Chapter 238: Wounded, Hero!
Wei Dayong paused for a moment and looked sideways in the direction of the sound.
Two or three meters away, a female Eighth Route Army woman leaning on a cane, with short hair and bangs, and wearing a gray patched military uniform looked at him with a smile on her face.
Wei Dayong smiled and greeted: "Isn't this Captain Liang, who is still so happy after losing the lottery?"
This female Eighth Route Army was Liang Shan, the captain of the Xiangyuan County Brigade whom she had met in Yaojiayu. She also led the County Brigade and the special operations battalion to fight against the Japanese troops in Xia Dian as an assist.
Also serving as an assist was Xiao Qi's guerrilla team.
At that time, the county brigade and the guerrillas seized a lot of guns and ammunition, which was a little fat. I didn't expect to see her here again.
Liang Shan is a typical female Eighth Route Army figure. She has a shell gun in her left hand and a grenade in her right hand. She can fight Japanese soldiers more fiercely than men.
The heroine of the spy drama "Insidious" is also of this type.
"Should I cry if I'm not happy?" Liang Shan said, "Here's the battalion commander. Are there any people who can bury people like you?"
Liangshan didn't expect to see Wei Dayong here either.
During the Japanese raids, Liangshan led the county brigade to protect the people from entering the mountains. Unexpectedly, the team was bitten by the Japanese, and she and others suffered serious injuries.
Wei Dayong said: "This is not a nuisance. I admire Captain Liang's optimistic attitude. He can still laugh even after being seriously injured, but not many people."
Those who can be treated at the headquarters field hospital are all seriously wounded, while most of the lightly wounded are recuperating in the army.
The slightly wounded members of the independent regiment have been returning to the army one after another in the past few days after being treated by doctors, but they will not be allowed to go to the battlefield in the short term.
Liang Shan smiled and tucked the short hair on his forehead behind his ears without commenting.
Wei Dayong stretched out his hand towards Yang Dahe. Yang Dahe was stunned for a moment. Wei Dayong pointed towards the sack with his eyes. Only then did he react and took out two cans from the sack and handed them to Wei Dayong's hand.
"for you."
Wei Dayong took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand in front of Captain Liang.
"Isn't this appropriate?" Liang Shan was slightly stunned.
"You're welcome, we are all revolutionary comrades." Wei Dayong pointed to the sacks in the hands of the Langya team, "There are so many. Look, all they are carrying are cans."
"They say that the independent regiment of the main force is fat. It seems true, so I won't be polite." Liang Shan glanced at Wei Dayong gratefully, took the can and held it in his arms.
Wei Dayong said: "I still want to see the wounded in the Independent Regiment, so I'll go there first."
Liang Shan said: "Okay, goodbye."
Wei Dayong nodded, turned around and followed Cui Dimple, heading towards the ward of the independent regiment soldiers.
The wards of the headquarters hospital are all made of bricks and tiles, but they are much better than ordinary private houses. Not only are there walls around the hospital, but the inside and outside of the wards are painted.
There are more than a dozen beds in each ward, which is a bit crowded, but the ward is very clean and hygienic.
"These wards are filled with seriously wounded members of your independent regiment." Cui Dimple said, pointing to a row of wards.
"Dr. Cui, thank you."
Wei Dayong turned around and said to the Langya team: "Give cans to the injured brothers, three beef cans to each person. Everyone must be given in place."
The quality and taste of the canned goods produced by the Japanese army were quite good. The material conditions in this era were very poor. Being able to eat enough was considered quite good, and being able to eat meat was even more of a luxury.
Most of the Japanese canned food was made of meat, with a thick layer of oil inside, and they were reluctant to eat it. Among the Eighth Route Army, they were one of the few that openly supplied it to the wounded like the Independent Regiment.
"Yes!" everyone in the Langya team shouted in unison, then opened the ward and walked in.
Chen Feng didn't follow him in. He was talking to Cui Dimple outside.
Wei Dayong followed the Langya team and walked inside. After looking around, Wang Gensheng was not in this ward.
"Battle Commander Wei is here!"
In the ward, an unknown person shouted, and the wounded instantly became excited.
Wei Dayong said: "The regiment leader and the political commissar asked me to come and visit you. You must rest assured and recover from your injuries. When your injuries are healed, you can return to the independent regiment and continue fighting the Japanese!"
Several seriously injured people were wrapped in gauze, leaving only their eyes outside. They slowly opened their eyes when they heard the movement.
"Batalion Commander, Erdan!"
In front of Wei Dayong, a soldier shouted hoarsely.
Wei Dayong knew this wounded man, his name was Luo Houcai. He was a soldier from the Sharp Knife Squad of the Special Operations Battalion, and he was one of the veterans who followed him out of the prisoner of war camp.
He was originally in the same class as Ge Erdan, and the two of them often carried guns and stood guard together. They were injured while fighting Japanese soldiers on Shipan.
"Luo Houcai, how are you feeling?"
Wei Dayong hurriedly knelt down and reached out to hold his hand, but unexpectedly he missed his hand.
Ge Erdan, who was handing out cans, also ran over.
Wei Dayong and Ge Erdan looked at Luo Houcai's right hand with disbelief on their faces.
Gauze wrapped his wrist, and the palm of Luo Houcai's left hand was gone.
Luo Houcai said slowly: "Batalion Commander, Erdan, I, I can't fight the Japanese with you anymore."
Ge Erdan said: "Luo Houcai, just take good care of yourself and leave the fight against the Japanese to us. Don't worry, we have killed all the Japanese in Yushe County."
"Erdan is right." Wei Dayong said, "Luo Houcai, just focus on recuperating and don't think too much about anything else."
"Battal Commander, it's worth it for me to be your soldier in this life. If I have the next life, I will still be your soldier." Luo Houcai said intermittently.
Luo Houcai was originally a prisoner of war. He lived a life of darkness in a prisoner-of-war camp. He might be dragged out by the Japanese and executed one day.
That day, a group of strangely dressed Japanese came to the prisoner-of-war camp and took them out for hand-to-hand training.
Luo Hou knew that the odds were stacked against him, and maybe that day was the day of his death. Unexpectedly, Wei Dayong suddenly took action and killed the Japanese, and led them out of the prisoner-of-war camp to join the Eighth Route Army.
It can be said that his life was saved by Wei Dayong.
In the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, having fought with Wei Dayong for so long, Luo Houcai had already earned enough to kill the Japanese.
"Luo Houcai, you will always be my soldier, Wei Dayong!"
After so many battles with the Japanese, I saw countless people die in front of my eyes, and I even took the lives of many Japanese with my own hands.
Wei Dayong had already felt that his Taoist heart was as hard as stone, but at this moment, a mist of water appeared in his eyes involuntarily.
Peace is destined for heroes, but there are no heroes to enjoy peace.
When Japan invaded us unscrupulously, it was they who safeguarded the unity of the motherland and the independence of the nation. They are the real national heroes!
Some wounded soldiers were resting with their eyes closed. They did not disturb them and put the cans on the bedside very gently.
"salute!"
Wei Dayong gave a soft drink, and the Langya team followed suit by straightening their chests and abdomen, and gave a gentle military salute to the wounded in the independent regiment of the hospital.
"The ceremony is over!"
After finishing their actions, Wei Dayong and the Langya team walked gently out to the next ward.
