When Xu 19 and the others arrived, the wounded transfer place was already overcrowded.

The so-called wounded transfer office is actually an injury appraisal office, where the light and serious wounded who are carried down from the firing line will first be gathered, and then the injuries will be evaluated by a special military doctor, and the less seriously injured ones will be immediately ordered to return to the battlefield after a little bandaging, and the more seriously injured will be transferred to the field hospital in the rear for surgery.

As for the serious injuries, they will be carried directly to the side of the road and wait for death!

This is not cruelty, let alone cold-bloodedness, but helplessness under realistic conditions.

It is said that the right to life is supreme, and it is said that death requires reverence, but when there is a conflict between the right to life of two wounded people, how should you choose? Do you choose the seriously wounded who will inevitably be crippled even if they are saved and will never be able to return to the army, or will you choose those who are likely to return to the army and return to the battlefield?

There is a more difficult choice, you only have a box of medicines, do you choose to save one dying wounded, or choose to save two or more wounded people who are likely to return to the team?

An elderly military doctor is examining the wounded.

"This won't work, carry it away."

"I don't need to save this, take it away."

"This priority surgery should be sent to the hospital immediately."

"Deal with this on the spot, go back as soon as it's over."

"Boy, did you hurt yourself? Go back to the army for Lao Tzu, sloppy. ”

Soon, some of the lightly wounded were forcibly sent back to the unit after a simple bandage, and some of the seriously wounded who were worth rescuing were transferred to the field hospital in the rear, but more seriously wounded were carried to the side of the road.

There were already several rows beside the road, stretching from the front of the eye to the end of the field of vision, at least thousands, many of the wounded were dying, some were still wailing loudly, but many more had been covered with white shrouds, and had already turned into cold corpses, waiting to be buried.

Looking at the rows of corpses, and the conscious wounded of the national army, all of them looked gloomy, and without exception silently shed tears, maybe it won't be long before they become one of these countless corpses, and they will never be able to reunite with their wives and children in their hometown, and they will no longer be able to fulfill their filial piety in front of their parents.

"This one is hopeless, carry it away." Finally it was the turn of the old lady's uncle, but the old military doctor's indifferent words were like a basin of cold water poured on Xu Shijiu's head, Xu Shijiu's emotions were out of control, and he grabbed the old military doctor's clothes with his hand, and roared hoarsely, "You say it again, there is a kind of you try to say it again?" ”

The old military doctor glared at Xu Shijiu coldly, and did not back down, he has seen a lot of thorns in this kind of trouble, if he casually makes such a fuss, he has to give in, so why do you have such an injury evaluation, and all the wounded will be sent to the hospital? But the problem is that the field hospital simply can't receive so many wounded, and more importantly, there are not so many medicines at all!

Not far away, several gendarmes had already noticed that something was wrong and strode over with their guns on their backs.

Xu Shijiu's forehead and the back of his hand were already protruding with earthworm-like green tendons, and his voice almost leaked out of his teeth at the old military doctor: "This is a priority, send it to the hospital!" ”

"This one is hopeless, carry it away!" The old medic did not budge.

Xu Shijiu took out the box cannon, turned on the nose again, and then directly put the muzzle of the gun on the old military doctor's head, repeating what he just said word by word: "Say, this...... Piece...... Excellent...... First...... Place...... Reason! ”

The old military doctor was still unmoved, but the faces of the several gendarmes who came over changed suddenly, and immediately pulled the bolt to push the bullet into the chamber, and pointed the muzzle of the black hole at Xu Shijiu.

Li Zihan was so anxious that he was about to cry, and pulled Xu Shijiu and said, Captain, you are calm and calm, seeing that Xu Shijiu did not react, he hurriedly took two steps forward, blocked in front of the guns of the gendarmes, and pleaded and said: "Don't get me wrong, brothers, our captain is a little emotionally out of control now, you take care of it more, take care of it more......

The second lieutenant officer who led the team could also understand the mood of these soldiers, and said coldly at the moment: "If you don't want to go to court-martial, I advise you to put away your guns quickly." ”

Li Zihan went back and persuaded Xu Shijiu, but it had no effect.

When the two sides were confronting each other, the old lady, who was originally unconscious, woke up, and when he saw the situation at the scene, how could the old lady not know what was happening, and shouted angrily: "Han Wazi, Han Wazi ......"

Xu Nineteen was agitated, and quickly put away the box cannon and squatted down by the stretcher: "Uncle Mother, I'm here, what do you want to say?" Han Wazi is here, I'm here......"

The old military doctor waved his hand at the gendarmes and turned to the next wounded, and the gendarmes put away their guns, and Ergua and Gao Shenxing followed suit.

On the stretcher, the old lady's uncle smiled at Xu Shijiu, and said in a low voice: "Han Wazi, I'm dying, don't bother anymore." ”

Xu Shijiu hurriedly said: "No, old lady, you're fine, it's just a small injury, just take care of it for a few days, it's okay, really." But as he spoke, tears overflowed from the corners of Xu Shijiu's eyes, Ergua's eyes were also red, and Li Zihan cried even more, only Gao Shenxing pursed his mouth tightly, and his whole expression looked extremely cold.

