Today's meeting at the headquarters of the Hefei 88th Division is particularly important, and the time chosen for the meeting is also the time chosen after the special operations squad behind enemy lines returned to the unit, and a special operations squad was established, and the artillery positions of the devils were attacked many times, and the frontal pressure on the Yuhuatai position of the 88th Division was reduced a lot, and most of the outstanding commanders of the 88th Division survived. Division Commander Sun also changed General Fei's fate and did not run away. The 88th Division broke through the frontal encirclement and eliminated some devils, which boosted the morale of the national army.
"Division, our special operations detachment behind enemy lines requires to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou with the troops."
"Zhang Cheng, this is the president's order, give you the establishment of an independent brigade, and find your own way to equip and supply materials, I will leave the personnel of your original battalion and the personnel of the squad to you as your team, what do you think?" "Thank you, teacher, for sitting."
"Song Hu, how long will it take to get to Chaohu?"
"If it's fast, it'll be there in half an hour. Forty minutes if it's slow. ”
"Okay, you concentrate on driving, squint for a while, and when you arrive, call me."
"Yes, big brother."
The medical team that had been evacuated from Nanjing also accompanied the convoy. Because there are several critically injured people, they can not leave the person at any time, and the convoy is slow, which is conducive to the wounded lying down for rest and treatment.
"Doctor, doctor, can you give me another injection?" "No, you can't fight anymore, it's addictive." "I hurt, it hurts...... this young wounded man has just undergone amputation, his face is pale, and the cold sweat of pain is rising, this winter, it is in the car again, and he can't make a fire, others are shivering with cold, he only sweats vigorously, obviously it hurts cold sweat.
"Liu Mei, do we still have morphine?" Wu Jia frowned slightly, she knew that this was drinking to quench her thirst, but sometimes there was no way, she couldn't watch the wounded die of pain, right?
"Sister Jia, no, morphine is hard to buy, we don't have much inventory, the rest of Minister Shen said that you are not allowed to use it again, there will be a battle ahead!" Liu Mei has always been with Wu Jia, and she knows a lot about the use of drugs.
"Can you get one first, look at him like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on?" Wu Jia was slightly anxious.
"I'm afraid I can only go to Captain Zhang, and only he has the authority to approve it." Liu Mei thought for a while and said.
"Do you go, or do I go?"
"Of course you went, Sister Jia, you are a doctor, he believes in you, and I don't have this permission." Liu Mei said, Sister Jia, this is to create opportunities for you, why don't you understand it at all?
"Okay, I'll go, you look at it, I'll be right back." Wu Jia nodded, she really had to go to this matter, she was a doctor and the director of a wartime hospital, and she was qualified to apply for this special medicine.
Wu Jia stopped Zhang Cheng's car, Zhang Cheng was just about to be confused, suddenly stopped, and forcibly opened his eyes and asked, I am so tired these days, on average, I will rest for one or two hours every day, and I will count the time for eating.
Wu Jia, strange, what is she doing at this time? "There was a wounded. He had a leg injury and I had it amputated. Now that the anesthetic is over, he is dying of pain, but we have run out of morphine, which is a special controlled drug, so I came to ask if you can give us a few more special approvals? Wu Jia sat down and whispered.
"That's it?" Zhang Cheng thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small matter.
Wu Jia nodded and said in her heart. Even if it's for something else, I won't come here, it's been touched, how misunderstood, how embarrassing.
"I'll write you a note, you go to Lao He, his car is estimated to have emergency use." Zhang Cheng took out a pen, took out a stack of paper, wrote a note, and handed it to Wu Jiadao.
"Thank you." Wu Jia prepared a basket of words. Who knew that Zhang Cheng didn't embarrass her at all, and gave her a note straightforwardly.
"Thank you, that's my soldier. Can I watch my soldiers suffer, go quickly. Zhang Cheng said in surprise.
Zhang Cheng shook his head slightly, this woman is really a little wonderful, no matter how much, he should hurry up and squint for a while, it is estimated that when he arrives at the place, he will definitely not have time to rest.
Soon after Wu Jia left, someone stopped the car again. Who is it?
Zhang Cheng sighed, he couldn't sleep this time.
"Old He. Is there something wrong with you? Seeing He Zhiqi, Zhang Cheng asked slightly unhappy.
"Brigade commander. I know it's not appropriate to bother you at this time, but I must report it back to you, and I'm afraid I'll forget about it. He Zhiqi explained apologetically.
"Say, let's talk, it looks like I want to rest today."
"You gave this note to Dean Wu, right?"
"yes, this is what I just approved, and the ink hasn't dried yet, what's wrong?" Zhang Cheng asked strangely, could it be that you He Zhiqi still suspected Wu Jia of forging his own approval?
"Brigadier, do you know how much morphine we have left?" "Aren't you in charge of this, why did you ask?"
"This is a special class of controlled drugs, only Dean Wu and others are qualified to prescribe, and then the amount used every day, who is used for whom the prescription must be retained, for future reference, this kind of drug is already very expensive, although we have purchased a lot, plus the seizure of my own, the available amount is too large, many injured and painful wounded people have used it, so we can only limit the use."
