Chapter 53: The Surrender of the Cantonese Clan

The fire has now been extinguished and the town has become a medical facility, with more than a dozen tents erected to serve as makeshift operating theatres. There are three or four doctors and a few nurses in each tent who are constantly busy inside, anesthesia, shrapnel, anti-inflammatory, medicated, bandaging, these processes are constantly repeated, and all the doctors and nurses in the entire temporary medical center are not slackening at all, because there are more injured people waiting to be rescued outside.

The battlefield was almost cleared, and many prisoners joined the search for the wounded, because there were their friends, brothers, relatives. However, at this time, the prisoners did not resent the People's Army, the war was cruel, and this can only be regarded as a different position. Moreover, the other party's selfless rescue of the wounded made the captives very admired. They all thought in their hearts that if they changed their identities, they would be like them, and they all felt very ashamed.

At this time, Jiang Baili, Qian Sihai, and Chen Shaokuan all came to the medical center. While watching the wounded lift in front of their eyes, the slightest injuries were hit by shrapnel in non-vital parts, and the heavier ones were either concentrated or missing arms and legs, each injured person was in great pain, and the entire air above the medical center was filled with painful wails.

Chen Shaokuan shook his head and said: "I have done my best, I have sent out the officers and men of the entire fleet with medical capabilities, and all the medicines have been transported ashore. "

Jiang Baili nodded and said, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." "

Qian Sihai excused: "I don't know how many people can survive here?" "

Chen Shaokuan saw a bandaged wounded soldier carrying in front of him, so he said: "Most of those who can survive are disabled. "The wounded soldier had no legs left, but the strong winning ** kept him going.

"It's good to be able to pick up a life, but fortunately they met us, if it were another warlord, they would just shoot them out of pain. Qian Sihai was full of disdain when he spoke of other warlords.

Jiang Baili smiled and said to Qian Sihai: "The commander is very magical, if I hadn't followed him for the past few years, I would also be one of the warlords in your mouth." "

Qian Sihai didn't answer, but nodded thoughtfully. At this time, a man dressed as a doctor came running up and said, "Three sir, we don't have much medicine. "

Jiang Baili opened his mouth and asked, "How long can you hold on?" "

"Half an hour at most, the plasma is running out now, and it is still a lot of soldiers and prisoners who donate blood to hold on until now. "The doctor said in a hurry.

"It doesn't matter, the medicine will come soon, and it is estimated that it will take ten minutes for the Air Force to airdrop a batch of medicines. Jiang Baili looked at his watch and said.

"Well, then I'll get busy first. The doctor turned around and walked into the operating room, where there was another patient in the middle of the operation.

Qian Sihai opened his mouth at this time and said: "According to the speed of the Air Force, it is almost there." After speaking, he looked up at the sky to the south, and at this time, several black spots slowly appeared in his eyes. Qian Sihai pulled down Chen Shaokuan and Jiang Baili and said, "Two, the Air Force is here." "

Jiang Baili also looked up and said to the messenger beside him: "Immediately ask the soldiers to sort out a vacant land and prepare to receive medicine." "

"Yes. "

At this time, another messenger ran over and said: "Report, the Air Force is calling, asking how the airport is prepared?" The first doctors and medicines have already arrived at the airbase and can take off at any time. "

Qian Sihai took the communicator's words and said, "Immediately ask the first regiment of the Marine Corps, how is the runway?" "

"Yes. "

It didn't take long for the messenger to report again: "Report, the first regiment of the Marine Corps has received news that they have cleared a 400-meter runway at a timber mill, and they can clear another one or two hundred meters in half an hour." And the ground there is solid and flat, which can hide the need for landing, and it is not far from here. "

"Half an hour, five or six hundred meters, that's enough, send a message to the Air Force, you can take off, and send the landing place to the Air Force as well. Jiang Baili nodded and said to the communicator.

"Yes. "

The three of them looked here again, and then returned to the cruiser Guangxi. Chen Jitang had already been taken to Guangxi at this time, and a room was specially prepared for him. Now he is much more conscious, no longer confused, and at the same time aware of his situation. Now he is someone else's prisoner, looking at the structure of the room, it is not difficult to see that he is on the ship now, and it is a big ship.

Chen Jitang stood up from the bed, walked around the room a few times, and found that there was a device that pushed up next to the bed, he walked over and pushed it curiously, and he didn't need to push it too hard, and at the same time, the bed that was originally flat turned up and was directly attached to the wall of the room. Pull it down, and the bed is turned over again, and a baffle can be extended from the side of the bed to prevent people from falling to the ground due to the swing of the boat while sleeping.