The old lady's uncle didn't pick up Xu Shijiu's stubble, and said to himself: "Han Wazi, I have lived for fifty-six, and being a soldier can live to this age, which is already a rare longevity, and I have experienced everything I should have experienced, there is nothing to regret, if you are still alive after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in the future, don't forget to get me some mochi to taste on the Qingming Festival every year." ”

Xu 19 nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes, he knew that the old lady was from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and according to Shaoxing customs, every year on the Qingming Festival, he would make mochi (glutinous rice steamed and mashed, wrapped in bean paste filling and then kneaded into a roll) to commemorate the ancestors.

"Han Wazi, I, I seem to smell the fragrance of mochi in my hometown, fragrant, so fragrant."

The old lady's originally pale face suddenly became flushed, and an intoxicated smile appeared on his face, and then the smile froze and froze forever, Xu Shijiu recalled the bits and pieces of getting along with the old lady for more than ten years, and then couldn't control his emotions, and threw himself on the old lady's body and cried, crying and shouting, big, big ...... In Xu Shijiu's heart, he had already regarded the old lady as his eldest for a long time.

##########

While Xu Shijiu was crying, Yu Jiaxi was also sobbing outside the gate of Taicang Field Hospital.

Fudan University in Jiangwan has already been blown up by Little Japan, and the field hospital has also moved to Taicang, which is relatively far away from the front line, half a month ago, and Yu Jiaxi has also followed him to Taicang.

Even Xu Shijiu didn't know that Yu Jiaxi was actually the pearl of Shanghai Mayor Yu Hongjun, and the baby daughter had not seen anyone for more than half a month as soon as she left, which made Mayor Yu and his wife anxious, and asked people to ask around to finally know Yu Jiaxi's whereabouts, and the couple rushed to Taicang from Suzhou early this morning.

However, Mayor Yu's wife failed to persuade Yu Jiaxi for a long time, and Mrs. Yu said with tears in her eyes: "Why are you so disobedient? Do you know how dangerous it is for your parents to come from Suzhou to pick you up? On the way, I was almost bombed by Japanese planes several times, obedient, and went to Nanjing with my parents, ah. ”

"Dad, Mom, I really can't go to Nanjing with you." Yu Jiaxi's voice was soft, but her tone was very firm.

Mrs. Yu was anxious, and was about to reprimand a few words when Mayor Yu stopped her, Mayor Yu sighed and said, "Jiaxi, it is said that you are an adult, we shouldn't interfere with you too much, but have you ever thought about how dangerous it is to stay in Taicang?" Have you ever thought about your mom and dad? If you have a good one, who do you let your parents rely on in the future? ”

Yu Jiaxi didn't say anything, but took Mayor Yu and Mrs. Yu to the open space next to the hospital, and when they saw the rows of national army corpses parked in the open space, Mayor Yu and his wife's faces turned pale, and what especially frightened them was that many of these corpses were medical personnel.

Since mid-September, the Japanese Navy and Army have not only intensified their bombing of the forward positions of the Nationalist Army, but also intensified their bombing of the rear areas, and the Nationalist Army's logistical supply convoys, stretcher teams, and even hospitals with crosses have become their bombing targets, and thousands of volunteers have died every day because of their support for the War of Resistance Against Japan.

"Dad, Mom, you all saw it, right? If we want to talk about danger, isn't the environment in which the officers and men of the Nationalist Army who are fighting to the death against the Japanese invaders on the front line are even more dangerous? They also have parents, wives and children, aren't they afraid of life and death? No, they were also afraid to leave their loved ones behind, but they didn't back down, weishenme?

Because they have no choice, they are soldiers, and the duty of soldiers is to defend their families and resist aggression.

Dad, you're right, it's really dangerous to stay in Taicang, but your daughter is a doctor, and the doctor's duty is to save lives and help the wounded, whether it's dangerous or not, her daughter must stay here and do what she can for the soldiers of the national army who are fighting to the death against the Japanese on the front line.

If everyone is only concerned about themselves and is not willing to sacrifice, will there be hope for China?

Dad, Mom, if one day your daughter is really gone, she really sacrifices, please don't be sad, this is the responsibility of your daughter, and your daughter only hopes that you can take good care of your health. ”

Listening to Yu Jiaxi's words, Mrs. Yu couldn't help but cry.

However, Mrs. Yu's crying did not make Yu Jiaxi change her decision, she bowed deeply to her parents, and then resolutely turned around and returned to the hospital, Mrs. Yu cried more and more mournful, Mayor Yu put his arm around Mrs. Niang's shoulders and sighed: "The child has grown up and has her own ideas, let her go." ”

"But Lao Yu, we have a daughter." Mrs. Yu said with teary eyes, "My heart." ”

Mayor Yu wiped the corners of his eyes, pointed to the row of corpses lying quietly on the ground, and said, "Aren't these children also the hearts of their parents?" Jiaxi is right, this is her responsibility, if she really sacrifices one day, that is the price we should pay, and it is also the price that the entire Chinese nation should pay. ”
