That night, Shen Mengxi asked Zhao San'er to invite Zhang's father and a few brothers, everyone sat down, she said that she was going to be a war doctor, everyone was stunned, and then fiercely opposed. Father Zhang even slapped the table and shouted, "What medical skills do you have?" Dare to speak up to save lives? Is it a joke to go to the front? If you don't get it, you're going to lose your life! ”

"I can do surgery, I can do first aid. I have already signed up, and I will assemble and set off early tomorrow morning. ”

Father Zhang was so angry that he blew his beard, "Your mother will be angry with you if she doesn't die!" ”

"I was with my mother that day, and I had at least a fifty percent chance of surviving."

Zhang Jiaheng was furious, Huo Di got up, "Zhang Jiayu! What do you mean? ”

"It's literal."

"You want to go to the front line to find him because your father rejected Wang Shouqing's marriage proposal!" Zhang Jiaheng calmed down, sat back in his chair, and said with disdain.

"What courtship?"

"It's really pretending. The one surnamed Wang brought a bunch of things and asked the fourth child to accompany him to Baoshan to ask for relatives, don't you know? ”

"So what?" Shen Mengxi smiled, "Since the third brother usually lives with his father, then the fifth brother, this family and Ah Huan will leave it to you, the French Concession is safe, and Mr. Lin will also take care of you, you can find him if you have something, Zhao San'er will be responsible for the safety of the family." There is plenty of food in the basement, so you don't have to worry about it for a year. ”

Zhang Jiadong looked at his father and nodded helplessly to his sister.

Ah Huan didn't say anything, looking at her steadily.

"Ah Huan, mom has to do what she should do, you have grown up, you pay more attention to things at home, mom doesn't want to see a mess when she comes back."

Ah Huan, who experienced the pain of losing his father, was silent a lot, and at a young age, he saw his father's death tragically, and the impact was not small.

But in this life, people will always go through many tribulations, and time will erase all scars.

Ah Huan didn't cry, nor did she stop her, she just said softly, "You must come back!" ”

"I promise you. You also have to exercise well and study well. ”

"Good!" The two high-fived as an oath.

The Japanese army had once again gathered forces to launch an attack on Shanghai. At this time, the wolf smoke in Shanghai was everywhere, and the singing and dancing of the past no longer existed, only the sound of guns, the roar of airplanes, and the cries of the people.

The 206 field ambulance team has 17 people, five women, three of whom are nurses who volunteer to sign up, two are female middle school students, two of the twelve men are doctors, two are drivers, and the rest are college students, and the equipment is also outrageously rudimentary, only two trucks, two tents, and a few stretchers, there are many such ambulance teams in the battlefield, and most of them play a role in quickly taking the wounded who have lost their combat effectiveness from the battlefield and transporting them to the rear hospital.

A male doctor named Qian Jiabin, who returned from studying in Japan and is now working as a doctor in Union Hospital, heard that there was a shortage of doctors on the front line, so he resolutely resigned and signed up. The other is Qiao Liushun, a doctor in a private practice.

Shen Mengxi made a simple self-introduction: "My name is Zhang Jiayu, 33 years old, and I have been a surgeon for several years. ”

They were all dressed in white, with a red cross armband on their left arm, first aid kits on their backs, and crosses on the tops of trucks and tents. The white clothes were already dirty, and there were blood stains that could not be washed off, their young faces were full of exhaustion, and they expressed a simple welcome to Shen Mengxi's arrival, and several young people rushed out with stretchers, because, the sound of gunfire had already sounded in the distance,

Shen Mengxi looked around the station, this is a mountain forest stream, trucks are parked on the side of the road, not far from a hill of more than 100 meters, they are through this mountain forest, to the front line.

"Doctor Qian, how far is this from the front line?"

Dr. Qian was examining the wound of a wounded soldier and said without raising his head, "About a kilometer." ”

Shen Mengxi put the big backpack he brought in the corner of the tent, put on a mask and gloves, and immediately went to work. Nurse Luo Adi was very curious about her mask and gloves. The first stretcher came in, the wounded man was shot in the abdomen, lost too much blood, and was already unconscious, and the second stretcher also came in, with multiple bomb shrapnel all over his body, and the flesh and blood were blurred. The third station, the fourth station, they put the wounded on the temporary hospital bed, and quickly returned to the front line, Shen Mengxi was stunned for a moment, and Dr. Qian shouted, "What are you stupid?" Hurry up and rescue it! ”

Shen Mengxi immediately came back to his senses, and with the assistance of Luo Adi, he cleaned up the shrapnel for the wounded, this is a very young soldier, some of the shrapnel is embedded in the bones, and some are driven into the body, they quickly clean the shrapnel, stop the bleeding and treat the wounds, and send a car of the wounded back to the rear hospital for surgery.

In the past, when I was a barefoot doctor on the farm, the most common treatment was the cutting and scratching of farm tools, the strangulation of machines, and now all of them are gunshot wounds.

There was no time to be idle, and it was not until the evening that he had a little leisure, Shen Mengxi's legs were stiff, and his waist was extremely sore. The warhead she surgically removed contained half a white tray, and she worked straight for eight hours without lunch.

At first, he carefully treated each injury to prevent infection, but later he didn't care about it at all, treating which one was seriously injured first, and how to save his life was the first to come, and the tent and the truck were full of wails and curses. She forced herself to shut down compassion and only deal with the injuries rationally and mechanically, otherwise she would not be able to persevere at all because of the mental and physical pain and fatigue at the same time.

