The weapons and personnel are more elite, but the number is smaller. If the Chinese army enters the city and engages in street fighting little by little, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Once the casualties are too large, even if it fully occupies the place, it will be difficult for them to continue to advance.
Therefore, Su Zhizhen hoped to find a way to quickly eliminate the enemy. Although he knew that Fang Ruijun wanted to preserve this industrial zone, for the sake of future victory, he had no choice but to use heavy artillery to destroy it.
After reporting the current difficulties to Fang Ruijun, a Behemoth 3 transport aircraft wing departing from China quickly transported many special artillery shells painted red. Along with them, a special artillery unit arrived
Troops, they are directly affiliated with the Second Artillery Corps. Soon the train will unload a batch of new 155mm howitzers from the seaport and load them onto the train. These guns have deeper and longer barrels and completely sealed guns.
The frame looks quite novel.
Under the escort of heavy troops, these artillery pieces were quickly transported to the front line. In addition to some soldiers of the Second Artillery Corps, the commander of the Second Artillery Corps, Second Class General Xiao Jun, also arrived with the artillery pieces.
"Old Xiao, why are you here?" Seeing Xiao Jun walking into the headquarters, Su Zhizhen was full of surprise. Unexpectedly, asking for instructions on the battle plan actually attracted the commander of the Second Artillery Corps.
"At the young master's request, I came to personally supervise this battle, because our Second Artillery will use a special weapon this time, and I must personally command it, because once something goes wrong, it can easily lead to unforeseen major events.
"Xiao Jun said it quite seriously, which made Su Zhizhen's face straighten.
"What special weapon are you going to use? If there is such a powerful weapon, why didn't you use it earlier?" Su Zhizhen asked.
Xiao Jun looked at the left and right people with a smile: "Young Master has always hoped that we would keep the industrial area while wiping out the Bostonians. This is the largest industrial area in the Boston Empire and controls half of the heavy industry in the Boston Empire. This is
You should be very clear about the weight of it."
Su Zhizhen nodded and said: "Yes, if we can obtain this place, we can become self-sufficient in the supply of weapons and equipment in the New World in a short time. This will greatly reduce the transportation intensity of the logistics force. But this will eliminate the Bostonians.
But it is too difficult to preserve the industrial area."
Xiao Jun said: "So we are here. We have brought the latest weapons secretly developed in China. This weapon can kill people invisible without damaging other facilities. However, this weapon is very dangerous and is equally effective against our troops.
So we have to prepare ourselves first."
"Could it be a chemical weapon that was used in the Japanese country?" Su Zhizhen looked at it with suspicion. As a senior military official, he still knew the secrets of the year.
"No, chemical weapons are easy to detect and can be used to manipulate others. What I brought this time is a virus, which is a biological weapon." Xiao Jun said in a low voice.
"Biological weapon? Virus?" Su Zhizhen exclaimed. This kind of weapon was unheard of even in his capacity as the commander-in-chief of the army.
"Keep your voice down, it will be serious if others find out." Xiao Jun was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, and Su Zhizhen, who lost his composure, quickly covered his mouth.
The original international convention only explicitly prohibited the use of chemical weapons, and in all the wars over the years, no country has used chemical weapons. The main reason is that everyone knows that this weapon was first invented by the Chinese Empire.
, and although they do not use it, they will never stop researching it. No matter how much research they do, countries will definitely not be able to surpass the Chinese Empire. And if they use their own chemical weapons, they will easily suffer retaliation from the Chinese Empire, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
The Chinese Empire has never admitted the use of chemical weapons in Japan because it does not want to damage the country's image. In all previous wars, the Chinese Empire has had an absolute advantage and does not need the help of chemical weapons. For the sake of its country's image, the Chinese Empire
The Empire will never use such a weapon again.
Biological weapons are somewhat different. This kind of weapon itself spreads viruses. Viruses are inherent species in nature. As long as the Chinese Empire does not recognize it, no one can accuse the Chinese Empire, because they can use plague to excuse it.
After a series of wars, many people died. If these corpses were not buried, they would easily rot and produce a large amount of viruses. The viruses spread through the air, so it is normal for epidemics to occur.
With such a concealment advantage, Fang Ruijun naturally took out this weapon. A few days later, the Chinese Imperial Army entered the area near Fort Doyle on the edge of Chicago's industrial area. They used artillery to target the outskirts of Fort Doyle and more than a dozen other cities.
An exploratory bombardment was carried out.
Most people did not notice that among the artillerymen who fired the shells, some wore completely sealed rubber clothing and carried oxygen bottles on their backs. They all carefully handled the red shells, as if they were afraid of any danger.
