Chapter Twenty-Three: Lu Man

When Wan Quance, chief of staff of the 1st brigade, received the news that the acting brigade commander was seriously wounded, it was already noon.

Brigade Commander Zhou Zhenqiang was injured and left Nanjing City for only two days, and the acting brigade commander, who had only met once, lay down in a hospital bed again.

He was very anxious, but there was no way, the last guard platoon let Zhou Zhenqiang take the position, and only himself and a few staff officers and a few telegraphers were left in the brigade headquarters.

He made up his mind and said to the remaining personnel of the brigade headquarters: "Now I want to go to the position, you can go to the headquarters of the general corps, just say that you go on my orders, or you can go to the front line with me, you choose for yourself." ”

Wan Quance was disappointed, and only one telegraph was willing to follow him to the battlefield. In fact, he also knew in his heart that it would be a great waste to let these staff officers and telegraph officers from military academies go to the battlefield.

He asked the telegrapher, "What's your name?" Why not go to the headquarters like them? ”

"My name is Dong Wenbin, a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu." The telegraph man replied. "The capital is going to be lost, where are we going to run? It's better to fight to the death with the little devil on the battlefield. ”

The young man said it very plainly, and there was no way to refute it.

With the guards and his only soldier, the three of them came to the position of the 2nd Regiment.

Zhou Hainan and Zhang Xiaohu were staring at each other in the bunker, and when they were at a loss, Wan Quance walked in.

Zhou Hainan recognized it as the chief of staff of the brigade, his eyes were shining, and he choked up and said: "Chief of staff, you are finally here, if the support troops don't come, the second regiment will be finished." ”

Wan Quance was stunned and didn't know how to answer him.

Dong Wenbin, who was on the side, said: "The support troops are all in front of you. ”

Zhou Hainan didn't react, didn't understand what the second lieutenant officer meant, and looked at the chief of staff, Wan Quance.

Zhang Xiaohu understood, and his originally hopeful eyes immediately dimmed, like the eyes of a dead goldfish.

"Without support troops, the entire brigade is just us!" The chief of staff's words ruthlessly extinguished Zhou Hainan's hopes, and his originally smiling face immediately turned into the lifeless look he had just now.

"How's the group?" Zhang Xiaohu opened his mouth and asked, although he said that he had been following Sun Yumin for a short time, he had known him for more than two years. During the expansion, two people were transferred from different units to the 2nd Regiment of the Corps.

After getting along for a period of time, Zhang Xiaohu regarded him as an idol. Learn everything from him, every word and deed, every move, and even the tone and frustration of speech are very similar. Now Sun Yumin is seriously injured, which makes him very worried and anxious.

Wan Quance shook his head and said, "I don't know, he was still in the operating room when I came." ”

Wan Quance asked some questions on the battlefield, and Zhou Hainan truthfully reported to him, and while the three of them were talking, a report came in.

Zhou Hainan and Zhang Xiaohu didn't know the person who came, thinking that they were here to find Wanquance, so they ignored him. Wan Quance thought it was a soldier of the Second Regiment and ignored him.

The soldier who shouted the report paused at the door, very embarrassed. Seeing that no one paid attention to him for a long time, he shouted loudly again: "Report!" ”

Seeing that no one in the bunker paid attention to him, Dong Wenbin opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Report, I am from the guard battalion of the headquarters headquarters, because the phone here is no longer available, so the captain sent me to give orders."

As soon as they heard the word order, Wan Quance, Zhou Hainan, and Zhang Xiaohu immediately looked over.

"May I ask who is the head of the second regiment?" The soldier asked.

"What's the matter? You said. Wan Quance said.

"Commander Sun, the chief captain orders you to go to the headquarters of the headquarters to find him immediately. The captain also said that you can bring two or three people with you, and I want you to rush over immediately! The soldier who came to give the order hurriedly said.

Zhang Xiaohu and Zhou Hainan heard it in a fog, but Wan Quance, the old Jianghu, understood as soon as he heard it, this was an official who was about to run away. It's just that he doesn't understand why the person surnamed Gui wants to run, why he wants to bring this acting brigade commander who has just been promoted.

Zhou Hainan saw that the order was related to Sun Yumin, so he said: "Our regiment is seriously injured, and we are still being rescued in the corps hospital, and we may not be able to obey the orders of General Gui." Why don't you go to the corps hospital? ”

Before the herald could hear Zhou Hainan's words, he ran back.

Gui Yongqing learned from the herald that Sun Yumin had been injured. The phone was no longer working, the 1st Brigade existed in name only, and the 2nd Regiment did not send anyone to report, so it was normal for him not to know. In fact, not only the 2nd Regiment, but also all the defensive lines of the teaching corps troops on the frontal battlefield basically lost contact with him.

Tang Shengzhi, commander of the Nanjing garrison, had already given orders for all parts to retreat.

