Chapter 219 Delivering medicine to your door!
Li Yunlong personally escorted 30 tons of medicine to the headquarters hospital, while Zhao Gang was responsible for directing the transportation of large-caliber heavy machine guns and machine gun ammunition back to Yangcun.
These 30 tons of medicine can save the lives of many wounded Eighth Route Army soldiers. Since the matter was serious, Li Yunlong naturally had to escort it personally.
Medicines are not weapons and ammunition, so there is no need to hand them over to the brigade headquarters or division headquarters first, and hand them over layer by layer.
All you need to do is give a notification afterwards.
Moreover, Li Yunlong knew that there must be many wounded people in the headquarters now, all waiting for medicine. For the wounded, time is life.
Therefore, Li Yunlong did not waste a moment. After loading all the medicines, he ordered the cavalry battalion and logistics transportation area to go to the brigade headquarters immediately.
A transport team consisting of more than 250 military horses and more than 100 mule carts formed a long queue of several hundred meters on the mountain road.
Most of these more than 100 mule carts were procured by Li Yunlong from Chen Feng, which gave Li Yunlong such strong transportation capabilities.
In addition to the mule carts of the transport team, the artillery battalion also has more than 100 mule carts specially used to transport artillery shells and mountain artillery.
Mules are usually fed concentrated feed when they have to work, and they only need to eat grass. It is much easier to raise mules than to raise military horses.
Along the way, Li Yunlong also saw militiamen carrying seriously injured people one after another, rushing toward the headquarters hospital.
Looking at the seriously wounded soldiers on stretchers with molds of flesh and blood on them, and the soldiers leading mules or horses, they couldn't help but speed up their steps.
The sooner you arrive at the headquarters hospital, the less likely the life of the injured will be in danger.
At this time, the 129th Division had not yet divided its troops, so the regiments were not too far from the division headquarters and the headquarters, and the headquarters hospital was near the headquarters.
If you ride a fast horse, you can get to the headquarters hospital from Yangcun in about half an hour.
However, the transport team moved relatively slowly, and it took more than two hours before they saw the gate of the headquarters hospital.
At this time, Li Yunlong had already taken the lead on horseback and went to inform Director Liu to organize the hospital's manpower to unload the goods as soon as possible.
At the entrance of the headquarters hospital, Li Yunlong said to the guard at the entrance: "Go and call Director Liu out, and tell me that the new regiment leader Li Yunlong is here."
Li Yunlong said while looking around.
Although the headquarters hospital is located in the hinterland of the base area, it is surrounded by a company of soldiers and three Czech light machine guns.
"yes!"
As soon as the soldier heard that the other party was a regiment commander, he turned around and walked towards the hospital.
At this time, the headquarters hospital was already overcrowded, and the people lying on the stretchers on the floor were almost all seriously injured patients waiting for surgery.
Dean Liu had just come out of the operating room, and then several nurses took out a wounded man who had been hit by a bullet in the lungs.
Although the operation was successful and the bullet in the wounded man's lung was successfully removed, the wounded man's subsequent recovery was a problem.
If symptoms of wound infection appear later, it will be troublesome.
I don’t know when Li Yunlong will be able to get the medicine?
While Dean Liu was taking a sip of water, a stretcher was hurriedly carried into the operating room.
Without enough time to rest, Director Liu was about to turn around and walk into the operating room.
Under normal circumstances, President Liu rarely performs surgeries. As the head of a hospital, he has to oversee the operation and management of the entire hospital.
But now the doctor at the headquarters hospital is already overwhelmed, and he has to go into battle himself to operate on the wounded.
"Dean, there is a group leader coming from outside. He seems to have something to do with you."
A female doctor in white washed clothes ran over and said to Dean Liu.
"Don't you see I'm busy here?"
"To add to the chaos, which group leader?"
Dean Liu frowned, turned around and walked to the operating room.
The female doctor said: "It's the one who is very good at fighting, Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment."
"Li Yunlong?"
When Dean Liu walked to the door, he paused for a moment, then turned around and trotted toward the hospital door without hesitation, without stopping at all.
"Dr. Cui, you will do this surgery..."
Dean Liu's voice came back.
The female doctor looked at Dean Liu's back and was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked towards the operating room.
"Old Li? Old Li?"
At the gate of the headquarters hospital, Director Liu's urgent shout came from far and near, and he could hear that he was very anxious.
Walking to the door, Li Yunlong's loud voice came in: "Haha...Old Liu, I'm here."
When Dean Liu ran out, Li Yunlong suddenly laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. You Liu Yidao, an old hen, turned into a duck and became the dean all of a sudden?"
When Dean Liu saw that there were only two people, Li Yunlong, the guard, and two military horses, he became very angry.
Dean Liu scolded: "Li Yunlong, you came here empty-handed? Where are the 15 tons of medicine?"
"15 tons of medicines?" Li Yunlong said in surprise, "There are no 15 tons of medicines?"
Dean Liu said anxiously: "The chief of staff told me that you have brought 15 tons of medicines. Where are the medicines? Take them out quickly. The wounded are still waiting."
Li Yunlong said: "There really are no 15 tons of medicine."