Next to those strange artillerymen, there were many people carrying large cans. They were also wearing rubber sealing suits. After firing ten rounds of artillery shells, they all rushed up, pressing the switch on the tube with one hand, and using the other hand as if spraying pesticide on a fruit tree.
The nozzle sprayed randomly near the cannon.
The Chinese Empire's bombardment left the Bostonians a little confused. They didn't understand why all the troops retreated into the city. The Chinese Empire only fired artillery shells at the edge of the city, and only a handful of shells fell into the city. In the end, they all agreed
I believe that the Chinese Empire is testing a minefield.
The Bostonians did lay some mines, but this was on their own land after all, and the Bostonians did not want to leave too many hidden dangers, so they only laid a few minefields, and those heavy artillery shells did explode.
Few, but detonating landmines is not the ultimate goal of the Chinese army.
Among the few hundred rounds of artillery shells that fell into several nearby cities during the shelling, 80% were special artillery shells made of ceramic linings. The metal shells of these shells were first exploded by a small amount of explosives in the air, and the ceramic part of the inner liner was
It did not explode after landing, but was directly smashed. When people were hiding in strong houses or fortifications to avoid the bombardment, no one saw countless fleas and cockroaches jumping out of the shattered ceramic bombs.
.
"What kind of viruses are you launching?" Su Zhizhen deliberately kept the guards far away before she dared to ask Xiao Jun in a low voice.
Xiao Jun, who was standing on the battlefield, replied in a low voice: "We came out this time to experiment with new weapons. We need to observe the effects of various viruses, so we cannot release too many types at one time. This time we only released two.
The viruses are Vibrio cholerae and Salmonella typhi."
"How should we defend ourselves against the virus? Don't let ourselves suffer." Su Zhizhen is most concerned about not harming her own people.
"This is easy to handle. You see, I have brought so many people. In fact, biological artillery only accounts for a small part. Most of them are specialized double defense soldiers. They can prevent chemical weapons and prevent the spread of biological weapons.
, as long as all soldiers are vaccinated in advance, everything will be fine, and now they are doing it in the name of physical examination."
The Chinese army did not continue to advance. The entire army camped on the spot. All troops were in a state of rest except for being on alert. This made the troops who had fought so many battles with high intensity very uncomfortable. A group of officers asked Su Zhizhen to fight every day, but they all failed.
After being reprimanded, Su Zhizhen told them that there had been too many casualties in recent wars, and plague could easily occur. The Chinese army had to conduct health inspections to avoid the formation of plague. At the same time, the troops continued to fight with high intensity and needed a good rest.
The soldiers were exhausted.
Taking advantage of this break, Su Zhizhen conducted a military health inspection. Not only did they eliminate dead spots in the camp, but many people wearing rubber sealing suits buried quicklime and poured disinfectant around the camp, and the soldiers were also
It is strictly forbidden to drink raw water, and good hygiene habits must be maintained. Everyone is very surprised that the battle is going well, why they suddenly start to practice hygiene, and it is still in a temporary camp, which makes officers at all levels confused.
However, in more than a dozen cities including Fort Dodge, unpredictable epidemics have occurred. The virus that has been specially activated by scientists has become much more transmissible, and its condition at the time of onset has also been strengthened.
The day after the brain bombardment, an epidemic broke out among Boston residents, and some people began to have diarrhea. When it first appeared, people thought it was due to drinking raw water, and diarrhea, a common disease, was not a big deal.
So no one paid attention to it, but soon things went wrong.
In those cities that were attacked by biological weapons, people with diarrhea were never cured. They had more and more diarrhea, and they were also accompanied by vomiting. Soon the whole city was full of people with diarrhea, and there was no time to deal with it.
The feces made these cities smell so bad that people who were not sick felt like they were about to vomit. The disease quickly worsened as it spread rapidly. Those who first started having diarrhea began to have blood in their stools, and most of them had deep eye sockets.
Symptoms include sagging, hoarseness, dry skin, and often even muscle spasms.
When the earliest people with diarrhea died, people began to panic. They realized that this was not an ordinary diarrhea, but the arrival of a plague. The Boston army had already mixed into civilian operations, and they did not take any preventive measures. Soon
Diarrhea also occurred among soldiers. Under the influence of Vibrio cholerae, more and more people died of diarrhea. At this time, the Boston commander finally realized that this phenomenon in the city was not caused by bad food.
Something so simple, but a large-scale plague broke out, but by this time it was too late.
