Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 6 Headquarters Hospital

Although the Japs have traitors as spies, the power of the people in enemy-occupied areas cannot be ignored. After all, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world.

When workers behind enemy lines saw the Japs setting out from the county in a hurry and heavily armed, they responded immediately.

 First of all, correspondents were sent to contact several nearby district teams. The large number of Japanese troops dispatched would inevitably lead to a void in the garrison strength in the county.

Even if the gains from attacking the county town are very small, it is a good opportunity to strengthen one's own strength while weakening the enemy. Of course, the district team cannot miss it.

Under the guidance of workers behind enemy lines, the militiamen successfully captured the Japanese stronghold at the cost of more than 20 casualties. The Japanese arsenal in the county town further enriched these comrades who lacked weapons and ammunition.

And because the incident happened so suddenly, the Japanese communications troops did not even have time to destroy the radio station. Several district teams left the county town with great gains.

The second step is to contact the regular army with the shortest distance near the county seat. Although we don’t know what the Japs are going to do with all their efforts, a march of this scale cannot be an outing.

 Besides, even if the Japs want to go on an outing, they cannot go smoothly.

 This group of supporting troops consisted of a battalion and belonged to the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. After receiving the intelligence from workers behind enemy lines, regiment leader Cheng Xiazi immediately verified it and reported it to the brigade headquarters.

After receiving the information about the transport team a few days ago, the brigade staff staff immediately issued a combat order to save people at all costs!

 Originally, Cheng Xiazi wanted to send out the whole group, but after all, they were the main group with an established organization. Every move you make is watched by the enemy, and every move affects your whole body.

If the whole group is dispatched, it will alarm the Japanese in the entire area, which will make the rescue mission more difficult.

After this most elite battalion of the 772nd Regiment set off, ordinary people helped throughout the entire journey. This allowed them to reach the canyon chosen by the Japanese in the shortest time without taking any detours.

 After the local hunters introduced the terrain, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 772nd Regiment knew that this canyon was full of dangers. Moreover, the Japanese chose to ambush here, so it was impossible that there was no arrangement at the entrance of the canyon.

 But time was tight and they had no time to investigate. When entering the canyon, the soldiers were attacked by the Japanese blocking team.

The blocking team originally responsible for blocking enemy reinforcements has considerable firepower. However, due to the erroneous command of the Japanese squadron leader, this team was deducted a lot of troops in order to support the frontal battlefield.

 After discovering the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 772nd Regiment, the Japanese immediately opened fire.

The terrain at the entrance of the canyon provided a natural bunker for the Eighth Route Army soldiers. The comrades who were mentally prepared quickly took cover and counterattacked.

 All the grenades and the only Type 92 heavy machine gun of the Japanese squadron were concentrated on the attack position.

Facing the menacing and outnumbered battalion of soldiers, their resistance seemed very weak.

Without the support of grenades, even an old Japanese with very accurate marksmanship would have a hard time knocking out a battalion of light machine guns under suppressed fire. The soldiers of the first battalion quickly eliminated these enemies regardless of consumption.

They were worthy of the title of the most elite of the 772nd Regiment. The Japanese attack did not stop them, and the battle ended in just five minutes.

Hearing the shouts of killing and the sound of light and heavy machine guns in the canyon, the battalion commander immediately ordered to continue advancing before he had time to clean the battlefield.

In order to signal to the friendly troops that reinforcements had arrived, he asked the trumpeter to blow the charge horn on the march.

 Obviously, this move was very effective. Almost everyone of the Japanese who had already suffered heavy casualties showed a look of horror when they heard the sound of the Charge.

Having fought against the Eighth Route Army for many years, they naturally knew what this meant, but at this point they had no way out, and the extremely vicious devils decided to fight to the last man.

The final stage of this ambush battle has begun.

With the addition of effective forces with good equipment, the transport team cooperated with a battalion like a giant crab's sharp claws, fiercely clawing at the enemy's throat.

