Chapter 509: The Severely Wounded
The airship that had originally left in the air stopped about 2 kilometers away from Chuktu. The Northwest Army had already joined forces at the underground command center. Wu Jian looked at Lan Rongzeng walking in and said excitedly: "Bail Commander Lan, you are finally here!"
Lan Rongzeng's position is higher than Wu Jian. Among the special forces, the first battalion is a permanent unit and a regiment-level organization. It is said to be the battalion commander, but in fact it is the regiment commander. The second battalion was just established and has not been promoted to the regiment level in terms of level. Even when the first battalion and the second battalion gathered together, according to the regulations on military rank and command, it was naturally commanded by Lan Rongzeng.
"How is the situation now? How many soldiers can the Second Battalion have to fight!" Lan Rongzeng said straight to the point.
Wu Jian was already ready, and these were portrayed in his heart. Faced with the pressure of the Russian troops of the 173 and 179 divisions, Wu Jian used almost every point of his strength. Some minor injuries were basically not on the list of injuries. After a little bandage, he was put into battle again. Even some seriously injured people, as long as they could pull the trigger, they made arrangements one by one. Even the firepower point in the rear was made with great sacrifices with all the efforts of all the members, and they saved the city of business and sold them greatly. By the way, they gave great damage to the Russian army. If it weren't for the gunboat and the Russian army's support, maybe after the first battalion, he would be able to take down Chaktu and achieve a phased victory against Russia.
After taking the document, Lan Rongzeng looked carefully, but his heart was shocked. The calm narratives on the document turned into fierce battles. As the commander of the special forces, perhaps the Second Battalion had all kinds of shortcomings. He did not complete the entire training subjects thoroughly, but these training subjects were only effective under specific circumstances. In the city defense battle of the Buying and Selling City, the training of the Second Battalion was already useful enough.
It is precisely because of the strength of the Second Battalion that Lan Rongzeng felt shocking about the current casualties. The cumulative number of casualties reached 650. You must know that the entire Second Battalion plus the armed forces of the Trade City itself are only more than 600 people, almost everyone was injured. Some people were even injured more than once, and there were no need to mention minor injuries. From minor injuries to serious injuries, or even two or three times, there are quite a few.
The harsh battle hurts most people, unless they are truly unable to move, and they all stand on the front line of the battlefield. Lan Rongzeng sighed at the firmness and resilience of the Second Battalion. After this test of life and death, he believed that the second Battalion could survive. Ninety-nine-nine percent of those who could survive, could become qualified special forces, but there was a huge premise that he wanted to survive.
"Communication!" Lan Rongzeng shouted loudly.
The capable correspondent quickly pushed the door open and said after saluting, "Battery Commander, what are you asking for?"
"Let the health workers go to the field hospital!"
Special forces are all professional and multi-tastic. Although doctors cannot be trained, hygienists and some simple battlefield rescue are definitely trained. What the business city needs most now should be doctors, especially doctors who can perform surgery for critically ill patients!
Wu Jian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. Because of the bombing of the airship, the Russian army did not dare to attack again, especially when the gunboats were running away, the battlefield was balanced, and the business city was also in a tense preparation. They had to make all preparations before the arrival of the Russian army's large troops.
The airship swung around the wind, but for the Russian army in Chaktu, he was frightened and hid in the bunker, and he was in charge of the movement at all. Although the airship did not achieve much effect after attacking Chaktu, the center of the battlefield hovered, but it was a huge deterrent. For it, it was impossible to hover like this forever. However, in a short time, it was okay to give the city a certain time, not to mention that he received the order from Lan Rongzeng, and they should not leave first and wait for the order.
Lan Rongzeng went to the hospital in person. This hospital, which is located deep in the underground fortifications of the Made and Shop City, was working intensively. There was no shortage of medicines and plasma due to the donation of some soldiers, especially civilians. Even Commander Wu Jian and General Manager Liang Lingdong donated more than 500cc, which is basically enough. The harsh battlefield environment and the shortage of medical equipment, especially the lack of professional doctors, made the mortality rate relatively high this time.
The doctors are also special forces members, but they have just trained as health workers. Looking at the soldiers who should have been rescued, they died due to continuous combat or other reasons, this is unbearable for any health officer or officer. The soldiers trained with a lot of money are consumed in continuous offense and defense. This is the worst outcome. Before the experience is accumulated, they lose their lives.
