In the ruins of the clinic shrouded in dust, all kinds of garbage were carried behind them little by little by Wei Ran and others in a relay manner, and the restroom at the front gradually revealed its original outline.
Finally, when the bathtub filled with clothes was completely dug out, both Dr. Lodge and the little nurse who had been wearing a mask breathed a sigh of relief.
Bending down and holding up a door panel to block the view behind him, Father Hans looked at Dr. Lodge seriously, "Aren't you going to explain?"
Hearing this, Dr. Rocky calmly wiped the dust from his body on his white coat and lowered his voice and said, "I'm just hiding a few friends."
"Jewish friends?" Father Hans asked with a frown.
Dr. Lodge glanced at Wei Ran, who was using his body to help cover the outside view, nodded imperceptibly, and then worked with the nurse to lift the bathtub.
A faint light leaked from under the bathtub. Dr. Lodge knelt on the dirty floor, stuck most of his head in and asked, "Is everyone okay?"
"It's okay, everyone is okay." A pleasant female voice came from inside, "What happened up there?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the clinic was hit by a shell." Dr. Rocky replied calmly, "Since it's okay, you can keep quiet down there."
"OK"
After hearing the reply inside, Dr. Lodge stepped back, then lifted the bathtub and kicked off the bricks that had just been inserted into the gap. As the bathtub rejoined the dirty floor
, the faint light was also completely covered up.
"Okay, let's find some food and supplies and go out."
Father Hans reminded, "If you go empty-handed, even an idiot will know there is something wrong, especially when there are so many young people out there who have their heads full of shit."
"Let's see if there are any surviving wounded."
After Dr. Rocky finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to take a few steps back. After Hans' father half-blocked the bathroom door with the door panel in his hand, he climbed out of the ruins with difficulty, walked around to the other side of the clinic, and tried his best to find
with survivors.
With the efforts of four people, they dug out an injured old man from the collapsed ruins and carried him to the open space outside the ruins with difficulty.
After roughly checking the old man's physical condition and confirming that he was fine, Dr. Lodge walked to the boxes stacked against the wall outside and found three metal boxes painted with gray paint and red crosses.
And distribute two of them to Wei Ran and Father Hans.
"This seems to be a medical first aid kit only used in field hospitals?"
Father Hans opened the box in surprise, "Marco's aunt is really generous. When I was in the youth league, she only gave me a medical backpack."
Hearing this, Wei Ran also curiously opened the metal box he got. This iron box was full of stuff. In addition to various medical equipment, there were also various medical supplies such as tetanus, penicillin, antibiotics, sulfonamide packs and even Ma Fei.
There are many kinds of medicines.
"Mario, come here, I'll help you sew your butt!" Wei Ran said to the little guy who was still crying in Marco's arms.
It would have been better if he didn't say that. When he opened his mouth, Mario was immediately frightened to the point where he didn't even dare to cry. His dirty little face was shaking crazily from side to side to express resistance.
"I'll do it," Dr. Lodge said helplessly, "Victor, your sewing is too... forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
“Use it as you like”
Wei Ran angrily closed the metal box and said while Dr. Rocky was sewing Mario's butt, "The clinic is gone. We may have to move to another location."
“cannot be exchanged”
It was Father Hans who refused this time, "The supplies sent by Marco's aunt are too precious. It will be a big trouble for us to evacuate the wounded, not to mention the medicines? If there are no medicines and supplies,
, these wounded people will not last long."
"That..."
Wei Ran was about to say something when Father Hans turned around and walked into the ruins of the clinic again, took out two white sheets from inside, and used the remaining blood from a corpse to draw a conspicuous cross on one of them. Then he
He handed it over to Wei Ran, "Insert it into the ruins at the entrance of the alley. I hope the Soviets are not blind. If necessary, we will raise the white flag."
Wei Ran opened his mouth, stood up, took the Red Cross flag, walked a few steps towards the entrance of the alley, climbed up the ruins and tied it to a door panel that fell from nowhere, and stood it in the most conspicuous position.
When he came back, the wound on Mario's butt had been stitched up, and he was lying naked on a wooden box, waiting for his brother Marco to find his clothes from the rubble.
"Hans, Victor, come on."
After Dr. Rocky waited for Wei Ran to come back, he immediately greeted them and walked to the back of the ruins away from the wounded.
"What's wrong?" Father Hans took the cigarette offered by the other party, lit it, and asked puffing away smoke.
Seeing that Wei Ran refused the cigarette he handed over, Dr. Lodge directly put it into his mouth, lit it and took a deep breath. Then he explained in a low voice amidst the rumbling gunfire, "Those wounded must find a way.
Move away, especially the wounded German soldiers."
"Because of the bathroom?" Wei Ran asked thoughtfully, while Father Hans, who was about to ask the same question, put the cigarette into his mouth again.
