Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 190: Plague Crisis

However, only one day later, a shocking news came from Zhangjiakou. What happened in Zhangjiakou was not flu at all, but plague, and it was the most troublesome plague among plagues.

It was only after Hu Jishi, Fidel and others arrived in Zhangjiakou that the situation here was far more serious than what was stated in the telegram. In the telegram sent by the Division Headquarters of the Independent Seventh Division to the Group Army Headquarters, it was stated that since the exchange of prisoners on the 20th, A total of 4 patients died.But when the medical rescue team arrived at the field hospital in Zhangjiakou, they found that 25 patients died in the field hospital in just one morning on the 134th, including 12 soldiers.

What's more serious is that as of the 25th, in just five days, the number of people infected has exceeded 500.In addition to the exchanged prisoners of war among these people, there were also soldiers from the Independent Seventh Division, ordinary people in Zhangjiakou City, and even doctors and nurses from the field hospital who also had fever and headache.

After careful inspection and judgment, Hu Jishi and Field jointly came to the conclusion that this was not a common cold or contagious flu, but a plague. Fidel even concluded that it was plague.

According to Fidel, he had seen a similar epidemic in Spain when he was only 22 years old and a student at a German medical school. At that time, there was a frightening epidemic in Spain. He and his teacher were invited by the Spanish royal family. , to study ways to control the epidemic.It's a pity that although his teacher's medical skills are very good, he failed to stop the epidemic in the end. According to Fidel, the situation at that time was almost the same as what happened in Zhangjiakou, so he judged that it should be plague.

After the news was sent back to Xinghe, Chen Feng suddenly felt chills all over his body. He knew very well what the plague represented in this era, it was no different from the death notice.More importantly, the outbreak occurred extremely suddenly, with almost no warning in advance.Plus this outbreak happened right after the captive exchange.This made Chen Feng have to think of a possibility, whether this plague was a conspiracy by the Japanese.

For this reason, Chen Feng immediately sent a report to the defenders in Datong and Yuxian who had also received a large number of prisoners, asking if similar problems had occurred there.The information fed back by the defenders in the two places made Chen Feng extremely anxious. Similar situations occurred in Datong and Yuxian where the 101st Division was stationed.And it's getting worse.

Suddenly, Chen Feng fell into an ice cellar.It must have been done by the insane Japanese.Only they could create such a large plague in such a short period of time, and they did it so secretly.

Now Chen Feng couldn't sit still, the plague has been the biggest killer of human beings since ancient times.As early as thousands of years ago, China had detailed records about the plague. "Zhou Li? Tianguan? Zhongzai" records: "Disease doctors take care of the diseases of the people, and there are diseases in all seasons." "Lu's Spring and Autumn? Ji Chunji "Records: "When the summer season is in place in the spring, there will be more diseases for the people." "Suwen? Acupuncture Theory" also has: "The five epidemics are all prone to dyeing, no matter how big or small, the symptoms are similar.... Do not do evil, avoid its poisonous gas." records.

In addition, Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty said in the preface of his book "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" that "there are many clans of Yu, and there are more than two hundred. Since the Jian'an Chronicle (AD 196), there are still not ten people, and one-third of the dead are Second, typhoid fever ranks seven out of ten. Feeling the loss of the past, Shang Hengyao’s inability to save, is to diligently seek ancient teachings, and learn from all sides...." "Typhoid fever" in the article, in addition to referring to external fever, also includes the time It can be seen that the febrile epidemic was rampant at that time.And Cao Zhi also recorded in "Shuo Epidemic Qi" that "in the 22nd year of Jian'an (217 AD), the plague was prevalent, and every family had the pain of zombies, and there was mourning in every room. Either the door was closed and the family died, or the family was destroyed. Or think: the epidemic is caused by ghosts and gods. If the husband suffers from it, he will be heard by the son of brown ruhuo and the people of the prosperous household! If the palace of the husband is in the house of food, and the gate of heavy ferrets, if it is rare. This is the case. It is because Yin and Yang are out of place, cold and heat are at the wrong time, so there is an epidemic, and the foolish people hang up talismans and hate it, which is ridiculous." It depicts the tragic situation of the epidemic.According to historical records, during the more than 17 years from Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty Liu Zhi to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie, there were [-] epidemics recorded.The epidemic has been going on for years, and the people are in dire straits, even the scholar-bureaucrats have not been spared.For example, Xu Gan, Chen Lin, Ying Yu, and Liu Zhen among the famous "Seven Sons of Jian'an" in the history of literature also died instantly.Its misery is evident.

