Chapter 3 Flashlight

Before we could rush into the air-raid 'shelter', the roar of enemy planes fell on our heads. With a few muffled sounds, several flares exploded over us, and the pale and blinding light illuminated the small village where we were originally unable to reach out to the eye.

Seeing the target, the US fighter planes soon let out a strange roar and swooped down from the air, followed by a familiar and terrifying "whining ......" sound, and bombs fell from the sky and exploded around the village one after another.

Xiao Zhao didn't dare to stop for a moment, and helped me to run quickly in the direction of the air-raid 'shelter'. But because my foot injury has not healed yet, I can't run fast with a limp, and I am falling behind a lot before I know it.

Suddenly, there was a dull whistling sound of bombs in the air, and I couldn't help but be startled, I had been bombed by enemy planes, and I could tell that the bomb was not far from us. In normal times, I would have run desperately, but now......

Just as I was thinking about pushing Xiao Zhao away, I didn't expect a strong force to come from beside me, and I was crushed to the ground when Xiao Zhao shouted: "Be careful".

......With a loud bang, a bomb exploded more than ten meters away from us, and a wooden house next to us was raised a few meters at the moment of the explosion, and then smashed back to the ground in dozens of large and small pieces in the blazing firelight. Wooden blocks were mixed with shrapnel and flew everywhere with a whistling sound. In particular, the wood chips that had been blown apart flew like sharp arrows to my head, and 'sticked' deep into the hard earth.

"Xiao Zhao Xiao Zhao ......" After reacting, I immediately crawled out from under Xiao Zhao. But it was too late, Xiao Zhao's back was already a blur of flesh and blood, with shrapnel and sharp wood chips, large and small, densely 'inserted' more than a dozen, from head to toe......

"Chief of Staff...... Quick, air raid 'hole'" This was the last sentence Xiao Zhao said, and it was also the last sentence he left in this world.

I couldn't help but be silent, this is not the first time that my comrades-in-arms sacrificed their lives for my survival. I don't know if other troops will be like this in other eras, but this is a common thing in the volunteer army, so much so that I have become a little accustomed to it. At first, I was a little ashamed and a little self-blaming, but then I slowly got used to it, and even thought that this was what it should be.

The battlefield is realistic, isn't it? The more people who can play a big role in the army, the more they should be protected. If that's not the case, then why do all *** have to be equipped with several guards? But now it's different, it's not on the battlefield, and he's not my guard. He...... Just a guard, a non-combatant. I should have picked up the gun to protect it

"Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze?"

Just as I was stunned at Xiao Zhao's corpse, Jin Qiulian rushed to my side at some point, pulling me to run in the direction of the air-raid 'shelter'. I broke free of her, and under her suspicious eyes, I bent down with difficulty, silently picked up Xiao Zhao's body, and limped towards the air raid 'shelter'.

Jin Qiulian was stunned for a while, and as soon as she stomped her feet, she helped me lift the body up from behind......

The inside of the air-raid 'shelter' was very dark and dark, perhaps because they were afraid of being discovered by Yankee planes, so they did not dare to light the lights. As soon as I walked in, I smelled a strong smell of blood, and the moans and shouts of some of the wounded, mixed with the crying of children, made people a little irritable.

After a while, after getting used to the light in the air-raid 'shelter', Jin Qiulian and I found a place to put Xiao Zhao's body down. As a nurse, Jin Qiulian had a glimmer of hope to check Xiao Zhao's injuries, but the result was as I expected, he had stopped breathing.

Jin Qiulian sat back beside me silently, I don't know if it was because the air-raid 'shelter' was too crowded, or because the North Korean 'girl' was bold, or because the darkness in the air-raid 'shelter' allowed her to ignore the eyes of others, she sat down and leaned on my shoulder tightly.

I didn't shy away from it, because at this time, my mind was full of thoughts about the scene where Xiao Zhao sacrificed for me. By the time I felt something different around me, Jin Qiulian had already fallen asleep with me.

This girl, I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I saw this. The Yankees' planes were bombing indiscriminately outside, and the wounded and civilians in the air raid 'shelter' were all terrified, and she was able to fall asleep so quickly.

Then I quickly remembered a sentence from a roommate who claimed to be a lover in college, that if a 'girl' child can fall asleep next to you, it means that you have gained her unreserved trust, and that you can give her a sense of security and peace of mind......

When I think of this, I can't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart. What kind of enjoyment should it be to let a heroine like Jin Qiulian feel safe by my side, but then I thought about it, the guy who claimed to be a love saint also let his 'girlfriend' hide in the bed and cry so much, the ghost knows if what he said would be right

After more than half an hour, the bombing of the US planes finally stopped, and the planes went away with a whistling sound. Only then did the wounded and the people stand up and walk towards the 'cave', and only then did Jin Qiulian wake up. She looked at me in the dark, smiled, got up as if nothing had happened, and walked into the crowd. After walking a few steps and finding that I hadn't followed, he turned around and glared at me fiercely, and turned around and pulled me out in a bit of anger......

