Chapter 302 Sanitation and Epidemic Prevention

Under the cover of artillery fire, the German [***] team began to attack the Chinese position, the Germans have long known that this is a defensive area for the Chinese, these Chinese fight tirelessly, and do not want to die, unlike the Europeans, the Chinese will never be prisoners, rather than broken jade, often the wounded Chinese soldiers are the most dangerous, they usually choose to die together, it is this crazy fighting spirit that makes the Germans fearful, but also makes the Entente very happy.

Today's European battlefield is a fight of will and courage, the spirit of the Chinese is also the most suitable for this mode of combat, they can not understand those docile and honest Chinese, why to the battlefield will be so crazy, they only know that there must be enough Chinese soldiers to be able to help them win, so the Entente will not hesitate to exchange tariffs for Chinese troops.

Of course, some people are more worried that once these Chinese [***] people return to China, China's military power will skyrocket, which will threaten the fundamental interests of Britain and France, and the representative of those who hold this view is the British fat man Churchill, but although his view is very correct, but after all, this is to wait until the end of the European war to consider, burn your eyebrows and look at the present.

The Germans gradually approached the Chinese position, to the surprise of these German soldiers, the squadron did not use machine gun fire as crazy as before, but was very quiet, just when the German soldiers were surprised, there were faint bursts of roaring sounds, this is the sound of the motor, the Germans are not unfamiliar.

Soon there were more than a dozen huge black things in front of their eyes, like ancient beasts, rushing towards them step by step, seeing here the Germans knew that there were also tanks in the squadron, just yesterday the Germans had beaten the British tanks into scrap metal, so these Germans were not too afraid, they quickly formed several battle groups, ready to use mortars and grenades against these steel monsters.

Although the Germans showed superb military quality at this time, they did not expect that the tactics of the squadron were completely different from those of the British, the Chinese tanks were accompanied by a large number of soldiers, the tanks were rampage, opening the way for the infantry, and the infantry provided protection for the tanks.

At this time, the Germans discovered that the weapon in the hands of the Chinese was not the usual rifle, but a new type of gun that looked very ugly, but had amazing firepower, which was shorter and more flexible than the rifle, could fire quickly, and the rate of fire was also amazing, just enough to provide protection for the tank, and any German army that dared to attack the Chinese tank would be killed.

The Germans do not know this ugly weapon, the Chinese naturally know very well, this is the new weapon designed by the Sichuan Arsenal, called the Han 1 submachine gun, the inspiration is also provided by Qiao Yu, the imitation of the British Stern submachine gun, of course, at this time the British have not developed this submachine gun, China naturally became original.

The Stern submachine gun may not be the best submachine gun, but it is definitely the most suitable submachine gun for the Chinese, the Stern submachine gun has a simple structure, easy to make, and the cost is low, the British made it only $9, and now China due to lower labor costs, so a submachine gun only costs about seven dollars, which is just suitable for a country with a relatively thin foundation like China.

At the same time, the Stern submachine gun has a good power, today this new submachine gun just opened the meat, the Germans were unlucky, first tried the violent power of the Stern charge, and soon the black pressure dropped a large number of corpses, and the rest of the German soldiers ran back to the trench frantically.

In fact, the Chinese tank has also changed a lot compared to the British tank, the Chinese tank has fewer weapons, the tank is equipped with a 37 mm main gun, and there is a machine gun, and there is nothing else, and the armored car is only equipped with two machine guns.

The British nomad is equipped with a main gun, as well as four machine guns, and five machine guns on the armored car, it seems that the British works are much more powerful than the Chinese ones, in fact, the British tank is a tragic design, after the increase in weapons, the operation is complicated, and the mechanical failures will increase exponentially, and more importantly, after the loading of more weapons, it occupies more weight, making the British tank thinner than the Chinese tank protective armor by one millimeter.

This difference makes the Chinese tank have a lower failure rate and better defense, so the tank charge is more powerful, easily run over the barbed wire, and the trenches across the country quickly approached the German position, in the face of this attack efficiency, the German army had no way to resist at all, and could only choose to abandon the position and retreat in a hurry.

Lu Rongting, Zhang Xiaohuai and others, who commanded the battle, were overjoyed when they heard that the [***] team had broken through the second line of defense of the German army, and they were overjoyed, you must know that now the two sides are like masters competing for internal strength, and the advance is basically calculated in meters, and it is already a great luck to be able to break through a few hundred meters a day, and even sometimes not moving forward, and now the [***] team has broken through more than a thousand meters in one fell swoop with the cooperation of the tank, which is definitely an amazing achievement.

The forward of the Chinese [***] team has approached Balle, an important support point of the second line of defense of the German army, and the German command is also anxious at this time, they did not expect that the same tank, how to get into the hands of the Chinese can burst out with amazing power, in the hands of the British is a chicken rib, but they have no time to think about it, they must quickly move troops and plug the gap, otherwise let the Chinese [***] team break through a little, the entire defense line will collapse, in that case the German army will be completely defeated.

