"...The bullet broke the connection between the fifth rib and the right side of the spine, entered the fourth rib of the chest from the edge of the heart, and was embedded in the bone. It is very, very dangerous. If it were off by another two millimeters, there would be nothing we could do.
After more than three hours of surgery, the warhead has now been successfully removed. However, we still have to wait for the test results to know whether it contains toxins. The ruptured blood vessels have been sutured, and the large amount of blood in the chest has been basically extracted. However, the safety of the general is not yet guaranteed.
We have passed the dangerous period. Mr. Chairman, generals, we have done our best, and the rest depends on God’s arrangements!”
Professor Smith tried to explain to Chiang Kai-shek in a slow tone.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded gratefully, held Smith's hand and kept thanking him. His bright forehead and neat uniform front were soaked through. Yan Xishan, Li Jishen, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Shang Zhen and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Yuxiang was relieved, stepped forward, held Professor Smith's hand tightly, and thanked him loudly: "Thank you, sir, thank you professors! General An Yi is extremely important to our army and revolutionary cause. He is a model for young people across the country to learn from and is the heart of countless soldiers and civilians."
He is a well-deserved hero, and he is also a faithful Christian. His life is too important, too important..."
"You're welcome. This is our duty and we will do our best. We all like this talented young man from the bottom of our hearts. He is honest, friendly, and humble. He won the hearts of me and my colleagues as soon as we met.
love and respect.”
After Smith answered politely, he frowned slightly when he heard the noise coming from outside the door. He immediately pointed to the darkness of soldiers in front of him and asked:
"Gentlemen, it's too noisy here. If possible, could you please ask most of the soldiers on the entire floor to go outside? I can understand their mood, but we can't delay General An's condition... My students have already realized that
I went downstairs, I need a quiet environment and fresh air here."
"Of course, of course!"
Chiang Kai-shek put away his sweat-stained handkerchief, agreed repeatedly, and waved outward at the same time as Yan Xishan, and more than a hundred nervous-looking generals immediately withdrew.
Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it, he became a little worried. He stepped forward to ask for advice: "Mr. Professor, given the current complicated situation, can General An Yi be transferred to another safe place?"
"No! Absolutely not! It's too risky to do this, and I can't agree to it." Smith quickly expressed his position.
Yan Xishan understood Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts and couldn't help but secretly lament that he was unlucky enough to be involved in such a thing. He immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Professor, when do you think General An will be out of danger? When will he wake up?"
Smith replied with some embarrassment: "General An lost too much blood, and it has not yet been confirmed whether the spinal nerves have been injured, so it is really difficult for me to answer this question. It will take at least twelve hours of observation to draw a conclusion. As for when he will wake up,
It's hard to say, maybe he will wake up in eight hours, or it may take three to five days or even longer. At least until General An is out of danger, he cannot move."
Everyone could only sigh in vain, communicate with each other for a moment and decide to leave for now.
Chiang Kai-shek thanked the doctors and said goodbye, walked to the door of the special care ward, stopped, and gently patted the shoulder of Shen Fengdao, who was standing outside the door with an expressionless face, and patted the arm of Lin Yaodong on the other side, whose eyes were red and extremely painful. He had no reason in his heart. I felt so sour that I almost shed tears.
Chiang Kai-shek wiped his forehead with a handkerchief covertly, adjusted his mentality, and ordered a group of guards to stay in the attendant's room to assist in the defense. Then, surrounded by dozens of generals, he bowed his head and left sadly.
Yan Xishan sent a company of his personal guards to guard the surroundings of the building, and then whispered instructions to his major general who was responsible for the garrison of the main city of Peiping before boarding the car.
The motorcade drove out of the hospital gate. Both sides of the road were filled with thousands of students and citizens who were eagerly waiting for news. The dark crowds lined up all the way to Chang'an Street. When the generals in the car saw this touching scene, they were all shocked and sighed. , we have a clearer understanding of An Yi’s huge influence.
At nightfall, Chiang Kai-shek, who was in a slightly recovered mood, held intensive discussions with his civil and military confidants, and ordered Chen Lifu, Kang Ze and others to immediately form an investigation team and use all their strength to find out the mastermind as soon as possible. Then he leaned tiredly on the sofa, closed his eyes and meditated.
He Yingqin, who had just arrived in a hurry in the morning, looked at each other with Song Ziwen, Jiang Dingwen and others. He Yingqin turned to Chiang Kai-shek and asked in a low voice: "Commander-in-Chief, the incident happened suddenly. Can you quickly adjust the candidates for the Jiangxi Suppression General Headquarters?"
Chiang Kai-shek did not open his eyes, raised his hand to rub his sore temples, and asked feebly: "How is the work of Wang Jun and Jin Handing in suppressing bandits going?"
"The two divisions of Yang Chisheng and Yang Ruxuan of the Jinhan Ding Tribe were defeated by the Fourth Army of the Zhu Mao Red Bandits at Qiqi Ridge between Ninggang, Yongxin, Jiangxi. Zhu De, Chen Yi, Wang Erzhuo, Lin Biao, Gong Chu and other divisions concentrated their forces to attack the Yang Tribe. In the combined attack, the Yang tribe lost about 3,000 men from two regiments in this battle.
At present, the Jin Han Ding Division has finished resting in Ji'an and will attack again today; Wang Jun's two divisions attacked southern Gansu but failed, and the Red Bandits have disappeared without a trace for the past few days; the former Sixth Army Cheng Qian's Division, with the approval of the Central Committee, was appointed by the Army Commander Hu Wendou and Deputy Army Commander Zhang Zhen led their troops from Hunan to Jiangxi. They have now arrived in the area south of Pingxiang and are expected to join the Qing Dynasty in the near future." He Yingqin replied in a low voice.
Chiang Kai-shek's face was very ugly: "Why are you so slow? Hurry them! Jin Handing, Wang Jun and Zhu De and others have sworn hatred. They will never tolerate Zhu Mao. It's just that these two army commanders have some differences in command ability. However, they were wary of our Huangpu generals and had no trust in them. Only An Yi could command them, and the officers and soldiers of both sides were also sincerely convinced by An Yi.
Alas, what a mistake. Originally, I thought that once the affairs here were over, I sent An Yi to serve as the commander-in-chief of the suppression of the former enemy. With An Yi's commanding ability and combat experience, as well as the important generals Huang Gonglue and Wang Erzhuo in the Red Army, With the familiarity of Lin Biao and other Huangpu brothers, they will be able to quickly defeat the Zhu Mao mob, but now...
Respectfully, you and Ming San can draft a candidate and immediately, in the name of the Central Military Commission, order Hu Wendou's Sixth Army to join the battle as soon as possible."
