Seeing Asiya's confused look, Sokov guessed that this must be the first time she heard this statement, so he put his arm around her shoulders and walked out, saying: "Asiya Ya, go back and tell Dr. Pavlov about this, and ask Comrade Deputy Commander of the Front Army to use the method to relieve the pain of the wounded who are undergoing surgery."
Before Asiya could answer, Sokov heard Golikov ask from behind: "Comrade Asiya, do you have enough medical staff there?"
"Report to Comrade General," Asia stopped, turned to look at Golikov, and replied respectfully: "After the merger of the infantry brigade health team and the Guards Division field hospital, our military doctors and health workers have There are more than seventy people, and although the manpower is a bit tight, we can barely cope with it thanks to the assistance of the soldiers who stayed in the tunnel."
"Thousands of wounded have been added at once. Do you have enough place to place them?" Golikov glanced at Sokov and then continued: "You know, the temperature outside is low. If the wounded are allowed to stay in the ice and snow, Here, I’m afraid it will endanger their lives.”
"Comrade General, please rest assured about this." Asiya smiled and replied politely: "It turns out that after the thousands of commanders and soldiers stationed in the tunnel left, there was enough space to accommodate the wounded."
Golikov nodded and said to Asiya: "Comrade Asiya, please go back and tell the captain of the health team that I will send the medicines you need from the other side as soon as possible."
Just when Asiya saluted and turned around to leave, Golikov unexpectedly asked again: "One more thing, I think it's strange, why are you a health team and a division field hospital? ?”
Asiya thought Golikov was asking herself, turned around and saw that Golikov was staring at Sokov and asked, so she did not speak, but stood quietly aside.
"Comrade Deputy Commander of the Front Army," Ivanov said proactively before Sokov could speak: "I know the reason for this matter. Please allow me to report to you."
"Speak, comrade Colonel."
"It's like this. Our division just completed the replenishment work before re-entering Stalingrad." Ivanov explained to Golikov: "But the superiors only gave us more soldiers and officers, but not more Military doctors and health workers lost in the battle. In name, the field hospital structure is still there, but there are only a dozen military doctors and health workers. Therefore, when it was merged with the infantry brigade, after discussions between the division commander and I, it was changed to a health team. "
"So that's it." After listening to Ivanov's explanation, Golikov nodded slightly, turned to Sokov and said: "Colonel Sokov, wait until we win this battle and eliminate Paulus's The army under your command, you have to rebuild the division field hospital. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Comrade Deputy Commander of the Front Army." In fact, even if Golikov does not mention this matter, after the Battle of Stalingrad is over, Sokov plans to ask Chuikov for a group of medical staff to re-establish the division field hospital. Get up: "As soon as the battle is over, we will restore the field hospital system as soon as possible."
These words spoken by Sokov and Golikov were clearly heard by Asya standing aside. Sokov turned back to Asiya and said: "Asiya, when you go back, you can tell Pavlov the good news about the good news. As for the post of director of the rebuilt division field hospital, I will recommend him to my superiors." , I hope he performs well during this period."
"Don't worry," Asiya smiled sweetly at Sokov: "I will tell Dr. Pavlov the good news."
After Asiya returned to the health team, she grabbed a passing health worker and asked him, "Have you seen where Dr. Pavlov is?"
"Asia, he is operating in the operating room. You can go there to find him."
After Asiya thanked the other party, she walked through the stretchers on the ground and arrived at the operating room by a familiar route. When she came to the door, she happened to see two stretcher bearers carrying a wounded person coming out. She quickly stepped aside to let the stretcher pass.
She opened the curtain and walked into the operating room. She saw Pavlov sitting by the wall with a tired face, holding a bottle of glucose water in his hand and taking a sip from time to time. Seeing Asiya coming in from outside, she raised her eyes and asked, "Asiya, how are you? When can the teacher replenish the medicines we need?"
"Comrade Medical Doctor," Asiya knelt down next to Pavlov and said to him happily: "When I just went to the division headquarters, the deputy commander of the front army, General Golikov, was also there. He learned that After we were short of medicines, we said we would contact the front army headquarters on the left bank and send us a batch as soon as possible."
Hearing what Asiya said, Pavlov smiled bitterly and said: "Asiya, there are at least one or two hundred wounded people waiting for surgery outside. If there is no other medicine, it can be delayed temporarily. But if there is no anesthetic, , many injured people may be unable to bear the pain during surgery."
"I know," Asiya added, "I saw with my own eyes that several injured people fainted from the pain during the operation."
Pavlov raised his head and took a sip of water, and said with a wry smile: "While you were going to the division headquarters, a wounded man died of pain during the operation because there was no anesthesia. If there is no more anesthesia, I will I think some wounded people will die during the operation."
When Asiya heard what Pavlov said, she immediately remembered the folk remedy Golikov said, and asked tentatively: "Comrade military doctor, I want to ask you, if you use coffee to fill the intestines of the wounded, will it be effective?" Analgesic effect?”
Pavlov's eyes widened in surprise. He grabbed Asiya's arm and asked excitedly: "Asiya, how do you know this method can relieve pain?"
"I heard what General Golikov said." Asia carefully freed her arm from Pavlov's hand and explained: "He said that during World War I, the German army lacked anesthetics and their Military doctors use this method to give pain relief to the wounded and then perform surgery."
"General Golikov is right, this method can indeed relieve pain." Pavlov nodded and said: "However, if it is not performed properly, it may cause intestinal perforation of the wounded and endanger his life."
When Asiya confirmed that coffee and intestinal irrigation could indeed relieve pain, she felt secretly happy. She didn't expect that the method General Golikov said was really effective. But after listening to Pavlov's next words, her heart sank suddenly. In order to relieve pain, the life of the wounded was endangered, which made her hesitate: "Comrade military doctor, can we use this method to treat the wounded?" Does it relieve pain?"
