"Sometimes, you can't just pay attention on your own." Perhaps moved by the Russian female doctor's words of concern, Dashan Yan sighed, but still told her a vague truth.

Natalia didn't quite understand the Japanese general's words, but she didn't ask much, just looked at him with a puzzled look.

"You know Lin Yiqing, right?" Oyama asked.

"I've heard of him, he seems to be a Qianguo man, but he is the actual commander of the rebels, and I heard that he is a very terrible person." Natalia replied.

In fact, she knew Lin Yiqing's deeds in detail, but the person who spoke to her was the commander of the Japanese army, and she did not show her good feelings for Lin Yiqing out of caution.

When Natalia first heard about Lin Yiqing, she was surprised at first, but soon turned to admiration.

It is hard for her to imagine that a Qianguo person, who traveled thousands of miles, left his relatives and friends, came to Japan alone, and fought against the tyranny of the Japanese government together with those brave Japanese samurai!

Perhaps it was in Lin Yiqing's body that she seemed to see the fighting spirit of the "Decembrists", and she had a good impression of Lin Yiqing from the very beginning.

Of course, Lin Yiqing also brought her troubles, that is, endless wounded and operated on ......

"You're right, he's a terrible man." Dashan Yan nodded, "A very, very terrifying person, he is a bloodthirsty beast, a ...... Killing machines. ”

When he said the words "killing machine", Dashan Yan's eyes couldn't help but show a look of fear.

"He's so scary?" Natalia said disapprerovingly, "I'd love to see it." What kind of person he is. ”

"To say such a terrible person to a woman as elegant and lovely as you. It's a little cruel. "Dashan Yan wondered why he was telling her this." Still, I hope you don't have a chance to face him. ”

Natalia nodded, at this time someone came to Natalia, there was an important operation that she needed to complete, Da Shanyan saw that she was busy, so he got up and said goodbye, she sent him out of the door, and ran to the operating room. Get ready.

The commander of the 1st Polish Battalion handed over a piece of paper to the nurse Grace with an order to report to the Japanese medical battalion, much to Grace's great sadness. That is to say, they not only removed her from the camp, but also told her to leave her husband altogether.

The battalion commander was bored with this, and he sat down in his chair with a hunched body, waiting for tears and cries. Because he himself was born very short, he was always a little afraid to see this fat woman. But nothing happened. Grace only sighed when she read the order, and then she looked at the battalion commander strangely, very carefully, as if with pity. After asking the address of the place where he was going and where to go, he left.

In addition to the pain caused by the separation from her husband Satsverekov. There was also a heavy matter on her mind that distressed her. Grace herself didn't know what was going on. Later she realized that she hadn't worked for two days, and she was not used to being free, so she felt distressed.

While waiting for the carriage to the Japanese medical camp, she saw a Russian soldier with a bandage on his head walking on the road, so she stopped him: "This gentleman, what's wrong with you?" Is it injured? ”

"No," replied the Russian soldier unhappily, "it's just an abscess." ”

"Scabies." Grace corrected.

The bandage was loosened, and Grace - not without difficulty - persuaded the soldier to have the bandage on his head re-bandaged. Needless to say, she bandaged quickly and quickly, and the soldier couldn't help but become gentle.

They got into a carriage together, and Grace didn't feel like they had walked some distance. She told her travel companion a lot about medicine and asked about his family and hometown. When the soldier told the sad story of his brother or the illness of his son, she shook her head sadly and sighed incessantly. When he told something pleasant—that he had caught a lot of fish in the White Sea, or that his son had regained his health—she smiled and nodded happily, and asked, "Really?!" Is that so? That's great! ”

It turned out that he was a northerner on the shores of the White Sea, and he spoke a strange coastal native language, which attracted the attention of his traveling companions.

Two days later, Grace was assigned to another unit's medical battalion. She immediately moved there.

Unfortunately, the man from the shores of the White Sea was no longer with her, and he followed his own frontline path and did not know where to go. Grace's new companion was a young Russian lieutenant with a bandage on his face. He pressed his hand to his face and cursed in a sad whisper.

Grace took a bottle of alcohol from her small box, soaked cotton, and stuffed it into the lieutenant's sick tooth. She even gave him a little alcohol. At the same time, she also said some words of comfort. She said that she herself often had toothaches - this was not true, and in her opinion, there was nothing worse in the world than a toothache.

After the lieutenant drank some alcohol, the chatterbox of the soldiers in the same car gradually opened. Each of them saw it as their duty to tell the sympathetic Grace about their illness and to talk about their toothache once in a while.

"But when it comes to giving birth, the pain is even worse," said Grace, though she has never given birth, "when that can't be helped." This is the pain of our woman's family, and we can neither refuse it nor avoid it, having children and then going to bury them. ”

Her own words stirred her, and she remembered her Satsverekov, as if she had given birth to him and now buried him.

