Chapter 436: The Plague
Okay, let's go see the cherry blossoms.
It's just that this year's cherry blossoms have withered, and I don't know if you will have the life to see next year's cherry blossoms.
In this way, a deserter brought back to Japan the Black Death, which had almost wiped out all of Europe, and by the time the ship disembarked, all of them had been infected, and more than 200 were taken to several hospitals, where the doctors, nurses, and patients took the Black Death out of the hospitals and carried them everywhere.
The military doctor got off the ship to reunite with his family, enjoyed a rare seven-day vacation, and returned to his hometown of Sapporo with his wife and children.
The crew called friends and ran to Ximending to revel, and the women who were targeted by Ximenqing gave the gifts given to them by the crew to the next wave of guests.
If Umezu Mijiro had not ordered Unit 731 to release the plague into Shanhaiguan, Japan would not have experienced this plague pandemic that threatened to kill Japan.
As a result, Xie Tian, who had long been wary of Umezu Mijiro, ordered his troops to plant mint on a large scale after the PLA occupied Shanhaiguan, sprinkled chili noodles all over the city, and distributed mothballs to every household.
Although these things do not kill rats, they can emit the most feared smell of rats, which makes rats stay away.
In the eyes of the outside world, Xie Baoqing is not doing his job, and it also confirms the speculation of the PLA strategy from the side.
As soon as the forces of all parties breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Baoqing, who had never played his cards according to common sense, made another big move, and the Nakano army launched an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves of the Japanese army on the Central Plains and the Jiaodong Peninsula in three ways.
The First Army of Nakano attacked along the coastline, conquered Dongying on one day, recovered Weifang on the third day, liberated Yantai on the seventh day, occupied Weihai on the eighth day, and the tank regiment of the First Army appeared in Beicang of Qingdao on the 15th.
The Second Army of Zhongye took Anyang, fought Jining, Kezaozhuang, and pointed directly at Xuzhou and Lianyungang.
The Third Army of Zhongye regained Zhengzhou in three days, regained Kaifeng in five days, and went south along the north bank of the Yellow River.
The People's Liberation Army's big move even understands the vegetable planting grandmother, and the People's Liberation Army is trying to liberate the north bank of the Yellow River.
The general forward finger of the Central Plains Field Army was moved forward again and again, from Shijiazhuang to Zhengzhou, from Zhengzhou to Xuchang, Xu Shiyou was full of spirits, he had never commanded such a large-scale group operation in so many years in the army, and this time it was too enjoyable.
Few people noticed that Xu Shiyou had an additional operational staff officer by his side, and this person was Kim Il Sung, who had arrived in Tianjin from the Soviet Far East Army thousands of miles away.
If you want to liberate North Korea, you must first learn to fight, and you must understand the combat style of the People's Liberation Army in order to better cooperate in the future.
After chatting with Kim Il Sung, Xie Tian found that although Kim Il Sung had participated in the War of Resistance for so many years, he still had the combat ideas of a guerrilla, so he arranged Kim Il Sung to be an operational staff officer next to Xu Shiyou first, so that he could experience the combat style of fighting in large groups and interspersed with great depth.
With the development of the Central Plains Field Army on the front north of the Yellow River, the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army, which were still entangled with the Japanese army on the north bank of the Yellow River, did not look good.
This fucking People's Liberation Army is slapping the face under the banner of fighting devils.
At this moment, Xie Tian received a call from Zhang Xueliang and had rushed to Shanhaiguan from Tianjin.
On the first tower of Guancheng, Zhao Gang, Zhang Xueliang, Chu Yunfei, Qin Fen, Li Yunlong and others accompanied Xie Tian, holding binoculars and looking at Taishan in the distance, bald wife top the Japanese position.
It's too far away to see it even with a telescope here.
Zhang Xue's conscience palpitated and reported to Xie Tian: "According to the information sent back by the scouts, a large-scale infectious disease has occurred on the Japanese position, and many people have died in the trenches. ”
Thankfully, the virus that the Japanese army used most on the battlefields in China was the plague, which spread quickly, had a high fatality rate, and most importantly, a low cost.
But the biggest disadvantage is that the spread is difficult to control, so people with a little humanity will not do such a crazy thing as spreading the plague, because because of its uncontrollable nature, the person who is likely to be harmed is himself.
As a result, Umezu Mijiro still used it.
Li Yunlong wiped a handful of cold sweat and looked at Xie Tian's side face and said, "Fortunately, the commander-in-chief ordered us to take preventive measures in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
Li Yunlong's Dongye First Army was all stationed on the line of Shanhaiguan in Qinhuangdao, and if the plague broke out here, then his First Army would probably be wiped out.
At this time, the sound of aircraft engines came from the sky behind him, and Xie Tian and the others, who were standing on the city tower, looked back into the sky, only to see hundreds of dense planes flying at a low altitude, and there were many behemoths like B-17 bombers and transport planes in the group.
The eight transport planes sent by the Chongqing government to support the Tangshan disaster area have now been officially incorporated into the PLA Air Force's combat sequence, and even the livery has been changed to the PLA logo.
This is also a hammer deal, it is estimated that the next time the Chongqing government sends something to the liberated area, I am afraid that it will have to be escorted by a horse-drawn carriage, and Xie Baoqing will not look down on that thing.
Wu Wenhua's voice came from the radio: "Commander-in-chief, I am Wu Wenhua, the First Army of Air Combat is ready, please instruct." ”
Xie Tian picked up the radio transmitter: "Throw it, throw the red number one first, and then throw the incendiary bomb, the coverage area should be larger, and burn all the nearby mountains to Lao Tzu, don't leave dead ends." ”
"Yes," Wu Wenhua replied and gave the order to drop bombs to the fighters.
As bursts of explosions sounded, the faint red mist of Red No. 1 rose on the ridge of the Japanese position, and then the incendiary bombs came from the sky, and the B-17 threw powerful cluster bombs directly at the top of the Japanese bald wife, and the entire mountain was covered by fire in an instant.
The dose of the Red No. 1 bomb is five times less than that of the Red No. 1 produced by the Japanese army.
It's not that Xie Tian's heart is soft-hearted, the enemy who was hit by Red One will inevitably die in the end, and the reduction of the dose is just for mass production, after all, it also costs to concoct Red One.
In addition to the Red No. 1 special bullet suitable for aircraft throwing, the special ammunition factory also produced 75 mm caliber red bullets suitable for artillery and tank use, 60 mm red bullets suitable for mortar use and 40 mm red bullets suitable for grenadier canisters, and 40 mm red bullets can be used as individual grenades, and soldiers equipped with red bullets can greatly improve their survival rate on the battlefield when they are in close contact with the enemy.
