When Yamashita gave the order, the new regiment had already entered the old forest.
It's just that the old forest is not that easy to walk in. Because the special forces of the Langya Brigade have received special training, going in and out of the deep mountains and old forests is like their own backyard. However, for regular troops who have not received high-intensity specialized training, the deep mountains and old forests are not.
It is a severe test, and the mountains and forests in summer are especially dangerous!
This is a bloody lesson, and the most tragic lesson was when the expeditionary force crossed the Savage Mountain. Nearly 30,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force walked into the primitive jungle of the Savage Mountain, but in the end, only 2,000 people came out alive!
The primeval forest in Changbai Mountain may not be as scary as Savage Mountain, but it is by no means a good place!
Just now, Liang Yixiao stepped on a rotted tree stump and sprained his ankle. He Shuya had no choice but to carry Liang Yixiao and walk forward. As he was walking forward, an extremely shrill scream of a woman suddenly came from in front of him.
Liang Yixiao suddenly became excited and said in panic: "It seems to be Wenwen, it's Wenwen's voice!"
"Zheng Wen?" He Shuya's heart suddenly trembled. This is an old man from the Dameishan period. Although Zheng Wen has never joined the combat force, in the publicity department, she is a rare general!
At that moment, He Shuya quickened his pace and trudged forward with Liang Yixiao on his back.
Seeing that He Shuya was struggling to walk, Liang Yixiao said: "Don't worry about it, go to the front and have a look."
He Shuya had the right idea, so he put Liang Yixiao down and handed her over to her comrades to take care of. Then he hurried to the accident site with the guards. After arriving, he realized that the accident was not Zheng Wen himself, but the Propaganda Department.
A young soldier of the Communist Party of China. The young soldier joined the New Regiment in Fengtian. Because of his young age, he was assigned to the Propaganda Department.
At this moment, the little soldier was lying motionless in a trap.
This is a large trap dug by hunters in the mountains. It is two meters square and more than four meters deep. The bottom is covered with white sharp wooden stakes. The little soldier's legs were pierced by the wooden stakes. However,
The real fatal thing was the sharp wooden stake that passed through the chest, directly piercing the heart of the little soldier.
After asking the soldiers around, I learned that a Siberian tiger had suddenly jumped out of the dense forest just now.
The little soldier was frightened, and in a panic, he fell into the trap that had actually been found.
He Shuya sighed and could only order the soldiers to take soil from around the trap and bury the little warrior. And because of time constraints, they only buried a shallow layer of soil to ensure that the little warrior's body would not be eaten by wild beasts. War
Years passed, and the troops were in the process of being transferred, so there was no condition for burial.
After walking not far, a young soldier hurriedly caught up and reported: "The battalion commander is not well."
He Shuya immediately paused in his heart and said, "Don't be anxious, what happened?"
"Hoo, ho, Li, Li, Expert Li." The little warrior gasped, "Expert Li was bitten by a poisonous snake."
"Expert Li? You mean Dr. Li Xiaoxia?!" He Shuya's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. This person was a talented student who had returned from studying in the United States, and he was a key target of protection that the group leader had specially warned. In the words of the group leader, even if
Even if Dr. Li's life was exchanged for a member of the Wolf Fang team, he wouldn't frown!
If something happens to such an expert, how can the leader spare him?
At that moment, He Shuya put Liang Yixiao down again and followed the little warrior back in a hurry along the original road.
Less than fifty meters back, He Shuya saw Dr. Li Xiaoxia sitting on the ground resting. After all, Li Xiaoxia was a doctor who had studied abroad and knew some first aid. Moreover, the poisonous snake bitten the calf, so he used fine linen.
The rope was tied around the crook of the leg above the wound to prevent the snake venom from spreading throughout the body along the blood.
He Shuya asked with concern: "Dr. Li, how do you feel?"
Li Xiaoxia just shook his head and said nothing. He was already very weak.
Seeing that Li Xiaoxia's condition was not good, He Shuya said to the guard: "Go find Doctor Hua quickly."
Oluhara Junko, who has the best medical skills in the field hospital, did not follow He Shuya's team, but Chiba Hanako, who has the second best medical skills, is in this team. Now only Chiba Hanako can save Li Xiaoxia.
The guard hurried over, and after almost half an hour, Chiba Hanako arrived panting.
After carefully examining the wound on Li Xiaoxia's right calf, Chiba Hanako said with a solemn expression: "Captain He, Dr. Li was bitten by an adult viper, and the dose of snake venom injected was relatively large! Ordinary medical methods are probably completely
It won’t work, unless antivenom is found, otherwise..."
"Antivenom?" He Shuya's heart suddenly sank when he heard this.
Li Xiaoxia's face immediately fell. Are you kidding me? Where can I find antivenom in this barren mountain?
At that moment, Li Xiaoxia weakly said to He Shuya: "Captain He, you don't have to worry about me anymore. Let's go. Let's go."
He Shuya naturally refused to give up easily, and asked Qianye Hanako again: "Doctor Hanako, is there really no other way?"
