Ling Weicheng and Yang Huimin almost pounced together. Looking at the appearance of Xie Jinyuan and Lei Zhen, these two women who were standing in front of the gate of the Ying [***] camp for different reasons, and were stunned.

In Ling Weicheng's heart, her husband Xie Jinyuan is a man with a blue sky on his head and a foot on the earth, and she has long known that what her husband's chest beats with his heart is a soul that would rather bend. When had she ever seen her husband drag a wounded soldier across the line of fire and into the British [***] battalion as a face to all his subordinates, crawling like a dog?

Yang Huimin took advantage of the lights in the British barracks to look at Lei Zhen stupidly, at his blood, at his pale face, at the half of the ribs that were still barbed out of his slightly undulating chest, Yang Huimin's lips trembled for a long time, and then he covered his mouth and suddenly let out a sad cry: "My God!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Smith also looked at Xie Jinyuan deeply, he personally saw Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan and Battalion Commander Yang Ruifu, two people climbed into their own barracks side by side, but his eyes as blue as the sea flashed with respect without any reservation.

"Xie Jinyuan," Lieutenant Colonel Smith whispered in an inaudible voice, "You are indeed the best soldier I have ever seen in my life." If you have won my respect in the battle in the Four Elements Warehouse, now you have really made me a little admired. ”

Xie Jinyuan's gaze had now skipped over the figure that was constantly swaying in front of him, and fell directly on Lieutenant Colonel Smith. He shouted: "We have a wounded man here, hurry up and send him to the hospital for first aid!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Smith walked in front of Xie Jinyuan, looked at Lei Zhen lying on the ground, looked at the half of the rib that Lei Zhen stabbed out of his chest, and looked at the blood line poured out on the road that Lei Zhen passed, Smith really couldn't believe that the big boy in front of him, who might not even be twenty years old, was dragging such a body, and sprinted more than 30 meters away with Xie Jinyuan and Yang Furui Battalion Commander on his back!

Lieutenant Colonel Smith was silent for a moment and said, "No, Lieutenant Colonel Xie, we still have some things to talk about first. ”

Xie Jinyuan's eyes widened and he roared angrily: "What is more important than saving people? ”

"Yes."

Lieutenant Colonel Smith turned his head, he really couldn't bear it, and he couldn't face Xie Jinyuan's eyes that were almost spewing fire, let alone the promise he had made to Xie Jinyuan. Lieutenant Colonel Smith said in a low voice: "Entering our British Concession is equivalent to entering our British territory. We must not allow a force carrying weapons but belonging to another country to appear on our territory, even if it is simply through the road. We've already given a strict order, you...... The weapons must be handed over! ”

As soon as the words "you must hand over your weapons", Xie Jinyuan's pupils contracted in an instant, and before he could answer, he suddenly heard a commotion not far away.

"Come on, save her, I found her, she floated in the river and didn't move, who will save her quickly. It was she who blew up those two patrol boats and saved the regiment commander and battalion commander! ”

In a burst of shouting, several soldiers who were proficient in the surname of Shui ran towards the bank of the Suzhou River, threw off all the weapons on their bodies, jumped into the river, and fished out Ma Lan, who was covered in blood all over his body, his lips were closed tightly and his face was pale, and he had already lost consciousness.

Looking at Ma Lan's legs hanging down unnaturally in the arms of those soldiers, Xie Jinyuan closed his eyes in pain, and with his experience, he could see at a glance that Ma Lan's legs were broken, and maybe he would never recover in this life, which would undoubtedly be the most tragic ending for a professional soldier who had received the most rigorous training and could maintain the most powerful combat ability in any environment!

At this time, Ma Lan didn't know how much water she had poured in, her face was pale, and Yang Huimin, who had received first aid training, pushed everyone away and rushed to Ma Lan's side, but when her eyes fell on Ma Lan, Yang Huimin was really stunned.

