Chapter 7 National Northwest Agricultural College and National Northwest Medical College

When Huang He was carried back to the room by his own guards in a daze, there was a big change in the National Northwest Agricultural College, which was far away in martial arts.

It is a university located on the Loess Plateau, and it has an imposing seven-story teaching building.

It is topped with a running water tower for easy access to water, and even a state-of-the-art heating system has been installed in each classroom.

With such luxurious and functional facilities, it definitely deserves the title of first floor in the relatively poor Great Northwest. Even Chang'an, the historic provincial governor, does not have a single modern building that can compete with it.

What was supposed to be a sea of knowledge for students is now being harassed by war.

Not only are the walls of the school building full of bullet holes, but even the campus has had to build several bomb shelters with extremely large capacity due to the pressure of the war.

Due to the fact that Sinoon was far from the city and was located in the large rear, and had relatively good air defense.

Because of the above-mentioned advantages, the bald head temporarily requisitioned the school three years ago and held a "secret" military meeting in the school building.

At that time, the scene was not small, and the military and political chiefs at and above the division level in the six northern theaters gathered together.

As everyone knows, the intelligence network and secrecy work of preserved fruit are very strained.

The level of secrecy of that meeting seemed to be very high, but it could not be concealed from the various spies of the devils, which led to the school repeatedly attracting the crazy bombing of the North China Army Airlines.

It was particularly serious last August, when the Shinozuka boys' soccer team sent 24 97 bombs and incendiary bombs on the school in two batches.

The northwest corner of the roof of the teaching building was directly blown up, and the auditorium and school building were also damaged to varying degrees.

But even if the conditions were difficult, the teachers and students did not give up the pursuit of knowledge, and they still persevered in their studies under the beacon fire.

Fortunately, there is no possibility of something similar happening again, after all, the army aviation in North China has been defeated by the 1st Air Division.

The devils knew that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Air Force was in the border area, and the enemy's bombers had long lost the courage to enter Shaanxi.

June 2 at two a.m., Library.

As one of the best of the five national northwest schools, Xinong has an old diesel generator, which can be used for lighting and pumping electricity throughout the hospital. It's just that the generator has a high load and low voltage, so the indoor lighting is always unstable.

It's late at night, and it's supposed to be the time when everything is silent and falling asleep, but there are still many people coming to the library, soaking up the knowledge in the book every second.

After all, the seats in the room are limited, and the students can only spontaneously split the self-study time, and each wave has a fixed reading time.

"Dada-da-da!"

Just as dozens of students were reading at night, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor.

The sudden noise caused everyone to frown in dissatisfaction, and the librarian even got up straight from his seat.

He is ready to personally remind the new students to be quiet and not to disturb the learning environment of others. But who knew that the other party's body was very athletic, and with a graceful turn, he rushed into the library from his left side.

"Come and see! Big event! Something big is happening! โ€œ

"The little devils who originally occupied Shanxi were completely annihilated, and even the commander of their First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio, died in Taiyuan! There is also a general's knife on the picture of the newspaper! Definitely big news with conclusive evidence! โ€

"The Eighth Route Army is really good! Another successful victory! โ€

The person who broke into the library late at night was a student in his twenties, who stood on the table and excitedly waved the newspaper in his hand, and his whole face looked flushed and very excited.

At the same time, cheers could be faintly heard from all directions in the school.

After hearing the shocking battle report, everyone put down the book in their hands for the first time and gathered around excitedly.

Everyone is not very particular about dressing, and there are all kinds of tunics, student suits, long coats, and local suits here. With the students who stood on a high place and read the newspaper aloud, everything seemed to return to the streets of Beiping in 1935.

"Well done! Regain the lost land, Glory Ancestor! โ€

"I have long said that the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is much stronger than that of the Preserved Fruit Army. Troops with ideals and beliefs will definitely be invincible! โ€

"Personally, I don't think we can just sit back in school and wait for victory! You have to do what you can! Every Chinese has the responsibility to fight against invaders, and everyone must contribute their own strength! โ€

The National Northwest Agricultural College, founded during the war-torn years, was not a paradise from the beginning.

