"Knife, open your eyes and see who I am?"
"Tuan, Tuan seat!"
"Very good, remember, this is my order, you are not allowed to die, I still need you. Carry him down immediately for rescue."
At the Chongteng detachment camp, the Dragon Boat Festival awakened Daozi who had fallen asleep several times. Knife was weak but still conscious.
Duanwu ordered two soldiers from the Special First Company to carry knives and rush to the rescue.
Xie Jinyuan said with a worried look on his face: "Tuanzuo, the injury from the knife is too serious."
"You can't die even if it's too heavy. Daozi killed thirteen Japs by himself. He used his own life to block Shigeto Chiaki, otherwise he would have let that old Japs run away. Damn it!"
Dragon Boat Festival was angry. If he could resolve the battle faster, the knife would not be so seriously injured. Not to mention almost dying at the hands of Shigeto Chiaki.
So Duan Wu was angry because of self-blame, not because of Xie Jinyuan.
But Xie Jinyuan didn't know and thought he had said the wrong thing. I don’t even know what I should say to comfort Dragon Boat Festival. Moreover, he also has bad news to tell Duanwu.
But looking at Tuan Zuo's current state, he couldn't say anything, so he could only report the matter later.
However, at this time, Duanwu asked: "What are the casualties of the troops? Have the Japanese been wiped out, or have they escaped?"
Xie Jinyuan said quickly: "The specific casualties are still unclear. The soldiers are still cleaning the battlefield. And there are still some pursuing troops who have not returned.
The report I have received now is that all the Japanese troops of the Chongteng detachment, including the Second Japanese Army, except the 3rd Infantry Regiment, have been wiped out. His baggage troops and artillery units were also almost completely wiped out. Less than a hundred people were able to escape.
The first regiment of the Japanese army broke out and had almost as many troops as a brigade, probably eight or nine hundred people.
The Second Wing also broke out and broke out about two squadrons. One of them ran south and the other ran north.
Our army pursued them for about two miles, and I ordered people to call them back. "
Duanwu nodded and said: "Yes, this battle is already a very good result. I didn't expect that this battle could be fought so smoothly. How many people do we have? The independent regiment, plus the 79th Brigade, plus the 174th division, a total of more than 8,000 people.
But the little devil has a detachment. Three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, plus one baggage regiment, the total number of people is at least 9,000.
Huh, but now, only one tenth of the little devils can escape. Shigeto Chiaki asked me to do it again. It can be said that the Shigeto detachment has been wiped out from the territory of China. "
"Yes, Tuanzao, this battle can be described as a complete victory."
Xie Jinyuan also echoed from the side. But at this moment, someone behind Duan Wu called out: "Special Commissioner?"
When Duanwu turned around, he saw Zhong Jiushan walking over quickly with his wife, daughter, his adjutant and others.
Zhong Jiushan hurriedly walked up to Duanwu, grabbed Duanwu's hand and said, "Thank you, special commissioner. Without you, my wife and daughter would have been killed by the Japs. Thank you for taking the risk to sneak into the enemy to rescue people."
I, I, I kneel down for you..."
The more Zhong Jiushan talked, the more excited he became. He bent his knees to kneel down to Duanwu and thank him for saving his life.
But Zhong Jiushan cannot be made to kneel down during the Dragon Boat Festival. He is the leader of a division. I will also lead troops in the future. He supported Zhong Jiushan and said, "Mr. Zhong is in serious condition, and I want to say sorry. I couldn't save the old man and the old lady."
Zhong Jiushan closed his eyes tightly, and two lines of heat surged down. The voice was choked with sobs: "Special Commissioner, I am already very grateful. If it weren't for you, my wife and daughter would have died in the hands of the little devil...I,..."
Zhong Jiushan was so choked up that he could no longer speak.
At this time, he felt that he had too few words to be grateful. He couldn't express it with his own actions, so he could only pull his daughter and said: "Kneel down quickly, my benefactor. Without the special commissioner, how can our family be reunited?"
Zhong Jiushan's daughter was a little timid, but she still knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Dragon Boat Festival: "Thank you, uncle."
"Get up, get up,...uh,..."
Duanwu leaned over to help Zhong Jiushan's daughter up.
Originally, this should be a normal action. But during the Dragon Boat Festival squat, his left leg suddenly refused to obey and he knelt on the ground on one knee. Dragon Boat Festival's body also shook a bit.
