"Division commander, General Tojo sent an urgent message!"
The staff officer took the newly arrived telegram and hurriedly came to the two anxious division commanders.
These days, the engineers and soldiers repaired the bridge, while the Shanxi-Sui army destroyed the bridge.
The Jinsui Army blew up the bridge, the engineers repaired it, and then the Jinsui Army blew it up again...
The two of them were already furious.
General Tojo sent an urgent message yesterday, ordering the two divisions to speed up and rush over immediately.
But today, the result is that the newly repaired bridge has just been destroyed again.
The soldiers of the two divisions, unless they can grow wings and fly over, will have no choice but to continue to think of ways to repair the bridge.
As for the detour, it would take half a month, and General Tojo couldn't wait at all.
And now, General Tojo Ichiro sent an urgent message again.
The two divisions didn't need to think about it. General Tojo Ichiro must be urging them again.
One of the division commanders took a look at the telegram and suddenly paused: "Baga, this, this, this..."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Another division commander approached suspiciously and quickly stopped.
Today, the Jinsui Army has launched a counterattack against Tojo Ichiro's army and has torn through the army's defense line.
The army was now in danger. General Tojo Ichiro ordered them to go over to support immediately even if they grew wings.
Grow wings, this is obviously ridiculous, humans are not birds!
"Baga, hurry up and pass on my order, take out the boat secretly built by the engineers and carry the soldiers across the river!" Both division commanders shouted immediately.
That's right, trapped here, they not only asked the engineers to build bridges, but also asked them to build ships.
Of course, due to the scarcity of materials, the number of boats built was very limited. There were only three small boats, which were just completed.
This ship was originally intended to transport some troops secretly at night, and then occupy the other side of the bridge to prevent the Jinsui Army from blowing up the bridge again.
But now the army couldn't wait any longer. The two division commanders could only give up the idea of building the bridge for the time being, and instead seized the time to use the built boats to transport troops across the river.
"Damn it, the Eighth Route Experts predicted it right. This little devil really built a boat." As soon as the little devil's three boats were taken out, they were discovered by the Jinsui Army on the other side.
The artillery of the Jinsui Army was not polite.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
After a burst of shelling, the three boats were shattered into countless pieces of rotten wood.
"Baga, damn it, damn it!" Seeing the three boats gone, the Japanese were furious.
"Division commander, the Jinsui Army is too cunning. They blew up our ship." The Japanese soldiers reported to the two division commanders.
When the two division commanders listened to the shelling, they also felt bad.
Now when they heard the report, both of them stamped their feet hard.
"Baga, what should we do now? Without the boat, how can we cross the river to save the army?"
"General, we still have some planks, maybe we can let the soldiers climb on the planks and swim across." Someone suggested.
"Try swimming!" The two division commanders said unceremoniously. It was summer now, there was a lot of rain, and the river had become turbid and fast.
It is a fool's dream to try to swim across the board by climbing on it.
Otherwise, the two division commanders would have asked people to climb on the plank and swim over, so why bother building a ship.
The two division commanders refused, but some Japanese soldiers still didn't believe in this evil and actually tried it.
There was no suspense in the result. All the Japanese soldiers who tried to swim over holding the plank were swept to the bottom of the river.
If he hadn't been pulled back in time with a rope tied to his body, his body would never have been found. As for the wooden planks, they had long been rolled up and disappeared!
However, something even worse came.
A military doctor came over and reported to the two division commanders: "Division commander, there is a bad situation.
"What's wrong?" asked the two division commanders.
"Someone in the army is sick," the military doctor replied.
"Isn't it normal for tens of thousands of people to get sick?" The two division leaders had not yet realized that something was wrong.
"Hundreds of people fell ill last night," the medic continued.
"Hundreds of people were sick last night?" When the two division commanders heard this, their expressions became solemn.
First of all, all the soldiers in the division are very healthy and strong and are not so easy to get sick.
Even if someone gets sick occasionally, the number is not high.
And last night, hundreds of people fell ill at once, which is not normal.
"What disease are they suffering from?" asked the two division commanders.
"This, this..." the military doctor hesitated.
"What's wrong? Did you eat something bad?" the two division leaders asked.
"No." The military doctor shook his head.
"That is how the matter?"
"I suspect they may have the plague..." The military doctor did not finish his words.
The two division commanders suddenly stood up, their eyes flashing coldly: "Baga, say it again!"
