Chapter 16: One Leg

This thrilling battle, which seemed to me, did not keep the troops for even half an hour, and the fact that several of our comrades in the squad had died lingered in my mind.

These guys are different from the red-haired soldier, who I've known since I was at the Martian base. Levi was with me at the moon base, and he laughed at me for being a dirt bun at the time, but no matter whether he gave me a good impression or not, now that a person so vivid in my memory died like this, I suddenly felt a little scared, maybe tomorrow it will be someone else's turn to remember me.

I found a family of three Rosha on the side of the road, who were supposed to be refugees, and the three of them hugged each other to escape the cold wind. They saw our convoy and didn't run away, and the man in it knelt down on the side of the road, begging us to help them.

Now my comrade-in-arms next to me is the squad leader Ojet, and I said to him, "Maybe we can give them a little food, or give them a ride, if we don't help them, their family will freeze to death here tonight." ”

Ojet just glanced ahead and said, "Come on, we still have two truckloads of wounded soldiers."

Perhaps it was the death of my comrades in the platoon that made me sentimental again, and I said, "But they're civilians, maybe they can do something for us." ”

"You can throw your own supplies at them and leave you alone," said Ojet, impatiently. If you want to say miserable, you haven't seen those wounded. ”

I thought of the shattered corpses that were bombed on the battlefield, and I suddenly felt a little sick to my stomach, and hurriedly said, "Come on, I've seen too much." ”

Ojet pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "No, the people you see on the battlefield are all happy people, you didn't go to the medical soldiers, those comrades who didn't die are the real miserable."

I just passed by there and saw a man whose lower body was completely knocked out, and the doctor stuffed his intestines into it and sprayed gel frantically, but his intestines kept falling.

The man was still conscious, and he kept begging the doctor to kill him. In the end, his captain couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened the doctor and shot him in the head, and he was relieved. ”

It was quickly getting dark and we stopped, it was already very close to the Kara Mountains. The majestic silhouette of the mountains can be seen in the distance, and our task now is to launch a counteroffensive by the reserve forces. Chen Kaishir also controlled a part of the fortress to resist stubbornly, and millions of troops rushed to the Kara Mountains to rescue.

We needed to rest because of the massive offensive that was going on in the next two days, and as soon as the car stopped, I wanted to go down and get into the warm alloy tent and sleep comfortably, but Odjet stopped me.

He frowned at me and said, "Wait a minute, no one here will keep track of who rotates, and those officers will always arrest whoever they see and go to stand guard." ”

I'm going to thank Odjet for the advice, and soon my good brother Roy complained to me on the channel: "Damn, I shouldn't have rushed so fast, that damn captain caught me to stand guard again!! Bring me some wine, I'm going to die outside!" ”

I laughed at Roy, this guy is very smug, always eats up a few days' supplies, is lazy to smoke and drink and runs faster than anyone else. But I have to admit that when it comes to fighting, Roy, who has a lot of nerves, is much braver than me.

However, I was still unlucky, and as I was about to reach the tent, the captain who had arranged for Roy to stand guard stopped me.

"Hey! Whoever is that, come here. ”

My heart sank, and I thought desperately that this perverted captain wouldn't let me go with Roy

But he just put two large bundles of bandages on my hand and said, "The medical soldiers don't have enough wound gel, we have to leave some for emergency on the front line, you give these to them, let them use the bandages first." ”

I remembered the horrific scenes that Odjet had said earlier, and my heart was a little hairy. Bandages went to the makeshift field hospital.

Our hospital was built by four special trucks, which transported the wounded during the day and could be easily converted into a temporary hospital at night.

I walked into the hospital, it was very bright, there was a scream behind the curtain in the middle, and I saw through the gap that the doctor was cutting the thigh of an unlucky man with a laser, in fact, the doctor had given him a local anesthetic, but the man still let out a terrible cry as he saw his leg being cut off.

The hospital was still very cramped compared to so many wounded, the heavy wounded were lying on the stretchers on both sides, the lightly wounded were sitting on the chairs on the stretchers, and many of the wounded were sitting on the ground against the wall, and the two medical soldiers were running back and forth to take care of them, and I saw that a lot of blood-stained bandages had been thrown in the bucket over there.

Our entire army is very short of medicines, not only medicines, but also everything that cannot be directly used in war, and human society has used all its productive forces on the battlefield. It occurred to me that it might be better for the Imperial decision-makers to produce a few new laser guns and give them to the new soldiers than to produce a bunch of medicines to save a wounded soldier who could no longer fight.

"Hey! This comrade-in-arms, come and do us a favor. "A medic called me out of the blue.

I went to him, and it was another operating room, and I saw a soldier lying on a bed with a round hole in the middle of his thigh, which had apparently been pierced by a laser. At this time, there was a ring of gel on his wound, which temporarily stopped the bleeding.

"That's right, there are too many wounded soldiers today, and we have run out of anesthetics. We're going to amputate him now, please help us hold him down. "The medic gave me a mission.

I clumsily put my hands on them, not knowing how to press them tighter, and the medic corrected my movements, and the other medic pressed the other half of his body.

"Ready? Be sure not to let him struggle. "The medical soldier in charge of the surgeon has already taken out the laser cutter.

I nodded solemnly to him, and the medic cut it down.

The unlucky man lying on the bed saw his thigh cut off from the root, and for a moment his expression became very dull, and then his eyes suddenly opened and his body struggled violently.

I felt a tremendous force under my hand, and I threw half of my body up and held down the man, and blood spurted out of his thigh arteries like a fountain, and the surgeon was desperately wrapped around the bandage.

There was nothing worse in my ears than the soldier's hysterical screams, and in my eyes was the hole in his thigh, and to prevent him from continuing to scream, the medic across from me came out with a free hand and shoved a roll of bandage into the soldier's mouth.

I felt the struggle lessen beneath me, and when I looked up, the soldier had passed out, and the doctor had finally blocked the fountain with a bandage.

In just a few minutes, I was sweating profusely, I didn't want to stay here any longer, and just as I was about to walk out, a hot thing was put on my hand.

It was the soldier's severed thigh with a hole in it.

"I threw this away when I went out, thank you"

I walked out of the hospital with that leg in my arms, threw it into the snow, and then I couldn't control it anymore and ran to the side and vomited.
