Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter [-]: Sharply Rising Mortality Rate

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

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

But soon came a piece of news from Wuhan that made him extremely depressed. Dr. Wu, whom Hu Jishi had held great hope for, had left China.According to a telegram sent by the Military Control Bureau, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Lien-teh's apartment in Shanghai was blown up during the Battle of Songhu.Wu Lien-teh then left Shanghai and returned to Malaysia via Hong Kong.They are actively contacting Wu Lien-teh and trying their best to find him. At the same time, the national government has also mobilized a large number of medicinal materials from the rear to send to Chahar.The national government has only one request, and that is to hope 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 area.

Chen Feng knew very well what the national government was worried about. Even if the national government did not raise this request, he would fully control it.

On May 5, the Chahar provincial government held a press conference in Xinghe, and at the same time issued a report in plain text, exposing the crime of the Japanese army using chemical weapons to intentionally create a large-scale plague, and also produced some evidence.

After the national government's vigorous publicity, this incident caused a huge international sensation.Chemical weapons were invented during World War I.However, in view of the destructive power of chemical weapons and the huge consequences that are likely to be uncontrollable, the international community strictly forbids countries to use chemical weapons in war, and even prohibits research on 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 of various countries accused Japan and put pressure on the Japanese government.Among them, the U.S. government made the most effort. Because of the existence of Claire, the U.S. has obtained more detailed information than other countries. When photos of Chinese people who died of the plague appeared on the front page of the Washington Post time.Americans were completely shocked.They couldn't imagine what kind of tragic situation would use a car to pull the corpse. They were completely shocked by the crazy, shameless and immoral and inhumane practices of the Japanese.

In addition, the Washington Post revealed a trade secret at this time, that is, there is a large amount of steel every day.Scrap steel, measured in tons, was transported from the American continent to Japan.Then it was made into a weapon for killing people.Then it was used in China, where the Japanese used American resources to massacre the Chinese.

This news is like pouring a bottle of oil on the fire, and the Americans are angry.They took to the streets to protest to the Congress and the president. They will not allow the United States to participate in this dirty deal, and the United States cannot become an accomplice in the massacre of Chinese people.

Chen Feng knew about these things that happened in the United States, and all of them were directed by him.But as for how much effect it will have, Chen Feng doesn't know. Anyway, with Japan's trashy government that doesn't care about skins, Chen Feng is not surprised at what they do.

Soon Chen Feng turned all his attention to the prevention and control of the epidemic. Since the method of inviting Dr. Wu to control the plague was not feasible, Chen Feng could only find a way by himself.It is not that he has never encountered the plague before. He remembers that she had just graduated from the military academy and was sent to the company to carry out an epidemic prevention and disaster relief work. At that time, a large-scale plague broke out in a province in the northern part of the country. There were more than 500 people in their brigade. All were transferred to disaster areas to participate in epidemic prevention and relief work.Because he was the squadron leader at that time, he was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces in Bashi, the hardest-hit area in Sebei Province, and concentrated on commanding all the armed police in Bashi to participate in disaster relief.

Chen Feng remembered that Professor Li Yongguang, the commander in chief of the disaster relief at that time, said in a meeting with them that the plague was a Class A severe infectious disease, which seriously harmed human beings.In addition to effective drugs to prevent and control plague, it is more important to have a set of reasonable treatment measures.Otherwise, as soon as this side is cured, there will be a new epidemic over there.The situation just subsided over there, and the situation just got better, and the ashes revived here again. It is impossible to treat the plague like this.

And he remembered that when the epidemic broke out, health, public security, armed police, agricultural committees, finance, civil affairs, transportation, civil aviation, commerce, economy and trade, post and telecommunications, publicity, education, garrison and mass organizations all joined the battle and worked closely together for disaster relief. .After the outbreak in Zhangjiakou, except for the garrison who was busy running around, other departments seemed indifferent, and some ordinary people in the city followed closely to add to the chaos, causing chaos.

Chen Feng locked himself in the room alone, recalling the scene at that time while recording, and then spent a long time revising and processing. After a whole night of hard writing, he finally sorted out a set of plague treatment recipes suitable for the current Chahar area. Method.First of all, it is about the epidemic report. Chen Feng deeply feels that the lack of news and people's lack of understanding of the plague makes people in many places unaware of the danger even if the plague breaks out. By the time they are afraid, it is too late and the epidemic has arrived. The situation is uncontrollable, so this epidemic report is extremely important.

