The German reinforcements were rushing to the battlefield, and 50 people from the reconnaissance company sent by Yang Mingzhi had already exchanged fire with the enemy reinforcements.

Because it was an urgent order, the German infantry was running on almost a pair of feet. Time was running out, their half-track armored vehicles and trucks were difficult to walk at night, and it was better for the infantry to be reinforced with a pair of feet for the sake of safety.

For example, the 774th Infantry Regiment under the 707th Division of the German Army, more than 2,000 people in the regiment were urgently ordered. The soldiers were awakened from their deep sleep, and with just over a thousand soldiers in the barracks (the rest were out on duty in small squads, they were also urgently drafted), and they were forced to travel lightly.

This unit was not prepared for an emergency battle, and most of the soldiers believed that this was an occupied area, and that the stragglers could not threaten the safety of the division headquarters.

But an order is an order, and the troops march in the dark.

A small number of half-track armored vehicles drove the road, and even with the lights on, they moved slowly. The Germans have long criticized the potholed dirt roads of the Soviet Union, which can also be called highways.

When they appeared in the ambush of the Soviet reconnaissance company, a surprise blow came.

The German soldier stepped on the stumble, and the buried grenade was detonated. These grenades were not very powerful, but fortunately, the German troops were very dense, and they caused a lot of casualties at that time. Not many people were killed on the spot, but because of these deliberately added explosives, the iron flew sideways and injured a large area.

Then there was gunfire in the forest, and the reconnaissance company carried a large number of automatic weapons and ammunition. The Germans encountered strong resistance, and they had to stop rushing to help.

The fierce battle was raging here, the battle in Kuta Town was over, and Yang Mingzhi led the surviving troops to quickly evacuate.

He gave an order to the reconnaissance company, which was in the midst of fierce fighting, "You must withdraw from the battle immediately, the ambush plan has been cancelled." ”

The barrage was soon over, and the German 774th Regiment continued its advance, and when they arrived at the town of Kuta, all they saw was ruins and a large number of corpses.

The seriously wounded Soviet soldiers who were left behind persisted in the struggle and finally died honorably, knowing that they were destined to die, and they still gave the Germans entering the city a surprise blow before they died.

The Germans found the commander of the 707th Division in the rubble, his twisted figure lying under a rubble, his body with several bullets and his hands still tied, apparently shot dead.

The battle is over, only the flames are still burning. The German soldiers groped through the rubble, kicked dead comrades, and still found a few guys who were pretending to be dead.

Officer Lawrence, once again he will not die. When he was pulled out of the pile of dead people, he was full of nonsense with excitement.

The commander of the 772nd regiment came up and slapped the man awake, grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Tell me, what happened to the division commander!" Who attacked us! ”

"That's them! A force of Soviet troops, they were the same ones who attacked the town of Luvanka last time! ”

Lawrence did not know the name of the attacker, but he had survived many attacks without dying, and he pointed out the very obvious characteristics of these people - leggings.

"As far as I know, Soviet servicemen never had the habit of leggings. So these enemies are unique, and the Gestapo should be able to find out exactly what these people are. ”

The commander of the 772nd Regiment was the first to arrive, and he had Lawrence carried down to rest, and he himself remained in front of the body of the division commander who had been retracted, waiting for his comrades to arrive.

The soldiers came to him in a hurry and saluted. "Report to the chief, they have all been checked, the corpses of the enemy have leggings, and the corpses of our fighters, shoes, armed belts, and even trousers have been taken away. They also rummaged through some of the intact houses and took away all the clothes. ”

All this information was well documented, and everything was exactly as Lawrence had said, that this enemy was completely different from the rest of the guerrillas.

On the other hand, Yang Mingzhi led the troops to evacuate urgently, and he himself endured the pain in his arm.

"Hell, I got shot! How could I be injured at such a critical moment! Filled with chagrin, he planned to storm the town of Kuta in one fell swoop, and then attack the enemy's reinforcements. The plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements has completely turned into a tough battle, is it because he is too greedy? I want to complete the attack and complete the encirclement reinforcement.

So after paying a great price, the troops only completed the storm. After several hours of high-intensity fighting, the physical exertion of the fighters was unusually enormous, and the consumption of ammunition was also very serious.