Ma Lan's body was full of scratches, God knows how many pieces of shrapnel from grenades were deeply embedded in her body, at this time, Yang Huimin didn't dare to press Ma Lan's body with her hands, because she could hardly find a place on Ma Lan's body where there were no injuries and no shrapnel embedded. If she had forced the pressure on Malan's body, she would have squeezed the river water out of her chest and perhaps pressed the shrapnel embedded in her body even deeper.

"Ignore the shrapnel on her body, rescue her immediately, and let her breathe again first!" After giving an order to Yang Huimin, Xie Jinyuan looked at Lieutenant Colonel Smith and said, "For the sake of humanity, please immediately send the two of them to the hospital for first aid." We'll talk about the guns in a moment. ”

"No way!"

Lieutenant Colonel Smith still didn't look back, "For you, the lives of these two people are very important, but the law cannot be abolished, this represents the dignity of our Britain, and the mission of our British [***] people!" You must hand over your guns and leave them in our custody for the time being, and when you leave the concession, we can return them to you. ”

Xie Jinyuan looked at Lei Zhen, who was lying in front of him, breathing weaker and weaker, and then looked at the position not far away, who was doing abdominal compressions on Ma Lan, drinking her into the river water in her stomach, and squeezing out Yang Huimin, Xie Jinyuan bit his lip fiercely.

Malan and Lei Zhen must now receive first aid, otherwise the two of them will surely die. They are all Xie Jinyuan's life-saving benefactors, if it weren't for Xie Jinyuan, they would definitely not become like this. Even if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, Xie Jinyuan would not give up on these two people, but as a commander, how could he order his subordinates to hand over their weapons?

You know, only the captives will give all their weapons to another army!

"I understand your concerns and won't embarrass you!" Xie Jinyuan gasped fiercely, he looked at Lieutenant Colonel Smith, and said in a deep voice: "None of them have weapons on them, please take a humanitarian standpoint and immediately send them to the hospital for first aid." As for our own insistence, we can die, but the gun must not leave us, since you do not allow us to carry weapons through the concession, I will take everyone and follow the original road, and then go back to the Sixing warehouse, where I will fight to the death with Yue Kou! ”

Faced with Xie Jinyuan's absolutely unexpected decision, Lieutenant Colonel Smith was really stunned.

With the support of a soldier, Xie Jinyuan barely supported his body, and his gaze fell directly on the deputy battalion commander. The deputy battalion commander took a step forward and quickly reported: "We have counted all the soldiers who have successfully entered the concession, there are still three hundred and forty-two people in total, except for the heavy machine guns and mortars left in the warehouses of the four rows in order to quickly retreat, not a single rifle and light machine gun in our hands have been lost." ”

Xie Jinyuan nodded, his gaze slowly swept over the faces of the soldiers gathered in front of him, and just as he took a deep breath and was about to give a combat order that was almost suicidal, suddenly someone gently pulled the corner of his clothes, and a timid voice sounded beside him: "Daddy......!" ”

Xie Jinyuan's body trembled slightly, he lowered his head, and the two children who were holding the corners of his clothes tightly from left to right, who were not his children and daughters? Just now, Xie Jinyuan's spirit had been put on Lei Zhen's body, and it was only at this time that he saw that his wife Ling Weicheng was standing silently behind him, and silent tears had already burst out of her eyes, drawing one crystal tear after another on her face.

"Commander Xie, now that this army should have occupied the Sixing warehouse, if you really go back, the whole army will be wiped out within an hour. I respect your integrity and recognize your defense of the honor of a soldier. But I think that a good commander will never gamble with the lives of his subordinates! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Smith's voice sounded beside Xie Jinyuan, "When you leave the concession and rush to Nanjing by military vehicle, we have no reason and will not seize your weapons again, and will return them to your hands." Therefore, you are not disarming, but respecting our Britain, and being willing to accept the laws of our country, and putting the weapons in our hands for temporary safekeeping. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Smith deliberately accentuated the tone of the four words "temporary storage", he stretched out his hand and pointed at Lei Zhen and Ma Lan, and said, "Moreover, your two outstanding subordinates, including Lieutenant Colonel Xie himself, also need to be treated immediately. Also, before requesting your weapons for temporary storage, the embassy has contacted your political axe and obtained permission from your political axe. In this case, handing over the weapon to us for temporary custody is also obeying the orders of the superiors, and it is definitely not a shame! ”

Xie Jinyuan looked at the son and daughter who were holding the corners of his clothes tightly, in this world, how many fathers could face the children's eager eyes, shake off their hands fiercely, and face a war that no longer has any substantive meaning? In the face of the tears of their beloved woman, how many men can be frank and unrestrained, and then go to death without regrets?

