Chapter 945: The Wounded
When the cook saw the soldiers, he said to the Chinese soldiers with a little sarcasm: "Hey, it looks like you're not hungry tonight."
He had lifted the soup pot from the fire. The cook, as he reached the bottom of the soup pot, said to the Chinese soldiers, "Hurry up and eat." I had to boil the water for the doctor, who was now busy operating on a wounded soldier. ”
While the soldiers were eating a half-lukewarm dinner, the captain came to the Chinese soldiers: "Is the water almost ready?" ”
Just opened, Captain. ”
"Good." The captain then his gaze fell on the two Chinese soldiers: "You two, now send this water to the doctor." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a room with lights on. The soldiers had just eaten halfway through their dinner, and they had to cover their lunch boxes and hang them on their belts. Carefully picked up a steaming basin of boiling water.
Chen Yongcheng didn't want the contents to fall to his feet, so he walked towards the temporary operating room.
The doctor has requisitioned the large house from a local Japanese farmer, who is disposing of the leg of an unlucky guy at a table.
Two soldiers were pressing the wounded man, who kept writhing and moaning in pain. The room was full of wounded, on the stools, on the floor, and in the storage cabinets, some of the wounded soldiers were lying and some were sitting, and they were moaning in pain as they waited.
Two medics are taking care of them. There were bloody bandages all over the floor. Two Japanese women are washing surgical instruments in a hot tub.
The light in the room was very dim. The doctor placed the farmer's large gas lamp next to the makeshift operating table. The farmer himself was standing next to the doctor, holding another lamp in his hand.
The captain and a sergeant major also carried a lamp.
Chen Yongcheng placed the basin next to the doctor, and the doctor immediately put a roll of bandages into the basin. Chen Yongcheng stayed where he was, watching the terrible scene, staring blankly at the injured leg that the doctor was treating.
There was blood all over the injured leg, and a gurgling of blood was pouring out of a huge hole in the injured leg, and the doctor was using a hemostat to try to stop the bleeding. Chen Yongcheng's head began to dizzy, but he still couldn't help but look at it.
The wounded man kept twisting his head from side to side, and the two warriors held him firmly with all their might. The wounded's faces were bloodless and covered with sweat. Someone put a roll of bandages in his mouth, perhaps to prevent him from shouting that it was a soldier from an armored detachment escorting the Chinese soldiers.
At this time, the doctor whispered to Chen Yongcheng, "Hold down his leg." ”
Chen Yongcheng hesitated, and the doctor glanced at Chen Yongcheng again. Chen Yongcheng pressed the bloody leg with a trembling hand. When Chen Yongcheng's hand touched his leg, he couldn't help but tremble.
The doctor whispered again, "Tap." ”
Seeing the scalpel cut deep into the wound, Chen Yongcheng felt the muscles of the injured leg move. He closed his eyes and could hear the sound of surgical instruments and the heavy breathing of the wounded. Even though he had just been given some anesthetics, he was still writhing in pain on the table.
Then, Chen Yongcheng heard an almost unbearable sawing sound. After a while, he felt the injured leg in his hand become extremely heavy, and Chen Yongcheng opened his eyes to see that his hands were holding the sawn off leg.
Doctors just had an amputation. Chen Yongcheng was there a little clumsily holding the leg in a tragic atmosphere, and he thought he would faint.
Finally, Chen Yongcheng put his leg on a pile of bandages on the side of the table. Even if he lives to be 100 years old, he probably won't forget this leg.
The driver has already left. Chen Yongcheng wanted to divert his attention, but he didn't reluctantly recover until midnight. Chen Yongcheng was called to do something that made Chen Yongcheng as painful as the amputation just now. At two o'clock in the morning, I finally walked out of the makeshift operating room. …,
Chen Yongcheng hesitated, but when he thought of the dying wounded and the blood everywhere, he walked to his truck without looking back.
The sky is still clear and the wind has stopped!
Half an hour later, the Chinese soldiers were back on the road. The sun hid behind the fog that slowly rose on the horizon. The soldiers drove for another hour.
Chen Yongcheng's eyes were half-closed, staring blankly at the bright light on the dashboard of the truck from time to time, and he was almost asleep.
His head bobbed from side to side as the car jolted, and he finally decided to sleep leaning against the door. Before he closed his eyes, he looked out at the vast fields. The sky is covered with lead-colored clouds, which look heavier than the color of the ground.
Chen Yongcheng also saw two small black dots flying on the top of the hill closest to him. Chen Yongcheng thought that maybe it was two reconnaissance planes, and then closed his eyes.
