At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was already brightening (due to the latitude of Moscow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info), put down his desk work, turned out the lamp on his desk, and walked to the window to open the curtains.

Moscow on the morning of June 4 was as peaceful as usual, except that the war had made people wake up early, and the Kremlin remained orderly and busy.

"Leonov, prepare the car, go to the central airport. At 5:30 a.m., I'm going to the equipment department. ”

"Yes, Chief." The voice of the life staff officer is clear and bright, and he has been in the duty room all night, which will be in good spirits.

Lin Jun is going to see off his wife: in the morning, he will go to the equipment department to review the production schedule, and there will still be time to rush to the airport.

The driver drove the car as fast as he could, and it was estimated that he was the only one in the entire guard who had to sleep peacefully last night - this was a record, and the driver on duty had to rest well.

The road leading to the airport was busy with military vehicles. As soon as he entered the airport, Lin Jun noticed that a fighter group was already stationed at the airport, and it was a MiG-1 transferred from other places by the Moscow Special Military District, which should prevent possible air attacks. Andlupuv and the commander of the air force of the military district protected the entire Moscow sky like an iron bucket in a day, and the Germans could only attack from a high altitude, and the MiG-1 was suitable for such a task.

On the side of the tarmac, several transport planes are loading, and airport guards stand on the pedals outside the door of the convoy leader car (a feature of vintage limousines, which is now also available in cars by some state leaders, on which bodyguards can stand). Pointing the way, the convoy sped toward the plane the medical team was going to be on.

The "brush" stopped on the side of Li-2, and Lin Jun saw his wife running over as soon as he got out of the car, and he didn't care about the thoughts of others, and suddenly hugged his wife in his arms! The members of the guard were very cooperative, and immediately blocked the view of the outside world and the two of them with a human wall.

Vuginskaya was tempted to say, "Why are you here?" But at this point, he didn't say a word, and Lin Jun only said: "Take care of yourself." ”

The plane was about to take off, Lin Jun sent his wife to the gangway, and Landskocchi gave a final explanation to the two members of the guard who accompanied him: the content was to ensure Vukinskaya's safety even if he sacrificed himself.

Watching the Li-2 slide off the runway and gradually climb higher, Lin Jun's heart seemed to follow the plane all the way to the west. Adjusted his mind, "Armament Department." ”

Of the eight medical teams sent by the hospital, the medical team led by Vukinskaya can be said to be the most complete in terms of personnel, Vukinskaya and two other surgeons, three anesthesiologists, nine nurses, and a large number of medical equipment, including a portable X-ray machine (X-ray machines were already in use before the Great Patriotic War. There was a special technician at the disposal - the hospital in Minsk had this equipment, but the medical team still brought all the equipment needed for a field hospital.

Vukinskaya's medical team has always been the technical backbone of the hospital, and has been cooperating for several years, and they do not need to do ordinary surgeries at all. Now used as a field surgeon, he can perform three difficult surgeries at the same time, and all surgeons can deal with all war wounds "from head to toe".

Minsk, located on the banks of the Svisloch River, an upper tributary of the Dnieper River, in the southern part of the Belarusian hills of the Minsk Plateau, covers an area of about 159 square kilometers and has a population of more than one million. It is now the seat of the Western Front Command, the capital of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, the political, economic and cultural center of Belarus, the capital of the Minsk region.

Minsk has a mild continental climate with a very developed industry and agriculture, and the winter is not as cold as one might think, with an average temperature of about 5 degrees Celsius in January and not hot in summer, an average temperature of 18 degrees Celsius in July, and an annual precipitation of 500 to 700 mm. As a result, Minsk was recognized as a livable city, not at all like the harsh winters that most Soviet cities should have.

It first appeared in historical documents in 1067, belonged to Lithuania in the 14th century, then to Poland, and was occupied by Tsarist Russia in 1793. It has always been a trading center connecting the Baltic coast with Moscow, Kazan and other cities, and the name of the city means a trading town.

Few people know about the "latecomers in history", the history of Minsk is almost a thousand years old, and yet at that time, the centuries-old houses in Minsk are almost invisible. This is because in the Great Patriotic War, the history of the city was cut off by the German fascists! During the fall of the Great Patriotic War for 3 years, Minsk was almost in ruins.

And after more than two hours, Minsk was completely an ancient city with a long history and culture, but they would not have time to visit the city, and as soon as the plane landed, they felt that they also had the "real war atmosphere" that Moscow lacked.

