Chapter 203: The Sharp Rise in Mortality (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes, Asking for Various!! ）

Chen Feng, the conspiracy of the Japanese army, guessed the beginning, but did not guess the result. He knew that the plague must have something to do with the Japanese, and he was sure that it was directly related to Shiro Ishii's Unit 731, but he did not expect that the Japanese army would not launch a full-scale attack on Chahar under such circumstances.

After confirming that the Japanese army really would not launch a full-scale attack on Chahar, Chen Feng devoted all his energy to the prevention and control of the plague.

But soon came the disheartening news from Wuhan that Dr. Wu, who had been given great hopes by Hu Jishi, had left China. According to a telegram sent by the Military Command Bureau, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Liande's residence in Shanghai was blown up in the Battle of Songhu. He then left Shanghai and returned to Malaysia via Hong Kong. They are actively contacting Wu Liande and doing their best to find him, and at the same time, the Nationalist Government has also mobilized a large number of medicinal materials from the rear to prepare to send them to Chahar. The Nationalist Government has only one request, that is, it hopes that Chen Feng will do his best to control the epidemic, and must not let the plague spread to Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, let alone spread to the entire rear.

Chen Feng knew very well what the Nationalist Government was worried about, and even if the Nationalist Government did not put forward this request, he would do his best to control it.

On May 26, the Chahar provincial government held a press conference in Xinghe, and at the same time issued a report in clear code, exposing the crime of the Japanese army using chemical weapons to deliberately create a large-scale plague, and at the same time produced some evidence.

After the Nationalist Government vigorously publicized this incident, it caused a huge sensation in the international community. Chemical weapons were invented during World War I. However, in view of the destructive power of chemical weapons and the fact that they are likely to cause uncontrollable consequences, the international community strictly forbade the use of chemical weapons in war, let alone the research of such harmful things. Unexpectedly, the Japanese government not only used it, but also used it on civilians first.

After the incident was exposed, the international community was in an uproar, and governments around the world blamed Japan and put pressure on the Japanese government. The biggest force was the U.S. government, which had access to more detailed information than other countries because of Claire's presence, when photos of Chinese who died of the plague appeared on the front page of the Washington Post. The Americans were completely stunned. They could not imagine what kind of tragic situation would be used to pull corpses in a car, and they were completely shocked by the madness and shamelessness and immorality of the Japanese.

In addition, the Washington Post broke a trade secret at this time, that is, there is now a large amount of steel every day. Tons of steel scrap are shipped from the American continent to Japan. It was then made into a murderous weapon. Then it was used in China, and the Japanese used American resources to slaughter the Chinese.

The news was like pouring a bottle of oil on a fire, and the Americans were outraged. They took to the streets to protest to Congress and the president that they would not allow the United States to participate in this dirty deal, and that the United States could not be an accomplice in the massacre of Chinese.

Chen Feng knows all these things that happened in the United States, and all of this was directed by him. But as for how effective Chen Feng is, Chen Feng is unknown, anyway, with Japan's kind of garbage government that doesn't want to be skinny, Chen Feng is not surprised at all what they do.

Soon Chen Feng turned all his attention to the prevention and control of the epidemic again, since the method of inviting Dr. Wu to come and control the plague did not work, then Chen Feng could only find a way by himself. He remembered that she had just graduated from the military academy and had just been sent to the company to carry out an epidemic prevention and disaster relief work, when a large-scale plague broke out in a province in northern Cyprus, and more than 500 people from their brigade were all transferred to the disaster area to participate in epidemic prevention and relief work. Since he was the squadron leader at that time, he was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces in Ba City, the hardest-hit area of Saibei Province, and concentrated on directing all the armed police in Ba City to participate in disaster relief.

Chen Feng remembered that Professor Li Yongguang, the commander-in-chief of disaster relief at that time, had said that the plague was a Class A virulent infectious disease that was seriously harmful to human beings. In addition to effective medicines, it is more important to have a set of reasonable treatment measures for the prevention and treatment of plague. Otherwise, as soon as this side is cured, there will be a new epidemic there. As soon as the situation calmed down over there, things just got better, and there was a resurgence here, so the plague would not work at all.

Moreover, he remembered that when the epidemic broke out, the health, public security, armed police, agricultural committee, finance, civil affairs, transportation, civil aviation, commerce, economy and trade, post and telecommunications, propaganda, education, garrisons, and mass organizations all went into battle and cooperated closely to jointly provide disaster relief. After the outbreak of the epidemic in Zhangjiakou, except for the garrison busy running around, other departments seemed to be indifferent, and some ordinary people in the city followed closely to add chaos, and there was chaos.

Chen Feng locked himself in the room alone and recorded the scene at that time, and then wasted a long time to revise and process, and after a whole night of hard work, he finally sorted out a set of methods suitable for the treatment of plague in the current Chahar area. First of all, about the epidemic report, Chen Feng deeply felt that the current news is closed and people's lack of understanding of the plague, which makes people do not realize the danger even if there is an outbreak of the plague in many places, and it is too late to be afraid, and the epidemic has reached the point of being uncontrollable, so this epidemic report is extremely important.