After a few seconds, Chen Yongcheng's eyes opened. The loud sound of an airplane engine flew over the heads of the Chinese soldiers, followed by a series of loud explosions. Then an incredible force threw Chen Yongcheng the windshield, and Chen Yongcheng felt that his chest and ear drums were about to explode. The sound of the sky falling apart made him feel like the end of the world. The Chinese soldiers were immediately surrounded by a rain of broken stones, boxes, steel helmets and lunch boxes. Chen Yongcheng's car almost crashed into a truck in front of him that suddenly stopped suddenly.
In a trance and shock, Chen Yongcheng opened the car door and jumped to the ground, looking in the direction where the explosion sound came from.
The truck that followed the Chinese soldiers almost crashed into their own, and the truck behind it had overturned on the side of the road, its wheels still spinning. Behind that car was a cloud of smoke and fire.
Someone shouted, "Hurry up, everyone! Don't stay on the side of the road! ”
The soldiers scattered in the fields around the road. Someone shouted: "They're shooting at the truck!" ”
Chen Yongcheng hid in the ground outside the roadbed. One of the sergeant majors shouted: "Anti-aircraft fire!" He shouted as he hunched over to the side of the roadbed. The soldiers next to him raised their guns and aimed them at the sky.
Oh, my God! Own guns are still in the truck.
When he heard the sound of the airplane engine again, Chen Yongcheng was speeding towards his truck. He threw himself on the ground as a Hurricane fighter whizzed overhead, and then he heard two huge explosions, one closer and one farther away.
Chen Yongcheng looked up and saw the two planes swooping down again behind the poplar grove, while the colonel's jeep was driving down the convoy. The soldiers of the convoy ran in all directions.
Chen Yongcheng stood up and ran towards a huge column of black smoke rising from the convoy. A truck loaded with explosives was hit by the plane, and the truck exploded immediately, destroying the two trucks in front and behind.
Everywhere are the wreckage of the three trucks that fell after the explosion.
The truck is now a pile of scrap metal with flames and acrid black smoke. Chen Yongcheng saw the sergeant major and another soldier come out of the smoke. They carried a blood-blackened corpse.
Chen Yongcheng and the other soldiers quickly ran to the place where the smoke was billowing to see what else the soldiers could do to help. Through the smoke, the soldiers tried to see if anyone was there. At this time, a figure ran from behind, and he coughed as he ran, "Don't stay there, it's too dangerous there." The ammunition box will explode at any moment. ”
At this time, Chen Yongcheng heard the sound of a car engine behind him, and then saw the light pillar of a truck's headlight coming out of the smoke. Truck after truck drove up one after another. The convoy of Chinese soldiers moved forward again.
While those cars that were hit were burning around one.
Now the situation on the road is becoming clearer, and through the fading smoke, Chen Yongcheng noticed a row of soldiers wrapped in long coats standing in front of an officer. …,
The captain shouted to the Chinese soldiers, "Hey, you two, come here." ”
The soldiers hurried towards the queue.
"You!" The captain pointed at Chen Yongcheng and said, "Where is your gun?" ”
Chen Yongcheng stammered and replied, "There, Captain I. One in the back of you. Inside that truck. ”
Chen Yongcheng's voice trembled with anxiety.
The captain looked very angry. He must have thought that Chen Yongcheng had thrown away the gun, and Chen Yongcheng was making up a lie to cover up this fact.
He pounced on Chen Yongcheng like an enraged sheepdog. The captain yelled at Chen Yongcheng: "You are really undisciplined! Get out of the queue now! ”
Chen Yongcheng stood up, and when he didn't stand firmly, the captain slapped Chen Yongcheng in the face, although Chen Yongcheng dodged for a while, Chen Yongcheng's hat still rolled to the ground, and Chen Yongcheng's dirty hair was exposed. Chen Yongcheng thought that the captain was about to punch and kick him.
He muttered to Chen Yongcheng, "You stand guard from now on." ”
Then he turned his angry gray eyes to the sergeant major. The sergeant major hurriedly saluted. The captain said to him, "Take a break. ”
The captain still stared at Chen Yongcheng with a suffocating gaze: "You bunch of waste, when your comrades-in-arms are desperately protecting you, you can't find two bitch planes firing at us." You should have seen them. You must be asleep? I'll send you all to the punishment camps at the front. Now 3 trucks have been destroyed, 7 people have been killed and 2 have been injured. They must have fallen asleep too. That's what happened to you. You don't have weapons on board. I'll reflect your performance to the above! ”
After saying that, he didn't even salute and turned around and left.
The sergeant major ordered the Chinese soldiers, "Now return to your posts. Everyone then split up and ran to their cars. Chen Yongcheng tried to pick up his hat, but the sergeant major grabbed him by the shoulder.
He said, "Now back to your post!" ”
A soldier standing next to Chen Yongcheng's hat picked it up and handed it to Chen Yongcheng.
In the middle of the woods, Chen Yongcheng climbed into his own truck. The truck has just been started!
