Chapter 476: Recuperation
Fu Yan casually glanced at the officers present, and smiled lightly when he saw everyone's excited expressions.
Then he turned his head again, tilted his head to look at the two men who were glaring at each other, ready to compete for the captured horses, and to expand his ranks into the cavalry battalion, the commanders of the two infantry battalions.
Looking at the eyes that were shining between the two of them, as if they were going to eat each other, he shook his head a little funny, and immediately stopped it.
"Okay, okay, the big guys are all concerned now and don't talk anymore, and you two guys, don't be in a hurry to fight the bull first, the whereabouts of that batch of war horses, you have to ask the General Staff and the king first, even if you break your head now, it's useless."
Now, let the units report to you the losses of the battalions, companies, and directly subordinate units, and the commanders of the mounted infantry battalions and cavalry battalions will start first! ”
When the commander of the cavalry battalion heard the roll call, he and the commander of the mounted infantry battalion glanced at each other, and when they saw that the other party was giving in, they took the lead in standing up and began to report the losses.
"Our cavalry battalion lost a total of one hundred and seventeen casualties in this battle.
One hundred and seventy-five people were seriously injured and 247 were lightly injured, all of whom were treated.
Most of the seriously wounded have stabilized their injuries after resuscitation and will need to be sent back to China for recuperation, but the number that will eventually return to the army is probably less than half of that number.
The other half of the seriously wounded, some of whom do not affect their mobility, can go to idle posts in the rear, but those who lack arms and legs can only regretfully retire from active duty and serve in reserve forces and local government agencies.
The subordinates hope that the commander-in-chief can exert your powerful influence and make some adjustments to the future of these seriously injured soldiers. ”
Zachdan looked serious, stood up and said, "This matter should be like this, as the commander of this brigade, I am naturally duty-bound, everyone rest assured, I will handle it properly." ”
And all the people stood up and saluted.
After the cavalry battalion commander finished reporting, it was naturally the turn of the battalion commander of the mounted infantry battalion.
"My mounted infantry battalion suffered one hundred and seventy-nine killed, fifty-four seriously wounded, and two hundred and forty-one lightly wounded.
Most of the seriously wounded were stabbed by the spears of the Houjin Army, and this kind of penetrating wound was difficult to treat, and almost most of the military doctors at the brigade headquarters were treating this group of seriously wounded, but the effect was really not optimistic.
The lightly wounded were mainly arrow wounds, mixed with a small number of wounded who were hit by the Houjin flying axe.
Although the injuries of these wounded were minor, because of the rust left on the enemy's arrows, the wounds need to be carefully treated, and the later recuperation conditions should be ......"
The recruit Xiaohu, who was rescued by his squad leader, was lying on a stretcher in the medical camp at the moment, and there was a newly sawn wooden board under the stretcher, as well as a blanket.
And the soldier badge that belonged to him was hung on the stretcher pole next to his head.
To his left and right, and opposite, were two rows of the same stretcher beds.
Inside the tent, several soldiers who had been wounded by spears were screaming loudly. There were also some other soldiers who had been seriously injured by other weapons, and they were also moaning.
Ambulances, military doctors, and other personnel were gently busy caring for the wounded.
The whole medical tent was noisy because of the groans of the wounded and the busy sounds of the military doctors and ambulance soldiers.
Outside, there were also some sounds of knocking wood in the distance, and I didn't know what they were doing, so that Xiaohu didn't even have the mood to cultivate.
After a while, the smell of roast horse meat wafted from outside, and Xiaohu's saliva kept coming out of his mouth, making the corners of his mouth a little itchy.
He subconsciously stretched out his tongue and licked a small drop of honey from his face along the corner of his mouth.
He liked the special taste of honey sweetly, and the wounds on his legs, body, and face had stopped bleeding, and the wounds were also coated with honey in order to reduce inflammation.
After the wound on the face was debrided, it was bandaged with disinfectant cotton and bandages, and it was very uncomfortable to feel wet and greasy, but fortunately, every once in a while, a little honey would melt away and run down.
Every time this moment, he seized the opportunity to lick the honey off, anyway, not a drop will be wasted, you must know that there are only a few kinds of sweets in this era, and it is not easy to eat honey.
Although the medical technology of the Huaxia Army is now developed, and various drugs have been developed step by step, production capacity has always been a trouble. After all, there is a big difference between laboratory production and industrial production capabilities.
In the case of insufficient medicines, the military can only think of other methods.
Fresh honey has a disinfecting effect, and this method was still used by the armies of the great powers until the time of World War I.
Therefore, the ambulance soldiers of each battalion, in addition to receiving a part of the honey from the logistics department as a reserve before the expedition, will also look for honeycombs everywhere after they arrive at the camp.
In the army of this era, it is common to see some people who are still blue and swollen when they are not fighting.
At this time, you don't need to look at the identification seal, you can guess that it is the ambulance soldiers who have gone to dig out the honeycomb again.
But honey is not an antibiotic after all, but whether the wound will be infected in the end depends on the lives of the wounded and depends on whether their lives are hard or not.
Only the wounded who have deteriorated their wounds can use the scarce and powerful drugs that are made in the domestic laboratory method.
The most painful part of Xiaohu was the place where he was stabbed in his calf by the Houjin wounded soldier with a severed spear head, and the wound was very deep and long.
And the arrow wound on his chest, because it was protected by bulletproof steel plates, was not too deep into the flesh, a little shallow, if it weren't for the rust, he wouldn't even need to bandage it.
What pained him the most was the place where his face was smashed by the hand axe of the wounded soldier of Houjin. Because the ambulance guards had told him that the injuries on his face prevented him from using the muscles on his face too much.
For the next few days, he could only drink a little porridge and even eat food that needed to be chewed with his teeth.
After such a rare war, the army feasted on the labor army, and the meat was constantly supplied, so he couldn't eat the meat, how could he make him uncomfortable without meat.
However, what made Xiaohu most sad was not that he couldn't eat meat, but that the fellow standing beside him during the battle was still not saved in the end.