College students who are well-read and pay attention to current affairs have a broader vision than ordinary people, and their thinking is relatively advanced. Many of them were dissatisfied with the rule of the candied fruit, and some of the older ones had participated in the student movement six years earlier.

The people have a very high impression of the Eighth Route Army, which is in the limelight, and some young people from North China and Northeast China are eager to find a way to go to the border areas to join the army now, and immediately shed their blood for the motherland.

After hearing their classmates' proposals, several students from Henan immediately stood up from the crowd.

"Medium! I love to hear that! โ€

"Three years ago, in the spring, I wanted to join the Eighth Route Army! It's a pity that there was a minor brother to take care of at that time, and that gentleman refused to take me away alive or dead! โ€

"My brother is now eighteen years old! The elders of the clan have all died in the war! Now I can be my own master! โ€

"Even if I don't let me go to the front line, I will go to Mud Bay to do construction! Students of the Department of Animal Husbandry go to raise livestock and poultry, and no one can find fault with their professional counterparts! โ€

As early as three years ago, the arms organizer was invited by Professor Xue Yu to come to Xinong to give a report on current affairs.

At that time, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of all the teachers and students in the school was very high, and almost half of them wanted to go to the border area to contribute their own strength.

Considering that the students are the future of the country, he only took with him only a few people who were recommended by the professors and passed the assessment.

Today's National Northwest Agricultural College is established by the Department of Animal Husbandry of Henan University, the Northwest Agricultural College and the Agricultural College of Northwest Associated University.

After hearing the news that Shanxi had been recovered by the Eighth Route Army, the students in Henan Province and North China suddenly couldn't sit still.

As a student of the College of Agriculture, the former naturally knew the damage of the Huayuankou God of War to his hometown.

In the past two years, they have often met to discuss and come up with a terrible scenario based on the available information and data.

Drought can strike at any time.

Instead of relying on the blood-sucking preserved fruit to help the disaster, it is better to try to save yourself while the disaster is not yet coming.

Applying to join the Eighth Route Army is definitely the best choice at this stage. The opposing forces are notoriously people-oriented, and they are very concerned about the life and death of the common people.

If we can use our knowledge to increase the grain production in each base area as much as possible, it can also be a way to rescue our hometowns.

As long as there is enough food stored in the granary, the villagers have a better chance of survival.

The idea of the latter is simpler, Jin Province has been recovered, will the whole of North China be far away?

After the war, the primary task of the Eighth Route Army was definitely to settle fields, build infrastructure and recuperate, and the discipline of Xinong included one of the ten departments, which was the most complete among the domestic higher agricultural colleges.

As long as students can enter Shanxi, they can definitely show their strengths and make great achievements.

Just as everyone was discussing word by word, Mr. Zhou Bomin, president of the National Northwest Agricultural College, walked into the library, and the room became silent in an instant.

"I heard everything I just said. Your national salvation sentiment is so enthusiastic that you think that now is not the time to focus on studying? Wrong! Miss by a mile! โ€

"Storming a city with artillery rifles is something that all invaders do. But now that the enemy is using aircraft bombs to destroy our cultural institutions, the nature of the matter has completely changed. โ€

"The Japanese not only want to destroy their country, but also to destroy our species. I want the culture of 40,000,000 compatriots in China to be cut off, and our children and grandchildren will become slaves who have no way to study! If the enemy has such a vicious plan, will you give up your school of your own accord? โ€

"Giving up reading is a plan to promote the devil. Without their blows, it is directly self-destruction, and what can be done to save the country! Say what to resist the enemy! โ€

The middle-aged dean's words were deafening, as if a huge bell had been rung in front of the students. They didn't know how to refute for a moment, and there was a long silence in the library.

Looking at the young people who began to think seriously, Mr. Zhou Bomin nodded with satisfaction. He picked up the newspaper and read it again, followed by a mysterious smile.

"Alright, it's time to talk about private matters when we're done with business."

"I don't mean to stop all of you from joining the army, after all, there is no distinction between the north and the south, and there is no distinction between the old and the young, and no matter who you are, you have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war. I just hope you can calm down and think hard about whether you are fit for military life. โ€

"Today, I set a rule that only the top 100 students in the academy are eligible to participate in the assessment of the army. I'll contact you from the Central Army, and you can handle it yourself from the Eighth Route Army, anyway, you can contact Wang Huzi of the 359 Brigade. โ€

After speaking, the former director of the Provincial Department of Education waved his hand. He left the library before the students could react, leaving only the back of a man in a red shirt.