Shen Mengxi took off her gloves, took out a chocolate pie from her pocket, and stuffed it into her mouth indiscriminately. Shen Mengxi took out a piece and gave it to him, but when he was rejected, Shen Mengxi smiled and gave it to Luo Adi.

When it was completely dark, the wounded soldiers were all pulled away, the trucks brought food, and a dozen people sat down to eat.

The Nationalist Government has always claimed that military spending is tight, and the food is really not good, the steamed buns and broth are cold, and the broth only shows that there are a few pieces of fat floating in it, and the stir-fried vegetables are vegetarian. With such a large amount of physical exertion in a day, this caloric supply is far from enough.

None of the others were heterochromatic, eating quietly, and seemed to have gotten used to it.

Shen Mengxi didn't speak, and ate silently.

At night, Shen Mengxi hurried up to sleep, tomorrow was another hard battle, she didn't even have time to think about Ah Huan, just glanced at the stars, got into the sleeping bag, and fell asleep in seconds.

On the fourth day, two Japanese planes flew over and dropped several bombs, one of which landed on a truck, which exploded instantly. One fell directly near the medical tent, and Qiao Liushun, who was operating inside, was seriously injured, many wounded people died directly, and two nurses were also killed and injured.

Shen Mengxi was undergoing surgery in another tent, knowing that the bomb was falling, his subordinates still did not dare to stop, and quickly took out the bullet in the chest of the wounded soldier and quickly stitched it up. and Luo Adi worked together to carry the postoperative wounded off the operating table, and she devoted herself to the work of rescuing Qiao Liushun. Luo Adi hugged the dead nurse and cried, Qian Jiabin also finished the operation at hand, came to help, scolded Luo Adi to stop, hurry up the rescue, and wait for the truck to send the wounded soldiers back, they loaded Qiao Liushun and the wounded into the truck and quickly returned to the rear.

Several people scattered and sat under the tree, not daring to enter the tent again, Luo Adi cried and scolded the Japanese army for beating even those with red cross signs, while sorting out the relics of her little nurse sister.

When the truck came again, the truckload that was pulled away was full of corpses.

All members of the ambulance team were in a state of low spirits. When the sky is full of stars and there is no sound of gunfire, it is a good night to ignore the smell of gunpowder and blood on the tip of your nose. But death is everywhere, and no one knows when the battle will start again, or whose chest will be hit by a stray bullet.

Dr. Qian didn't say a word, just counted the number of people, their team of 18 people, excluding the dead and wounded, only 13 people remained, if there were no volunteers to join, they would have worked harder.

Luo Adi began to wash gauze, bed sheets, and surgical instruments by the stream again. A few college students scrubbed the blood stains on the stretcher and replenished the supplies for the medical kit.

The gunfire only stopped for half an hour, and then there were gunshots in the distance, Shen Mengxi sat up, and everyone else came. It seems that another round of offensive has begun. Tonight's gunfire was particularly intense, and there were loud explosions, which continued one after another, and did not gradually stop until dawn. The battle was extremely tragic, and although the 19th Route Army held its position, most of the casualties were lost.

All rushed to the front. There are craters everywhere, there are corpses everywhere, Shen Mengxi picked up a gun, stepped on the blood, and walked forward, a series of Japanese tanks were blown up, emitting black smoke, the Chinese fortifications were also destroyed, countless Chinese and Japanese soldiers' corpses were mixed together, this is a Shura field, Shen Mengxi's heart tightened, her throat choked, she shouted loudly, is there anyone? Is anyone alive?

A gunshot rang out, a bullet flew past her ear, Shen Mengxi quickly turned around, a Japanese soldier's muzzle was smoking, the person had shrunk to the ground, probably with the last bit of strength to pull the trigger, Shen Mengxi gave him two shots, and hatefully held a rifle to the Japanese soldier to replenish the gun, Qian Jiabin shouted, "You don't save people, what are you doing?" ”

"Shut up!" Shen Mengxi roared.

She found a Chinese soldier with a bloody head and a corpse leaning against him, still holding a rifle in his hand, Shen Mengxi shouted, "I'm a doctor!" Your name number! ”

"Zhang Fengxiang, 2nd Battalion, 156th Brigade, 78th Division of the Nineteenth Route Army."

When he got closer, his eyes were blown up, and he was still asking, "How long have I been dizzy?" Did they retreat? ”

"They retreated." Shen Mengxi's eyes were moist, and he tried his best to hold back, put away his gun, and walked over. Carrying the soldiers, stepping through the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, he walked towards the ambulance team.

Zhang Fengxiang knew that she was a woman, and refused to let her carry it, and was shouted by Shen Mengxi, "Shut up!" Drink it, but he always stretched his body, stalked his neck, and was yelled at again, "Lying on his stomach!" Only then did he honestly lie on Shen Mengxi's shoulder.

Walking fifty meters, Shen Mengxi was exhausted, and his physical strength was overdrawn these days, and Shen Mengxi lost a lot of weight. Carrying a young man of more than 100 pounds, her feet began to tremble.

Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang rushed over with a stretcher and carried Zhang Fengxiang onto the stretcher.

As soon as his feet were soft, Shen Mengxi fell to the ground, got up and looked at the young Japanese soldier not far away, he also stared at his eyes without looking away, his body was already stiff, Shen Mengxi, who was covered in blood, retched, got up, and heard someone in the distance shouting in a tentative tone, "Jiayu!" ”

She wiped away the overflowing tears and turned around, only to see Wang Shouqing poking his head forward, looking at her in disbelief.

"It's me!" She smiled and waved. Follow the stretcher.
