Chapter 51: The Friendship of Blood and Fire

This night is the longest night in Fu Zhiyong's life, one by one the wounded were carried into the temporary rescue room for emergency rescue, and occasionally the wounded were directly carried to bury and buried, after all, almost all of the people who were withdrawn were seriously injured, because of excessive blood loss or excessive injuries and did not survive to undergo surgery, of course, it is also reasonable, after all, there are only two Japanese medical soldiers who can rescue the seriously wounded, even if they go all out, it is impossible to cure all the seriously injured in a short time, After all, there are dozens of people waiting in line to be treated.

"Battalion commander......" Just when Fu Zhiyong was looking at the slightly lit sky outside the window with blood-red eyes, Zhang Weidong gently pushed the door and walked in, stood behind Fu Zhiyong and saluted a military salute and said softly.

"Is there any news? Are they all rescued? Fu Zhiyong slowly stood up with his hands on the table, his body shook slightly, and asked Zhang Weidong in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, it's all rescued, battalion commander, are you okay?" Zhang Weidong found that something was wrong with Fu Zhiyong, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, tell me the result." Fu Zhiyong took a deep breath and shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and then asked directly.

"Altogether...... Twenty-seven were rescued, and four soldiers were disabled or ...... Amputated. Zhang Weidong's red and swollen eyes were once again covered with a layer of mist, and he said in pain.

Although the company with the largest casualties this time was Liao Peng's first company, Zhang Weidong's second company also suffered more than half of the casualties, as a company commander, and the initiator of the breakthrough battle, the guilt he carried in his heart was something that others could not experience, and the only person who could understand it was probably Fu Zhiyong.

"Weidong, how do you feel now?" Fu Zhiyong looked at Zhang Weidong and said in a calm tone.

"Battalion commander, I'm ......" Zhang Weidong's throat squirmed a few times, and he was about to open his mouth to answer when he was interrupted by Fu Zhiyong.

"You don't have to say to me, go and see the brothers who have fallen in battle, I'll give you an hour, is that enough? Go talk to them, by the way, I don't want you to be burdened with such psychological pressure forever, we are all officers who lead soldiers, and it is our duty and mission to take our soldiers to fight one bad battle after another, don't have a burden in our hearts, we must be worthy of the dead brothers, and we must be responsible for the living brothers. Fu Zhiyong patted Zhang Weidong's shoulder vigorously and explained.

"I see, thank you battalion commander." Zhang Weidong's tears flowed down, nodded vigorously, and said firmly to Fu Zhiyong.

"Go ahead and do what you're supposed to do." Fu Zhiyong patted Zhang Weidong's arm and walked out of the room by himself.

"You are all excellent officers, you can't be defeated like this, even if you have a great sense of guilt and guilt, I Fu Zhiyong will carry it for you......" Fu Zhiyong said silently in his heart......

In the next few days, Fu Zhiyong and they recuperated and rested in the camp of the New Fourth Army, during which time they received special care from top to bottom of the New Fourth Army, whether it was due to Pan Guodong's deliberate arrangement, or the sincere admiration of the soldiers, in short, they got along quite well, but the soldiers on both sides still kept their distance and did not make too much contact and communication.

According to the distance estimate, the liaison officers sent out should return in two days, and it is not too late to see what instructions the division headquarters has, after all, the regimental units like theirs are very scattered, and it will take a month for the farther troops to reach Nanchang, so they still have time to wait.

Everything was as Pan Guodong calculated, before the two days had arrived, the soldier named Da Kui and the two soldiers who had been sent out to contact the division headquarters rushed back in a hurry, and this time they not only brought back a lot of urgently needed medicines, but also three medical personnel who were urgently transferred from the division hospital.

Although the medical skills are not necessarily better than those of Namie Oda, they are much better than the soldiers who came to help in terms of care alone, and at least the red cross mark on the arm can make the wounded soldiers feel a sense of security.

In normal times, soldiers are not very kind to these non-combatant medics, but once they are wounded and shot, what they want to see most is the medics, because as long as they appear in your field of vision, then it means that you have a 50% chance of survival, and the other 50% is all up to fate, which is one of the reasons why most soldiers are most entangled.

Although An Zhiheng truthfully reported the situation and achievements of Fu Zhiyong and other national troops to the higher division headquarters, and also received enough attention from the division headquarters, the original order still had to be resolutely implemented.

