When Zhou Shuren's boat arrived at the sea off Rizhao, he saw several warships slowly moving on the sea from a distance. Seeing Zhou Shuren's ship approaching, a small warship immediately approached quickly. The ship was a civilian ship, and the members of the medical team standing on the deck and on the side of the ship were startled when they saw the warship rushing towards it violently.

Fortunately, the warship did not fire directly, and when it got closer, it asked Zhou Shuren and the others about their intentions. A naval officer said politely: "You will be investigated first, and there will be no problems after the investigation." We'll take you ashore. ”

Zhou Shuren and the doctors were silent, but the "volunteers" were unhappy. Immediately, someone shouted: "We have traveled thousands of miles to treat the wounded, how can you do this to us?" ”

"Yes! We are not spies, so can't you trust us? ”

"The president called on doctors from all over the world to come to Rizhao, and we came with such a result? The president has the final say, or the people under you have the final say? ”

The naval officer frowned as he listened, but fortunately it was only a few people who were noisy. Zhou Shuren saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly went up to express his willingness to obey the Navy's arrangement. The officer stared at the unscrupulous fellows for a while, and then returned to his ship.

The inspections were not so strict, a long breakwater deep into the sea was partially built, and the pier was rudimentary. However, the freight yard near the dock is quite level. The garrison of the Beiyang Army was on this flat land. After a casual check on the dock, the Beiyang officer ordered Zhou Shuren and others to go to the wounded soldiers for treatment.

Unlike the situation where the camp was full of wounded soldiers imagined by Zhou Shuren and others, the wounded soldiers who stayed in Rizhao did not seem to be so many. There are two main categories of wounded soldiers, one is the lightly wounded and the other is the seriously wounded who are almost unable to move. Inside the tent, the seriously wounded lay motionless. There is more air out and less air intake, and even the moaning is not loud, which can only be called humming. The air was filled with the smell of blood that was beginning to rot. These signs made the medics feel great panic, where is this wounded barracks, this is simply a living cemetery full of people who are about to die.

Because of the urgency of departure, many disinfection equipment was too late to bring. Zhou Shuren wanted some lime as the minimum sterilization item. finally found the quartermaster of the Beiyang Army who didn't want to appear in the wounded barracks at all, but the news I got was no. Zhou Shuren asked for some cauldrons to cook gauze, but the cauldrons were available, but the fuel was insufficient. The quartermaster still saw that Zhou Shuren and the others were doctors, so he promised to send some soldiers to help cut some branches.

Since a large number of wounded were actually suffering from heavy blood loss, blood transfusions were required. As soon as he heard that he was going to draw his own blood for others, the quartermaster immediately vetoed it. Many doctors and nurses in Hangzhou Hospital have learned battlefield rescue, and blood transfusion is just one of the most basic contents. Mo said that the People's Party itself has gone all out to popularize the concept of blood transfusion, and even the comrades of the Zhejiang West Branch of the Liberation Association can roughly accept the concept of blood transfusion because they have experienced bloody wars. I didn't expect the Beiyang Army to be able to do it here at all.

Without blood transfusions, soldiers who are ischemic need at least urgent saline transfusions. But the salt of the Beiyang Army is also greatly insufficient. A doctor asked Beiyang if there was any kind of refined salt in bags of the People's Party, and the Beiyang quartermaster's face immediately changed, and he scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, how can we have anything from the People's Party here!" ”

Zhou Shuren saw that there was no way to solve the problem, so he had to ask the officer to send some more people to help. The officer asked with a calm face, "Since you are here to help, you can only listen to us." Where can we send someone to help you? ”

This speechless statement is actually very reasonable, with Zhou Shuren's tutoring and intelligence, he knows that the officer's words are right. It's just that he also looked at the level of the Beiyang military doctor, even if he can't call it careless about human life, he can definitely be evaluated with quite unprofessionalism. If the doctors and nurses in Hangzhou Hospital were used separately, the people who could have been treated would have died in fear.

At this time, Zhou Shuren could only say nice things to the officer, and let the officer leave as soon as possible. God knows what will happen if this officer is allowed to play on the subject. No matter what happens, it will definitely not make Zhou Shuren satisfied.

"Self-reliance, abundant food and clothing!" This passage, which often appears in the People's Party base area, popped up in Zhou Shuren's mind. Whether they can have enough food and clothing is still a matter of choice, but in the current situation, if they are not self-reliant, the medical team will not even be able to do their own work. Without the bare minimum supplies, many treatments simply cannot be carried out.

But at present, the medical team is alone, and Zhou Shuren knows very well that he has to cooperate with others. He first asked the medical team to start treatment regardless of whether the follow-up supplies were available or not. The People's Party's method of doing mass work is very simple: it does not speak at first, but gets to work. As long as others can see that the BJP is capable and powerful, there will be masses who will try to make friends with the BJP. This is what Zhou Shuren learned when he listened to the lecture on the mass work of the People's Party. Of course, Zhou Shuren's family education and Zhou Shuren's intelligence can also understand this.

Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and everyone has what they can do and what they can't do. As long as everyone discusses and cooperates, there is no threshold that cannot be crossed. This requires communication, and this requires exchange. Zhou Shuren still remembers that a People's Party cadre once said, "There is nothing more expensive in this world than free." "Unilateral giving and receiving is either uneasy and well-intentioned, or unsustainable. In general, if the requirements for the other party are clearly and reasonably, it is rare for both parties to reach a consensus on the basis that both parties have the intention to cooperate.

Sure enough, Zhou Shuren's command and arrangement worked. The medical team treated more than 40 wounded soldiers exactly as normal, and many more appeared outside the door. As soon as you talk to the wounded soldiers, you will know why the wounded soldiers have gathered. The level of Beiyang military doctors is indeed relatively poor, and the treatment methods are quite monotonous. There is nothing more than taking bullets, bandaging wounds, and so on. The rest of the matter is that the wounded soldiers are resigned to their fate to see if their lives are hard enough. Even this treatment is slow.

Zhou Shuren's medical team not only has a fast treatment speed, but also has more treatment methods, which is better than that of a military doctor. At this time, the wounded soldiers must choose a more reliable doctor for their own lives. That's when they gathered. Zhou Shuren ordered people to arrange the order of treatment for the wounded soldiers. In the process, some wounded soldiers were also asked if there were any medical supplies that could be used nearby without encroaching on the army's supplies.

Soon, wounded soldiers were provided, and near the port there were lime pools. When they heard that lime was useful for treatment, some wounded soldiers immediately volunteered to take a medical team to see it. Zhou Shuren arranged for personnel to follow the wounded soldiers to the vicinity of the lime pool, and when they came back, they brought back slaked lime. It didn't take long for the smell of lime water to enter the noses of the medical team again, and the members of the medical team felt a lot more relieved at the smell of this familiar smell.

With the communication and cooperation in the front, the development in the back is more relaxed. The guards guarding the wounded barracks were mainly lightly wounded, and all of them were involved in the search for Rizhao City. The most valuable ones were evacuated when the citizens of Rizhao retreated. Everything of a little value was taken away by the Japanese, and what was left was a miscellaneous thing. Some of the slightly injured remember seeing salt in the homes of urban residents. went to search around, and collected 100 catties of scattered salt in the whole bag. It's not enough to do anything else, it's enough to have saline. Including cauldrons, fuel, these things were slowly gathered and put into use. Even if you can't give full play to the full strength of the medical team, you can still maintain a minimum of medical care. But what was supposed to be a good job was interrupted by a sudden accident. Wounded soldiers clashed with "volunteers" in the medical team.

Even the wounded soldiers are not something these volunteers can fight. By the time Zhou Shuren inquired and went to the place where the conflict occurred, the brawl had essentially ended. Seven or eight volunteers were beaten to the ground covered in blood, and they were lying on the ground with a chirp and unable to move. Looking at the murderous looks on the faces of the wounded soldiers, the faces of the female nurses who followed Zhou Shuren's team changed in fright. The wounded soldier who took the lead in beating people seemed to be a small officer, and when he saw Zhou Shuren and others coming, he said with a serious expression: "Doctor Zhou, we can still distinguish between good and bad." You and these girls are not in the same league as these bastards. Our brothers are grateful to Dr. Zhou for his best treatment, and will never do anything to Dr. Zhou and other good people. ”

After saying these words, the junior officer who took the lead looked coldly at the "volunteers" who were humming on the ground. "These bastards are lazy when they work, and we won't talk about them. After all, we came with Dr. Zhou, and we have to give Dr. Zhou face. But these bastards are lazy and don't talk nonsense. The brothers also endured it, and as a result, there were still people stealing the things of the sick brothers. We can't afford not to see it. These dead brothers are unlucky, but that doesn't mean they won't be left to care after they die. Dr. Zhou, for your sake, my brothers and I have spared a life for these boys. The next time they do this, Dr. Zhou, you will leave them alone. ”

Zhou Shuren couldn't be completely sure whether what the officer said was true or false, but what they said politely was not possible for Zhou Shuren to ask. Moreover, these volunteers were beaten, and Zhou Shuren did not feel the need to avenge these people at all. The treatment was very hard, and the medical team of less than 50 people was busy for two days, and there was still a long queue at the door.

While he was being treated, he saw someone running into the tent where the operation was mainly performed in a panic. Zhou Shuren is undergoing an operation. The visitor almost dragged him away from the operating table.

These two days were almost day and night of labor, and Zhou Shuren's response outside of surgery became very slow. After settling down, I realized that this was actually Wu Yutang.

"Mr. Wu, what's the matter?" Zhou Shuren asked.

