Liu Zhenming thought hard and never thought that just when they came back, the Fenians launched an even more massive attack.
When he led all the soldiers back to Xinhuaxia Village, it was already dark. Fortunately, Druni of Kamloops did not send an army to chase him and others.
Maybe it's because Druni is in a hurry to save others and has no time to pay attention to himself, or maybe it's because Druni doesn't have the guts to chase himself and others!
Anyway, I returned to Xinhuaxia Village without any danger.
The Art of War says: Know yourself and your enemy and you can fight a hundred battles without danger! Liu Zhenming had already gotten a rough impression of the famous Canadian general Druny from the mouths of various white prisoners, that he was a bit cautious.
Being cautious is a good thing, but being too cautious often leads to missed opportunities. It was precisely because of his caution that Drunny gave the initiative in the Kamloops area to Liu Zhenming before. This time, he missed the opportunity because of his caution.
A chance to annihilate Liu Zhenming.
"Back, back, captain and the others are back!"
"Wow, you captured so many white pigs. It's amazing. If I learned how to ride a horse, I would be the one to catch them this time."
"I recognize this military uniform. It's the British army. I didn't expect that our Chinese Self-Relief Army defeated the British army. It's really unexpected."
"The British army is nothing. As long as our commander is here, let alone the British army, even if the Queen of England comes in person, she will be defeated."
"Yes, our leader is a martial artist who has descended to earth."
…
When Liu Zhenming heard these discussions, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter. Now all the soldiers regard him as the savior. It should be noted that manpower is sometimes poor, and Liu Zhenming is not a god. He will make mistakes one day. At that time, everyone blindly worshiped him instead of
If you object, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this time, Liu Zhenming realized that the Chinese Self-Relief Army lacked something, and that was the staff system. Even in today's Qing army, some generals also have staff around them.
Liu Zhenming only has his own soldiers around him. If there is something important, he usually summons his generals to discuss it. But if a big war breaks out and all his officers go to the battlefield, Liu Zhenming will have to make his own decision. This is obviously not right.
Okay, so establishing the current staff system is a good solution.
"Brother Li, are you back?" Ye Geyin rushed over after hearing the news and shouted, interrupting Liu Zhenming's thoughts.
Ye Geyin couldn't help being surprised when he saw that more than a hundred British soldiers had been captured at once, and then quickly reported to Liu Zhenming: "There has been no movement from the foreigners in Kamloops."
"Well, continue to send more manpower to monitor the foreigners in Kamloops Town." Liu Zhenming just chatted for a few words and then joined the ranks of carrying the wounded.
There were many wounded in this battle, and more than a dozen seriously injured people had already died on the way back from being unable to withstand the bumps.
The situation of other seriously injured people is also not optimistic. The driest house in Xinhuaxia Village has been used as a hospital and has been cleaned early. However, so many wounded people were admitted at once, which immediately made the place look a bit messy.
"Old Xu! How is the situation?" After moving the wounded, Liu Zhenming summoned the leader of the health team, Old Xu.
Lao Xu replied with a sad face: "Two more little brothers have passed away."
"Why is this happening? Are there not enough medicines anymore?" Liu Zhenming's face didn't look good either.
Lao Xu shook his head and said: "No, some people no longer want to live deep in their hearts."
If there is no will to live, coupled with current medical conditions, even if the injury is not serious, you will eventually lose your life.
Liu Zhenming can also guess why some soldiers don't want to live. They lost their arms and legs. Even if they recover in the future, they will still have a hard time living. They think that they have become a burden, so these people have lost the will to live anymore...
.
At a glance, Liu Zhenming saw wounded people lying on the ground with their eyes blank.
"Go down and do your best as a health team." Liu Zhenming sighed softly and waved his hand to signal Lao Xu to leave.
Liu Zhenming moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but he heard a burst of shouting at the door, which was also mixed with English.
"Mohot, what do you want to do?" Liu Zhenming walked quickly to the door, but saw the captured British commander Mohot making a noise with the soldiers at the door, and he couldn't help asking with a stern face.
The British prisoners were placed not far from the hospital for wounded soldiers, which made Mohot rush over. Of course, the most important thing was that Liu Zhenming had no intention of taking his life for the time being, and just let the soldiers watch carefully.
When Mohot saw Liu Zhenming, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and said urgently: "Liu, you are the one I want. I hope you can treat our injured soldiers."
