The first hospital, on the operating table.
"Mr. Veselov, please think carefully. Once the operation starts, you will have no regrets." Zhou Sen and Natasha had already changed into surgical clothes.
Disinfection is also completed.
This operation did not require many people, he and Natasha could complete it, and Anna was not suitable to be at the scene.
Otherwise, there will be a lot of things to say.
"Natasha also signed for me. I also ate the fish you caught and drank with you. How can the words I said not count?" Veselov said with a relaxed expression while lying on the operating table.
"Okay, let's give it anesthesia." Zhou Sen took a deep breath and nodded. The patient wasn't afraid anyway, so he had nothing to be afraid of.
I am a quick self-taught doctor with "two swords".
Local anesthesia.
But the shoulders are close to the head, so in order to prevent Veselov from affecting the operation, it is better to let him fall asleep.
After cutting open the muscle, I quickly saw a small shrapnel embedded in the shoulder bone. I may not have noticed it at first, but the wound healed and I wrapped the shrapnel in it.
Later, I felt pain. After the examination, I discovered the location of the shrapnel for the first time, but I thought it was nothing serious, so I didn't take it out.
But this is always a hidden danger. Every time it is windy or rainy, this place is sore and you can reach out and touch it.
"Don't use pliers. The shell steel is brittle. If it breaks, it will be difficult to take it out!" Natasha handed Zhou Sen a pair of surgical pliers, but Zhou Sen raised his hand and refused.
For this operation, Zhou Sen also made some preparations and made several plans for removing the shrapnel.
This depends on the condition of the shrapnel after it is opened. After all, what can be seen on the "X" film is only the part left on the outside of the shoulder bone, and the inside cannot be seen clearly.
"I want to drill a small hole from here, so that I can use my sharp beak to push it in more forcefully..." After Zhou Sen observed carefully, he quickly chose a plan in his mind.
"Okay." Natasha nodded.
The small grinding wheel rustled and bone fragments flew. Zhou Sen carefully drilled into a hole, which was about 1.5 centimeters.
"It's almost done. I'll try to pull it out." Zhou Sen said, "Natasha, help me hold this side while I move the shrapnel first."
Zhou Sen carefully cleaned off the bone fragments on one side, then used a scalpel to loosen the area around the shrapnel, and finally tried to use needle-nose pliers to clamp the shrapnel and pull it out.
This piece of shrapnel had been there for a long time and was almost integrated with the bone. Zhou Sen spent a lot of effort to completely take it out and clean up the iron filings attached to it. The iron piece was gone, but the bone was If the cracks in the body want to heal, it cannot be done in a day or two.
Zhou Sen tried his best to make the incision as small as possible, less than four centimeters, and took disinfectant measures carefully and carefully.
Finally, his wound was sutured.
After it was taken care of, more than two hours had passed, and the time for Veselov's injection of anesthesia had almost passed.
Veselov was admitted to Zhou Sen's original ward in the First Hospital.
With his status, it is natural for him to live in such a ward, and there are people specially sent by the Internal Affairs Bureau to take care of him.
"how do you feel?"
"It hurts, but it's okay. It's bearable." Veselov opened his eyes and said, "How was the surgery? Has the shrapnel been taken out?"
"The shrapnel was removed. The operation was very successful. The subsequent recovery depends on your cooperation. If you work too early or catch a cold, your shoulder will still have sequelae. Of course, it will be lighter than if the shrapnel remains in your body. "More." Zhou Sen said, "Remember to keep warm and avoid cold or wind."
"Thank you, Doctor Steven, are we considered our own people now?" Veselov asked.
Zhou Sen smiled.
He couldn't answer this question.
"Uncle Veselov, what you need now is to rest. It would be best if the wound is not inflamed." Natasha intervened.
"Haha, okay, I understand." Veselov glanced at Natasha, then at Zhou Sen, and closed his eyes.
…
"Natasha, it's okay. I'm going back first." Zhou Sen greeted Natasha in the corridor outside the ward and prepared to return to the clinic.
"Steven, you haven't eaten yet, shall I treat you to dinner?" Natasha stopped Zhou Sen and said.
"You invite me to dinner?"
"Well, it seems I haven't treated you to dinner yet." Natasha smiled, "Just give me a chance."
"Just the two of us?"
"uh-huh."
"How about you go to my clinic to eat? Martha should have cooked at home. What I cooked today is grilled fish. You must have never eaten it?" Zhou Sen will not go out to eat alone with Natasha. He is not afraid of being intimidated by others. , but simply unwillingness.
Beautiful girls like Natasha are too lethal to men. He asked himself that his willpower is not very strong when it comes to beauty. The reason why he and Anna can still live in peace is that his reason is still controlling him. .
As for Natasha, he sometimes doesn't need to control this kind of reason. After all, they are in the same camp.