In addition to this, the psychological blow is also terrifying. How many comrades-in-arms who have been with each other for several months, and even the surviving veterans who once fought positional battles with enemy armored units in Batykinskaya, have no choice but to die honorably in this battle.

The current survivors, they still got the loot in the conquered towns, and they didn't take too much in a hurry.

"Everyone, keep it up! I know that the battle has just ended, and I am asking everyone to march quickly, which is very hard. But we have no reason to stop, the enemy's pursuers are most likely right behind our ass. Yang Mingzhi called.

In fact, everyone also understands that the enemy's reinforcements are entering Kuta Town one after another, and there is still a dull sound of gunfire in the distance, and the troops are not safe at this time.

Many people are overdrawing their physical strength, and they are still insisting that in addition to not being left behind, they can't be left behind in the materials they carry.

The army marched through the forest, and the training on weekdays was extremely powerful. In one morning, the troops galloped 20 kilometers, and it was very rare to travel such a distance through the forest, especially after a high-intensity battle.

But the Soviet soldiers were also mortals, and it wasn't until a few soldiers fainted from exhaustion that Yang Mingzhi felt that the troops should rest.

As soon as the order to rest in place was given, the warriors fell to the ground as if they had fallen apart. Many people were wheezing violently, and some were sitting cross-legged and drinking water.

Yang Mingzhi put down his backpack, and his left arm was still aching.

"Damn it, it should be swollen!" When the bandage was slowly untied, I saw that the wound was swollen, and there was tissue fluid oozing out. "What the hell! The enemy's bullets are too poisonous! ”

This is the first time Yang Mingzhi has been injured, and the pain of being shot is really unbearable.

Yelenkina walked over and sat down in front of Yang Mingzhi, only to see that this person was examining his wounds, and the condition seemed to be very bad.

"You're wounded, should the bullet still be in your body? I didn't even pay attention to the war when I was fighting. “

Yang Mingzhi frowned and complained bitterly. "Yes, you're lucky, I'm miserable. Of course, I was also fortunate in my misfortune, if I was hit by a rifle bullet, this arm would be useless. Thanks to a ricochet, the skin was scratched. ”

"Enough, something scratched the skin. I see your wound flying stitches! You'll also have to get an antibiotic. Yeretina was sensitive to a woman, and he really couldn't stand the man's so-so temperament, "You sit down here obediently, and I'll go and get Besica over." ”

Yang Mingzhi smiled and looked at the woman's rapidly disappearing back. Alas, my wife also retired unharmed, she knew that she was injured, but she had more important things to do.

Soon, the star fruit was pulled over by Yerentina, who deliberately made the situation very serious, which frightened the girl.

"Brother! Oh my brother! Show me your arm! Carambola knelt down in front of her husband, looking at his bloody wounds and worrying.

"Okay, I'll let you see my wounds." Yang Mingzhi smiled bitterly.

Suddenly, star fruit frowned and quickly took out the medicine and clean white linen cloth from the medical box. Worried and complaining, star fruit has mixed feelings in her heart. "Really, why are you rushing so hard, what if something happens to you. I am just one of your relatives, and you are still enduring the pain when you are injured, and you are still worried about my safety. ”

She said this in Chinese, and Yang Mingzhi saw her burying her head in the preparation of the potion, and tears fell from under the bangs.

"I'm sorry to worry you, my wife." As he spoke, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but want to touch her forehead. Girls like this very much, as if girls like to be touched on the forehead by their loved ones, so it is reassuring.

Carambola buried her head in a penicillin solution, which was a special medicine for the wounded. The girl did not know the history, but because of the discovery and use of penicillin, the survival rate of the wounded soldiers increased dramatically.

In previous wars, when soldiers encountered wounded while cleaning the battlefield, as long as they could not stand up and leave, they would make up for it. There is no saying about mending the enemy's sword, as for his own people, I just hope that they can end the suffering quickly.

But even with penicillin, many of the wounded were helpless to die. In the raid on the town of Kuta, many of the seriously wounded Soviet soldiers committed suicide, and some of them fought to the end in pain.

More than 200 wounded were successfully evacuated with the troops, many of whom were like Yang Mingzhi. He was shot in the arm, and after stopping the bleeding, he could still follow the troops to retreat. If you are shot in the leg, you will be carried away on a makeshift stretcher (made by untying the leggings and wrapping two wooden sticks).