Outside the air-raid 'shelter', there was a mess everywhere, bomb craters, corpses, collapsed houses, and raging fires, and I couldn't believe that all this was the village in my impression. Those who put out fires, those who rescued the wounded, those who cried, and those who were 'chaotic' and coaxed were busy......

"This is the third time," Jin Qiulian, who was standing next to me, told me: "During this time, it seems that US imperialism is bombing hospitals exclusively at the 'door', and we have just moved here last month, and we have been bombed three times by enemy planes."

"Didn't you suspect a spy?" I asked casually.

"Why not?" Jin Qiulian replied: "But the puppet army spies are pervasive, and we can't prevent them if we want to, as long as they hide among the people, we can't do anything."

"The problem is that they are not hiding among the people"

"You mean......" Jin Qiulian looked at me with some shock: "You mean there are spies in our hospital?" ”

"I'm just skeptical," I replied, "knowing that the location of the hospital is simple, any agent can do it." A large number of wounded were sent here, as well as the bandages and sheets that you hung outside to dry, and even passers-by could tell at a glance that there was a field hospital. But the problem is ......"

"What is it?" Jin Qiulian looked at me curiously.

"The question is how the Yankee plane managed to find the location of the hospital in the dark," I replied, "Did you notice the flares dropped by the Yankee plane?" If they don't know where we are, they'll search for it with a light all the way. But they didn't, and a couple of flares hit us overhead"

"Maybe it's the lights," Jin Qiulian explained, "although the medical staff have done a good enough job, the people are not necessarily the same."

"Maybe" I smiled and nodded: "But the lights don't just follow the hospital"

"I'm going to get busy, and there must be a lot of wounded waiting for me at this moment." Jin Qiulian said as she put on a mask and shook her hand at me: "You go back to your room and analyze it slowly, it's best to arrest that spy out of the danger outside and avenge our comrades."

As soon as he spoke, he ran away without a trace.

Looking at Jin Qiulian's back, I couldn't help but sigh, seeing that she now wore a red cross on her shoulder and a mask on her face, I really couldn't imagine how she fought with the enemy on the battlefield with a rifle back then

Before I knew it, I was back in my room. It was then that I realized that the medical staff had taken special care of me, because this room was relatively independent, it was difficult to attract the attention of American pilots, and the fire in the other houses had not yet 'spilled' to this point. This is not? The other wards are more or less threatened, but of course there is nothing to do in my ward, except for Xiao Zhao, the hygienist who has died.

No, I can't just ignore it

Looking at the safe and sound ward in front of me, I thought of Xiao Zhao who had just sacrificed for me, and I couldn't go to the ward with my raised feet.

After thinking about it, he turned around and walked towards the house that leaned against the big tree to the north.

It is the office of the dean, Zhang Deshui, and I have lived in Xiyang for so long, and I have learned some about it. Dean Zhang also came to see me a few times, so I know where he lives. It's just that most of the time, it is not suitable for specialization in the volunteer army, and for me, the chief of staff, President Zhang also tried his best to treat me as an ordinary patient, so I never went to his office. That's why I've been hesitant to ask about the spies.

"Is Dean Zhang here?" When I came to the 'door', I asked myself about the sentry at the gate.

These sentries guarding the 'gate' were volunteer soldiers who had been arranged by the troops to protect the hospital from being sabotaged by the puppet army spies, and they were a guard company of the 31st Division, and the company commander was Li Guohui. Of course, these people know that I am the number one person in the hospital, and they usually pestered me with the wounded and sick, and asked me to introduce some combat experience, and they had already become one.

At this time, the sentry had already recognized me, and immediately 'stood up' and said, "Report to the chief of staff, Dean Zhang has gone to the entrance of the village to treat the wounded."

"And what about Company Commander Li?" I asked again.

It is still Company Commander Li who is in charge of the safety of the medical team, and it seems more appropriate to find him.

"Company Commander Li took the soldiers to fight the fire" The sentry raised his head and looked for a while in the busy crowd opposite, then pointed to a person and said, "Where to ...... Do you want me to call him over? ”

"I don't have to go on my own"

limped towards the fire, and after a long distance, he heard Company Commander Li shouting loudly: "Hurry up, water...... The one behind keeps up."

"Company Commander Li," I beckoned to Li Guohui.

Li Guohui looked back, recognized me, hurriedly handed the bucket in his hand to the soldier beside him, ran to my side and said, "Chief of Staff, why are you not safe outside, let's go back to the house."

"Company Commander Li, I have something I want to discuss with you......

"Chief of Staff" Li Guohui interrupted me and said: "Although your official is older than me, your identity here is a patient, and I have to protect your safety if you are a patient here." Whatever happens, let's go back to the house first."

"I'm here to talk to you about enemy agents," I replied.