The reorganization of the guerrillas in the eight southern provinces into the newly organized Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army is the supreme order of the Central Committee of the Chinese Soviets, and it is also the most important task of the united front of the United War of Resistance.

However, the division headquarters was still very reasonable, and especially allowed them to leave a company of troops to take care of Zhiyong and them, regardless of whether they were national troops or not, as long as they were fighting devils, they must unite to help each other, and this was also the supreme instruction and order of the Central Committee of the Chinese Soviets.

Although Pan Guodong was not very satisfied with this result, the original goal of establishing a good relationship with Fu Zhiyong had been achieved, and that was enough, as for the rest, it was not something that he, the head of the regiment, could control......

After two days of packing up and preparation, Pan Guodong took the personnel of the station to the Nanchang area for reorganization and training, but Fu Zhiyong's headquarters and Pan Guodong's second battalion and second company still stayed in this temporary station, because the wounded soldiers on Fu Zhiyong's side still need to rest and recuperate for a period of time, and they cannot continue to go to the third war zone for the time being, so they can only shake hands with Pan Guodong and they are separated.

When Zhang Guodong was leaving, Fu Zhiyong also specially gave them a lot of silver dollars, because Lu Fengying's third company was not only responsible for taking care of the wounded when it broke through, but also the task of carrying materials also fell on their heads.

Pan Guodong naturally thanked him again, although he shirked it for a long time, but he really couldn't stand Fu Zhiyong's 'hospitality' and had to accept it, so the positions of the two sides changed all of a sudden, it turned out that it was Fu Zhiyong who owed the favor, but now it has become a favor that Pan Guodong owes Fu Zhiyong.

As the saying goes, debts are easy to repay, this favor is not easy to repay, Fu Zhiyong can be regarded as leaving a way back for himself and his brothers, after all, it is much better to make one more friend than one more enemy, although it is still unknown whether it will be a friend or foe in the future, but if you want to ask them for help when you are in trouble, at least they will not stand idly by......

Time is always the fastest thing in this world, and more than two months have passed, and the vibrant spring has once again come to this land of abundant products.

In the past two months, the seriously wounded of Fu Zhiyong's unit have also recovered under the careful care of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the Japanese army's medical personnel, and most of the wounded soldiers have been able to slowly carry out daily simple training with the team.

During this period, the Japanese army also sent heavy troops to search for their traces repeatedly in the surrounding areas, but never found Fu Zhiyong and their strong combat force, thinking that the Kuomintang stationed more than 100,000 troops in the Nanjing area, so they failed to find Pan Guodong's camp, the Japanese army wanted to find them with a mere 18,000 troops, isn't that an international joke, it's not a shit to buckle a head, don't even think about it, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, but it's a wise saying of my great Chinese country, This statement is not without reason.

The commander of the 10th Infantry Brigade of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa, was unlucky to go to his grandmother's house this time, and the Central China Front of the Japanese Army because he lied about the military situation and said that the Chinese army had a main division of troops in his jurisdiction to cause trouble and delay the fighters, resulting in heavy casualties in the Jurong Garrison Brigade, and the punishment for his two crimes was directly reduced by two levels.

In fact, there was no major mistake in his command, but he insisted on believing the Sino-Japanese combat strength assessment report issued by the Japanese War Department's Special High Section and the Army Staff Headquarters, according to the report on the combat strength assessment of China and Japan, a Japanese soldier can be worth more than ten Chinese soldiers, according to this combat strength assessment comparison, if you want to eat a strengthened army transport squadron, the Chinese army must at least dispatch two main regiments of combat strength to do so. Therefore, when the devils on the front line of Jurong reported that they were attacked by a small group of Chinese troops, he did not send reinforcements in time, but still organized a large number of troops to search for the so-called main force of the enemy army and prepare for a decisive battle.

Although the previous major battles have also verified that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is extremely poor, it is inappropriate to fight against Fu Zhiyong's troops according to such an assessment of combat strength, and the results of being beaten one after another are perfectly normal.

After more than two months of getting along, Fu Zhiyong and his national army have enhanced a lot of friendship with the company left behind by the New Fourth Army, and the soldiers on both sides are no longer on guard against each other as they were at the beginning when they meet every day, but like a family, they eat together, sleep together, fart and chat together, and even learn from each other when the troops on both sides are training, although the parties on both sides are still on guard against each other, but there is no such difference here. The relationship between soldiers and soldiers is 108,000 miles away from the so-called national decision-making.