Plague, for an army, is the god of death!
All health and fitness pale in front of it.
If a plague is not well controlled, it will be nothing if it wipes out an army, let alone an army.
The military doctor faced the terrifying expressions of the two division commanders. He did not dare to raise his head: "I suspect they may have the plague..."
Snapped!
Snapped!
Before the military doctor finished speaking, the two division commanders slapped each other.
Both sides of the military doctor's face immediately became swollen, and clear finger prints appeared.
"Baga, idiot, you are a military doctor. How can you use the words doubt and possibility when it comes to the soldiers' condition!" One of the division commanders cursed, "You are shaking the morale of the army!"
Another division commander yelled: "Speak your tongue to me. What disease do those soldiers have? Otherwise, I will shoot you for deceiving the soldiers!"
The military doctor was slapped and faced with the threats from the two division commanders. He was still somewhat lucky. Maybe he had misdiagnosed. Maybe the army still had hope.
But now, his psychological luck has disappeared. He stands very upright and his tone seems stable: "I am very sure that what they got is the plague!"
Snapped!
Snapped!
As soon as the military doctor finished speaking, the two division commanders got angry. They slapped the military doctor at the same time and scolded: "Baga, I think you are looking for death! This place is deserted, not even a ghost. You said the soldiers must It’s a plague, where did their plague come from?”
For there to be a plague, there must also be a source of disease.
But in this wilderness, there are no living creatures, so where can the source of the disease come from?
The water the soldiers drank every day was boiled, and the food they ate was cooked food. How could there be a plague virus here?
"I don't know where the plague virus came from, but I can confirm that they really have the plague, and..." The military doctor gritted his teeth.
"And what?"
"And the plague virus has an incubation period. I suspect that most of our soldiers may be infected..." The military doctor did not finish his words.
The two division commanders finally started to get scared.
They stared at the military doctor: "Are you really sure that the soldiers are suffering from the plague? The virus still has an incubation period?"
If the military doctor's words were true, then the emperor's warriors from these two divisions would probably...the two division commanders didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Division Commander, I really hope my diagnosis is wrong, but their symptoms are really consistent with those of xx infectious diseases." The military doctor was very miserable.
Plague is a collective name for many kinds of terrible diseases.
This xx infectious disease is one of the most terrifying diseases among plagues. It is extremely contagious. If not treated in time, the mortality rate will be shocking!
Although the troops have not yet become ill on a large scale, once it breaks out, it will be a devastating scene.
Of course, at this stage, there is no possibility of remediation, which is to give the soldiers injections and medication immediately.
But this is simply not realistic.
First, the medicines carried by the army are basically for the treatment of emergency battle injuries, and there are no medicines to treat or prevent this plague.
Secondly, if we want to have medicines to treat and prevent this plague, we can only rely on the commander of Gangcun or the military headquarters to let them use planes to airdrop medicine reinforcements.
But in front of them, Tojo Ichiro's army cannot be saved, and the imperial planes dare not take off for reinforcements. I am afraid that there will be no support from the two divisions.
"Baga, take us over and have a look!" The two division leaders were all cold.
This is really a leaky house and a continuous rain all night, and a leaky boat is hit by a storm!
Tojo Ichiro's army is in danger. Not only can't he rescue them, but he also has to face the invasion of the plague. It's really terrible!
The two division commanders followed the military doctor to hundreds of sick Japanese soldiers. They were isolated in military tents by the military doctor in advance.
The military doctor wanted to hand protective equipment to the two division commanders, but neither of them accepted it.
"Two division commanders, this plague is extremely contagious. You..." the military doctor did not finish his words.
The two division commanders interrupted: "Didn't you say that this disease has an incubation period? Most of the soldiers in our army may be infected. I'm afraid even the two of us cannot escape. Wearing protective gear or not, what's the point?" !”
"Division commander, you are the heart of the army. You cannot fall. If you..." the military doctor did not finish his words.
The two division commanders broke in directly.
As soon as the tent curtain was opened, the stench came out immediately.
It was the smell of vomit and diarrhea from sick soldiers. It was really disgusting.
Even though the two division commanders had smelled the stench of corpses on the battlefield, they couldn't stand it anymore and immediately withdrew.
"Let's ask you again, are you sure it's an infectious disease?" The tone of the two division leaders began to tremble.