According to the epidemic reporting regulations formulated by Chen Feng: First, from now on, Chahar counties must establish and improve the epidemic reporting network and reporting system. Rodent prevention institutions at or above the county level should have special personnel responsible for epidemic reporting and epidemic statistics.

Second, after the diagnosis of a plague patient, the doctor directly involved in the diagnosis or Langzhong should immediately notify and report to the local government and the garrison. The Ministry of Propaganda and Education shall report to the competent department at the next higher level in the fastest way, and shall not exceed 6 hours at the latest; If a suspected patient or an unexplained patient is found to have died urgently, it must also be reported to the local rodent control agency or health and epidemic prevention department in a timely manner; If a large number of diseases of unknown origin, dead otters (rats) and domestic animals and other animals are found in the same area, they must be reported to the higher authorities.

Third, for confirmed or suspected plague patients, report cards and report forms must be filled out in a timely manner, and the revised or death report of the higher level government must be reported on time and level by level; Infected animals should be killed immediately and the carcasses should be incinerated.

The second is about the handling of epidemic areas, which is the key to controlling the epidemic, and if the epidemic areas are not handled well, it will bring great difficulties to the prevention and treatment of the epidemic.

First, the plague should be detected early, isolated and treated as soon as possible, and emergency measures should be taken to deal with the epidemic area in a timely manner, so as to completely eliminate the source of infection, cut off the transmission route, and extinguish the epidemic on the spot. In addition to the current prisoner camps and field hospitals, once the epidemic report is received from other places, the hospital is immediately ready to quickly arrive at the epidemic area, no later than two hours, without delaying the treatment of the epidemic.

Second, the patient's home and its neighbors should be divided into small isolation circles and cordoned off, and the patients should be strictly isolated and treated on the spot, and samples should be sent for testing.

Thirdly, the small isolation circle is fully inspected, disinfected, and treated with otters (rats), fleas and wild dogs, as well as other hygienic treatments.

Fourth, those who have direct contact with the sick or dead body must be registered, kept for testing, health isolated, and administered for prophylaxis as appropriate; If the direct contact person travels to another place, the relevant district administrative department should assist in recourse and take the same measures to deal with it.

Fifth, with the affected families as the center, part or all of the townships and villages will be classified as quarantine circles, and the epidemic areas will be locked down as needed. In the large isolation circle, corresponding measures are taken according to the type of plague, the source of infection, the epidemic situation, the scope of contamination, etc.

Sixth, in areas adjacent to the epidemic area, epidemic monitoring should also be carried out according to the situation, and necessary preventive measures such as otter (rodent) extermination, flea extermination, and traffic quarantine should be taken.

Seventh, the government should maintain order and law and order in the epidemic areas; It is forbidden to assemble or organize other group activities in epidemic areas.

Eighth, implement traffic control in epidemic areas.

Ninth, ninth, in order to confirm the diagnosis, plague control personnel may take the necessary examination materials from the patient or the corpse; If necessary, an autopsy may be performed on the body; The bodies of the plague deceased are not allowed to be buried in the sky, water, or transported outside, and are to be cremated immediately after disinfection by the medical unit that admits the disease. If the conditions for cremation are not met, the medical unit or local health and epidemic prevention agency that accepts the patient is responsible for disinfection, and the body may be buried at a depth of 2 meters below the ground 500 meters away from the residential area and 50 meters away from the source of drinking water.

In addition, Chen Feng also urgently ordered the field hospitals and medical organizations of all units of the 40 th Group Army to immediately go to Zhangjiakou and Datong to the hardest-hit areas. At the same time, the doctors and nurses at the military academy immediately graduated ahead of schedule and then participated in the task of curing the plague.

Although orders have been issued and documents have been sent to all counties in the province, a large number of patients are still dying every day because suitable medical treatment cannot be found for the time being. What made Chen Feng even more sad was that although the nurses, nurses, disinfection workers and burial workers who had been temporarily recruited were all required to wear protective clothing and masks, they all turned a deaf ear and wore masks around their necks, causing many people to be infected.

On May 27, 345 people died in Zhangjiakou, more than 200 in Datong, and Wei County was slightly better, but 87 people died. What's more, the epidemic has also been found in Xuanhua City, although it is not very serious, but it is a dangerous signal.

On the 28th, another 458 people died in Zhangjiakou, 287 in Datong, and 102 in Wei County. The number of infected people in Xuanhua exceeded 132.

On the same day, the 2nd Army of the Japanese North China Front began to attack southward by separate routes, and the 5th Division of the East Road moved south from Weixian (now Weifang) in Shandong, and trapped Yishui, Juxian, and Rizhao in succession, and went straight to Linyi. The Commander's Detachment of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army on the West Road crossed the canal from the Jining area to the west and attacked Jiaxiang, while another Seya detachment advanced south along the Jinpu Railway. Subsequently, the Japanese army independently mixed the 3rd Brigade, the 15th Division, and the 109th Division also followed, and the momentum was violent, and they rushed straight to Lunan.