Xie Jinyuan slowly turned his body, he had never turned his back to his subordinates in his life, and gave an order: "Gun ...... Put it down. ”

With the help of Lieutenant Colonel Smith, Lei Zhen, Ma Lan, Xie Jinyuan and Yang Furui were sent to the largest hospital in the British Concession in the shortest possible time.

"No matter what the cost, find a way to save those two people!"

This is what Lieutenant Colonel Smith said to the dean, and this is also the only way for him, a lieutenant colonel of the British Royal Army, to express his respect and apologies to Xie Jinyuan, a lieutenant [***].

Malan was finally wheeled into the operating room, and the best surgeon in the hospital stood in front of the operating table, stretched out his hands, and asked a nurse to put sterilized gloves on him. He looked at Ma Lan's battered body and couldn't help frowning.

This woman's legs are broken, which is nothing, as long as the broken bones are reconnected and a cast is applied, the leg bones can be reconnected in less than three months. Although her movements may be affected in the future, as long as she exercises hard and receives rehabilitation training systematically, it is easy to overcome this problem.

But now she has at least two dozen pieces of shrapnel embedded all over her body, some of which are even stuck in the bone cracks in her chest, and it will take a long time to remove these metal shrapnel. The most serious thing was that after she was hit by an explosive weapon at close range, her wound was soaked in water again, and she also lost too much blood. With her physical condition, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive the long operation.

A nurse who was examining Ma Lan's body suddenly shook her head at the surgeon and made a gesture that the patient was no longer good. The surgeon opened Ma Lan's eyelids, and under the light of the shadowless lamp, he took a closer look at Ma Lan's pupils, and he turned his head and glared at the nurse fiercely.

Ma Lan's pupils have not yet been dilated, and from a medical point of view, only dilated pupils can be regarded as real death. But look at Ma Lan, her body temperature has dropped below a dangerous level, and her breathing, even her heartbeat has stopped, in the face of such a body full of holes, wounds everywhere, and no longer lifeless, it is no wonder that the nurse made the judgment that Ma Lan is dead.

The surgeon was silent for a moment, then nodded and slowly removed the sterile rubber gloves from his hands. Even from a medical point of view, Ma Lan has not died, but her physical condition is no longer able to support more than five hours of surgery, and there is no need for him to waste time on this Chinese woman.

Ma Lan's body was removed from the operating table and put back on the emergency trolley, and just as a nurse picked up the white sheet and was about to cover Ma Lan's body, she suddenly let out an exclamation: "I seem to see her eyelids moving." ”

Everyone looked sideways at the nurse, and even the nurse herself became embarrassed. How can a person's eyelids beat when his heartbeat stops? But the doctor's face changed, which had already taken off the sterile gloves, because he clearly saw that the patient's eyelids were really beating when his breathing and heartbeat were all gone, and he was about to be abandoned by them!

The surgeon rushed over, and under his cautious gaze, the woman, whose breathing and heartbeat had stopped, and who had not received first aid, actually reopened her eyes.

The surgeon was really surprised, judging from his medical common sense, even if he could live, it was impossible for this woman to open her eyes again at this time! He stretched out a finger that kept shaking in front of this woman's eyes, and he attached it to the sick ear, and said in strangely pronounced Chinese: "If you can see, you can hear, your eyes, turn it." ”

The woman's eyes, which had not spread, twitched slightly as the surgeon's whisper came.

The surgeon's eyes lit up, "I'm your doctor, I'll save you." However, I want your support for five hours! If you can't support it, you'll die! Hear clearly, five hours, if you hear clearly, you blink. ”

Those almost dull eyes really blinked.

