Xiao Ju is the leader of this medical team, how can she not feel heartache when she sees the tragic situation of the medical soldiers under her command? However, in order to break through, Ye Tao fought with the enemy army for speed, and he had to find a way to break through before the enemy army had completely formed an encirclement, so it was impossible to slow down and wait for the soldiers and medical soldiers who were left behind. At this critical juncture, being left behind means death.

Xiao Ju had no choice but to let the weak medic try to reduce the things on his body as much as possible, and each medic with a strong physique tried to take a weak physique away. And all the important medical supplies and equipment are gathered here in Xiaoju, and she will carry them on her back.

Originally, Hu Ming, Sun Min, Zhao Zhi, and Zhao Cong did not agree with Xiao Ju doing this, and they thought in their hearts that all the medical personnel together were not as important as Xiao Ju. Because only Xiaoju can lead them to a completely different field of medicine.

Hu Ming took the lead and wanted to share the burden for Xiao Ju, but Xiao Ju disagreed, she was naturally not so stupid, she would really run away with so many things on her back, and she only carried a short distance, and quietly collected most of the things into a small space. And Hu Ming and the others just watched Xiao Ju carry so many things on his back, not only did he still maintain the speed of the march, but he didn't look like he couldn't bear the weight at all.

These four people think about it again, and the rumors say that Dr. Hu is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also has high martial arts. In the past, they were a little skeptical, after all, people's energy is limited, and being able to learn medical skills to that height at a young age has already made them ashamed, and now looking at Xiaoju's state, they believe that Xiaoju's martial arts may not be weak, which makes their self-esteem of these big men very damaged.

Xiao Ju was in no mood to pay attention to the glass hearts of Hu Ming and the others. It's just that I'm secretly glad that I have placed my mother and Zhuang Zhuang early, and at this time, her ability is also limited, so she can only try to let everyone help the medical personnel who have fallen behind to catch up, after all, it is not easy to train a medical personnel. As for the soldiers. She wanted to help, but she couldn't do it.

And Ye Tao and the others found that the road back to the east had been blocked, so they decisively ordered the troops to retreat west. At the same time, let each column leave a division to contain the **.

Ye Tao led the soldiers of the first and fourth columns after a continuous rapid march, and finally arrived at Zhanjiahe on July 30. After crossing three rivers in a row, it seized the highlands north of the Great Ancient Forest.

On July 31, the 1st and 4th columns led by Ye Tao finally trekked through the Baima River depression, which was 4 kilometers wide and knee-high and waist-deep. At the same time, it broke through the encirclement and interception of the first one, and its difficult journey was no less than the Red Army's Long March that year.

On 1 August, the 1st and 4th Columns led by Ye Fei and Tao Yong on the southern front and the 3rd, 8th, and 10th columns led by Chen Shiqu and Tang Liang on the western front finally joined forces. Subsequently, on 3 August, the two outer front troops finally crossed the canal and entered the southwestern part of Shandong. Victorious rendezvous with Liu Deng's army.

The battlefield that Liu Deng's army was responsible for was different from the southern front where Xiaoju was located. The battle on this side of the Southern Front can be described as a loss. Not only Xiao Ju and the soldiers of the first and fourth columns thought so. Even the commanders Ye Fei and Tao Yong themselves knew that the attack on Teng and Zou counties was a failure, and the defeat of this campaign was inseparable from their lack of adequate estimation of the bad weather and its impact on the campaign.

They did not expect it at all, because of the rain for half a month in a row after the start of the operation. It will cause so much difficulty to the troops, because in rainy days, the roads are slippery and muddy, and every time the troop is moved, the transfer of the wounded, and the transportation of heavy weapons and ammunition cannot be completed in time, which delays the time of the battle and makes the siege more difficult.

In addition to the difficulty of the siege, because of the heavy rain, the cooks could not make fires or cook, so the soldiers had no choice but to feed their hunger with unripe raw ears of corn. And because of the continuous fighting in the rain, the clothes on the soldiers' bodies were rotten into strips of wet cloth, and their legs and feet were soaked in water for a long time, and they began to fester, and because of the rain, the ground was full of mud, and the soldiers could not be as tired as before, and they could find a place to lie down and rest in the field at will, and the soldiers' bodies became extremely tired because they could not rest.

As for the war zone, it was flooded, and most of the fortifications set up by the enemy, such as barbed wire and deer barricades, were flooded and it was difficult to eliminate them. When many soldiers attacked the city, they were injured by these barbed wire fences and deer barbed that were submerged in the water and were carried to the makeshift medical shed to receive medical care.

And the most annoying thing for the soldiers was that the earthen wall of the besieging city collapsed because of the blisters, and they tried to climb the city wall and enter the city, but they did not expect that their legs fell into the knee-deep thick mud and could not advance or retreat, but instead became a target for standing on the city wall and being hit by the enemy. What made the soldiers even more angry was that they braved the artillery fire and risked being the enemy's target to send them to the city wall and lay them down, so that the explosives that blew up the city wall could not be blown up because of moisture.

When these problems appeared, they were quickly reflected to Ye Fei and Tao Yong in a timely manner, but these two people are not like those officers in Xiao Ju's previous life, they all went to military schools, and they have been able to learn and train in advance for various situations that may arise on the battlefield.

