Almost at the same time as those bombers flew away from the shooting range, Zonia began to shout loudly.
"Help!"
Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had already rushed out and ran to the artillery position not far away. After just one glance, his heart sank.
Yulia was hit by the bomber's aviation machine gun, and the bullet broke one of her legs! At this time, she was still alive, and her remaining leg was still on the fire pedal, ready to step on it at any time!
"Hold it!"
Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had roughly pulled off the other party's belt and strangled the wound tightly. He then picked up the almost weightless girl and ran toward the shack that served as the operating room.
Olga came over and shouted, "Gas lamp! Light the gas lamp"
Hearing this, Olga panicked, immediately turned around and ran back, and started to inflate and pressurize the gas lamp as quickly as possible.
"What medicines did Sergey deliver last night?" Wei Ran asked as he placed Yulia on the operating table.
"A set of surgical instruments! A bottle of veterinary anesthesia! And some gauze!" Olga answered very quickly.
"For animal use? Where is it?" Wei Ran stopped tying up Yulia and asked.
"In the bedside box!" Olga answered.
With the faint light of the oil lamp, Wei Ran found a large bottle of veterinary anesthetic from the box, hurriedly checked the label on the bottle, and immediately took out a glass syringe, sucked up a small amount of the medicine, and injected it into Yuli's body.
Near Asia's severed limb.
"She needs a blood transfusion, do you know her blood type?" Wei Ran asked loudly.
"I don't know!" Olga, who had already lit the gas lamp, replied loudly, "Of all the people, I only know my and my mother's blood types!"
"Then we have to hurry up."
Wei Ran hurriedly wiped his hands with iodine, picked up the surgical instruments, and started working.
At the same time, Sasha, who came from a distance, just glanced at his girlfriend Yulia through the window outside the shack, then ran to the edge of the artillery position, picked up Yulia's severed limb and put it aside
, and then sat on it by himself.
"When I shout to fire, just press the pedal hard!" Jonia reminded calmly, "Don't worry about anything else!"
"I know! I've practiced!" Sasha responded loudly while wiping tears.
“They will come back”
Sonia said and looked at the sentry tower on the treetop. In a short while, Sonia, who had just ran into the girls' dormitory, had climbed up again.
While Wei Ran and Olga were busy busy, and in the icy blue light released by the gas lamp, Yulia's broken blood vessels were sewn together by Wei Ran in the most brutal way.
However, before he could sew up the torn muscles, the bombers roared again in the sky!
Almost at the same time, the bomber's aircraft machine guns and the anti-aircraft artillery on the three islands opened fire one after another.
But at this time, Wei Ran couldn't care less about what was happening outside. He had to complete the operation on Yulia as soon as possible under the cover of the Soviet cloak that Olga tried to hold open.
But coincidentally, he heard the distinctive whistle sound when an aerial bomb fell amid the firefight.
"Be careful to avoid the cannon!"
As Wei Ran spoke, he bent down to protect Yulia's wound. Olga, who was a little slow to react, also bent down immediately.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of five aerial bombs exploded all around, and a large amount of soil was shaken off from the shack that served as the operating room.
But fortunately, the anti-aircraft artillery outside was still counterattacking in units of seven rounds!
"Hold it!"
As Wei Ran said that, he stood up and opened the door and took a quick look outside. Seeing that the gun crew members were all there, he immediately returned to the shack and continued to suture Yulia's wounds.
Before he could finish his work, the bombers roared further and further away, and the anti-aircraft artillery stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the shack was pushed open. Yuri hugged his sister Sonia and asked with a cry, "Victor, save her, save my sister!"
Turning his head and looking away, Wei Ran retracted his gaze and continued to sew while apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, I can't save her, she's already dead."
"Try it, try it again, please try it again." Yuri said, but he was already sitting helplessly at the door.
Sonia's skull in his arms had been cracked, and the white brain matter had flowed out. In her chest, there were penetrating wounds caused by bullets.
"She's dead, sorry."
Wei Ran said more and more apologetically, while also speeding up the movements of his hands, "Is... anyone else injured?"
Hearing this, Yuri wiped away his uncontrollable tears and struggled to stand up, "No, the gun crew is not injured. I...I'm going to check on the others."
"Wait a minute and let me take a picture of her." Wei Ran said.
