Chapter 10 First aid kits

The roar of the motors disappeared into the air, and the sound of the artillery finally stopped, except for a few gunshots that seemed to be still unwilling to be lonely and rang sporadically around the battlefield. The battlefield was littered with blown up American tanks, and the raging flames filled the entire valley with the choking smell of oil smoke.

These bomb-up tanks also included those that had been captured by the volunteers.

The Yankees would never leave their tanks to the volunteers, and the volunteers would not drive tanks, so they could only watch as those tanks were blown up one by one by the planes that flew after. There were two Pershing heavy tanks! It really hurts my 'meat'. However, the volunteer soldiers seem to have become accustomed to this, and this is not the first time that the enemy tank has been captured, but the outcome is the same every time.

I knew that I should have brought some people who could drive tanks up, I thought to myself, but even if someone could drive tanks, it seems useless, the Volunteer Army and the People's Army are now equipped with tanks, but these tanks basically dare not come out to operate without air supremacy. Although the tank can be said to be the king of land warfare, the aircraft is the killer of the tank. To the planes, the slow-moving tanks on the ground are like turtles waiting to be blown up.

Therefore, most of the tanks of the Volunteer Army and the People's Army only play the role of providing long-range artillery fire, in other words, the tanks are used as mobile cannons. The advantage is that you don't need horses, mules or anything to pull in front, and you can help the artillery unit transport some ***; The disadvantage is that the 'firing' range and firepower are similar to those of an eighty-two gun.

"Report!" At this time, the two company commanders, Huzi and Zhao Yongxin, ran to me and reported: "Report to Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, the battle has ended, and the enemy has seventeen tanks, except for three, which have escaped. All the rest were blown up by our troops! ”

"What about casualties?" That's what I'm most concerned about.

"Thirty-five people were injured in a row!"

"Forty-seven casualties in the second company!"

I couldn't help frowning when I heard the reports of Zhao Yongxin and Huzi, just the two of us, the casualties of the company were nearly a hundred, so you can imagine how big the casualties of the whole regiment were.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui" At this time, Zhao Yongxin couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "We are almost running out of anti-tank grenades, if this enemy comes up again, it will be fine."

"Brother will use explosives 'medicine' bags and blasters to blow up when he comes up!" Huzi replied disapplausively: "My company's anti-tank grenades have also run out." What are you afraid of? Haven't you ever fought like this? Last time, we didn't have a single anti-tank grenade, and we didn't blow them up! ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, Huzi said it easily, the last time it was at night, this daylight with explosives 'charge' bags and blasting canisters to blow up tanks, "It's good that a company can blow up one or two."

Therefore, this anti-tank grenade is still very necessary, and the problem is that the volunteer soldiers are not familiar with it. But now I don't take that very seriously.

"Don't worry!" I looked at the wreckage of the tanks strewn across the open ground, and then at the darkening sky, and said, "The Yankees will not attack." They will soon be retreating".

"What? Are they retreating? Hearing this, Zhao Yongxin couldn't help but wonder: "They still have more than a dozen tanks, aren't they?" This person only has about a hundred deaths, "At least there are more than a thousand people!" Why did you retreat?

"Their mission is to rescue the Gloucester battalion, not to fight us!" I tried my best to support myself on the ground with both hands, making it a little more comfortable to sit numb, and said with a breath: "The most important thing to save the Gloucester battalion is speed, but after the fiasco of the battle just now, they have lost their chance." Look at those blown up tanks, there are those things in the way, it's impossible for the Yankees to quickly capture us, if they don't retreat, wait for our large army to come up and 'insert' behind them, let alone save people, their own lives will be difficult to protect."

"Hmm". Hearing this, Zhao Yongxin suddenly realized: "In this way, the Yankees should retreat before dark."

"So, what are we waiting for?" Huzi couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Prepare to go down and chase it!" Chase after them and him hard! ”

"What are you chasing?" I couldn't help but say bitterly: "We don't even have anti-tank grenades, what are we chasing?".

