Okay, let's go see the cherry blossoms.
It’s just that this year’s cherry blossoms have withered. I don’t know if you will still be able to see next year’s cherry blossoms.
In this way, a deserter brought the Black Death, which nearly wiped out the entire Europe, back to Japan. More than 200 people on the ship were already infected when they disembarked. More than 200 people were sent to several hospitals. Those hospitals Doctors, nurses and patients brought the Black Death out of the hospital and spread it to all directions.
The colonel's military doctor disembarked from the ship to reunite with his family, enjoyed a rare seven-day holiday, and returned to his hometown of Sapporo with his wife and children.
The crew gathered their friends and went to Ximending to party, and the women who were targeted by Ximen Qing gave the gifts given to them by the crew to the next wave of guests.
This is called self-inflicted trouble. If Umezu Yoshijiro had not ordered Unit 731 to release plague into Shanhaiguan, Japan would not have experienced this plague pandemic that almost caused Japanese genocide.
As a result, Xie Tian, who had long been wary of Umezu Yoshijiro, ordered the troops to plant mint on a large area after the People's Liberation Army occupied Shanhaiguan, spread chili powder throughout the city, and distributed mothballs to every household.
Although these kinds of things cannot kill mice, they can emit the smell that mice fear most and make mice avoid them.
Driving away rats only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Xie Baoqing, the commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, even personally presided over the work of eradicating the four pests. In the eyes of the outside world, Xie Baoqing was not doing his job properly. It also confirmed the outside world's speculation about the People's Liberation Army's strategy. Xie Baoqing is a wealthy man. Already content with the status quo.
All forces just breathed a sigh of relief, but Xie Baoqing, who never followed common sense, made another big move. The central and field troops divided into three groups and launched an offensive like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves against the Japanese troops in the Central Plains and Jiaodong Peninsula.
The First Army of the Central Fields attacked along the coastline, captured Dongying on the first day, recovered Weifang on the third day, liberated Yantai on the seventh day, occupied Weihai on the eighth day, and the First Army Tank Regiment had appeared in Beicang, Qingdao on the 15th day.
The Second Army of the Central Field took Anyang, fought in Jining, and defeated Zaozhuang. The front was directed at Xuzhou and Lianyungang.
The Third Army of the Central Fields recovered Zhengzhou in three days and Kaifeng in five days. It moved south along the north bank of the Yellow River with overwhelming force. Within half a month, it conquered several cities in Xuchang, Luohe, and Fuyang, and formed an east-west pincer attack with the Second Army against the enemy in Xuzhou.
Even the vegetable-growing grandmother could understand this big move by the People's Liberation Army. The People's Liberation Army was trying to liberate the north bank of the Yellow River.
The general forward direction of the Central Plains Field Army moved forward again and again, from Shijiazhuang to Zhengzhou, and from Zhengzhou to Xuchang. Xu Shiyou was in high spirits. He had never commanded such a large-scale group operation in all his years in the army. This time he was satisfied.
Few people noticed that there was an additional combat staff officer beside Xu Shiyou, and this person was none other than Kim Il Sung, who had traveled thousands of miles from the Soviet Far East Army to Tianjin.
If you want to liberate North Korea, you must first learn to fight. You must understand the PLA's combat style so that you can better cooperate in the future.
After chatting with Kim Il-sung, Xie Tian discovered that although Kim Il-sung had participated in the Anti-Japanese War for so many years, he still had a guerrilla fighting mentality, so he first arranged for Kim Il-sung to serve as a combat consultant next to Xu Shiyou, so that he could experience the large group. Combat, a combat style with deep penetration.
As the Central Plains Field Army deployed 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, looked ugly.
This fucking People's Liberation Army is slapping people in the face under the guise of fighting the Japanese.
At this moment, Xie Tian received a call from Zhang Xueliang and had already rushed to Shanhaiguan from Tianjin.
On the first gate tower, Zhao Gang, Zhang Xueliang, Chu Yunfei, Qin Fen, Li Yunlong and others accompanied Xie Tian, holding telescopes in their hands to look at the distant Taishan Mountains and the Japanese military positions at Bald Wife Peak.
It's too far away, even if you hold a telescope here, you can't see clearly.
Zhang Xueliang reported to Xie Tian with lingering fear: "According to the information sent back by the investigators, a large-scale infectious disease occurred on the Japanese army's positions, and many people died in the trenches. Based on the symptoms, we suspect that it was plague."
Xie Tian sighed. The virus used most by the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield was plague. This virus spreads quickly, has a high fatality rate, and most importantly, is low in cost.
But the biggest disadvantage is that the scope of transmission is difficult to control, so people with a little bit of humanity will not do such crazy things as spreading the plague. Because of its uncontrollability, the person who is likely to be harmed is himself.
In the end, Umezu Meijiro still used it.
Li Yunlong wiped his cold sweat and looked at Xie Tian's side face and said, "Thankfully the commander-in-chief ordered us to take preventive measures in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Li Yunlong's Dongye First Army was all stationed on the Shanhaiguan line in Qinhuangdao. If the plague broke out here, his First Army would most likely be wiped out.
At this time, the sound of aircraft engines came from the sky behind them. Xie Tian and others standing on the tower turned back to look into the sky, and saw hundreds of densely packed aircraft flying in at low altitudes. Among them were B-17 bombers and A behemoth like a transport plane.
The eight transport planes sent by the Chongqing government to support the Tangshan disaster area have now been officially incorporated into the combat order of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, and even their livery has been changed to the People's Liberation Army logo.
This is also a one-time deal. I guess the next time the Chongqing government sends something to the liberated areas, it will probably have to be transported by horse-drawn carriage. Xie Baoqing doesn't like that thing.
Wu Wenhua's voice came from the radio: "Commander-in-Chief, I am Wu Wenhua. The First Air Combat Army is ready. Please give instructions."
Xie Tian picked up the radio transmitter: "Throw it, throw the Red No. 1 first, and then throw the incendiary bomb. The coverage area should be larger. Burn all the nearby mountains for me, and don't leave any dead spots."
"Yes", Wu Wenhua responded and gave the order to each fighter plane to drop bombs.
As bursts of explosions sounded, a faint red mist from Red One rose on the mountains where the Japanese army was stationed. Then incendiary bombs came from the sky. The B-17 threw powerful cluster incendiary bombs directly at the Japanese army's bald head. In an instant, the entire mountain was covered in fire.
Now the Red No. 1 aerial bombs dropped by the Air Force are ammunition produced by the People's Liberation Army's special ammunition factory. The dose of Red No. 1 is five times less than that of the Red No. 1 produced by the Japanese army. People will also lose weight after being poisoned. Resistance, but physically less painful.
It's not that Xie Tian was merciful. Enemies infected with Red No. 1 would inevitably die in the end. Reducing the dose was just for mass production. After all, preparing Red No. 1 also required costs.
In addition to the No. 1 special ammunition suitable for aircraft dropping, the special ammunition factory also produces 75 mm caliber red bullets suitable for artillery and tanks, 60 mm red bullets suitable for mortars and grenades. 40mm red bombs, and 40mm red bombs can be used as individual grenades. Soldiers equipped with red bombs can greatly increase their survival rate on the battlefield when engaging the enemy in close combat.