The surgeon laughed, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Operate immediately, I'm sure she'll survive!" ”

None of the nurses believed that a patient could last five hours on the operating table in this state. In just three hours, the patient lying on the operating table stopped breathing seven times and his heart stopped beating three times. But I don't know why, but with the joint efforts of doctors and nurses, she was able to regain her breathing and heartbeat again and again. In the depths of her body, there seems to be an invisible motor hidden, constantly rotating, supporting her fragile life that seems to be blown away by a gust of wind, but it is so strong that it is no longer flawless!

The surgeon was already in a state of excitement, and even after the second surgeon, he insisted on staying in the operating room, staring straight at the patient who had surprised him too much.

Five hours later, when Ma Lan was finally carried off the operating table, she opened her eyes again in absolute weakness and impossibility.

A few nurses were really stunned, they had worked in the hospital for so long, and they had experienced an unknown number of surgeries with doctors in various departments, but they had never seen such an almost bizarre operation, and someone beyond their medical understanding!

When Malan was finally pushed into the intensive care unit, and the nurses could finally catch their breath, they all gathered around the surgeon. They really wanted to know why the hospital's most skilled doctor, before the operation began, dared to assert that she could sustain a long life in the face of a patient whose breathing and heartbeat had stopped.

"In addition to studying medicine, I also like to study philosophy, and the most attractive thing for me is the study of the spiritual field in philosophy."

The highly skilled attending surgeon, an Englishman in his forties, reached out and gently rubbed the corners of his eyes, which were slightly sore from the long operation. Under the star-studded embrace of several nurses, he smiled: "We all know through our daily practice that people with strong willpower have a relatively higher chance of persevering in surgeries with high risk factors. But the case of the surgery we just did is obviously not enough to explain it only with strong willpower. ”

Several nurses nodded their heads together, if the willpower is strong enough, they can stop breathing on the operating table seven times, and their hearts stop beating three times without dying, in this world, there are only a handful of people who die on the operating table.

"Here, it involves one of the areas that I and my medical school mentor are most interested in." Under the attentive gaze of several nurses, the doctor said word by word: "It is hypnosis that we can't fully explain with medicine alone." ”

"The simplest hypnosis, any of us will. For example, before you go to bed, you say to yourself ten times in a row, I must wake up at four o'clock, then even if you don't have the habit of insomnia, you can usually sleep until dawn, and at this night, at four o'clock, you will suddenly open your eyes at four o'clock for some reason. That's because you've hypnotized yourself, repeating that command in your mind over and over again, and you've installed a timer switch in your mind. If I don't believe you, you can all try what I said tonight before you go to bed. ”

Speaking of this, the doctor's blue eyes flashed with excitement, and he thought: "Some people with particularly strong willpower can even directly affect their own lives. For example, during the Napoleonic period in France, such a thing happened. When a cavalryman delivered an important military document to Napoleon, he sat quietly on his horse, waiting for Napoleon's orders or inquiries, only to tell the knight that his mission was over. Seeing that the knight was bleeding, Napoleon asked him if he was wounded, and the knight replied, 'No, sir, I am dead,' and as soon as he said this, the knight fell off his horse and stopped breathing. After examining the knight, the doctor came to a very astonishing conclusion, judging by the extent of the knight's injuries, he should have died fifteen minutes ago! ”

"My teacher and I studied these cases specifically, and in the end the teacher came to a very convincing conclusion. He believed that the knight had absolutely strong faith, and after the fatal blow, it was because of his respect and love for the leader, as well as his extreme desire to accomplish anything, that his body's endocrine changes and the secretion of biostimulants from the pituitary gland, which kept his brain in a certain state of euphoria and forcibly extended his life for him. When his mission was completed, as soon as his spirit relaxed, he was immediately pulled into the arms of death. In the course of human history, there are many stories like this venerable knight. ”

The eyes of several nurses widened, such a story or fact was so far away from their lives, it was like listening to a book from heaven.

