In the afternoon of that day, Zhou Weihan came to the medical clinic of the New Second Regiment to visit the wounded in the battle.
This is the last thing Zhou Weihan wants to do. Zhao Gang was the one who originally did it when Zhao Gang was here. Zhou Weihan really couldn't bear the fact that every living soldier suffered such a crime.
According to the Eighth Route Army's past operations, many sacrificed soldiers were buried on the spot, seriously injured soldiers also died because they could not receive timely rescue, and many even slightly injured soldiers lost their lives in vain due to infection.
The New Second Regiment suffered the most serious casualties in this battle, with 154 casualties in the supplementary battalion, including 76 casualties, 25 serious injuries, and 53 minor injuries, followed by the reserve battalion, which suffered 33 casualties, 16 serious injuries, and 52 minor injuries.
The medical clinic was established when the New Second Regiment first arrived in Chenjiayu for garrison. In order to avoid unnecessary infections caused by the external environment, the medical clinic was located alone in the northwest corner of Chenjiayu.
The environment is very simple, all houses are made of wood, and the outside of the wood is covered with a layer of yellow mud.
However, the medical equipment is complete, all of which were stolen from the Japanese military hospital in Heshun. The medical clinic currently has four doctors, Li Si, Aya Oriha and two other Japanese military doctors.
In fact, a total of six military doctors were captured in the Japanese military hospital. The remaining three military doctors were so stubborn that Zhou Weihan had a headache when he saw them. He couldn't kill them, so he simply sent them directly to the brigade headquarters and handed them over to the brigade commander for processing.
The medical level of the New Second Regiment is unique among the Eighth Route Army troops. The scale is definitely not comparable to that of the headquarters hospital, but although the hospital is small, it has all the internal organs.
Because there were more wounded people this time, many temporary sheds were built in the courtyard of the medical clinic. There were fifty or sixty wounded people in the courtyard outside alone, all of whom were lightly wounded.
"Captain, you're here." Li Si walked out of a room wearing a white coat, but his face was pale, and he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.
"Doctor Li, how is the condition of the injured?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"The first batch of severely injured patients have completed operations from last night to this morning, and the second batch of more than 30 wounded patients are undergoing treatment. Fortunately, effective treatment was carried out on the battlefield to avoid more infections!" Li
Si said.
Each company of the New Second Regiment is equipped with a hygienist. Small companies have two or three, and companies with a large number have a dedicated class of hygienists. These health workers have all been trained in battlefield first aid. The New Second Regiment has no shortage of medicines.
Everyone carries a can of sulfa powder on their person.
"You should also pay attention to rest. You are the great saviors of the soldiers, so don't collapse from exhaustion!" Zhou Weihan said half-jokingly.
"Dr. Li, there's not enough plasma!" A female nurse hurried over and said.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that there wasn't enough plasma?" Li Si blamed.
"At noon, several seriously injured patients were bleeding heavily, and the originally stored plasma was almost used up," the nurse lowered her head and whispered.
"I remember that during the last check-up, I had type O blood. Take my emergency test first!" Zhou Weihan said hurriedly.
"Monk, go call the guard company over and ask the soldiers to donate blood!" Zhou Weihan turned to the monk and said.
Zhou Weihan had considered this issue when the new Second Regiment's medical office was established. All companies stationed in Chenjiayu had their blood types tested, and the blood types of the soldiers were specially registered.
Inside the room, Zhou Weihan rolled up his sleeves and Li Si began to draw blood.
"Dr. Li, are the medicines and other medicines still enough?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"If you don't ask me about this, I only have enough anti-inflammatory drugs for this time, as well as hemostatic forceps, needles, and some anesthetics. Many soldiers are reluctant to use anesthetics, and gauze is used multiple times now.
Using it can easily cause cross-infection!" Li Si lowered his head and looked at the blood transfusion bag and said.
Not long after, the soldiers from the guard company arrived. When they heard that they were going to donate blood to their injured comrades, they all became enthusiastic.
"Everyone, be quiet. Go out and line up and come in one by one. Report your blood type to the nurse who draws the blood. Don't report the wrong one, otherwise someone will die!" Li Si saw so many people barging into the house.
He suddenly said angrily.
"Whatever you do, listen to Dr. Li and get out!" Zhou Weihan glared at the soldiers and said.
The soldiers lined up and waited for their blood to be drawn one by one. Li Si took Zhou Weihan to check the soldiers' injuries.
"The soldiers in the shed outside are all with minor injuries. In the house to the west are the wounded who have undergone surgery, and to the east are those who are still waiting for treatment. Doctors Ayaoriha and Imada are treating the wounded in the operating room in the middle.