Dr. Lodge nodded, "In this war, I'm afraid even the head of state knows that it will only be a matter of time before Berlin is captured by the Soviets. But after the war is over, no one can know about the bathroom, otherwise we..."
"How many people are there down there?" Father Hans asked abruptly.
Dr. Lodge was startled, "Nine children about the same age as Mario, and six Jewish women."
"So many?!" Father Hans lowered his voice and looked at Dr. Lodge seriously, "How long have they been here?"
"The first two children have been hiding under the bathtub for four years. Their mother or father used to be employees or patients of this dental clinic."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Doctor Rocky turned around, looked expectantly at the battlefield at the end of the alley, and said in a tired tone, "Hans, I have persisted for four years.
Years have passed. As long as they persist for at most one month, no, maybe only half a month, the war will be over. If they..."
“Needless to say”
Father Hans looked around, thought for a moment and then calculated, "On the right side of the alley, close to the Moltke Bridge, is the Ministry of Interior building, and behind it is the Kroll Opera House. They must be key targets for the Soviets.
So if you want to evacuate the wounded outside, it’s best to find a sufficient room on the left side of the alley.”
"And it can't be too far." Dr. Lodge looked at the remaining buildings on the left side of the alley, trying to find a place for the wounded.
"We will definitely send the wounded here today, why not let them think of a solution." Wei Ran, who only asked a question at the beginning, stood up and said.
"That's all we can do." Father Hans put out his cigarette butt, "Now I just hope there won't be too many injured today."
"I hope so." Dr. Lodge walked towards the open space not far away. "Before they come, at least set up the operating table with the things you can find!"
By the time the three of them walked back to the open space, Marco had already helped his brother put on the overalls and sweater he found in the ruins, but the buttocks of these pants had been cut out by the little nurse.
Half of the buttocks covered with gauze were exposed.
Mario, who was still lying on the box, finally stopped crying at this time, but he was clutching the Youth League knife that originally belonged to his brother, and his little face turned red.
On the other hand, his brother Marco, after learning that the clinic would continue to be "open", immediately walked towards the pile of supply boxes and said, "I remember seeing a pack of tents when I was sorting these boxes yesterday, and asked me to look for them.
..Here it is!”
Before he finished speaking, Marco had already picked up a huge canvas bag with a red cross printed on it from the corner.
"Put it up quickly!" Dr. Rocky, who was dragging the hospital bed out of the ruins with the nurse, shouted in surprise.
Following the installation instructions printed on the canvas bag, Wei Ran and Marco set up the tent, which could hold four beds, in the center of the open space as quickly as possible. Then everyone saw the two printed tents and two
The red cross signs on the top of the slope.
"We should have put up this tent a long time ago. With it, maybe even the planes overhead will avoid us." Dr. Lodge said happily.
"The premise is that the Soviets have a bottom line." Father Hans said noncommittally.
"You should first ask those German soldiers who burned, killed and looted in other countries..." Wei Ran muttered to himself, bent down and took out two kerosene gas lamps from a box and brought them into the tent.
Almost at the same time as they hurriedly prepared, four German soldiers ran over the rubble carrying two wounded men on stretchers.
Wei Ranjian inspected the two wounded men, pointed at one of them and said, "Send this one to the tent, and find a place to bury the other one. He has expired."
The two young soldiers who were carrying the body looked panicked, and then they all sat on the ground, including the stretcher.
"How is the situation on the front line?" Wei Ran took out two candies from his pocket and gave them to the two soldiers. The candies were given to him before he and Mario had a fight over the wound on their butt.
"Thanks!"
The two soldiers squeezed the candy into their mouths, and one of them said with lingering fear, "We suffered a lot of casualties. We were fighting with the Soviets almost room by room."
"How far are they from the Moltke Bridge?" Wei Ran continued to ask, "I mean those Soviets."
"It's not that far," another soldier said while holding a candy bar in his mouth as he struggled to get up. "It's only two crossroads at most. Okay, doctor, thank you for the candy. We're going to carry the other wounded over.
"
"Don't rush yet"
Wei Ran stopped the two people, pointed to the wounded lying around in the open air and said, "You have also seen that our clinic was destroyed by a shell not long ago, but even if the clinic is still there, there is no way to save the wounded around them.
Move in. Can you two help find a safe enough place to place these wounded in the houses on the left?"
The two young soldiers hesitated after hearing this, but before they could open their mouths, Wei Ran lowered his voice and said casually, "At least it's safer than going to the other side of the river, isn't it?"
"Let's go look for it now!" These two soldiers were not fools. After being reminded by Wei Ran, they immediately took over the job.
"Look on the left side of this alley, remember to stay away from the river."
Wei Ran said this and pointed to the wounded on the ground not far away, "Once you find them, you will carry those wounded over. In addition, we need two loyal soldiers to protect those wounded at night. You...
.”
"We will definitely protect these wounded people!" The two smart guys who were dragged into the trap by Wei Ran immediately made an assurance.
