Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ning Zhiheng finally couldn't take it anymore. He turned to Doctor Li and asked, "Doctor Li, how many doses of sulfamethoxazole are needed to ensure my brother's safety?"
Everyone's faces lit up with joy upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, clearly indicating that he was ready to relent. They immediately turned their attention to Doctor Li's face.
Dr. Li immediately felt the pressure increase. He could only smile wryly and say, "Your brother is young and strong, with a good constitution. With the effects of sulfonamide, there shouldn't be any infection. If you want to be on the safe side, you can keep another vial as a backup. Two vials of sulfonamide should be enough!"
Upon hearing Dr. Li's words, everyone immediately turned their attention to Ning Zhiheng's face. Ning Zhiheng had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I can give you one."
Upon hearing this, everyone relaxed, and Wu Tongguang was overjoyed, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, brother, thank you for saving my life!"
Ning Zhiheng pulled him up and said sincerely, "You're a man of great loyalty to your comrades-in-arms, to go to such lengths for them!"
After he finished speaking, he handed the medicine box in his hand to the female nurse next to him. The female nurse quickly took out a vial of sulfamethoxazole and went forward to inject it into the unconscious officer.
The matter came to a satisfactory conclusion. Wu Tongguang was extremely grateful to Ning Zhiheng. After learning Ning Zhiheng's name, he thanked him repeatedly and promised to repay him in the future.
Just then, two wounded officers exchanged a glance, and finally one of them spoke up: "Major Ning, since you have connections to find medicine, could you get some more? Don't misunderstand, we're not doing this for ourselves. The number of wounded soldiers in this hospital is increasing, and many brothers are giving up every day. These are all soldiers who defend our country, and it's such a pity that they're leaving like this!"
“That’s right! Major Ning, we’re all comrades in the army, we can’t just watch them die like this. I have some valuables at home, I’m willing to take them all out, as long as you have the connections, please help them!” The officers standing to the side pleaded.
Even Dr. Li and the nurse looked at Ning Zhiheng with hopeful eyes. Ning Zhiheng was a little helpless. Of course, he wanted to find some medicine for his comrades in the army and find a way to survive, but he didn't know if he could do it. After all, he had only arrived in Shanghai late last night and did not know the specific situation. Maybe Ji Hongyi and You Laoliu could have some solutions.
Ning Zhiheng thought about it carefully and said, "I will try to think of a way, but I can't guarantee it. If it really doesn't work, don't blame me."
Everyone was overjoyed to hear Ning Zhiheng's agreement. They knew that Shanghai's medical resources were exhausted, and these wounded soldiers could only leave their fate to chance, with very little chance of survival. Now that there was even a glimmer of hope, it was all good.
Ning Zhiheng was unwilling to linger any longer. He reached out and took the medicine box from the nurse's hand. There was one last vial of sulfonamide inside, and he couldn't allow any more accidents to happen.
He then said to Dr. Li, "Dr. Li, I'm entrusting my brother to you. I'll come to see him again tomorrow. If there's a relapse, please administer the medicine immediately!"
With that, he strode out of the ward. Seeing the corridor lined with wounded soldiers, who were groaning in pain, he felt heavy-hearted and quickly left, arriving outside the hospital.
At this moment, Sun Jiacheng and the other two were still waiting for him by the roadside. As soon as they saw him come out, they quickly came up to him. Ji Hongyi asked, "Team leader, how is your brother doing?"
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said to You Laoliu, "Laoliu, you've helped me a lot this time, and I'll never forget it. I happen to have something to discuss with you, so let's go back to the camp and talk!"
You Laoliu immediately agreed, and the group quickly returned to the special agent brigade's base. Ning Zhiheng invited You Laoliu into his office, personally poured him tea, and presented it to him. You Laoliu quickly stood up to offer it to him.
After gesturing for everyone to sit down, Ning Zhiheng looked at You Laoliu and asked, "Laoliu, you know the situation today. The medicines at Nanshi Hospital are almost exhausted, but our wounded are increasing. I'm planning to get some medicines for these wounded brothers. Do you have any good ideas?"
Before coming, Ji Hongyi had already explained the situation clearly, and You Laoliu was prepared. He nodded and said, "Captain Ning, let me explain the situation to you in detail."
As You Laoliu recounted the story, Ning Zhiheng gained some understanding of the situation at the major hospitals in Nanshi.
In fact, the major hospitals had sufficient reserves of medicines before, but no one expected the battle to be so fierce. As the number of wounded increased, the medicines were quickly depleted, and the supplies from the rear were woefully inadequate. Later, as the war dragged on, it became impossible to sustain them.
Fortunately, since the beginning of the month, many anti-Japanese groups had organized fundraising throughout Shanghai, and people from all walks of life actively participated. A large amount of money was raised to purchase medicines and supplies in the concessions, but most of it was sent to the central and left-wing battlefields, since those were the main battlefields, where the fighting was most intense and the number of wounded was the highest.
However, some of the medicines were sent to Nanshi, which alleviated the shortage of medicines.
The Japanese concentrated most of their military forces west of the Huangpu River, and the fighting on the right flank was still manageable.
However, the good times didn't last long. After the Japanese occupied Puxi, their forces turned to Pudong. The landing operations became more and more frequent and intense. The right flank battlefield became increasingly strained, and the number of casualties increased. As a rear base, Nanshi's medical and logistical support gradually became unsustainable, leading to the scene Ning Zhiheng had witnessed earlier.