And these problems encountered during the attack on Teng County and Zou County had never been encountered before, so they made Ye Tao and the others a little helpless, let alone find a way to avoid it, so as not to recur in this situation. Therefore, the defeat of the 1st and 4th columns of Huaye in capturing Teng County and Zou County was inevitable.

Ye Tao and the two of them also realized their own shortcomings through the battles of Guò Teng County and Zou County, while Xiao Ju really realized the cruelty of the war through the battles of Guò Teng County and Zou County, and felt helpless and sad that as a front-line medical worker on the battlefield due to the lack of medical equipment and lack of time, the rescue role that can be played is so small.

Not to mention that because of the extreme lack of medical personnel, the soldiers who could have saved their lives as long as they were rescued in time lost their young lives because they were not dealt with in time, which made Xiaoju from the first self-blame to the current numbness, because in that environment, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, and at the same time, everyone didn't know if it would be their turn to cross the battlefield in the next moment, and the initial unbearable and self-blame had to become numb with the reality of blood.

When Xiao Ju and other medical personnel followed the first and fourth columns of the southern line all the way from the east to the west, because of Xiao Ju's proper deployment and the mutual assistance between medical personnel, although the wolf was unbearable all the way, after all, no medical staff died at the hands of the enemy because they fell behind. This is the only thing that makes Xiaoju feel gratified.

When the first and fourth columns finally met with Liu Deng's army in the southwest of Shandong, Xiao Ju thought that the troops would definitely go through a period of rest and recuperation before they would continue to fight with **. The main thing is that she is worried about Niang and Zhuangzhuang, I don't know if the Zhoujiazhuang where they are hiding has passed by, and whether the identities of Niang and Zhuang Zhuang will be discovered and leaked by someone with a heart, and then it will also affect Zhou Dayong's family......

But Xiaoju also clearly knows that even if the troops are resting, it is impossible for her to take Niang and Zhuang Zhuang over, the current battle situation is so tense, and the troops may go to war with ** at any time, and it is safer for Niang and Zhuang Zhuang to stay in that Zhoujiazhuang.

The two outer battles of the Huaye Shandong Field Army were defeated because of the favorable time, place, and people, but on the side of southwest Lu, Liu Deng's army won a series of great victories, and within a month, it annihilated nine and a half brigades and 50,000 or 60,000 people, which shook the Kuomintang government at that time.

Therefore, when Chen Yi and Su Yu came to the location of the outer line corps, not only the soldiers complained about them, but even Ye Fei, Tao Yong, Chen Shiqu, and Tang Liang, who led the southern and western front columns to fight, were also full of complaints.

On this day, at the summary meeting of the top leadership of the East China Field Army on this campaign, Chen Shiqu first stood up and said, "The two of you are strategizing, you probably don't know that the outside line is tired of running for your life, right? At the same time, Chen Shiqu also read out the soldiers' compilation in front of all the meeting personnel, "Sports warfare, sports warfare, only transportation but not fighting." I walk in a circle, and the enemy walks in a straight line. The enemy goes one, we go three. Day and night, exhausting. If it goes on like this, it can only be dragged to death. Rather than dragging to death, it is better to kill. ”

When all the high-level leaders of the army heard Chen Shiqu's words, they did not say anything. And Ye Fei also stood up and said, "Comrade Chen Shiqu, our southern line is even more miserable!" There is a lot of water in southwest Lu, and even the loaches have become dragons. Wu Huawen used to be a defeated soldier under our men, but this time it was good, but now he dares to chase after our ass, and he also chased us everywhere, hiding everywhere. What a fucking shame! And I, Ye Fei, was also nicknamed by the enemy, do you know? My name is bread! I was called bread by those guys! Ye Fei said that later, his face was distressed.

Tao Yong took Ye Fei's words and said, "You are called bread, although the bread is a little loose, but it is dry goods." I'm Tao Yong, but my name is gone! It was named watermelon by others! ”

The people in the conference room listened to Ye Fei and Tao Yong's words, and everyone couldn't help but show a smile on their faces, which made people seem to be a little helpless in addition to the heaviness since the defeat in the battle. The solemn and heavy atmosphere in the conference room was loosened a little.

But Wang Bicheng's outspoken words once again solidified the atmosphere of the venue, "In the past, his subordinates were defeated, but now they are chasing us everywhere!" Like the defeat of the Inner Line Corps, Comrade Su Yu should bear full responsibility. And for the defeat of the outer line corps, Su Yu and Comrade Chen Yi are equally responsible! ”

Soon, there were different views on the issue of responsibility, and the atmosphere at the meeting was tense. Xiao Ju, who was only a medical staff at a high point in the medical team, naturally did not know about the disagreements and controversies in the top echelons of the troops, and even less did he know anything about the next move discussed by the generals who decided the fate of the soldiers and the future direction of China.

At this time, Xiaoju was staying in the temporary operating shed of the army, discussing and summarizing the gains and losses of the trip to Lunan with the medical team she led in charge of the medical treatment of the Western Front column. It's just that unlike the tense atmosphere of the meeting of the senior leaders, the atmosphere in Xiaoju's operating room is relaxed, and even a little warm.