"Just tell me straight, how much inventory is left?" "Less than three thousand!"
Zhang Cheng nodded slightly, this is not a war, and this kind of medicine is rarely used for basic injuries and illnesses, but once a war starts, it will be consumed quickly.
Three thousand, even if it is only used for the seriously wounded, is enough to choke.
The condition of this independent brigade is still good, and there are not many other brigades, and it would be good to have 300 of them.
"If you come to me, I can't make a medicine?" Zhang Cheng spread his hands.
"Brigadier Commander, I have a suggestion that I don't know if to say or not." He Zhiqi hesitated for a long time before he spoke.
"You said, as long as I can get life-saving medicine, I can accept any bad idea." Zhang Chengdao.
"When we were in Nanjing, didn't we snatch a batch of tobacco paste from my own hands?" He Zhiqi said, "Can we use this as a raw material to make morphine?" ”
"This ......" Zhang Cheng really didn't expect that He Zhiqi actually wanted to produce morphine by himself. The question is, do we have the equipment and the talent? "There is no problem with the equipment, there is ...... in the seizure"
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?" Zhang Cheng snorted coldly. "I asked Song Hu to hand you a note about this, but you didn't care about it at the time, and you didn't ask afterwards." He Zhiqi explained awkwardly.
"Okay, it's me who was too busy to pay attention, and I don't blame you, but if we make this other drug, it's not a big problem, but this thing, we can't have the slightest accident, not to mention that it can be made, even if it is made, it must be handed over to a reliable person to be responsible, and there must be a strict regulation on how to distribute and sell the drugs produced, understand?" Zhang Cheng said solemnly, "What we make is medicine, it is to treat diseases and save people, not to harm people, and there are some dirty things that cannot be touched." ”
"I know this, and there will be no mistakes."
"We still have to find a stable place to carry out this matter, we are fighting all the way, running around, is it possible to run with a factory on our back?" Zhang Chengdao. "What do you mean, but let's find a base area?"
"Well, if it's not permanent, it's a place that the Japanese won't be able to get for at least four or five years." Zhang Chengdao, "In this way, let's have a meeting and call Wu Jia, Song Hu, Liu Zhongming, Ma Lin, and Niu Dazhuang over, and we will discuss it." ”
"Okay." "There is a very real problem of bringing everyone together all of a sudden, and I have mentioned it before, but it was not urgent for us at that time."
Seven or eight people, in the roadside woods, held the first meeting of the independent brigade.
Women are always very sensitive, and when she heard Zhang Cheng say this, Wu Jia seemed to think of something, and her bright eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
He Zhiqi is the convener, he just left from Zhang Cheng, of course he knows Zhang Cheng's thoughts, and to be honest, he is also very much in favor of it.
Zhang Cheng now is different from two months ago, he is not alone, there is a group of people under him, many people are gathered together because of him, he is the head of these people.
If these people were to be compared to wolves, he would be the wolf.
"According to my temperament, sooner or later we will have a very unpleasant quarrel with those people in the national government, we do our own thing, do not obey the orders of the peak, and even disobey orders, we can do whatever we want, now they can use us, they can endure, they can accommodate, but once the war is over, they will be the first to take us."
"No, we didn't do anything wrong?"
"I don't care if you do anything wrong, but if you listen or not, in the eyes of some people, your ability is secondary, but you have to be obedient, disobedient people, do you like it?"
"I don't like it, but I'll be very objective."
"People have feelings, and once your patience exceeds a certain limit, he will magnify your little mistake infinitely, and when the time comes, if you retreat bravely, you may be able to become a rich man. Andu is peaceful, but if you don't let go, the consequences are unpredictable. Zhang Cheng said.
"Big brother. Whatever you want to do, we'll follow you. Can you still sell us people? Cong Hu said.
"I sold you, that's not a betrayal, do you think I'll be stupid enough to do such a thing?" Zhang Cheng smiled, "We just take precautions, so that there is no way out." ”
"The War of Resistance has not yet been won, is it too early for us to consider a way out?" Niu Dazhuang sneered.
"It's a bit premature, but the squad and the independent brigade are tens of thousands of people. We have to find a place to stay, we can't even have a station, right? ”
"Is this something to be considered at the summit?"
"They'll arrange it for us, but where to go, you have to listen to our opinions, right?" Zhang Chengdao, "We can't be led by the nose by the peak." ”
"It makes sense, if Shangfeng gets us into a poor ravine, will we have to go over with peace of mind?"
"Judging from the current war situation, the ambition to annex China has been clearly revealed, and they will not stop their aggression in the future. The Central Plains and South China are likely to be battlefields of war, and neither of these places is suitable for us to be our garrisons or bases. Zhang Chengdao, "Only the northwest." There is also the Sichuan Basin in the southwest, and the future is the rear of our War of Resistance Against Japan, which the government has also seen, and has moved universities and important defense industries to Xichuan and the southwest provinces and regions in order to protract the war of resistance. ”