"I haven't finished what I just said." Chiba Hanako shook her head and continued, "Unless there is anti-venom, there is only one way."
He Shuya asked anxiously: "What can we do?"
Chiba Hanako's beautiful eyes narrowed and she said in a deep voice: "Amputation!"
"What?" He Shuya was stunned and said, "Amputation?"
"Hai, it's just an amputation." Chiba Hanako paused and said, "Besides, we have run out of anesthetics."
He Shuya immediately felt that his throat was dry. When he looked back at Li Xiaoxia, there was an indescribable look in his eyes. Amputation was painful enough, but it would be even more unimaginable to do it without anesthesia.
Because He Shuya relied on his strong nerves, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine at this moment.
Taking a deep breath, He Shuya said again: "Doctor Huazi, is there really no other way?"
"It's really gone." Chiba Hanako said, "And even if the waist needs to be amputated, it must be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, Dr. Li's right calf will not receive blood supply for a long time, and the limb will become necrotic, and a large area of the limb will be necrotic.
Necrosis will further lead to the failure of most of Dr. Li's organs, leading to organ failure shock, which is death in the popular sense."
He Shuya nodded, turned around and asked Li Xiaoxia: "Dr. Li, what do you mean? Should you cut it or not?"
Li Xiaoxia gritted his teeth and said, "Then cut it off!"
He Shuya nodded, turned around and ordered the guard: "Go and find Dakui."
The guard took the order, and less than two minutes later, he came back with a tall soldier. This soldier was more than two meters tall, with big shoulders and a round waist. He could tell at a glance that he had a lot of strength.
The famous soldier was the famous strongman Zhao Dakui among the more than 40 soldiers of the first battalion guard platoon, and he was also a member of the new regiment Fengtian joined.
When Zhao Dakui arrived, everything was ready.
After hearing He Shuya explain the situation clearly, Zhao Dakui immediately took out the machete and asked Qianye Hanako to disinfect it.
After disinfection, Zhao Dakui told Li Xiaoxia, "Dr. Li, please hold back." When he cut off Li Xiaoxia's right calf directly from the knee with one knife, Li Xiaoxia immediately screamed and fainted from the pain.
After passing by, Chiba Hanako on the side quickly used strapping tape and hemostatic cotton to stop Li Xiaoxia's bleeding.
He Shuya also asked Zhao Dakui to chop down two small trees and cut off the branches to make stretchers.
After a busy period, the team continued on the road, but Li Xiaoxia, a fully walking wounded person, was added. And this was just the beginning. From Liangjiang Town to Hunchun, it would take more than 400 miles of mountain road! He Shuya could not imagine that after the walk was over,
After traveling more than 400 miles on the mountain road, what price will they pay?
He Shuya's worries were by no means unnecessary. After nightfall, he realized that compared with the real deadly killers in the old forest, hunters' traps, poisonous snake bites, and even the invasion of beasts like the Siberian tiger and the Black Blind Man were nothing.
It’s nothing, the real killer in the mountains is mosquitoes!
After camping at night, He Shuya and the others really began to feel the power of mosquitoes.
When marching on the road before, the new regiment actually had to face mosquito bites, but the bites at that time were still within the tolerable range, but now, in the airtight old forest, the dense mountain mosquitoes are simply more than
The Japs' bomber swarm is even more terrifying, because they are simply pervasive.
Although He Shuya asked the officers and soldiers to find mosquito repellent and light it, it was of no use.
Mountain mosquitoes in deep mountains and old forests are not afraid of mosquito repellent grass and mosquito repellent smoke at all.
At the end of the night, most of the officers and soldiers were covered in mosquito bites. The healthy officers and soldiers were fine. They just felt the bites were itchy and unbearable, and they would bleed a little when they were scratched. But for those wounded with low immunity,
For us, the bites of these mosquitoes were fatal. Starting from the next morning, the wounded began to develop high fevers one after another.
After the onset of high fever, these wounded soldiers immediately lost their ability to move and could only be carried forward by their comrades.
Most of the more than 3,000 wounded soldiers accompanying the army were lightly wounded and had the ability to walk independently. Only the seriously injured soldiers who were injured after the evacuation from Fengtian, such as Dr. Li Xiaoxia, who had his leg amputated before, needed to be carried on a stretcher, so they just entered the jungle.
At that time, there were no problems with the team's movements. However, as more and more wounded people with high fevers became more and more injured, the march was greatly affected, because as time went by, more and more wounded people needed stretchers, and the number of stretcher carriers was increasing.
But it's getting less and less.
Towards evening, I couldn't go any further because I couldn't walk any further.
The sky was getting dark, and He Shuya's heart was sinking little by little as the sun set in the west, because a difficult choice had been placed in front of him. Should he insist on bringing the injured who had a high fever or even fell into a coma? This was only the first step.
God, the situation will only get worse tomorrow. If you insist on bringing all the wounded, the whole army will probably be destroyed in the end!