When it came time to fight hard, the Germans were absolutely unambiguous, and they used their tanks to delay China with their lives, while mobilizing artillery, reinforcing trenches, and stopping the attack of the [***] team.

The Germans were frightened, and so were the French at this time, they did not expect that the squadron would break the stalemate on the battlefield, and the commander of the Sixth Army, Fayolle, was very surprised at this time, he keenly found that this was a good opportunity to gain the initiative on the battlefield, so he ordered the French soldiers to launch a counterattack against the Germans regardless of sacrifice.

For a while, the whole front was very lively, both sides tried their best, at this time, the striker of the [***] team had already won Balle, and then charged forward to the third line of defense of the German army, Lu Jianzhang was very excited at this time, those powers were above the top, it turned out to be a bunch of silver-like pewter spearheads, and the war was not as good as the [***] team.

"Commander, I think we'd better take it when we see it!" Zhang Xiaohuai was relatively calm at this time, pointed to the military map and said: "Our army has now formed a salient, and the German firepower will inevitably be concentrated on us, if the German army covers the tanks with artillery regardless of casualties, we will inevitably be damaged, and so far two tanks have been damaged, and four have broken down, and it is not good for us to break through the German defense line!" ”

Zhang Xiaohuai's words reminded Lu Jianzhang, "What the chief of staff said makes sense, our soldiers have also fought for a long time, they are physically and mentally exhausted, and the losses are not small, so let everyone withdraw, let the French attack by themselves if they have the ability!" ”

Lu Jianzhang immediately sent a telegram to Fayol, asking to retreat, Fayol was also surprised, the [***] team is marching forward, why is it suddenly about to retreat, in the telegram Lu Jianzhang greatly exaggerated his own losses, the [***] team has done its best, and the rest can only rely on the French [***] team.

The Germans' third line of defense was only a few hundred meters wide joint, as long as it was breached, it would collapse completely, so the Germans went crazy and mobilized dozens of planes to prepare for air strikes on Chinese tanks, which was also forced to be helpless, but at this time the Chinese tanks suddenly stopped and all retreated.

After a day of fighting, the Chinese [***] team broke through 1.5 kilometers, took Balle, and captured more than 7,000 German troops, which is definitely a huge achievement worth showing off, but the Chinese [***] team did not break through the German defense in one go, leaving an imperfect end to this offensive, but this also allowed the British and French high-level to see the combat effectiveness of the Chinese, and China's status is constantly improving.

The war report from Europe was in Qiao Yu's hands, and Qiao Yu was also sincerely happy to see that the Chinese [***] team could win the foreign land, but Qiao Yu still had too many things to deal with in addition to being happy, so he brought the Minister of Health Wu Liande over.

"Mr. Wu, I wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I haven't poured out my efforts, now the squadron is fighting well in the European battlefield, and we will soon send troops into Europe, but the problem of not adapting to the water and soil must be very serious, I hope your Ministry of Health can come up with a plan, we must avoid non-combat attrition!"

Wu Liande also nodded again and again: "Junzuo's concern is very reasonable, the Ministry of Health is already doing research in this area, formulating several plans, and at the same time, it has also prepared sufficient medicines to escort the soldiers and brothers!" ”

"Mr. Wu, in fact, I have another concern, that is, Europe has now experienced more than two years of war, and it is already a mountain of corpses, which cannot be dealt with in time, all kinds of bacteria are growing wildly, and due to the lack of sufficient food, the people of the warring countries are very poor in physical fitness, and in this case, it is very likely that a large-scale epidemic will break out, and we have to prevent it!"

Wu Liande heard Qiao Yu say this, and immediately admired it greatly, it seems that Qiao Yu really has a good eye and understands health work so well, no wonder he can dominate one side at a young age.

"What Jun Zuo said is very true, the Ministry of Health will immediately send personnel to investigate and formulate a prevention plan!"

"In the outbreak of the epidemic, it is often the people with low physical fitness who are infected first, and the soldiers on the battlefield are greatly tortured physically and mentally, don't look at these people are in the prime of life, but it is very likely that they can't bear it, so I suggest that you can prepare more banlan root, so that the soldiers can take it regularly to improve the body's resistance!"

Qiao Yu said this all to prepare for the upcoming Spanish flu in the future, he didn't want to train military talents with great difficulty, skilled workers were knocked down by the flu, so it is necessary to take preventive measures, in fact, Qiao Yu can invent penicillin in advance, but now the strength of the southwest is still too weak, the invention will also be robbed by the powers, and Qiao Yu also has the heart to let the Europeans die more, it is enough to have Banlangen to escort the Chinese, as long as the Spanish flu breaks out, This ordinary Chinese medicine can definitely be sold for a good price.

"Jun Zuo wise, I will deal with it as soon as possible, in addition I have a proposal, Sichuan's urban population is increasing rapidly, but the urban planning is backward, the urban environment is not good, so it is difficult to ensure that the disease will not be prevalent, so it is necessary to establish a health and epidemic prevention system, as long as there are any signs, timely notification, timely measures, to control the epidemic in the bud!"