"No need." Yuri shook his head, "I have her photo, I...I have to go to work."
Before he finished speaking, Yuri carried Sonia's body with difficulty and left the shack.
"She fell from the tree," said Olga.
"I know" Wei Ran nodded.
"She's not the first one to fall from the tower."
Olga's tone became more and more painful, "There were others before her..."
"Let's work first"
Wei Ran interrupted the other party's words. He didn't want to hear these helpless tragedies.
"Then let's work first. Can she survive?" Olga asked.
"have no idea"
Wei Ran said truthfully, although he had sutured the wound, Yulia was already unconscious, and the only thing that proved that she was still alive was her heaving chest.
After completing the final suturing, Wei Ran handed over the bandaging work to Olga, "Remember to give her two candies. The candies are at your mother, Mrs. Vlada's."
"I know" Olga accepted the job while bandaging.
Hearing this, Wei Ran took out his camera and took a photo of Olga who was busy and Yulia who was unconscious. Then he opened the wooden door of the shack and walked out to the cemetery in the distance.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Yuri had just buried his sister Sonia with the help of Old Ivan and others.
"She put the hearth in the shack"
Yuri took the warmer from Lisa and said desperately, "She knew she was going to die."
"We all know it"
Old Ivan held Yuri in his arms and looked at Wei Ran who was approaching, "Comrade reporter, please take another group photo for us. Then we will elect a new sentinel."
"good"
Wei Ran nodded, opened the leather case of his Rollei camera, included the people standing together in the viewfinder of the camera, and pressed the shutter.
"Vasily, help us select new sentries." Old Ivan said, "Zonia, take your people to the position."
"yes!"
Jonia simply accepted the order and led her artillery crew members to the position, leaving behind Sasha who had just been an emergency replacement.
At the same time, Yuri also stuffed the stove into his arms, hung the whistle stained with the blood of his sister Sonia around his neck, picked up a few boards, nails, and a small ax, and walked alone
The sentry tower was almost destroyed by machine guns.
At this point, apart from Vasily, who was responsible for ordering troops, only old Ivan, Vlada, Sasha, Ruslan, Igor and Wei Ran were left beside the cemetery.
"Comrade Victor, you also..."
"I also want to join the battle," Wei Ran said seriously.
"And me"
Before he finished speaking, Olga also walked over and stood beside Wei Ran.
"Vasily, let's start." It was the cook Vlada who spoke.
"Let's get started." Old Ivan sighed and followed suit, "Let's select the gunners we urgently need first."
Hearing this, Vasily took off his gloves and pointed his finger at the people lined up, "A German came out of the thick fog and pulled out a knife from his pocket. It's you who wants to kill or scratch him."
"
This time, his fingers stopped on Igor's body.
"I knew I was suitable to be a gunner!" Igor said excitedly. He didn't even wait for the others to say anything, and he had already raised his injured hand and ran towards the artillery position.
"Next is the sentry who will replace Sonya," old Ivan said, and Vasily read out the nursery rhyme again when Wei Ran pointed his camera at him.
Expected and unexpected, this time his fingers stopped on Wei Ran's body.
"Looks like I got the job as a sentinel."
Wei Ran hung the camera around his neck before anyone could speak, "In that case, I'll go talk to..."
"He can't go"
Olga grabbed Wei Ran's arm, "He is the only doctor on our island, or even on our three islands, who can perform surgery. He can't take risks, so let me go."
"The camp and the sentry tower are next to each other, so the level of danger is the same."
Wei Ran gently opened the opponent's hand, "Besides, I can see who is injured more clearly from the sentry tower, so I'll do it."
"Can..."
"I'm not always up there."
Wei Ran said, "I promise, I will come down as soon as I find the plane and issue the warning. It's not far from the shack in the first place."
"Okay..." Olga finally let go of Wei Ran's arm.
"I will leave it to you to take care of Yulia."
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he quickened his pace and walked towards the sentry tower. He wanted to check on Yuri's condition.
Climbing up the guard tower again, Yuri was busy repairing the almost broken guard tower with wooden boards and nails, and his mood was unexpectedly calm.
"I took over Sonia's job"
Wei Ran said, "Yuri, assign me tasks."