"In the absence of anesthesia, we can only try this method. As for whether it will endanger life, we will not consider these issues for the time being. We will save people first and then treat the disease. As long as we can save people, we will have many solutions in the future. Let him recover." Pavlov said, and took another big sip of water: "Asia, I will take a rest, and then get up and continue the operation."
"By the way, comrade medic, I have some good news for you."
"What news?" Pavlov asked weakly.
"After this battle is over, the division will re-establish the division field hospital." Asiya smiled and said to Pavlov: "Misha said that he plans to make you the first director after the reconstruction. "
After saying this, Pavlov, who was sitting next to him, was still drinking glucose water listlessly, as if he didn't listen carefully. Asiya felt a little bored and was about to get up and continue working. Who would have thought that as soon as she stood up, she heard a "pop" sound, and the glucose bottle in Pavlov's hand fell to the ground. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Asiya, his fingers trembled, and his mouth Zhang Yihe could not say a word.
"Asia!" Fortunately, a female hygienist in the operation asked Pavlov what was in his heart: "Are everything you said true?"
"Of course it's true." Asiya nodded to the female hygienist and said firmly: "I don't think Misha would joke with me about this kind of thing, right? By the way, he also asked me to come back and tell me the good news. , tell military doctor Pavlov personally."
After receiving the confirmation from Asiya, Pavlov, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly became energetic as if he had been given a shot of blood. He turned to the female health worker who was speaking and asked, "How long have I been resting?"
The female hygienist quickly glanced at an alarm clock on the table not far away and replied: "Comrade military doctor, you rested for three minutes. You have performed more than a dozen operations in a row, and you need to rest for at least a quarter of an hour before you can barely do it." Physical recovery."
"No need, I think I can still hold on." Pavlov, who looked energetic, waved his hand at the other party and said in a commanding tone: "Let the stretcher bearers outside carry the new wounded in. We can't keep the wounded waiting too long. I will try my best to complete all the operations before dawn tomorrow."
Although Asiya knew that there was more than one place for surgery, there were too many wounded people outside. Even if the military doctors and supporting military doctors worked overtime, they could not finish the work in three hours. She quickly asked Pavlov for help: "Comrade medic, I have nothing to do now. Please allow me to also operate on the wounded."
"This is great, Comrade Asiya." Seeing that Asiya was willing to help, Pavlov was very pleased. He pointed to the side with his hand and said: "The operating room next door is still empty. You can find two An assistant, let’s carry out the operation there.”
The new wounded man was quickly brought in, and the female health worker asked Pavlov: "Comrade military doctor, this wounded man is seriously injured. If there is no anesthesia, I am worried that he will not be able to get off the operating table."
Pavlov thought for a while and then said to the female health worker: "You must have heard what Asiya just said, right? Just use coffee and bowels to relieve pain for the wounded." As he said that, he raised his hand to the station. The stretcher bearer next to him pointed, "You two help turn the wounded man over so that the health worker can pour him coffee."
The stretcher bearers had a blank expression on their faces when they heard Pavlov's somewhat incomprehensible order. However, they still followed the other party's order to the letter and carefully turned the wounded man over.

In order to ensure that the medicines from the other side could be delivered as soon as possible, Golikov personally called Yeremenko and told him that Sokov urgently needed medicines to treat the wounded. As soon as Yeremenko put down the phone, he ordered the logistics minister to withdraw a truckload of medicines from the warehouse and immediately send a truck to Mamayev Heights.
Sokov originally thought that even if Golikov personally took action regarding the replenishment of medicines, it would take a day or two to receive the replenishment of medicines from his superiors. Unexpectedly, less than two hours after the call was made, the observation post outside reported that a truck coming from the other side was spotted, heading towards Mamayev Heights.
Sokov guessed that medicine might have arrived, but to be on the safe side, he still ordered the observation post: "Send two people to greet them, find out what is in the car, and report to me in time."
"Comrade Commander," Sidorin took the initiative to say to Sokov when he waited for him to put down the phone: "I think the medicine has been delivered. Can you ask Major Tenev to wait outside with someone? If it is medicine, we can send it as soon as possible." Send it to the health team.”
"Okay." Considering that if the health team cannot obtain medicines in time, many wounded people may die, Sokov agreed to Sidorin's proposal: "Let Major Tenev lead a company to wait outside for transportation. As soon as the medicine truck arrives, it will be sent to the health team immediately.”
"Comrade Commander," Sokov had just arranged for Tenev to take the security company out to receive medicines. Political Commissar Anisimov hurried in from outside and said excitedly: "I just came back from the health team. What do you think I saw?"
Sokov didn't know what he saw, so he casually asked: "What did you see?"
"I just went to see military doctor Pavlov for an operation," Anisimov said hurriedly: "I heard from the hygienist that he has performed more than thirty operations today. Usually, military doctors perform such operations in succession. After many surgeries, I was already too tired to move. But I saw Military Doctor Pavlov, like a tireless machine, he kept operating on the wounded one after another. Even the health worker asked him to take a rest. , he refused."
After listening to Anisimov's words, Golikov chuckled and said to Sokov: "Colonel Sokov, I really didn't expect that the good news you asked Comrade Asiya to bring back can actually make you It’s really not easy for the military doctors to work so hard.”
Sokov guessed that it must be his suggestion to let Pavlov serve as the director of the field hospital, which made the other party as excited as if he had been given a shot of blood. However, out of love for him, Sokov felt that some things should be stopped in moderation. After all, people are not machines. If Pavlov is really exhausted, the medical level of the health team will probably drop a lot. So he said to Anisimov: "Comrade Political Commissar, please go to the health team again."
