Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 15 We Are Not Deserters
The health team was understaffed, and Ye Ruxue also temporarily became a medical soldier.
Since the beginning of the shelling in the morning, the wounded have been sent to the 19th Brigade's ambulance station on the mountainside, and now the cave that temporarily serves as an ambulance station is now full of wounded.
Because the space in the cave was really limited, more wounded had to be placed in temporary huts outside the cave, but fortunately it was a depression and facing a lonely ridge, and it was difficult for the shells of small Japanese gunboats and field guns to penetrate here, and it was difficult for the little Japanese air force to identify the camouflage on the huts.
From the beginning of the morning to the present, Ye Ruxue has not stopped, the whole person seems to be about to fall apart, and then looking at Cao Jiao as if she is nothing, Ye Ruxue can't help but admire, there are still many medical soldiers like Cao Jiao in the national army, and they are under the worst conditions, but they are bearing heavy work.
The reason why the national army is still persevering, the reason why it has not been defeated by small Japan until now, and the reason why so many veterans can recover after being injured and return to the battlefield is inseparable from the silent efforts of thousands of medical soldiers such as Cao Jiao, who are also heroes like the soldiers of the national army.
The little madman suddenly ran out of the cave and said to Cao Jiao with tears in his eyes: "Sister, come and take a look." ”
Cao Jiao was cleaning the gauze, so she quickly got up and walked into the cave, Ye Ruxue also followed into the cave, in the cave, Gu Yaqin was crying in front of a stretcher, on the stretcher, the donkey Erdan was coughing violently with his chest, and every time he coughed, blood foam would slide down his mouth and chest, sticky, and with bubbles.
"Don't cough, don't cough, don't cough." Cao Jiao squatted down by the stretcher and comforted with tears.
Donkey Erdan in order to collect a little more quinine for the injured patients infected with malaria, as a result, let little Japan sneak attack on the back and hit a knife, although it did not hurt the heart, the right lobe was pierced, if it can be transferred to the rear in time for treatment, it can still save his life, but it is still broad daylight, and it is not realistic to transfer the wounded to the rear.
Because under the threat of the small Japanese field artillery group and naval artillery, the wounded could not cross the open area between Niu Shidun and the east and west Guling, and even the small Japanese heavy machine guns could threaten it, and the wounded could only be transported down after dark, so the donkey and other seriously wounded could only wait.
The donkey couldn't help it at all, coughing and coughing all the time, coughing so much that he couldn't speak.
"Erdan, don't cough, please, if you cough again, your lungs will be crushed." Cao Jiao pleaded with tears, she was studying medicine, and knew that patients who injured their lungs must not cough, because violent coughing would tear the wounds in the lungs, making the injury even more serious, and once it caused internal hemorrhage, the person would be completely hopeless.
Malaria came quickly, and it went quickly, Wang Yidao ate quinine tablets, and covered his sweat again, he was awakened from his sleep by the violent coughing sound of Donkey Erdan, so he sat up and moved to the stretcher of Donkey Erdan, Wang Yidao joined the 19th Brigade for only three or four months, and his personality was also a little withdrawn, so he didn't get along well.
But Wang Yidao is a character with clear grievances, because Zhang Wenquan saved him, so he didn't save Zhang Wenquan once, and because the 19th Brigade saved him, he did not hesitate to join the 19th Brigade, in his words, he just didn't want to owe people a favor, the 19th Brigade had saved his life, and he took this life to repay.
Therefore, when Wang Yidao learned that Donkey Erdan was injured in order to collect medicine for them, he was sincerely grateful to Donkey Erdan, and felt that he owed Donkey Erdan a great favor, he held Donkey Erdan's hand tightly, and said angrily: "Erdan, good brother, hold on, you must hold on." ”
After a long time, the cough of the donkey Erdan was finally stopped, but the person only had one breath left, the violent cough just now had torn his right lung lobe, and now even if he was sent to the field hospital, he would not be saved, Cao Jiao checked the wound for the donkey Erdan and cried, Ye Ruxue was also in tears, and the departure of every soldier would always make her feel sad.
The donkey was so weak that he couldn't even speak, but just looked at Ye Ruxue with a pleading look.
After the remnants of the 19th Brigade returned to Wuhan from the Lanfeng battlefield, Ye Ruxue became a reporter with the army, and always stayed with the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade.
Ye Ruxue realized that the donkey had something to say, so she squatted down in front of the stretcher.
Donkey Erdan raised his right hand with difficulty, pointing to his jacket pocket, Ye Ruxue took out a letter from Donkey Erdan's jacket pocket, but it was a suicide note written by her two days ago, when she said after writing the suicide note, Donkey Erdan would never have the opportunity to use this suicide note, but she didn't want to use it today.
Thinking of this, Ye Ruxue couldn't help but feel like a knife, she couldn't help but think of the new daughter-in-law who had just passed the door, and even more thought of the old mother who had already passed through the door, how sad they would be when they learned about the death of Donkey Erdan? Although she has not experienced the death of her loved ones, she can fully imagine the heart-rending pain.
The lips of the donkey and the egg were gently closed, but they could no longer make a sound.
Fortunately, Ye Ruxue knew what he wanted to say, so she choked up and said, "Don't worry, Erdan, I will definitely hand over the letter to your daughter-in-law and your mother." ”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Donkey Erdan's mouth, and then the smile froze, and life froze.
