Glorious Mission 1937

()Chapter [-]: Cancellation of Jingbao (asking for subscription, asking for monthly ticket, asking for all kinds!!!)

Facts have proved that Wu Lien-teh's conjecture is correct, and the purified penicillin is really effective in treating plague.When three Japanese-made Type [-] military vehicles loaded with penicillin arrived in Zhangjiakou, the countdown to the plague had already begun.

The purified penicillin drug is completely equivalent to the magic medicine for people who have basically never used antibiotics in this era. In just three days, the epidemic situation in Zhangjiakou City was brought under control, and then Datong, Yuxian County and Xuanhua also spread the news. Good news, the plague that ravaged Chahar Province for nearly a month has finally been completely controlled.

Of course, this epidemic has severely damaged the entire Chahar. As of noon on June 6, the total number of direct deaths in the four major epidemic areas of Zhangjiakou, Datong, Yuxian and Xuanhua was 16, plus those who were secretly buried Yes, this plague caused at least 9634 deaths in Chahar Province.

In addition, this plague also completely destroyed the economic development plan of Chahar Province. Plague, in this era, is a living god of death. Since the plague broke out in Chahar Province, the entire province has been completely isolated.Don't say that the phenomenon of rushing to Chahar in groups and defecting to the No. 40 Army in the past is gone forever, and there are still a large number of people fleeing. They don't want to stay here and wait to die.

Not only that, the plague broke out, and plans to attract investment and start industries in Chahar Province were also shelved. It is important to make money, but you have to spend money to make money. Don’t make money, but people die. That would not be an unjust death.

Because of the plague, a lot of land in Chahar Province was barren, and only two-thirds of the land in the province had been sown. It is conceivable that if the harvest is good, this year can barely make do.If the harvest is not good, there will definitely be a major famine in Chahar Province.

On June 6th, the death toll in the four epidemic areas dropped sharply from 16 per day at the peak to 1123, then dropped to 213 on June 17, 186 on June 18, and 98 on June 19.By June 66, there were finally no death reports from the four epidemic areas, the death toll finally returned to zero, and the epidemic was finally extinguished.

Although the epidemic was extinguished, Chen Feng did not report it to the national government immediately, let alone the people in the province, and strictly ordered those who knew it to keep it secret.However, the large buses transporting corpses out of the city from the four affected areas still transported "corpses" out of the city every day, and the frequency increased every day.

On June 6, Chen Feng held a division-level military meeting in Xinghe.

Now that the threat of the plague has been lifted, the next thing is how to settle accounts. This time, the Japanese army wantonly arrested ordinary people as prisoners of war, and at the same time used chemical weapons on the civilians to deliberately create a plague, which made Chen Feng extremely angry.

This kind of behavior must be severely punished, this is Chen Feng's most direct thought.So at the beginning of the meeting, Chen Feng said loudly: "There is only one thing to call you this time, and that is revenge. Since the Japanese dared to use chemical weapons in our defense zone and created a plague, then they have to bear my burden." The courage of the army to retaliate."

"Boss, how do you say to fight? Our 222nd Division is willing to be the vanguard of the group army." Li Yifeng said loudly.

"Boss, this battle must be fought. If we don't fight, I will be sorry for the common people who died, and even more sorry for the soldiers who died of the plague. Our ** Seventh Division is ready and ready to wait for the order of the boss." Xu Hu said.

Zhangjiakou was the hardest-hit area of ​​the plague this time. Among the more than 1 people who died, 6000 people died in Zhangjiakou. Except for those ordinary people, a total of 722 soldiers of the Seventh Division of the Communist Party died of the plague this time. The division commander was very sad and vowed to avenge those soldiers who died unjustly.

"This battle has to be fought, but how to fight it back, let's plan carefully. Chief of Staff, tell us about the current movements of the Japanese army!" Chen Feng asked coldly.

Yang Yi said grimly: "Now, while we are busy dealing with the plague, the Japanese army has concentrated more than 20 elite troops from the North China Front Army and the Central China Dispatch Army to attack southern Shandong and northern Anhui in an attempt to open up the Jinpu line. Connect the two major battlefields in North China and Central China. At the same time, we also hope to advance westward along Longhai Road to capture Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, and the ultimate goal is to attack Wuhan with the navy in the Yangtze River and force the national government to surrender."

"Then how is the progress of the Japanese army now, and how is the national government responding?" Chen Feng asked again.

"Back to the main seat, the fighting on the southern front was relatively mild. On May 5, the Japanese army captured Linhuaiguan and Bengbu successively. Then, the main force of the 29th Division of the Japanese army crossed the Huaihe River in Bengbu and Linhuaiguan respectively, and launched an attack on the north bank. The 13st Army of the National Revolutionary Army fought fiercely with the Japanese Army, causing heavy casualties. On the 51th, it retreated towards Xihe and Huihe. The Fifth War Zone, led by Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the 30th Army, rushed to the Guzhen area to cooperate with the 59st Army On the north bank of the Huaihe River, the Japanese reconnaissance forces were stubbornly resisting. At the same time, on the south bank of the Huaihe River, the 51th Army of the 21st Group Army held the Luqiao area. The main force of the 48th Division returned from the north bank of the Huaihe River. The 7th and 31st armies took advantage of the momentum to counterattack and restored all positions north of the Huaihe River in early June. The 13st Army and the 59st Army concentrated from the south bank of the Huaihe River to the north bank. The two sides faced each other across the river."

