Chapter Forty-Eight: The Medical Team Is Too Hard
At eight o'clock in the morning of November 26, all the tweeters in Keelung sounded an impassioned singing, "The sun and moon are flying in the wind, and the victory song is so loud~~". Please remember the URL of this site: .
Immediately, the loudspeaker broadcast the great news that the heroic and invincible division of the Ming Dynasty had captured Zhuqian City, Monga, Taoyuan, Huwei, and Nuannuan, and that the 8,000 men and horses of the Manchu Tartars entrenched in northern Taiwan had been completely annihilated, and that the Manchu Qing Dynasty Tongzhi Ding Yuejian, the deputy general Zeng Yuming, and others were stubborn and had been killed on the spot.
The loudspeaker sent the news to the corners of the entire Keelung, and the people of the entire Keelung were excited again. After moving mountains and reclaiming the sea yesterday morning, Daming announced its march into Taipei, and all villages and villages in Keelung sent out former migrant workers. A day has passed, and the people of Keelung have been waiting for news.
Although some people are skeptical, the Ming ships are strong, the soldiers are strong, the destiny is returned, and victory is a matter of course, but after more than half a day's effort, the Ming army wiped out 8,000 Qing troops, Ding Yuejian and Zeng Yuming were also killed, which is too brave! But through the feat of moving mountains and reclamation, the vast majority of Keelung people still have faith in the Ming Dynasty.
The high-ranking Ding Yuejian and Zeng Yuming were all killed, and the time for the Ming Dynasty to unify Taiwan was not far off. The villages and villages suddenly became jubilant. Almost all the people went out of their homes and ran to tell each other, and all villages and villages organized a celebratory procession, and the sound of wooden drums and whimpering conches rose and fell one after another over Keelung Bay.
The Keelung and Kaohsiung moored at the pier also whistled for a long time.
As soon as the Keelung and Kaohsiung warships returned to Keelung yesterday afternoon, they began to load and unload the improvised housing components that Taipei urgently needed. The two ships made two trips in a row, transporting a large amount of supplies, as well as Shen Yue and a battalion of infrastructure engineers under Shen Yue to Taipei, and now they are busy loading the third batch of supplies.
A cadre cabin at the stern of the Keelung ship lives in Ma Jiayi, Li Duoen, and Chen Deng. Li Duoen, Ma Jiayi and Chen Deng are passengers on the Keelung ship, waiting to follow the ship to the Americas. The Keelung ship was busy for two days, and the three of them were stuffed in the cabin, but they were quite leisurely.
"How could Ding Yuejian and Zeng Yuming be killed?!" Chen Deng felt very dissatisfied, and he no longer had the intention of working, so he threw down the design drawings of the three-expansion steam engine in his hand. According to Chen Deng's idea, these guys should hold a public trial meeting, and then execute them on the spot to show the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
Ma Jiayi didn't raise his head, and continued to lie on the table to write a long letter to Han Moyu. Han Moyu kept Zhoushan, and his amorous seed naturally wanted to express his affection through letters.
Li Duoen was lying on the bed, his eyes didn't open, "What are Ding Yuejian and Zeng Yuming, if they really want to show off, they will directly arrest Taiwan Daotai Yuduo for public trial." β
"Yuduo?!" Chen Deng suddenly became excited when he heard this, "Actually, Taiwan Daotai Yuduo is nothing, we should directly arrest Xianfeng Xiaoer for public trial." β
Chen Tianxiong pushed open the door and walked into the cabin, "The idea is good, it deserves encouragement." β
"Political Commissar Chen!" Li Dorn immediately jumped out of bed, "The political commissar is very busy, how can he have time to wander around us at this time." β
Ma Jiayi also hurriedly got up and let go of the chair.
"Ledon, bring me a glass of whiskey." Chen Tianxiong sat on the chair, "I've been running around for the past two days, and I'm really tired." β
"Okay!" Li Dorn agreed very simply, he opened the cabinet, took out a bottle of whiskey from a large backpack inside, and asked Chen Tianxiong as he poured the wine, "Do you want to mix some water?" β
"Forget it, you don't have much mineral water in store." Chen Tianxiong shook his head slightly, he held the wine glass in his right hand, and tightly covered the mouth of the glass with his left hand, "I just received a notice that the three of you have to get off the ship and move to the headquarters." β
"What?" Li Dorn immediately shouted, "Has our mission been canceled?" β
"Not really!" Chen Tianxiong removed his left hand and gently swirled the whiskey in the glass with his right hand, "I just received a notice from the command that the transport fleet will all go north tomorrow. β
"Go north, do you want to go to Dinghai?" Ma Jiayi immediately asked.
"Yes, we have to move the Executive Committee to Keelung before we can go to North America. Hurry up and pack up, our ship is going to Taipei again at ten o'clock. β
Chen Tianxiong smelled the aroma of whiskey and took a sip slowly, "Uh, this wine is really good!" β
In the conference room of the headquarters, Qian Shuiting, Lin Youde, and others were holding a telephone conference with Bai Baoxiang, Wang Xietang, Mao Pi, Yunlan and others in Zhoushan, Wang Tiezhuan on the Tamsui River, and Gu Wusheng in Shanghai through short-wave radio.
After taking northern Taiwan, the industrial base can be in full swing, and all the members of the executive committee are particularly excited.
Qian Shui Tingle said, "The situation is gratifying! The victory of Taipei's autumn hunt means that the northern part of Taiwan has basically fallen into our hands. β
"The difference in military strength is too great, and victory is inevitable." Mao Pi was very proud, "In fact, we can go straight to the Taiwan Mansion and capture Yu Duo alive." β
Mao opened his head, and the atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became warm. Several members of the executive committee appealed together and demanded that the whole of Taiwan be liberated directly.