"Li Si said slowly.
The two walked into the room on the west side, where more than 30 wounded people were lying on wooden beds. Some of them were in good condition and were slightly awake, while some in poor condition were still unconscious.
"Damn it, my brother was still awake before the operation. How could he not be able to do anything after he came out of the operating room? It must be that you little brat didn't get proper treatment. I'll kill you for being such a bitch!" A soldier said
As he spoke, he picked up the stool next to him and threw it at Ichiro Akiyama.
"Stop!" Zhou Weihan roared angrily.
"Captain, the little devil killed my brother!"
Zhou Weihan looked at the soldier. He was old. His right hand was bandaged, and his abdomen was wrapped with gauze several times. Blood stains could still be seen faintly.
The tough man burst into tears.
Zhou Weihan was angry and distressed: "If I remember correctly, you were in the first company, so you should still be the squad leader!"
"Reporting to the captain, I am Wu Dade, squad leader of the third platoon of the company!" Wu Dade gave a military salute with his intact left hand.
"I heard Wang Yigong tell you that your squad was the first to break into the city, and you also took down an enemy fire point. You were very brave. The regiment headquarters is about to give you credit. What's going on? You have to take action today!
"Zhou Weihan first smiled and praised a few words, and then said with a straight face.
"Captain, this little devil executed my brother to death. It turns out..." Before Wu Dade could finish speaking, Li Si stepped forward to interrupt.
"Wu Dade, you were saved by Dr. Akita! When you were brought here, your intestines were smashed. Just one day later, you learned to be ungrateful and turned into a white-eyed wolf?" Li Si said fiercely.
When Wu Dade saw Li Si, he smiled sarcastically and did not dare to speak.
Wu Dade was also very lucky. He was hit by a puppet army's machine gun, but he survived. The day after the operation, he dared to go to the ground and beat someone.
Zhou Weihan looked at the young face on the bed, with a slight smile on his pale face. It seemed that death was a relief for him.
Zhou Weihan remembered that this soldier, named Shan Yong, joined the army when the New Second Regiment was in Heshun. At that time, Shan Yong secretly ran to the New Second Regiment's station without telling his family. He insisted on joining the Eighth Route Army, and his family even came to find him.
At that time, I saw that he was young, only 18 years old, with tender skin and tender flesh, so I tried to persuade him to leave, but it turned out that this young man was not able to get in.
Shan Yong's family was well off in the local area. He was considered a wealthy man in the countryside. He was also well-educated, but he refused to listen to anyone's advice.
"Captain Zhou, please let me join the army. I have heard that your regiment conquered Heshun County and is the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"
"You have to think clearly. If you join our new second group, you will inevitably have to leave your hometown. It is possible that you will not see your family for several years!"
"It's okay. I still have an elder brother at home. He will fulfill his filial piety for me at home. As long as he can fight the Japanese, he will be willing to die!"
Later Zhou Weihan asked him to work as a clerk in Wang Yigong's 1st Company. When the New Second Regiment set off from Heshun, Shan Yong's parents brought food to see off the New Second Regiment.
The words of the past still echoed in my ears, but I didn't expect that the goodbye was already separated by yin and yang.
"Doctor Akita, is my soldier really hopeless?" Zhou Weihan asked unwillingly.
"Captain Zhou, I have tried my best. He was shot three times. The one that penetrated the chest was the most fatal. He was infected again after the operation. It is a pity!" Akita Ichiro silently scratched his chest.
He made a sign of the cross, and then covered Shan Yong's face with a snow-white sheet.
"I apologize for the harm my compatriots have caused to the people of your country. This was a criminal war that destroyed peace. Children of his age should study in the classroom instead of dying on the battlefield. I will do my best.
Use all your strength to atone for your sins!" Ichiro Akita lowered his head after saying that.
Akita Ichiro was a surgeon in a private clinic in Japan. After the war broke out, he was forcibly recruited by the government to become a military doctor in the army.
After coming to China, he witnessed with his own eyes all kinds of atrocities committed by the Japs. After Heshun was captured by the New Second Regiment, he accepted the reform very cooperatively.
"Dr. Akita, you are now a friend of our Chinese people. Whether it is you, me, or him, we are all working hard to resist Japan and fighting for peace and freedom."
"War inevitably involves casualties, and sacrifice is inevitable. Each of us is willing to sacrifice for our country!" Zhou Weihan said, holding back the grief in his heart.
The Chinese nation is perseverant and never gives up. Especially when disaster strikes, there are always people who stand up. Their bloody spirit and courage are enough to be admired by all countries in the world.