At this time, the army was infected with the plague, and the military doctors still didn't know how they got sick. They suddenly realized that this was probably inseparable from the strategic master of the 18th Army.
This person has unknowingly destroyed the First Army's logistical supply to Tojo Ichiro's army. Up to now, General Yoshio Shinozuka still doesn't know how the other party did it.
The strategic master of the 18th Group Army has such monstrous and astonishing means. If he attacks the army, it will definitely be nothing more than a piece of cake for him.
"Second division commanders, I really hope my diagnosis is wrong, but unfortunately it's not." The military doctor shook his head.
"All soldiers who are sick must be isolated quickly." The two division commanders ordered.
"Yes." The military doctor responded, although he knew that once the disease broke out in a large area, this so-called isolation would have no meaning at all.
The two division commanders were not willing to sit still and wait for death. One of them immediately led his people to thoroughly investigate the source of the plague virus.
The other person immediately used the radio to contact the First Army Headquarters.
At this stage, airdrops are unrealistic, so we can only place our hopes on Yoshio Shinozuka.
At the same time, we must also tell General Tojo that if the two divisions cannot get through, he may not be able to protect himself.
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
"General, this is an urgent telegram from General Tojo." A staff officer looked sadly and handed the newly arrived telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Recite it." Shinozuka Yoshio has now become somewhat Buddhist.
He knew that Tojo Ichiro was definitely going to die.
There is nothing he can do now, so he can only prepare to be dismissed.
"Our unit has been besieged by the main force of the Jinsui Army, and its morale has been shattered. We need urgent help!" the staff officer thought.
"Is there going to be a big defeat so soon?" Shinozuka Yoshio was still extremely surprised after hearing this. The Jinsui Army was already under siege and had broken Tojo Ichiro's morale.
As for emergency help, Yoshio Shinozuka ignored it.
If I can help a lot now, it will be good if I can keep the remaining territory of the First Army.
"General, how can we assist General Tojo?" the staff officer asked.
"Assistance, how do you think I can assist him?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "I don't have a single plane in my hand. Should I fly there myself with ammunition on my back?"
"General..." The staff officer wanted to say something else.
Yoshio Shinozuka interrupted: "Call Tojo Ichiro back and tell him to hold on."
"How can you hold on?" The staff officer's eyes widened. He never expected that Yoshio Shinozuka would call back like this.
"How can I hold on? How do I know?" Yoshio Shinozuka was helpless.
"Okay." The staff officer had no choice but to retreat.
"Awesome, the strategic masters of the 18th Group Army are really amazing. With the help of the Jinsui Army, they will be able to wipe out Tojo Ichiro's army so quickly. This is..." Yoshio Shinozuka muttered to himself. , thinking of something, he stood up.
Tojo Ichiro can't be saved, and there are still two divisions outside.
They are working hard to build the bridge and want to assist Tojo Ichiro.
They built the bridge, but the Jin-Sui army blew it up.
The Jinsui Army blew up the bridge, they repaired it again, and the Jinsui Army blew it up again. This is simply a vicious cycle.
Since Tojo Ichiro can't save him, why not quickly bring these two divisions back to enhance the strength of the First Army.
Otherwise, the strategic master of the Eighteenth Group Army would definitely not let them go.
When Yoshio Shinozuka thought of this, he immediately wanted to ask someone to generate electricity. At this time, another staff officer walked in quickly: "General, a new telegram has arrived."
When Yoshio Shinozuka took a look at the newly arrived telegram, he was instantly slumped or suddenly enlightened.
How could the strategists of the Eighteenth Group Army neglect to deal with these two divisions? They had already taken action.
This newly arrived telegram was sent by the two divisions. Soldiers in their army have begun to contract the plague. They hope that Yoshio Shinozuka can find a way to deliver medicine to them as soon as possible.
Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes fell on the map. It could be seen from the map that as long as the bridge was broken, these two divisions would be equivalent to being imprisoned by the strategic masters of the 18th Army.
The plague is spreading in the two divisions. This plan is so vicious and vicious.
The two divisions could not evacuate, nor could they receive rescue, and they were forced to fend for themselves.
"Forward this telegram to Commander Okamura." Yoshio Shinozuka told the staff, "This situation cannot be handled by the First Army."
"General, how do you generate electricity for those two divisions?" the staff officer asked.
"Tell them to hold on."
"..." Staff officer.
