Just as Wang Haitao was talking to these old subordinates, a guard came in to report that Tang Longzai, the deputy commander of the 90th Division, had escorted a large number of ordnance materials to Anqing City, and now the deputy division commander Tang was waiting for orders outside the headquarters. Wang Haitao was stunned for a moment, and said to the guard: "Go and ask Deputy Division Commander Tang to come here." Not long after the guard went out, he led Tang Longzai to this small conference room.

Tang Longzai came in and saw that Tang Yikuan and several regiment commanders of the 271st Brigade were there, and when he came to his mouth, he swallowed back a "brother-in-law" alive, and said loudly after saluting: "Report to the military seat, Tang Longzai, the commander of the 272nd Brigade of the 90th Division, was ordered to escort the ordnance materials sent by Longzhou County, and ask the military seat to give instructions." ”

Wang Haitao looked at Tang Longzai in front of him with satisfaction, first returned a military salute, and then said: "It's all my own people, I don't need so much etiquette, how could I send you to escort the supplies?" Tang Longzai relaxed and replied: "Brother-in-law, I asked for the escort materials myself, I want to see my brother-in-law and my sister." Tang Yikuan smiled and continued: "I'm afraid there is still our Tang Brigade Commander's crush, right?"

Tang Yikuan's words caused a burst of laughter from several group leaders, and Tang Longzai glared at Tang Yikuan with a little blush. Wang Haitao also said with a smile on his face: "Okay, it's nothing, is it normal for people." Long Zai, you go to see your sister and Tian Yu first, they should be in the field hospital, I will ask the guards to take you over. I'll go to you after I've taken care of the supplies. ”

Tang Longzai said: "Okay, I'll go see my sister first." Here's the list of supplies. After saying that, he handed over a stack of material lists to Wang Haitao, turned around and ran. Wang Haitao took the list and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a while, Wang Haitao saw that the list actually said "200 boxes of penicillin", and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy. Hurriedly asked the guards to call the person in charge from Longzhou.

After the person in charge from Longzhou came in, he saluted Wang Haitao and said: "Good military seat! Tang Yuan, who is lowly and lowly, has been ordered to escort ordnance and materials here, and please accept the military seat." "This Tang Yuan is Tang Renli's nephew, and he also serves in the logistics department of Longzhou County, and he saw him when Wang Haitao returned to Longzhou last time. Wang Haitao said affectionately: "Tang Yuan, there are no outsiders here, don't be restrained, come and sit down first." ”

After Tang Yuan sat down, Wang Haitao asked: "Tang Yuan, my father-in-law Tang Lao is okay, is he okay? This penicillin was produced so quickly, have you tried it?" Tang Yuan replied: "Back to the military seat, Tang Lao is all right, now he is the director of the pharmaceutical factory, and he is in charge of hundreds of people in the pharmaceutical factory, and he is very busy every day." Penicillin was successfully trial-produced a year ago, and after the trial, it was improved, and then it was tried in Longzhou Hospital for half a year, and the effect was very good, so Director Tang decided to produce it in large quantities. This is a batch that has just been produced, and Director Tang knows that the military seat is in urgent need of medicines, so he asked me to escort a batch to the military seat for use. ”

In the storage ring on Wang Haitao's body, penicillin has also been used up, and now many of the wounded soldiers have died due to wound infection, Wang Haitao is also worried about this matter, this batch of penicillin is a charcoal in the snow, and it is just the right time. Historically, at the beginning of 39, penicillin [penicillin] was still in the experimental stage, and it was not until 1942 that it was mass-produced by American enterprises. It was not until 1944 that the first penicillin was produced in China. And Wang Haitao used the penicillin dry powder he brought to successfully develop penicillin through the laboratory and has begun to produce it in large quantities, so that so many soldiers will no longer die due to wound infection.

Among the ordnance sent by Longzhou, imitation semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and light and heavy machine guns accounted for half, and there were also many mortars of various calibers, and the rest were bullets and shells. The convoy carrying ordnance was carried by a convoy of 40 six-wheeled trucks, escorted by an armed guard battalion. Fortunately, thanks to the special pass issued by the Chongqing High Command, I was able to reach it smoothly along the way.

Wang Haitao asked the logistics department of the military department to count the ordnance materials and put them in storage, while the second car of penicillin was personally sent to the field hospital. Seeing that Wang Haitao had something to deal with, Tang Yikuan and the others said goodbye first, and before leaving, Wang Haitao asked Tang Yikuan's 271st Brigade to be ready for battle, ready to reinforce Huaiyuan's 277th Brigade at any time.

When Wang Haitao and a team of guards led by Tangshan Leopard escorted two truckloads of penicillin to the field hospital, the director of the field hospital was also preparing to go to Wang Haitao. The director of the field hospital was a surgeon named Wang Chaosheng who Wang Haitao brought back from the Jurong base. Dean Wang was looking for Wang Haitao for medicine, and when he saw Wang Haitao coming, he hurriedly said, "Commander Wang, you came just in time, and I was about to go to you." You have to find a way to get some anti-inflammatory drugs, many soldiers have infected wounds, and without anti-inflammatory drugs, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive. ”

Wang Haitao replied: "Dean Wang, didn't I just send you medicine? You see, these two truckloads are penicillin, which we produced in Longzhou, and I rushed to send it to you as soon as I arrived in Anqing." Wang Chaosheng had used penicillin when he was in Longzhou Hospital and knew very well the efficacy of penicillin. Therefore, after listening to Wang Haitao's words, he was overjoyed and said: "That's great, these soldiers are saved now! Quickly, unload the medicine and send it to the warehouse." Commander Wang, then I won't accompany you. ”

Wang Haitao still appreciates Wang Chaosheng's work attitude, and he will not be unhappy because he does not accompany him. Wang Haitao asked Tangshan Leopard to command the soldiers to obey Dean Wang's command to unload the car, and he walked to the ward. Zhang Lingfu was also in the ward at this time, a piece of shrapnel hit the crook of his leg, shattering the kneecap, and now the wound has been infected, the whole person has a high fever, and the two soldiers who took care of him next to him turned around in a hurry, and there was nothing they could do.

