Qin Muye hurried back to the camp at noon, grabbed Xie Wan who was making a fire and cooking, and said in an urgent tone: "Xiao Wan, please come with me to take a look. Many soldiers in the three battalions that have been replaced in the past few days have not adapted to the climate."
"At first we thought it was just a common altitude sickness, and the accompanying military doctor gave them oxygen, but some of them still didn't get better." Qin Muye's brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that the situation was more serious than expected.
Xie Wan immediately became serious when she heard this. She quickly put on her white coat, took out the medical kit from the space, and followed Qin Muye to the makeshift clinic in the regiment.
In the tent, several soldiers were lying on simple beds, looking pale and breathing rapidly. These soldiers who were feeling unwell were all transferred from the Second Division, and many of them were familiar to Xie Wan.
"Thank you, military doctor. I feel very dizzy and nauseous." A soldier said weakly, with obvious fatigue in his voice.
"Don't worry, I'll check it out." Xie Wan quickly picked up the stethoscope and checked the soldiers one by one. She found that most of these soldiers had symptoms such as dizziness, headache, palpitations, and shortness of breath, which are typical acute altitude sickness. Normally, normal altitude sickness will get better in a day or two, but the troops have been replaced for a week, and these soldiers still haven't adapted.
"Did they participate in the training?" Xie Wan asked.
Several soldiers looked ashamed. One of them said, "Everyone has resumed training. We are the only ones holding them back."
It seems that these people had not recovered from the altitude sickness in the first place, but they still insisted on taking part in the training.
Xie Wan glared at Qin Muye, and Qin Muye turned around and glared at his subordinates Wang Haitao and Jiang Jianjun.
Their two battalions had the most problems, while the battalion led by Xie Yuanchao basically had no problems.
Xie Wan patiently explained: "You have just arrived at the plateau, and your body is still in the adaptation stage. This is a normal altitude sickness."
As she spoke, she expertly prepared medicine and gave injections to the soldiers. "Don't rush into training yet. You need to rest well, drink plenty of water, and keep the room ventilated. I'll prescribe some medicine to relieve altitude sickness, such as Rhodiola rosea and Gaoyuan An, to help you adapt as soon as possible."
While treating the patients, Xie Wan reminded Qin Muye: "Their condition is quite serious. It may be that they did not get enough rest, and the long journey has put too much pressure on their bodies. They cannot participate in training if their bodies are not fully adapted, otherwise their lives will be in danger."
Qin Muye absolutely believed what his wife said. He turned around and scolded Wang Haitao and Jiang Jianjun, "You are really making a fuss. Didn't I suspend the training plan for this week?"
Wang Haitao and Jiang Jianjun looked at each other and lowered their heads. Wang Haitao muttered, "Why is the Third Battalion still training every day? Nothing happened?"
Qin Muye held his forehead with his hand. He knew it must be related to his brother-in-law. The third battalion commander was Xie Wan's elder brother Xie Yuanchao.
Qin Muye turned around and asked the orderly to call Xie Yuanchao over.
"Captain, you called me?" Xie Yuanchao came running in sweaty in a thin training suit. As soon as he entered the clinic, he glanced at Qin Muye, and seeing that Qin Muye looked bad, he immediately moved closer to his sister.
Xie Wan was busy treating the soldiers and kicked him impatiently, "Get out of the way."
At home, Xie Yuanchao is the big brother; in the army, Qin Muye is the regiment commander, and the relationship between the two is very delicate.
When Qin Muye saw him like this, his face darkened even more. He asked, "Third Battalion Commander, I heard that you are still insisting on training this week?"
When Xie Yuanchao heard this question, he became proud.
"That's right. Don't you see who is leading the soldiers? Except for the first two days, the soldiers in our battalion have not missed a single day of training. Unlike some people's soldiers, who stay at home all day and can't fight!"
In the army, there will be competition between units of the same level, which is conducive to stimulating the blood and competitive consciousness of the soldiers. In fact, they are just joking with each other. Wang Haitao and Jiang Jianjun have been squeezed by Xie Yuanchao these days, otherwise they would not have rushed to restore the training volume to normal.
After hearing what Xie Yuanchao said, the two men wanted to drag him out and fight him for three hundred rounds.
However, Qin Muye frowned after hearing this. He asked Xie Yuanchao, "Is there really no one sick in your camp?"
Xie Yuanchao’s tail was almost up in the air, “No, not even one.”
Qin Muye was a little confused about this.
If Xie Yuanchao himself had spent five years on the plateau, it was understandable that he had no difficulty adapting to the plateau, but how could the seven hundred officers and soldiers under him adapt so quickly?
Qin Muye glanced at Xie Wan, who shook his head. It seemed that Xie Wan had not given Xie Yuanchao any secret recipe. Qin Muye thought about it and thought that Xie Wan had been in Japan for some time, so he had no time to care about Xie Yuanchao's affairs.
Qin Muye smiled and said, "Third Battalion Commander, if you have any good ideas, don't keep them to yourself. Our regiment is one, tell me how you trained those soldiers and made them adapt so quickly."
Xie Yuanchao has been waiting for this moment these days. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wang Haitao and Jiang Jianjun, and said with great joy: "I started preparing from the day I received the notice of the rotation.
Our camp drank a glass of Rhodiola rosea water every day for a week in advance. And along the way, didn’t our camp do three walking exercises?
That was a special arrangement I made so that they could gradually adapt to the rising altitude.
They stopped for half a day at the 2,000-meter mark and for a whole day at the 3,000-meter mark. After they came up, we let them have a good rest and take a day to adapt.
