On the one hand, you need to set aside enough time to prepare in advance. After all, breaking out is a systematic project. It does not mean just opening the gap and taking the troops out, because after the troops go out, they still have to fight and eat, right? So you
You have to bring enough supplies, but it takes time to distribute and package them.
Another thing is that the breakout time cannot be too late, otherwise the Japanese plane will fly over at dawn, and it will be difficult to get rid of the Japanese tracking. And if you can't break away from the Japanese quickly, once you let go
If the Japanese are entangled, the breakout is likely to turn into a rout, and then the troops will let go of the sheep.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Xu Rui set the time at zero o'clock, which not only left a certain amount of time to prepare supplies, but also left relatively sufficient time to escape from the Japanese.
After the breakout time was set, Zhao Baishi immediately came to the medical station next to the regiment headquarters.
All the wounded were placed in the medical station, which was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
Since the materials at Jiujiang Station were intercepted, the medicines were quite sufficient, and all the wounded received timely treatment, so the mood of the wounded was quite stable. In fact, compared with the Battle of Songhu and the Defense of Nanjing, the Sichuan Army's 799th
The medical conditions provided to the wounded in the regiment can already be called luxurious.
During the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, many of the wounded suffered minor injuries such as burns, but ended up with amputation or even death due to lack of medicines. But now, the 799th Regiment has enough medicines, not to mention burns.
There is still a chance of surviving a serious injury like a bullet penetrating wound.
But not all injuries heal in time!
Especially those who were seriously injured will not be able to recover without ten days and a half months to recover. The troops are about to break through, so how to place the seriously injured will become a problem.
For things like commanding battles, Zhao Baishi can rely on Xu Rui.
But when it came to arranging the wounded, Zhao Baishi felt that Xu Rui should not be regarded as a villain. As the leader of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, this was his responsibility.
"Group seat."
"Brother."
"Group seat."
"Group seat."
Seeing Zhao Baishi walking in, many seriously wounded people who could still move struggled to stand up. These wounded people were relatively lightly injured or had recovered well and could already move around on the ground. However, if they wanted to march like normal people, it would be difficult for them to do so.
It's absolutely impossible, they still need a longer period of rest.
Zhao Baishi shook hands with the wounded one by one and said a few words from time to time.
After a while, Zhao Baishi came to the small courtyard where the seriously injured were placed.
When Zhao Baishi opened the door and walked in, the doctor who was changing dressings for the wounded immediately turned around and looked over.
Guan Mengran, the doctor who initially diagnosed Xu Rui, who had studied in Japan and opened a clinic in Jiujiang City, had forced Xu Rui to be recruited as a military doctor.
"Captain Zhao, please get out." Guan Mengran said politely, "The wounded need to rest."
"Doctor Guan, I just want to say a few words." Zhao Baishi was not angry. After speaking, he turned to the wounded outside and said, "And you all, please come in. I have something to say to you."
When all the wounded outside came in, Zhao Baishi sighed and said: "Brothers, I don't want to hide it from you. The Wuhan battle has been lost. Chairman Chiang has just issued a general retreat order. There are still Gao'an battlefields in Jiangbei and Jiangnan.
, the main force of the National Army, which is worth millions and is engaged in a fierce battle with the Japs, is about to retreat across the board."
"ah?"
"Always retreat?"
"how so?"
"What should I do in Jiujiang?"
"what should we do?"
All the seriously injured people looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
Zhao Baishi continued: "Chief Xue's First Corps will not attack Jiujiang again. It is meaningless for us to defend Jiujiang any longer. Chief Xue just gave us an order, ordering our 799th Regiment to march towards Ma."
To break through the encirclement in the direction of Huiling Town, the Chief's Department will send the 74th Army to Mahuiling Town to meet us."
"Breakout?"
"Are we going to break out?"
Including the seriously wounded people in the garrison brigade, the expressions of nearly two hundred seriously injured people on the scene dimmed instantly. Many of them had already guessed what Zhao Baishi wanted to say. As the saying goes, soldiers are quick, and for an army
For example, speed often means the difference between life and death, let alone a breakout operation?
If you bring the wounded, 200 seriously wounded people will need 400 soldiers to carry stretchers. Now the 799th Regiment plus the puppet garrison brigade only has more than 700 officers and soldiers left. This means that if you bring the wounded, the entire
The actions of the troops will be greatly affected, and the success rate of breakout will be greatly reduced.
At that moment, one of the seriously injured soldiers said with tears: "Commander, please take your brothers and leave. Leave us alone. Just leave a grenade for each of us. That is, when the war of resistance against Japan is won in the future, you can return."
When you get to your hometown in Sichuan, don't forget to send a message back to my family, saying, Yaomei, please stop waiting for me and find a good family to marry."
