Chapter 91 The Battle of Songhu (11)
Chapter 91 The Battle of Shanghai (11)
Chen Xiuwen ultimately did not convince the stubborn Zeng Jianing to return to Wanxian. Chen Xiuwen knew that once the war started, all places in Shanghai except for rent would become battlefields. Instead of letting this little girl run around, it would be better to keep her in the regiment as a military reporter. As long as she is within her sight, Chen Xiuwen is still sure to be responsible for her safety.
"You should interview more of the wounded soldiers. They are the anti-Japanese heroes. Each of them was injured in the battle with the Neon Army. I want to visit the wounded soldiers. If you want to interview, just follow me." Chen Xiuwen did not agree to let Zeng Jianing do an exclusive interview. He was so entangled by this little girl that he had no choice but to suggest that she follow her to interview the injured soldiers.
"Okay. Brother Shen, you're right." Zeng Jianing nodded thoughtfully and said, "Only from the bottom-level soldiers can the army's enthusiasm for fighting against Japan and the cruelty of the war be reflected."
When Chen Xiuwen heard the little girl's words, he shook his head with a wry smile. You should know that most of the soldiers in the army are illiterate farmers. They usually only know that they can eat food when they serve in the army, and whoever pays military salaries will work hard. Most of them can't understand the truth at all. However, he did not want to slam Zeng Jianing's enthusiasm and took him to the health center.
"The regiment commander, the injured officers and seriously injured have been sent to a nearby hospital for treatment, and those who are left here are all the minor wounded." When he arrived at the health center, the lieutenant director of the health center, Sheng Hua, who was wearing glasses, reported to Chen Xiuwen.
It turned out that when the Youth League Headquarters was established, there were only two doctors in the health center. Dr. Chen, a private doctor in the Shen family, dug up his student Sheng Hua as the director of the health center.
Shenghua, who was not yet thirty, had been busy all night, his eyes were covered with blood, and the white coat on his body was also covered with blood.
"How is the situation of the wounded? Are there enough manpower?" Chen Xiuwen asked with a worried look on his face.
"The situation of the injured has basically stabilized. Fortunately, Deputy Commander Zheng sent 500 penicillin in time, otherwise many of the seriously injured brothers would not be able to hold on this morning." Sheng Hua said happily.
Originally, he was a little reluctant to come to the Third Security Regiment to be the head of the health department, mainly for the sake of the teacher Dr. Chen. But yesterday, the Third Security Regiment fought back against the invading Japanese Marines and repelled the Neon Army. Shenghua saw the national integrity of this army and stayed willingly. Especially when the battle started yesterday, Zheng Huaishan, the deputy commander in charge of logistics, sent a complete set of American surgical instruments and five hundred penicillin like a magical trick, which surprised him even more. This kind of imported surgical instruments was not even available in ordinary hospitals. Moreover, penicillin had just flowed into Shanghai at this time, and he bought a hundred yuan per unit on the black market. These were enough to make him see that this unit was different from other armies.
"As for manpower, it is indeed not enough. Our health center has only three doctors and a dozen medical soldiers, and the wounded soldiers were too busy when they came up. Fortunately, the medical volunteer team of Renji Hospital came to support us early in the morning. Otherwise, I would not have been able to handle so many surgical operations alone."
"Oh, there is a medical volunteer team in Renji Hospital?" Chen Xiuwen immediately remembered Lin Jingyun when he heard Renji Hospital. To be honest, yesterday's battle was actually caused by the harassed of Lin Jingyun the day before yesterday and Chen Xiuwen once again saved the beauty heroically. Chen Xiuwen himself did not expect that the incident the night before yesterday would change the course of history and cause a full-scale war between China and Japan.
The medical volunteer team attracted Zeng Jianing's attention and quickly said to Sheng Hua: "I am the military reporter of your regiment. Can I interview the medical volunteer team of Renji Hospital?"
Sheng Hua looked at Chen Xiuwen hesitantly and said, "They are all very busy now, but you can take some photos. It's better to wait until they finish their work."
"Thank you, Director." Zeng Jianing hurriedly thanked happily.
Accompanied by Sheng Hua, Chen Xiuwen walked into the hospital temporarily set up in the airport warehouse. The conditions were simple and the beds were temporarily built with bricks and wooden boards. However, Chen Xiuwen did not hear the painful moan. Because they were all lightly injured, the injured soldiers all seemed very energetic. Some were talking about yesterday's battle, while others were pointing at several nurses, and from time to time, they made a burst of chuckles that men knew.
