Chapter 158 Malaria

There are many lakes and swamps in the land of Jingchu, and there is more rain in June, so the troops have to be reorganized, and Li Siwei naturally does not like rainy days.

However, when Macheng was sunny for three days in a row, he was a little flustered!

On the fourth day, the sun was still high, there was a hint of wind in the air, the earth was hot, the water vapor was steaming, and the heaven and earth seemed to have become a huge steamer, and the people in the steamer suffered every minute and every second!

In the brigade headquarters of the 16th Brigade, the commanders of all departments gathered together, but they all frowned, looking at Brigade Commander Chen with blank eyes.

Brigade Commander Chen sat on the main seat, his eyebrows were locked, his face was full of bitterness, and his words were difficult, "Brothers, I have thought of all the ways I should think, and I have asked for all the people I should beg...... However, there is really no way! The command said that the situation of the front-line troops is worse than ours, and all the medicines have been sent to the front, and they are still not enough......"

As he spoke, he showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Hehe, brothers, you can't divide me, right?" If my flesh can stop this plague, I would rather share it with my brothers......"

Everyone was silent, this was an era of lack of medical treatment...... The battlefield in Wuhan suddenly gathered millions of troops, and just in time for the raging epidemic, medicine was naturally even more scarce.

On the left, Li Siwei was pale, and cold sweat was pouring on his forehead...... He naturally thought that there would be an epidemic raging, and he tried his best to take precautions, but he didn't expect the epidemic to come so fiercely, and even he didn't hide from it!

Brigade Commander Chen glanced at him, "Siwei, it's really not good, you can rest for a few days first!" ”

Li Siwei shook and sat up straight, "Brigade commander, don't do anything...... You still have to catch the training! ”

Li Siwei knows that the more this time, the more he can't fall! In this time when medicine is scarce, the only thing that can hit the disease is the anger in the heart!

Everyone was stunned, "Still arrested?" If you catch it again, I'm afraid the brothers will ......"

Li Siwei shook his head gently, with a straight face, "Brothers, the more you are at this time, the more your morale cannot be relaxed...... Outdoor training can be less and can be changed to morning and evening, but indoor training must be tighter! Morale can't be dispersed! ”

Brigade Commander Chen nodded hurriedly, looked around at everyone, and his face was solemn, "Brothers, Siwei is right!" Morale can't be dispersed, if it does, it's not easy to gather again! If they disperse, more brothers will fall ill! ”

"Yes!" Commander Wang hurriedly agreed, "Since the establishment of the 67th Regiment, it has only now gained some morale, and Lao Tzu doesn't want to just lose it...... There is no medicine to give above, so Lao Tzu will go back and figure it out by himself! ”

Head Zhang also gritted his teeth, "Yes, go back and figure it out yourself...... As the brigade commander said, 'It's not going to be harder than beating a little devil, is it?' ’”

"Yes!" Everyone was in high spirits, "There will always be a way!" ”

"Good!" Brigade Commander Chen praised with a solemn expression, "Brothers, don't worry, the headquarters said that the next batch of medicines will definitely have a copy of the 16th Brigade!" ”

Everyone got the promise and dispersed, leaving only Li Siwei and Brigade Commander Chen in the conference room.

Brigade Commander Chen gently picked up the list in front of him, his hands trembled slightly, and he looked at Li Siwei with a wry smile on his face, "The sick number of the sixty-fifth regiment is more than one-twentieth, and the sick number of the sixty-seventh regiment is nearly one-fifteenth, and the mortar battalion ...... Your regiment is a little better, but you, the regimental leader, are sick again! ”

Li Siwei worked hard to squeeze out a smile, "Brigade commander, my subordinate is sick, but he hasn't fallen yet, and he won't fall...... Absolutely not! ”

With that, he stood up gently, turned slowly, and walked towards the door, walking slowly but firmly!

At the door, as soon as Miao Zhenhua saw Li Siwei coming out, he hurriedly went to help him.

Li Siwei gently blocked his hand and continued to walk forward, "Zhenhua, go back to Baiguo Town!" ”

Miao Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed, "Regiment commander, we are ...... at the brigade headquarters."

"Go back," Li Siwei's voice was weak but firm, "you ride a horse and carry me!" ”

"Good! I'll lead the horse first......" Miao Zhenhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away.

He was really afraid that Li Siwei would be reckless and wanted to ride back by himself......

At noon, a fast horse galloped under the scorching sun.

On horseback, Li Siwei leaned on Miao Zhenhua's back, with a wry smile on his face, "I can't think of it...... Father...... There are also today's ......"

Miao Zhenhua hurriedly comforted, "Commander, you are sick...... Who doesn't get sick? It is said that illness comes like a mountain, and this mountain has not overwhelmed you! ”

Li Siwei was stunned, "Hehe...... You turtle falls...... It's comforting! ”

"I'm telling the truth!" Miao Zhenhua was a little anxious, "I know, you definitely want to lie on the bed, but you have been holding on, just because you are afraid that your brothers will be discouraged......"