"That is". Zhao Yongxin also nodded in agreement and said, "Don't you see that other people's big tanks can be driven while ***?" Let's not say that our two 'legs' can't catch up with the enemy's car tank, let's follow behind, and it just blows up all the way! ”

"That, that, you can't just let them run!" Huzi was still a little unwilling.

"Forget it!" I persuaded: "Our mission is to block the enemy's reinforcements, and if we go after the enemy, what if another enemy 'intervenes' in and saves the British?" That's a mistake! ”

"Hmm! Also! Also! Huzi nodded and said no more.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I don't know who made Huzi the company commander, I only know how to chase the enemy and kill the enemy, but fortunately I am only a company commander. If this is a regiment commander or division commander, then the entire army will be destroyed at his hands.

I had been busy with the war, and only then did I have time to check the injury, so I slowly reached out and unbuttoned the cotton coat, and found that the gown inside was already bloodstained. I knew in my heart that it was just some skin wounds, and I guess it was something that broke the skin when I pounced on the enemy tank! If it was a bullet or shrapnel, it was strange that the blood didn't stain the whole garment red.

Although I didn't panic, I was so scared that Zhao Yongxin and Huzi panicked Ding Yi.

"Hygienist! Hygienist! Huzi pulled up his loud voice and shouted backwards: "*** give me a hurry, run forward!" ”

Zhao Yongxin started to help me untie my coat, and when the hygienist ran over to untie it, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was indeed a little bit of skin as I thought, but the body had already been bruised and purple.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, it's no big deal!" The hygienist checked it for a while and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just a collision, I'll give you some 'medicine' for the injury, and it will be fine in two or three days!" ”

As he spoke, he skillfully untied a first-aid kit from his back, and pulled out some cotton 'flowers' and 'medicine' water from it.

Looking at the first-aid kit with the word "ten" printed on it, I couldn't help but be stunned, and I just stopped the 'potion' that the hygienist was about to apply to me: "Comrade, I haven't seen these first-aid kits before."

"Report to Camp Commander Cui!" The little soldier couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly replied: "These are all from the people of the motherland who support our volunteers, and they were brought with us when we entered the DPRK this time." ”

"Hmm! Do you know which factory produces these 'medicated' cotton and these first aid kits? I continued.

"Where do you care where he makes the drops?" Huzi said a little impatiently: "This 'medicated' water doesn't hurt or itch,"

Zhao Yongxin couldn't help but look at me suspiciously, not knowing what I was doing when I asked this.

I ignored them, still looking at the little warrior with a serious attitude.

"I don't know much about this!" The little soldier was stunned and 'touched' his head: "It seems to be, I heard that it is Wuhan Fuhua 'Medicine' Cotton Factory?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be shocked, and my fists couldn't help but clench tightly.

"Yes, yes, that's the name, how do you know Deputy Battalion Commander Cui?" The little soldier nodded happily, and then couldn't help but be frightened when he saw my appearance, and asked nervously: "Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, I, I didn't make a mistake!" ”

"Nope!" I shook my head: "But it's a mistake to use these kits again!" Don't give these first aid kits to the wounded again, get it? ”

"Yes!" The little soldier didn't understand what was going on, but he still stood up.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yongxin also seemed to see that something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at me suspiciously.

"Quick, help me go to see Captain Chu!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yongxin and Huzi answered, and they helped me to walk towards the regiment headquarters left and right.

The reason why I know what Wuhan Fuhua 'medicine' cotton factory is is because in history, after Li Yinting, the director of this manufacturer of first-aid kits for the volunteer army, received 10,000 catties of cotton 'flowers' from the state, he actually replaced all of them with waste cotton. Most of this waste cotton is picked up from garbage dumps, and some of it is even used in hospitals. In this way, tens of thousands of first-aid kits with antiseptic, tetanus, and gangrene were sent to the front line without being sterilized, which directly led to a large number of non-combat casualties among volunteer soldiers.

"Report to the Captain!" After walking for a while and asking several fighters, I finally found the regimental headquarters.

