Chapter 671 The medicine is here!
Principal Chang is also a good person, and he immediately understood the intention of Zhong Yi's move.
Zhong Yi was tactfully reminding him not to have selfish intentions in such a war that concerns the country and the future of the nation, but to just blindly consume local troops and make efforts to preserve the strength of the Central Army!
After a while, Principal Chang sighed and said, "Zhong Yi is setting an example!"
After a pause, Principal Chang said again: "Zi Ren's move is for the heads of all departments participating in the war!"
"Yes." Lin Wei nodded and continued, "This also shows from the side that Zi Ren is actually very worried about the upcoming battle of Xiaogan."
"Can you not worry? I'm also worried." Principal Chang said, "So far, our national army has not fought such a large-scale annihilation war, so I have no idea what to do! Therefore, all the war zones and troops participating in the war must work together!"
Lin Wei's mouth moved twice, and he wanted to tell Principal Chang, so in order to ensure the victory of the Battle of Xiaogan, why not leave it to Zhong Yi for command? But the words were all over the mouth, but they were swallowed back.
Because Lin Wei knew that Principal Chang would definitely not agree.
If you are not Huangpu, you don’t value it. Who made Zhong Yi not from Huangpu? Alas?
At this time, Liu Sheng came over to report again: "Principal, Guangzhou and Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce donated a batch of medicines, but they explicitly said they wanted to send it to Wuhan. What should we do?"
This is the episode made by Xiao Bing, which came into play.
In fact, donations have been made in the country these two days.
However, only Guangzhou and Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce have clearly proposed to transport the donated medicines and materials to Wuhan and give them to the injured officers and soldiers in the Wuhan Garrison District!
In this kind of thing, Principal Chang did not intend to reach out.
At that moment, President Chang said: "Immediately ask Yu Hanmou to arrange a car to transport the medicines donated by Guangzhou and Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce to Wuhan and the materials to the injured officers and soldiers in the Wuhan Garrison District! Then let Yu Hanmou write a document to warn the stations along the way, no one is allowed to extend his hand to this batch of materials!"
"Yes!" Lin Wei agreed with yes.
After a pause, Principal Chang said again: "No one can say what the Battle of Xiaogan will be like, and whether it will be the Battle of the Second Yi County. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to recruit wounded soldiers from the Wuhan Garrison District as soon as possible and restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Maybe this unit will be used!"
Lin Wei and Liu Sheng said in unison: "Principal's clarification!"
...
At this time, in Hanyang Hospital.
After burying the fallen soldiers in Hankou, Zhong Yi rushed to Hanyang without stopping and buried the fallen soldiers in Hanyang with Sun Liren, Chen Jing'an, Liu Futing and others.
In this battle, the Wuhan Garrison District really fought a miserable battle!
The 70,000 backbone troops before the war, 80,000 supplementary troops, and 50,000 militias, all of which were as many as 200,000, but now, there are less than 40,000 seriously injured people left!
In other words, more than 150,000 people were killed in battle!
In other words, the death rate is as high as 75%!
The casualty rate is even more terrifying, exceeding 95%!
Of course, such casualties or battle death rates are not uncommon in the national army!
For example, the Battle of Baoshan and Tengxian defense battle, the death rate was 100%!
There is also the Taierzhuang defense battle, the death rate and casualty rate are not much smaller than the Wuhan defense battle, but the scale is not as large as the Wuhan defense battle!
And this is the biggest difference between Eastern culture and Western culture!
In the West, a force that loses its combat effectiveness by more than 30% will mean losing its combat effectiveness! If it loses its personnel by more than 50%, it will basically be able to surrender, and no one will blame you!
But in the East, there is no saying that the combat effectiveness is lost. As long as the person in a unit is not dead, even if it is out of ammunition and food, it will still insist on fighting! Fight with fists and teeth!
It is precisely because of this that the casualties between the Chinese and Japanese armies in the battle are so heavy!
Zhong Yi buried more than 80,000 dead soldiers in Hankou, and more than 60,000 dead soldiers in Hanyang.
The remaining 10,000 soldiers were unable to find their bodies, so Zhong Yi could only erect a large stone tablet for them on the northern foot of Guishan Mountain and engrave the names of these soldiers.
In this way, when the Anti-Japanese War is victorious, the relatives of these fallen soldiers will have a place to pay tribute and remember.
After the burial of the fallen soldiers in Hankou, Zhong Yi inspected the hospital in Hanyang accompanied by Sun Liren and others.
The field hospital in Hanyang is located in the belly of Guishan. The living conditions are slightly better than those in Hankou. At least ventilation is OK, but the medicines are also exhausted!
While Zhong Yi was inspecting, seriously injured people closed their eyes forever due to infection!
Seeing one serious injury after another pass away forever, wrapped in a shroud by a stretcher team and carried out of the hospital, Sun Liren was so distressed that he was almost suffocated!
These are all elite veterans who have experienced many battles!
If there were enough medicines, these seriously injured people would be able to jump back to the army in less than seven days!
But now, these elite veterans who have experienced many battles have passed away one by one under the invasion of bacteria!
This scene reminded Sun Liren of the arduous years of the wounded soldiers of the Tax Police Corps in Huangpi. If it weren't for the large number of sulfonamide donated by Zhong Yi, I would probably not have the current new 38th Division!
But now, there is no second Zhong Yi donated another batch of sulfonamide powder!
Just as Sun Liren was sad, Zhang Shiliang suddenly came over.
"Go to the seat, good news!" Zhang Shiliang reported, "I just received an emergency call from the commander. A whole truck of sulfa, quinine water, anesthetics and other medicines, plus a whole truck of towels, biscuits, cigarettes, canned food and other condolences have been shipped from Guangzhou. It will be shipped to Wuchang in about two days!"
"Is that true?" Zhong Yi was overjoyed.
"That's great!" Sun Liren and others were also overjoyed.
There is nothing to say about condolences, but this batch of medicines came too timely!
More than 30,000 minor and serious injured people from Hankou Hospital and Hanyang Hospital were not sure what to do, but a truckload of sulfonamide, quinine water, anesthetics and other first aid drugs came from Guangzhou!
With these medicines, the wounded in the Wuhan Garrison District can be saved!
The more than 30,000 wounded people and nearly 40,000 wounded people were saved, and the most elite force in the Wuhan garrison area was saved!
After retaining this part of the most elite force, within three months, he could also pull out ten or even twenty brigades!
Chapter completed!
