On the third day after Mu Huaixi arrived at the new base, he had already won the love and support of all the soldiers.
The anthelmintics and anti-malaria pills she brought were extremely effective. Although they were used in small areas, they greatly improved everyone's quality of life. The herbal tea she brewed finally made a group of northerners feel less damp and hot.
"It's this herbal tea, can it be less bitter?" The young soldier drank a mouthful of the pitch-black herbal tea and was forced to put on a mask of pain, looking ferocious for a long time.
Mu Huaixi stirred the bubbling medicinal tea pot like a witch brewing a mysterious potion. Upon hearing this, she curled her lips and said, "No. Herbal tea is not bitter and can eliminate dampness."
The little soldier grimaced, but Mu Huaixi told him to drink it all in one breath. He mustered up the courage to gulp it down, grabbed his throat and fell to the ground. He coughed for a long time before getting up and staggering back.
New teams have been arriving here these days, and seeing him like this, they couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with him?"
"It's okay, it's okay." The old man put his arm around his shoulders and led him to Mu Huaixi's residence. "We have a tradition in our base. If you come, I want to drink a cup of tea. We are good brothers for life."
"Really?" The man didn't question it at all, and even tapped his chest. "Don't worry, we're destined to be together, so we're best brothers!"
Not long after, the newcomer also collapsed in front of the bubbling cauldron with a hideous face. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He pointed at the person who brought him here and could not speak for a long time.
Mu Huaixi looked at this group of people, smiled and shook his head.
The atmosphere in the base is actually very relaxed, but there is an invisible high-voltage line beneath the calm and clear water surface. Although the young soldiers are laughing and joking here, they are training every day and are ready to set off immediately.
Mu Huaixi was not idle either. The area around the new base was very quiet, and there was no need to deal with various knife and gunshot wounds like before, but she did not relax at all. She took the medical soldiers stationed there to dig herbs and make ointments. Thanks to the fact that she had applied for more medical supplies when she came, she was able to make such luxurious medicine.
As the room assigned to her gradually filled up, her heart gradually settled down.
That night, Mu Huaixi put the newly made golden spear paste into a bamboo basket, carved a mark on the wooden pillar, and then lay down on the bed with his clothes on.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Mu Huaixi suddenly opened her eyes and heard the small but rapid noises outside. She jumped out of bed, quickly put on the prepared medicine box, and stuffed the dagger into the secret compartment behind the medicine box.
She pushed open the door and saw the camp was brightly lit. Soldiers were gathering in platoons. They were neatly equipped and moving in unison. Led by the platoon leader, they trotted towards the assembly point in front of the camp.
Mu Huaixi also saw several medics moving towards her. They looked a little messy among the rows of soldiers, but each of them was carrying a medical backpack.
Several people nodded to her and went straight into the house. According to what they had discussed before, they put the bamboo baskets prepared by Mu Huaixi on their backpacks and got ready to set off.
This time, no one came to talk to Mu Huaixi. Her professionalism from the time she arrived at the station until now has conquered everyone. The officers here only admired her and did not show too much concern for her, which made her feel relieved.
From the time Mu Huaixi woke up to the time everyone gathered, it should have taken no more than eight minutes, which also included the time spent waiting for the single-person radio operator and other logistics soldiers to get ready and assemble.
The highest-ranking officer stationed there was also Captain Huang. He was short and spoke with a Hunan accent, but he was extremely dignified.
Mu Huaixi stood in the logistics team. In front of him was a sea of people, but the entire assembly point was extremely quiet. Only the loud voice of Captain Huang echoed over the open space.
"One! Check weapons!"
"Two! Secure the supplies!"
"Three! Attention!"
Everyone followed his instructions. Mu Huaixi also checked the medicine box and the prepared dry food. The only sound on the open ground was the clatter of weapons. Finally, everyone held their heads high and waited for the commander's inspection!
Mu Huaixi was inexplicably excited.
She had seen the formations assembled at camp, but being in the middle of it was something completely different.
We can clearly feel that this is a well-disciplined team, a vigorous team, a team that is ready to go and eager for victory!
Standing in such a team, the last bit of worry in Mu Huaixi's heart dissipated like clouds meeting the wind, and was replaced by the confidence of victory!
The garrison troops marched out in full force, walking silently in the early morning rainforest like a long winding dragon.
The logistics team that Mu Huaixi was in was installed at the back of the middle of the long dragon. It was the safest and most relaxed position. They only needed to follow the troops in front.
"Doctor Mu, the foot patch you made is really comfortable," Xiao Zhao, the medical soldier walking beside her, praised silently and gave her a thumbs up.
Mu Huaixi smiled back and continued to move forward. It was not that she was unwilling to chat, but the quiet atmosphere was just right, and she took bigger steps.
Unlike the advance of a small team, such a large march could not fail to be discovered by the enemy, but the commander, Captain Huang, had a sharp style, like a hungry wolf, leading the team to three consecutive victories, two encounters, and one camp capture, which greatly boosted morale.
Mu Huaixi and the medical soldiers also became busy. Thanks to the various medicinal materials they prepared in advance and the various emergency plans that Mu Huaixi had simulated through drills, all the treatments were carried out in an orderly manner.
After three battles, Captain Huang’s marching method was incomprehensible to everyone.
He led his troops to camp by a river and stopped.
Mu Huaixi also heard their discussions and doubts, but soon there was an order from the army and all the discussions disappeared.
Although she only heard a few words, she roughly understood the current situation. There were three camps stationed on the opposite side, forming a pincer posture to guard each other, and this place was exactly the shallowest part of the river. If she wanted to go around it through the three camps, it might take a longer time.
She didn't know how to fight, so she could only try her best to do what she should do so that the injured soldiers could return to the battlefield as soon as possible.
As they conducted more reconnaissance, more scouts came across the river to investigate the situation. Mu Huaixi heard the noise several times at night. The area around the camp became more relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside, and the inspections and patrols were secretly strengthened.
The two sides went back and forth, and many small-scale conflicts broke out. Then the vanguard crossed the river back and forth, confusing the enemy on the opposite side. After a back-and-forth struggle, they launched a general attack!
The sound of artillery fire continued for five days, and Mu Huaixi waited for the good news of victory on this side of the river!
Later she learned that the method of crossing the river was actually discussed by Ying Mingcheng and Captain Huang through radio waves. When the spearhead team passed here, they found out the deployment of the three enemy camps and the signals and methods of mutual support.
Captain Huang’s previous pulling was a verification of his “acting skills” and was also intended to paralyze the enemy, but in fact it was to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!