Through the glass window in front of the door of the intensive care ward, looking at the patients who had undergone five hours of surgery, lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, still in the danger period, looking at the medical record card hanging in front of the bed, the doctor slowly printed the name "Ma Lan" into his brain. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Ma Lan and whispered, "If I am not mistaken, this patient of ours is the kind of person who has the strongest will, and even has some kind of special training in this regard. Before she fell into a coma, she must have used a method similar to what I just said, repeatedly hypnotizing the consciousness layer of her brain, setting a time for herself to forcibly regain consciousness and reopen her eyes. Once her pre-set time is up, her pituitary gland will secrete enough stimulants to help her reopen her eyes, and even without first aid, she will be able to restore her heartbeat and breathing. ”

"Remember when I was in her ear and told her she was going to have a five-hour operation?"

The doctor smiled, "I just want her to keep it in my heart and reset five hours as her goal." A strong-willed person, once she sets a goal, is equivalent to erecting a lighthouse for the ship in the dark sea, as long as she herself does not give up easily, she may persevere to the end! As it turned out, she succeeded, and so did I! ”

Speaking of this, the doctor let out a soft sigh: "I have never met a Chinese who can surprise me so much." But what surprised me the most was that she turned out to be a woman, a woman who forcibly locked her life in her body, and even death had no way to do it! ”

Ma Lan and Lei Zhen both survived the most dangerous ordeal on the operating table. Looking at Lei Zhen and Ma Lan who were lying in the two special care wards, and then at the battalion commander Yang Furui, who was already lying on the hospital bed after being anesthetic, holding the soft and warm quilt, and falling into a deep sleep, Xie Jinyuan finally let out a long sullen breath.

At this time, the only person who could stay awake was Xie Jinyuan, who was in a wheelchair.

The bullet shot from this rifle is accurate enough, and it is good to have a stable surname when shooting, but the bullet hits the person's body, and the instant stagnation force is too poor, and the bullet goes straight into Xie Jinyuan's thigh, and runs straight through, leaving only a bullet hole that is not too thick, and fortunately it does not hurt the bone. According to Xie Jinyuan's estimate, he will be able to use his legs to stand up again in two weeks.

Xie Jinyuan turned his head and looked at his wife Ling Weicheng with apologetic eyes. She didn't say anything to Xie Jinyuan from beginning to end, let alone show dissatisfaction, but just quietly stayed by Xie Jinyuan's side, using her gentleness and thoughtfulness to silently soothe Xie Jinyuan, who had experienced the ups and downs of life, and watched her partner get injured with her own eyes, and seemed restless.

After the doctor helped Xie Jinyuan treat his wound, without him having to speak, Ling Weicheng directly found the nurse and borrowed a wheelchair for him. His young children, who have not seen him for more than a year, are now much more sensible, and have always been obediently by his side, not pestering him to tell stories in the barracks.

Xie Jinyuan stretched out his hand and gently put it on Ling Weicheng's hand, at this time, he really wanted to say something to express his gratitude to his wife. But his lips twitched a few times, and finally nothing came out.

Xie Jinyuan really didn't expect that the reunion of their family of four would be in such an environment. She looks really thin, yes, think about it, a woman with two children, living in the chaotic Shanghai for three months, scared every day, and thinking about her husband who sacrificed his life and blood against the enemy on the battlefield, how many people can withstand this double torment?!

After Ling Weicheng spent all the money on his body, he lived in a refugee camp in the British Concession, and he could only drink the kind of porridge that couldn't fill his stomach at all every day, even if Ling Weicheng didn't say it, Xie Jinyuan also knew that she must have given most of her share of porridge to the two children, in this case, can she not lose weight?!

Stretched out his hand and gently stroked the heads of the two children, quietly feeling the moving feeling of a family of four, the moving feeling of blood connection, at this time, someone suddenly stumbled into the hospital, he didn't even see where Xie Jinyuan was, he straightened his neck, and in the hospital hall where noise was prohibited, he let out a crying roar: "Commander, it's not good, those Brits have stabbed us with their backs!" ”
