The people sat huddled together in twos and threes, looking miserable, everyone's eyes were full of reluctance, and it was really not easy to persuade these people to leave.

"Chief Li, I have investigated, these people are all from the same surname clan, and they have lived in Zhuang County for several generations, they say that the ancestors have rules, and even if they die, they have to keep the clan business......" Hu Wenchang reminded Li Hong's ear.

"The little devils have all entered the city, what do they rely on to keep the clan business by a group of unarmed people?"

Li Hong is the kind of style of doing things that is better to die than to live, obviously he does not understand this stubborn traditional concept, of course, it is normal for people in this era to have this kind of thinking.

"Sir Li, it's really not good, let's tie them up and move them out of the city." Hu Wenchang suggested in a low voice.

"We are soldiers, what have we done by doing this, and what is the difference between us and the old warlords and bandits? Who will provide support for our future supplies, money, and food? ”

Li Hong shook his head helplessly and disagreed, now he has to be both a military commander and a political commissar, it is really too difficult.

Fortunately, Li Hong had worked as a MLM lecturer and sales before running the show, and his eloquence and kung fu were not bad, which would come in handy.

He strode up to the civilians, saluted the military, and said apologetically: "Fellow villagers, I am Li Hong, the head of the security regiment, and I was ordered by the commander of the Second War Zone to garrison Zhuang County. ”

At this time, a gray-haired old man walked up to Li Hong tremblingly on crutches.

"This Chief Li doesn't have to blame himself, the soldiers of your security regiment have suffered heavy casualties in the fierce battle with the Japanese invaders for many days, the people of Zhuang County can see it, and the old man admires a soldier like you, on behalf of the clan and the young and old, I thank you for the security regiment."

"Sir Li, the old man knows your intention, our family surnamed Jiang has lived in Zhuang County for generations since the Jiaqing period, and now the Japanese invaders have broken the city, and the old man has the heart to lead the clan to fight to the death with the Japanese invaders, and I also ask Chief Li to fulfill the old man's pedantic loyalty."

The old man is the patriarch of the Jiang family, showing a bit of the patriarch's temperament, but he is quite stubborn when he speaks.

"Patriarch, you are a respected veteran in the clan, you have the heart to kill the Kou, I admire your family surnamed Jiang."

Li Hong clenched his fists at the old man, and continued in a serious voice: "Patriarch, you listen to me Li Hong, we can rebuild these family business jars and jars if they are broken, we can go back to the countryside if the city is broken, and if the countryside is not good, we will go up the mountain, the little devil is a rabbit's tail can't grow, I don't care about fighting with them for a few more years......"

"Chief Li, you understand what you said, but as the patriarch, how dare you abandon your family and business and violate the teachings of your ancestors......" The old man sighed and bit his head.

"Patriarch, the ancestral testament must be strictly observed, but you also have to think about the lives of the entire clan, stay here, how will your family surnamed Jiang survive in the future?"

"Don't worry about the gains and losses of an inch and a piece of land, you are just a temporary transfer, didn't the ancestor say, stay in the green mountains and not be afraid of no firewood! I, Li Hong, will give you the surname Jiang today as a basis, and when I fight away from Little Japan in the future, I Li Hong will come back with the troops and rebuild your homeland! ”

Li Hong said some heroic words, then took out a pen and paper, and prepared to write a letter of oath.

"Chief Li, this can't be helped, you must not ......"

The old man held Li Hong's hand, wiped a handful of old tears from the corners of his eyes, and made a difficult decision.

"Listen, I, the Jiang family, Chief Li is a righteous and trustworthy soldier, we can't stay here and become a burden, everyone immediately move out of the city!" The old man said loudly to everyone in the clan.

"Folks, thank you for your cooperation!"

Li Hong raised his hand and gave a long military salute to the civilians.

Carrying large bags and small bags, the civilians pushed unicycles and drove horse-drawn carts and donkey carts out of the city from the west gate.

Now the military and political offices and civilians in the city have been transferred, and only the medical staff of the hospital remain in the city to treat the wounded.

There were less than 10 people left in the several medical teams of the security regiment, and many team doctors and medical guards died in the fighting.

Today is the fourth day that the security regiment has received the order to defend Zhuang County, and Li Hong and his team need to guard until 12 o'clock tomorrow night before they can complete the task of holding on.

Li Hong can think of the follow-up battle situation, and in the next dozens of hours, the battle will be more intense, and the casualties will be greater.

Thinking of going, he decided to go to the hospital himself and notify the hospital in advance to transfer the wounded soldiers.

On Li Hong's way to the hospital, there was a burst of gunfire on the street, and the second battalion and cavalry battalion of the security regiment guarding the central street exchanged fire with the little devils again.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Hearing the sound of gunfire in the distance, Li Hong was not worried that the little devil would launch a large-scale onslaught.

Because the gunfire is not very dense, a little experienced veteran knows that this is a small-scale firefight.

The firefighting lasted less than ten minutes before it stopped.

Li Hong rode a three-wheeled straddle, avoided the obstacles that fell on the side of the street, and quickly drove a motorcycle to the hospital.

