Chapter 216: The Battle of Java (6)

After negotiating with the navy, Luo Yue immediately rushed back to the farm, at this time it was more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the battlefield cleanup had basically ended, at this time Zhu Shoushan was organizing people to dig pits to bury the dead of the coalition army, but the dead of the people's army and the farm guard team were temporarily reined in, and then buried after the battle, and they were soldiers of the people's army, and after cremation, the ashes were taken back to Qingdao for burial.

Luo Yue immediately recruited the members of the group headquarters and the battalion commanders to arrange the battle plan for tonight, this operation, the first battalion was responsible for assaulting the positions of the Dutch coalition forces, and they would set off at 3 o'clock in the morning, enter the place within 5 kilometers of the Dutch coalition positions before 5 o'clock, and wait until the naval attack began, immediately advance to the positions of the Dutch coalition forces, and as soon as the naval attack ended, they would immediately launch an attack on the positions of the Dutch coalition forces. The regiment's 100 mortar battalion acted with the first battalion and, immediately after the naval attack, advanced to within range, and then launched artillery bombardment on the positions of the Dutch coalition forces to coordinate the naval attack.

The task of the 2nd Battalion was to go around to the rear of the Dutch positions and establish an ambush position between the Allied positions and Batavia, and when the Dutch positions were broken by the KPA, a large number of remnants would certainly retreat in the direction of Batavia, and they were responsible for ambushing the fleeing enemy forces halfway and annihilating the enemy as much as possible. However, due to the long march of the 2nd Battalion, they had to set off after dinner.

The third battalion followed up immediately after the first battalion broke through the Dutch coalition positions and expanded the results. As it was already dark, the farm guards also moved with the three battalions.

After receiving Luo Yue's order, each unit immediately prepared separately. At this time, it was also time for dinner, and Luo Yue was about to go to eat, when he saw Huang Qingping, the head of the medical team, come to Luo Yue with a young girl.

Huang Qingping is one of the medical personnel who crossed the army, she is not an ordinary nurse, but one of the backbone doctors of the medical team, the main business is the prevention of infectious diseases, and after the establishment of the East China government, she served in the Ministry of Health, and this time she was sent to be the head of the medical team of the Java Overseas Chinese Fleet.

And that young girl, Luo Yue also knows, her name is Li Lihua, she is a mixed race of Javanese Chinese and British, and she is one of the people rescued by the People's Army when it rescues Dagon Town, because she is half of Chinese ancestry, and her family is one of the largest foreign merchant families in Java, so the People's Army also counts her as a member of the Javanese Chinese.

It turned out that Li Lihua came to the farm with more than 20 children, and later with the arrival of the large army of the People's Army, there were more and more battles, and the number of wounded was also increasing in large numbers. In fact, the wounded of the People's Army and the Farm Guards are not too many, but there is a soldier of the People's Army who is sick and sick, and there are many sick Chinese who are sheltered.

In addition, among the indigenous captives captured by the People's Army, there are still a large number of wounded, and the People's Army has also treated these wounded out of humanitarian considerations, although their medical conditions may not be as good as those of the People's Army and the Chinese, but the basic treatment conditions can still be guaranteed, so there are also many injured indigenous captives who have saved their lives, and of course, some of the more seriously injured indigenous prisoners have also died.

Although the Zhang family prepared a large number of medicines on the farm, there was no shortage of them, but the more than 20 medical personnel brought from Qingdao were not enough, so the People's Army recruited a group of personnel to help among the Chinese in the shelter, and Li Lihua learned some nursing knowledge when she was studying in Europe, so she also joined the medical staff and helped the People's Army a lot. Because Li Lihua has the experience of studying in Europe, she is a new woman in this era, and she has a cheerful personality and is very caring, Huang Qingping also has a good impression of her, and most of the officers and soldiers of the People's Army know Li Lihua.

Seeing the two of them coming to find him, Luo Yue couldn't help but be a little strange, and said, "Doctor Huang, is there something wrong with you looking for Sheng?"

Huang Qingping nodded and said, "Commander Luo, there are too many injured people today, there are more than 200 of us alone, of which there are at least 100 people who are seriously injured and need to be treated, and the beds in our hospital are already insufficient." ”

Luo Yue listened, and didn't feel a little headache, the medical problem is indeed the most insufficient part of the preparation in advance in this overseas Chinese protection operation, so after arriving in Java, there are also the most problems, beds are one of them, the farm house Bi Jing is limited, originally only planned to allocate 5 rooms to the hospital, and later due to the increase in the number of wounded, 4 rooms were added, but I can't imagine that the beds are still not enough now.