"You know...... Know more! Li Siwei gasped a little, "However, you ...... That's not ...... Not entirely! Zhenhua, Lao Tzu is really afraid...... I'm afraid to lie down...... I can't get up again! ”

You can drink alcohol to cross, this disease...... Li Siwei is really scared!

Miao Zhenhua was stunned, "Commander, why are you afraid?" I've been following you since Taiping Village, and I've never seen you scared...... What kind of battle haven't you seen? ”

"It's different......" Li Siwei sighed softly, "Little devil's guns...... Lao Tzu is not afraid...... I've long been afraid...... Died on the battlefield, that's ...... That's a well-deserved death...... However, Lao Tzu ...... I'm afraid of dying in a hospital bed! Die like that...... Die a suffocating death! ”

Miao Zhenhua was stunned, "No! Commander, you won't die! Never die...... You are a hero, and heroes will live forever! ”

"Hehe," Li Siwei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Silly boy! ”

Miao Zhenhua smiled, "Leader, I'm not stupid!" I know that you always say that those dead brothers are the real heroes, but I believe that there are immortal heroes! ”

It was already lunch time, but the 66th Regiment was stationed without the laughter and laughter of the past, and the soldiers were eating with their heads bored, this epidemic came too suddenly, too fierce, and made people panic!

On the battlefield, you can see the enemy, you can hear the sound of guns and cannons, and you can hear the sound of killing, but when the epidemic hits, you can't see anything......

"Commander," someone saw Li Siwei slowly coming in from the gate, and his spirits perked up, "The head of the regiment is back!" ”

"The head of the regiment is back......"

Everyone stood up and looked at the gate.

They all knew that Li Siwei went to the brigade headquarters early in the morning to ask for medicine...... With medicine, there is no need to be afraid!

Li Siwei heard the shout, and when he raised his head, he looked at the happy faces, but his heart trembled and he was stunned in place...... Medicine, and not coming back!

Miao Zhenhua led the horse and followed, and when he saw this scene, he was also stunned in place, "Tuan...... Regiment Commander ......"

He clearly saw that Li Siwei's body was trembling slightly, and his already shaky body was like a candle in the wind...... Miao Zhenhua hurriedly reached out to help, but saw Li Siwei shook his head gently, had already taken a step, and walked straight towards the brothers!

Li Siwei's steps are very slow and small, but they are as steady as ever!

Everyone looked at him, some were blank, some were disappointed, and some were secretly worried......

"Turtle's," Liao Heiniu strode over, and grabbed Li Siwei with one hand, "Li Cannon, you turtle don't want to die!" It's all sick like this, what can you do to Lao Tzu? ”

He scolded, but his eyes were already red!

"Black Bull," Li Siwei gently broke free of Liao Heiniu's hand and smiled softly at him, "Lao Tzu is Li Cannon!" Hehe, Li Cannon can't die...... The little devil can't kill Lao Tzu, and this malaria can't kill Lao Tzu! ”

With that, Li Siwei continued to walk forward, and a weak voice sounded, "Brothers...... Lao Tzu is back, but he didn't bring anything back, I'm sorry! ”

"Commander...... How can you say that? Someone quickly shook his head, "You're sick like this......"

"yes...... Captain, go and rest......" Someone was full of worry, "Mo De Medicine is a ball!" You can't be ......."

……

Li Siwei gently raised his hands and slowly pressed down, "Brothers, Lao Tzu can't rest yet!" There are some things that must be made clear to you first...... Hehe, Lao Tzu's voice is so loud that you can hear it, right? ”

Everyone was stunned and hurriedly shouted, "I can hear it!" Can you hear ...... The captain's voice is still as loud as before! ”

"Hehe, a bunch of turtle sons! I dare to coax Lao Tzu! Li Siwei smiled, but his heart was a little lighter, "Brothers, hundreds of thousands of brothers have gathered on the front line...... They're still fighting the little devils! Most of you have been to the front line, you should know how hard they are, right? ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment and nodded one after another, "I know, I know, they are more bitter than us!" ”

"yes!" Li Siwei sighed with emotion, "They are bitter!" They have more sick numbers than we do! They also need medicine, so they gave them medicine first...... You say, "Should you give them first?" ”

"Yes! It should be ......," everyone nodded.

"That's right! Lao Tzu also thinks that they should be given first! Li Siwei nodded vigorously and looked around at everyone, "However, the brothers will not be left alone, the rear is already preparing medicines as much as possible, I believe that it will be transported to the front line soon, and we will definitely be indispensable at that time!" ”

Everyone was in high spirits, "Yes! Right...... We are indispensable! ”

Li Siwei waved his hand gently, and his gaze slowly swept over everyone, "Brothers, I still want to tell you...... Malaria counts as a ball! Lao Tzu also got malaria, but Lao Tzu didn't stand up the same? You all have a good look at Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is sick, but Lao Tzu will never fall! It's always going to fall! The little devil can't defeat Lao Tzu, and malaria can't defeat Lao Tzu either! Are you afraid of little devils? ”

"Don't be afraid! Is the turtle son afraid? The crowd agreed!