Turning to look at Wei Ran, Yuri continued to work on nailing the boards and asked, "How is your eyesight? Can you see clearly at night?"
"able"
Wei Ran replied, "I don't have night blindness."
"Noon to midnight"
Yuri said, "You can start guarding after I repair this place. I will come to take your place at night."
"no problem"
Wei Ran paused, then asked worriedly, "Yuri, you..."
"It's okay, I'm okay."
Yuri banged the nails hard and replied, "There is no time to be sad now. The German planes will definitely come again. Victor, go and rest now. Watching is a very hard job."
"I'll take over for you at noon."
Wei Ran left the other party alone space, grabbed the rope and slid to the ground, and then walked into the shack that served as the operating room.
At this time, Yulia was still lying on the operating table, and Olga was busy steaming and sterilizing the surgical instruments.
"Isn't Sasha here?" Wei Ran asked.
"He just came to see Yulia," Olga replied, "and now he's going to help you find canned bombs."
Hearing this, Wei Ran silently left the shack, and then saw Jionya leading the artillery crew members to continue repairing the broken bunker with ice and snow.
However, the ice and snow bunker, which is less than shoulder height, cannot follow the rotation of the anti-aircraft machine gun, and it cannot be built too high, otherwise it will block the shooting range.
In other words, this ring of ice and snow fortress, which is fully one meter thick, can hardly block the ground-licking bullets fired from the directional machine guns, in addition to being able to somewhat block the shell fragments that may fall around.
Seeing that Igor, who had an injured hand, was helping to carry water from the ice cave to the position, Wei Ran also used the cover of his backpack to take out the engineer shovel from the metal book to help them strengthen their defenses - even if it was not too big.
The use of.
"I don't know if Uncle Seryozha can bring back the artillery shield."
Andre was the first to break the silence, "If there was a shield, maybe Yulia wouldn't be injured."
"Even without artillery shields, we must continue fighting."
Kneeling in the snow, Lisa slapped the accumulated snow on the bunker with a wooden board and said, "I would rather die here than let the Germans drop bombs on the ice road."
"How long have you not been in contact with him?" Jonia asked abruptly.
Hearing this, Lisa glanced at Wei Ran, who was helping to shovel the snow, "The journalist comrade brought his letter the day he came, but I haven't had time to reply, but as long as I know he is still alive, I will be satisfied."
"Your boyfriend?" Wei Ran asked.
"yes"
Lisa answered very calmly, "We are classmates. He and Sergey, like Vanya and the others, are transporters, but he drives a combat sled. Do you know about combat sleds?"
"I know." Wei Ran nodded, of course he knew that kind of thing.
"Victor, how about taking a picture for me?"
Lisa straightened up and asked, "Just take pictures of me right here, so that if I die, at least I can leave him a photo. I'm not afraid of death, but I can't accept him after I die."
Falling in love with another woman again."
"I can take pictures for you, but you have to hand them over to him in person." Wei Ran said seriously, "Leave him alive and healthy."
"I promise you"
Lisa showed a bright smile, then took off her heavy gloves, pulled off her white scarf and took off her hat, revealing her long golden hair.
"Please wait for me"
Lisa said, taking out a comb from her pocket, combing her hair carefully, and then sat on the fortress, posing with Lake Ladoga behind her as the background.
"Do you often take pictures?" Wei Ran said while pressing the shutter towards the other person.
"My mother is a photographer in a photo studio"
Lisa replied, "Have you ever been to Leningrad? She works in that photo studio on Nevsky Prospekt."
"I've been to Leningrad, but I didn't pay attention to the photo studio on Nevsky Prospekt."
Wei Ran said apologetically, "Has your mother left Leningrad?"
"Left"
Lisa pointed in the distance and said happily, "She is also a traffic officer. The letter I received said that my mother is still alive."
"I'm done"
Wei Ran shook the camera in his hand, "But I hope you can personally send the photos to the people who need them."
"I hope so"
Lisa said, stuffing her hair into the cotton coat again and putting on her hat, scarf and gloves. She picked up the piece of wood again and continued to beat the snow on the fortress.
"Do you want me to take a picture of you too?" Wei Ran asked Jioniya.
"I'll forget it"
Jonia refused casually, "I don't have anyone who needs to send photos."
"Can't Yuri?" Andre asked with a wink.
"Crack!"
