Chapter 697: Placement of the Wounded
Xu Rui finally set the time for the breakthrough at 0:00 in the morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the one hand, it is necessary to leave enough time to prepare in advance, after all, the breakthrough is a systematic project, not to open the gap, and then take the troops out, because after the troops go out, they still have to fight and eat, right? So you have to bring enough provisions, but it takes time to distribute and pack the provisions.
Again, the breakthrough time can't be too late, otherwise the little devil's plane will fly over as soon as it dawns, and it will be difficult to get rid of the devil's tracking at that time, and if you can't quickly disengage with the devil, once the devil is entangled, the breakthrough is likely to turn into a rout, and then the troops will herd sheep.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Xu Rui set the time at zero o'clock, which not only set aside a certain amount of time to prepare supplies, but also left enough time to get rid of the devil.
After the breakout time was set, Zhao Baishi immediately came to the medical station next door to the regiment headquarters.
The medical station housed all the wounded, and it was filled with the smell of disinfectant potion.
Due to the interception of materials from Jiujiang Station, the medicine was quite sufficient, and all the wounded were treated in a timely manner, so the mood of the wounded was quite stable, in fact, compared with the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, the medical conditions of the wounded of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army could already be called a luxury.
In the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, many wounded even ended up amputated or even died because of a lack of medicine because of a small injury such as a scald, but now, the 799th Regiment has enough medicine, not to mention scalds, even serious injuries such as bullet penetration, and there is a chance to survive.
But not all injuries heal in time!
In particular, those seriously wounded will not be able to recover as they were before they will be recuperated in 10 days and half a month, and how to resettle the seriously wounded will become a difficult problem as soon as the troops are about to break through.
Commanding a battle is such a thing, Zhao Baishi can rely on Xu Rui.
But for such a thing as the placement of the wounded, Zhao Baishi felt that Xu Rui should not be allowed to be a villain, as the commander of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, this was his responsibility.
"Tuanza."
"Big brother."
"Tuanza."
"Tuanza."
Seeing Zhao Baishi walk in, many seriously injured people who could still move struggled to stand up, these wounded were relatively lightly injured, or recovered better, and they could already move on the ground, but if they wanted to march like normal people, it was absolutely impossible, and they still needed a longer period of recuperation.
Zhao Baishi shook hands with the wounded one by one, and said a few words from time to time.
A moment later, Zhao Baishi came to the small courtyard where the seriously injured were housed.
Seeing Zhao Baishi push the door and walk in, the doctor who was changing the dressing for the wounded immediately turned his head to look over.
Guan Mengran, the doctor who diagnosed Xu Rui at the beginning, the doctor who had studied in Japan and opened a clinic in Jiujiang City, had asked Xu Rui to be forcibly recruited as a military doctor with the army.
"Head Zhao, please go out." Guan Mengran said unceremoniously, "The wounded need to rest." ”
"Doctor Guan, I'll just say a few words." Zhao Baishi was not angry, and after speaking, he turned his head and said to the wounded outside, "And you all come in, I have something to say to you." ”
When the wounded outside walked in, Zhao Baishi sighed and said: "Brothers, I don't want to hide it from you, the battle of Wuhan has been lost, Chairman Jiang has just issued a general retreat order, and the main force of the millions of national troops who are fighting fiercely with the little devils on the battlefields of Jiangbei, Jiangnan and Gao'an are about to retreat on all fronts." ”
"Huh?"
"Total retreat?"
"How so?"
"What about Jiujiang?"
"What are we going to do?"
All the seriously injured people looked at each other when they heard this.
Zhao Baishi continued: "Chief Xue's First Corps will not fight to Jiujiang again, and it is already meaningless for us to defend Jiujiang again, and Chief Xue has just given us an order, ordering our 799th Regiment to break through in the direction of Mahuiling Town, and the Commander's Department will send the 74th Army to Mahuiling Town to meet us." ”
"Breakout?"
"Are you going to break out?"
Including the seriously wounded of the garrison brigade, the expressions of nearly two hundred seriously wounded at the scene dimmed in an instant, and many of them had already guessed what Zhao Baishi wanted to say.
If the wounded are brought in, 200 seriously wounded will require 400 soldiers to carry stretchers, and now the 799th Regiment plus the puppet army garrison brigade is fully equipped with more than 700 officers and men, which means that if the wounded are brought in, the actions of the entire unit will be greatly affected, and the success rate of breaking through will be greatly reduced.
At that moment, a seriously wounded man said with tears in his eyes: "Tuanzuo, you can take the brothers and go, leave us alone, just leave a grenade for each of us, that is, when you return to your hometown in Sichuan, don't forget to send a message back to my home, just say, let my sister stop waiting for me, and find a good family to marry." ”
In the end, this seriously injured man was already in tears, crying silently, Zhao Baishi nodded vigorously, and at the same time burst into tears, his heart was like a knife in the hinge, what a good soldier, all veterans, once the injuries on his body healed, he would immediately be a good man alive again, but he had to grit his teeth and sacrifice them!