Watching them run over the rubble and disappear, Wei Ran lowered his head to look at the body still lying on the stretcher, bent down and took off the helmet from his head, and put it on his head with peace of mind.
After the two doctors in the tent completed the operation on the wounded who were carried in, the two soldiers also ran back and found Wei Ran.
"We found a location that looks safe." One of the soldiers said, "Would you like me to take you to see it?"
"Let's go!"
While Wei Ran was talking, he took out two cans from the wooden box and stuffed them into their hands respectively. This small favor immediately made the two soldiers, who looked several years younger than him, even more polite.
Under their leadership, Wei Ran climbed over the ruins with remaining corpses, passed through a collapsed wall on the left side of the center of the alley, passed through two collapsed buildings, and finally stopped at the door of a large room with a remaining curtain.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This used to be a movie theater," one of the slightly taller soldiers explained, "I used to come here to watch movies with my classmates."
"I've been here too, and was caught for evading fares." Another soldier said regretfully, "I still remember that the ticket seller in this cinema was very beautiful."
“That’s it”
Wei Ran took out his flashlight and looked around, then walked back and said, "Bring the wounded over here, remember to carry those in military uniforms first, then the lightly wounded, and leave the remaining seriously wounded over there first.
"
After all, Wei Ran was wearing a white coat, so the two soldiers naturally wouldn't object to his words. They quickly followed him back to the open space at the end of the alley, temporarily placed the body in a bomb crater, and then began to transport the wounded according to Wei Ran's instructions.
After a while, the only three beds in the tent were filled with wounded people waiting for treatment. Wei Ran no longer delayed, took a slightly cleaner white coat, put on rubber gloves, and started working.
.
With the busy work of only two professional doctors, a half-baked doctor who looked more like a butcher, and a taciturn little nurse, the wounded who came from all over the place were sent to the tent one after another, and were guarded soon after.
The two young soldiers left behind once again were carried out as sick patients or corpses.
It was not until noon that the humid fog was completely dissipated by the sun, and a wounded man who had been shot in the abdomen was brought in, Wei Ran was stunned. Because around the neck of this middle-aged man with glasses, there was actually a mobile phone.
camera!
"It turns out to be here!"
Wei Ran glanced at it and quickly looked away. With the help of the little nurse, he completed the work at hand as quickly as possible. At the same time, he was distractedly thinking about how to keep the wounded man in the captain's uniform, and
How should I borrow the camera from him?
However, before he could figure out the result, Dr. Lodge, who was responsible for operating on the wounded man, threw the hemostatic forceps on the enamel plate beside him and said, "Carry him away, he is no longer alive."
Before he finished speaking, the two young soldiers waiting outside the tent immediately came in, took the body off the operating table and sent it to a bomb crater not far outside.
"I hope they don't take it away."
Wei Ran muttered to himself and patiently sutured the wound. Then he temporarily left the tent under the pretext of urinary escape.
"Where's that lieutenant just now?" Wei Ran stopped the two soldiers carrying the body, "The one with the camera hanging around his neck."
"It's in the crater over there." One of the soldiers pointed not far away and said, "Doctor Victor, do you want his camera?"
"How do you know?" Wei Ran, who was about to run towards the crater, immediately stopped and turned around.
"Except for the P38 pistol, the only valuable things he had on him were his cameras."
As the soldier spoke, he opened the bulging satchel around his waist, took out the cowhide camera bag with remaining blood and handed it to Wei Ran, "Thank you for being willing to stay with us."
"I just wanted to take some photos for everyone."
Wei Ran took the camera and looked at it. It was a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera, but it was smaller and more refined than the one he had used in the Battle of Stalingrad. Even the camera bag was custom-made.
Made of horse fur, it even has a precious gold melee assault medal inlaid on it.
"I also found several boxes of film on him."
After the soldier finished speaking, he rummaged through his backpack again. Wei Ran looked over subconsciously, and then quickly lowered his head and looked at the camera in his hand again. There were a lot of valuable things in the soldier's backpack, and the rumble just now
, also revealed many watches of various styles, pocket watches and even rings and even medals made of different materials!
It wasn't until the other party stretched out the four Bakelite sealing tubes that Wei Ran raised his head, took them gratefully and said, "Then I'm welcome."
"Take it!" the soldier said nonchalantly, and then he and his companions were called over by Father Hans in the tent.
Glancing at the few seriously injured people left around the clearing, Wei Ran fiddled with the camera in his hand, then put the wounded, the tent, and the two soldiers carrying the stretcher all into the viewfinder, and took a picture of this era.
First photo after that.
After the two soldiers left the camera range, Wei Ran got into the tent and pressed the shutter again towards Father Hans and Dr. Lodge who were busy.
"Victor, if you have time to take pictures, why not go give the injured a few stitches?" Dr. Lodge said without raising his head.
"Right away! Right now!" Wei Ran hurriedly put away the camera, put it in the basket under the operating table, put on gloves and continued working.
