As we entered October, scouts and militiamen ambushed on the outskirts of the swamp always found a few scattered refugees. Many of them are like Robroski - Jews, or Gypsies.

They were all citizens of the Soviet Union, and in the eyes of the Germans, they were an inferior people who should be exterminated.

For everyone in the swamp, the bigger the population, the better. The situation of the troops is much better now, and the food is relatively abundant to feed more people.

Yang Mingzhi continued to be examined in the army's hospital because of his injuries, and now the doctor, Raslyujing, told him a very important matter.

"My deputy division commander, your wound can be removed!"

Stitches! Yang Mingzhi knew that the wound was sutured by his wife, and cotton thread was still mostly used in this era, so the sutures had to be removed after the wound began to heal. Unlike the sheep intestines of later generations, it can be absorbed by the human body and become a part of the skin, not to mention the magical barnacle glue.

Come to think of it, it's been a few days since I was injured, it's October, and autumn has arrived. He knew that he had no choice, so he readily agreed.

But he emphasized one point: "Don't give me morphine. First, this thing is very precious, and it is still reserved for comrades who are afraid of pain when they have surgery in the future. Second, I was worried that I would become addicted. “

"You're asking for a lot." Raslyutin was surprised, it hurt to remove the stitches, and as an officer, he had the privilege of giving priority to painkillers. This person is still Cheng Qiang as always, no matter what, seeing his resolute appearance, Rasliujing followed his temperament.

As a nurse, star fruit is distressed in her heart, and she is strongly comforted.

Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "My dear, you don't have to worry about me. I'm a gentleman, and it doesn't hurt much. And as the deputy division commander, I have to set an example, and I have to let the soldiers know that their commander is a warrior. ”

In the Russian tradition, people like to obey the strong. Yang Mingzhi knows some Maozi culture, and in the West, he often ridicules Russian soldiers as gray animals, because they always have perverted obedience to their superiors. In other words, this culture was also brought by the Mongols, or perhaps one of their ancestors, the Swedish Vikings, the Varyag warrior tradition.

Yang Mingzhi made his choice and underwent surgery on October 3.

He lay quietly on the hospital bed, holding a wooden stick wrapped in sackcloth in his mouth. The injured left arm was calmly stretched out and set up on a stool.

Raslyutin calmly put the various surgical instruments away, and chose the nurse to stop.

At first, he didn't choose star fruit as a stop, but this girl was soft and hard, and he still agreed. "I'm doing surgery on your husband, and I'm most worried about your compassion. You have to make sure that you don't get distracted, otherwise there will be an accident that you and I don't want to see. ”

Naturally, the girl agreed, and Raslyutin agreed. Now she is in charge of surgical instruments as a nurse, and Lilia, another is an experienced medical professional. With this man in his presence, Raslyutin boasted that the operation would be a success.

Yang Mingzhi lay quietly and looked at these people, they were all wearing gloves and masks.

Raslyujing finally asked: "Deputy division commander, you really don't have any anesthetic?" ”

"Of course!" Yang Mingzhi replied resolutely, "I will do what I say, you don't have to worry about me." But there's one more thing you have to do for me. ”

Just in case, for example, the instinctive tremors of the body could ruin the operation, Yang Mingzhi asked to tie his arms to a stool.

Star fruit couldn't bear to hear her husband ask for this. "Brother, don't insist so much. Do you have to learn what to do with Guan Gong scraping bones? ”

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhi was immediately happy. He didn't know where this girl learned the allusions to the Three Kingdoms, could she have heard it in the Anti-Japanese Federation. It's okay, now it's good to learn Guan Gong to scrape the bones, if you also have those integrity of Guan Gong, it can be regarded as your own personality has been sublimated.

"Just do it, I'll stick to it. Please, it's just pulling the thread out of the muscle, will there be a lot of blood? ”

Raslyutin smiled: "If you have this awareness, I will do it." ”

In this way, Yang Mingzhi slowly closed his eyes, and the doctor began his work.

The scissors cut the cotton thread into sections, and then pulled it outward one by one with tweezers, Raslyuin moved very gently and kept an eye on the patient's reaction.

At this moment, Yang Mingzhi was indeed enduring a lot of pain, his forehead was full of sweat, and his left arm was clenched into a fist. "If I knew it hurt so much, I might as well have a shot of morphine." It's too late to say anything now, admitting that it hurts too much face, Yang Mingzhi can only grit his teeth and bear it slowly.

Carambola is also worried but unable to do anything, so she can only wait for the doctor's order to provide new instruments for surgery at any time.

The stitch removal procedure was very quick, and all the cotton threads were removed in just ten minutes.

If Maozi also has white medicine here, it must be a miracle to stop bleeding and relieve pain. It is very sad that Baiyao is currently only circulating in southern China, and even **** is only rationed in small amounts.

Mao Zi didn't have a good anti-inflammatory, so after treating his wounds, he rubbed some iodine wine and bandaged it with the latest gauze.