"The Beiyang Army began to retreat. They left the wounded soldiers behind and went away on their own! Although it was already October and the weather was not hot, Wu Yutang was still sweating in a hurry.

"Oh?" Zhou Shuren still didn't quite understand what Wu Yutang meant.

"The Beiyang Army also requisitioned our ships, and they said that the People's Party was about to come over." Wu Yutang finally said what he cared about the most.

Zhou Shuren was almost about to smile, if the People's Party really came, these wounded people could really be saved. The medical strength of the regular field hospital of the People's Party troops is not at all comparable to that of Zhou Shuren, a "medical team." Seeing that some of the wounded could not be treated by themselves at all, Zhou Shuren originally thought that he could only watch them die. The People's Party is here, which is great news for the wounded in Beiyang.

It's just that he was very tired from being tortured by heavy work in the past two days, and Zhou Shuren couldn't hold back his smile. He asked seriously with a somewhat panicked look, "Mr. Wu, what should I do then?" ”

"The only way to do this is to squeeze into the fleet of the Beiyang Army." Wu Yutang was very anxious.

Zhou Shuren hurriedly said: "Mr. Wu, since our ship was taken away by Beiyang, you should hurry up and get on the ship in Beiyang." You are a person sent by Mr. Cai, as long as you can retreat with Beiyang, there will always be a chance. Let's pack up here and get out of here. You're going to leave us alone. If the ship doesn't come back, how can we go back to Zhejiang! ”

"It's good, it's good!" Wu Yutang was also a little confused at this time. The loss of personnel was really not a problem in Wu Yutang's eyes, but the ship was borrowed by Cai Yuanpei from the firm. If he couldn't return to the ship, Wu Yutang bought himself, and he couldn't make up enough money for the boat.

Not long after Wu Yutang hurriedly left, there were a few quarrels and shouts outside, and after a while, he saw the wounded soldier he saw last time rushing into the operating room with someone. He faced Zhou Shuren and said calmly: "Doctor Zhou, the People's Party is about to fight." ”

"Oh, I just heard that." Zhou Shuren was a little worried in his heart, and he didn't know what these wounded soldiers wanted to do. However, no matter what these wounded soldiers have to do, Zhou Shuren will try to save the lives of the members of the medical team first. Because he is well aware of the policies and execution of the People's Party. So Zhou Shuren knows very well that as long as he doesn't resist, he doesn't try to be hostile. In the whole of China, it is arguably the safest to fall into the hands of the People's Party. I'm afraid that the mortality rate is lower than that of ordinary people.

The wounded soldier of the small officer who took the lead said: "Mr. Zhou, I am dissatisfied with what you said. I was arrested by the BJP, and I was injured last time. The BJP has always been kind to its captives, and no one will die if they fall into their hands. ”

Zhou Shuren was still thinking about whether to publicize the People's Party's prisoner of war policy, but he didn't expect that the Beiyang Army, as an enemy of the People's Party, was quite familiar with this policy.

The wounded soldier didn't know what Zhou Shuren was thinking, and when he saw Zhou Shuren's calm demeanor, the wounded soldier thought that Zhou Shuren didn't believe it. He persuaded: "Mr. Zhou, you are a doctor, and when the People's Party calls, we will surrender." I will definitely explain to the People's Party who you are, Dr. Zhou. I just hope that Dr. Zhou can continue to treat our brother. Before you came, these brothers were waiting to die, but after you came, many brothers were able to hold out until the time when the People's Party came to fight. I know it's dishonorable to be a captive, but no matter how dishonorable it is, I'll keep my life first. ”

Zhou Shuren breathed a sigh of relief, "I am a doctor, and the purpose of being a doctor is to treat diseases and save people." You don't have to worry about that. I'll take care of my colleagues. ”

After receiving Zhou Shuren's assurance, the wounded soldier seemed to be a lot happier. He didn't expect Zhou Shuren to be so "reasonable". But even so, the wounded soldiers still surrounded Zhou Shuren's medical place in an orderly manner.

After nearly three hours, Zhou Shuren and the others had already treated more than 60 people. But I heard the sound of an electric horn outside, "We are the glorious Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, brothers of the Beiyang Army in front, lay down your arms and surrender." We, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, give preferential treatment to prisoners. ”

The persuasion effect was excellent, and when Zhou Shuren heard the Beiyang Army, someone immediately shouted: "The boss on the other side!" We were wounded soldiers who were wounded when we fought the Japanese, and we surrendered. Can you send a medic? Many of our brothers are running out of steam. ”

Soon, there was the sound of a large group of people running outside. Looking at the panicked looks of his colleagues in the medical team, Zhou Shuren advised, "Don't be afraid, and don't act rashly. ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain of the tent between them was opened, and several soldiers strode in, accompanied by the little Beiyang officer, "Several bosses, this is the medical team from Zhejiang." They're not bad guys. ”

When Zhou Shuren saw the military uniform of the People's Party, a hanging heart finally really fell back into his stomach.