"Good!" Li Siwei praised loudly, looked at everyone with blazing eyes, and shouted, "Little devils are not afraid, but they are also afraid of malaria with a hammer?!" Remember Lao Tzu's words, as long as you don't fall down, even if the sky falls, it won't overwhelm you! Because, you are soldiers, iron-clad soldiers! ”

After that, Li Siwei turned around and slowly walked towards the regiment headquarters, his steps were still firm!

Looking at Li Siwei's back, everyone's eyes were blazing...... As long as we don't fall, even if the sky falls, it won't overwhelm us! Because, we are soldiers, iron-clad soldiers!

Qianshan Castle, the headquarters of the Sakai detachment.

Major General Sakai sat at the table, pale and sluggish, holding a glass of water in his hand, steaming, but shivering from time to time.

"Major General," Ando Nakasa looked at Major General Sakamoto, his eyebrows lingering with sorrow, "You need to rest more!" ”

"Rest?" Major General Sakai was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a bitter face, "The situation has deteriorated to the point where I can, how can I rest?" ”

Since the battle of the Savage Village, reinforcements from all walks of life have arrived, and the Sakai detachment cannot advance an inch on the front line of the buried mountain, and worse situations have followed...... Malaria is rampant, Imperial warriors are sick, sick, and falling! Bedridden!

"Major General!" The attendant hurriedly came and handed over a medicine bottle with both hands, "It's time for you to take the medicine!" ”

Major General Sakai took the medicine bottle, poured out two quinine pills, put them in his mouth, swallowed them with his head high, hurriedly picked up the hot water, poured a big mouthful, "Gollum ......", swallowed, his brows were already wrinkled, "This damn malaria, damn China!" ”

Ando Nakasa nodded and let out a long sigh, "There are nearly a thousand sick soldiers in the army...... We can't afford to attack again! ”

"Alas!" Major General Sakai also sighed, "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General...... is still urging our department to go west! How did he know the difficulties of the Sakai detachment......"

The battle of Hengshan Ridge was a heavy loss!

The savages set a battle, and the position was ended!

There were dozens of battles on the front line of the buried mountain, with many casualties......

At this point, the Sakai detachment has lost more than 2,000 people, and no matter how arrogant they are, they know that they have no chance of winning in the west!

It's a pity that Lieutenant General Inaba doesn't know! Maybe he also knew, but it was just ...... He doesn't care at all! All he wants is victory!

"Click......

The attendant officer went and returned, holding the folder with a solemn expression, "Major General, the headquarters is calling!" ”

Major General Sakai was stunned for a moment, and his tone was impatient, "Speak!" ”

The attendant officer was stunned for a moment, his face was embarrassed, "Major General, you can see it for yourself!" ”

As he spoke, he handed the document to Major General Sakai.

Sakai took the telegram suspiciously, and after reading it, he put it down gently, bowed his head and was speechless, his face was full of decadence!

"Major General," Ando Nakasa lowered his voice, "is something wrong?" ”

Major General Sakai raised his head lightly and let out a long sigh, "I'm really unwilling!" Actually, I thought about it a long time ago, but it was just ...... I didn't expect this order to come so quickly! ”

Ando Nakasa was stunned, he also thought of it...... In the battle of the hidden mountain, the performance of the Sakai detachment was indeed unsatisfactory! I'm afraid that the Sakai detachment should change its name and surname!

"Ando-kun!" Major General Sakai slowly stood up and tried to straighten his waist, but his voice trembled slightly, "I...... It's time to leave, and Imamura-kun will take my place! ”

Ando Nakasa stood up suddenly, and saluted with a "snap", "Major General, take care!" ”

"Smack", Major General Sakai returned the salute, turned around and left, "Hehe, I'm really unwilling!" ”

If there is no Hengshan Ridge, if there is no Savage Set...... I should have led the Sakai detachment to be stationed in Taihu City! What an abomination!

Looking at the back of Major General Sakai, Ando Nakasa sighed secretly.

At the station of the 66th Regiment, Li Siwei finally breathed a sigh of relief after eating lunch.

"Regiment Leader," Lu Yongnian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Why are you so troubled?" ”

Zheng Sanyang hurriedly glared at him and diverted the topic, "Regiment leader, the training ...... in the afternoon"

"Go on!" Li Siwei's expression was full, "Yongnian, Sanyang, training must not be slack!" You can reduce outdoor training to the morning and evening, and arrange indoor training at other times! ”

"Yes," the two hurriedly agreed!
