Chapter 3 third chapter

The autumn Qingxiang of the Japanese has begun.In fact, wars were also very frequent before this, which actually blurred the boundary between Qingxiang and not.If the eyes of the Japanese in the summer clearing were fixed on food, the purpose of the autumn clearing was to eliminate the effective forces of resistance against Japan.Kitano is an unlucky general, not to mention that he lost his position as brigade commander for no reason, and after surrendering to the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army on this small piece of ground, he is still in a state of depression, and he always fights badly. He should have fought well I can't play well either.Failure again and again made him unable to hold his head up in front of his boss.In the eyes of his superiors, he is an incompetent, an unlucky ghost, and a clown.For an orthodox soldier, what could be more sad than this?After several failures, he thought about suicide.But think about the wife and children at home, and give up.So he put all his bets on this Qingxiang.

The Japanese were busy with the Qingxiang war, and temporarily put the matter of the old horse on hold.Although the enemy worker of the anti-Japanese team gritted his teeth until he died, the Japanese were still unwilling to let him die with a mind full of secrets.They wanted to stay for a while, not sure if it would be useful in the future.They continued to imprison the old horse.Gao Tian and Su Yuan were very fortunate to have such a rare turning point.They had a buffer time and were able to formulate a plan for rescuing the old horse in more detail. Another must-do thing for Su Yuan was to follow Lao Hu's instructions to promptly report the action plans of the Japanese and puppet troops in the city to the anti-Japanese troops.That is to say, Su Yuan has actually become an enemy worker lurking in the enemy camp.Although only Lao Hu knows this.Su Yuan thought this was a turning point in his own destiny, and he was happy and proud of it.It should be said that he has certain convenient conditions for being an enemy worker. He can enter and leave the headquarters of Kitano and operate under the noses of the enemy; deaf.Lao Hu's demands on him can be roughly divided into two categories.One is that under normal circumstances, one piece of information will be given out once a week, and it will be sent to the tree hole of an old tree in the woods, and Lao Hu will regularly pick it up.The other is to act according to the instructions that Lao Hu put in the tree hole under special circumstances.Su Yuan is very serious and responsible for implementing Lao Hu's instructions, and he regards Lao Hu as his superior.

The first information he gave was the exact time when the enemy cleared the countryside. Kitano personally led the main force to march towards Zeshan.Zeshan's anti-Japanese forces have always been his confidant's serious trouble, and he has suffered from them when he first set foot on this land.In the past few months, he has sent troops to encircle and suppress the area twice, but neither has worked.This time, I was determined to remove the nail.In order to make up for the shortage of troops, he took joint action with the 38th Regiment stationed in Haiyang.Captain Yamamoto Kiichi led the main force to join forces with his troops in Guanzhuang, and then attacked the mountain.

At noon the next day, the team arrived at Guanzhuang at the foot of Zeshan Mountain, and the 38th Regiment arrived a little later.It rained suddenly in the afternoon, and attacking the mountain in the rain was not good for the Japanese army who was not familiar with the terrain, so they stood still and waited for the rain to stop. The people have all run away, leaving only an empty village.The Japanese army camped in the village, and the puppet army camped in a nearby village.In order to facilitate the rescue after the battle broke out, according to the orders of Kitano and Captain Yamamoto, the military medical brigade led by Su Yuan and the military medical brigade of the 38th regiment formed a temporary field hospital. As the dean, Takada as the vice dean.The hospital was housed in a dilapidated Catholic church in the village.Arranged the operating room, ward.After everything was ready, the military doctors returned to their respective residences to rest and stand by.

Gao Tian arranged Su Yuan to live in a private house with himself on the grounds of secretly monitoring the actions of the Chinese doctor Su Yuan. His real intention was to discuss the "Life Channel" project with Su Yuan.Since Su Yuan already regarded himself as an enemy worker of the anti-Japanese team, and his cooperation with Takata also contributed to the Chinese people's anti-Japanese war, so this time following the Japanese army's action, he was psychologically calmer. The sound of the rain fell asleep.After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he felt someone pushing him. When he woke up, he saw Gao Tian standing in front of the kang, Gao Tian looked flustered.

"Get up, listen to me, that bastard Yagi is going to commit crimes!" Gao Tian said, his voice visibly trembling. Su Yuan sat up, looked at Gao Tian and asked, "What are you going to do?" "The 38th Regiment captured a farmer outside the village, saying he was an enemy worker of the anti-Japanese team, but nothing was found out, so he handed it over to Yagi to deal with it himself." "What do you mean self-handling?" Su Yuan was puzzled. "Anatomy." "Dissecting a living person?" Su Yuan's eyes widened. "Well. The Japanese military doctors have done this kind of thing more than once. Most of the military doctors of the 38th Regiment are newcomers who just came from China. They have no experience in field rescue, and some have never held a scalpel. Yagi wants to take advantage of the gap between wars. Dissect this Chinese to demonstrate to his military doctors..."

