On the third day, Chinese troops concentrated their artillery fire and bombarded Lang Son fiercely, turning the city into a sea of fire. Chinese troops continued their assaults on other areas, and the enemy counterattacked, leading to a two-way battle.
The battle of Lang Son grew fiercer day by day, with the Chinese troops becoming increasingly courageous and determined to defeat the enemy.
In Sujia Village, Su Guomin and Zeng Huilan learned on the third day of the war that China had launched a counterattack in self-defense. Although they were ordinary citizens, they hoped for their country's victory. The couple never imagined that their daughter would go to war.
In Beijing, Huang Zhenhua reads the newspaper every day and watches the evening news on television. He tries to see his apprentice on the news.
Gu Jialiang Yun only learned about this a few days after Su Xingran left. Liang Yun thought that she hadn't seen Su Xingran for many days during the New Year. She and Gu Junru went to the Huang family's house and brought Su Xingran some snacks and other things they had bought at the Friendship Store.
Liang Yun went to the Huang family's house around late at night, by which time Su Xingran would have already finished work and gone home for dinner. After the couple arrived at the Huang family's house, Liang Yun asked Huang's mother why Su Xingran wasn't home since she had finished work.
Huang Ma didn't know how to bring it up with Liang Yun. She knew Liang Yun liked Su Xingran very much and cared for her deeply. But how could she tell him that Xingran wasn't home, that she had gone to the battlefield?
Seeing Huang Ma's expression, Liang Yun became suspicious and asked, "Huang Ma, has something happened to Xing Ran?"
"Xingran is alright, she went to the battlefield." Huang Zhenhua's voice rang out from behind.
Liang Yun turned around abruptly to look at Huang Zhenhua, her eyes filled with disbelief. Her voice was urgent as she asked, "How could Xingran go to the battlefield? She's not a soldier. Who arranged for her to go? It's so dangerous for such a young girl to go to the battlefield!"
Huang Zhenhua gestured to the sofa for the couple to sit down. "The higher-ups are transferring surgeons from the military hospital to the battlefield, and Xingran volunteered to go herself."
From the day Liang Yun learned that Su Xingran had gone to the battlefield, she, like Huang Zhenhua, read the newspaper and watched the news broadcast every day.
Su Xingran, whom many people were concerned about, was now so exhausted that she could barely straighten her back. The war continued, with Chinese troops using tanks to charge forward and destroy enemy strongpoints. Chinese soldiers stormed into the provincial government building in Lang Son City, raising the Chinese red flag atop the building. The Chinese troops participating in the war converged at the Ky Cung River Bridge.
On the night of March 2nd, enemy resistance was quelled, and the entire northern city of Lang Son was under the control of Chinese troops. According to the pre-battle plan, the entire area had now been captured, and the battle was over; the troops could now withdraw.
Su Xingran and Dr. Chen were currently treating a soldier who had been injured by an artillery shell and was unconscious. After examining the mangled, bloody leg with broken bones, Su Xingran and Dr. Chen reached a consensus.
The soldier's leg was beyond saving; the only way to save his life was to amputate it. After discussing it, the two decided that Dr. Chen would perform the amputation, with Su Xingran assisting.
After Dr. Chen severed the leg, Su Xingran immediately began treatment. In this makeshift operating room, sterilization standards were far from met. Su Xingran did her best to ensure thorough sterilization, hoping to alleviate the great soldier's subsequent pain.
During her brief rest after the surgery, Su Xingran recalled the details of the battle as recorded in the documents. Due to the actions of the Yuenan government, the Chinese forces were thoroughly enraged, and the commander-in-chief surnamed Xu consulted the Central Military Commission. He then ordered the troops to continue their advance and cross the Qiqiong River.