After Wang Haitao walked into Zhang Lingfu's ward, the two soldiers said to Wang Haitao with red eyes as if they had seen a savior: "Junzuo, find a way to save our Tuanzuo, Tuanzuo has been burning for two days." Wang Haitao walked to Zhang Lingfu's bedside, looked at Zhang Lingfu, whose face was red and his lips were white, and said, "Don't worry, I have already sent penicillin, and your head of the regiment will soon have medicine available." After saying this, Wang Haitao muttered in a low voice: "It seems that your fate is really such a catastrophe." ”

After seeing the wounded, Wang Haitao came to Fenggu again, during this period of continuous fierce fighting, the field hospital was also a large number of wounded, Fenggu and Tian Yu always helped in the hospital. Feng Gu works as a nurse, while Tian Yu also serves as an assistant doctor. Feng Gu and Tian Yu's work in the hospital touched all the wounded. After all, one of these two is the wife of the military seat, and the other is the quasi-wife of Tang Longzai.

Feng Gu was busy changing the dressing of the wounded in the ward, and the soldier was looking at Feng Gu with grateful eyes. Seeing that Aunt Feng was concentrating on her work, Wang Haitao didn't go in to scratch her, and left the ward silently. Wang Haitao originally wanted to go to Longzai, but after thinking about it, it was not easy for Longzai to see Tian Yu once, so he still didn't want to scratch them. Thinking of this, Wang Haitao quietly left the hospital, and on the way back to the headquarters, Wang Haitao was still thinking about waiting for the battle to be over, and finding a time to handle the marriage of Long Tsai and Tian Yu.

As soon as they returned to the headquarters, Su Zuxin and Zhao Zhongwu were waiting for Wang Haitao at the headquarters, and even Yang Jie, the commander of the 168th Division, also came to the headquarters. When Su Zuxin saw Wang Haitao, he said: "Junzuo, the 91st Division has called urgently, asking for reinforcements. With that, he handed over a telegram. Wang Haitao took the telegram and read it at a glance, and then walked to the large map in the room with a solemn face.

After the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was attacked in front of Jinzhai County and Fujin Mountain in Yeji, the division commander Chang Nachengyi decided not to divide his troops, but to attack Fujin Mountain in Yeji Town in one place, leaving only a brigade of troops here in Jinzhai County to contain the defenders of Jinzhai County. With the help of aircraft and artillery, Yeji Town bore the brunt of the attack and became the main target of the Japanese attack.

Yeji Town is not in the key point of the Shangliu Highway, and Ma Bingxiang, the brigade commander of the 274th Brigade, did not pay much attention to Yeji Town, and only put a brigade guard battalion here, no matter how well equipped a battalion is, it cannot withstand the attack of a division of the Japanese army, so Yeji Town was lost after only one day of defense, and only about 100 officers and soldiers of a guard battalion were withdrawn, and the rest of the soldiers were sacrificed on the position.

After capturing Yeji Town, Jiu Nacheng set up the headquarters of the division in Yeji Town, mobilized two brigades under his command, and launched a fierce attack on the Fujin Mountain position in turn under the cover of aircraft and artillery. The repeated attacks caused serious damage to both sides, and the Japanese suffered a great loss in comparison. Just when the 18th Division could not attack, the 106th Division arrived, the two divisions and regiments combined forces, the 274th Brigade was a little unable to parry, the 273rd Brigade in Jinzhai County just wanted to go out of the city to support the 274th Brigade, but did not expect to be ambushed by the Japanese army, lost hundreds of people and retreated to Jinzhai County.

At this time, Guo Rudong, the commander of the 91st Division, couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly called the military headquarters for help. Wang Haitao stood in front of the map, thinking about which force should be sent to reinforce, the Japanese army used two divisions in Jinzhai, even if it was two B divisions, they had lost a lot of troops these days, but there were still more than 20,000 people in total, and it would not work at all if there were fewer people sent.

The closest to Jinzhai County is the 92nd Division, but the 92nd Division has only finished a battle, although the losses are not large, but after the division of troops to rescue, the guards here in Yuexi are a little weaker. Just when Wang Haitao was thinking, Yang Jie, the commander of the newly formed 168th Division, spoke: "Commander, let our division go to reinforce Jinzhai." ”

Yang Jie's voice alarmed Wang Haitao, Wang Haitao glanced back at Yang Jie and shook his head slowly. Yang Jie hurriedly said: "Commander, send our division, even if our division runs out, it will complete the task." Wang Haitao spoke: "Division Commander Yang, the Japanese army has two divisions in Jinzhai, not to mention more than 20,000 people. Moreover, your division has just finished training, and your division may lose a lot in this vicious battle. ”

Yang Jie replied: "Commander, we don't plan to go back alive when we leave Guizhou, and we won't come if we are afraid of death." Besides, the commander has nothing to say to our division these days, there is food and drink, and the equipment has been changed into good guys, so that if you don't have to fight with little Japan again, I am sorry for the fathers and elders in my hometown, and I am sorry for the commander's preferential treatment. ”
