Squeak......

As the closed door was pushed open, a bright light poured out of the makeshift operating room.

With Xiaohe's support, Shao Mengru, who was dressed in a white coat, slowly walked out.

took off the mask and wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, Shao Mengru took a long breath, looked at everyone tiredly and said:

"The bullet in the chest has been removed, the patient is still under anesthesia, you can go and carry him to the bedroom to rest.

Try to move as slowly as possible, and don't tear the wound. ”

"Doctor Shao, are we okay with the group? When will he wake up? ”

Hearing that the bullet was taken out smoothly, Deng Yongse on the side glanced at Shao Mengru with a squint, and then walked over and asked in a deep voice.

"It's nothing, there are still three hours to take the anesthetic, and when it comes to eight o'clock in the night, he will naturally wake up on his own."

"Oh...... That's great...... Dr. Shao's medical skills are really the same as those of people, and he is very beautiful and ....... ”

Hearing this, he ignored Deng Yong, who was squinting, and Shao Mengru immediately said goodbye and left the courtyard.

Looking at the other party's back and muttering a few words, Deng Yong's face changed, and then he turned to look at the group of subordinates and shouted:

"What else to see? Hurry up and carry the group back to recuperate! ”

Hearing Deng Yong's shout, more than a dozen stout soldiers immediately carried a stretcher into the house, and then carried He Zhendong, who was still in a coma, out.

At this moment, there were suddenly several noises and scolding voices outside the courtyard.

"Who let you in? Get out of here! ”

Hearing the sound from the courtyard, Deng Yong's face changed slightly.

The next moment, a familiar figure quickly appeared in front of Deng Yong.

Deng Yong...... Your hand is stretched too far, this is the regimental headquarters! Who is allowed to bring people here without a warrant for the group? ”

was asked sharply by the other party, and Deng Yong immediately frowned.

"Battalion Commander Yang, why can't I come to this regiment headquarters? Besides, Tuanza's surgery was a big deal, and as his subordinate, I had to come to visit. ”

Looking at Deng Yong, who looked at him, Yang Yuanhua didn't bother to explain to him, and directly waved his hand to let his soldiers come over.

"Protecting the safety of the regimental seat, that's the matter of our three battalions. Your battalion is also responsible for the defense of the perimeter, so I won't bother you here. ”

When the words were closed, Yang Yuanhua's subordinates squeezed suddenly, and instantly snatched He Zhendong's stretcher into his hands.

"You go and send the regimental seat back to the bedroom to rest, and I will personally send Battalion Commander Deng."

After a while, seeing that more than a dozen of Deng Yong's subordinates did not stop his actions, Yang Yuanhua finally put his mind at ease.

Not long ago, he was arranging an overnight camp for the independent detachment when he suddenly heard the news that Deng Yong had brought people here. Vaguely aware that something was wrong, Yang Yuanhua immediately hurriedly said goodbye to Zhao Shixun and them, and then almost trotted all the way back to the temporary operating room.

After removing the company commander of the guard company who had let Deng Yong into the regimental headquarters without permission, Yang Yuanhua finally blocked them in the regimental headquarters compound before Deng Yong left.

Ever since this Deng Yong revealed his desire to enter the palace for the second time three days ago, Yang Yuanhua has been wary of him. Although this person contributed a lot during the mutiny, Yang Yuanhua knew that if it wasn't for Fan Chengkun's subordinates who humiliated him, he would not have participated in the mutiny at all.

This kid was originally a second-rate ruffian in Henan, and he was a scumbag who usually made a living by abducting and opening a gambling house in Luoyang.

When the new Fifth Brigade was established, he had some connections and spent a lot of money to bribe the acting brigade commander at that time, and then he was sent to Luoyang's officer crash course for a month of training, and after he came out, he was directly promoted to battalion commander.

For this kind of soldier, Yang Yuanhua doesn't look down on him in his bones. After He Zhendong was injured, he mentioned to the other party more than once, hoping that he could remove this Deng Yong from his position.

But in order to stabilize the morale of the army, He Zhendong never dared to agree.

However, although Deng Yong was not removed from his position, He Zhendong also kept an eye on it. He not only transferred the first battalion of the other party to the periphery to serve as a guard in a planned manner, but also handed over the ammunition supply to the third battalion to be responsible for control, so that even if Deng Yong had two hearts, he would be powerless.

……

Half an hour later, after sending away more than 30 of Deng Yong's people, Yang Yuanhua hurried back to the regiment headquarters.

After going to the bedroom to take a look at He Zhendong, who was still in a coma, he left with peace of mind after arranging for a few henchmen to stay behind to protect He Zhendong's safety.

……

The courtyard where the independent detachment was located was originally the compound of another gentry next to the regimental headquarters.

After the 21st Regiment came here, the wealthy merchants here lost their properties one after another in order to prevent them from being eaten by the army.

In this way, nearly 100 people of the independent detachment were arranged by He Zhendong in this compound with dozens of houses.