Seeing Chen Xiuwen come in, the ward suddenly became silent. Many people who were slightly injured were forced to stand up and salute the group leader.
"Don't move, don't move, brothers, lie down and don't move. You are all anti-Japanese heroes, and I should salute you." Chen Xiuwen quickly stopped the soldiers' actions with a smile. Then he saluted a standard military salute to all the injured soldiers.
When Chen Xiuwen entered the door, he also alarmed the doctors and nurses who were nursing and treating them. This group of medical workers, whose female majority, seemed particularly eye-catching in the military camps dominated by men. Of course, the female reporter who followed Chen Xiuwen to take photos continued to attract great attention from the wounded soldiers. When Zeng Jianing's camera was aimed at them, they all looked righteous. I guess if it weren't for Chen Xiuwen's here, there would definitely be many guys coming forward.
"These are doctors and nurses from the medical volunteer team of Renji Hospital. Their captain Dr. Lin Jingyun and several other doctors are undergoing surgery. They have helped us a lot this time." Sheng Hua introduced from the side.
Chen Xiuwen didn't expect that Lin Jingyun not only came, but also was the captain of the medical volunteer team. After being slightly stunned, he immediately nodded and said, "I should thank them well."
After saying that, Chen Xiuwen stepped forward, walked to every doctor and nurse, and shook hands with them cordially to thank them. It can be seen that they were full of respect for Chen Xiuwen, the newly released young anti-Japanese hero. Several young nurses even took out their notebooks for Chen Xiuwen to sign, but Chen Xiuwen was embarrassed.
At this time, a curtain at the entrance of the operating room of the field hospital built with a tent was opened in a corner of the warehouse. A soldier who was shot in the abdomen was lifted out of the inside after the operation. Then a doctor wearing a big mask walked out and was slightly stunned when he saw Chen Xiuwen surrounded by a group of female nurses.
When Sheng Hua saw the doctor coming out, he hurriedly met him and said gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work by Dr. Lin."
Lin Jingyun took off her mask, showed a tired and beautiful face, and smiled and said, "It's nothing, we are also doing something within our ability to fight against Japan."
Sheng Hua shook his head with gratitude and said, "Doctor Lin, you are the first medical volunteer team to come to our regiment. To be honest, if you hadn't arrived in time, our soldiers would not have been able to receive treatment and good care so quickly." As he said, Sheng Hua pointed to Chen Xiuwen over there and said with a smile, "Our regiment commander has also come here to express his gratitude to you."
Chen Xiuwen also saw Lin Jingyun, said sorry to the female nurses around him with great grace, and walked straight towards Lin Jingyun.
"Captain, this is Dr. Lin Jingyunlin, the captain of the medical volunteer team of Renji Hospital. Dr. Lin, this is our team leader."
Before Sheng Hua finished introducing her, Lin Jingyun greeted Chen Xiuwen with a smile: "Hello, senior." Then she smiled and said to Sheng Hua, "Director Sheng, you don't need to introduce her. Principal Shen and I were college classmates before."
Chen Xiuwen also nodded at Lin Jingyun and said, "Jingyun, thank you for coming in time to help us."
"So you all know each other, then you guys talk. Team leader, I'll go and greet reporter Zeng." Although Sheng Hua was a doctor, he had a very wink. He quickly smiled and said, then turned around and walked towards Zeng Jianing who was taking photos everywhere.
After Shenghua left, Lin Jingyun showed a worried look on her face and said, "I heard that this time the Neon Marine Corps started a war against you on the excuse of two officers being injured."
Chen Xiuwen knew what Lin Jingyun was worried about and comforted her with a smile: "You don't have to think so much. The Japanese have always been eyeing China, but they don't have the same thing as before yesterday. They will use other excuses to attack us. It's just a matter of being late." As he said that, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's you, I just wanted to persuade you to leave Shanghai early the night before yesterday, but I didn't expect the war to come so soon."
Lin Jingyun then smiled and said, "So, you have prepared very well for the arrival of this war. The equipment in your health center is imported from the United States, and they are all the latest products, which are much more advanced than what we bring ourselves. And the penicillin here is still available, which is really rich. Are you prepared by yourself, right?"
"Yes, I just hope that once the war begins, I can save more soldiers and save more national defense power for our country." Chen Xiuwen nodded and said.
