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

Chapter 646: Let’s talk about the drug issue later. As long as the devils don’t mention it, there’s

Three hours later, the army captured four city gates in succession and successfully entered Shuiquan County. In order to calm the chaotic Shuiquan County as soon as possible, Lin Zhenhua ordered all soldiers to strictly block all streets and send health workers to diagnose and treat each household, giving emergency treatment to the people infected with the plague and then sending them to the field hospital outside the city.

"Everyone, the situation in Shuiquan County is more serious than we thought. In order to treat the people infected with the plague in the city as quickly as possible, we have to take more radical measures. I had planned to send a vanguard to take over the Shuiquan Oilfield, but after seeing the situation in Shuiquan County, I immediately gave up the idea."

"I will arrange the work next. The army will not conduct any combat operations in the next two days. Our most important task is to fight the plague. First of all, let me talk about logistics. The patients infected with the plague have very poor food and accommodation. We will be responsible for the food supply next."

"Lao Ding, I'll leave this logistics issue to you. You have to ensure that the soldiers and patients can have hot meals at any time!"

Ding Wei stood up from the bench and promised with a serious face: "College students, just leave the task to me with confidence. I will never let you down!"

Lin Zhenhua nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Chu Yunfei beside him, and said solemnly: "Captain Chu, your 358th Regiment has a heavy burden this time. There must be some stubborn devils in Shuiquan County. You must find them out for me and eliminate them all!"

Chu Yunfei promised with a serious face: "College student, I, Chu Yunfei, promise you that I will complete the cleanup of all places in Shuiquan County within one day, and I will definitely not leave any small tails!"

"Brother Yunfei, I will send Zhang Dabiao to you, and then transfer two battalions of soldiers to cooperate with you. We must eliminate the hidden dangers in Shuiquan County as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to sleep peacefully at night." Li Yunlong added with a smile on his face.

Lin Zhenhua scolded angrily, "Old Li, why don't you just be honest and listen to me first! What I am going to say next is related to you. You must be personally responsible for the identification of puppet troops and devils. You must find all the puppet troops and devils hiding among the people. As for me, I will be responsible for the treatment of plague patients."

"In order to resolve the plague in Shuiquan County as quickly as possible, I have issued an emergency order to the Zhaojiayu base. Starting tomorrow morning, a steady stream of medicines will be airlifted in. As long as you follow the new prescription I gave you, the disease will definitely be cured!"

"Regarding the fake prescription, let me say it again. The prescription did have problems, but the medicine was fine. This is why the plague has been basically brought under control in the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

"As for why the Japanese failed to control the plague after getting the prescription, and the death toll increased dramatically, I still don't understand it. I suspect that it was a conspiracy planned by the Japanese to deliberately discredit our medicine. But then I thought about it and felt that the Japanese would not be so stupid. It is very likely that there were some problems when the Japanese boiled the herbs and injected penicillin, otherwise this situation would never have occurred!"

Li Yunlong, who knew the truth, almost couldn't help laughing out loud. However, after realizing that the situation was not right, he immediately pinched his thigh hard, and acted very serious. He roared angrily, "The damn Japanese devils are actually playing dirty tricks at this time. They definitely have no good intentions. They are deliberately trying to put the blame on us so that we can't sell our medicines. Their intentions are extremely vicious."

Although Kong Jie didn't know the inside story, he felt that there was something fishy about this matter. It must be related to Lin Zhenhua. Seeing Li Yunlong's shameless face, he couldn't stand it anymore and quickly persuaded him: "Old Li, can you just be quiet for a while? The matter has not been investigated yet, you can't easily draw conclusions. Besides, the Japanese haven't said anything. If we take the initiative to jump out, wouldn't it seem like we are trying to hide something?"

Li Yunlong thought about it and realized that was true. The Japanese had not mentioned anything wrong with the medicine until now, so there was no need for him to jump out. That would only make him look more guilty.

"Lao Kong, your reminder is absolutely correct. I almost fell into the trap of the Japanese. Since the Japanese didn't bring up this topic, there is no need for us to bring it up. Anyway, our medicines are selling very well. No one will believe the Japanese's sweet talk. Nowadays, it's useless to just talk. We have to see the effect!"