Liu Zhenming was in a very bad mood now. He had no time to care about the life and death of those British prisoners, so he immediately said coldly: "We have too few medical staff, and we can't even take care of our own wounded."
Mohot looked inside and saw that Liu Zhenming was not lying. After thinking for a while, he lowered his request and said, "Can you give us some medical equipment and medicine? We have our own military doctors."
There happened to be several military doctors among the captured British troops, so Mohot said this.
"Is there a military doctor?" Liu Zhenming looked at Lao Xu who was busy inside and immediately replied: "The medicine can be given to you, but your military doctor must come here to treat our soldiers first."
Mohot had no bargaining power, so after hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.
After Liu Zhenming asked someone to deliver a batch of medicines, three British military doctors were escorted over with anxious expressions.
"Remember, if I find out that you are fooling me, I will kill all the prisoners without leaving any one behind." Liu Zhenming stared into the eyes of the three military doctors, not hiding the murderous intent in him.
"General, please rest assured, we have our own professional ethics." A military doctor looked at Liu Zhenming without retreating.
"Go!" Liu Zhenming asked a few people who knew English to lead them into the room.
After a while, an angry voice came from the room: "Foreign devil, I don't want you to heal me, you want to harm your uncle."
Liu Zhenming had been watching outside and had to go in at this time.
"Captain, this foreign devil wants to cut off my right hand. He wants to harm me." The furious soldier just moved his body, then looked at the foreign doctor with gritted teeth.
"General, your soldier must undergo amputation, otherwise he will lose not only his right hand, but also his life." The foreign military doctor did not have any dissatisfaction with the soldier's accusation. Instead, he looked at Liu Zhenming sincerely.
When Lao Xu heard the quarrel, he ran over to understand the situation and whispered in Liu Zhenming's ear: "This foreign doctor didn't lie. I'm afraid that brother's arm can't be saved."
"Little brother, what's your name?" Liu Zhenming leaned down and asked the injured soldier softly.
"Replying to the captain, my name is Liu Dagen, and I killed three foreign Japanese today." Liu Dagen said loudly and somewhat ostentatiously.
After the soldiers around heard this, they all looked over with admiration.
"Good brother, your surname is Liu, and my surname is Liu. We were the same family three hundred years ago." Liu Zhenming's eyes were slightly red, and his chest felt as heavy as a huge stone.
Do you want to tell him the bad news in person?
"Captain, ask Dr. Xu to treat me. I want to follow the commander to kill the enemy in the future." Liu Dagen smiled honestly.
Liu Zhenming did not reply directly, but looked at all the soldiers one by one, and said with a choked voice: "Brothers, I, Liu Zhenming, can't help you. If it weren't for me, Liu Zhenming, you would definitely not be hurt."….
"As for the leader, without you, leader, we would be just a walking corpse."
"Yes, brothers have no complaints in their hearts, and they died happily."
"Soldiers will inevitably die in battle. Commander, don't be too sad."
Instead, the injured soldiers persuaded Liu Zhenming. Today they saw Liu Zhenming rushing to the front line with their own eyes, and they felt dissatisfied in their hearts.
"Brothers treat me with my heart, and I treat all my brothers with my heart. Even if a brother unfortunately loses his limbs, I, Liu Zhenming, will not let him die alone, let alone abandon any brother. As long as I still have breath, I will
I will take him away, I only hope that the brothers can continue to fight with me."
Liu Zhenming looked at Liu Dagen and said in a deep voice: "Even if you lose your left hand, you still have your right hand, even if you lose your left foot, you still have your right foot. Heaven is strong and a gentleman will strive for self-improvement. As long as he still has breath, he can continue to fight."
, Brothers, I, Liu Zhenming, ask you to live well! We must live well together!"
Liu Zhenming bent down, lowered his head, bowed to the wounded one by one, and said softly: "Please!"
Let’s live well together!
The wounded who had already had the intention to die saw Liu Zhenming's actions and struggled to sit up one by one. The soldiers were extremely moved.
"Captain, I, Liu Dagen, have lost my right hand and my left hand. When the injury is healed, I will use my left hand to kill the foreign Japanese." Liu Dagen seemed to understand something and said solemnly to Liu Zhenming.
"And I, without my left foot, still have my right foot..."
"Me too, come on, just let me survive. There is no such a good leader in the underworld. I don't want to see Yama yet."
…
The wounded no longer had the same lifelessness as before, and a strong desire emerged in their hearts, that is, to live well.
Chapter completed!