Jionya threw a snowball at the opponent's face to express her attitude, but Wei Ran pressed the shutter in time and successfully completed the capture.
"I will tell Yuri that here is a photo that Jonya gave him."
Wei Ran quickly added before Jonia threw the snowball at him, "I hope this will make him happy."
Hearing this, Jonia threw the snowball at her feet and said nonchalantly, "Then give it to him."
"Comrade reporter, take a picture of me too!" Andre said.
"Do you also have someone you want to send photos to?" Wei Ran said, motioning for the person to sit on the cannon.
"Of course!" Andre said stupidly, "but I can't tell you who I want to give it to."
After saying that, he still couldn't hold it back, took off his gloves and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"I'll take a good picture of you"
As he spoke, Wei Ran raised the camera again and took a photo of the other person hiding his sadness with a bright smile. He might be as sad as Yuri, or even sadder than Yuri.
"Igor, what about you?" Wei Ran shook the camera, "Let me take a picture of you too."
"I don't have a girl I like..."
"Yes, you will always meet a girl you like in the future."
Andre said, "Anyway, comrade reporters, let's take a picture of him too."
With that said, Andrei had already invited Igor to sit in the gunner's position, and kindly helped him hide his hand in his inner sleeve.
After taking photos of Igor, Wei Ran simply took another group photo of the newly formed gun crew.
Just at this time, Sasha also pulled a cart full of can bombs back on a sled, and shouted loudly from a distance, "Comrade reporter, I found a lot of can bombs!"
"It seems I can't help you anymore"
"It doesn't matter, I hope your bomb can still explode so many fish today." Igor, who had already picked up the iron bucket again, said expectantly.
"I hope so," Wei Ran said, taking his engineer shovel and leaving the position.
Returning to the edge of his own shack, Wei Ran couldn't help but feel dizzy when he saw Sashala's sleigh coming back. There were at least sixty or seventy can bombs on this sleigh.
"Where did all this come from?" Wei Ran couldn't help but ask.
"We used to throw can bombs into a bear cave when we encountered them," Sasha explained. "Ruslan and I just dug out all the can bombs inside."
"Is there a bear cave on this island?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
"Trucks can drive on ice, why can't bears come over?"
“That makes sense”
Wei Ran nodded, "I'll start making it right now..."
"Comrade reporter, let me help you."
Sasha requested, "I want Yulia to have a full stomach at least every day for the next time."
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran finally nodded, instructing the other party to find the corresponding materials, carefully explaining the precautions, and then led him to start making canned fried fish.
This thing is actually not very dangerous, it just requires some caution.
"When did you and Yulia meet?" Wei Ran, who was a reporter, naturally asked this slightly cruel question.
“On the way out of Leningrad”
Sasha answered while opening the can carefully, "Her grandfather starved to death, and her mother was killed by a can bomb. I gave her the last half of the cookie I had, and we became friends."
"At least she's still alive," Wei Ran said after a long silence.
"Yes, at least she is still alive." Sasha said happily, "When Father Seryosha comes back, maybe we can send her to Kobona."
"Let me take a picture of you."
Wei Ran said again, "When the time comes, I can ask Yulia to take her to Cobona."
"Here?"
“Of course I’m going to shoot with Yulia.”
Wei Ran stood up as he spoke, beckoning the other party to put down what he was doing, and walked through the cemetery into the operating room.
Olga happened to be away at this time, so Wei Ran motioned to Sasha to sit by the bed and took a photo of the two of them - deliberately not taking Yulia's injured leg into the photo.
"Get out of here quickly before Olga notices" Wei Ran put away the camera and said.
"Will she survive?" Sasha asked before standing up.
"Hui" Wei Ran responded firmly.
"That's good"
Sasha showed a relieved expression, "Victor, I'll make canned fried fish myself. I've figured out how to do it."
"Pay attention to safety and be sure to tie the boards tightly."
Wei Ran said as he walked out of the operating room and walked to the kitchen in the distance. He had a strong feeling that someone might die during the day. He wanted to complete the photo taking as soon as possible before the next person was buried in the cemetery.
Everyone takes a photo and try to hear each of their experiences.
In any case, he came here in the name of a reporter this time. He has the responsibility to do some record-keeping work that a reporter should do in addition to his return mission.