Huge balloons had been hung over the city in the distance, and the airfield was surrounded by anti-aircraft artillery positions - it was within the radius of the Luftwaffe: it had not been attacked yesterday because it had Sergei's 109th Regiment near the frontal border, or its airfield would have been bombed by German bombers! (Historically, German bombers attacked Minsk airfield on the morning of the opening of the station, only this time the Germans did not break through the Red Army's air defense network.) ）

As soon as the plane was stable, the guards and stevedores guarding the airport came to help, and everything was busy and not chaotic, and it was obvious that the airport was operating very efficiently.

Several trucks and a small car were parked nearby, and soldiers loaded various packages of equipment and equipment into the trucks and transported them to the Air Force Hospital, a kilometer away. The officer leading the team was a lieutenant who reported to Vuginskaya: "Comrade Colonel, after receiving the notice that you are coming today, the Air Force Hospital has been tidying up, disinfecting and decorating a warehouse in the hospital overnight, and you and your medical team have three operating rooms and your own office area. Although the conditions are somewhat rudimentary, they are able to meet the necessary conditions for the need to perform surgical procedures. ”

Comrade Lieutenant did not say something: it was personally arranged by the commander of the Air Force of the Front Army to prevent Vukinskaya's medical team from moving into the original operating area with better conditions. As usual, out of politeness, the military district should have ceded the better permanent operating room to a medical specialist from Moscow, and although the hospital already had skilled surgeons, Vukinskaya's skills and fame were unmatched in Minsk. However, the commander had a calculation in his heart -- once the main body of the hospital arrived at the air raid, it would definitely be a conspicuous target, and if he were a German bomber pilot, he would definitely choose to drop bombs on permanent buildings instead of taking a few inconspicuous small warehouses as the first choice.

It is not once or twice that Vukinskaya has received special treatment over the years, plus the commander of the Air Force of the Western Front is still an old subordinate of her husband, and it is not necessary for Comrade Lieutenant to explain why she let herself work in the "warehouse".

While the trucks were still being loaded, planes carrying the seriously wounded arrived at the airport, and trucks that served as medical vehicles immediately took the wounded to the hospital. Vuginskaya and the others didn't volunteer to help - they all knew that the most important thing would be to set up the operating room so that more wounded could be saved, not time wasted. The airport already has a complete rescue system, this is a war, not an emergency.

With the help of the soldiers, the medical team was able to prepare three operating rooms in an hour, with all the necessary facilities, and the wards were located in the warehouse next door.

Dressed in a white lab coat and disinfected, she walked into the operating room with gloves on, where there were already seriously wounded lying on the operating table - in the waiting area, eight of the seriously wounded had been brought in from the front line and needed to be dealt with.

It was a young lieutenant officer, with a thick bandage on his stomach, and the nurse was giving him a blood transfusion - from the Brest fortress area, wounded by shrapnel from a shell. The first operation had already been performed at the fortress hospital, but the doctors there found that there were still shrapnel stuck near the spine, and they could not perform such an operation and had to be sent to Minsk.

It was fortunate that it could be sent to Minsk, many fighters could not wait for this moment, many died on the front line before they could get on the operating table, and most of the wounded sent to Minsk were like the lieutenant on the operating table. As the best surgeon in the hospital right now, Vuginskaya is of course responsible for such difficult surgeries.

The nurse told Vuginskaya about the wounded that an X-ray had been done and that the film would arrive in two minutes. Most of the subsequent surgeries will have to be seen by the surgeon himself, and there will be no more films, and the surgical plan will be determined by memory. There are not enough negatives, and time does not allow.

"Let's get started." In front of the operating table, Vukinskaya was like a commander, the nurse opened the abdominal cavity of the wounded, and it took Vukinskaya three minutes to determine the location of the shrapnel, and five minutes later, a shrapnel as thin as a fingernail was taken out and thrown into the enamel plate, and the hidden situation was determined again.

"Stitch it up." After that, he handed over the follow-up work to the senior nurse and walked to the booth where the X-ray machine was housed - the workers were still installing protective plates outside.

Just now on the plane, Vuginskaya told the group that the most important thing in surgery in the war is speed under a certain quality, not the "art" of ensuring the highest success rate, which is very different from the usual difficult surgery.

Vuginskaya's subordinates must be mentally prepared to die on the operating table, to fail the operation or leave sequelae because they did not do their best - of course, they must have the ethics of a doctor, and do their best when they are free, but if there are too many seriously injured waiting for surgery, the surgeon can only maintain the ultimate bottom line: to save more people, rather than spending seven or eight hours doing a textbook perfect operation to save one person.

The death rate is acceptable, whether the doctor wants it or not! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
