Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 634 Zhu Ziming, you must get the prescription within 2 days, otherwise you will die!

Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei had never thought of this. After Lin Zhenhua's reminder, they immediately understood the key and their faces were full of excitement. They really didn't expect that the Japanese's night attack tonight would become the turning point of this war.

The Eguchi and Sakai Battalions, which were declared rebels, were completely wiped out, and their bodies were burned and buried. Only Shimazu Taro led the remaining six special forces to successfully sneak into the rear camp, but he did not dare to contact Hirata Kojiro, planning to wait until the storm was over before contacting him.

A whole night of fighting made Shimazu Taro and his men very tired, and they soon fell asleep in the wild. The next morning, Shimazu Taro noticed something was wrong. Of the six special forces members following him, only two were still alive, and the remaining four were as motionless as dead pigs.

After checking his breath, he was so scared that he fell to the ground. He had never thought that these four members of the special forces had died without anyone noticing. What frightened him the most was that he did not hear any movement last night, which made him even more frightened, especially the ferocious expressions of the four members of the special forces before they died, which was too scary.

"Bagayalu! What the hell is going on? They were all fine last night, why are they all dead today? Who did it? Can anyone tell me what happened last night?" Shimazu Taro roared hoarsely in a low voice with fear on his face.

The other two members of the Japanese special forces felt cold all over, and their foreheads were extremely hot. They fell down in front of Shimazu Taro, shivering all over.

Shimazu Taro hurried forward to check. Seeing the two Japanese special forces team members' faces pleading for help and whispering "save me, save me", Shimazu Taro became more and more frightened. He had a bold guess in his mind that they were infected with the plague. The four special forces team members were infected the earliest and did not even survive a night and were burned to death.

Touching his slightly warm forehead, Shimazu Taro felt weak all over and his throat was very uncomfortable. This made him more certain of his previous guess that he must have been infected with the plague. In order to survive, he had to find a military doctor for treatment, otherwise he would die.

Enduring the discomfort, Shimazu Taro washed his face with cold water to calm himself down. But it was useless. The physical fatigue made him lose his energy. His strong endurance made him grit his teeth and persevere. He sneaked into the military doctor's station, secretly took out some medicine, fed it to the two people around him, and also took the life-saving medicine given by Hirata Kojiro. Only then did the situation get better.

Chaochao buried the four special forces members. He used all his strength to bring the two surviving members into a nearby cave. The three of them recuperated in the cave. They had no time and energy to worry about the ups and downs of the outside world.

"Your Excellency the Lieutenant General's order is correct. The plague is very terrible, and this kind of weapon is difficult to control. I stole two boxes of medicine. Together with the life-saving medicine given to us by Lieutenant Colonel Hirata, we should all survive. When I stole the medicine, I also stole half a month's worth of food. As long as we can survive half a month, we will definitely be able to return to normal. For the safety of the army, we can't go out next. We must stay in the cave honestly. Whoever dares to go out without permission, I will kill him!" Shimazu Taro said to himself.

The two Japanese soldiers beside him had fallen asleep and did not hear his mumbling at all. Soon Shimazu Taro also fell asleep. A huge crisis was about to sweep across the Japanese eastern attack group.

The news of the annihilation of the Eguchi Battalion and the Sakai Battalion was immediately heard by Kojiro Hirata and others, causing them great trouble. Several Japanese officers who had been close to them before took the initiative to distance themselves from them, causing them great trouble and making them the target of public condemnation.

"Hirata-kun, our current situation is very bad. We can no longer stay here. We must clean up the mess as soon as possible and leave the eastern attack group." Mitsui Taro said with an irritated look on his face.

Nakamura Ichiro followed up and said, "The night attack last night will definitely not end here. There will definitely be many more disturbances. If we want to escape from this disturbance, the only way is to leave here as soon as possible and wait until the disturbance subsides!"

"Lieutenant General Imai has set his sights on us. If we don't know what's good for us, he will most likely seize the opportunity to kill us. I can see that Lieutenant General Imai's second purpose is to capture us and take over all our assets. After all, how can we run our own business faster than robbing others?"