Not only in China, but also in Western countries, plagues have occurred many times in history.The most famous plague of Athens occurred in Greece more than 2400 years ago, when the plague almost destroyed the entire Athens.For more than a year, the citizens of Athens lived in a nightmare. The strong and healthy young people around them would suddenly have a high fever, congest their throats and tongues, and emit an unusually foul smell.The unfortunate patient sneezed, hoarsely, and had chest pains from a violent cough.

There are also many types of plague, including rabies, tuberculosis, influenza, smallpox, and plague, but the most harmful one should still belong to plague.The Black Death that once ravaged Europeans for centuries was the plague, which was one of the worst plagues in human history.It is said that the plague originated in southwestern Asia and spread throughout Europe around the 1340s, and the name "Black Death" was the name of the plague in Europe at that time.The plague caused about 7500 million deaths worldwide. According to estimates, about 30% of the population in medieval Europe during the plague outbreak died of the Black Death.

同样的疾病多次侵袭欧洲，直到1700年代为止，期间造成的死亡情形与严重程度各不相同。较晚的几次大流行包括1629年到1631年的意大利瘟疫、1665年到1666年的伦敦大瘟疫、1679年的维也纳大瘟疫、1720年到1722年的马赛大瘟疫，以及1771年的莫斯科瘟疫。

Thinking of the plague, Chen Feng also thought of the notorious Ishii troops in the Japanese army. That demon army was stationed in Northeast China.In addition, the main body of this captive exchange was also the common people in the Northeast, and the terrible plague broke out as soon as these common people from the Northeast arrived in Zhangjiakou.

Chen Feng knows the information about Ishii's troops very well. It can be said that this army will always be a poisonous thorn in the hearts of the Chinese people. Ishii's troops are also called the [-]st troops of the Kwantung Army. force.In terms of its size, it is actually the largest bacterial factory in the world.As far as its status is concerned, it belongs to the dual leadership of the Japanese Army Ministry, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, and the Japanese Kwantung Army Command, and its personnel allocation is very strong.There are more than [-] staff members engaged in bacterial warfare research, including as many as five general-level officers.

Chen Feng remembered that in Unit 731 there was indeed a unit specialized in plague research. The commander of the unit seemed to be called Gao Qiao or something. In addition, Unit 731 also had units specialized in research on viruses, insects, frostbite, cholera, pathology, serum, typhoid, etc. Well, this plague is most likely caused by this army.

While being angry, Chen Feng also had to calm himself down. Anger would only make him lose his mind, which was not conducive to the resolution of the matter. Now he not only had to face the terrifying plague, but also prevented the Japanese army from taking this opportunity to attack the No.40 Army. attack.

After thinking about it again and again, Chen Feng ordered the troops of Datong, Yu County and Zhangjiakou to immediately impose martial law on these cities. From now on, no troops, including troops, were allowed to enter or leave Zhangjiakou.All counties and cities within the Chahar jurisdiction are also under military control, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gate at will until the ban is lifted.

Secondly, the whole province immediately entered a state of combat readiness, all ammunition was distributed to the combat troops, and all recruits stopped training, and immediately formed the army reserve on the spot.In addition, all regular troops immediately and closely monitored the actions of the Japanese army to prevent the Japanese army from launching a full-scale attack on Chahar.In addition, the troops immediately took over all the pharmacies and drugstores in the counties and cities, and all the doctors and nurses acted immediately, waiting for orders at any time.

In order to actually understand the epidemic situation in Zhangjiakou, Chen Fengyu personally drove the plane to Zhangjiakou on the night of the 25th, accompanied only by the beautiful reporter Claire and the talented sniper Li Zong who had just returned to the army headquarters. (To be continued..)

ps: Today the city union will have a training, from 12:6 am to 1:500 pm.The county where we are located is still more than an hour's drive away from the city, and it was already past nine o'clock when we returned to work, so today's update is late, and the number of words in each chapter is only more than [-], please forgive me.