"Deputy Divisional Commander, you are very lucky, we have a lot of medicine now. These tampons and sanitary gauze are the latest airdrops. We don't have to reuse the previous one, or replace it with a plain white linen. You can rest assured that there will never be a bacterial infection. ”

Yang Mingzhi was relieved that the torture was finally over.

He still needs to recuperate, at least for a day, and wait for the wound to scab before he can move freely.

On the day of his surgery, around the broken tank, a group of fighters were trying to dismantle the tank. Many of the riveted parts were knocked down by chisels and hammers, and some were violently sawed off with hacksaws.

Three of the four tanks are intact and can even be driven. In the evening, Yang Mingzhi heard a very incongruous noise outside, which sounded like a vehicle was moving.

"Is this a tank starting? Soldier, show me what is going on. He subconsciously greeted the soldiers of the guard company, and as soon as the words fell, he realized that this was a hospital, surrounded by wounded soldiers, and he was still looking at himself.

"What's wrong! Brother, don't shout! Star fruit hurriedly ran over to ask about the situation.

"Oh, now that you're here. My dear, you go outside and take a look, I hear the sound of a tank starting, go see what the hell they are doing! “

Carambola took the order, and she naturally heard the noise, except that she did spot a tank in the direction of the noise. But strangely, this guy was dragging something that looked like the wreckage of another tank - the barrel and turret.

Around the tank, a group of fighters were screaming, as if directing traffic. Here she saw a very familiar figure, it was Yerenkina.

Carambola didn't care about the image of a nurse still wearing a white coat and a white turban, and hurriedly catered to it.

Yerentina was startled and grabbed the girl's hand: "Bessica, what are you doing here?" Don't get too close to this iron guy, it's dangerous! ”

"No, it's not! It's my husband...... No, it was an order given to me by the deputy division commander. He said the noise was noisy and asked me to come out and see what was going on. ”

"I see." Yerentina shrugged, "I'll tell him myself in a moment." Since you're here, go back and tell him that the soldiers are going to get the broken tank to the camp, and that the tank that I ordered can be used as a tractor to pull the turret back. ”

Yang Mingzhi waited for news from his wife in the hospital, and asked about it as soon as she returned, so as to understand Yerenkina's actions.

"That woman did a good job, the tank used as a tractor to pull back the scrap copper and rotten iron, which saved a lot of manpower. I think it will be better to plant the land and turn over the soil in the future, and let the tank be used as a tractor. ”

Carambola grew a lot during the war, and instead of playing haha with her husband, she explained her opinion. "I think the commissar's sister is trying to use that artillery. Pull the turret back, and the next step will definitely be to dismantle the cannon. ”

Yang Mingzhi appreciated this very much, and what she said made sense. Now that the tank is broken, some of the parts on it can still be used, especially the 37 gun.

After a while, Yerentina went to the hospital in person, and at the moment she was eating straight.

She strode into the hospital and saw the intimacy of the Berekovs.

"Yo yo! My deputy division commander is so happy! Your nurse's wife feeds you herself. ”

As soon as she said this, star fruit was immediately embarrassed. But the husband has an arm injury and has to recuperate, and he must do his duty as a wife to take care of it.

"Alright, little peach, feed me later. I have a few words with the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

Star fruit sat on the edge of the bed with a lunch box in her hand. This Yerenkina also sat on a small stool next to the hospital bed more casually. She said straight to the point: "Your wife has already told you, I came this time to tell you, that tank gun, we can still use it." ”

"Yes, I know that. It's really a commissar of labor, and you're doing it very right. We have to use that cannon. Yang Mingzhi said.

Yerentina nodded, "I will order the soldiers to remove all rivets and screws overnight, and the cannon body will be detached from the cannon shield." I can't do anything after that, it's up to you how to use the artillery. ”

"That's it." Yang Mingzhi's smile was full of confidence, "This 37mm gun, we can convert it into a combat defense gun." We brought it back to the blacksmith village, made a gun body for it, installed a gun shield, and we had one more anti-tank gun. So are there enough shells? ”

"Enough." "There are more than 100 shells of all kinds, most of which are tungsten core armor-piercing shells, all of which are airdropped. It's an accessory to the tank."

Yang Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, when I return to the blacksmith village, I will discuss the matter of arms with Rigushkov." But in life, there is Laura Rentina you. ”

Yang Mingzhi brought the topic to life, and he focused on food. "As far as I know, there is a lot of autumn rain in Russia, we have not experienced a downpour for the time being, and today is also a cloudy day. We must be prepared for a rainy day, we must preserve the grain, and we must build more warehouses to store the grain. ”

"You can rest assured of this!" Yerentina patted her chest and said, "You know that there is a small dirt slope near the blacksmith village. There, I would like to mobilize the soldiers and build a large number of cellars and warehouses on the dirt slopes. We had more ammunition and food to store, and I remember that we had planned to move the division headquarters to the blacksmith village in the hinterland of the swamp. “

Yang Mingzhi immediately remembered the discussion a few months ago, after all, Catfish Village was too close to the Pripet River, and the enemy's long-range artillery was likely to hit the shells.

"What you said is completely reasonable, we really have to carry out the original plan, and we have to move slowly." (To be continued.) )
