Chapter 64: Annie

Zhang Chi suffered only minor injuries, but he still received the doctor's attention beyond imagination.

"You're in luck!" The nurse who bandaged Zhang Chi said: "If the shrapnel is a little bit off, it will not be the flesh on your shoulder, but your collarbone or your carotid artery!" ”

When the nurse said this, Zhang Chi felt that it was true, and the shrapnel did feel the airflow on his neck when he crossed his neck.

But the nurse's next words made Zhang Chi a little ridiculous: "If that's the case, maybe I won't be able to see you, right?" ”

Although Zhang Chi knows that Americans are very straightforward and American women are very bold, it is not so straightforward.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi quickly understood that the American nurse was saying these words in English, and she must have thought that she didn't understand English...... Who would have thought that an ordinary Chinese soldier could speak English?

So Zhang Chi pretended not to understand, and his face did not show any abnormality, and even when the doctor told Zhang Chi in jerky Chinese that he had to stay in the hospital for a week, Zhang Chi objected in Chinese...... This really made Zhang Chi a little unimaginable, just this little injury will have to stay in the hospital for a week.

But the doctor's answer was very firm, and he said in stiff Chinese: "No, you have to stay, for a week, you can't be discharged without my approval!" ”

Zhang Chi has somewhat experienced the "people-oriented" thinking and style of the Americans, if the same situation happens in China, this small injury will have to stay in the hospital for a week?! This guarantee will be regarded as a "sick number" by others.

At the same time, Zhang Chi also felt the pain of other comrades-in-arms, it was indeed very comfortable in the hospital, the sheets and quilts were all new, and they had been disinfected, the food was also delivered by the nurse on time, it was still hot food and hot meals, and more importantly, there was no need to worry about safety...... For Chinese soldiers, it is not an exaggeration to say that heaven is an analogy.

But Zhang Chi, who has just come down from the battlefield, is not accustomed to all kinds of things, which includes two aspects:

On the one hand, there is too much contrast between the hospital and the front line. This made it a little difficult for Zhang Chi to adapt.

On the other hand, Zhang Chi is worried that if he stays in the hospital for too long, he will have all kinds of discomfort when he returns to the battlefield, and even Zhang Chi is worried that he will lose his sensitivity on the battlefield...... It's not that Zhang Chi is unfounded, but this environment and such medical conditions make Zhang Chi feel a little unreal back to modern times, and a nervous nerve that has collapsed slowly relaxes. It would be a good thing that he didn't have to go to war in the future, but it was only a week before he had to go back, and it became a temptation.

However, life in the hospital is really good, especially the American nurse who thinks Zhang Chi does not understand English. So he often said something that shouldn't have been heard by Zhang Chi:

"I heard that you are a hero, they say that you killed a lot of Japanese people on the battlefield, I think that must be cool......"

"Well, the recovery is good! You know? I've always wanted to have a hero boyfriend, okay...... I feel like I'm kind of liking you! ”

"It's just a few days from now, we may just be strangers, anyway, good luck!"

……

Zhang Chi has never said anything, because he thinks that if this American nurse named Annie discovers this secret. It would be embarrassing for her.

And Zhang Chi also plans to spend the week like this, as if nothing happened.

But the day before Zhang Chi was about to be discharged from the hospital, Stilwell went to the field hospital to visit the wounded soldiers.

"Hey, brethren!" Stilwell greeted the wounded soldiers in Chinese: "How are you recovering?" ”

"We are recovering well. Checkmate! The fighters replied one after another.

Don't look at Stilwell as being snarky to officers or colleagues, but he is very tolerant of ordinary soldiers...... This seems to be the exact opposite of Chinese officers, and of course, there are exceptions for Chinese officers.

"You're all good!" Stilwell shook hands with the wounded soldiers one by one: "You are heroes. Rest here for a few days and take care of your body before you can continue to go to the battlefield and kick the Japanese in the ass! ”

"You don't have to be in a hurry, I will let the Japanese wait for you on the battlefield!"

……

The fighters were amused by Stilwell's American humor.

Zhang Chi didn't want Stilwell to recognize him. Because at this time Anne was helping him to examine the wound.

But Stilwell still recognized Zhang Chi at a glance when he passed by.

"Hey, Zhang!" When Stilwell saw Zhang Chi, he said enthusiastically in English: "I heard that you are hospitalized, it doesn't matter!" ”

"Uh......" Zhang Chi was a little embarrassed, he knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to answer in English: "It doesn't matter, General, I think I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow!" ”

Then Zhang Chi found that Anne's work stopped, she looked at Zhang Chi as if she saw an alien, and said, "Oh my God, you ...... Do you speak English? ”

"Of course!" Stilwell looked at Anne a little strangely: "He used to be my translator, you ...... Haven't you talked to each other? ”

"No, General...... I ......" Anne panicked a little, then suddenly laughed, and said to Zhang Chi: "This is incredible, you actually lied to me for a whole week!" ”

"I'm sorry!" Zhang Chi replied, "I don't know how to answer your words!" ”

"No, I don't mind!" Anne replied, "You should have told me sooner, in that case I think we would have become friends, what do you say?" ”

At this time, Zhang Chi fully felt the generosity and directness of the Americans...... If this was a Chinese woman, I was afraid that she would have blushed and ran away.

"Zhang ......" Stilwell invited Zhang Chi aside and said, "Do you know? You used tanks in the Panmai battle, which made me realize that tanks are not useless in the jungle and in harsh environments......"

Of course, this is the case, Zhang Chi thought to himself: the tank is just not suitable for fighting in the jungle, but once the tank successfully passes through the jungle, it will often deal a fatal blow to the enemy...... Because the enemy also thought that he would not face the tanks in the jungle, he was not prepared at all.

This is also one of the reasons why nearly 100,000 British troops in Singapore were forced to land by 30,000 Japanese troops...... The British army rigidly analyzed according to military theory, and felt that the Japanese army would not use tanks on the terrain of Singapore, but the Japanese army did.

"That's what inspired me!" Stilwell unfolded a map in front of Zhang Chi and said, "I think we can also use armored forces to intersperse Ba Mo, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, this idea should be said to be very constructive, but it is interspersed from Lingbang to Bamo...... That's a hundred kilometers away. (To be continued.) )
