Seeing that his superiors had taken his concerns into consideration, Belkin felt relieved. But he quickly raised a new question: "Comrade Commander, I have another question."
"Just ask."
"Since we are a division-level unit, we should have supporting field hospitals." Belkin reminded Sokov again: "And we only have one health team and more than 40 medical staff. If we just rely on solid and perfect
When the defense system is used for defense, it can barely cope with it. But if you go to a new place and have to leave the fortifications and launch an attack on the enemy, there will be a large number of wounded, and the few manpower of the health team will be of no help at all. "
"Comrade Commander," as soon as Belkin finished speaking, Anisimov echoed: "I think Lieutenant Colonel Belkin is right. We should set up a field hospital as soon as possible and let our superiors provide us with more medical care.
Personnel are used to treat the sick and wounded. As far as I know, in the later stages of the battle to defend the city, our superiors provided us with fewer and fewer additional soldiers. Many troops relied on the wounded who had recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
Replenish."
"What the political commissar and Lieutenant Colonel Belkin said are reasonable." Sidorin stood up and said: "We should put the construction of the division field hospital on the agenda as soon as possible. Only when a field hospital is established can we
Treat more wounded and return them to their combat posts as quickly as possible."
"Comrade Political Commissar," Sokov said to Anisimov: "I will leave you with full responsibility for the establishment of the division field hospital. All personnel arrangements are your decision."
"Comrade Commander," Anisimov heard Sokov handing over the matter to him. He nodded quickly and continued: "According to convention, field hospitals must have a director and a political commissar. Look at these two positions.
, who should be in charge?”
"I think military doctor Pavlov is suitable for the position of director," Sokov thought for a while and replied: "As for the candidate for the political commissar of the hospital, let's choose from your political department."
As soon as Anisimov waited for the meeting to end, he immediately contacted Gurov, the military commissar of the group army, and gave a detailed report to the other party on the preparations for the establishment of a division field hospital.
After listening, Gurov was silent for a long time, and then said: "Nowadays, all the troops lack experienced medical personnel. If you want to set up a division field hospital, I can find a way to supplement a group of health workers for you."
Anisimov is well aware of the situation of the army's troops today, and it is already very difficult for Gurov to say this. According to his idea, he would first receive a group of health workers to enrich the field hospital, and then
Then slowly find ways to recruit experienced military doctors. If that doesn't work, you can think of ways to recruit local doctors.
Gurov acted quickly. At noon on the third day, more than fifty health workers entered the city from the east coast and came to Mamayev Hill to report to Anisimov.
Anisimov was quite happy to see the health workers in front of him at first. But when he saw the men and women health workers in front of him, except for a few health workers who were in their twenties, the rest were in their teens.
As a 6-year-old child, he couldn't help but change his color.
He asked the officer leading the team: "Comrade Lieutenant, what I want is a health worker. Why are you bringing a group of children here?"
The officer who was questioned said with a wry smile: "I reported to Comrade Political Commissar that I had no choice. The superiors gave me these children, saying that they had undergone a short training and were fully able to adapt to the work of health workers."
Anisimov turned around and ordered a soldier to call Pavlov's military doctor, and then said to the officer: "Comrade Lieutenant, the first aid knowledge these children have learned will be of great use on the battlefield. I am still
I don’t know. However, I do know that if they are asked to carry an injured soldier off the battlefield, I’m afraid they won’t be able to do it with their physical strength.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Anisimov finished speaking, a female health worker standing in the queue said loudly: "Comrade commander, please believe us. We are fully confident that we can carry the injured soldiers down from the front."
.”
Anisimov walked up to the female health worker and looked at her carefully. Seeing that she was a round-faced girl with a somewhat thin body, he was really worried about a 1,780-pound warrior carrying her on his back.
Her body would break her waist. But the other person was enthusiastic about work, but he couldn't pour cold water on her, so he was silent for a moment and asked: "What's your name and how old are you this year?"
"Comrade Political Commissar," the female health nurse just heard the officer leading the team call the person in front of her a political commissar, so she followed suit and said, "My name is Ada, I am sixteen years old this year."
"Sixteen years old. If it was before the war, it would be the age to study in school." Anisimov continued to ask: "Who else is at home and where are their parents?"
Hearing Anisimov's question, the girl named Ada hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "I still have a father and a mother at home. My mother now works in a factory in Kuibyshev; my father is in the army, and now
Just on the Don Front."
"Oh, your father was also in the Don Front?" Anisimov heard Ada say this and quickly showed a surprised expression: "Then you came here to work as a health worker, does your father know?"
"He doesn't know." Ada answered quite simply this time: "I haven't seen my father since the war broke out. I came here with my mother's permission. She hoped that I would have the opportunity to serve on the battlefield.
Meet your father."
"From the outbreak of the war to now, you haven't seen your father." Anisimov heard Ada say this, with a bitter smile on his face. He felt that if Ada's father was an ordinary soldier, he might have died earlier.
He died in a certain battle, otherwise how could he not have contacted his family for a year or two. He asked tactfully: "Do you think he is still alive?"
"Yes, Comrade Political Commissar, he is still alive." Ada replied in an extremely firm tone: "I am very sure that he is still alive and living well."
While the two were talking, the health captain Pavlov had already arrived nearby. He saw clearly the dozens of health workers standing in front of him, and his expression changed greatly. He walked quickly to Anisimov's side,
He said urgently in a low voice: "Comrade Political Commissar, what I need are experienced medical staff, not a group of children."
"Military Doctor Pavlov," although Anisimov was dissatisfied with the little health workers sent by his superiors, in front of Pavlov, he had to make a gesture: "These children are superiors.
They are sent to assist you in setting up a field hospital. If you think they are not suitable for carrying the wounded on the battlefield, temporarily place them inside the hospital to help the original medical staff treat the wounded."
"I understand, Comrade Political Commissar." Pavlov replied helplessly: "I will follow your instructions to properly arrange for these children."
"Comrade Medical Doctor," Anisimov continued, "set up a field hospital as soon as possible. I'm afraid it won't be long before our division will be back in action."