"Tuanza, Tuanza!"

Guarding the entrance of the hospital, several soldiers of the security regiment gave Li Hong a salute with guns.

The hospital is an important unit in the rear, and in order to protect the wounded and medical personnel, Li Hong sent an additional platoon of soldiers to guard it two days ago.

entered the hospital, and the scene in front of him made Li Hong's brows tighten.

Dozens of military tents stood at the entrance of the hospital, and the hospital was already full of wounded, so medical staff had no choice but to arrange for the wounded to be treated outside the hospital.

Li Hong saw Yu Xiaohui, who was holding gauze in his hand to bandage the wounded, and immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Nurse Xiaohui, where is your dean?"

Yu Xiaohui turned to look sideways at Li Hong, who was ragged and covered in scars, and said in surprise: "Li Datu...... Sir Li, why are you covered in injuries and not bandaged? ”

"Little injury, it's okay, I'm looking for your dean for something."

"Our dean is still operating, if you have anything to say, I can convey it to you later."

Yu Xiaohui is a very serious person, but the little nurse has a big mouth, and Li Hong will definitely not tell her about such a big thing as the transfer of the hospital.

"Nurse Xiaohui, you're busy, I'll wait here."

"Okay."

Yu Xiaohui lowered her head and continued to bandage the wounded.

Li Hong sat in the corner, found a medical equipment tray, picked up scissors to cut the sleeve of the military uniform, cleaned the wound with disinfectant water, and then used a suture needle to stitch the wound for himself.

Chen Shujun finished taking bullets and shrapnel from several wounded people, and just walked out of the operating room, she suddenly saw Li Hong not far away stitching up her wounds.

"I'll help you."

Li Hong stopped his hand, raised his head and looked at Chen Shujun who was squatting next to her, her eyes were red, and there was a trace of exhaustion on her delicate face.

The two stared at each other closely, and there seemed to be something unspeakable in their eyes.

Chen Shujun deliberately set aside Li Hong's gaze and asked shyly, "Why are you staring at me so directly?" ”

"You are beautiful, and everyone has a love for beauty, can't I look at the swans more than I can?" Li Hong smiled evilly, and Chen Shujun, who was staring at him, blushed.

"You have so many wounds on your body, and you are in a stinky mood." Chen Shujun glanced at him with his eyes, and carefully helped Li Hong clean his wounds: "What about the team doctor of your medical team?" ”

"The battle was so fierce that many doctors and paramedics died." Li Hong replied casually.

After Chen Shujun cleaned Li Hong's wounds, she frowned and said: "You have a few knife wounds on your body that are quite deep, and there are still a few pieces of shrapnel embedded in your body, I will give you anesthesia first, and then I will help you take out the shrapnel later." ”

Li Hong shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "I don't need anesthesia, leave the anesthetic to the other soldiers." ”

"No anesthesia?" Chen Shujun looked at Li Hong in surprise, with an expression of looking at a monster, and she continued: "Without anesthesia, can you endure it?" You don't want to be a hero. ”

"Don't you know that I'm the kind of person who likes to pretend to be a hero?" Li Hong smiled easily, and after a while, he said seriously: "Come on, it's okay, you don't hurt to cut my flesh anyway, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Okay."

Seeing that Li Hong insisted on giving up persuasion, Chen Shujun picked up a sharp and small scalpel and skillfully cut the muscles of Li Hong's arm, and a stream of blood flowed out of the wound.

Li Hong insisted on not using anesthetics, in addition to the analgesic effect of magenta in the body, because anesthetics would have a certain impact on the nerves, he was a commander who needed to command the battle, and the nerves in the brain must be awake at all times.

Chen Shujun stared at Li Hong's wound, first cleaned up the bruises with cotton, and then picked up tweezers and carefully pinched out the shrapnel embedded in the muscle.

A blood-stained shrapnel fell crisply into the operating tray with a "dang" sound.

Every time she took shrapnel, Chen Shujun seemed very careful, and she did not hesitate or be nervous when she took shrapnel, so as to minimize Li Hong's pain.

Li Hong ignored the pain brought by his body, with an indifferent expression, and said slowly: "Chen Shujun, there is something for you to tell you, you tell your dean, your whole hospital must be transferred out of the city at night, and I will send someone to escort you to transfer with you." ”

Chen Shujun didn't seem to hear Li Hong's words, she abandoned the influence of the outside world, and just lowered her head and concentrated on the meticulous operation.

After more than an hour, there were five more shrapnel on the operating plate, all of which were taken from Li Hong's body.

Although these shrapnel are not deeply embedded in the body and will not endanger his life, Chen Shujun looked at Li Hong covered in scars, and felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart, and there was a trace of pity on his tired face.

"Chen Shujun, did you hear what I just said?"

Chen Shujun put the scalpel and forceps back into the operating plate, picked up the surgical forceps and began to suture every wound on Li Hong's body.

After the wound was stitched up, she sprinkled anti-inflammatory drugs on the wound again, and finally bandaged it quickly with gauze.