"What's wrong with you, Tuanzuo?"
"Special correspondent?"
Xie Jinyuan and Zhong Jiushan quickly supported Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, they saw a hole in Duanwu's left calf, accompanied by a large amount of blood.
No one noticed it before because Dragon Boat Festival was covered in blood. The blood was his own and that of the Japanese. So no one knew that Dragon Boat Festival's calf was also injured.
And Duanwu didn't know, otherwise he would definitely find a time to deal with the wound. And he had never felt pain before.
Maybe he had felt it, but he had forgotten it. Because he had been fighting with the Japanese, and he was rewarded heavily with the knife, so he came back with the knife on his back.
So it can be said that his attention was not on himself, so he didn't notice the injury on his calf at all.
Xie Jinyuan and Zhong Jiushan worked together to help Duanwu into Chongteng Qianqiu's military tent. Duanwu sat on the chair, and Xie Jinyuan went to touch Duanwu's legs.
Duanwu bared his teeth and smiled, Xie Jinyuan quickly stopped. Because he saw the pain hidden in Duanwu's forced smile.
Zhong Jiushan said quickly: "I'm going to find a military doctor right now."
"Don't go. There are so many serious injuries now. The military doctors must be too busy. We can take care of my minor injury. Tear your trouser legs open and let me see what's going on."
Duanwu ordered, and then pulled out a bayonet from the boot on his right side.
Xie Jinyuan looked at the bayonet, and he could only do it. Zhong Jiushan took action. Zhong Jiushan's wife, daughter, Zhong Jiushan's adjutant and others could only watch from the sidelines.
Xie Jinyuan used a bayonet to cut open the blood-covered trouser legs bit by bit, finally revealing the wound on Duanwu's leg. The wound was as big as the pads of two thumbs and was covered in coagulated blood.
There was blood all around, and at least one circle of his calf was swollen.
"What kind of injury is this? A bullet?"
Zhong Jiushan guessed on the sidelines. Xie Jinyuan is not sure either. And he felt like there was something inside the wound.
"I need an operation. Find some anesthetic."
Xie Jinyuan turned back to look at Zhong Jiushan. Zhong Jiushan nodded quickly, turned around and left.
"What kind of anesthetic are you looking for? Anesthetics are reserved for the seriously injured. There is no need for anesthetics for this minor injury."
Duanwu stopped Zhong Jiushan, and then looked around the military tent. He pointed to the horseshoe lamp on the table and the half bottle of Japanese wine and said, "These two things are enough."
Xie Jinyuan took one look and could only run over and get the two things back.
He knows how to use these things. He also did this when there were no medical soldiers or medicines. And secretly gave Zhong Jiushan a wink. It means asking him to get some gold sore medicine back quickly.
Zhong Jiushan understood and did not dare to say anything anymore. He just made another gesture to his adjutant.
The adjutant left and Danwu began to receive medical treatment.
Xie Jinyuan was still a veteran. He rinsed the wound with white wine and disinfected the bayonet on the fire.
When the blade of the knife was tempered to a blue luster, he took it off and said to Duanwu, "Tuanzuo, I'm going to cut it, it might hurt a little."
puff!
Duan Wu blew a breath silently and thought to himself: Are you lying to a three-year-old child? Does that hurt a little?
But Duanwu still said: "It's okay, just do it!"
Xie Jinyuan nodded, put the bayonet on Duanwu's wound, and blood spurted out with a pop.
Zhong Jiushan's daughter was so frightened that she hid in her mother's arms. Zhong Jiushan's wife covered her daughter's eyes with her hands. And she turned her head away, not daring to look.
Because this was equivalent to using a knife to cut open a person's flesh, she shuddered just thinking about the pain.
Dragon Boat Festival's painful hands grabbed the armrests of the chair, causing the two armrests to make a clicking sound.
Xie Jinyuan said worriedly: "The group seat."
"Stop talking nonsense and do it quickly."
Dragon Boat Festival squeezed out a few words from the gap between his teeth. Xie Jinyuan didn't dare to ask any more questions, and the knife searched the flesh for the foreign objects that had been driven into Duan Wu's body.
But the foreign object was penetrated very deep, and even after being gouged out twice, it was not come out.
Xie Jinyuan was so anxious that he was sweating all over, and he was bleeding heavily during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Xie Jinyuan's hands began to shake, and he began to panic in his heart. After all, he was not a doctor, and the amount of bleeding during Dragon Boat Festival was so heavy.
