For the colonel's half-said words and hints, Zhou Changfeng felt that he would probably have to commend him later?

The battle of Demagi was crucial at the campaign level, but also commendable in tactics, and he was somewhat proud of his ability to achieve such a result in his first battle.

So, you can't give yourself a medal?

But then again, the Anglo-Indian army can only be regarded as a third-rate opponent, and it would be a bit of a frog to take this battle too seriously.

After leaving the garrison command and embassy, he took a tram north along Chengxian Avenue and finally arrived at the Yingtian Army General Hospital.

The location of this large-scale and well-equipped hospital is also excellent, with Xuanwu Lake to the north, Jilong Mountain to the west, and the former Shangyuan County School to the southwest.

Jilong Mountain, also known as Jiming Mountain, is the remnant of the Purple Mountain, and its eastern foot is the famous Jiming Temple, which is an ancient temple with a history of more than 1,700 years, and the incense has been vigorous and unabated, and can be called a witness of history.

As for Shangyuan County School, it became Shangyuan County No. 1 Middle School after the reform of the school system. But it's July now, and the students had been on summer vacation a few days ago.

The three-step process of registering identity, registering for a doctor, and checking into the ward is similar?

Zhou Changfeng, who was in the hospital, found that although it was called an army hospital, it was basically ordinary people as far as the eye could see.

In fact, this is also the reason for the Chongwu edict back then, and the policies that match it are working in many ways, such as the forty percent preferential treatment for military families in military hospitals.

This is actually a very outrageous policy, because the definition of "family" is much broader than that of military dependents before the circumference crosses, which only includes spouses, children, parents, and relatives who have the obligation to support them, while a family includes all siblings, grandparents, and grandparents.

These years are all big families, and a couple has several children, to say the least.

In the earliest days, this policy was probably decided on the head on the head, with vague and one-size-fits-all classifications, and within ten years from the time of service, the family was exempted from 50 percent of the benefits, and the civilian positions in the army were all covered by it.

And because the Ming Dynasty is a volunteer military service, you can choose to choose the shortest three years when signing the military contract, that is, the contract. Therefore, a large number of people choose to take advantage of this - anyway, there are many children, and if you send one to be a soldier for three years, the whole family can enjoy ten years of medical benefits.

So it stands to reason that within a few years of that time, the deficit in the financial expenditure of the military hospital exploded.

Later, this policy was refined and adjusted - 50% of the preferential exemption was reduced to 40%; After retirement, this benefit is limited to individuals and is divided into three levels according to the length of service.

As for the scope of "one family," it was retained, because the Ministry of War believed that if the scope of preferential treatment and exemption was narrowed further, it would have no effect on correcting the atmosphere.

"Look, there's another fragment here, very small."

"Didn't you find it before?"

"This one is too small, if it weren't here, I'm afraid it would have been kept forever."

After another X-ray irradiation, a middle-aged doctor and an old doctor with gray hair and beard discussed together, and then Zhou Changfeng learned that there was still a very small fragment hidden on the side of the left rib, and the small X-ray machine in the field hospital was not very accurate, and it was not found.

However, both doctors said that it was not difficult, and that the key to this operation was to "remove all the fragments accurately in one attempt", so as not to suffer a second operation in the future, and now that all the shell fragments and rib fragments have been identified, the next thing is to sprinkle water.

Interestingly, the old doctor with white hair and beard, after taking Zhou Changfeng's pulse and looking at his tongue, said that he was not full of qi and blood, and he was still a little yin deficiency and fire.

The surprised Zhou Changfeng hurriedly asked if it was serious, and the old doctor stroked his beard and smiled, and replied that he only needed to take some medicine to nourish yin in the five days he stayed in the hospital for observation, and then pay more attention to his diet in the future.

"Then I will go to prescribe and get the medicine, and when the time comes, I will hand it over to the inpatient department, and they will take care of it."

"Okay."

[Although the Ming Dynasty is now modern medicine, in fact, classical Chinese medicine also has surgery, and the Sui and Tang dynasties were the most developed time for Chinese medicine surgery. 】

Zhou Changfeng was hospitalized that day, and after resting peacefully in an exclusive single room, he was taken into the operating room early the next morning.

The clothes of the doctors and nurses were similar to those I had seen when I first crossed a few days ago, not white, but a very pale light green; Doctors and nurses in the operating theatre are required to wear additional grey-green surgical coats.

Lying on the operating table, a gray cloth with a round hole in the middle covered the body, and the chief surgeon talked with several people around him, and then performed anesthesia.

Up and down, left and right, Zhou Changfeng could feel that his chest and abdomen had been pricked with a total of four stitches, and then a cold cotton swab stained with boric acid was disinfected around the wiping wound.

Although he did not feel the pain under local anesthesia, the basic touch was still there, and Zhou Changfeng could even feel the sharp scalpel scratching on his skin, and the tweezers pinching the fragments and broken bones.

The shadowless light overhead is so bright that you can feel your eyes flutter even when your eyes are closed.

As a great step forward in facilitating surgery, the shadowless lamp was born in the twenties, and the Frenchman Welland invented the prototype of the shadowless lamp, which evenly arranged many plane mirrors and placed them in the center with a bulb, and the whole was funnel-shaped; Today, more than ten years later, the second-generation shadowless lamp has been put into use after preliminary improvement, such as the new domestic shadowless lamp that has just left the factory on Zhou Changfeng's body.

The chief surgeon seemed to be at ease, chatting while moving his hands.

He asked intently, "Anyway, how did you come back alone?" What about your soldiers? ”

"The capacity of the air freight is limited, so they have to take the car back."

"What about the wounded?"

"The lightly wounded followed the large army, and the seriously wounded took planes to Chengdu one after another."

The Air Force deployed four squadrons of transport aircraft to deliver supplies to Lasa and Lingchi, loading cargo on the outbound journey and transporting people on the return journey.

After half an hour, after repeatedly confirming that all the small metal fragments and rib fragments had been cleaned up, the doctor began to clean the wound with Dagin's solution and boric acid, and then sutured it.

"Okay, it's done, pay attention these days, and after healing, you will be a good man again." The chief surgeon breathed a sigh of relief and said.

The operation ended, but the pain soon came.

In these years, there is a lack of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers with stronger analgesic effects, either aspirin with weak analgesic effects, or those with strong analgesic effects.

Zhou Changfeng was naturally reluctant to choose the latter, so the pain that followed after the effect of the anesthetic was over was very unbearable, and he was restless, so he could only lie on the hospital bed and barely rely on reading the newspaper to distract himself.

When he saw the second page, a medium-sized headline immediately caught his attention - "Spain Changes, Army Rebellion"

"The Times, Spain, 7 May: Since the 5th, the Spanish army and air force have been in trouble one after another, and the rebellion has spread to many parts of the country, and now it is ......."

Oh, it's July, and the time has changed slightly, but the storm on the Iberian Peninsula has arrived.
