Li Hao stayed in the artillery platoon for a whole day before leaving.
Back at the headquarters, instructor Liu Wenshan was walking around the tent with a frown on his face, looking very anxious.
"Captain, you are finally back! If you don't come back, I will let the guard platoon look for you!" Liu Wenshan said with a sigh of relief.
"Why are you so anxious?" Li Hao asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Liu Wenshan quickly replied: "Captain Zhang of the health team came to me just now. Our medicines are almost running out? Let us find a way as soon as possible, otherwise we will run out of medicines in five days!"
"No, there's something wrong here!" Li Hao was even more puzzled, and his brows wrinkled involuntarily.
"If I remember correctly, the medicines left for us when the main force retreated can last at least twenty days!"
"After twenty days, most of the seriously injured people should be able to recover, so there will be no need for any medicine!"
"How could it be used so fast!"
Liu Wenshan replied helplessly: "There are too many wounded!"
"Twenty days is the dosage without increasing the number of wounded. Now the number of wounded in our hands has more than doubled, and they are all seriously wounded. The reason why the remaining medicines can still last for five days is because Comrade Zhang Quan of the health team used them.
The result of replacing many western medicines with herbal medicine!”
Li Hao immediately thought of an order he gave after the battle ended two days ago.
At the end of the battle, the Eighth Route Army not only forced the surrender of more than 300 puppet prisoners, but also found more than 30 severely wounded puppet soldiers who had not been killed on the battlefield.
They were all Chinese, and they were forced to go to the battlefield by the Japanese. It was impossible for Li Hao to just watch them die in pain because they could not get treatment.
Directly ask the troops to send them to the health team and ask the health team to treat them together!
This decision put a lot of pressure on the health team, but it also had many good effects.
The story of the Eighth Route Army's benevolence and righteousness spread among the prisoners at that time.
Many prisoners were moved to join the Eighth Route Army because they saw the Eighth Route Army treating wounded soldiers of the puppet army.
But Li Hao didn't expect that these dozens of seriously injured people would put so much pressure on the health team, which would directly lead to a shortage of medicines for the health team.
"Drugs must not be discontinued!" Li Hao replied bravely.
"Those seriously injured patients have just begun treatment. Cutting off the medicine is equivalent to killing them!"
Liu Wenshan frowned and reminded: "We don't want to stop taking the medicine, but if we don't have medicine, we have to stop it!"
"I'll find a way!" Li Hao made a decisive decision.
After the battle, I originally thought I could have a good rest for a few days, but now it seems that this dream cannot be realized.
After frowning and thinking for a few minutes, he analyzed: "The world outside the mountains is dominated by the Japanese, and only the Japanese have the medicine. If you want to solve this problem, you can only find the Japanese!"
"Instructor, please immediately send someone to contact the underground party and intelligence personnel outside the mountain, and immediately collect all information related to drugs. I want to know where there are drugs in Lingqiu as soon as possible,"
"Yes, captain!" Li Hao's answer made Liu Wenshan calm down.
Although he has not been in contact with Li Hao for a long time, he is already aware of some of Li Hao's habits.
No matter what the problem is, as long as he takes it on, he will definitely solve it. If there is no other way, he will find a way to solve it.
In Lingqiu City, a very inconspicuous grocery store on the street is a traffic battle for the guerrillas to contact the underground party.
In a small room behind the grocery store, Tao Yongbo, the leader of the guerrilla communications squad, and several underground party intelligence officers were sitting around a table, looking very ugly.
"Secretary Wang, there is really no way to get medicines!" Tao Yongbo confirmed again, very anxious.
There are too many wounded people in the secret camp, including the Eighth Route Army and the puppet army. Once the medicine is stopped, many of these wounded people will definitely not be able to survive.
The leader of the underground party shook his head and replied: "The medicines needed by the guerrillas have been controlled by the Japs a long time ago. The only hospitals in Lingqiu that are controlled by the Japs are available. And they don't take out food. You can only go to the hospital to take the medicine on the spot!"
"The devils are too cunning. These medicines are used to treat gunshot wounds and reduce inflammation. If we control them, our wounded will have no medicines to use and they will sacrifice themselves in the end. It is really too vicious!" an intelligence officer cursed.
Another intelligence officer added: "There is another possibility!"
"In order to treat the wounded, we will definitely find ways to steal medicines from the Japs. In this case, we will be tricked by the Japs!"
"The Japanese have strengthened two infantry squads at the hospital, and the original squad is a full infantry squadron. There is also a gendarmerie stationed nearby. If you rush to the hospital to force drugs, not only will you fail, but the troops who snatch the drugs will also be trapped in the tiger's mouth.
, destroyed by the Japanese guards!"
"I think this was a conspiracy from the beginning!"
"Control the drugs, and then deploy heavy troops in the hospital, waiting for us to grab them!"
Secretary Wang, the head of the underground party, frowned and replied: "Even if you don't want medicine, you must not be fooled."
"Our strength in Lingqiu is already very weak. If we suffer further losses, it will become even weaker!"
Tao Yongbo was anxious and immediately replied: "What about the wounded in the mountain?"
"Except for the dozens of wounded puppet soldiers, the other wounded are all our Eighth Route Army soldiers, and they are all veteran Red Army soldiers. We must not let them die because of lack of medicine!"
"Papa…papapa…"
Suddenly, a rhythmic knocking on the door reached their ears.
Everyone's first subconscious reaction is to draw a gun, and Tao Yongbo is no exception.
Secretary Wang was much calmer and waved his hand and replied: "Don't be nervous, we are one of our own!"
Then the door was opened, and an intelligence officer came in breathing heavily.
"Secretary Wang, I just got some information from the puppet army."
"The Japanese and puppet troops entered the mountains to encircle and suppress the guerrillas and did not return to the county seat after they withdrew from the mountains!"
"In order to prevent our guerrillas from coming out of the mountains and threatening the county, the Japanese army decided to strengthen the troops at the Hongquan Village stronghold. Those troops were organized into a battalion with the original company in Hongquan Village to cooperate with the Japanese army to block the guerrillas' access to the mountains!"
"Because the puppet troops who came out also brought many seriously wounded soldiers, and there were still Japs among them. In addition, the stronghold in Hongquan Village has been repaired and they need to stock up on food and supplies. The Japanese army in the county decided to send them a batch of supplies in two days."
Secretary Wang's eyes lit up and he realized that this was an opportunity, and immediately chased: "Are there any medicines needed in the mountains in the supplies, and how many troops are escorting them!"
"There are a lot of supplies, including 50,000 kilograms of food alone, as well as ammunition and other supplies. The Japanese army dispatched a total of 15 vehicles to transport these supplies. There must be medicines in them!" the intelligence agent replied.
"As for the escort troops, we now know that there is a company of puppet troops and an infantry squad of Japanese soldiers!"
"Because there are mountain roads from the county seat to Hongquan Village, cars can't go fast, so all the escort troops followed the cars and ran forward. The puppet army in charge of the escort was very reluctant and complained everywhere before letting me hear this information!"
"Comrade Qian Wenjiang, you have made a great contribution!" Secretary Wang finally couldn't help shouting.
"We are worried about how to get medicines for the main force. You just sent us this information. It's like giving timely help..."
"Now I order you to continue to pay attention to this information. The more detailed the better. Xiao Li and Comrade Xiao Wang will cooperate. I will need specific information before dark and send it to the mountain!"