In the medical camp, she was sent to work as a paramedics. She reported to the surgeon.

She was amazed: the surgeon turned out to be a very young woman, slender, tall, pretty, pale and melancholy. The military coat she wore was so fitting that it did not resemble a military coat, but like a coat that was fashionable in the city - only a fox fur was hung on the collar. "A noble woman!" Grace thought to herself. But there was a powerful and stern look in the large gray eyes of the surgeon, as Grace perceived with slight satisfaction, and perhaps this look meant that the female doctor was a learned and respectable person.

Her name is Natalia? Trubetskaya.

Natalia learns that a new nurse named Grace is the new nurse. She stared at Grace in surprise. Then he stood up. Walking around the room, he asked, "Where did you work before?" ”

Grace began to speak, but Natalia looked at her crimson mouth and hands. The hands are small and plump, impeccable in appearance, and above all show an indescribable kindness.

Of course, appearance is often unreliable.

Natalia said coldly, "Oh, you have a lot of experience, then you can get to work." ”

Natalia often watched the new caregiver attentively. It turns out that Grace is a person who loves to talk and laugh. She often stayed up all night. Caring for everyone and ready to replace anyone in any job, she lifts things up to top two men.

"Our camp is sometimes much busier!" This fat Polish woman often said with pride.

She endured the parting without complaint. Or is it all the same for her? Perhaps everyone's love for her - and now everyone loves her in the medical camp - can replace the love of her husband Satsverekov.

But she wasn't actually as happy as she seemed, and once Natalia walked into the tent in the middle of the night when she met Grace crying.

Natalia asked, "Who bullied you?" ”

Grace stood up, wiped away her tears, and said, "No, no one bullied me. However, women sometimes need to cry as much as they want, and women can't live if they don't cry. Especially people like me, if I don't cry as much as I want. I don't know what to ......."

As she performed this monologue, she was completely back to normal. Even smiled slightly. Natalia's heart tightened. She actually sympathized with these Polish women who came to Japan.

Natalia asked again, "Are you depressed?" ”

"I'm depressed." Grace replied.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Who is not depressed now?" Although my husband is still alive...... But someone else's...... And your ...... Someone told me...... Your husband has sacrificed ......"

At this moment, Natalia, who had always been very calm, wanted to tell Grace about her encounter with Ensign Michelsky and his death. But Grace suddenly panicked, blushed, and said, "I beg your pardon if my words are inappropriate,...... I have to go. ”

Natalia understood the hint, and she was deeply stimulated, frowning, and silent, but Grace felt ashamed, stammered some apologies, and went out.

Natalia shook her head sadly, and she thought to herself, to tell the truth, how happy this kind fat woman was: she and her husband were truly in love. Her separation from her husband would soon end with the war. And her suffering will not end with the end of the war.

But she didn't know that the moment that would change the fate of her life was coming.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

It's dawn. The Samochi soldiers ushered in the light of the morning light.

For the whole night, there was no movement. It seems that the intelligence is false, or the enemy's infiltration forces have chosen not to follow this path. But he didn't receive Lin Yiqing's order to retreat, so he lay quietly on his stomach, motionless, and continued to wait.

There were mosquitoes, leeches and so on in the woods, but fortunately, it was not a very hot night, and everyone sprayed mosquito repellent from head to toe, so I didn't suffer anything from this. But it was cold, everyone was lying on the wetland, and there was no dry place in their bodies, and they couldn't help but shiver for a while.

They were waiting for an unknown number of enemy infiltrators, and the Satsuma artillerymen here complained that they had not slept well for the past few days, and that the enemy often came to sneak attack, throw in explosives, slash sentry necks with knives, or silently lay mines nearby.

In a word, these enemies are annoying enough, and the Satsuma artillerymen grit their teeth with hatred.

Lin understood that as the war continued, the enemy also learned, and learned the tactics he had created in this era.

The Satsuma Army's odd soldiers infiltrated the government army, in addition to finding targets for the artillery, setting parameters, and surveying the terrain. Assassinations and sabotage of enemies are also often carried out. In time. Government forces also learned the corresponding tactics and counterattacked. It may be that there has been a lack of corresponding reciprocal retaliation before, and the sabotage and massacre infiltrated by the government army have become more and more intense, and they have been repeatedly successful, making the Satsuma soldiers on the front line very nervous. As soon as the artillery positions arrived at night, a military blockade was formed, and the soldiers standing guard were loaded with bullets, their fingers were pulled on the triggers, and they fired wildly at the slightest disturbance. As soon as the gunshot goes off. All the soldiers on the position would get up and shoot their guns to warn the enemy that they had been discovered and that if they didn't leave, they would die. Such a state is tantamount to self-chaos, and for Lin Yiqing, it is necessary to reverse this phenomenon.

