Episode 104 Battlefield Saffron (1) Hospital Site Selection
The "front-line medical team of the Red Army Division" led by Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua, under the protection of guard platoon commander Wang Kai, went to the "Anshan" area to assemble, where they were to set up a 'field hospital' to welcome their comrades-in-arms who had retired from the front.
"Captain Guo, the former refers to the instructions of the head of the Ministry of Health, "The radio soldier newly assigned to the medical team is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old female soldier, this person's surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Xue.
"Hello chief, I'm Guo Kaishan, please instruct," the first day of fighting on the front line was also the most exciting day for Guo Kaishan, since then he has become a real field hospital commander, and there is no need to 'wipe the car' for others.
"I'm Vice Minister Liu, there are some changes in the place where you were originally scheduled to set up a point, I hope you will find a place to set up a separate hospital, it is better to be as close to the front line as possible, so that it is convenient to treat the wounded," on the other end of the radio station is the former vice minister of health, who can be regarded as Guo Kaishan's direct leader.
"Chief, you said that I will choose the place myself, but the transportation must be more convenient, right?" Guo Kaishan repeated the chief's order again, afraid that something would go wrong.
"Whatever you want, you have to be closer to the front line anyway, and you have to use the defense, don't do it for two days, and let the enemy find out."
"I know the chief, I'll contact you when I've chosen a place."
Putting down the hand, Guo Kaishan stopped the advancing vehicle, and Liu Xuehua didn't know what was going on, so he ran to Guo Kaishan's jeep.
"What's wrong? Haven't you gotten to the place yet? Liu Xuehua's dress today is different from usual, she is fully armed, not only with a pistol holster on her waist, but also with a submachine gun on her shoulder, and a camouflage training uniform.
"The original place can't be used, and the superiors ordered us to move forward. If you want to get closer to Anshan, I'll see if we can step on the surrounding points, see the terrain, and then study where to station, "Guo Kaishan only has a pistol holster on his body, and he doesn't have a submachine gun to protect himself."
"It's okay, Wang Kai!" Liu Xuehua, as the chief political officer of this unit, naturally had to personally visit the location of the field hospital.
"Here!" Wang Kai, the commander of the guard platoon, was also as happy as Guo Kaishan, and walked out of the field hospital, and only Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua could take care of him at his head. It also shows that the moment for meritorious service is approaching.
"Disperse your guard platoon, Captain Guo and I are going to the front to survey the terrain, and it's all up to you, are you okay?" Liu Xuehua also has a unique emotion for Wang Kai, she likes this young man very much, especially in the looming relationship between him and Nurse Zhang, Liu Xuehua belongs to Nurse Zhang's 'best friend', so the relationship between them is also quite complicated.
"Captain. Do you need me to send you two people? Wang Kai saw that Guo Kaishan was going to drive by himself, and only took Liu Xuehua with him, for their safety, he still had to remind Guo Kaishan.
"This is all within the scope of our military control. What can there be, if there is really something, it is useless to send two more people, if you are really not at ease. Bring me a submachine gun," Guo Kaishan has been dealing with wounded soldiers all day since he entered the border. At first, when he looked at the man with broken arms and legs, he was a little scared, but after watching it for a long time, there was no difference between him and chickens and ducks, and his courage was greater.
"Bring a gun to the captain, bring two more magazines!" Wang Kai waved his big hand back and forth at his own warrior, and immediately a soldier took off the bullet bag on his chest and handed his gun into Wang Kai's hand.
"Captain, give!"
Guo Kaishan didn't wear the bullet bag on his body, maybe he thought this thing was too dirty, his own straight new military uniform, but he didn't get on a few times, he threw the bullet bag to the back seat of the jeep, and the submachine gun was placed on his lap, and said, "Doctor Liu, get in the car!" ”
Liu Xuehua did not sit in the co-pilot's seat, she sat in the back seat, which may be because she thinks that sitting side by side with Guo Kaishan will make people think of something.
Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua have never been to the front line of 'Anshan', and they have walked several mountains in a row, but they have not found a suitable place to camp.
"Why is it different from what I imagined before, don't you say that the mountains on this border are hundreds of meters high, why did you go so far, come and go, they are all thirty or forty meters of hills."
Liu Xuehua is a person who has seen a big scene, after coming to the border, the major surgery of light surgery has to be done several times a day, most of them are amputation operations, when these good people are sawed off their arms and legs with tools, Liu Xuehua will inevitably be sad, but I have seen a lot, in order to save the lives of my comrades, amputation is also a last resort, thinking of this, her mentality is much calmer, now she seems to be much older, from her body, no longer see the sunshine of young people, what you see is the experience of the years," Let's take a look further, such a low boundary is really not suitable for a field hospital, at least a hundred meters up. ”
Just when Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua continued to drive, a military truck drove quickly in front of them, looking at the speed of the truck, it should have reached the end, when they saw Guo Kaishan's jeep marked with a red cross, the driver stopped.
