Chapter 49: Life-Saving Chinese Herbs

The military doctor knew that Xingliang's injury was so serious, and if the infection was not effectively controlled, his life would be in danger, but penicillin, a western medicine necessary for anti-infection, has always been in short supply, even if you have money, you won't even sell it in a few nearby counties.

Wang Xing heard that he checked the pulse of the younger brother, saying that the heat poison after the injury was still on the surface, and if it was not controlled, it would be transmitted to the inside, and once it entered the internal organs, it would be a big trouble.

Since penicillin can't be bought, let's take Chinese medicine.

In fact, when he encountered such a gunshot wound, even if he was listening, he didn't have much experience, and his own brother was injured, so he couldn't help but panic. I'm afraid that if the traditional Chinese medicine doesn't work, it will delay Xingliang's treatment.

After the doctor of the Eighth Route Army said that there was no way, he felt that he could not wait any longer.

A little contemplation prescribes as follows:

Honeysuckle, angelica, peony, burnt frankincense

Myrrh tangerine peel pangolin

Parsnip angelica gourd and dice

Dandelion, skullcap, notoginseng and other more than 20 flavored medicines

It still uses the overall dialectical concept of traditional Chinese medicine to give the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, activating blood and dissolving stasis and dissipating cold. Among them, Panax notoginseng does not move blood, dissolves stasis without leaving traces, and is a herb that is used more in the trauma department.

Because of all wounds, bleeding will cause the presence of vein congestion.

After the prescription was prescribed, it was immediately arranged for the soldiers to run to the pharmacy in Bada Bowl Village behind the mountain in Jingdi Village to grab medicine.

The leader of the Eighth Route Army was a battalion commander, surnamed Chen, and Mu Dongwei learned from him that the task their troops received this time was to delay the Japanese army's intention to move south to Xuzhou to encircle the Kuomintang Front Army, and also for the beginning of the Kuomintang and Communist Party's joint resistance against Japan, the provincial party committee assigned a battalion of his, plus the special operation brigade directly under the province led by Wang Xingliang, to block the Japanese army from Tai'an southward Ono Zuo 2nd Wing.

In this blocking battle, the Eighth Route Army occupied a favorable terrain, taking advantage of the Japanese army's eagerness to move south, and dragged this wing to the death, so that they finally had to abandon this shortcut road and go around it.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the Japanese army's bypass will take more than 30 hours in many places, which has relieved the tremendous pressure on our army in the Battle of Xuzhou.

At the critical moment, it had to be Xingliang's special operations group, which blew up two artillery positions of the Japanese army.

In the various blocking battlefields of the Battle of Xuzhou, it was extremely difficult, among which the Sichuan Army Wang Mingzhang Department stationed in Tengzhou, more than 4,000 people, successfully blocked the Japanese army for a week, a Sichuan army division was almost wiped out, and the lieutenant general and division commander Wang Mingzhang died heroically.

The 114th Division of the 51st Army fought fiercely with the Japanese army at the Wangzhuang position, fighting back and forth for the position, and after several bloody battles, the 114th Division suffered more than 2,000 casualties. General Zhang Zizhong led the 59th Army to block the Japanese army on the front line of Mengcheng in the Huaihe River Valley. He also launched a large-scale counteroffensive against the Japanese army at the Fire Temple, completely disrupting the Japanese army's vain plan to encircle our army.

And the Old Demon Cave Resistance Battle is only one part of the large-scale blocking around the perimeter.

In this battle, which was originally called the Battle of Xuzhou and later known as the "Battle of Taierzhuang" in history, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army played a key role in cooperating with the Kuomintang army's anti-Japanese operations.

When it was almost dark, the soldiers grabbed the medicine prescribed by Xing Ting, and Holly immediately lit a fire to decoction the medicine and fed it to Xing Liang, and in the second half of the night, Xing Ting's high fever had already gone down.

None of the family went to sleep, and Lao Liu Xin didn't eat dinner, so he sat in front of the window and looked at his unconscious little son, Xinglan also dragged his injured leg and waited for his little brother to wake up.

After the high fever subsided, Wang Xingliang quickly woke up, he opened his eyes with difficulty, saw his father Xinglan and other family members, and asked in a weak voice: Am I dreaming or is I dead?

"What nonsense are you talking about, bear child", seeing that his youngest son woke up, Lao Liuxin cried with joy, wiping his tears while scolding Wang Xingliang.