The nervousness caused his forehead to be covered with sweat for a moment, and he did not dare to use the knife easily again.
"Don't be afraid, you won't die, just dig deeper."
Duanwu saw Xie Jinyuan's timidity and loudly ordered him not to be nervous.
Xie Jinyuan kept wiping his sweat with his cuffs. Although he knew he shouldn't be nervous, two misses still made him lose confidence.
Xie Jinyuan looked at Zhong Jiushan, who did not dare to make a move. He might as well be Xie Jinyuan. As a regimental deputy, Xie Jinyuan was often with the soldiers, so he had to do a lot of things like treating wounds.
But what about Zhong Jiushan? He is a division commander, and he has not worked with the soldiers on the front line for countless years.
And even if there was, he wouldn't dare to do it.
Duanwu had no choice but to do it himself. He poured the remaining wine on his injured left leg, took the knife from Xie Jinyuan's hand, and stabbed it into his wound.
"Well!"
The knife pierced into the flesh, and the severe pain caused all the muscles in Duan Wu's body to tighten. His expression was stiff, and his body paused for about a second, and he didn't dare to move for a long time.
"Group seat?"
Xie Jinyuan really didn't want to see Duanwu in such pain, he almost cried.
"It's okay, it just hurts a little."
Duanwu said through gritted teeth, and then with a force, he pulled out a piece of black-gray shrapnel that had been driven into his body.
At this time, Duanwu remembered what this piece of shrapnel was about.
In the process of chasing Shigeto Chiaki, he fought fiercely with seventeen Shigeto Chiaki's guards and was finally forced under a big tree.
At that time, the Japanese shouted to throw grenades.
Danwu learned Japanese and knew the meaning of grenades.
Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, he climbed into the tree in desperation. It should be while he was climbing up the tree. Shrapnel penetrated his calf.
But he was in a fierce battle with the Japanese army at the time, and Duanwu didn't even notice that he was injured. I only felt pain when I jumped off the tree.
But at that time, Japanese Japs Koizumi pretended to be Chiaki Shigeto and ran all the way south, and Dragon Boat Festival had no time to care about where the pain came from. And he kept running fast. As a result, the wound temporarily lost consciousness. Until we returned to the camp.
puff!
At this time, along with the shrapnel, a large amount of blood also spurted out.
Dragon Boat Festival was so painful that he threw away the knife. At this time, Xie Jinyuan quickly said: "Medicine, golden sore medicine."
"I'm coming!"
At this time, Zhong Jiushan quickly took the medicine and quickly sprinkled it on Duanwu's wounds.
But due to the heavy bleeding, the medicine was washed away all at once.
"Quick! Quick!"
Xie Jinyuan said loudly. Zhong Jiushan poured all the medicine into his hands, and then pressed it all on Duanwu's wounds.
"ah!"
The wound was squeezed and the stimulation from the golden sore medicine made Duan Wu almost faint from the pain.
"Okay, it'll be ready soon!"
Xie Jinyuan comforted Duanwu and quickly wrapped Duanwu's legs with gauze.
The bleeding stopped, and everyone present let out a long breath as if they were exhausted.
Duanwu sat on the chair and didn't want to move for a long time. Tired and injured, he wanted to take a nap.
Xie Jinyuan saw the fatigue of the Dragon Boat Festival and motioned for everyone to go out and let the group rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the tent door curtain was suddenly opened, and soldiers carried a man in.
"Third brother!"
The people on the stretcher cried for third brother when they came in.
No need to ask, this person is Sun Boan. Because in the entire army, he was the only one who called the Dragon Boat Festival Third Brother.
Sun Boan was injured. He was hit on the shoulder by a Japs bullet, and then he lay on a stretcher.
And this is what Xie Jinyuan wants to talk to Duanwu. Just after the battle, the 79th Brigade became extremely war-weary.
In addition to Sun Boan being injured, another reason was that the former third regiment commander of the 79th Brigade was killed in action.
All three commanders of the 79th Brigade were killed in action, and two of them died in Xiajiawan, the original position of the 40th Division.
At that time, the Dragon Boat Festival ordered them to stay until night and retreat under the cover of darkness. In that battle, the 79th Brigade was reduced from three regiments to one and a half regiments.
In the battle of Xiejiaqiao, the 79th Brigade suffered another 400 casualties. There were nearly two hundred people fighting in Changshu. In the battle of Yushan, there were more than 400 casualties. In total, there were only about 500 people left in the entire brigade, including the wounded.