"Can't wait any longer!" Lan Rongzeng said in a deep voice. Everything in front of him was a little surprised. During the three-day offensive and defensive battle in the Massachusetts, the Russian army was wiped out at least 15,000, and the casualties were also huge. Currently, 216 people died and 127 seriously injured. This is almost half of the heavy casualties. If it were other troops, it would have been a little difficult, and the special forces were the same. Wu Jian was almost persisting with the strongest will.
It is easy to deal with the minor wounded. There is enough rest and medicine to help them recover within a week. However, the 127 seriously injured people are a difficult problem. It is good if the field hospital can ensure that their wounds do not worsen. If you want to undergo surgery and completely solve the problem, at least it is Kulun or even Ude. Only the division-level health centers, or even military-level field hospitals, have enough doctors, real doctors who use knife surgery, rather than this so-called battlefield rescue.
Transport back? This idea arose in Lan Rongzeng's mind and was thrown out. This is not a local battle in the northwest. The convenient transportation network, railways and highways can quickly transport people to various places. This is in Mongolia, 2,000 kilometers away from Baotou, Mongolia has to cross 2,000 kilometers. This is too unrealistic.
"It would be great if the airship could land!" Wu Jian muttered. Now all the soldiers he was under hand. Looking at more than 100 seriously injured, some of the people who died before were seriously injured and could not be maintained. In just two or three days, there were only more than 200 powerful special forces soldiers left, which was almost half of which. The grief in his heart was beyond words.
The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Lan Rongzeng's eyes lit up. They came by airships. Not to mention flying back to Baotou, they could fly to Kulun or even Ude. The stop of the airship is not just a casual flat ground, but it is not difficult to complete. It is urgent to construct and provide necessary equipment. It can be completely completed. Because this airship attack, Kulun is already under construction, and it may be possible to solve the problem of the wounded.
"Wu Jian, where is the radio station!"
"Radio, it's in the command center!" Wu Jian asked inexplicably.
"What I'm talking about is a high-power radio station that can contact the military headquarters and even Baotou!"
"That!" Wu Jian thought for a while and said, "It's right under this!"
The high-power radio station that can travel hundreds of kilometers and contact Wude and even through Wude is arranged at the core of the underground fortifications. Because this thing is too big, even to ensure the launch, his antennas are secretly passed through the underground and above the roof, and not one, but dozens, preventing any one, because of the battlefield, it is impossible to send a report. Three things as big as a house ensure sufficient transmission power and safety.
With the help of the telegrapher, Lan Rongzeng successfully contacted the military headquarters and expressed his opinions. At the appropriate location between Kulun and the City of Buying and Selling, the closer the site, the better. Then, from the City of Buying and Selling to the site, the seriously injured can be sent down by manpower.
The radio waves traveled thousands of miles and arrived at Wude. The First Army did not neglect and sent it back to Baotou directly. In the base camp, they were worried that the First Battalion would not be able to arrive successfully, especially the arrival of 12 gunboats yesterday, which made them worried that the First Battalion has arrived. Now that the arrival of the First Battalion has stabilized the defense line of the Buying and Shop City, it can even use the tunnel to carry out flexible fortifications to kill the enemy in large quantities, but another realistic problem is on the table. What should the wounded do?
There is no one who does not have casualties when fighting. It is equipped with health workers, which only reduces minor injuries and serious injuries, or even deaths. The real serious injuries, even in the hospitals in the rear, cannot be cured. The possibility of cure is greater. There is a lack of doctors in Baotou. In addition, the urbanization vigorously promotes the gap for doctors is getting bigger and bigger, and a large number of foreign doctors have been hired. In addition, a series of medical schools have been established, so it is barely enough. The tilt towards the army is only part of it, but it has been popularized to the division.
The 127 soldiers, and they were soldiers of the special forces, were rescued and were a huge fortune. Even Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that they had completed their mission with their blood and youth, and their lives must be preserved.
The only possibility is probably that the airship was transported. Lan Rongzeng was very keen at this point, but the airship landing ground could not be built in a short time, and it would take time. Can the seriously injured hold on for so long? In two or three days, the First Division also went up.