 After suffering minor casualties, they wiped out all the Japs on the attack position. Only the tail attack unit of this Japanese squadron that did not participate in the battle was able to escape.

 After the battle, the first battalion commander ordered all the soldiers to quickly clean the battlefield and try to bring back some weapons that had not been destroyed by the Japanese while searching and rescuing. Makarov saw the friendly commander giving orders, and he walked over while supporting the instructor.

 Looking at the burning flag in the fighting area. The first battalion commander solemnly saluted the two men and said: "I belong to the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army and have been ordered to come for reinforcements."

 Poor Makarov was covered with wounds, and a grenade shell exploded about ten meters away from him. The fragments scratched his face and his ears were bleeding.

 The instructors around him were no better. During the bayonet battle with the Japanese, his right hand holding the engineering shovel was pierced by the Japanese's bayonet, and his **** palm drooped weakly.

 They can't even return the favor now.

 The two of them could not understand Chinese, not to mention that the battalion commander was a veteran who had been in the army for 33 years and had a very strong accent. However, they suddenly remembered that there was a real Chinese in the transportation team, so they took a battalion commander to the vicinity of the truck where the Yellow River was located.

Although Makarov saw that Huang He provided them with fire cover at the critical moment, he did not know that Huang He was shot. I just thought that this friend who was going to the battlefield for the first time needed to take a break, so I didn't come out.

　　When the three of them saw the Yellow River, they were shocked. At this time, his face and lips were pale, and he was lying on the ground unconscious.

 The battalion commander immediately squatted forward to check his status. At this time, Huang He's hands and feet were cold, his pulse was very rapid, and the clothes on his chest were soaked with blood.

 After trying to wake him up to no avail, he could only deal with it briefly. At this time, the first battalion commander remembered Cheng Xiazi's instructions, and the headquarters gave many instructions to let this comrade reach the base safely.

 He decided to send Huang He to the headquarters hospital as quickly as possible. The first battalion commander pointed at the Yellow River and then at the truck next to him. Makarov immediately understood what he meant.

Comrades have finished cleaning the battlefield, and the battalion commander sent people to move out the supplies from the truck compartment and carry the wounded up.

 He explained the current situation to the deputy battalion commander, and then followed Marklov to the headquarters hospital.

 Fortunately, the attack by the district team distracted the Japs, and the journey was smooth, and they finally reached their destination before running out of fuel.

To save time, the battalion commander planted the bright flag on the right side of the truck. And after arriving at the headquarters hospital, he immediately stuck his head out the window and shouted all the way.

 The work here is very efficient. Doctors and nurses gathered around us immediately after parking the car. They carried away the seriously injured on stretchers, and the lightly injured were also cared for by medical staff.

 After the first battalion commander’s explanation, Director Liu from the headquarters hospital took a shorter doctor to personally take charge of the Yellow River side. After discussion, the two decided to start the operation immediately.

Although Makarov was seriously injured, he felt guilty for not taking good care of his friends. Although some people advised him to go for treatment first, the stubborn Siberian refused to leave until the Yellow River operation was completed.

Although he could not understand Chinese, he kept staring at the expressions of President Liu and the doctor when they were talking.

Suddenly, Makarov pulled out his pistol, pointed at the short doctor and said:

 “Japanese? I won’t allow this dwarf to touch my friends!”

Despite the language barrier, Makarov's reckless behavior made the atmosphere around him very tense. The instructors and soldiers from the transport team who were going to receive treatment immediately rushed over after hearing Makarov's roar.

It was obviously not the first time that the short doctor encountered this situation. He pointed to the white coat on his body helplessly, looked at Makarov with firm eyes and said in Japanese:

 “If you don’t want your friend to die, get out of the way quickly. He has already lost too much blood!”

At this time, a comrade from the headquarters hospital who knew Russian finally arrived, but this person was a second-hand surgeon. After hard communication between the two parties, Makarov found out that this short doctor was also a comrade.

 He apologized hastily to the other party.