"Dad, brothers, are you really you"?

After asking, he saw his eldest brother Xinglan and the gauze bandaged on his legs.

"I remember, after we blew up the Japanese artillery position, I was wounded, and my eldest brother went over to save me."

"If you remember it, it's fine."

Seeing his younger brother suffering from this sin, Xinglan Xing also shed tears of heartache when he heard it.

"Sister-in-law, I'm hungry"!

Xing listened to his sister-in-law Holly and shouted hunger.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll do it for you right away".

Mu Dongqing immediately ran to the pot house outside, and after a while, a bowl of hot wormwood poached eggs was brought to Wang Xingliang.

Xingliang still didn't dare to move by himself, so his sister-in-law Holly fed him spoonful by spoonful.

Wild wormwood has a very good detoxification effect of Fuyang, and it is widely used in rural areas. Although from the perspective of the four qi and five flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, it is not very suitable for Xingliang to take wormwood poached eggs during this period, but Xingting grew up in Jingdi Village since he was a child, and knew that this was a method passed down from generation to generation, so his mouth moved and he didn't say anything.

Mu Dongwei and Yang Chun also stayed here, and when Xingliang heard about the two leaders transfusing blood for himself, he was moved and didn't know what to say.

After Wang Xingliang, who had eaten wormwood poached eggs, drank two large bowls of boiled water, and was talking to everyone about this, Xinglan asked Aren't you in the Northeast Army, why are you in the Eighth Route Army now?

After asking, there was no squeak in Xingliang for a long time, and when I looked again, the little fifth brother had already fallen asleep quietly. The corners of his mouth were raised, and with a happy smile on his face, he snored.

After suffering this life and death disaster, he felt better now, and after eating a big bowl of wormwood poached eggs, he fell asleep.

Seeing that Wang Xingliang finally passed the life and death pass, the people present were relieved and went back to rest.

At this time, the rooster crows for the third time, and the sky is almost dawn!

Xingliang woke up early the next morning and found that his father was sitting at the head of the bed and fell asleep, and he understood that his father had not slept all night.

Hearing the faint sound of Xingliang waking up, Lao Liuxin opened his eyes and woke up.

"Why am I still asleep when I'm old?"

His voice was full of self-reproach.

"How's it going, where do you still feel right now?"

He looked at his son lovingly and asked softly.

"Don't worry, Dad, the two leaders gave me so much blood, plus I drank the decoction prescribed to me by the third brother, am I fine now?

Speaking of the arm outside, he moved a little to show his father that he was fine, but then gritted his teeth and grinned, which was a move that involved the wound and hurt.

"You bear child, who made you move? Lie down!

Dad scolded him again, and Xingliang grinned.

After a while, everyone got up, and the first thing was to come over to see Xingliang, after the military doctor and Xingting of the Eighth Route Army had seen it separately, the two looked at each other and smiled heartily, only then did they make sure that Xingliang was fine.

"This Chinese herbal medicine is too useful, Brother Ting, you take the time to teach me, our army is too short of medicine, sometimes I see that my comrades are injured but I have no medicine to treat them, you don't know how sad I am."

The military doctor looked at Xingting with a look of admiration.

"That's fine, I'll teach you now".

Xingting dragged the medic out there.

The traffic officer came with the news that Battalion Commander Zhou and Xingliang's troops were resting in place, waiting for the order to act.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Battalion Commander Zhou selected several cadres with high military and combat qualities to train the Eighth District Detachment in Jingdi Village.

Wang Xingting is also using this time to teach this military doctor some practical prescriptions as much as possible.

Learning Chinese medicine is a kung fu bag, it is impossible to learn it in a short time, he can only pick up bruises and broken skin and bones, for the simple and practical methods of the army, one teaches seriously, one understands the magic of Chinese medicine, and the military doctor teaches some basic knowledge of Western medicine, and the two learn from each other or cooperate with each other.

It is implied in the book that after many years in the past, this little military doctor has become a national famous old Chinese medicine expert, which is a later story.

Lao Liuxin and Xinglan accompanied Wang Xingliang, Xinglan once again asked how Xingliang went from the Northeast Army to join the revolution, this time Xingliang did not fall asleep, and he slowly talked about this tortuous and shameful transformation process to his father and eldest brother.

"It all started with Chiang Kai-shek's telegram......