Lin Zhenhua knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention, and said with a serious face: "The issue of medicines has come to an end for the time being. As long as the Japanese don't take the initiative to bring it up, there is no need for us to cause trouble! It is now 4:56 in the morning. In two hours, the transport plane will arrive. I have to go to the field hospital quickly to understand the situation. You will perform your duties according to my previous arrangements. If you have any questions, just call me directly on the radio!"

Everyone left the command center and started to get busy. The capture of Shuiquan County did not mean that there was no resistance in the county. There were many Japanese spies lurking inside, who specifically instigated ruffians to create chaos. They were severely cracked down by Li Yunlong, and anyone found would be shot to death without any mercy.

With the joint efforts of Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei, it took only nine hours to complete the clearance of the Japanese Chanyu forces in Shuiquan County. The entire Shuiquan County regained stability. Patients infected with the plague were sent to the field hospital outside the city for treatment. The situation was developing in a good direction.

More than 100 medical workers from the base area came to support the epidemic. They did not even have a rest after getting off the plane and went straight to work. Large vats were set up, and jars of medicine were boiled out. Penicillin was used one after another. In just two days, the plague in Shuiquan County was completely under control.

"Lao Ding, Shuiquan County will be temporarily left to you to garrison. After the support troops sent by Lao Zhao arrive, you can come to support us! I plan to set out for Shuiquan Oilfield tomorrow to seize the oilfield and the Japanese's refinery to solve the fuel shortage problem in the base!" Lin Zhenhua said with a serious face.

Ding Wei put down the telegram in his hand and assured him seriously: "College student, leave Shuiquan County to me. You can rest assured. As long as I, Old Ding, am in Shuiquan County for one day, they can be safe for one day. Even if the Japanese send a large force to fight back, I can hold out until you lead the army back!"

After arranging all matters in Shuiquan County, Lin Zhenhua led the army directly to Shuiquan Oilfield. When the Gutian Brigade stationed near Shuiquan Oilfield learned of Lin Zhenhua's attack, they panicked for a moment and quickly asked for help from the Taiyuan Command, but they received an order to stay where they were. If things were impossible, they could also choose the opportunity to make a tactical shift.

"Your Excellency, the command from the headquarters is actually very easy to understand. It tells us to defend if we can, and give up if we can't. We have already rushed to Taiyuan Airport and several nearby temporary airports to transport a large amount of fuel, which is enough to guarantee the 18th Flying Division's combat needs for one month."

"The two divisions of the North China Front Army that supported us have arrived yesterday, and they are expected to all arrive in two days. Even if we lose the Shuiquan Oilfield now, we can take it back quickly. The reason why the headquarters did not allow us to blow up the oilfield facilities and refinery is that they are waiting to start production directly after we take back the oilfield and refinery!" Kojiro Morikawa persuaded carefully.

Furuta Ichiro replied with full approval: "Mr. Morikawa, Shuiquan Oil Field must be taken. I plan to arrange a battalion of troops to stay behind to guard Shuiquan Oil Field, and the main force will rush to Taiyuan City to participate in the subsequent defense of the city."

"If the plague hadn't broken out, I would have fought the enemy to the end. But we suffered heavy losses in the previous plague. One battalion of soldiers was lost. I only have three battalions of soldiers available. I will keep one battalion infected with the plague and another battalion that is normal. There will be no problem with the two battalions holding out for a day. After a day, no matter how fast the enemy's mechanized troops run, they will not be able to catch up with us."

"Immediately convey my order and have the Inoue Battalion and the Nomura Battalion follow me and leave immediately. They must rush to Pingding County within three days to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to attack the gold mine."

Kojiro Morikawa listened to the order with excitement on his face: "Your Excellency Colonel, I will convey the order right away. I guarantee that the army will be able to leave in half an hour!"

Lin Zhenhua never dreamed that before he arrived at Shuiquan Oilfield, there was already a split among the Japanese. The cowardly Furuta Ichiro had already fled in advance, while Yamada Ichiro, who was determined to serve his country for the rest of his life, stayed fanatically, wanting to fight him to the death.

"College students, we just received intelligence from a reconnaissance plane that two battalions of Japanese soldiers have left Shuiquan Oilfield and are heading towards Pingding County. The garrison troops at Shuiquan Oilfield have been reduced from four battalions to two battalions, with a total of about 1800 people." Li Yunlong reported anxiously.

Lin Zhenhua put down the pencil in his hand and replied meaningfully: "Old Li, the Japanese have been scared out of their wits by us. They are about to give up the Shuiquan Oilfield. This is good news!"
