Section 35 Post-War (2)
"It's not going to kill us."
"Hey, my mother must be in a hurry." Marpong began to wipe away tears.
Fu Fuji is not a taste, you have a wife, I have a family! The wife is also forgotten, he is reluctant to get a few concubines, especially the third concubine is still from Guangzhou, although she is older, in the end it is the original courtyard (note: it is a high-end brothel, the so-called courtyard at that time. The older age here is according to the standards of the Ming Dynasty, and the woman is twenty-seven or eighteen even if she is a), dressed in style, and can sing small songs, I don't know how much better than the local country girl, and I am fascinated by the old man.
Thinking that his son is young, and his daughter can't afford to go back, if he can't go back, won't the accumulated family property be embezzled by those uncles and brothers of the same clan? It's not a day or two that I've been reddened by the eyes of my fellow sects. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. Seeing that he couldn't see the surroundings closely, only the two young pirates watched, so he touched around himself, and found some scattered silver taels for him, a total of two taels, and he was afraid that it would not be enough, so he also took off his own gold-plated silver mesh scarf ring - this is estimated to be worth two or three dollars, and he looked at it for a long time. Thinking about buying a person for more than two taels of silver, this price is estimated to be enough, and these little minions will not have too much appetite.
Fu Buji plucked up his courage, trembling next to the young pirate with the bird gun, and put the silver together, he could speak some Cantonese dialect, but obviously the young man didn't understand, so he had to point to himself, and then to the outside, and made a running motion
But the young man gestured at him with a sword-like bird's gun, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, but he didn't dare to retract his hand with the silver—forget it, it wouldn't be his own after a search, and it would be better to take care of it. The boy did not take his money, but only motioned for him to take it back, and pointed to his injured leg and the big tent beside him. Fu Fuji knew that it meant that he was going to wait here for healing.
It was not until the evening that the medical team finished treating the wounded. Fu Buji had more than a dozen stitches in his leg - the man was lucky for the doctor, the bullet penetrated the muscles, did not remain in his body, and did not break bones or blood vessels. But it was a completely new experience for Fu Fuji, who for the first time learned that the flesh could be sewn up like a tailor sewing clothes, even though he screamed to death when he sewed it.
Two-thirds of the more than 30 seriously injured had died while waiting, and the doctors felt that there was little hope for treatment after looking at the rest: there was no plasma, there was a lack of qualified nurses, and it was difficult for these people to survive on the operating table.
"Let the military team give them a treat." The hippopotamus knows that with the extreme preciousness of materials, it is unlikely that he will be able to use limited medical resources to treat these people.
Shi Yuanren pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor." They can hold up from noon to now, and their vitality is strong enough, let's try it. ”
"But there is no plasma, and I have to find someone to donate blood. ...... to take a blood test"
"Just use normal saline," Shi Yuanren made up his mind, "There is no need for anesthetics, whether they can survive depends on their luck." ”
"This ...... The ...... "The people in the medical team were stunned, there was no anesthetic, no plasma, and operating on these seriously injured and blood-lossed, some people who were already unconscious, wasn't it tantamount to murder?"
"Didn't they all say it, dead horses should be live horse doctors, and whether they can live or not depends on their creation." Shi Yuanren still has something to say: instead of watching them die, it is better to die on the operating table to calm his heart a little. He had something that he couldn't even say, and by the way, let everyone practice surgery.
"Come on, let's do it." With his greeting, the medical team that had been busy for most of the day began to get busy again, but the medical staff was really insufficient, especially the nurses, so they had to ask the doctor to help the doctor, Zuihou even the veterinarian Dr. Yang was also called, he just helped the three captured horses to see the injuries, and by the way treated their horse disease,
"Lao Yang, will you give someone a knife?"
"I'll operate on the horse...... Yang Guigui joked, "I'll do the work of debridement, disinfection and suturing the wound, this is pretty much the same." By the way, I can also do an amputation. ”
"Let's do it."
At the post-war review meeting held in the evening, five major problems were sorted out in the light of the actual situation exposed during the battle.
First, military training is insufficient, and the will to fight is very poor. Most people are not only unskilled in guns, but also have too many ineffective shots. At the slightest danger, it could not hold out, and even though it resisted with the help of the fortifications, there was a rout. It's hard to say what would have happened if it had happened in the wild.
Second, the organization is extremely poor, and apart from the fact that the members of the military group are still able to effectively obey the command of the leaders of each group and fight, the military group is almost unable to command the temporarily organized masses. "The rabble", He Ming said at the summary meeting.
3. In terms of protection, the equipment of steel helmet + stab-proof suit has proven to be effective. However, the problem exposed by this battle is that the protective area is too small, and the limbs and face are lacking protection. Further protective products need to be developed.
