"Deputy officer, why don't we just stay here for one night and go there tomorrow." Qin Shou and the others were really exhausted.
Yang Ling looked at the brothers supporting each other in the darkness behind him, and knew that they were exhausted, but many wounded were in urgent need of medical treatment, so he was also in a dilemma, and had to turn his head and said to the security company commander: "Brother, is there a medical station nearby? "
"Yes, it's in the village ahead, I'll take you there."
The company commander on guard outside was also warm-hearted and hurriedly led the way.
Text Chapter 551 Warm Current
The frontline medical station was set up in a relatively spacious ancestral hall in the village. Several lamps of pine oil were hung on the moldy walls.
Most of the wounded have been evacuated. There are not many wounded soldiers in this frontline medical station, and of course there are fewer doctors. There is only one military doctor and three nurses busy taking care of them.
The arrival of Yang Ling and the others made this small frontline medical station crowded and noisy. Those women from the village who took the initiative to help take care of the wounded saw so many wounded sent here, they were all eager to run around.
"Mr. Yang, we have too few beds to accommodate so many wounded, and we don't have much medicine." The doctors at the medical station bluntly told Yang Ling about the difficulties they were facing.
Yang Ling frowned and asked, "Doctor, are there any other medical stations around?"
The doctor replied: "There is another medical station two miles ahead."
"Then I'll take some of the wounded brothers over there to resettle, and the brothers who stay here will be entrusted."
The doctor said solemnly: "Mr. Yang, you have shed blood and died for the country. Don't worry, we will do our best to take care of the wounded brothers."
Facing the small and crude medical station, Yang Ling had no choice but to order his brothers to send some wounded soldiers to another medical station for resettlement.
After working hard all night, Yang Ling and the others finally settled all the wounded soldiers properly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as the wounded soldiers are sent to the medical station, at dawn, the wounded soldiers will be able to have a stretcher team come over and send them to the field hospital or the rear to recuperate according to the injury condition.
After arranging the wounded brothers, Yang Ling dragged his exhausted body back to the village. Now that the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, was injured and sent to the medical station, he, the deputy head of the regiment, had to take care of the affairs of the regiment.
"Have the brothers settled down?" Yang Ling saw the company commander Qin Shou at the gate of the ancestral hall of the medical station, and walked up to ask.
Qin Shou said with a bitter face: "All the places where we can camp have been taken, and the brothers are still crowded in the ancestral hall to hide from the rain. It seems that we can only stay up for one night."
Yang Ling and his troops were not only short of weapons and ammunition, but also incomparable in food, medicine and supplies. On such a rainy night, without a tent, they could only curl up under the eaves to hide from the rain.
Yang Ling walked into the ancestral hall that was mixed with potion and smell. Under the eaves and in the corridors, the exhausted brothers were sitting on the ground holding guns in twos and threes. When they saw Yang Ling coming over, they stood up and saluted.
Looking at these tired and drenched brothers, Yang Ling felt very uncomfortable. They worked hard for this country, but sometimes they couldn't even have a full meal.
"Dongming, take a few people to get some firewood, and ask the brothers to take off their wet clothes and dry them. If this continues, you will definitely get sick."
The successive battles had already seriously reduced the number of soldiers in the army. Yang Ling didn't want his brothers to think that the rain would increase the number of patients. In this era of lack of medical care and medicine, if it can be avoided, it must be avoided.
"Yes!" Wang Dongming stood up hastily, and led his brothers to find firewood.
"Counselor, the brothers are still hungry. Shall we go to the village to get some food?" Qin Shou followed Yang Ling step by step, and said cautiously.
They ate a little food when they were in Ruichang County, and then they have been fighting until now. Their feet are weak from hunger, and now they are hungry and cold, and they really can't hold on.
After Qin Shou's reminder, Yang Ling remembered that his brothers were still hungry, so he turned around and told Huzi, "Give the money we usually save to Company Commander Qin, and let him go to the village to buy some food."
Some of what Yang Ling and the others seized on the battlefield would be exchanged for silver dollars on the black market after the war, and then bought medicine and improved food for the brothers.
