Wang Xuexin calculated everything, but he missed one point: his location was the source of the black smoke, which was an obvious target for the Japanese aircraft. Even if it had no effect, they would blow up the smoke out of venting their anger.
the source of.
But Wang Xuexin should feel lucky. It was not an aerial bomb weighing hundreds of kilograms, but a small bomb of only 25 kilograms.
Wang Xuexin was drowsy along the way. One moment he woke up and saw Huzi, the next moment he saw a white coat wearing a mask, and the next moment there was blurry light, like the sunrise at the seaside in his hometown, warm, familiar, and quiet.
, it still fucking hurts...
At this time, Su Xin was busy assembling cannonballs with workers.
These are the shells for the 50 small artillery. The demand for shells increases exponentially as soon as the battle ahead begins.
This may or may not be a good thing for the arsenal.
The sharp increase in demand on the front line shows that the 50 small artillery meets the combat needs of the army, and it is also an endorsement of the work of the arsenal.
However, the production capacity of the arsenal is only a drop in the bucket, and many troops are waiting eagerly, including the independent regiment.
Su Xin had heard the news that the Independent Regiment had annihilated a large Japanese group and thought the battle was over.
Unexpectedly, it was reported that the independent group was facing the main force of the Japanese.
"Why are you still fighting?" Su Xin was a little surprised: "Why do the Japanese just keep an eye on the independent group?"
Wu Jin replied: "Why is it that the Japanese are keeping an eye on the Independent Group? It's because the geographical location of the Independent Group is so important that the Japanese have to capture Zhaojiayu!"
Su Xin fell silent after hearing this. So that means she has no clue?
The workers encouraged each other while busy with the work at hand:
"Comrades, work harder. The superiors want to send a batch of artillery shells to the independent regiment. They are waiting!"
"If we exert more force, the soldiers on the front line will suffer fewer casualties, and we can fight more Japanese!"
"Comrades on the front line are bleeding and dying, we can't hold them back!"
…
These words can cheer up other workers, but they are particularly harsh to Su Xin's ears.
casualties?
Bloody sacrifice?
Su Xin seemed to see Xiao Dongbei running and killing the enemy on the battlefield where shells were flying.
At this moment, Zhang Wanhe hurriedly walked in from outside the door. When he found Su Xin in the crowd, he shouted: "Director Su, come here!"
Looking at Zhang Wanhe's face, Su Xin had an ominous feeling.
Sure enough, when she stepped forward, she heard Zhang Wanhe say: "Director Su, I have something to tell you. Don't worry. Xiao Dongbei was injured and was sent to the field hospital..."
Su Xin's face lost all color in an instant, and she quickly asked: "Director, are you seriously injured?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized that the question was meaningless.
She remembered that Xiao Dongbei once said that people with minor injuries would not be sent to the hospital, only those with serious injuries would be sent to the hospital.
Thinking of this, Su Xin asked for instructions without waiting for Zhang Wanhe's answer: "Director, let me go for a while!"
"Sure, go check out the situation!" Zhang Wanhe said, "I'm watching this!"
Su Xin glanced at Zhang Wanhe gratefully, then quickly walked out of the factory and rushed to the field hospital.
Zhang Wanhe felt a little regretful when he saw Su Xin leaving.
He wasn't sure whether he was right or wrong in making such a match.
That Xiao Dongbei was fighting the Japanese on the front line every day. If there were any problems with this, could Su Xin still be able to work with peace of mind?
But having said that, it is so common to have injuries and pains these days. If everyone thinks like this, it will be impossible to survive! The subsequent work will be meaningless...
When Wang Xuexin woke up, he couldn't remember how much time had passed. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a white plastic bottle hanging on the bedside, with clear liquid extending along a yellow hose to his wrist.
Wang Xuexin was a little surprised. Can the Eighth Route Army still receive infusions?
Later, Wang Xuexin learned that this was the glucose nutrient solution produced by the Eighth Route Army. It was produced by the Eighth Route Army Pharmaceutical Factory in Yan'an. It was put into production last year. Because the output was small, only special severely wounded soldiers could use it on the front line.
Wang Xuexin wanted to get up, but the pain was excruciating when he moved, especially his head, chest and abdomen, which made him gasp for air.
Then Wang Xuexin found someone lying beside the bed.
At first Wang Xuexin thought it was a nurse, but then he was surprised to find that it was Su Xin.
"You, are you awake?" Su Xin, who looked tired, quickly turned excited when she saw Wang Xuexin woke up, and then rushed out the door excitedly, shouting: "Doctor, he's awake..."
Then a doctor wearing a white coat came in. Wang Xuexin was not sure whether it could still be called a white coat because it was already yellow in color.
Wang Xuexin guessed that it was because the white coat was stained by blood again and again and could not be washed away no matter how hard it was washed, so it was as "rusty" as it is now.
The doctor came in, rolled Wang Xuexin's eyes, took his pulse, and said happily: "Everything is normal, just pay attention to rest, it's nothing serious!"
Su Xin quickly expressed her gratitude.
After the doctor left, Wang Xuexin looked at Su Xin doubtfully and asked, "Why are you here? By the way, how is the battle going? Where are Huzi and the others? How many people were injured?"
"Don't worry about this or that!" Su Xin said, "Think about yourself first. The doctor took out seven pieces of shrapnel from your body, one of which was inserted near the heart. The doctor said that if it weren't for the pile of rubber
If you block it, now..."
After saying that, he stopped talking and didn't continue.
"It's nothing, isn't it? What's there to be afraid of?" As soon as Wang Xuexin said these words, he became a little worried. Isn't this going to lead to amputation?
"What are you looking for?" Su Xin asked suspiciously when she saw Wang Xuexin touching this and that.
"Are my legs still there?" Wang Xuexin asked.
Su Xin was amused on the spot: "You just said, 'What's there to be afraid of'? Don't worry, they're all here! The doctor said you were knocked unconscious by the bomb, and the external injuries only look scary, but they're not serious at all!"
Wang Xuexin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't want to lie like this and do nothing for the rest of his life.
"All your soldiers are fine. You are the one closest to the bomb who was most seriously injured!" Su Xin skillfully poured some hot water into the basin, then twisted a hot towel and wiped Wang Xuexin's face: "Xiao Wang, you are so
You have such a big attitude, the factory director asked me to take care of you on behalf of the comrades in the arsenal! They are all rushing to produce ammunition for the front line, and they are too busy!"
"Is the war still going on?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"Of course!" Su Xin nodded: "But don't worry, the Hundred Battle Group has sent reinforcements. Not only Zhaojiayu, but the battle situation in other places has also stabilized. I heard that I used your method to burn things and put them away
The smoke, coupled with the back-slope fortifications and tunnels, the Japanese can’t do anything to us!”
Later, Wang Xuexin learned that the truth was not exactly what Su Xin said.
What really made the Japanese feel desperate was the Eighth Route Army's large-scale application of "elastic defense" tactics.
That is to say, the front is fighting, and the reinforcements behind the Eighth Route Army are building anti-slope fortifications, and then rolling back layer by layer.
It is conceivable that if the attack continues like this, even if the Japanese can advance forward, they will never be able to penetrate the reverse slope fortifications.
In addition, the tunnel warfare in the rear guerrilla zones also played a role and caused logistical problems for the Japanese, so the Japanese had to retreat to the next best option and choose to implement a blockade on the plains.
