At the headquarters of the Laiyuan City Garrison Regiment, political commissar Wang Hong was thinking about how to resume production in the base area after the end of the anti-sweep.

The operator burst in.

No...... To be precise, it should be a break-in, without knocking on the door or shouting a report, just pushing the door and rushing in.

"Commissar, something happened to the regiment commander!"

The operator was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Wang Hong didn't even look at the newspaper operator, and directly shook his head and retorted: "It's impossible." ”

"More than an hour ago, it was clear that the regiment commander had received a telegram that the troops had successfully killed the Japanese Watanabe Wing, won this counter-sweep, and were on their way to withdraw to the base area."

"The Japanese have retreated, what can happen?"

The telegraph operator hurriedly handed the telegram to the political commissar, and then said with great certainty: "Political commissar, this is a telegram signed by the chief of staff himself, and there is certainly nothing wrong with it." ”

"The troops were bombed by devil planes and sneak attacks by small groups of troops on the way to retreat, and the regiment commander was seriously injured and in critical condition and urgently needed surgery."

"The commando team and the reconnaissance company rushed back with the regiment commander, and the chief of staff asked us to prepare doctors and medicines, and when the regiment commander returned, we would perform surgery to prevent accidents."

"What?"

Wang Hong also panicked, and snatched the telegram handed over by the telegrapher.

After seeing half of the whole person, he was not good, and scolded loudly: "What is Sun Jiawu doing to eat, as well as the commando team and the reconnaissance company, so many people can't even protect the regiment commander, if something happens to the regiment commander, I will definitely shoot him!" ”

The operator hesitated for a moment and replied: "Political commissar, the commander of the guard battalion Sun Jiawu has already died, and there is a report on the back of the telegram that he was hit by a shell when he was protecting the transfer of the regiment commander, and it was a heavy mortar shell, and he died on the spot." ”

"What?"

Wang Hong's face was even more ugly, so he hurriedly continued to look at it.

Just now, when I saw that the regiment commander was seriously injured, my anger surged up, and I didn't continue to look at it.

After reading it, I found that things were far worse than I imagined, in addition to the regiment commander who was seriously injured and the guard battalion commander who died, there were nearly 500 soldiers who died and more than 100 people who were seriously injured.

It is equivalent to the fact that after the regiment commander finished fighting the Watanabe Wing, the remaining troops were reduced by nearly half, and even the regiment commander himself was uncertain.

Wang Hong couldn't sit still, got up from his seat with a rub, and then began to give orders.

"Guard company, from now on, the regimental headquarters will be on increased alert, and it can only enter but not exit."

"Order the security department to immediately close the net and wipe out all the spies that have recently been exposed in the base area, especially the Japanese puppet army agents around the regiment headquarters."

"Order the hospital, prepare the best medicines, and all the doctors are on standby!"

"No, I'll do it myself, and I must give the regiment commander the best medicine."

"Also, immediately give a gag order to all the operators, without my order, no one can leak the news of the regiment commander's injury, otherwise military law will be involved."

At one o'clock in the morning, the commando team and the reconnaissance company entered Laiyuan City with Li Hao, who was covered in blood.

Wang Hong took all the doctors in the hospital to guard the door, preparing for the operation as soon as the person arrived.

Seeing Li Hao lying on the stretcher, Wang Hong almost didn't recognize it.

His uniform was blackened by artillery fire and blown to pieces.

The thighs, shoulders, and head are all bandaged, and the blood that is constantly oozing out has stained the bandages red?

The lips that should normally be red have become pale by this time.

Wang Hong has been on the battlefield for so many years, even if he doesn't understand medical skills, he knows that this is a symptom of excessive blood loss.

Looking at the doctor with the best medical skills around him, his brows furrowed obviously after seeing Li Hao.

"Political commissar, we didn't protect the head of the regiment well, ask for punishment!" Xiao Yuan saw that Wang Hong was stiff and didn't speak, so he immediately cried and pleaded guilty.

"You'll talk about it later!" Wang Hong replied very seriously.

"Doctor Wang, save people immediately, and you must save the head of the regiment at any cost."

"If you need anything, just tell me, if we don't have it, we will go to the superiors, the superiors will not go to the Jin Suijun, and if the Jin Suijun does not, we will go to the devil to rob it."

The wait was long, and it wasn't until six o'clock in the morning that the door to the operating room was pushed open.

Several of the doctors were tired, their faces solemn, and a hint of worry flashed between their eyebrows.

Wang Hong's heart jumped, and a hint of bad premonition flashed.

Staring at Dr. Wang, he asked, "How is the head of the regiment?" The operation was not successful! ”

"The operation was a success!" Dr. Wang affirmed, and then showed a look of wanting to say something.

Wang Hong was anxious: "Then why do you have this expression, shouldn't you be happy that the operation was successful?" Why don't you have a smile on your face? ”

Dr. Wang replied, "Commissar, this is the case. ”

"We have removed the shrapnel on the shoulders and thighs of the regiment commander, the stitches are also very good, the bleeding has stopped, and then as long as we do a good job of anti-inflammatory, the wound can be restored in three months at most."

"But we didn't dare to move a piece of shrapnel on our heads!"

"The wound is too close to the nerve in the brain, and once it is touched during the operation, the head of the regiment may never wake up."

"Wait!" Wang Hong interrupted suddenly.

"What you just said was that you didn't dare to touch this piece of shrapnel, it's not that you can't perform this operation. If you continue to do this surgery, you will be more or less sure that you will not touch the nerve. ”

Dr. Wang hesitated for a long time and replied, "Only one percent." ”

"If Dr. Zhou of the Military Region is allowed to perform this operation, he may be forty percent sure that he is the best doctor in our Military Region."

"No, the probability of success is too low, we can't risk the life of the regiment commander!" Xiao Yuan on the side interrupted, very anxious.

Wang Hong also showed an expression of approval.

Then he looked at Dr. Wang and asked with a last glimmer of hope, "Is there any other way?" ”

"The chance of 30% is too low, at least 70% must be sure of this operation before it can be done."

Doctor Wang flashed a flash of embarrassment, and then replied: "Our medical conditions are too poor, if there is a regular operating room, Doctor Zhou of the military region must be seventy percent sure." ”

Xiao Yuan's face was lit with hope, and he immediately asked: "Where is there an operating room with good conditions, we will take the head of the regiment there for surgery!" ”

"It's really impossible to snatch all the equipment back in the operating room."

"Taiyuan City, the hospital there has always been the best in Shanxi!" Dr. Wang replied without thinking about it.

"Chongqing definitely has it, and the conditions are better than in Taiyuan, and there are more doctors and specialists there, if it can be sent there, there is 80% certainty before this operation, or even higher."

Wang Hong frowned and analyzed: "Taiyuan definitely can't go." ”

"There are too many little devils there, they are heavily guarded, and our garrison regiment is their henchmen, once exposed, they can't escape if they want to, and they definitely can't go!"

"I don't want the head of the regiment to fall into the hands of devils after surgery in Taiyuan and fall into the hands of devils."