"Why did you come to the hospital without medicine?" Director Liu was speechless. "I'm busy here. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I can do an operation if I have the time."
Dean Liu didn't talk nonsense to Li Yunlong, turned around and walked back to the hospital.
I feel a little disappointed in my heart, not that I am disappointed with Li Yunlong.
It's the kind of disappointment where you see great hope, but in the end find it's all in vain, and feel empty in your heart.
"Old Liu, what are you so anxious about?"
Li Yunlong crossed his arms and said calmly: "I have brought medicine, but it is not 15 tons, but 30 tons of medicine."
As soon as Dean Liu reached the door of the hospital, he turned a corner and walked quickly to Li Yunlong. His tone was urgent: "Old Li, what did you just say? Where are the 30 tons of medicine?"
"When there is medicine, we are Lao Li; when there is no medicine, we are Li Yunlong."
Li Yunlong took out the list handed to him by Chen Feng from his pocket, but tore off the 180 large-caliber heavy machine guns and 180,000 rounds of ammunition.
He handed the list to Dean Liu and said, "This is a list of 30 tons of medicines. All the types and quantities of medicines are on it."
Dean Liu glanced at the list and was stunned, his eyes almost falling.
Almost all the items on the list are medicines and medical equipment that the headquarters hospital is currently in urgent need of.
"penicillin?"
"What kind of medicine is this? Why haven't you heard of it before?"
Dean Liu looked at Li Yunlong with a confused tone.
Li Yunlong came over to take a look and said: "Isn't it written on it, anti-inflammatory drugs, and the fucking dean doesn't even know this?"
Penicillin, also known as penicillin, was discovered in 1928, began clinical use in 1940, was mass-produced in 1942, and was used by the military only in 1943.
It was used on a large scale in the late Anti-Japanese War, but at that time, penicillin was already as valuable as gold.
A box of penicillin can fetch sky-high prices on the black market.
However, it was only late 1940, and Dean Liu had never heard of or seen the drug penicillin.
"Lao Li, where are the 30 tons of medicine?"
Dean Liu shook his head and asked the question he was most concerned about.
"It's almost here." Li Yunlong said, "Hurry up and organize your hospital's manpower to prepare to collect the medicine."
"There are not enough doctors and nurses. How can I find more people now?"
Dean Liu looked several hundred meters away and saw that there was indeed a horse transport team heading this way. The horses seemed to be carrying a lot of things on their backs.
This should be Li Yunlong's transportation team. Dean Liu had an expression of hope and surprise on his face.
More than ten minutes later, the leading unit of the transport team had arrived at the entrance of the hospital and began unloading, while the end of the transport team was still a few hundred meters away.
Li Yunlong chuckled and said: "30 tons of medicines, all of which are foreign goods. I know you are short of medicines here, so I got them specially for you. How about it, Old Liu? We, Old Li, are pretty good to you, right?"
At this time, Dean Liu's eyes almost popped out of his head, and his face had a look of getting rich.
Some medical staff returning from cleaning the bandages were wide-eyed when they saw this scene.
"Not bad, not bad." Dean Liu looked satisfied, "I'll treat you to a drink another day."
"I'm short of manpower now. Please ask your soldiers to help move all the medicines to the hospital."
A full 30 tons of medical drugs are not only enough for the headquarters hospital, but can also be used to support field hospitals in other military regions.
With this batch of medicines, we can save many soldiers and preserve our vitality for the war of resistance.
After finishing speaking, Director Liu was ecstatic and walked hurriedly towards the hospital.
Li Yunlong nodded. It seemed that Director Liu was really busy and the hospital was really unstaffed, so he did not refuse. He and the soldiers carried the medicine to the hospital.
In order not to interfere with the normal order of the hospital, Li Yunlong asked the company commander guarding the hospital to help carry it.
Hundreds of soldiers lined up next to each other and started transporting medicines to the hospital in a relay manner.
The medicines had not yet been moved out, and the first batch of new medicines entering the hospital were quickly delivered to the hands of doctors and nurses to treat the seriously injured.
After working for more than two hours, Li Yunlong, Sun Desheng and the soldiers were all exhausted and sweating profusely.
Although everyone had been busy for so long and didn't even take a sip of water, there were smiles on their faces as if they were relieved.
Now the hospital is not short of medicine, and the wounded have medicines too!
"Go back to Yangcun."
Li Yunlong waved to the soldiers and led the transport team towards Yangcun with satisfaction.
He also rushed back to try out the power of the new large-caliber heavy machine gun.
The caliber of this large-caliber heavy machine gun is 12.7 mm. The caliber of Zhao Gang's large-caliber sniper rifle is also 12.7 mm?
Li Yunlong had seen the power of that large-caliber sniper rifle before. Other rifles only punched a hole in the head, but that gun exploded the head like a watermelon.
Hitting the torso can crush all the internal organs of a person, which is no different than breaking it into two pieces.
They all have the same caliber, wouldn't it mean that large-caliber heavy machine guns also have such power?
With this thought in his mind, Li Yunlong couldn't wait to try the power of this large-caliber heavy machine gun.
If it weren't for personally escorting the medicines to the headquarters hospital, Li Yunlong would have tried out the gun at the shooting range in Yangcun.