After dinner, except for Shao Mengru and Xiaohe, who were already very tired, who went to rest early, the main person in charge of the independent detachment and Xue Liqun did not go to rest, but sat in the living room of the main house in the courtyard, discussing the next plan.

He Zhendong rejected Xue Liqun's suggestion on the spot in the afternoon, making it impossible for the independent detachment to carry out the task of taking over. Although He Zhendong's attitude towards the independent detachment is not bad, everyone knows that it is impossible for the independent detachment to accompany them here.

Today's 21st Regiment is a piece of fat meat that exudes fragrance, and the surrounding Japanese puppet army may come at any time. If the independent detachment lingers here for a few more days, it is likely that it will also be encircled and unable to get out at that time.

……

"Captain Zhao, if we promise to cover the 21st Regiment to cross the Yellow River south, what do you think is the success rate?"

After being silent for more than ten minutes, Xue Liqun looked at Zhao Shixun, and suddenly turned the topic to cover the 21st regiment's southern crossing of the Yellow River.

Hearing that Xue Liqun was still thinking about this, Zhao Shixun's face darkened. He had already made it very clear during the day how powerful Nandu was, but he didn't expect Xue Liqun to still think about this dead end.

"Chief of Staff Xue, the risk of retreating south is too great. Ships, floods, and enemy reinforcements could all lead to the failure of the retreat plan. And most importantly, we will take more than twice as much risk as the 21st regiment! If we were surrounded by a large number of enemies by the river, we would probably have no way to retreat. ”

Although Zhao Shixun once again put the facts in front of him, Xue Liqun was still unwilling to give up.

"Captain Zhao, I also understand the difficulties you mentioned. But all of your things are based on speculation, and if we don't see it for ourselves, try it for ourselves, how can we be sure that this road must be a dead end?

Captain Zhao, as soldiers, we can't be timid in doing things. Besides, maybe tomorrow the weather will turn cold, or maybe the river will be frozen by this time? ”

Seeing Xue Liqun say this, Zhao Shixun's face became darker and darker the more he listened.

Zhou Yu on the side saw that Zhao Shixun's face was not very good, so he subconsciously pulled the other party to try to stabilize the other party's anger.

Zhou Yu was also reluctant to cover the 21st Regiment's southern withdrawal from the Yellow River, after all, the Yellow River was the front line of confrontation between the national army and the devils, and the Japanese puppet forces were intertwined, and it was convenient to support each other. The independent detachment has such a small number of people, and if something goes wrong, it will end up with heavy casualties.

As one of the founders of the independent detachment, he is well aware of how difficult it is for this unit to get to where it is today.

However, as a political cadre and Lao Balu, although he did not agree with Chief of Staff Xue's proposal, it was not easy to refuse directly.

Faced with Zhou Yu's hints, Zhao Shixun finally couldn't hold back.

Standing up suddenly, Zhao Shixun walked to the middle of the room and walked a few steps, then turned around and stared at Xue Liqun's eyes and said:

"Chief of Staff Xue, fighting a war is to kill people! Although it is understandable that soldiers die on the battlefield, but the lives of soldiers are also lives, and we can't let those young soldiers jump into the fire pit because of a possibility! This is irresponsible to them! ”

Syllable......!

With a jolt of the tea table beside him, an empty teacup began to spin on the smooth tabletop, and finally fell to the ground and shattered.

"Captain Zhao! What do you mean by this, I'm not responsible? You are slandering!

I, Xue Liqun, am also a veteran, why don't I know that I feel sorry for the lives of the soldiers?

”

Standing up angrily, Xue Liqun walked a few steps back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

"Comrade Zhao Shixun, it's not been a day or two since you joined the Eighth Route Army, and if you go further, it's not a year or two since you joined Rong!

What is war? War is a life-and-death contest! If we have to think about this and that, if we are afraid of wolves and tigers, then we will not do anything!

To put it bluntly, without sacrifice, how can it be exchanged for victory!

Hum...... At every turn, he talked about being responsible for the soldiers...... Do you know what your mind is? It's a war! ”

"What did you say!"

"Lao Zhao! Lao Zhao, don't be angry......! ”

The more Xue Liqun went online, the more angry he became, and Zhao Shixun's whole person was trembling. Seeing that he was about to hold back and go up to beat someone, Zhou Yu on the side hurriedly grabbed him desperately.

Seeing that Zhao Shixun, who was tall and tall, seemed to be coming for real, Xue Liqun was also taken aback.

Feeling the thick murderous aura on the other party's body, Xue Liqun couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and tremble.

"Zhou Yu, take a look...... What kind of attitude does Comrade Zhao Shixun have, and does he still take me, the chief of staff, in his eyes?

The habits of an old soldier are simply ....... ”

"You...... You kind of say it again. ”

"Chief of Staff Xue!"

Feeling that Zhao Shixun behind him was pulling his strength more and more, Zhou Yu was also anxious, and suddenly interrupted Xue Liqun, who was going to continue to go online.

was shouted by Zhou Yu, and Xue Liqun was also stunned.

"Chief of Staff...... It was my political work that was not carried out well.

…… To be continued, today is the last day of 2018, thank you for your support!
