After a day of fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The White Dragon Guards at the top of the city lost nearly 2,000 people, while the Langya Army suffered more than 5,000 casualties!
Although they had repelled the enemy and defended the city, which was considered a victory, there was no joy on the faces of the soldiers because the battle had just begun and the final victory was still far away.
Xiao Chen and Li Qiu personally came to the wounded soldiers camp to visit the wounded soldiers. They almost slipped as soon as they entered the door because the ground was covered with blood...
But it should be said that Yan Yunjun's medical team is really awesome. Almost all the people who were brought in and had not yet died were treated by them.
Even if the person brought in is no longer breathing, they still have to carry out a seemingly futile rescue!
But several miracles happened. A dozen brothers who seemed to be dead were forcefully pulled back from the hands of the King of Hell!
At the end of the day, all the doctors and nurses were exhausted, but none of them left their posts.
The wounded soldiers witnessed with their own eyes that when the meal was served at noon, several female medical officers collapsed on the ground, and some even burst into tears. When the meal was delivered to the table, they all crawled over!
Then he reached up and brought down the food, sat on the floor and ate it in big mouthfuls, sobbing and crying, his hands shaking so much that the soup flowed out of his mouth and all over his body...
But as soon as the meal time passed, they immediately jumped up and returned to work, their hands stopped shaking, and their tears stopped flowing...
Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, the Yanyun Medical Team should be credited with the first achievement!
Because the medical team not only saved lives and healed the wounded, but also greatly boosted morale. No matter how seriously injured the soldiers were at the top of the city, these angels in white would not abandon them, and they could even save them even if they were dead!
After the wounded soldiers were surgically bandaged, they were all transported directly to the rear. This is for the soldiers to rest better, secondly it is to free up the wounded barracks for other wounded soldiers, and thirdly it is of course to improve morale.
The combat effectiveness of an army is also closely related to whether it can effectively rescue wounded soldiers.
The logistics transportation team provided by Yan Yunjun is really awesome. The trucks are all equipped with heaters, and the outside is covered with thick cowhide felt. No matter how cold the wind is, it can't blow through, and the big rubber wheels are special. It's shockproof, there's no bumps at all when lying in it, it's just a blur...
But the conditions in the wounded barracks in the rear are not that good. First of all, the food is very poor. The front line is full of fish and meat every day, but here there is almost no food for three meals a day.
The accommodation was also very poor. There were some private houses, but they were all occupied by the officers. The soldiers lived in temporary cowhide tents, with the hard snow below and not even a layer of felt.
It's fine during the day, but at night the cool breeze blows in and I can't sleep at all...
But it won’t freeze to death. The worst thing is the attitude of the guys who manage the wounded barracks. They look at them and shout at them. They don't have a good face at all, let alone take good care of them.
This gave everyone a strange idea. This hellish place is not as good as the Wolong front line. You may die fighting there, but you can still be a dead ghost if you die. You won't get stabbed if you stay here. But I can’t stand being hungry!
Therefore, many wounded soldiers strongly requested to leave without fully recovering! Damn it, we would rather go to the front line than live in this miserable place!
This is your choice to leave. Do you really want to leave?
are you sure?
Well, let's go.
Of course, those who left voluntarily were those whose injuries were almost healed. Those who were seriously injured were unable to leave. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to leave, but that they really couldn’t leave…
In fact, this is not because the people in the wounded barracks in the rear are ruthless, but to prevent those ruffians who hang around even after being slightly injured. These guys think they have fought bloody battles from the front, and they feel that they are very great. He always thinks of himself as an uncle.
They yelled at the nursing staff, hit or scolded them, and no one could do anything to them.
And some of them have obviously recovered from their injuries, but they just won’t leave. Why the hell do you just say that I’m healed? I just said it’s not good! It's not you who are being stabbed or shot emotionally!
Everyone has a herd mentality. If someone makes a fuss, others will follow. Anyway, there is good food, drink and accommodation in the wounded barracks, so just stay there until the end of time, stay until the battle is over, and then go home to receive the reward...
This resulted in a huge waste of military resources and made quartermasters miserable.
In order to put an end to this bad trend, the military was forced to adopt this seemingly rogue method. It could be regarded as fighting violence with violence, but the method was a bit tougher and the effect was really good. At least no one is willing to take advantage of it now. The injured barracks are here, but all those who are almost recovered have taken the initiative to run away, and you don't have to rush...
"How do you feel, Eunuch Gong?" Xiao Chen and Li Qiu came to Gong Shouli's ward and greeted him cordially.
"What can I do if it hurts?" Gong Shouli said, "The main reason is that I feel distressed. After such a day of fighting, thousands of brothers have died, right?"
"Well, we just counted more than two thousand people." Li Qiu said.
"Then it seems that holding on like this is really not an option." Gong Shouli said, "We have killed and injured two thousand people, and our bones have been broken. Duan Fengnian has killed thousands of people, but it is only superficial. After a few more days of fighting, our people will be exhausted. "
At the end of the day, 10% of the battle losses were lost. It was really hard to hold on.
"So we are going to launch a counterattack tonight, will your old Gong go?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Counterattack? Are you kidding me?" Gong Shouli was shocked.
"Your Majesty is here, can I joke with you? Your Majesty will personally lead the troops to launch a counterattack tonight," Xiao Chen said.
"Ah? The prince will go there in person?" Gong Shouli was shocked, "This is absolutely impossible. As a supervisor, I firmly disagree!"
"You are so virtuous, why are you supervising an army?" Xiao Chen said.
"My lord, you absolutely can't go. If you want to go, let me go, or let Xiao Chen go!" Gong Shouli said loudly.
"Both of you were there last night, and Shouli you are still injured like this..." Li Qiu said with a smile, "It's my turn as the prince to take action. Shouli, you fought with my father in the past. "Father, have you ever been afraid of enemies?"
"The Emperor always takes the lead and leads us in the charge. His old man has more injuries than anyone else... But things are different now!" Gong Shouli said.
"It's still the same." Li Qiu said, "If we want to boost morale and finally win this battle, I must personally take action. Haha, I heard that third brother Li Feng always charges forward when fighting, and even second brother During the naval battle with the Russians, I was at the forefront, and even almost committed suicide. This time it’s my turn, so I can’t be a coward.”
"But if something happens to you, my lord..." Gong Shouli glared at Xiao Chen, "What the hell do you want to say, you kid? You are usually so eloquent, but now you don't even fart!"