Commander Chu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw us, and opened his mouth to scold: "What kind of fame, your deputy battalion commander and company commander have all gone to the rear, do you want to fight this battle?" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and then I realized that I had let the two company commanders escort me, which was really a bit of a mistake, but at this time, I didn't care so much, and I saluted and said, "Report to Regiment Commander Chu, something happened." The first aid kit we use is poisonous."

"What?. Hearing this, Captain Chu couldn't help but be stunned, Chen Ye, who was originally looking at the map intently, couldn't help but raise his head, and Zhao Yongxin and Huzi looked at me like monsters when they heard this.

"Speak clearly!" Head Chu frowned, and asked solemnly, "What's going on?" How do you know that a first aid kit is poisonous? ”

"This was asked by Captain Chu, but I stopped asking, I only thought about reporting the poisoning of the first aid kit to my superiors along the way, but I didn't think of how to explain.

"Was it poisoned by the enemy?" Chen Ye couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "It's not easy to poison the first aid kit without knowing it!" Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, are you mistaken? ”

"Not really." I replied: "It's the capitalists, in order to make money, they use broken and dirty cotton 'flowers' to replace good cotton 'flowers', and the cotton 'flowers' we use now are all germs!" If this wound is infected, the minor injury will be 'made' into a serious injury, and the seriously injured may be sacrificed! ”

"Is there such a thing?" Hearing this, Head Chu couldn't help but take a 'pump'.

"These *** capitalists!" Huzi seemed to believe it immediately, and immediately gritted his teeth and scolded: "Let's fight the enemy here, they will stab the knife in the back!" ”

"Regiment commander, political commissar" Zhao Yongxin frowned and said: "If the first aid kits of the whole army are removed, it will not be a trivial matter!" All of our soldiers will have no 'medicine' for them! ”

"That's right!" Political Commissar Chen Ye also nodded and said: "But if the first-aid kit is really poisonous, it is not a trivial matter, and there are many wounded after a few days of fighting, if this thing is true, we must not let the soldiers continue to be subjected to the *** of the capitalists!" We must raise this question to the level of class struggle, and we must not allow the trickery of the frenzied capitalists to succeed! We must resolutely fight to the end against these capitalists who hinder the development of New China! ”

After a pause, Political Commissar Chen Ye continued to ask: "Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, the information you provided is very important, but how did you get this information?" ”

"This," I couldn't help scratching my head in embarrassment, my head was 'messy' for a while, and then I opened my mouth and said nonsense: "I used to be a worker in the Wuhan Fuhua 'medicine' cotton factory, and I heard a few capitalists talk about replacing good cotton 'flowers' with rotten cotton 'flowers', and I can't see it when the 'hairy' three rotten cotton 'flowers' are bleached, even if the wounded are infected, most people will not think that it is the cause of cotton 'flowers'." I didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, but this time I saw the cotton 'flower' of the first-aid kit and asked casually, but I didn't expect that this first-aid kit was really produced by the Wuhan Fuhua 'medicine' cotton factory."

"Hmm! It looks like they've been doing this for more than a day or two." Chen Ye couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "Lao Chu, this is a big deal, New China has just been established, and there are still some *** forces in the country, and now we see that our large army is going abroad to fight, and these *** forces are stupid and 'wanting' to move, we must be cautious about this matter!" ”

"Hmm". I couldn't help but be taken aback when I heard this, my original intention was just to let the volunteers not increase unnecessary casualties because of those rotten cotton 'flowers', but I didn't expect this matter to rise to this height.

"I agree!" Head Chu nodded seriously: "This matter must be reported to the superior in detail, but how can we be sure that there is a problem with the first aid kit?" ”

Everyone was stunned when Commander Chu said this, although this first-aid kit can be sent back to China to test whether there is a problem, but this time it has come and gone, and the volunteers don't know how many more people will die during this time.