Although they are reluctant, they can't do it without sacrifice, and if they are not sacrificed, the whole group of brothers will not survive!
"Tuanzao, give me a gun, and then carry me up the position." There was even a wounded man who grabbed Zhao Baishi's trouser leg and said, "I don't want to die here, my Lao Li is dead, and I will definitely die on the battlefield, on the road of charging, Tuanzuo, Tuanzuo, count me Lao Li begging you, carry me to the position." ”
Looking down at the wounded with hideous faces, Zhao Baishi was speechless.
After a long time, Zhao Baishi finally said: "Good brothers, all of them are my good brothers, worthy of being my soldiers, worthy of my Zhao Baishi's soldiers, I Zhao Baishi am extremely proud to have brothers like you!" If there is a next life, I will definitely be a brother with you, brother, and I will kneel down for you for the brothers of the whole group! ”
After speaking, Zhao Baishi really knelt on the ground and knocked his head with a knock.
Waited until Zhao Baishi finished kowtowing, and then stood up, but the corners of his forehead had been broken, and the blood flowed like an infusion, but Zhao Baishi didn't even bother to wipe it, turned his head and finally took a deep look at the wounded gathered in the yard, and then gritted his teeth and was about to turn away, but at this time, a sturdy figure suddenly appeared, blocking his way.
Zhao Baishi Huo Ran raised his head and saw Xu Rui walking in with a serious face.
Zhao Baishi still didn't want Xu Rui to act as a villain, so he wiped a handful of blood and tears and said: "Commander Xu, I have settled these wounded, and they will definitely not hold us back." ”
"Settled?" Xu Rui asked coldly, "How did you settle down?" ”
Zhao Baishi was speechless, and he didn't dare to face Xu Rui's terrifying eyes.
Xu Rui snorted and said: "Give the wounded a grenade and let them die with the devil, this is also called settlement?" That's how you became a chief? That's how you settled your brother? ”
Zhao Baishi's head immediately drooped, and he said miserably: "Why do I want to do this? ”
"If you don't want to, why do you?" Xu Rui scolded sharply, "No one forced you again!" ”
"No one forced me to do this, but if I didn't, none of the brothers in the group would survive." Zhao Baishi Huo Ran raised his head and said with tears streaming down his face, "How can it be so easy to break through, if we bring the seriously wounded again, we will not be able to break through at all, and then we will have to be all finished!" ”
Xu Rui said coldly: "In my opinion, you are making excuses for yourself!" ”
Just as Leng Tiefeng came in with a few wolf fangs, Xu Rui said sharply: "Veteran, tell Regiment Commander Zhao what is the instruction of our independent regiment?" ”
Leng Tiefeng stood up and saluted: "Don't abandon, don't give up!" ”
Xu Rui asked again: "Why don't you abandon it?" ”
Leng Tiefeng replied: "No matter when, no matter what the situation, never abandon a comrade-in-arms!" ”
Xu Rui asked again: "Why don't you give up?" ”
Leng Tiefeng replied: "No matter how difficult it is, no matter how dangerous it is, never give up the belief in victory!" ”
Xu Rui turned his gaze to Zhao Baishi again, and said in a deep voice: "Since the formation of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, it has indeed won a lot of battles, including Commander Zhao, many people have asked me the same question, why is the Dameishan Independent Regiment so capable of fighting?" I'll tell you the answer now, either because of anything else, or because of these six words! ”
"Is it because of these six words?" Zhao Baishi was stunned, "Don't abandon, don't give up?" ”
"Yes, don't abandon or give up, just because of these six words!" Xu Rui nodded heavily, turned his fierce gaze to the wounded who gathered over, and said, "Brothers, it is said that you are not my Xu Rui's soldiers, and I am not your regimental commander, I shouldn't have said these things to you, but now I have to say it!" ”
After a pause, Xu Rui suddenly raised his voice and said: "That's all I have to say, no matter when, no matter where, I will not leave you, let alone watch you die with the little devil!" Even if Regiment Leader Zhao wants to do this, I will never allow it, I won't agree! ”
A wounded man stepped forward and said with tears in his eyes: "Commander Xu, don't blame us for the group, he didn't actually force us, this is all our willingness, because if you take us, the brothers of the whole regiment will not survive, rather than the whole group of brothers die here, it is better to sacrifice us." ”
"How to take you to prominence, that's my business." Xu Rui said domineeringly, "As for you, the only thing to do now is to heal your injuries and return to the team as soon as possible!" (To be continued.) )