"It's just a meal, why are you afraid that I'll eat you?" Natasha rolled her eyes at him with resentment.
"To be honest, I'm really scared. Once some mistakes are made, there is no chance to correct them." Zhou Sen said.
"Forget it, I still want to treat you to a meal. Since you don't appreciate it, I'll go to the hospital cafeteria to eat." Natasha turned around and left in disappointment.
Zhou Sen looked embarrassed and then left.
…
Back at the clinic, Anna had already prepared lunch and was waiting for him to come back to eat, but at the same time, she also gave him some bad news.
"Chief Shibuya said in the telegram that the ground troops of the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army were defeated in the battle at Halaha. Although the Second Flying Group had a slight advantage, a steady stream of Soviet troops moved towards the Halaha River. On the West Bank, our original strategic plan to quickly occupy Zongheng on the west bank of the Halaha River was severely frustrated. It is really surprising that the Soviet army can maintain such a strong combat effectiveness after going through the great purges," Anna said.
"It should be the reason for the change of generals. One general was incompetent and exhausted thousands of troops. Our progress before was very smooth. Now we are frustrated. The Soviet general has been replaced by Georgi, who is familiar with the imperial army's operations. This is No solution." Zhou Sen pretended to sigh.
"Chief Shibuya asked us to collect information on the Soviet troops transferred to Tamuzag, Prague, Sambes and other places, preferably the details of the military and political officers of the troops."
"This is a military secret. With the intelligence sources we have developed now, it is difficult to obtain this type of information."
"Then what are we going to do?"
"To be honest, we are in Khabarovsk now, not in Tamtzag Prague. The current fighting situation there will at best send a copy of the battle report to the Far East Military District Headquarters afterwards. Troop mobilization and deployment will be directly linked to Moscow. "." Zhou Sen said, "What he wants, we simply can't do it."
"Do you want to report to Commander Shibuya about the bacterial weapons?" Anna paused and asked.
"Mention it."
…
The Japanese army failed to capture the west bank of the Halaha River, and even suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy casualties, but they did not stop.
Instead, they constantly mobilized troops from Xinjing, Fengtian and other places to support Hailar.
On July 15, General Georgi took office as commander of the 1st Army, which was formed based on the 57th Special Forces Army.
Although this 1st Army Group was a temporarily formed large corps, it was also an experiment in joint operations of various arms.
The total strength is more than 100,000, twice that of the Japanese army.
Both sides are preparing for another battle, and the war is about to break out.
On July 23, the Japanese army, which had rested for half a month, once again launched a full-line offensive and successfully attacked the Soviet heavy artillery position. However, the next day, the Soviet army launched a counterattack, the Japanese army was defeated, and both sides retreated to their own positions.
The decline of the Kwantung Army has become very obvious, and this crazy test has clearly failed.
However, with the Japanese army's consistent arrogance and unwillingness to admit defeat, they will not be willing to accept defeat. They will not bow their heads and admit defeat unless they are completely defeated.
…
"It's recovering well, but I still can't move this arm to a large extent. Don't expose your shoulder every night when you sleep, and keep warm. In half a month, the stitches can be removed." Zhou Sen checked Veselov's shoulder The knife on the knife said.
"Can't you open it for me now?" Veselov asked.
"Tear it down now. If you move even a little bit and the wound opens, it will be better to let it grow longer."
"I feel very good now. It rained the day before yesterday and my arm doesn't hurt anymore." Veselov said, "Dr. Steven, when you have time, you and Natasha must come to our house for dinner."
"Thank you, I will definitely visit you when you have time." Zhou Sen said politely. Veselov already knew a lot about him and had tacit understanding in many aspects. With his secret care as the director of the Internal Affairs Bureau, he, Anna and others Getting around in Khabarovsk is even easier.
At least you don't have to worry about your identity being exposed.
Of course, he would not tell Anna about the relationship. As for Veselov's identity, it is easy to explain. He is an official of the Khabarovsk city government and is responsible for production safety.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Sen has been in Khabarovsk for three months, if he hadn't missed the people and things in Bingcheng.
It's not bad to live here like this, at least you don't have to worry about safety.
In addition to Natasha, he also made many friends, and everyone got along well with them. They did not look down on him because of his yellow skin.
In your free time, you can go fishing, and in the evening, you can also have a barbecue with your friends. The only thing that is not convenient is purchasing daily necessities.
There is not an extreme shortage here, but it is difficult to buy, and the price is quite expensive, and imported ones are even more difficult to find.
Especially since the conflict on the Halakha River, there have been far fewer foreign cargo ships docking at the Vladivostok port. The prices of some daily necessities have risen. People have really felt the pressure brought by rising prices on their lives.
I hope the war will end soon, but the decision-making power does not lie with the people.
