When we were chatting on the train, we learned that several major military regions across the country took turns to fight this time, and because of the insufficient preparation of friendly forces, the casualty rate was a bit unsatisfactory.
This time, the Eastern Military Region dispatched two armies, a total of four reorganized divisions to the battlefield, plus logistics troops, totaling more than 100,000 people. Therefore, the central government’s order this time is to do a good job in medical treatment and reduce casualties.
The Eastern Military Region has not fought a war for a long time since liberation, and there are only three directly affiliated military hospitals left, namely the Eastern Military Region General Hospital, Shanghai Naval Hospital, and Lin'an 117 Hospital.
The remaining military hospitals were converted into local hospitals and separated from the military sequence.
In order to ensure the safety of the soldiers' lives and eliminate any worries, the three military district-affiliated hospitals alone are not enough, so the military district has recruited all the reserve veteran military doctors.
At critical moments, soldiers still believe in the doctors trained by their own troops, who have strong ideas and reliable skills.
Military doctors who have been baptized by war have a calmness and composure that ordinary doctors cannot achieve in critical moments, and their technical level is more suitable for the battlefield.
Gunshot wounds, shelling wounds, burns, combined injuries and other war injuries are not something that ordinary surgeons can handle. Moreover, the conditions in field hospitals are quite simple, and many of them do not even have shadowless lamps.
At such a critical moment, pampered surgeons are useless, and the technical advantages and psychological qualities of field doctors are reflected.
In addition to the three hospitals directly under the military region, this time there are doctors and nurses from three other former military hospitals, forming a medical team of 800 people.
On the special train, Chen Xia was particularly eye-catching because he brought five large suitcases, while other doctors often only had a small suitcase and a large backpack on their backs.
So many military doctors from other hospitals started to point fingers at him, making fun of him, saying that he must be a playboy, as he brought so many suitcases with him to the war. If you didn't know him, you would think he was going on a trip.
Even Gu Wei felt embarrassed. His son-in-law was too shameful and too spoiled. He had even lost the hard-working and simple style of the army.
"You little brat, didn't your General Affairs Department already pack up the food, medicine, and daily necessities and store them in the luggage compartment for check-in? Why are you bringing so many boxes? What the hell is in them?"
"Hey, Dad, don't underestimate the things in these five boxes. These are good things I prepared for the people in our hospital. You'll know when the time comes. Hehe."
What else is there? This is Chen Xia's trick. He has hidden all the good stuff in the space hospital, but this time he is going to the army, which is isolated from the world.
If he takes out some special medicines, or food or drinks from time to time, how do you explain it then?
So he had to bring five large boxes with him so that he would have an excuse in the future and would not have to call the disciplinary forces before he could eat the canned beef.
After five days of bumpy rides, both by train and by truck, Chen Xia followed the large group to the Niuershan area.
A group of medical workers with swollen legs got off the train and followed the main force to the front line.
The dirt road in the mountains was always busy with traffic, all of them were large green military trucks, some transporting supplies, some transporting soldiers, and also many transporting the wounded.
This war was so cruel that it not only caused casualties to the enemy several times greater than ours, but also caused huge losses to our army.
Every major war will result in the sacrifice of a large number of soldiers, and countless more will be injured.
As for small battles, they happen every day. Cold guns are fired from the cat ear holes at any moment. The accumulation of small battles causes shocking casualties.
At the same time, not only combat casualties, but also the harsh natural environment in the Niuer Mountain area is an important cause of soldiers' injuries, especially small epidemics of infectious diseases, which is Ren Yuanfei's specialty.
When everyone arrived at the rear base camp, it was bustling with activity everywhere.
The soldiers all had experience. After getting off the bus, everyone sat together on the playground. There was no loud noise, and no one whispered to each other. Only the bright eyes revealed everyone's excitement.
Especially the rumbling sound of artillery shells coming from the distant battlefield made these military doctors excited.
About half an hour later, several soldiers came out to receive the troops. The officers did not say any fancy words or polite remarks, but started issuing orders right away.
"Everyone from the Eastern Military Region Medical Team, please stand."
In a flash, 800 people stood up in an orderly manner, and both sides saluted each other. Even Gu Wei gave a standard military salute.
Chen Xia was embarrassed now. He was only a reservist, so his salute was certainly not standard, causing the military doctors from other hospitals nearby to roll their eyes.
"Comrades, the fighting is intense, and our casualties are very heavy. Based on the battlefield, our army is divided into eight sectors, each with 100 men. All supplies are to be carried by their respective teams. Now, I will announce the composition of each team."
Among them, Yuezhou People's Hospital (formerly 119 Hospital) and Suzhou Xi City People's Hospital (formerly 113 Hospital) jointly formed a joint medical team and entered the front-line area N.
After the division was completed, everyone got on the truck without saying a word and headed towards their respective defense areas.
The closer they got to the front line, the louder the sound of artillery fire became. Meanwhile, large trucks carrying wounded soldiers could be seen speeding through the mountains. Chen Xia even spotted a truck with all the "wounded" covered in white sheeting.
Everyone on the truck was in a heavy mood.
Dean Gu patted his son-in-law's hand and said, "Xiao Xia, we don't have to go to the front lines. We will mainly be rescuing the wounded in the hospital in the rear camp. Don't be too nervous. Also, as the head of the logistics department, you must ensure the distribution of all medicines and daily necessities."
"Don't worry, Dean, I know what I'm doing and I won't let you down!"
"Okay, no matter what, you must return safely. Xiaolin is waiting for you, and the three dolls are waiting for you too."
When Chen Xia left home, the three babies could already speak. They called "Dad" in their baby voices, which surprised him so much that he kissed one and hugged the other, looking very happy.
Especially his favorite little daughter, Chen Ziyou, with her two big black eyes, is extremely cute.
Moreover, little Youyou especially likes to be held by Chen Xia. Every time he sees his father coming home from get off work, the little guy will sit on the children's bed, stretch out his arms for a hug, and shout "Dad", which can simply melt people's hearts.
Chen Xia recalled his babies with a little sadness, and nodded firmly: "Dad, we all have to go home safely!"
On the truck, everyone raised their fists firmly: "Chen Xia is right, we all have to go home safely!"
Outside the car, there was another round of fierce bombardment...