As a result, the officers and soldiers of the 79th Brigade became extremely war-weary. And this kind of war-weariness has already appeared in Changshu. It was Duanwu who told them that Yushan was their last battle that they became quiet.
In today's battle, the 79th Brigade suffered heavy casualties again and lost nearly half of its troops. Even Sun Boan wanted to leave. So he just got shot in the shoulder and laid out on a stretcher.
Xie Jinyuan knew about this, but because Duanwu was injured, he had not had time to report it. But unexpectedly, Sun Boan was carried here by his people.
When Sun Bo'an saw the Dragon Boat Festival, he cried: "Third brother, are you also injured? Are we brothers really connected by the same fate? Third brother, I can't live anymore. My brothers are all dead. More than five thousand brothers are now dead." There are less than five hundred people, Third Brother? Third Brother?"
Duanwu knew that Sun Boyan was faking it. This kid has no intelligence, and he doesn't look like he's playing a trick.
Duanwu got up from his chair and stood up.
"Duanzao!"
"Special Commissioner, you can't move!"
Xie Jinyuan and Zhong Jiushan were nervous because Duanwu's wound had just been bandaged and they couldn't move like this. Logically speaking, if Duanwu suffered such an injury, he should be sent to the rear hospital for recuperation.
Duanwu waved his hand, signaling Zhong Jiushan and Xie Jinyuan not to help him.
Duanwu had no expression on his face and shouted at Sun Bo'an who was lying on the stretcher: "Stand up for me!"
"Why!"
Sun Boan is a big man, standing a head taller than Duanwu, with a strong back and a strong waist. But in front of the Dragon Boat Festival, he obeyed his words.
He rolled off the stretcher and stood upright.
Duanwu said loudly: "As a soldier, you must maintain the integrity and dignity of a soldier no matter what time or place you are. What is there to cry about? I said that the Battle of Yushan was the last battle for your brothers. I I won’t regret it during the Dragon Boat Festival.”
With that said, Duanwu walked to the desk, used the pen on the desk to brush a few words on a blank piece of paper, then turned around and handed it to Sun Bo'an and said: "Take this note and go to the back. Go ahead. If anyone stops you, just say it was my order."
Sun Boan looked at the note in his hand. Although he was illiterate, he knew that his third brother would not lie to him. And to put it bluntly, he was a little reluctant to part with the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Third brother, you are also injured. How about we go together?"
Sun Boan bowed with a pleading look on his face.
Duanwu patted Sun Boan on the shoulder and said: "Brother, the third brother is different from you. The third brother is a special commissioner. It is impossible for me to leave until the battle on the Wufu line is over. You take the brothers and leave!"
Having said this, Duanwu looked around him again and found that there was no old abacus. He shouted loudly: "Old Abacus!"
"I'm coming!"
Outside the tent, there was the voice of Old Abacus. Within five steps. Except for fighting, he is always by Dragon Boat Festival's side.
Duanwu asked: "How many gold bars are there?"
The old abacus thought for a while and said: "There are still two hundred and forty."
"Give it all to Sun Boan."
"Group seat? Haha, haha!"
Before Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, Lao Baanpan started to giggle. He seemed to be saying: "The money has been given to others, so what should we do?"
"Third brother, we can't take this money."
Sun Bo'an also likes money, but he is more loyal. What's more, Dragon Boat Festival has already given him a lot of money.
Duanwu patted Sun Boan on the shoulder and said: "Brother, I know your difficulties. Your troops are all brothers who have been following you. Don't treat them badly. Dead or alive, don't let them bleed or shed tears." Take your people and go to the rear to take a good rest."
"Third brother, I...you are my third brother. My brother is waiting for you at the back."
Sun Bo'an held back his tears, hugged Duanwu, turned around and left without looking back. He was afraid that when he looked back, he would never want to leave again.
Duanwu gestured to Lao Baanpan, and Lao Baanpan could only follow him out.
But at this time, Xie Jinyuan said: "Regiment leader, Sun Boan, you should not let him go. Once he leaves, the morale of the army may not be stable."
Duanwu shook his head and said: "As an officer, the last thing you can do is to break your promise. If you break your promise, then I'm afraid no one will listen to your next order. I promised Sun Bo'an that after this battle is over, he can leave. I This promise must be fulfilled. As for the consequences, let’s wait until later!..."