But now that there is a problem, it still has to be solved one by one, so Luo Yue thought about it for a while and said, "If you haven't found Zhu Shoushan, can you pull out a few more rooms for the hospital." ”

Huang Qingping shook her head and said, "We have already looked for him, and he also said that at most, we can only pull out one more room, because there is really no room on the farm, and this room only has 40 beds at most, at least 50 beds short." Now that I have ordered a group of natives who are in slightly better condition to be removed, I can basically resettle all the wounded this time, but there will be another war in the future, and there will be sick among our personnel, so there is really no way to do it at that time. ”

Luo Yue thought that this was also a problem, because there was another big battle to be fought tonight, and no matter whether he won or lost, there would definitely be a lot of wounded, so Luo Yue pondered for a while and said, "How many indigenous wounded people are there in the hospital now?"

Huang Qingping said: "There are more than 80 people. ”

Luo Yue said: "Then how about transferring all the indigenous wounded to the outside shack and making all the beds in the room ready for the wounded in the future?"

Huang Qingping smiled bitterly and said: "Now even the shacks outside are not enough, this time in addition to our own wounded, the indigenous wounded have increased by more than 3,600 people, of which more than 300 people need bed treatment, and at least 20 shacks are needed to be enough." It's not easy to build another 20 shacks on the farm now. ”

Now the total number of people on the farm has reached more than 16,000 people, which is indeed a great burden on the farm, the square in front of the inner city has been occupied, and even the livestock shed has occupied half of it. But by this time, the Zhang family had already paid a great price, and it was impossible for the People's Army to demand that the Zhang family eradicate other crops, and some crops were not planted on suitable sites for building shacks.

When Luo Yue heard this, he didn't feel even more headache, it seems that it is indeed not an easy thing to take charge of himself, in addition to fighting, there are also a lot of messy things to deal with, and now there is really no way, after all, you can't throw these indigenous wounded out of the farm and let them fend for themselves.

At this time, Huang Qingping also saw that Luo Yue was helpless, and said: "Regiment leader, just now Miss Lihua came up with a way to place some of the indigenous wounded in Dagong Town, I don't know what you think of this method." ”

Luo Yue thought for a while, then looked at Li Lihua, and Li Lihua said: "Captain Luo, there is a church and a hospital in Dagon Town, both of which are my family's property, I can guarantee that they will accept the wounded, and now there are some vacant rooms in the town, which can accommodate the next part of the wounded, at least to relieve the pressure on the farm." ”

At this time, Luo Yuezhi also figured out that Li Lihua's suggestion was indeed a good way, not only to resettle some of the indigenous wounded, but also to send back all the Chinese in Dagong Town, so as to make a lot of space for the farm. And after the battle tonight, it is estimated that the natives will not dare to plunder the Chinese again, so even if the Chinese are sent back to Dagon Town, and some soldiers are stationed in Dagon Town, there will be no danger, and Dagon Town is only more than 20 kilometers away from the farm, if something major really happens, it will be too late for the farm to send troops to rescue. Provided, of course, that tonight's battle is the desired victory.

So Luo Yue said: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Steward Zhu in a while, if we discuss it, we will notify Miss Li, and it's getting late today, I will arrange for people to go to Dagong Town early tomorrow morning to have a look, and if the situation is okay, I will arrange some of the wounded to go over." After a pause, he said, "But tomorrow I will ask Miss Li to make a hard trip, but I will send troops to protect Miss Li, so I don't have to worry about safety." ”

Li Lihua nodded and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for the news from Head Luo." ”

Luo Yue said to Huang Qingping again: "Doctor Huang, can you survive tonight?"

Huang Qingping sighed and said: "I can only leave it to fate, the temperature in Java is very high, it doesn't matter if you sleep in the open air, if it doesn't rain, it's not a big problem, but if it rains, it's hard to say." ”

After Huang Qingping and Li Lihua left, Luo Yue found Zhu Shoushan again and told him Li Lihua's suggestion, and at the same time said his own thoughts, and after Zhu Shoushan heard it, he also agreed with this suggestion, because now the farm is really unable to accommodate more people, and it is of course a good thing to be able to free up some people. Moreover, the Zhang family also has two shops in Dagong Town, which can not only accommodate some wounded, but also arrange some personnel to help the People's Army manage in Dagong Town.

After listening to Zhu Shoushan's words, Luo Yue was also relieved, and immediately asked Zhu Shoushan to arrange some personnel to go to Dagong Town with Li Lihua early tomorrow morning.

And after dinner, the second battalion left the farm first, and the rest of the soldiers began to rest, just waiting for the evening battle.