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

Second, after a plague patient is diagnosed, the doctor or doctor directly involved in the diagnosis should immediately notify the local government and the garrison.The Ministry of Propaganda and Education shall report to the higher-level competent authority in the fastest way, and the latest shall not exceed 6 hours; if a suspected patient or sudden death of unknown cause is found, it must also be reported to the local rat prevention agency or health and epidemic prevention department in time; if found in the same area A large number of unexplained diseases, dead otters (rats), livestock and other animals must be reported to the higher government.

Third, for confirmed or suspected plague patients, report cards and report forms must be filled out in a timely manner, and the correction or death report shall be reported to the higher-level government on time; the identified plague-infected animals shall be killed immediately and the corpses shall be incinerated.

The second is about the treatment of the epidemic area, which is the key to the control of the epidemic. If the handling of the epidemic area is not good, it will bring huge difficulties to the prevention and treatment of the epidemic.

First, early detection, early isolation, and early treatment of the plague should be achieved, and emergency measures to deal with the epidemic area should be taken in time 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 should immediately prepare to arrive at the affected area quickly, no more than two hours at the latest, and the handling of the epidemic should not be delayed.

Second, the patient's home and its neighbors are divided into small isolation circles and sealed off, and the patients are strictly isolated and treated on the spot, and samples are sent for inspection.

Thirdly, comprehensive inspection, disinfection, elimination of otters (rats), fleas and wild dogs, and other hygienic treatments are carried out in the small isolation circle.

Fourth, those who have direct contact with patients or corpses must be registered, kept for inspection, quarantined, and given appropriate medication for prevention; if the direct contact goes to a different place, the relevant regional administrative department should assist in tracing and take the same measures.

Fifth, with the affected families as the center, part or all of the townships and villages are designated as isolation circles, and the epidemic areas are blocked as needed.In the large isolation circle, according to the type of plague, the source of infection, the epidemic situation, the scope of pollution, etc., corresponding measures are taken for hygienic treatment.

Sixth, the areas adjacent to the epidemic area should also implement epidemic monitoring according to the situation, and take necessary preventive measures such as killing otters (rats), fleas, and traffic quarantine.

Seventh, the government must maintain order and public security in the affected areas; gatherings or organizing other collective activities in the affected areas are prohibited.

Eighth, implement traffic control in the epidemic area.

Ninth and ninth, in order to confirm the diagnosis, the plague prevention and control personnel can take necessary test materials from the patients or corpses; if necessary, they can conduct autopsy on the corpses; The sick medical unit is responsible for disinfection and cremation immediately.For those who do not have the conditions for cremation, the medical unit or the local health and epidemic prevention agency responsible for the disinfection may choose to place the corpse at a place 500 meters away from the residential area and 50 meters away from the drinking water source at a depth of 2 meters below the ground. buried.

In addition, Chen Feng also urgently ordered the field hospitals and medical organizations in the various units of the No.40 Army to immediately go to Zhangjiakou, Datong and other hard-hit areas.At the same time, the doctors and nurses in the military academy immediately graduated ahead of schedule, and then participated in the task of treating the plague.

Although the order has been issued and the documents have been distributed to all counties and counties in the province, a large number of patients still die every day because no suitable drug treatment can be found for the time being.What makes Chen Feng even more sad is that although the temporarily recruited nurses, caregivers, disinfectants and burial workers were all required to wear protective clothing and masks, they all ignored them and hung the masks around their necks instead of wearing them, causing many people to die. also be infected.

In one day on May 5, 27 people died in Zhangjiakou, and more than 345 people died in Datong. The situation in Yu County was slightly better, but 200 people died.More importantly, an epidemic was also found in Xuanhua City. Although it was not very serious, it was a dangerous signal.

On the 28th, another 458 people died in Zhangjiakou, 287 in Datong, and 102 in Yu County.Xuanhua infected more than 132 people.

On the same day, the 2nd Army of the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army began to split off and commit crimes in the south. The 5th Division of the East Route went south from Weixian County (now Weifang) in Shandong Province, fell into Yishui, Juxian County, and Rizhao, and went straight to Linyi.The Changse Detachment of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army on the West Road crossed the canal westward from the Jining area and attacked Jiaxiang, while another Seya Detachment marched southward along the Jinpu Railway.Subsequently, the Japanese army's independent mixed third brigade, No.15 division, and 109 division followed closely behind, aggressively attacking Lunan.
