Chapter 176 Field Hospital 2
Chapter 176 Field Hospital 2
At this moment, Zhuge Ming suddenly heard a sound behind him and immediately turned around to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a young female doctor in her late twenties wearing a white coat stained with blood walking quickly out of a nearby room.
At this moment, Section Chief Liu, who was next to Zhuge Ming, introduced the newcomer to Zhuge Ming.
"Chief of Staff, this is Dr. Hu Ai, who came to help at our field hospital. Don't let her young age fool you; she's an overseas-educated doctor who has saved many seriously wounded soldiers. We've been so grateful for her help these past two months, even though it's free of charge."
Upon hearing Section Chief Liu's words, Zhuge Ming was immediately filled with respect.
"Chief of Staff, hello." Hu Ai had already walked up to the two men as Section Chief Liu introduced them.
"Dr. Hu, on behalf of all the soldiers of the First Column of the Red Party in Western Province, I thank you for your selfless help."
"Chief of Staff, you're too kind. I'm just doing my part for my country. You are the ones who deserve our respect."
Hu Ai replied, somewhat flattered.
"Dr. Hu, when would the seriously injured be eligible for transfer?"
Zhuge Ming got straight to the point.
"Chief of staff, in my experience, it will take at least until after 9 p.m.
Hu Ai thought for a moment and gave an approximate time.
Is there a way to speed things up?
When Zhuge Ming heard that it was 9 p.m., he couldn't help but frown. That was a bit of a long time.
"Hmm... Unless there are anti-inflammatory drugs, the patient just had surgery not long ago, and it's snowing heavily outside. His wound hasn't healed yet, so it's very easy for it to get infected."
Zhuge Ming sighed inwardly upon hearing Hu Ai's words. Their Red Party was notorious for its lack of medical care and medicine, and injuries and infections were mainly treated with folk remedies and the soldiers had to tough it out.
Seeing Zhuge Ming's expression, Hu Ai guessed that the chief of staff probably didn't have any anti-inflammatory drugs.
She didn't know what to say either. In the two months since they arrived, many soldiers had died not because they couldn't be saved, but because there were no corresponding medicines. Many soldiers died from infection.
"Um, what kind of medicine do you need? I have medicine."
At this moment, a slightly immature voice rang out beside the three, breaking the somewhat heavy atmosphere among them.
All three turned their gazes to Bai Luo, who had just entered, with Zhuge Ming's eyes filled with surprise.
Seeing that the three of them were just looking at him without saying anything, Bai Luo had no choice but to speak again.
"What kind of medicine do you need? Cold medicine, fever medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, anesthetic..."
"Anti-inflammatory medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Ming interrupted Bai Luo's recitation of the dishes and spoke up.
Bai Luo had just arrived late and only heard what medicine the three of them wanted, so he rattled off so many names of medicines like reciting a menu.
Hu Ai, standing to the side, stared intently at the child in front of him. The child's attire was strange, but that wasn't the main point. The main point was that the child only uttered the word "numb" at the end. Was he trying to say anesthetic?
Bai Luo then took out the anti-inflammatory medicine that Zhuge Ming needed from the portable first aid kit on the side and handed it over.
Zhuge Ming hurriedly took it and handed it to Hu Ai.
"Dr. Hu, is this the medicine you're looking for?"
Hu Ai's thoughts were interrupted by the medicine shoved into her hand.
Looking at the medicine in his hand, he nodded to Zhuge Ming and said.
"Chief of Staff, yes, it's this drug. But I'd like to ask this young man, were you trying to say anesthetic at the end?"
Hu Ai directly voiced her thoughts.
Bai Luo nodded after hearing this.
"Great! Can you give me a few? These three soldiers are in so much pain every day, I want to make things easier for them."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo did not hesitate for a moment.
"Of course, but I have a better option."
As he spoke, Bai Luo unloaded his backpack and, using it as cover, exchanged 10 boxes of painkillers and 10 boxes of anesthetics in the system.
When Hu Ai saw Bai Luo take so many medicines out of his backpack, she quickly reached out and took them, then turned and ran straight to the ward.
It looks like they've gone to administer medicine to the three soldiers.
Zhuge Ming pulled Bai Luo aside.
"Xiao Luo, Uncle Zhuge doesn't know how to thank you. I know that foreign medicine is very expensive now. When I get back, I will definitely make up for the cost of the medicine."
"No need, Uncle Zhuge. Since I can take it out, it means I don't need it. Consider this my donation to you."
Zhuge Ming was at a loss for words after hearing Bai Luo's words.
My eyes welled up with tears. Even such a young child knows how to protect the country and make selfless contributions. With people like this in the country, it will never perish.
One day they will drive the Japanese out of China, allowing the people to live a good life, and enabling Bai Luo, a child who should be studying in school, to put down his gun and pick up his textbook.
Bai Luo...
Thanks to Dr. Hu's treatment, the last batch of wounded soldiers who had not yet been transferred from the field hospital were able to evacuate.
After Bai Luo saw the soldiers behind him secure the flatbed cart, he slowly started his jeep and headed back the way he came.
Not long after taking over the small village that had just left the field hospital, Bai Luo frowned.
He was surprised to see Japanese markings on the monitoring radar, indicating that they were moving in his direction.
This made Bai Luo frown, wondering if the position of Lijiapo had already been breached.
However, after waiting for a long time and finding that there were only a little over 100 Japanese soldiers, Bai Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It must have been a small unit of Japanese soldiers.
No, he had to think of a way to remind Uncle Zhuge.
Bai Luo thought for a moment, then pretended to be tired from driving and let Sha Niu take over his seat.
He then squatted in front of the car, took out binoculars from his backpack, and pretended to look around.
Fortunately, there were no obstructions in the area where the Japanese soldiers were advancing.
"Uncle Zhuge, there are Japanese devils ahead."
Bai Luo pretended to be very surprised and said to Zhuge Ming, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Zhuge Ming was taken aback. He was just about to tell Bai Luo, who was squatting in front of him, not to look at the snow for too long, as it could hurt his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Bai Luo discovered the Japanese soldiers.
"Where is it? Where is it?"
Zhuge Ming quickly stood up and signaled to Sha Niu to stop the car.
Bai Luo handed his binoculars to Zhuge Ming and pointed to the location of the Japanese soldiers.
Zhuge Ming immediately looked in the direction Bai Luo was pointing.
The next moment, Zhuge Ming's expression changed.
Just as Bai Luo said, they were indeed Japanese soldiers; their khaki uniforms stood out against the white snow.
Zhuge Ming now has time to consider how these Japanese soldiers managed to get to this location.
The Japanese soldiers were clearly heading in our direction.
Zhuge Ming glanced around at the terrain again and found that there was nowhere to hide.
He thought for a moment and then said.
"Turn around and head to the field hospital at full speed."
"Xiao Liu, go to Lijiapo and find out if the Japanese have breached it."
"Yes."
Xiao Liu immediately spurred his horse and galloped towards Lijiapo.