Just as Chen Xiuwen and Lin Jingyun stood together and talked, Zeng Jianing, who was taking photos, turned around and found that Chen Xiuwen and a beautiful female doctor were talking and laughing. He couldn't help but wonder at Sheng Hua who was by his side, asking, "Director Sheng, who is the female doctor who is talking with your group leader?"
"It is Dr. Lin Jingyun, the captain of the medical volunteer team of Renji Hospital, and he is also a college classmate." Sheng Hua replied quickly.
Zeng Jianing said softly, while taking photos, he was absent-mindedly aiming in the direction of Chen Xiuwen and Lin Jingyun. After taking a few pictures, he couldn't help but walk straight to them.
"Brother Shen, I met an old classmate, why don't I introduce it to me? Isn't your college classmate also my alumni?" Zeng Jianing walked to Chen Xiuwen and Lin Jingyun with a smile and said. While talking, he kept looking at Lin Jingyun.
"Let me introduce this. Dr. Lin is my junior in college. Now he is a doctor from Renji Hospital. This is my Shimei Zeng Jianing, who also graduated from Jiaotong University. He is now a reporter from Ta Kung Pao." Chen Xiuwen hurriedly introduced to the two.
"Doctor Lin, you are so beautiful. I entered Jiaotong University in the 23rd year of the Republic of China. You are so young, why didn't I see you in school back then?" Zeng Jianing said to Lin Jingyun with a giggle.
"Hello, reporter Zeng. I have only studied at Jiaotong University for one year, and I went to Peking for medical studies in twenty-one years." Lin Jingyun nodded to Zeng Jianing and said with a smile.
"Doctor Lin, you and Brother Shen are reunited this time after a long separation?" Zeng Jianing asked with his head tilted again.
Asking the question of Zeng Jianing's broken casserole to the end, Chen Xiuwen was very uncomfortable on the side and quickly said in front of Lin Jingyun: "Before, Jingyun and I have met." As he said that, he smiled apologetically at Lin Jingyun.
Lin Jingyun didn't mind Zeng Jianing's abrupt questions at all. Instead, she added with a smile: "Yes, it was a coincidence that our encounter last time hit the rickshaw I was on. Otherwise, I didn't know that my former senior was already a dignified lieutenant colonel leader."
"It's really a coincidence. Dr. Lin, can I call you Sister Jingyun? Don't call me reporter Zeng, just call me Jianing." Zeng Jianing really has the potential to be a reporter, and said to Lin Jingyun with a familiar look.
"Of course, Jia Ning." Lin Jingyun said with a smile.
Chen Xiuwen listened to the two of them having a hot chat, and he was not allowed to be embarrassed either standing by or staying. At this time, his adjutant Ma Congping hurried over to report that the head of the Zhejiang Jiaxing Security Group who was coming to reinforce came to visit, and Chen Xiuwen also took this opportunity to leave.
Looking at the background of Chen Xiuwen leaving, Zeng Jianing suddenly pretended to be mysterious and said, "Sister Jingyun, I heard that Brother Shen was quite romantic before. Did he pursue you back then?"
Lin Jingyun obviously didn't expect Zeng Jianing to ask such a gossip question. Thinking of the past when Chen Xiuwen was silly and chasing her, her face turned red and she said, "No, we are just ordinary classmates."
Chen Xiuwen quickly returned to the regiment headquarters. A colonel officer in his thirties and burly figure saw Chen Xiuwen coming in, and quickly stood up from the stool and saluted Chen Xiuwen: "Captain Chen, Teng Donglin, the commander of the security team in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, came to report."
Chen Xiuwen was startled. Although the security team was temporarily under his command, he was a colonel after all, and he was much older than himself. He hurriedly replied: "Captain Teng, don't be so polite. You are the colonel and I am the lieutenant colonel. I should salute you actively."
"Our regiment was ordered to accept the command of Captain Chen, and Captain Chen was of course the commander of Teng. Moreover, Captain Chen led the soldiers of the Third Security Regiment to defeat the two brigades of the Neon Army and killed more than 700 enemies. Promote our country's power and revitalize the heroic spirit of our Chinese soldiers. Teng should salute Captain Chen."
Chen Xiuwen looked at Teng Donglin, not as if he was dissatisfied with his age, but instead had a hint of sincerity and smile in his eyes, and hurriedly said, "Captain Teng, Xingye comes to help, Chen is also grateful."