According to the order, the corps will be the second batch of troops to withdraw from the position, and Gui Yongqing was quite satisfied with this plan at that time. But who would have expected that at noon on the 12th, the position of the 88th Division of the National Army guarding Yuhuatai was broken through by the Japanese Sixth Division's Gu Shoufu Division, and the commander of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, Gao Zhisong, and the commander of the 264th Brigade, Zhu Chishuang, both died in Yuhuatai. Immediately, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army surrounded the Zhonghua Gate defended by the 87th Division, and the Zhonghua Gate was broken through at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Yi Hua'an, the commander of the 87th Brigade of the 259th Division guarding the Zhonghua Gate, was martyred. If it weren't for the arrival of night, the Japanese army basically did not fight at night, Guanghuamen was probably more auspicious, and it was impossible to retreat tomorrow. So Gui Yongqing hurriedly sent a herald, he wanted to take away his savior, Sun Yumin, who was also a prodigy with soldiers. The troops in the city are also weak, but with his foundation above, it is not difficult to raise a new army or retake control of it.

When the herald reported that Sun Yumin was injured and sent to the hospital for treatment, he felt very sorry in his heart. I was not very dead hearted, so I took my adjutant and guards to the field hospital of the corps a few hundred meters away from the headquarters.

The Czech bullets in Sun Yumin's hand were gone, and there was no spare magazine.

His mind went completely blank as he charged, as if a stream of blood had suddenly rushed to his head. It may be Zhou Hong's sacrifice, and Li Tie's recklessness deeply stimulated him.

As soon as the bullets were finished, Sun Yumin threw away the Czech, picked up a 38 cover with a bayonet on the corpse of the devil soldier, and faced the Japanese army on the opposite side in a loud charge. After overthrowing three Japanese soldiers in a row, Sun Yumin already felt his hands tremble and his feet were weak.

The high-intensity bayonet fight consumes people's physical strength, Sun Yumin wants to scold his mother, in the movies and TV series of his previous life, he could kill dozens or hundreds of devils with a knife, which is complete bullshit. He had only been fighting for less than five minutes with his bayonet, and his hands were so heavy that he could not lift them up as if they had been filled with lead, and his mouth was spewing rough air. When his bayonet stabbed into a devil soldier again, Sun Yumin was too tired to pull out his bayonet. A drop of sweat left from his forehead and slid into his eye sockets, and Sun Yumin immediately felt discomfort in his eyes. When he reached out to wipe it, a cold light flashed into his eyelids, followed by a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and a sharp knife had pierced his body. Sun Yumin watched as a flying 38 cover overturned the Japanese soldier Shaozuo who stabbed him, and he also fell to the sky, and in a daze, the familiar gunshot of the box cannon and Liu Wenzhi's heart-rending call sounded in his ears. In the swaying, Sun Yumin felt that his eyelids were so heavy and heavy, and he fell asleep involuntarily.

In his sleep, he saw that the Guanghuamen position was broken by the Japanese army, and Lao Liu Tou, Zhou Hong, Zhou Hainan, Liu Wenzhi, Li Tiedan, Zhang Xiaohu and the stones were tied up by the Japanese army and stabbed to death at the gate of Guanghuamen one by one. Deng Xiufen and Chen Yun were also escorted out, and when the bayonet of the devil soldier stabbed Chen Yun's body, he shouted loudly: "No! The man jumped up.

Sun Yumin struggled desperately, but his two hands and two feet were pressed by someone, he breathed rapidly, gasping in his mouth, and a strange pain in his lower abdomen spread to his brain. An unfamiliar voice in his ear kept calling his name, forcing him to open his eyes.

"Thank goodness you're finally awake!"

The unfamiliar female voice reached his ears again.

Sun Yumin saw several people in white coats surrounding him.

"Where is this?" Sun Yumin's voice was very weak.

"Field Hospital!" A pleasant female voice replied, Sun Yumin knew this voice, and the previous call and the previous sentence were also said by this voice.

He looked over to the voice, and it was a girl dressed as a nurse, and her appearance was very cute, especially the two big eyes, which made him feel very familiar.

Deng Xiufen? By the way, this girl smells a lot like Deng Xiufen! Especially the naughty energy revealed in his eyes.

"How did I end up here? What about my soldiers? What about my position? Sun Yumin asked anxiously.

"Your soldiers and your positions are there. You can put your mind at ease. A majestic voice came from behind.

The doctors and nurses surrounding him moved out of the way, and an officer with the rank of major general approached and answered his questions.

Sun Yumin saw that he was the captain of the teaching corps Gui Yongqing, and wanted to get up to salute him, but he was stimulated by the sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his head. Two people behind Gui Yongqing hurriedly walked to his bed, pressed him on the bed, and said in a choked voice: "Tuanza, you lie down and don't move, the general seat won't blame you." ”

Sun Yumin saw that it was Li Tiedan and Liu Wenzhi, and he was still angry with Li Tiedan now, so when he saw him, he glanced at Liu Wenzhi and asked him, "Why are you here?" ”

The two did not answer.

