The idea is good, the reality is cruel.

The rain gradually ended in the afternoon, and the sunset actually appeared in the evening. Obviously, the rain came from the evaporating water vapor in this part of the swamp, and a northerly wind caused the rain to come and go as fast as it came.

The rain stopped, the troops stopped, and the whole land was wet, and there was no dry wood to make a fire.

But the bonfire was lit! There is no other reason, and this is due to the good habit of the troops to "pick up rags". After the battle in Bainiu Village, the soldiers found the gasoline supplied by the enemy to the armored vehicles, and the oil drums were put down, and the leaded gasoline with red dye was poured into a small oil tank of only five gallons, and the gasoline of the three oil drums was taken away by the soldiers. It is precisely because everyone knows that the only two tanks in the army are big eaters.

Now everyone just wants to dry their wet clothes early, and the gasoline will be used immediately.

Yang Mingzhi, like many men, took off his shirt and wrung it out and put it on his body again, hoping that his body temperature would evaporate the excess water. He was very worried about the physical condition of the girls, and saw that Natasha and star fruit were still alive and well, and Liu Hongxiu was a little wilted.

The cloaks could not completely block the rain, and the girls' clothes, especially their trousers, were somewhat wet.

"Brother! Pepper may have a low-grade fever! Carambola hugged her sister and hesitated.

"Did you give her any medicine?"

"Eat some, she's just a cold! We need to get her back! ”

Yang Mingzhi squatted down and patted the child's little face. Liu Hongxiu smiled reluctantly with wide eyes, her forehead was hot, and she barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and Yang Mingzhi realized that measures had to be carried out.

Child! Especially kids! More than 80 children were the weakest, and a lot of them fell ill after a rain! It's a pity that now that it's dark, it's unrealistic to send people to march in a hurry with sick numbers!

Yang Mingzhi knew that he had encountered new troubles, and what he needed to do most now was to bake everyone's clothes dry!

Is there a campfire in such an environment?

Suddenly, some pungent smell hit his nostrils, the familiar smell of gasoline.

It's gasoline! Yang Mingzhi walked in search of the smell, and suddenly, a flame burst out, which was originally wet and wood, and the smoke went straight to the treetops, making the soldiers who were waiting to bake their clothes and stripped off only their underwear coughed vigorously......

As the commander of the army, Yang Mingzhi did not hesitate to use his privileges, he quickly dried his marching cloak, and this huge cloak quickly covered the girls' bodies.

Yang Mingzhi yelled at the cloak: "Little Peach, now quickly take off your sister's wet clothes and cover them with the cloak temporarily!" He also ordered Abram, that is, in the temporary command, to take special care of the child.

There were very few bonfires lit throughout the troops, and it was simply unrealistic to dry everyone's clothes. The old, weak, sick and disabled enjoyed the bonfire to a limited extent, and as soldiers, they obeyed Yang Mingzhi's orders to quickly vacate their seats.

After all, the Soviet Red Army cannot be said to be a real people's soldier, especially in this environment of a world war, if it can survive, it is the strongest. The soldiers didn't have that much sympathy, and they could only be ordered to leave the campfire!

In this case, many soldiers were reluctant and had no choice but to give military orders. Based on such sentiments, the battalion commanders urgently intervened, and the party members in the troops began to play the role of political commissars.

Yang Mingzhi found a fallen dead wood, scraped off the mossy part, and sat down.

The majority of soldiers are resentful, the body is very honest, the exhaustion from every cell fills the whole body, and the soldiers who simply finish dinner do not care about sloppiness, and fall asleep.

The air was filled with the stench of gasoline volatilization, and Yang Mingzhi was also drowsy. Fresh tree trunks thrown in the campfire while asleep were dried, and the burning finally took place. There were more bonfires, the resentment of the soldiers had long since disappeared, and the snoring of the huge camp was bursting.