Company Commander Li couldn't help but be stunned, nodded, and immediately helped me to walk towards the office, and whispered at the same time: "Let's talk in the house."

After entering the courtyard and sitting down in the main room in the middle, Company Commander Li enthusiastically poured me a glass of water and said: "Chief of Staff, I won't hide it from you, in fact, we also suspect that there are enemy spies lurking in the inside, but the enemy is very cunning, and we can't catch their tails."

"Didn't the patrols find any problems?" I asked, "For example, before the enemy planes were about to bomb, did anyone use the lights to *** the target?" ”

"No" Company Commander Li replied with certainty: "I was bombed by the Yankees three times a month, and I, the company commander, could not escape the blame, so I personally led the patrol these days and nights, and I never found any abnormal movements when the number of people was counted, and I didn't see any lights that were enough to *** the target."

"That's weird" Listening to Company Commander Li's words, I was also puzzled.

"Oh, it turned out to be the chief of staff...... At this time, Dean Dai Zhang came back, and after he entered the room, he nodded at me, and thoughtfully washed the blood stains on his hands in the basin next to him.

"Another 21 lives," Dean Zhang sighed, "U.S. imperialism has added another stroke to their accumulated crimes"

"That's why the chief of staff is here," Company Commander Li replied, "The chief of staff thinks exactly what we do, and suspects that there are enemy spies lurking in our troops."

"The enemy's purpose is to undermine the morale of our front-line troops," he wiped his hands on the 'wool' towel, and Dean Zhang sat down at the table and said heavily: "Our medical equipment, personnel, and 'medicine' are already in short supply, and now we are bombed by enemy planes one after another, and it is even more clumsy. The wounded sent down from the front line are not well treated, and there is even no 'medicine' to treat, which will have a very bad impact on the troops, and will greatly damage the morale of our troops, and the imperialist intentions are really sinister."

I agree with Dean Zhang's words, the volunteers are heroic in battle, but there is a saying that "when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds". The Volunteer Army is a big forest, a big forest with hundreds of thousands of people at every turn. In this forest, there will inevitably be people of all levels. There are brave and cowardly, and at the same time there are those who are between brave and cowardly. And those who are somewhere between bravery and cowardice make up a considerable part.

This makes us need morale, we need encouragement. In fact, any army throughout the ages has needed these. It's just that the morale of the troops with poor quality is usually not very high, and no amount of encouragement will help.

There is no doubt that the medical conditions are a blow to the morale of the troops. I still remember that his name was Xu Liang, who was originally a brave and good soldier, but when he saw that other soldiers were injured and committed suicide because there was no "medicine" to treat him, he deserted and became a deserter......

"Have the insiders checked it?" Then I asked.

"It's been investigated," Company Commander Li nodded: "Including every patient who comes in......"

Speaking of this, Company Commander Li couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, I knew what he meant, he even checked it out with me. It is said that there is no need for a person like me to check again, but this also shows that Company Commander Li is serious and responsible in his work attitude.

"We focused our investigation on the comrades of the People's Army," Company Commander Li continued: "There are 23 comrades of the People's Army in the medical personnel, five of them in the combat unit, and one interpreter, but we secretly sent people to observe them, and there was no change in anything."

"Hmm" I nodded, and Company Commander Li first suspected that the North Koreans were also reasonable, North Korea and South Korea were originally the same people, spoke the same language, and even some people lived in places that were 'mixed' with each other, and it was too easy to infiltrate.

However, I also thought that the reason why the enemy agents were able to infiltrate so secretly would not 'expose' such a big flaw, so the focus of the investigation should be within our own people that we couldn't imagine

"I can't figure it out no matter how I think about it," Company Commander Li Huo Di stood up and said: "If the enemy agents want to guide the US planes to bomb, what else is there if it is not a light at night?" This spy is lighting up our lamp, and the Yankee's plane can be seen from far away in the sky, but we can't see it on the ground......"

"What?" Hearing Company Commander Li's words, I couldn't help but be taken aback, turned to Company Commander Li and said, "Company Commander Li, immediately lead people to search the roof from house to house, especially the roof with two or three floors."

"Searching the roof?" Hearing this, Company Commander Li couldn't help but be stunned, hesitated for a while, nodded anyway, and set off with people without saying anything.

Company Commander Li's words reminded me that the Yankees' plane can be seen in the sky, but we can't see it on the ground. Indeed, there is such a thing, and the junior high school physics teacher told us that the diffuse reflex 'shooting' can be seen from any angle, so it will not be a kerosene lamp. However, the mirror reflection can only be seen from one angle, and there seems to be such a thing around us, that is, a flashlight. If you put a flashlight on the roof and the light shines straight into the sky, it will be difficult for people on the ground to notice the light it emitted, and even if they do, they will think it is moonlight......

Now I just hope that the roofs that have been left behind will not happen to be blown up by the Yankees' planes
