The Eighth War Zone fought well, and suddenly the clowns in Nanjing lost their voices, and those wavering guys were also a lot more honest, the previous bad situation of demotion is gone, but there are many guys on the list of traitors who quietly sent people to spread the word to the government, hoping to change their ways and return to the right!

Moreover, during this period of time, the Eighth Theater of Operations continuously sold about 8 divisions of weapons and equipment to the Central Army of the Nationalist Government, and now the Japanese armament division in the hands of Lao Jiang has reached 15, and the German armament division has also reached 12, and these 27 divisions are all composed of rout troops who have withdrawn to the rear, and the veterans have many good weapons, so the combat effectiveness is very strong.

With the backing of nearly 400,000 troops from these 27 infantry divisions, the backbone of Lao Chiang, who was about to be discounted by the Japanese army, stood up again. When the Japanese army in North China was ready to go north to reinforce the Japanese army in North China, Lao Chiang immediately ordered Xue Yue to reorganize his army and prepare to regain Wuhan at any time.

After all, the losses of the Nationalist Government in the two battles of Wuhan were huge, and the soldiers alone were as high as more than 600,000 people, of which 150,000 were killed in direct battle, and the material consumption was incalculable.

Such a huge loss could not be sustained even by a powerful empire, let alone a declining government in China. If there had been foreign aid in the past, now except for the Soviet Union, I am afraid that no country is willing to support the government of China, and the intelligence agents of the empire lurking in the Soviet Union have not been aware of the information that the Soviet government has sent support materials to the government of China during this time, so the top level of the Japanese army in central China unanimously judged that the Central Army of the Nationalist Government was bluffing. Don't bother at all.

But soon the Japanese army was not happy, and the information transmitted back from Chongqing became more and more detailed, and of course it became worse and worse, and the government of China did not know where to transfer 10 well-equipped recruit divisions at once, plus the troops of the former Fifth and Ninth Theaters, and now the army assembled in western Hubei has reached more than 300,000 people, and this number is still increasing.

Now the Japanese army is in a hurry, 300,000 people is not a small number, and their army in Hubei is only 100,000 people. The Japanese army in Central China hurriedly mobilized two divisions and two mixed brigades from Jiangxi and Nanjing to Wuhan. At the same time, the lieutenant general Gangcun, who had made great achievements in war, was transferred to Wuhan to take up the town.

At a time when the situation in Central China is becoming more and more tense. The situation in North China took a sharp turn, just when Chen Feng's troops captured Yangquan, a large-scale acute infectious disease suddenly broke out in the periphery of Guisui, and the most important thing is that the people infected with this infectious disease this time are somewhat special. It turned out to be a Jew who had just settled outside the city of Guisui.

During this time, although the 8th Theater of Operations and the Japanese army have been fighting. But the migration of the Jews continued uninterrupted. During this time, a total of 1.2 million Jews arrived in Saibei Province, of which 200,000 were sent to Wuhai and 200,000 to Ordos. 300,000 people were sent to Bayannur, another 200,000 were sent to Baotou, and nearly 300,000 people are now gathered in Guisui.

These people have just come from Europe, because the Eighth War Zone is busy fighting, only a small number of people are managing them, and all the trains in the Eighth War Zone are busy delivering supplies and ammunition to the front line during this time, so they can't spare vehicles to send these Jews at all, so these people stayed at the temporary gathering point outside Guisui City, and this stay is a month.

Since these people had not yet been assigned work, the ration of food for these Jews in the Eighth War Zone was limited, according to the difference between adults and minors, each adult was provided with 1 pound of food a day, and minors were provided with 8 taels. This standard can only make these people starve to death for the time being, and they will not have enough to eat at all. So every day the Jewish men had to go inside and outside the city in search of food, dig up the roots of some plants, or catch some small animals to feed their hunger.

The first to become ill was a family of three, and the virus quickly spread in Jewish settlements. According to the doctor's questioning, the family of three who first became ill became ill after eating a small bag of picked potatoes.

Hu Jishi and others took the bag of potatoes that had not been eaten back for inspection, and found that the small bag of potatoes had been manipulated and injected, and the virus agent was injected into it, and people would be infected with this terrible virus after eating it.

In less than two days, more than 30,000 people were infected in Jewish settlements outside the city of Guisui, and the infections usually led to vomiting and severe diarrhea, which began with sudden diarrhea and then vomited. Generally, there is no obvious abdominal pain, and there is no tenesmus. Several times a day stool is even difficult to count, the amount is large, at first it is yellow watery, and soon it turns to rice swill, a small number of patients have bloody watery stools or tarry stools, diarrhea is followed by projectile and borderline vomiting, initially stomach contents, followed by watery, rice swill.