"Comrade, are you doctors?" The young officer who got out of the car had a dark face, he should have just come down from the front line, his body was covered with mud, especially his high-waisted rubber shoes, sweat stains and mud were mixed together, and he walked with the sound of leather shoes, "Kaka's".
"We are the front-line medical team of the Red Army division, is there anything wrong?" Guo Kaishan first answered the young officer's question.
"That's great, comrade medic, save our instructor, he let the shell hit," the young officer's eyes lit up, as if he had met a great savior, and his mouth could not close with joy.
"Where?"
"It's in the truckboard, Director, we've found the medic!" The young officer seemed to be shouting at the man in the tarpaulin.
Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua walked a few steps and jumped on the truck, only to see a man who had been blown up by a shell lying on a stretcher on the car. The man was almost all black, as if he had just been dug out of a coal heap.
"It seems that the injury is not light, but it's okay, our medical car and surgical vehicle are behind, you can follow us," Liu Xuehua saw that the injured had to have surgery, so he pulled Guo Kaishan back to his car, and in this way, the two military vehicles came to the large army one after the other.
The operation was performed by Liu Xuehua himself. Fortunately, it was delivered in a timely manner, and after removing more than a dozen small pieces of shrapnel, the wounded man's life was saved.
"How is it comrade military doctor, is our instructor okay?" As soon as Liu Xuehua got out of the operating car, the young officer and the secretary he brought hurriedly ran up.
Liu Xuehua smiled and said to them, "There is no danger to his life for the time being, but you have to send him to the field hospital, and the later treatment is also very important." ”
"Thank you so much, Comrade Medic. You are the great savior of our company, our company commander has just died, if the instructor is gone, our company will be over. The young officer held Liu Xuehua's hand with his big hand, Liu Xuehua's medical gloves had not been taken off, his hands were full of blood, but he had not paid attention.
"Alright, alright. Go early, I'll send you a female nurse to take care of the wounded on the way." It's okay now," Liu Xuehua may be too tired, and after finishing speaking, she turned to the van that usually transports the wounded, and it seems that she is going to lie down for a while.
The young officer wanted to continue to say some words of thanks, but Wang Kai stopped him, "Our doctor Liu has been operating for two or three hours, you can let her rest for a while, and it is important to send the wounded to the field hospital quickly." ’
"Yes, yes, let's go right away," the young officer realized that surgery was more tiring than fighting, and he stopped saying words of thanks, and turned around to leave.
"Hey, comrade, wait a minute, I have something to ask you," Guo Kaishan walked to the young officer's side with a military map in his hand.
"Comrade military doctor, what's the matter, just ask me, our company has been fighting in this area for two or three years, and there is nothing I don't know," the young officer is quite smart, he has long heard that Guo Kaishan is a 'front-line medical team', maybe he can help something.
"We want to build a field hospital in this area, but we have found several places, and we have not been satisfied, I want to ask you, is there such a place near here, which is convenient for transportation and good for defense, can we be stationed there?" A military map was opened on the front of the jeep, and young officers such as Guo Kaishan came to give instructions.
"This is also too easy to find, there are three places available here, one is Shentou Ridge, one is the back of our company, there is called Phoenix Gorge, and the last one, it is closer to the front line, the locals of country Y call it 'Shenxian Mountain', the traffic there is also very convenient, not very far from the highway, only a few hundred meters." The young officer seemed to be a local expert, but he was very proud when I saw him talking exaggeratedly.
But Guo Kaishan searched around on the military map, but did not find the names of these three geography, "Why don't I have this map, why don't you help me take a look?" ”
"Here, here, the third here," the young officer casually pointed to the map, but the area he was pointing to did not have these three markings.
Guo Kaishan shook his head in confusion.
The young officer also seemed to see Guo Kaishan's difficulties, so he said, "Okay, you send someone to press the car and help our secretary send the instructor to the field hospital, and I will stay with you to explore the ground, do you think it's okay?" ”
"That's the best," Guo Kaishan was overjoyed, and hurriedly arranged for an old volunteer technician in the team to accompany the personnel on the military truck and left first.
The young officer's surname is Lu, named Lu Fei, this person is very talkative, and after staying for a while, he amused the female soldiers of the medical team to the ground, not to mention how funny.
"Old platoon, look at it, people are also platoon commanders, you are also platoon commanders, and your opponent has added another one," a squad leader under Wang Kai walked to Wang Kai's side and said cool words, Wang Kai also nodded in agreement, in fact, he is similar to these soldiers, if he hadn't been promoted back then, maybe his theoretical and military level, that is, the same as them, would be only a 'squad leader level' at best.