There is also a workbench in the room, and there is a small door next to it, which opens to reveal a small washroom, in which toiletries such as toothbrushes and toothpaste are neatly arranged. There is also a ventilation pipe above the room, because the surrounding area is sealed, and a ventilation pipe can also make the air inside a little better.

Just when Chen Jitang was curiously looking around, Jiang Baili pushed open the door and walked in. When Chen Jitang saw Jiang Baili, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Brother Baili, I didn't expect that you really became Chen Shao's subordinate, I'm curious, with your identity, isn't it a grievance?" "

Jiang Baili smiled and said, "Bernan, is this strange? So far, do you still think that Chen Shao is the same as an ordinary warlord? "

"I admit that the Katsura army is strong, but not strong enough to convince me. "

"No, you're wrong, I'm not talking about the army, I'm talking about the equipment, have you forgotten how you got here. "

"Fleet, naval artillery." At this time, Chen Jitang reflected. Nice, hang out with me."" Well, I want to go out and check it out too."

Subsequently, Jiang Baili took him directly to the deck, and neither of them spoke. When he arrived at the bow of the ship, Jiang Baili pointed to the rest of the warships at sea and said, "What do you think of the strength of these warships?" Unbelievable, in which country did Chen Shao buy these warships?" Chen Jitang asked in surprise: Since he learned that Chen Shao had warships yesterday, Chen Jitang has always wanted to know where these warships came from. Bought? Now the countries are licking their wounds, and you think they still have the energy to produce so many new warships to sell to us." Jiang Baili's words were a little disdainful.

"Then where did these warships come from? "

"Don't you think that we built these warships ourselves? "

"How is this possible! Chen Jitang couldn't believe it.

"Nothing is impossible."

"Is it true?"

"Do I have to lie to you?" Regarding Chen Jitang's words, Jiang Baili gave a favorable answer.

Oh, yes! Now that he has become a prisoner of others, there is no need to deceive himself with this. Thinking of this, Chen Jitang was still a little incredulous, he didn't expect that in China, there was already such strength, and the dozen or so warships he saw with his own eyes had a maximum displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and he also had six at the same time. Think about the Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty, the largest warship is only a few thousand tons, and now there is a displacement of 10,000 tons standing under his feet, this battleship can be said to be the largest warship in China's history. Recalling the roaring cannons last night, Chen Jitang still felt the sound of cannons, and the sound of explosions echoed in his ears, so clear. Is this the power of the Katsura line? Who can stop this kind of power in the country.

Just when Chen Jitang was stunned, there was a strange roar in the sky, he couldn't help but look up, and suddenly exclaimed: "The plane, and it's so big." ”

"Brother Baili, what are these planes?" Chen Jitang turned his head to look at Jiang Baili and asked.

"These are transport planes, and this time they came here to bring doctors and medicines." Jiang Baili explained to him in detail.

"What a big plane, I'm the first to see it, and I've never even heard of it before."

"Yes! This is a brand new transport aircraft designed specifically for transporting goods. ”

"You just said that the doctor is medicine, is there a lot of casualties in your army?"

"No, we didn't have any casualties, and your men suffered a lot of casualties by then, and these things are for you." Jiang Baili looked at Chen Jitang and said slowly.

"This, this..." Chen Jitang wanted to say something, but he never said it.

"This is what Chen Shao has always explained to us, we are all Chinese, and if we can save it, we will save it." Jiang Baili's words were very serious.

Jiang Baili's words made Chen Jitang feel deeply shocked, especially the four words "If you can save it, you can save it", which made him feel ashamed. Thinking of his injured subordinates, Chen Jitang said to Jiang Baili, "Can I go and see them?" ”

"Yes, see how it should be."

"Brother Baili, thank you." Thank you, Chen Jitang said it very sincerely, and it was also a portrayal of his true heart at this time.

"No, it's not me who you should thank, but Chen Shao, he just sent me a telegram, and after learning that you woke up, he told me not to restrict your freedom."

After Chen Jitang listened, he nodded and didn't say anything. Subsequently, Jiang Baili asked someone to arrange a landing craft, and he followed Chen Jitang to the medical center.

After arriving, seeing a large group of wounded soldiers, Chen Jitang walked over and said sorry to them one by one, and bowed and thanked all the doctors and nurses. Many wounded soldiers were also very moved when they saw Chen Jitang come to comfort them, and some even lay down and saluted him, although they are now prisoners, but it does not prevent them from respecting their commanders.

Then he saw more tents set up, trucks carrying medicines and doctors, and more and more wounded soldiers being treated. He turned around and said to Jiang Baili with a serious face: "Give me a radio station, I tell them all to lay down their arms and accept the adaptation of your army, my soldiers are all good, I hope you can treat them well." ”

Jiang Baili did not answer, but nodded solemnly, this was his promise to Chen Jitang.