At the beginning, the deputy battalion commander, Old Smoker, was in charge of the money. Later, when Old Smoker died, Yang Ling took care of the money himself, and it was usually in the backpack of the guard Huzi.
"Deputy regiment, our money has long been used up..." Facing Yang Ling's order, the guard Huzi took out the ledger from his pocket with a bitter face: "All the expenses are on it."
Yang Ling took over the account book with suspicion, he didn't know if he didn't read it, he was startled when he saw it, he was only busy commanding and fighting wars on weekdays, so he didn't notice that the money used was like running water.
Now the brothers are all hungry, and originally thought about using the money to go to the village to buy some food to fill their stomachs, but now that they have no money, Yang Ling is in a dilemma.
"Deputy regiment, someone is looking for you outside." Just as Yang Ling was in trouble, a brother hurried over from outside and reported.
Yang Ling's face was full of doubts. He didn't know anyone here. With the idea of seeing what happened, he followed the guards to the outside of the ancestral hall.
In the pattering rain, more than 100 villagers in coir raincoats and bamboo hats were waiting outside. When they saw Yang Ling coming out, they all rushed over.
Seeing so many villagers gathered, Yang Ling's heart skipped a beat. He was busy arranging for the wounded just now. Could it be that the brothers committed something and they came here.
But at this moment, he also had to bite the bullet and stand up: "Fellow folks, I don't know why you are looking for me?"
An elderly man wearing a bamboo hat came out tremblingly with a cane and said, "Sir, I heard that you just evacuated from Ruichang County?"
Yang Ling nodded and said, "We just arrived here and disturbed you all late at night. I'm here to say sorry on behalf of the brothers."
"Sir, you're being polite. You're good at beating devils, so there's nothing to disturb or not to disturb." The elder waved his hand.
Seeing the elder's polite appearance, Yang Ling was puzzled by the monk Zhang Er, and asked tentatively, "I don't know why you came here late at night?"
The elder cupped his hands to Yang Ling and said, "Sir, I heard just now that the bosses have no place to live and are still huddled under the eaves of the ancestral hall. It's raining and windy. It's really hard for the bosses."
"Bosses abandon their families and go to the battlefield to fight devils. Since they come to our village, they are guests. As the owner of this place, letting the bosses who fight devils sleep under the eaves is not the way to welcome guests. Please move, bosses. Come and stay in each house, let us do our best as landlords."
The elder spoke impassionedly, and more than 100 villagers who followed him all echoed him.
"Sir, you haven't eaten yet, we've already made the meal, you can eat it in the past."
"Sir, all the beds in our house have been vacated. If you don't mind, come and stay overnight."
"Please sir, don't refuse."
.....
Looking at the villagers who came in the rain, Yang Ling's heart suddenly felt warm. Hearing that the troops were in trouble, they got up late at night to boil water and cook. This friendship will never be forgotten.
"Sir, let's go, the food is getting cold." Seeing Yang Ling standing there without speaking, the villagers urged.
"I, Yang Ling, thank you on behalf of the brothers." Yang Ling raised his hand to salute the villagers.
Text Chapter 552 Leaving Home
After a night of heavy rain, the river swelled up, and the fields were full of muddy water. The rain washed away the long-lasting gunpowder smoke, and the air became fresh again, which made people feel refreshed.
Last night, Yang Ling and the others arrived at the small mountain village under Mahuiling despite the rain, and were warmly received by the villagers. The brothers finally had a hot meal and a good night's sleep.
Days of high-intensity combat kept Yang Ling's nerves tensed. After waking up, it was already dawn, and his whole body recovered a bit.
He pushed open the carved wooden window, and the fresh air mixed with the smell of earth rushed towards him, which immediately lifted people's mood.
Yang Ling and a few guards stayed at the home of an elder surnamed Liu last night, and the rest of the brothers also lived in other homes in the village, and were warmly received by the villagers.
"Regiment deputy, Uncle Liu asked us to go over for dinner."
Seeing Yang Ling wake up, the guard Huzi came over with a gun in his arms. After washing his dirty face, he felt much better.