"That's it!" After thinking for a while, Chen Ye raised his head and said, "Let's make a phone call to the Ministry of Health and Security to ask about the situation of the wounded and sick!" ”

"Good way!" Head Chu nodded and agreed: "If there is really a problem with this first-aid kit, the treatment of the wounded and sick will definitely be different!" ”

So without saying a word, Head Chu quickly connected the phone from the Ministry of Health.

"Hey, Ministry of Health?

"Hmmm! I am Chu Chuanyu, the commander of the old division of the army! ”

"That's right, I'll ask about the sick and wounded!"

"Oh" uh-huh, uh-huh! ”

Seeing Captain Chu listening to the phone, his face became more and more ugly, and my heart also followed. What if the first aid kit is fine? So my question will also be raised to a political level, and it will be said to be *** or something, and it will be me who will be censored at that time. Please, I can't stand political censorship as an identity, I don't even know who I am."

But from another point of view, I would prefer that this first aid kit is fine. Because after all, it is the life of the volunteers, they did not die on the battlefield, but died on the cotton 'flowers' of the capitalists,

"Okay, thanks for your answer, goodbye".

At this time, the head of the Chu regiment put down the phone with a pale face, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to him.

"How?" Political Commissar Chen Ye asked anxiously.

"The problem with Deputy Battalion Commander Cui's reaction should exist!" Commander Chu slammed a punch on the table: "In the case that I didn't mention that there is a problem with the first-aid kit, the Ministry of Health said that the wound infection of the wounded soldier recently is very serious, and it is suspected that it is a problem with the soldiers' own hygiene. ”

"These capitalists who eat people and don't spit out bones!" Chen Ye slammed the cigarette butt in his hand, and his 'chest' rose and fell violently, and it seemed that he was not lightly angry.

"*** bastard!" Huzi was almost about to cry, squatting on it and scolding fiercely: "If this bastard lets me touch it, I will tear him alive."

"Captain!" Zhao Yongxin asked puzzledly: "I know that this is a problem with the first aid kit, why don't you tell the Ministry of Health?" This, this also makes the wounded fighters"

"It's not a small thing." Chen Yewei replied: "This is the matter of the entire Volunteer Army, and it is necessary to report to the superiors and let the superiors make a decision."

"You go back to your posts first!" Commander Chu then ordered: "Go back and 'hand' the health officer on behalf of the health officer for the time being, don't use the first-aid kit to treat the wounded, wait for the order of the superior!" ”

"In addition," Political Commissar Chen Ye said again: "Don't talk about this matter with other causes, lest it cause 'commotion' and 'chaos' and hit the morale of the soldiers!" ”

"Yes!" The three of us answered the call and turned around and walked out of the air-raid 'shelter'.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" On the way back to the position, Zhao Yongxin said with emotion: "I can't figure out how much more money those capitalists can make by tossing so much?" But in order to make so much more money, they made us sacrifice so many good soldiers! These are all living human lives! ”

"Phew". Huzi couldn't help but scolded: "Company Commander Zhao, you are rare and strange, when I was working as a long-term worker for the landlord, I accidentally 'spilled' a bowl of wine on him, and I almost beat him to death!" How can those landlords and capitalists treat us as human beings, and how can they still take our lives in their eyes! Their conscience has long been eaten by dogs! ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this, in fact, it is not only a businessman with a conscience in this era, but also a businessman in modern times. Fake 'medicine', fake wine, fake plastic surgery, poisonous 'milk' powder, poisonous cow ni" emerge one after another, and I haven't been a journalist for long in modern times, but I can't count the things I have come into contact with.

How can those unscrupulous businessmen care about other people's lives! Just to put a few more dollars in their pockets, they can sacrifice other people's lives, they can ruin the happiness of other people's lives, and even a child's future.

The incident mentioned in the article about Li Yinting, a 'medicine' cotton factory in Wuhan, using dirty cotton 'flowers' to make a first-aid kit and then sending it to the front line to resist US aggression and aid Korea is true, and Li Yinting was shot dead after the incident. ,If you want to know what's going on,Please log in to the speaker,More chapters,Support the author,Support genuine reading!