Star fruit wiped her eyes and looked up. "Brother, my eyes are smoked with medicine, that's why I cry."

"yes, I know." Yang Mingzhi nodded, "Don't call me husband this time, call me brother instead, it's good, I like it." ”

Carambola smiled and picked up the glass syringe, "Well, now I'll inject you with some antibiotics to put an end to septicemia or something." ”

Yang Mingzhi is very relieved of his wife, as a war doctor, star fruit is doing well. After all, she learned some professional knowledge from the professional surgeon who escaped from Minsk, as well as a lot of clinical experience, although at first she was like a Mongolian doctor serving those wounded soldiers, so many people could only endure her naïve experience, as for now, she can be said to be a good military doctor.

Yang Mingzhi sat up straight and watched the needle stick into his arm. In this era, there are no disposable plastic syringes, and it is fortunate to have a glass syringe. But the treatment had just begun, and I saw my daughter-in-law speak again.

"Brother! You straighten your left arm, and I'll sanitize you. ”

She took out a glass bottle and moistened a small lump of tampon with pliers.

"It's alcohol disinfection, you have to bear with it."

"Of course, I'm a dignified man." Yang Mingzhi kept smiling, endured the pain, and watched his wife wipe the blood from his wounds.

As for the wound, because of the loss of a little skin tissue or even muscle, it can only be stitched once.

There must have been casualties in the war, and before leaving, the little military doctor who accompanied the army, they brought a lot of medical supplies. The captured Germans used all the tools for surgery, and the tampons were put into use.

Yang Mingzhi was helpless at this time, he saw that his wife was giving himself morphine, and it was difficult to accept it at first. "It's a drug, it's addictive, and I don't want to be an addict."

It was difficult for star fruit to understand these words, but she still kindly persuaded her: "Our wounded soldiers all use this, and everyone doesn't feel excessive pain, so I can facilitate treatment." ”

Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to nod and accept his fate, he knew what morphine was, and if it was purified again, it would be terrifying. People in this era don't know about the drastic side effects of this thing, they just know that this thing is a painkiller!

Yang Mingzhi closed his eyes, like fish on the chopping board, and recognized his wife to deal with it. In fact, it is really a kind of luck to have her, if she was a girl of that era, studying medicine and becoming a doctor seems to have a talent.

"Okay, I'll wrap you in gauze at the end. Brother, don't rush like a commando in the future, you're a sir. If something really happens to you, what will happen to the safety of our 2,000 people? ”

Yang Mingzhi opened his eyes, and at this moment he was facing the battalion commanders and the political commissar Yelenkina. These guys have big and small abrasions on their bodies, even the wife who treats herself, and her clothes are torn a lot.

In fact, star fruit said a bunch of concerned words to her husband, but she didn't talk about the injuries on her body. In addition to the abrasions on his limbs, he was also hit on his right arm by the brick that was knocked down by the explosion, and he endured the pain of bruising when he injected her husband.

Yang Mingzhi's wound was well bandaged, and his wife tied a bow with linen. Now Yang Mingzhi has figured out the casualties of the troops, and the results have been mixed.

"We had 197 wounded soldiers, and they were all wounded to their limbs, so they have been able to hold on until now."

"That's so many! And what about the killed? Yang Mingzhi asked solemnly.

This is not something that star fruit can answer, Yerenkina immediately told the real situation. "According to the results of the preliminary statistics so far, the troops did not follow the people, and it can be assumed that all of them were killed, and they numbered nearly 600 people, and we suffered great losses. But we rescued the prisoners of war, and we were followed by 300 people, who were already our new comrades. ”

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay, it's okay. We have lost a lot, and the harvest is indeed unexpected. Like a sharp sword, we stabbed the heart of the enemy's 707th Division, killed the enemy's evil division commander, and wiped out thousands of enemies. The battle damage is more advantageous than ours. ”

"Yes, it was a real victory." "Our battalion lost more than 100 people and almost killed all the enemy troops in the battalion on the left flank of the enemy. The warriors sacrificed, the value of their sacrifice. ”

Yang Mingzhi looked at him, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help smiling: "The victory is tragic, and the defeat is tragic." We won, even though I didn't plan to do that. ”

According to Yang Mingzhi's order, the troops rested for two hours. Reconnaissance units were sent to stand guard on the perimeter of the camp, ready to retreat at any time.