Hanzhong, National Northwestern Medical College.

Here is the Qinling Mountains in the north, the Bashan Mountains in the south, thousands of peaks and mountains, the traffic is blocked, and it has been described as a prison since ancient times.

However, during the war, such a four-way environment blocked the Japanese invasion. Compared with the bloody frontline of the Anti-Japanese War in the eastern half of the motherland, the small Hanzhong Basin can indeed be called a "paradise".

Although it is far from the war, it guarantees the safety of life to a certain extent. However, the material living conditions are extremely poor, and they are even more difficult than those of the Southwest Associated University.

Inside the school building, a childish student blew out a kerosene lamp. He cautiously looked at his surroundings against the darkness, and then whispered to his roommate:

"I heard that the Eighth Route Army had established a medical university in the southeast of Shanxi, and had also established a supporting affiliated hospital and pharmaceutical factory."

"The faculty and scientific research technology over there don't seem to be weaker than our medical school at all. It is said that there are several professors at the same level as Dean Xu Zuoxia, and I don't know where they got the experts. โ€

"I really want to go and see it, even if it's just to do it."

It has been more than a year since the decision was made to "base medical universities", and more and more senior doctors and medical doctors have joined the army one after another.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the medical system of the Eighth Route Army was gradually improved, and the reputation of that school even spread to various major war zones.

While the grassroots officers of the preserved fruit were envious, they could only scold their own chairman in their hearts.

After all, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the total number of medical personnel in preserved fruit is 22,013. Among them, there are 987 physicians, only 620 pharmacists, and the rest are nursing staff.

This means that millions of soldiers rely on these more than 1,000 doctors for treatment.

In a sense, their level of medical security is even inferior to that of the Taiping Army in the late Qing Dynasty. At least 10,000 people have a troop of 10,000 people, and they can be equipped with 43 military doctors.

What is even more uncomfortable is that in the three years from 1938 to 1941, all public schools in the Republic of China only trained a total of 1,139 graduates, and the talent reserve was seriously insufficient.

Coupled with the fact that all kinds of precious Western medicines were hoarded and resold by various immortals, soldiers who were injured on the battlefield could basically be declared dead.

After hearing his roommate's words, one of the classmates immediately showed a shocked expression. It's just that it was in the dark at this time, and no one could notice his drastic mood changes.

The dean of his own house is a ruthless person, who once obtained a doctorate in Desan, and also worked as a researcher at the local pharmacology institute.

An expert of this level is definitely a national treasure.

Even if the Eighth Route Army has developed rapidly in recent times, it is not possible to say that there are top talents, and I really don't know where the resources and connections come from.

"Is the source of the message reliable? What is the output of the pharmaceutical factory you just mentioned? โ€

"Have they published any particularly powerful papers at the moment, and have they made any technical breakthroughs?"

After two westward moves, the loss of the National Northwestern Medical College was not small. Not only have many teachers been left behind and passed away forever, but many teaching materials and equipment have been left behind.

At present, the economic state of preserved fruit is extremely poor, and there is naturally no way to subsidize major universities.

If it weren't for the professors' use of their personal connections to find a lot of precious equipment, the teaching speed of their medical school would have plummeted.

"Reliable! I'm not going to joke with you about that. โ€

"Taiyuan is my hometown, and several of our fellow villagers have been paying attention to the news over there. I heard that since the liberation of the provincial capital, the Eighth Route Army has begun to work on the transfer of schools and affiliated hospitals. โ€

"How? Why don't you consider going with us? โ€

"Huh?"

As soon as he said this, the second student immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Hanzhong is in the southwest of Shaanxi, and if you want to go to Jin Province, you have to cross the Qinling Mountains. He still remembers that painful month.

What's more, if the dean knows about defecting to the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

"Ahhh Who do you think the dean is! โ€

"He is a respected scholar and a doctor of the Chinese! That's what he started with, or I would dare to discuss this kind of thing at school? โ€

It's coming, it's coming, and so are the college students