The artillery units here suffered greatly, they did not sleep well at night, they were overloaded during the day, and they were so tired that they were out of shape. Since last night the Odd Soldiers came. It was a safe night, and everyone was grateful. Maybe the enemies have already sniffed out that there is a special opponent. I slipped away, and went somewhere else to find soft persimmons from other troops.

But Lin Yiqing believes that the enemy has definitely not withdrawn and is still nearby. This is a heavy artillery position of the Satsuma Army, equipped with the only remaining 120 mm Krupp cannon of the Satsuma Army, and because the Satsuma artillery is very alert, the enemy actually does not take advantage of it at all. In the case that the task of destruction has not been completed, Lin Yiqing is sure that they have not left yet, and they must still be lurking somewhere.

This group of enemies has been infiltrating for a long time, and it is time for them to put an end to it. Because they were eyeing this heavy artillery position of the Satsuma Army, which was a very powerful artillery group in front of Kumamoto Castle, these people had been staying there for more than three days, so it could be said that their whereabouts had been exposed, and there would be further big moves.

Lin Yiqing's task is to lead his Odd Soldier team to do everything possible to kill them.

Because the day has arrived, everyone's vigilance has relaxed a little. As a rule of thumb, enemies lurk during the day and move at night. Lin Yiqing moved his body, the back of his hand holding the sniper rifle had become black, and his eyes were swollen and his mind was dizzy because he had been staring at the scope for half of the night. Fortunately, there is also a deputy, Junichi Takagi, and the two of them take turns to rest, otherwise, it would not be possible for a person to stare closely at the sniper point through the scope for a long time.

It's too cold on the body, and the temperature in the Kumamoto area varies too much between day and night, especially in the mountains. Looking at this, I am afraid that there is no hope for the temperature to rise. Taking advantage of the fact that the fog had not yet risen, Lin Yiqing secretly lucked for a while, tensed the muscles around his body, relaxed, tensed, and relaxed, and did so several times.

Now he feels much better and seems to have a little heat on his body. This method was taught to him by Xiaotong, and people are easily tired during a long period of incubation, so it is necessary to exercise such muscles. He looked back at Junichi Takagi beside him, he was also holding his breath, the muscles on his face were tense and white, and then his whole body relaxed and exhaled. This is indeed a very effective muscle exercise, which increases calories and can achieve a good cold and refreshing effect.

Waiting in the lurking requires patience. Everyone was not impatient after a hard night's work. It's nothing, their longest latent training is lying on the ground for a week, and the environment is much harsher than it is now.

Lin Yiqing refocused his gaze on the narrow mountain passage area at the bottom of the mountain, which was the only area without mines on this side, about two hundred meters away in a straight line. When he came last night, he had already heard from the people of the Broken Bamboo Team, because he had to shift his position often, so he set aside a way. If the enemy's enemies want to pass unhindered in a place full of minefields, they will surely observe the route they often take. Intuitively, he believed that the enemy was nearby and would surely reappear. There was no trouble last night, but it was just a reality that made people relax their vigilance. It is likely that these guys will act in broad daylight instead, and run away after taking out an artillery team in one fell swoop. Then now is the time to go.

The fog gradually rose.

The position of the Bamboo Breakers was less than fifty meters in the rear.

The mist in the mountains drifted away, dispersed and rose again, and the branches and leaves of the trees shook gently in the wind, and large raindrops fell. It wasn't the dew drops on the leaves, it was the real rain from the sky. The rain was heavy and rapid, and the broad-leaved trees in the woods made the sound of the rain hitting the leaves.

Everybody was cursing the damn bad weather in their hearts.

Here it comes!

Just when everyone was secretly cursing in their hearts, in the midst of the shadows, a figure appeared. The moment the fog cleared, Lin Yiqing and Junichi Takagi both saw a person walking from below. It is probable that this man was ambushed on the mountainside, under the mountain, and on the hill next to the passage, and the people who were annihilated in melee combat also saw it. I saw that this person was wearing the costume of the Satsuma Army, with a cat waist, nervously holding a gun, looking around, and walking very carefully. He was too cautious, probably afraid of the Satsuma army lurking.

Jun Takagi turned his head to glance at Lin Yiqing, his eyes full of suspicion. Lin Yiqing is not sure whether this is his own person or an infiltration force of the government army. But according to the plan, now is not the time to shoot. Everyone needs to wait further to see what is coming. Soon a figure appeared in the free mist, still a man in a Satsuma uniform.

Yesterday a military blockade order was issued here, which is commonly referred to as martial law, and for these two days no one is allowed to pass through the mine-free zone between the positions without authorization, unless there is a special order. The so-called special order means that the scout squad will be notified of the time, place, and number of people. All those who have been granted the right of way will have a branch inserted in their jacket and a pass mark with the leaves on it, with the left jacket pocket during the day and the right jacket pocket at night.