Gui Yongqing interrupted him and said anxiously: "There is not so much time now, you two carry him on a stretcher and follow me." He commanded Li Tiedan and Liu Wenzhi, and said to the two guards beside him: "You two also go to help!" ”

Sun Yumin hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Gui Yongqing didn't answer, he was whispering something to the doctor next to him, and the doctor kept nodding.

When Li Tiedan, Liu Wenzhi and the guard were about to carry him onto the stretcher, Sun Yumin was anxious and shouted: "Don't move me, if you move me again, I will bite my tongue and kill myself." ”

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Sun Yumin endured the severe pain of the wound that he had just spoken loudly, and said to Gui Yongqing: "Boss, I know that you are going to take me away and take me out of Nanjing." ”

Gui Yongqing looked at him and did not speak.

"I don't know if the order to retreat was given to the second regiment, but whether it was down to the second regiment or not, I will be with them. I told them that I would not abandon them, whether they lived or died. ”

Gui Yongqing still didn't speak, staring at Sun Yumin with sharp eyes.

"The Ende Sun Yumin of the general seat is in my heart, but if I break my promise, then even if I live in this world, I will not be at ease for the rest of my life."

"Chief, you are the one who has led thousands of troops, and you know what commitment means to a soldier. If I am a perfidy, what is the use of you taking me with me? ”

The wound on his lower abdomen became more and more painful, and Sun Yumin's face was a little deformed.

After listening to his words, Gui Yongqing breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Sun Yumin: "I don't force you, I just hope you can take care!" ”

Turning around to leave, it seemed that something had come to mind. He turned around and said to him: "In the afternoon, Yuhuatai and Zhonghua Gate have been lost, and Nanjing City will definitely not be able to hold it." Now that the troops of my teaching corps on the line from Guanghuamen to Purple Mountain are in a predicament, don't be too reckless, retreat with the remaining officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment, just say that it is an order issued by me. After a pause, he said, "It would be better if we could send people to inform the other regiments to retreat." ”

Gui Yongqing was about to leave, when a timid female voice said, "Can I stay and take care of him?" ”

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the voice, by the words, and they all looked that way.

Sun Yumin saw that it was the female nurse who was very similar to Deng Xiufen.

"Captain Sun's wound is very deep, and it has formed a penetrating wound, although the doctor has sutured it for him, such a wound is still very susceptible to infection. Without medicine and professional care, Head Sun would still not be able to survive. The female nurse continued.

"So I want to stay and take care of him."

Gui Yongqing didn't expect that a little girl would have such a compassionate mind, and asked her, "What's your name?" You also heard what I said just now, Nanjing City can no longer be defended, are you not afraid of death? ”

"Report to the general seat, my name is Lu Man. I'm not afraid of death, even if I die, I don't regret dying with a hero like Captain Sun. The female nurse named Lu Man replied loudly.

Lu Man didn't want to stay and take care of this head Sun on a whim. In the afternoon, she was nursing the wounded who had just been sent in front of her, when she suddenly saw a big man running towards him with a bloody man holding a Japanese command knife stuck in his abdomen. The other man grabbed the blade half an inch above the wound with his hand to prevent the blade from being pulled and injuring the internal organs.

The two men ran up to him, crying very sadly, and shouted at her: "Save our regimental leader!" Doctor, help! Until the officer who was stabbed in the stomach with a knife was sent to the operating room for rescue, two men with five big and three thick were still squatting at the door and crying. At that time, she wondered what kind of officer this was. She was deeply touched when she heard these words from the head of the regiment with a scar on his face in the ward. She said to herself: If I don't help this regiment leader live, can I be at ease in this life?

Gui Yongqing was shocked by these two people tonight, in his heart, there has always been only high-ranking officials, there has always been intrigues, and the only relationship he ever had has has also disappeared with the passing of Qin'er. Now, the two people in front of him made the stagnant water in his heart ripple again. She touched the female nurse's head and said to her, "Take good care of him, and take good care of yourself!" Then he said to the doctor, "Give her a box of penicillin and some more anti-inflammatory drugs." ”

The doctor was ordered to go.

Lu Man said to Gui Yongqing: "Boss, please wait a moment." With that, he ran out quickly.

Gui Yongqing explained a few words to Li Tiedan and Liu Wenzhi, and said to Sun Yumin: "I am waiting for your good news in the rear!" ”

Lu Man walked in with a Japanese martial arts knife, and kept wiping the blade with a white cloth as he walked.

She walked up to Gui Yongqing, handed over the knife, and said, "This is a gift from Head Sun." ”

This little clever man, I heard the doctor who operated on Sun Yumin say that this was a knife of a Japanese adjutant. She took the initiative to give Gui Yongqing the knife that had been inserted into Sun Yumin's lower abdomen.

The corps hospital retreated, leaving behind many of the seriously wounded in their beds.

Lu Man took off her white coat and wore a lieutenant's military uniform on her very decently.

Li Tiedan and Liu Wenzhi carried Sun Yumin on a stretcher, and under Lu Man's reluctant gaze, the four of them left the field hospital full of seriously wounded people together.
