Chapter 6 Heavy casualties
"I've grabbed you and flipped it in!"
Li Mingbo pulled in and turned over and sat on the floor. Bai Zhizhan breathed a sigh of relief and was even more grateful to Li Mingbo for his life-saving grace.
Li Mingbo disagreed and patted Bai Zhizhan on the shoulder and got up.
At the beginning, if Li Mingbo hadn't reacted quickly, Bai Zhizhan would have been thrown out of the watchtower by the explosion shock wave.
If you fall down from a lookout that is dozens of meters high, even if it does not fall on the deck, but on the sea, it will also fall to pieces.
What's more, the battle is not over yet, and the warships will not stop to salvage the officers and soldiers who fell into the water.
It only took a few seconds before and after, and it felt like it was just a blink of an eye.
After taking a few deep breaths, Bai Zhizhan got up after his mood stabilized a little.
Seeing the situation outside clearly, Bai Zhizhan was stunned.
On the outer wall of the observation deck, dozens of shrapnel of different sizes were densely inserted, and the entire observation deck was like an iron durian.
Although the armor wrapped in the observation deck was fifty mm thick and could withstand the shells of small-caliber machine guns, there were still several larger shrapnels that penetrated the armor. Fortunately, because the shrapnel was not in a regular shape, they were stuck on the armor and did not shoot into the observation deck.
In fact, when he flew out of the observation deck, Bai Zhizhan felt something flying past him, but he didn't expect it to be shrapnel of the shell.
I am really lucky enough. If I go a little bit more, even if it is only a few decimeters, I will be hit by shrapnel.
However, the officers and soldiers in the nautical bridge below were not so lucky.
The shell accurately hit the nautical bridge, and the hit point was on the right side of the bridge, probably above the side. After breaking through the armor, it exploded inside the bridge.
Looking down from the observation deck, it was like being bitten by a huge monster without friends!
The explosion destroyed most of the nautical bridge, but fortunately no fire was caused. Several places caught fire, but the fire was not big, and the first batch of damage management personnel had arrived.
"You stay here and report to the Commander's Bridge."
"Brother Bai!"
Before Li Mingbo spoke, Bai Zhizhan had already slid down the ladder.
Although Bai Zhizhan is affiliated with the squadron headquarters and is not included in the organization of the "Beihe", the current rescue of people has nothing to do with the organization.
After coming down, Bai Zhizhan discovered that not only the Navigation Bridge was destroyed, but also the Telecommunications Center half a floor higher than the Navigation Bridge.
Several people who damaged the pipe were using hydraulic shears to disassemble the deformed hatch door, which actually cut off the hinges on the hatch door.
Bai Zhizhan didn't ask much, and immediately ran over to help.
Soon, everyone worked together to cut open the last hinge, and the captain in charge of command sent the others away, then pulled away the baffle that was holding the hatch door.
Losing support, the hatch fell on the deck with a "bang".
"Hold it, put on the mask!" The captain grabbed Bai Zhizhan and handed him a gas mask and a flashlight. "Save the wounded first, and if you can do it, you will send it directly to the medical cabin. If you can't do it alone, shout loudly or use the flashlight to send a signal. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Bai Zhizhan nodded vigorously.
Rescue of damage and pipe rescue is a capability that any naval officer must master. Before becoming a naval staff assistant, Bai Zhizhan was responsible for the damage and pipe of the commander's bridge.
Put on the gas mask and tried the flashlight again. Bai Zhizhan followed the team of damage to the telecommunications center.
This is a cabin with a small area, just below the Commander's Bridge, to be precise, between the Maritime Bridge and Commander's Bridge.
In this small cabin, there are more than a dozen radio stations densely placed.
At any time, there are more than a dozen telecommunications officers and soldiers here. When fighting, because there are more telegrams sent and received, the number of personnel will be at least doubled.
The power supply has been interrupted, but the smoke and dust in the cabin has not dissipated.
In front, someone was knocking on metal objects with wrenches and other things, making a sound like a ghost knocking on the door.
A beam of light shot over and shook back and forth a few times.
Bai Zhizhan immediately accelerated his pace and walked towards the direction of the light beam.
It was a damage manager who was using a flashlight. He found a wounded person who was pressed by a falling cabinet and wanted to help lift the cabinet up.
Fortunately, the cabinet is not heavy.
After Bai Zhizhan lifted the cabinet, the damage officer dragged the wounded out.
Afterwards, the two left the telecommunications center with the wounded.
"There are several fractures and several ribs. You can take him to the medical room and ask the military doctor to treat the wound and fix the chest cavity with a bandage, otherwise it will pierce the lung membrane."
After saying that, the damage manager entered the telecommunications center again.
Five minutes later, Bai Zhizhan brought the wounded to the medical center, or to be precise, the restaurant next to the medical center.
Now, this is a temporary hospital.
The damage management personnel have sent more than a dozen injured people, all seriously injured, almost all officers and soldiers from the Navigation Bridge. Bai Zhizhan knows several of them.
Several military doctors are busy.
Many wounded people were not treated. The cabin was filled with the smell of blood and disinfectant, filled with the moans of the wounded, and occasionally the wounded were screaming loudly.
When Bai Zhizhan put the wounded on an empty dining table, a nurse-like medical staff ran over.
Don't get me wrong. There are no women on the warship, even if they are nurses, they are male nurses.
"Where is he injured?"
"The left leg was comminuted fracture, and the left rib had been hit, so the rib must have been broken..."
"There is a bandage over there, so first fix the chest cavity. The wound on the legs does not need to be treated for the time being. You can find a splint and talk about it after you are busy."
What else Bai Zhizhan wanted to say, the nurse had turned around and walked away.
Obviously, in the nurse's opinion, fractures are not considered serious injuries, so there is no need for immediate treatment.
Compared with those injured who lack arms and legs, or even in danger of life, just a few fractures are indeed not serious injuries, at least not in danger of life.
Bai Zhizhan did not delay and went to find bandages and splints.
Bandaging and treating wounds are first aid skills, and first aid measures are essential abilities for damaging the management. In fact, any naval officer and soldier knows some first aid knowledge.
When Bai Zhizhan was hitting the wounded's left leg, the telegraph soldier woke up.
In fact, I was awakened by pain.
If you don’t get anesthesia, it will definitely hurt.
When Bai Zhizhan was bandaging, the telecommunications soldier gritted his teeth and moaned in his throat, never rushing out.
Bai Zhizhan was very panicked. He just wanted to tie the bandage quickly to relieve the pain of the injured, but he made several mistakes, which delayed more time.
By the time Bai Zhizhan finished the bandage, he had fainted again.
A man!
Imperial soldiers, bleeding but not crying!
Brother, hold on and you will get better!
Just as Bai Zhizhan was about to leave, several damage managers rushed into the restaurant.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. Military Medical Officer, where are the Military Medical Officer?"
Later, two trauma officers carried a wounded man covered in blood.
When passing by, Bai Zhizhan clearly saw that the wounded was wearing a colonel's epaulette.
Colonel!?