"However, the battle on the northern front was extremely fierce. The 5th Division of the North China Front Army fell into Yishui, Juxian, and Rizhao one after another, and captured Linyi on June 6. The Changse Detachment of the 4th Division crossed the canal from the Jining area to the Jiaxiang The attack was stubbornly resisted by the 10rd Army, and the attack was thwarted. However, the Seya Detachment, which also belonged to the 3th Division of the Japanese Army, was progressing smoothly, falling into Lincheng, Zaozhuang, and Hanzhuang, and was rushing towards Taierzhuang. The other Japanese Army Sakamoto Detachment One is fighting bitterly with the 10th Army of the Nationalist Government on the front lines of Chashan and Xiangcheng. The 20th Division of the Japanese Army, the Sakai Detachment, the Ida Detachment and the 16th Division have also joined the battle. In addition, on the front line of Xinkou, the Japanese Army has assembled again The 109th Division, the 108th Division, the First Brigade of Field Artillery, the Second Brigade, the First Wing of Japanese Tanks, and the Second Wing totaled more than 14 people, and launched an attack on the World War II zone. Now the Japanese Army We have already reached the base of Taiyuan City, and the World War II District Commander’s Department has withdrawn from Taiyuan City, and there is only one division in the city still struggling to resist, but it will last for a day or two at most.”

“不过在山东前线的国民党军队这次打得很英勇，第五战区集结了第27师、第30师、第31师、第30军、第43军、**第44旅、No.20军团第4师、第89师、第6师、第139师、第2师、第25师、第110师、第13军、第52军、第75军、第85军、第57军第333旅、第13军骑兵团、骑兵第9师、第13师等部队，总兵力月40万，另外还有大量的部队正向徐州地区集结，看架势蒋委员长是准备在徐州地区与ri军决一死战。”

After listening to Yang Yi's report, Chen Feng frowned and said: "Xuzhou is the place of the Fourth World War, and there is no danger to defend. It is most suitable for the Japanese army's mechanized troops to enter. Chairman Jiang may suffer a big loss this time." .”

"Boss, what should we do then?" Yang Yi asked.

"Of course it's a fight. We can't intervene in Xuzhou. We can't transport our troops to Xuzhou in a short time, so we reopened the battlefield and pulled the Japanese army's attention from North China and North China. Now Taiyuan City is about to fall. The troops in the World War II zone may have been frightened by the little devils. If we don't help them, Jinzhong and Jinnan may all fall. At that time, the main force of the Japanese army will enter Henan from Shanxi, and the main force will attack the national government from east to west. At the end of the Xuzhou battle, I'm afraid there will be another big rout." After speaking, Chen Feng stood up, picked up a teaching stick, walked to the map hanging on the wall, and said: "The main force of the North China Front Army is now concentrated in southern Shandong, In Jinzhong, there is only about one division in the Pingjin area, and only half a division in the Hebei area, so we have to teach the Japanese army an unforgettable lesson this time."

"This time we will launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese army from three directions: southeast, north, south, west. The main attack direction of the West Route Army is Guisui and Baotou. The North Route Army's attack direction is the Saibei Grassland. The East Route Army's main attack direction is Rehe Province and The vast area of ​​eastern Hebei."

"Listen to my order now: the 101st Division, 222nd Division, Jingwei Brigade, and Armored Brigade form the West Route Army, which is under my direct command. The strategic goal is to annihilate the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia and seize key cities such as Guisui and Baotou. The cavalry group, The Mongolian Rescue Army formed the North Route Army, with Andre as the commander-in-chief. The strategic goal was to capture Xilinhot, Wulanhua, Sunid Right Banner, Zhengbai Banner, Xianghuang Banner, Zhenglan Banner and other grassland towns, and destroy the Japanese and puppet troops in the area. A stronghold on the grassland. The teaching instructor, the air defense brigade, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions of the Eastern Jidong Army formed the Eastern Route Army, with Shi Jianfei as the commander-in-chief. The strategic purpose was to capture Chengde. In addition, the [-]th Division of the **, Xinghe Chen Bing of the Jingbei Brigade launched an attack in the direction of Xiahuayuan, Changping, and Beiping. At the same time, the new first brigade was stationed in Datong, the new second brigade was stationed in Tianzhen, the new third brigade was stationed in Zhangjiakou, and the new fourth brigade stayed in Xinghe."

After giving the order, Chen Feng said again: "The soldiers are divided into four groups, but they are divided into primary and secondary. This time, the West Route Army is the main force, the North Route Army is the supplementary, and the Southeast Route Army is the second. The overall strategic goal is to eliminate the troops stationed in Mongolia. Army, seize the Japanese and puppet occupied areas in Suiyuan and Chabei. The last thing I want to say is that the Japanese army is very lax about our army this time, so our army can give them a surprise attack, so the special warfare division is divided into Fourth, each army is equipped with a special warfare brigade for operations. The time for the general offensive is the night of June 6, at 28 o'clock in the morning."

"Okay, hurry up and prepare as soon as you go back, but you must not let the Japanese army find any clues. Remember, the plague in Chahar Province has not been resolved, and I have also been infected. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

"Dismiss!"
