries.

At a time when Britain and the United States had not clearly changed their attitudes, and even maintained a policy of appeasement toward Japan, speculation about Yang Tianfeng undoubtedly aroused Chairman Chiang's hopes.

Clearly for fear of offending the Japanese, he had to intervene secretly. These selfish countries, Chairman Chiang pursed his lips with some disdain.

Although during the Songhu War of Resistance, Chiang hoped that the Nine-Power Pact countries would intervene to protect Shanghai and end the war. In the end, however, nothing was left with an empty declaration, and no measures were taken to impose sanctions on Japan.

However, Chairman Chiang did not think that his hopes were unrealistic, but that the Nine-Power Pact countries only cared about their own interests, feared of offending Japan, and did not see through Japan's ambitions. Therefore, he has always been full of expectations for Western countries to aid China and resist Japan, and seized every opportunity to sound the alarm bell for them and be wary of Japan.

Perhaps, he should write a letter to Yang Tianfeng to commend and reward his military exploits, so as to show closeness and reuse, and by the way, explore the wind. Chairman Chiang suddenly had a somewhat strange idea. Without him, he wanted to make his hopes bigger and more certain.

……………

It was still gray outside the window, but Yang Tianfeng knew that it was early in the morning and he had to leave the nostalgic bed. And today, you can get home!

Wash and eat, and then Yang Tianfeng continued to set off under the protection of the guard battalion. At noon, I came to Mamu Township in Xiayi County, which was more than 40 miles away from Yongcheng.

was eating lunch when someone came outside, who was sent by Xiao Si. After telling Yang Tianfeng about the situation, Yang Tianfeng's face couldn't help but become gloomy. He didn't elaborate, just urged his subordinates to eat quickly, and continued to hurry after eating.

Zhao Yurou is sick, and it has been about ten days. At first, it was used as a cold cure, but it had no effect. It was not until she was found that her liver and spleen were enlarged and her skin darkened that she was finally diagnosed with kala-azar disease.

Kala-azar disease, also known as visceral leishmaniasis, is a chronic endemic disease caused by Leishmania donovani (kala-azar pathozoa). Before the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, it was prevalent in the area north of the Yangtze River in China, second only to tuberculosis and malaria. According to statistics, there were 100,000 patients with kala-azar, 600,000 malaria patients, and 1.7 million tuberculosis patients in Hebei Province alone.

Because there was no specific drug for the treatment of kala-azar at that time, although the incubation and onset of kala-azar were long, the mortality rate was also very high, reaching 890%.

The previous task assigned by Yang Tianfeng to the laboratory was to manufacture chloroquine, a special drug for malaria, and isoniazid, a special drug for tuberculosis, which was somewhat negligent for kala-azar disease. After all, he is a human being, not a god, and it is unrealistic to completely become a person of that era and fully understand the social, humanistic and other characteristics of that era.

Riding on a horse, Yang Tianfeng's mind was tumbling rapidly, looking for a cure and medicine for black fever. At that time, even internationally (there were epidemics or sporadic cases of kala-azar in 51 countries around the world), the treatment of kala-azar was not successful. Although antimony preparations were used as early as 1913 to treat kala-azar, the trivalent antimony compounds, potassium antimony tartrate, and the pentavalent organoantimony compound antimony, preceding, were highly toxic, with mortality rates of more than 95%.

After 1922, Germany manufactured the antimony agent "New Antimony Wave Cream", which had a good curative effect, but the price was too high for ordinary Chinese people to afford, and only a small number of Western hospitals had this kind of drug.

"Phew!" Yang Tianfeng suddenly reined in the horse's head, turned over and dismounted, asked for a pen and paper, hurriedly wrote a note, used a seal, called a few guards, asked them to go to the arsenal to get what they needed, and then rushed to the coal chemical plant.

After not paying attention to the work of the arsenal and the coal chemical plant laboratory for such a long time, Yang Tianfeng didn't know if the things he needed had been shipped or manufactured.

With apprehension, Yang Tianfeng got on the horse again, did not stay, and went straight to the coal chemical plant.