Ye Ruxue was sad, and when she stretched out her hand and was about to close the eyes of the donkey, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside the cave, so Gao Shenxing strode in, Gao Shenxing at this time was simply a god, his face was full of blood, and his expression was hideous, and he could feel the strong murderous aura exuded from him from afar.
Gao Shenxing had just come down from the battlefield, and the murderous aura on his body had not yet dissipated.
Ye Ruxue, Cao Jiao and Gu Yaqin were startled, and thought that Gao Shenxing was going to do something to them, but Gao Shenxing put down a bloody person from his back, and then yelled at Cao Jiao: "Cao Jiao, save people, save people."
Cao Jiao woke up in shock, rushed to the bloody man with an arrow, and instructed Gu Yaqin and Ye Ruxue: "Sister Qin, quickly get the hemostatic cotton, Reporter Ye, sulfonamide powder." ”
Gu Yaqin and Ye Ruxue were in a hurry, Cao Jiao soaked water with cotton wool and cleaned the wound on the bloody man's face first, and only after cleaning did he find that it was the company commander Zhang Youquan, but at this moment Zhang Youquan was completely inhuman, his forehead was torn open like a fish's mouth, the bridge of his nose collapsed, the corners of his mouth and lips were all cracked, and his gums were exposed.
However, the most fatal wound was still in the chest, a wound that was obviously cut by a small Japanese saber, Cao Jiao tried to stop the bleeding with a hemostatic cotton, the hemostatic cotton used a ball after a ball, but the blood couldn't stop, Cao Jiao sprinkled sulfonamide powder on the wound again, but it still couldn't stop, the blood was like a spring, and the blood kept gushing out from the wound.
The only hemostatic cotton and sulfonamide powder in the medical station were quickly used up, and Cao Jiao could only press the wound with her hands, but the blood still kept spilling out from between Cao Jiao's fingers, and in just a moment, Gu Yaqin and Cao Jiao also became two bloody people, and Ye Ruxue's face was also stained with a lot of blood
Gao Shenxing walked around beside him, unable to help anything, so he could only keep beating his chest.
The veterans of Zhang Youquan and the army have not joined the 19th Brigade for a long time, and it will only take half a year to complete the battle, but in this half year, more than 500 remnants of Zhang Youquan and the army have quickly integrated into the collective of the 19th Brigade and become an inseparable part of the 19th Brigade.
The 19th Brigade is like a melting pot, and whoever comes will unconsciously blend into it.
Huangpi military parade, light take Shan County, attack Feng County, Dangshan, Dangshan, Dish Blood Xiaozhuzhuang, fight one battle after another, Zhang Youquan and the veterans of the original 7th Army have already established a lifelong friendship with Gao Shenxing, don't look at the two from time to time, but deep down, the two are sympathetic, last time in Xiaozhuzhuang, the two of them lived and died together.
When Xu Shijiu heard the news and arrived, the ambulance station was only full of messes.
Lifting the shroud, Xu Shijiu looked at Zhang Youquan, who was not human, and was speechless for a long time.
Gao Shenxing's eyes erupted with fire, glared at Xu Shijiu viciously, and said word by word: "Before Lao Zhang leaves, let me tell you that he Zhang Youquan is not a deserter, and the remnants of the army are not deserters. ”
"I know that he, Zhang Youquan, has never been a deserter, and except for Sun Yuanliang and Shen Fazao, there is no one in the army." The corners of Xu Shijiu's mouth twitched obviously, he could fully understand Zhang Youquan's state of mind before he died, the Battle of Nanjing was always a thorn in his heart, just like the Fujian Incident was always a thorn in his Xu Shijiu's heart.
In the battle of Nanjing, the army actually fought very hard, very heroic, two brigade commanders, four regiment commanders martyred heroically, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers only escaped more than 500 people, on the record may not be as dazzling as the 74th Army, but on the tragedy, the army is definitely more than that, the small rain flower platform is almost sprinkled with the blood of the soldiers.
But Zuihou, Zhang Youquan and more than 500 remnants of the remnants of the war who died forever because of Sun Yuanliang, a fleeing general, were forever saddled with the infamy of deserters, and even the number of the army was revoked, although Zhang Youquan usually did not show it, but Xu Shijiu knew that he must be wronged, angry, and unwilling in his heart.
Just like back then, when the 19th Route Army was dismembered and reorganized, Xu 19 was also aggrieved, resentful and unwilling.
The slight twitch at the corner of Xu Shijiu's mouth was discovered by Ye Ruxue, who had always been paying attention to Xu Shijiu, and for no reason, Ye Ruxue recalled the scene when Xu Shijiu stood on the fort and waved the flag that day.
On that day, the little Japanese soldiers came to the foot of Fortress Mountain, and Xu 19 was fighting for a brother in Zuihou, and after shooting a bullet from Zuihou, he sent a request to the artillery on the other side with a flag: Shell Fortress Mountain. While making this request, he was also repeatedly clarifying to the artillery on the other side of the river with flag language that the 19th Route Army was not a rebel, and they were not a rebel.
"Good brother, the heroic soul is not far away, see how I avenge you" Xu Shijiu lightly covered the shroud and stood up to salute.
Behind him, more than a dozen officers such as Gao Shenxing, Black Blind, and Li Zihan also took off their military hats one after another, bowing to Zhang Youquan and Donkey Erdan, who had already swallowed their breath.