Hirata Kojiro agreed with him, "Yoshi! We made a lot of money reselling the medicines produced by the Independent Group before. I'm afraid that many people know about this, so it's normal for us to be targeted. Logically, we should be more low-key, but we have been too high-profile recently and have meddled in things that we shouldn't have, so we can't blame others for uniting to attack us."

"In order to ensure our safety, I will ask Yamamoto-kun for a squadron of special agents. With two squadrons of special agents protecting us, our safety will be guaranteed! It is now 6:30 in the morning. In two and a half hours, we will all leave here together."

Hirata Kojiro's proposal was recognized by everyone present, and they immediately began to pack up and prepare to leave Xiaowang Village. After hearing the news that Hirata Kojiro and others had left, Lieutenant General Imai smiled contemptuously and decided to let them go. After all, he had to give some face to the people behind them. If it happened again, he would definitely eat them up.

The Japanese camp was very quiet. Lieutenant General Imai's worries did not come true, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. When he was about to go to have breakfast, the combat staff officer Miyamoto Ikki rushed over and reported anxiously, "Your Excellency, the situation may not be right. I just received a report from Dean Ito that more than 60 imperial soldiers have developed high fevers of varying degrees, and more than 20 of them have been comatose. The cause of the disease has not been found yet. Dean Ito suspects that it may be a plague. Please make preparations in advance."

Lieutenant General Imai spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, simply wiped his mouth with a towel, hurried back to the command center, and called a meeting of all officers above the rank of colonel.

"I just received news from Dean Ito that more than 60 of our soldiers may have been infected with the plague. I have repeatedly reiterated that you must not act on your own, but you turned a deaf ear to my words. You have no idea how terrible the plague is. Once it breaks out, it is difficult to control. It will not only hurt the enemy, but also hurt yourself!"

"Miyamoto, go and tell Dean Ito to do his best to treat the soldiers infected with the plague. If they cannot be treated, get rid of them immediately. Don't let the plague spread throughout the camp."

"From now on, no one is allowed to move between the camps. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave your camp without permission. It is now seven o'clock in the morning. Report your respective conditions to me every hour. I will also send military doctors to your camps. Don't think I am exaggerating. Once the plague breaks out on a large scale, the consequences will be much more terrible than you can imagine!"

"Contact the Ishii unit immediately and ask them to send someone over as soon as possible to see if they can come up with a good treatment plan. Immediately call for help from the Taiyuan headquarters and ask Dr. Newei to provide us with tactical guidance!"

The Japanese officers present then put aside their previous careless expressions and realized that Lieutenant General Imai was not really trying to eliminate dissidents, and everything was for their own good. They had completely misunderstood Lieutenant General Imai, but it was too late when they realized it. After they returned to their own troops, more Japanese soldiers were found to be infected with the plague.

They hurriedly reported the situation, and a great plague spread to the entire Japanese attack group on the east route, and even the puppet troops were not spared. In just one day, nearly 3000 Japanese and puppet troops were infected with the plague. The situation was completely beyond Lieutenant General Imai's expectations. In desperation, he had to ask for help from the Taiyuan Command and request the command to airdrop a batch of samples for emergency treatment of soldiers infected with the plague.

The medicines in the hands of Kojiro Hirata and others were also requisitioned, and they were directly placed under house arrest. In order to evade responsibility, Kojiro Hirata and others immediately used their connections to find ways to withdraw a batch of medicines that were ready to be sold and use them to treat soldiers infected with the plague.

After learning about this, Lieutenant General Imai's expression looked better. In order to control the plague as soon as possible, he asked Kojiro Hirata to find a prescription for the Independent Regiment to cure the plague, otherwise their safety could not be guaranteed.

Hirata Kojiro and his men dared not neglect it, as they knew that Lieutenant General Imai would definitely do what he said, and Zhu Ziming became their only lifesaver. In order to get the prescription for curing the plague, they forced Zhu Ziming to contact the intelligence personnel immediately and steal the prescription at all costs.

"Taijun, don't worry. I will arrange for them to send out the prescriptions and drawings now. They will be delivered to us in two days at most!" Zhu Ziming nodded and promised.

General Yingzuo actually did not agree with doing this, but thinking that this matter concerned the lives of 20,000 imperial warriors, he could only suppress what he was about to say and wait until the plague was resolved.