Fourth, the strategy was too restrained, confining itself to Bairentan, and failing to take advantage of its superiority in firepower, communications, and mobility to take the initiative to attack, resulting in a situation in which they were passively attacked.
Fifth, the fortification of Bairen City is obviously insufficient and needs to be strengthened
But the focus of the meeting was on the strategic direction for the next steps.
The moderate faction still insists on taking the two points and one line as the main center of activities, strengthening the defense of the base, and after creating a fait accompli, the development of industry and jishu is the core, forming a complete urban and industrial and agricultural system, and forming a "bright light effect" with rich materials, superior life and advanced jishu, attracting local people to join the circulation and construction, and zuihou to achieve the purpose of "peace-peace-evolution-change".
The radicals ridiculed the moderates as a real "turtle stream", knowing that their own strength was greater than that of the other side for three centuries, but they were afraid of the enemy, and only cowered behind trenches and barbed wire, not daring to fight for the initiative. They reminded each other that if we didn't take the initiative to attack and destroy the local Ming ruling center, Lingao's resources would never be available to us. And this ruling center will organize all kinds of hostile activities again and again.
"Lingao County can launch such a two-way attack today, and tomorrow they may send someone to carry out a sneak attack, they have also done it before. And in the future, we will definitely leave the base farther and farther, to collect all kinds of materials, and rely on the military team to escort us every time? ”
The radicals enumerated the various advantages of occupying the county seat: first, they could capture a large number of manpower in the county town as labor, and secondly, they could collect taxes and grain through the captured service books, and they could also obtain a large amount of materials and money from the county treasury......
These benefits made many people excited, although the modeatists cited historical data and reality as weapons: tell them that there were not many residents in the city who could be arrested as coolies, and from the Ming Dynasty's Lingao County Chronicles, the county had not been very wealthy, and there would not be much material food in the county treasury.
At this time, Ma Qianzhuo, a representative of the radical faction, unexpectedly proposed to put this issue aside for the time being, and focus on solving the training and organizational problems exposed in this battle.
The training work was indeed blank: I went ashore for more than 10 days, worked every day, had no time at all, and had only done live target shooting once, and each person fired five rounds of ammunition made the Planning Committee cry out in distress, and 500 people had to get 2,500 rounds of ammunition. The biggest loss of the Travelers in this battle was their ammunition consumption, which consumed almost 3,000 rounds of ammunition in less than an hour before and after, which is a considerable number. And the total stock of bullets is only one million rounds...... With so many bullets used in this kind of training and small battles, how will the next battle be fought? When will metal cartridges be produced?
As for the organizational problem, it is clear that there is a direct link to the lack of military training. Xiao Zishan proposed at the meeting: All professional groups performed well in the battle, which is obviously the result of working together and getting familiar with each other. The problem arises mainly from the various so-called "basic labour groups" that are temporarily organized on a daily basis. This kind of group was established at the beginning of the fixed formation, but the actual situation is that it is temporarily formed every day according to the deployment of the human resources department, and as a result, everyone is not familiar with each other, and there is a lack of trust, and it is difficult to unite when they are in a critical situation.
After discussion, the Executive Committee reaffirmed the group's plan: all the traversers, except for the family unit, single people on the premise of free combination, set up a fixed group of four, each group elected a team leader to be responsible, participate in the labor together, and the housing should be arranged in the same dormitory as much as possible. Friendship is strengthened by eating, living and working together - the relationship between the dormitory brothers in the university is relatively iron.
Each team is assigned an SKS rifle as the group's equipment, so that everyone has the opportunity to practice with the rifle in peacetime, that is, to avoid the wartime shooting, everyone is not familiar with the weapon, and to prevent each person from having a rifle, resulting in a situation where the arms are out of control.
With these groups as the basic unit, a certain amount of time is set aside each week for military training to enhance the level of coordination between them. Immediately afterwards, Bei Wei threw out a new training jihua: "hunting".
"Every time our military team dispatches 5 people, and then brings 2~3 ordinary teams," he explained in detail, "departing from our current mode of only operating along the Wenlan River, we will conduct reconnaissance in depth in all directions, correct the map, and inventory all kinds of resources."
The group will capture individual or small groups of pedestrians when marching, and when necessary, attack various armed personnel in the local area, and train the team through combat, so as to train while walking, which is closer to actual combat than walking in the base to practice target shooting. Spread the authority of the traverser to all corners of the county, so that the common people know of their arrival, and spread the necessary terror.
This jihua obviously smelled of blood, but the moderates decided not to object, after all, the reality of twenty-one people being injured was there, and if this jihua were to be vetoed, the radicals would inevitably throw out the proposal to attack Lingao County again, and with the current mood, the moderates did not feel that they would win the vote. The Zuihou moderates agreed with this "hunting" jihua, as the radicals no longer proposed a compromise to capture the county seat.