Severe diarrhoea causes a large loss of fluids and electrolytes, resulting in circulatory collapse, manifested by a drop in blood pressure, a weak pulse, a significant increase in hemoglobin and plasma gravity, and a decrease in urine output or even anuria. This is followed by generalized hypotonia, loss of tendon reflexes, gum tympanum, tachycardia, and arrhythmia. In severe cases, the eye sockets are deep, the voice is hoarse, the skin is dry and wrinkled, the elasticity is lost, the abdomen is sunken and scaph-shaped, the lips and tongue are dry, the thirst is thirsty, the limbs are cold, the body temperature often drops below normal, the muscles cramp or convulsions, and finally the painful death.

The virus spreads quickly, but people do not die immediately after the onset of the disease, at least no one has died in the past three days, but the severe diarrhea and vomiting make the vast majority of patients seriously prostrate, and if they cannot find suitable drug treatment, they will die within a few days.

The most important thing is that after the discovery of this virus in Guisui, a similar situation occurred in Baotou, and before Hu Jishi and others went to investigate, a large-scale infection broke out in Baotou.

At the same time as the outbreak of the virus, there was a rumor quietly circulating among the people of Guisui that these blonde and blue-eyed foreign devils were unclean people, and accepting these people would bring great disasters to Saibei Province. At the same time, there was a private rumor among the Jews that in order to prevent the spread of the virus, the Chinese general was going to abandon them and try to kill them all and then burn them.

This rumor spread so well that it soon caused panic among the Jews, and some of the sick even planned to run away, much to the great headache of the old man who stayed behind.

After receiving Hua Rong's report, Chen Feng was furious, hurriedly handed over the frontline affairs to Yang Yi, and urgently returned to Guisui on the afternoon of the 17th. Not long after Chen Feng returned to Guisui, nearly 100,000 Japanese troops landed at the port of Tianjin, and then rushed to Beiping for reinforcements.

After returning to Guisui, Chen Feng found that the matter was more serious than he thought, although there had been no deaths, but nearly 100,000 people had been infected in the entire Saibei Province. The most important thing is that Hu Jishi and others have not yet found the way of infection of this virus, let alone found a drug that can treat it, although penicillin can inhibit this virus to a certain extent, but the effect is not very obvious at that time, and there is no cure.

After inspecting the Jewish ghetto in Guisui, Chen Feng collected some virus samples for research, combined with the data collected by Hu Jishi and others, Chen Feng found that the patient's clinical symptoms were somewhat similar to a disease that was almost extinct, and combined with Chen Feng's understanding of the virus "Huliela", Chen Feng finally came to a conclusion that the Japanese army used to deal with the Eighth War Zone was a virus that could quickly infect infected people with cholera.

Although this disease was almost extinct in later generations, it was one of the top ten infectious diseases in the world before it was extinct. Large-scale cholera has occurred on continents from Asia to Europe to the United States and Africa, and even the demise of some powerful civilizations has been linked to cholera.

Chen Feng has always known that the Japanese army will use such vicious things against the Chinese, and they have often done so in history, the largest of which is the "Luxi Plan". In the autumn of 1943, the Japanese army launched a cholera bacteriological warfare codenamed "The 12th Army of the North China Front Army in the 18th Autumn Luxi Operation" in Luxi and southern Hebei, sowing cholera germs on the Weihe River and land, and breaking the Weihe embankment, thus involving 18 counties in the Weihe River basin, including Linqing, Qiuxian, Guantao, Guanxian, Tangyi, Xinxian, Chaocheng, Fanxian, Guancheng, Puxian, Shouzhang, Yanggu, Liaocheng, Chiping, Boping, Qingping, Xiajin, Gaotang and other counties in southern Hebei, and Weixian, Qinghe, Wucheng, Gucheng, Dexian, Jingxian and other counties in southern Hebei.

The sudden outbreak of the plague is epidemic cholera, which is highly infectious and has a very high mortality rate. The plague ravaged the great plains of northwestern Shandong, killing dozens, hundreds, and thousands, and from late August to late October, more than 200,000 peaceful Chinese residents died in 18 counties in northwestern Shandong alone.

In fact, from the beginning, the Chinese did not think that this was a natural disaster, they always believed that it was a shocking conspiracy deliberately brewed by the Japanese army, and it was a "man-made disaster" deliberately created by the Japanese army. However, because the use of biological weapons violated public international law and humanitarianism, the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare was carried out in a state of top secret, and after the battle, it was kept silent, with the result that the truth of this tragic incident was not known to the world, and it was not until 20 years after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that the Japanese bacteriological war criminals, inspired by the long-term education and policy of the Chinese and Soviet governments, took the initiative to confess this crime, and people learned that cholera in the northwest of Ludaolu was a particularly serious tragedy caused by the Japanese bacteriological troops.

It is precisely because he knows this matter that Chen Feng has never dared to relax his vigilance, how harmful the plague is Chen Feng knows better than anyone else, it is a super virus that can easily exterminate a civilization, and he can't be sloppy at all, but it is a pity that he still didn't prevent it after taking precautions, and he was stunned to let the little devil give him a dull stick under his nose.