Bai Baoxiang, who presided over the meeting, felt a little uncomfortable, he coughed twice and asked Wang Tiezhu's opinion.
"We only have the strength of one regiment now, and we need at least one division to defend the whole of Taiwan." Wang Tiezhu spoke very simply, "I thought that Tainan was not a threat to us at the moment. It is best to let the troops be summarized and improved, and then expand the troops to prepare for the next battle. β
Qian Shuiting expressed his support for Wang Tiezhu, "At present, the grassroots control of the revival team is limited, and the territory occupied is too large, which is difficult to digest for a while. I think it's safer to play it steady. β
"What's so bad about eating it first and then digesting it slowly?" Mao Pi was very disapproving, "There is no need to be overly steady, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not a threat to us at all!" β
"I want to be more steady! The British and French Chinese fleets have been making foolish moves, and our actions in Taiwan must not be made for them to feel that they have an opportunity. Wang Xie Tang opposed Mao Pi's opinion.
Bai Baoxiang immediately made a decision, "We still follow the original plan and let the troops go south to take Dajia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty with Dajia River as the boundary." β
The next step was to discuss the handling of the captives. Wang Tiehammer reported that the troops cleaning the battlefield had collected more than 6,000 prisoners, and they were all taken on the river beach.
"Haha, the captives are already six thousand!" Qian Shuiting was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and the infrastructure projects in Greater Taipei had sufficient manpower support.
Hearing that the captives were all squatting on the river beach one by one, Yunlan was very uneasy, "How do you settle so many prisoners?" β
"It's not a problem to house the prisoners, it's been planned for a long time."
Wang Tiehammer told everyone that the prisoner camp was planned to be placed on Shezi Island. In order to facilitate transportation, they immediately used bulldozers after the battle to fill in the Fanzigou between Shezi Island and Dadaocheng.
Shezi Island is located at the intersection of the Keelung River and the Tamsui River, and is a sandbar of the river ZhongyΔng. Shezi Island is full of water on all sides, it faces Guandu across the water, and Dadaocheng is only separated by a shallow Fanzi ditch.
The design department designed a simple house that can be quickly assembled very early, set the specifications of each component material, number them one by one, and designed the most optimized construction process.
Before the battle, the industrial mouth had produced a large number of structural components of houses, and experiments were carried out accordingly. In less than an hour, the five Fortifiers were able to erect a bamboo-roofed wooden house, each of which could accommodate twenty prisoners.
Last night, the convoy had brought a battalion of infrastructure engineers from Keelung, as well as a large number of materials for the construction of standardized simple houses prepared in advance. Early this morning, Shen Yue and Qin Yang took the soldiers of the infrastructure camp to build intensively, and it is expected that the construction of the entire prisoner camp will be completed before noon.
Qin Yang, a 28-year-old native of Shaanxi County, Henan Province, has been working in the construction industry since graduation, although he majored in electrical automation. After the crossing, Qin Yang has been engaged in infrastructure work with Lin Dejia.
As he spoke, Wang Tiehammer talked about the most difficult problem at present, "In addition to a prisoner camp on Shezi Island, there is also a field hospital. The most urgent thing at the moment is to first aid the wounded among the captives. β
Yun Lan immediately asked, "Are there many wounded and sick?" β
"Our army only had more than a dozen minor casualties, while the Qing army suffered heavy casualties. Zhu Ziyu and Liu Bai took the trainee health workers, plus the navy, the coast guard, and the health forces of the third and fourth battalions, together to form a medical team, which can carry out four surgeries at the same time, and the field medical equipment brought over by the crossing has also been deployed. β
Wang Tiezhu told everyone that the Ming army had treated more than 400 wounded and sick Qing soldiers, half of whom were seriously wounded. Due to the limitation of treatment capacity, many seriously injured people who were shot in the chest and abdomen, although they could still move or moan slightly, could only wait for death outside the operating room. At present, Lin Anke, Hu Zhongzi and the joint defense team members of various villages in Keelung Bay are still cleaning up the battlefield, and according to their reports, there are still many seriously injured people lying on the ground and dying.
Wang Tiezhu shook his head and sighed, "Although there are more than forty medical personnel combined, if you pull two knives up, you can only carry out eight surgeries at the same time. β
"I think that those can't be saved at all, so I should just give up!" Wang Xie Tang immediately said: "The focus of medical treatment should be on the prisoners who can be treated. Those who can't be saved will only waste our health resources in vain. β
"Huh!" Yun Lan exclaimed, "Out of humanitarian considerations, those who can be treated should be treated as much as possible!" β
Qian Shuiting explained: "Almost all the medical forces of the Keelung command have gone up, Sima Ye has also been urgently transferred from Dunan Island to Taipei, Fan Hua is in charge of the field hospital, and Ai Beibei is engaged in epidemiology, and she has also gone up. β
"We are not God!" Bai Baoxiang tapped the table lightly.
After a pause, Bai Baoxiang continued: "We are here to save and revive Huaxia. The journey of blood and fire is bound to be accompanied by a large number of casualties. We are not God, what can be cured must be cured, so leave it all to the medical team! β
Someone sighed: "With so many patients, the medical team is working too hard!" β
Wang Tiehammer said with a smile, "The medical team is very happy, Zhu Ziyu claimed that if there are a few more battles like this, the two knives and the three knives will all become one knife." β
All the members of the Executive Committee smiled heartily.