At the end of the sentence, the seriously injured man was already in tears and burst into tears. Zhao Baishi nodded vigorously and burst into tears at the same time. His heart was like a knife revolving. What a good soldier. They are all veterans. Once the wounds on his body are healed, he will immediately
He is another vigorous and heroic man, but he must grit his teeth and sacrifice them!
Although we are reluctant to give up, we can’t do it without sacrificing ourselves. If we don’t sacrifice them, all the brothers in the regiment will not survive!
"Commander, give me a gun, and then carry me up to the position." Another wounded man grabbed Zhao Baishi's trouser leg and said, "I don't want to die here. Even if I die, I will die on the battlefield, in the charge."
On the road, regiment, regiment, I, Lao Li, beg you, please carry me to the position."
Looking down at the wounded man with a ferocious face, Zhao Baishi was speechless.
After a long time, Zhao Baishi finally said: "Good brothers, they are all my good brothers. They are worthy of being my soldiers. They are worthy of being my Zhao Baishi's soldiers. I, Zhao Baishi, am extremely proud to have brothers like you! If there is another life in the future,
, I will definitely still treat you as brothers, brother, I will kneel down for you on behalf of all the brothers in the regiment!"
After saying that, Zhao Baishi really knelt down on the ground and knocked his head three times.
When Zhao Baishi finished kowtowing and stood up again, his forehead was cut and bleeding profusely. However, Zhao Baishi didn't even bother to wipe it. He turned his head and took a final deep look at the wounded gathered in the yard.
Then he gritted his teeth and was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, a strong figure suddenly appeared, blocking his way.
Zhao Baishi suddenly raised his head and saw Xu Rui walking in with a serious look on his face.
Zhao Baishi still didn't want Xu Rui to act as a villain, so he wiped away his blood and tears and said: "Captain Xu, I have already arranged for these wounded soldiers. They will never hold us back."
"Have you settled in?" Xu Rui asked coldly, "How did you settle in?"
Zhao Baishi was speechless and did not dare to look into Xu Rui's intimidating eyes.
Xu Rui groaned and said: "Give the wounded a grenade and let them die with the Japanese. Is this called settling? Is this how you become a commander? Is this how you settle your brothers?"
Zhao Baishi's head immediately drooped, and he said sadly: "Why would I want to do this?"
"Since you don't want to do this, why do you do it?" Xu Rui asked sharply, "No one is forcing you!"
"No one forced me to do this, but if I didn't do it, none of the brothers in the regiment would survive." Zhao Baishi suddenly raised his head and said with tears, "How can it be so easy to break out? If we bring more
It is impossible for us to break out of the seriously wounded, and we will all be finished by then!"
Xu Rui said coldly: "In my opinion, you are just making excuses for yourself!"
Just as Leng Tiefeng came in with a few wolf fangs, Xu Rui said sharply: "Old soldier, tell Commander Zhao, what are the instructions of our regiment?"
Leng Tiefeng stood up straight and saluted: "Don't abandon, don't give up!"
Xu Rui asked again: "Why not abandon it?"
Leng Tiefeng replied: "No matter when, no matter what the situation, you will never abandon a comrade!"
Xu Rui asked again: "Why don't you give up?"
Leng Tiefeng replied: "No matter how difficult it is, no matter how dangerous it is, we will never give up our belief in victory!"
Xu Rui turned his attention to Zhao Baishi again and said in a deep voice: "Since the Dameishan Regiment was formed, it has indeed won many battles. Many people, including you, Commander Zhao, have asked me the same question. The Dameishan Regiment has won a lot of victories."
Why are you so good at fighting? I will tell you the answer now, not because of anything else, but because of these six words!"
"Is it because of these six words?" Zhao Baishi was stunned, "Don't abandon, don't give up?"
"Yes, don't abandon or give up, just because of these six words!" Xu Rui nodded heavily, then turned his sharp eyes to the gathered wounded, and said, "Brothers, you are not my Xu Rui's soldiers, and neither am I.
Your leader, I shouldn’t say these things to you, but now I have to say them!”
After a pause, Xu Rui suddenly raised his voice and said: "All I have to say is, no matter when or where, I will never abandon you, let alone watch you die with the little devil!
Even if Commander Zhao wants to do this, I will never allow it, I won’t agree!”
A wounded man came forward and said with tears: "Captain Xu, don't blame our regiment. In fact, he didn't force us. This was all of our own free will, because if he took us, all the brothers in the regiment would be
If we can’t survive, instead of all the brothers in the regiment dying here, it’s better to just sacrifice us.”
"How I lead you to stand out is my business." Xu Rui said domineeringly, "As for you, the only thing you have to do now is to recover from your injuries and return to the team as soon as possible!"