The three girls made blankets out of cloaks, and the three of them gathered together wrapped in a tweed blanket, and their little faces were yellow and cold under the beating flames. Yang Mingzhi glanced at them a few times, curled up and rested against the big tree.

……

The rain was destined to cause a lot of trouble, and on a new day a thick morning fog rose in the forest, so thick that you couldn't see a person's face five meters away.

"Oops! This is the march slowing down again! Yang Mingzhi was extremely depressed, and it would take several hours for the fog to dissipate.

Of course, this is not the more troublesome thing, people who have been drenched in the rain finally have a large-scale illness today, many people have begun to cough, and some people have a fever altogether.

It turns out that even soldiers with exaggerated physical training on weekdays are equal in the face of disease, and the battle-hardened soldier was not defeated by the Germans, and the disease made him feel hot all over his body and swayed when he walked.

Liu Hongxiu's condition is not good, but her condition has not deteriorated.

Yang Mingzhi was guarding the headquarters, he was roasted by the bonfire for a night, and his brain was dizzy!

Early in the morning, the battalion commanders gathered in the headquarters to report on their respective situations.

"Commander, more than twenty of us are sick, and three of them have a fever!"

"More than thirty of us are sick, and five of them have a fever!"

……

After the battalions finished debriefing, Peroniski and Medvedev reported on the more troublesome situation. Because some of the people they were responsible for died quietly in the night.

"Dead? How did you die?! Yang Mingzhi asked loudly.

Medvedev said helplessly: "The deceased was an old woman over sixty years old, she was weak and drenched in the rain. I don't know when she died, but her body was cold when she woke up in the morning. ”

This was by no means the only one who died, the wounded were in even worse condition, with ten dead......

Just a cough is also a cold, and after statistics, the total number of patients exceeded 400, and even worse, the military doctor said regretfully: "Who would have thought that we would have a large-scale cold and fever, we did not carry this kind of medicine." ”

"It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven!" Yang Mingzhi slapped his head hard, and suddenly a flash of inspiration. He remembered that his wife gave Liu Hongxiu medicine last night, and although the child was still sick, his condition was under control!

Therefore, the star fruit was quickly invited.

"Honey, tell me, what kind of medicine did you give Pepper?!"

Originally, this girl and Natasha were both invited to take care of the wounded and sick, and the military doctor didn't know, in fact, the two girls had begun to silently "make trouble".

She said decisively: "I use anti-inflammatory drugs, which are sulfonamides for the wounded!" ”

"But the medicine was sprinkled on the wound! You guys?! The accompanying military doctor said decisively.

"But it also treats fevers! I put this medicine powder in water and let each patient take a sip! Although I don't know how this works, it works! ”

One of the main causes of colds and fevers is that when the body is weak, it cannot resist the attack of the virus in the air, so it becomes sick. Rain and plummeting temperatures, combined with excessive exercise, have weakened the body so that the virus can take advantage of it.

Star fruit didn't know much about the principle of this medicine to treat colds, so she decisively put the teacher out: "Comrades, this is given to me by Comrade Raslyutin, I only know that this medicine can treat some diseases!" Besides, we really don't have any other drugs right now. I have stabilized one child with this medication and I believe it will treat many people. ”

"Then go for it!" Yang Mingzhi slapped his thigh, turned his head and ordered the military doctor: "With that medicine, we have no choice!" You immediately make a large amount of water and pour it into the kettle, so that all the sick people can drink a little. ”

This drug is sulfonamides, Yang Mingzhi vaguely remembers that this kind of drug can treat viral cold and fever, and if there are side effects, it is also a flood beast. In later generations, penicillin was used the most, and now all the ** teams have begun to ration this drug, but the ration is not much, and Novgomel only stocks a little, and the most is the sulfonamide powder that was airdropped last time.

Since this powder is applied to the wound effectively to prevent sepsis, oral administration is also OK.

The addition of sick numbers will undoubtedly slow down the pace, especially now that the fog is thick and it is not appropriate to continue the march.

Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to give the order until the fog cleared and the troops advanced again. 8)
