Chapter five hundred and ninety-eight wounded soldiers
In order to prevent the Japanese planes from being discovered and bombed by the field hospital, the tents housing the wounded soldiers were not concentrated, but were scattered scattered in the mountain depressions.
The dense woods on the mountains provided some cover for the presence of the field hospital. On the mountains on both sides, Yang Ling also saw many sentries with loaded guns and live ammunition on high alert.
Although this is the rear of the defense line, the battlefield situation is complicated. Both their troops and the Japanese troops will send countless small groups to infiltrate the other side. Therefore, any negligence on the battlefield will lead to immeasurable losses.
"You take your horses to the woods over there and hide them, and wait for me outside."
After Yang Ling saw a forest on the left side of the mountain col from a distance, he dismounted and asked several guards to wait outside. He was worried that the horse's target was too big and would be discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance plane.
"Yes!" The brothers also dismounted and led their horses straight to the woods to hide.
Yang Ling asked guard Huzi and the other guards to carry the food unloaded from the horse, the medicines, bandages and other things seized on their shoulders and walk towards the col.
There was a constant battle on the front line, and the field hospital was busy. Everywhere, unit price teams could be seen carrying soldiers whose life and death were unclear and were hurriedly passing by Yang Ling and the others.
Many tents stank to the sky, filled with the smell of blood, sourness and decay, and from time to time one or two low screams of pain could be heard.
There were also many wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs, their bodies wrapped in blood-soaked gauze, staying in groups outside the tent, leaning against stones to bask in the sun.
These are officers and soldiers who were injured by artillery fire on the battlefield. The war has left disabilities on their bodies. If they are lightly injured and are lucky, they can stay in the logistics to help carry supplies and perform security work.
Most of the people with limited mobility could only receive a pension and retire home after recovering from their injuries. They looked at Yang Ling and his group walking by with different expressions on their faces.
There was curiosity, pain, numbness and confusion. Although they were living people, they had been devastated by the cruel war and were lifeless. Yang Ling could not see the slightest trace of life on their faces.
They all fought bravely and dared to charge at the Japanese with explosive bags on the battlefield, but now their future is bleak and gloomy.
"Huzi, leave some canned meat for them."
Yang Ling couldn't bear it when he saw that these brothers who had sacrificed their lives and shed blood were now left here to suffer with their broken bodies. However, he was also powerless and could only ask Huzi to leave a few cans for them. This was the only way he could
done.
"Brother, this is what we seized in Mahuiling. Take it and try it." After hearing Yang Ling's order, Huzi took out a few canned meat and handed it over.
These wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs looked at Yang Ling and the others, and then at the canned meat handed over by Hu Zi. Their lifeless faces finally regained some vitality, but they retracted their outstretched hands halfway.
.
"Sir, no reward for no merit, we can't have this can..."
The wounded soldiers saw that the can in Huzi's hand was full of heat, but they did not understand Yang Ling's intention. After all, they could see that Yang Ling was not here to express condolences.
Seeing the concerns of the wounded soldiers, Yang Ling explained: "Take it. Although the quantity is small, it is still my heart."
Seeing the sincerity in Yang Ling's eyes, they finally took the can and thanked Yang Ling and the others profusely. Many of them rubbed the cans in their hands with tears in their eyes. Although they had fought countless battles with the Japanese on the battlefield, they were able to capture something.
Very little time.
When many people go to the battlefield, veterans will tell them that as long as they defeat the Japanese, they can eat canned meat every day instead of drinking porridge and eating miscellaneous grains.
However, many brothers did not have the chance to eat the canned meat of the Japanese until they died. Instead, they were left with numerous corpses every time they fought.
Yang Ling and the others left the cans behind and continued to move forward, but some of the wounded soldiers sobbed softly. They had sacrificed their lives to kill so many brothers. Thinking of the scene where those brothers were mumbling about the taste of the Japanese cans before they died.
, I couldn’t help but feel sad.
Yang Ling and the others also felt uncomfortable. Even if they won this war, the suffering endured by the Chinese nation would not be erased by victory.
For these brothers who were disabled or sacrificed in the war, the impact was on the rest of their lives and the painful memories left to their families for a lifetime. However, because of a battle, these painful memories lasted for decades, or even longer.
Long……
The suffering caused by the little devils to the Chinese nation is not as simple as the economic losses caused by burning, killing, looting, or casualties, because the war caused the destruction of families and people, leaving more painful memories to the living, which are mental pain and torture.
.
When they saw the cold and stiff officers and soldiers being carried out from the tents, Yang Ling and the others would stop and pay attention.
Many of them died in the hospital because they could not be rescued. The hospital would also take measures to bury them on the spot to prevent the occurrence of plague and other diseases.
Therefore, every time the field hospital is moved, many new graves will be left next to the station, so that many brothers who died can be buried in other places.
Yang Ling and the others didn't carry much food, so they couldn't leave food for all the wounded soldiers. In the end, they could only stride past.
Zhang Hongying is taking several newly recruited medical soldiers to check the ward of the wounded soldiers' tent to check the recovery status of the wounded soldiers.
Those whose wounds are ulcerated and infected must be treated again in a timely manner. Those who recover quickly can be transferred to the lightly injured area for observation and rest. Those who are seriously injured and difficult to treat can only be evacuated. After all, frontline medical conditions are limited.
Although Zhang Hongying has not been in the army for a long time, her study in the medical training class in Wuhan and her rescue experience in the field mean that although she cannot perform major operations, she can already complete some simple rescue operations.
Now she is just like when she first arrived at the hospital, leading the new with the old, and taking the battlefield medics sent over with simple training to check the wounds of the wounded soldiers.
China is poor, weak and backward, and the medical conditions are very poor. Not only is there a lack of medicines, but there is also an extreme shortage of medical staff, so that many people who have received simple training have to bite the bullet and study while rescuing wounded soldiers. This is how Zhang Hongying came along.
of.
"The wound is almost healed and can be moved to the observation area."
"The wound is somewhat infected and needs to be treated immediately."
…
Zhang Hongying was not only beautiful, but also saved the lives of many people. She was very grateful to these wounded soldiers. Every time she went to a tent, she would cause a commotion and endless thanksgivings.
Although exhausted, Zhang Hongying was very happy to see the wounded soldiers gradually recovering.
"Sister-in-law, we are here to see you coming!"
Just as Zhang Hongying finished inspecting a tent, a loud voice came from the door of the tent.
Zhang Hongying looked up and saw Huzi, whose waist was full of bullet boxes, standing excitedly at the door.
The wounded soldiers and medical soldiers all looked sideways and started talking in low voices. Zhang Hongying suddenly blushed at being accepted as her sister-in-law in public.
"You guys go on, I'll go out for a while."
Zhang Hongying handed the inspection book to a medical soldier, gouged out the innocent Hu Zi standing at the door, and dragged him out of the tent.
