Chapter 315 The Problem of the Wounded
For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard became dull, and Gao Hongming could even see the complexions of the staff officers who followed Tang Huaiyuan and Brigadier Chen become serious.

He could understand the other party's mood, this was a hundred thousand Japanese troops, more than twice their strength in terms of strength alone, plus the Japanese air support, it goes without saying how difficult this battle was.

Although everyone has been mentally prepared for a long time, when this moment really comes, it is difficult to avoid the tension and excitement.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Gao Hongming said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, we all feel your passion, but the matter is not as serious as you said.

Although the Japanese are numerous and powerful, we are not giving them for nothing.As far as I know, Hu Zongnan's 34th Army has assembled on the other side of the Yellow River, and most of the 5th and 14th Army that were originally stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain have successfully retreated. As long as we hold on for a while, we will wait until Chief He has finished reorganizing and assembling the troops. We can launch a counterattack to the Japanese army, and then we can launch a counterattack. "

Tang Huaiyuan nodded and sighed lightly: "I hope so."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gao Hongming and said seriously: "Commander Gao, our idea is certainly good, but the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. Besides, Mr. He...that's all, let's not talk about this.

I just want you to promise me one thing. If the battle situation changes in the future, you and Brigadier Chen will retreat first and let our third army cover for you. "

"What are you talking about?"

Gao Hongming frowned, and said displeasedly: "Mr. Tang, do you think Brigadier Chen and I are the kind of people who run away regardless of the comfort of the friendly army?"

"That was not what I meant."

Tang Huaiyuan waved his hands and explained: "I mean, the battle at Zhongtiaoshan was fought like this, but we didn't fight it well. I, Old Tang, can't help but be grateful for it. It doesn't make sense. I ask you to live and die with Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Okay, Commander Tang, don't say this in the future. Commander Gao and I will not agree to this matter."

Brigadier Chen interrupted him, and said domineeringly: "We have agreed in advance that even if we lose this battle, we can retreat to Shanxi at the worst. I don't believe it. With Commander Gao With the cover of our armored combat vehicles and aircraft, we can't fight our way out yet."

Speaking of this, he sneered and said: "I don't believe it. The 10 people in Little Japan dare to chase all the way. If they really dare to chase all the way to Shanxi, I would admire Ningci Gangcun as a man."

After the words fell, everyone couldn't help bursting into laughter.

After several years of development, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi now has a strength of 50 million. If the Jinsui Army and the Central Army in the World War II zone are added, the total strength will be at least 80 million.

The most important thing is that Shanxi belongs to a mountainous plateau, with undulating mountains, ravines, hills and basins in between, the terrain is steep, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. Once 10 Japanese troops enter Shanxi rashly, let alone maintain [-] people Food and drink is a big problem, and as time goes by, this problem will become more and more serious, and a bad [-] Japanese troops are in danger of being dragged down.

After Brigadier Chen said this, Tang Jiyuan's mood improved a lot, "Haha... Brigadier Chen's words make sense and I love to hear them, at worst we can go into the mountains to fight guerrillas.

I, Old Tang, dare not say anything else, but when it comes to mountain climbing, we Dian army boys have never been afraid of anyone. "

Everyone couldn't help bursting into laughter. Tang Jiyuan's words were really not bragging. The third army was born in the Yunnan Army and belonged to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The mountains here are high and the valleys are deep, and the drop is relatively large. Compared with Shanxi, it is more dangerous. Don't get too familiar.

After everyone finished laughing, Gao Hongming smiled and said: "Okay, the joke is over, now let's talk about business. Commander Tang, your Ministry has been fighting with the 37th Division for several days these days. I don't know if you have encountered any problems. , If you need our help, just say it, you are welcome."

Tang Huaiyuan showed a look of embarrassment: "Commander Gao is dissatisfied with you, and I really want to trouble you. From the beginning of the war to the present, we have fought against the devils for more than ten days. There are at least 2000 slightly or severely wounded in the army. Today we are in short supply of both medical staff and medicines.

I heard that you opened a pharmacy in your hometown. I wonder if you can allocate some medicines to us. My old Tang thank you for the injured brother. "

Gao Hongming asked curiously: "Mr. Tang, how did your ministry arrange the wounded? How many medical staff are there?"

Tang Huaiyuan showed a helpless wry smile: "We have nearly 30 brothers in the third army, and less than [-] medical staff. As for medicines, there are even fewer, especially western medicines. Brothers are injured and can only be treated with Chinese herbal medicines. I don’t know how many brothers can only watch them die because of lack of medical care.”

Looking at Tang Huaiyuan's helpless and gloomy eyes, Gao Hongming's heart not only twitched, he turned to Brigadier Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, is your department the same?"

Brigadier Chen sighed softly: "Our Eighth Route Army is similar. Many soldiers are injured and can only stand up. The only thing better than Commander Tang is that we have a base to rely on the broad masses of the people. receive maximum treatment.

A few days ago we had a battle with the Ninth Brigade of Devils, and there were more than 100 wounded, and now there are more than ten seriously wounded because of the serious injuries. I am going to ask this time to see if you have any There is no way. "

Gao Hongming said without hesitation: "No problem, I have a medical brigade with more than 100 doctors and more than 300 nurses, who are fully capable of taking good care of the wounded.

I suggest that you transfer all the seriously wounded to me and let our medical staff treat them. As for the lightly wounded... I can give you a batch of medicine later, and let you go back to treat yourself. You see. "

As soon as Gao Hongming's words came out, Tang Huaiyuan and Brigadier Chen couldn't help being overjoyed.

What is the most feared thing in marching and fighting?
The wounded are undoubtedly one of the most troublesome things for the commander. Casualties will inevitably occur in war, and once the wounded occur, they must be treated.

This requires a large number of medicines and medical personnel, which will undoubtedly distract the experience of the commanders, especially now that China's industrial base is almost zero, and Western medicine is even more scarce, so the commanders at this stage will be shocked when they hear about the wounded. Headache, Gao Hongming's approach undoubtedly helped them a lot.

The problem of the wounded was solved, and then the three of them began to discuss the issue of combat coordination...