Su Yuan's whole body trembled involuntarily, he could hardly restrain himself, he felt a chill leaking from his bones, he couldn't believe it was true. "No... can't save... save this farmer?" It took Su Yuan a long time to say this. Takata shook his head: "Yagi's people are already preparing in the operating room, and this matter has the support of Captain Yamamoto." "They are a bunch of beasts!" Su Yuan said through gritted teeth. "It's not even as good as words." Gao Tian said, "the field hospital of the 117th Division once performed an autopsy on a living person. Inject air into the veins and kill people."

Su Yuan had nothing to say, and could only pant heavily.He felt that his blood vessels had also been injected with air by the Japanese, his body became stiff little by little, and he was about to die... "If you want to save him, there is only one possibility...Did you hear that, Doctor Su?" "What did you say?" Su Yuan really didn't hear anything. "If you want to save him, there is only one way, we get involved..." "What did you say? We also joined their crimes?" Su Yuan glared at Military Doctor Takata. "Calm down, Dr. Su, the purpose of our participation is to save the life of that Chinese citizen, not to collude with Yagi and others. Of course, I don't need to explain this. It's hard to say that we will be able to save him if we participate, but he will die if we don't participate." Undoubtedly," Takata said.

silence. Takata said again: "Mr. Su, listen to my plan. If we decide to participate in this matter, I will immediately negotiate with Captain Yagi, saying that our military medical team also wants to use this opportunity to conduct on-site teaching and divide the operation into two parts." Partly, after Yagi’s autopsy, we will do the suturing operation... Dr. Su, what is your blood type?” "Type O." "It's the doctor's blood type, that's great. Maybe a blood transfusion will be needed in the end. Because it's impossible to type that person beforehand, only type O blood."

"Of course I am happy to donate blood. Is this the only thing I have to do?" Su Yuan asked. "Not only that." Takata said, "We divided this matter into two parts, or call it two operations, Yagi's 'Devil Operation' and our 'Angel Operation', of course you are conducting 'Angel Operation' 'Yes, but I can't, I have to participate in their 'devil's operation'. You think, when a group of military doctors perform anatomy with the death of a living person as the final outcome, they will not follow the rules of surgery, and any A little fuss will make our plan fail, so I have to supervise on the spot. You can be my assistant or I can be your assistant when we carry out our plan. It is up to you. Of course, you can also Did not give me a final answer, whether to participate in the action I mentioned above..."

Why are devils and angels so close together!Su Yuan's heart was full of sadness.At the same time, he wanted to use that word that also had a sad connotation. Again he had no choice. It's ironic that the heinous crime of dissecting a living person is being practiced in a Catholic church.Yagi's people had already entered the operating room, and Gao Tian asked his people, including Su Yuan, to wait in the "ward" next to the operating room.Su Yuan sat silently with a heavy heart. He felt a little dizzy and wanted to vomit. He remembered that this happened when he saw his teacher perform an operation for the first time as a medical student.That's a long way off.Several young Japanese military doctors couldn't suppress their inner excitement, and their expressions looked strange, making it impossible to tell whether it was excitement or fear.Some were flicking through Belinkov's "Regional Anatomy" and "Field Surgery" by Professor Takahashi of Chiba Medical University. At this time, Takata has entered the operating room crowded with Yagi's military doctors.Yagi was telling his subordinates in a triumphant and authoritative tone the items to be done and the goals to be achieved in this autopsy.Seeing Takata enter, Yagi asked politely: "Mr. Takata, do you have anything to say? Takata seized this opportunity immediately. He said: "First of all, I would like to thank Dean Yagi for sharing this rare opportunity with me and my subordinates. We share. Gao Ri observed the dirty joy on Yagi's face as he put the top hat of "Dean" on Yagi. He continued, "I believe we will have a perfect cooperation."In order to achieve this goal, I first made a request to Dean Yagi that I would act as his assistant. On the one hand, I could learn from Dean Yagi, and on the other hand, I could help Dean Yagi take care of some things. Can you agree? "Yagi quickly replied: "Of course I agree, I just gave in to the senior senior captain. "Gao Tian said: "In addition, I would like to make a request to all the military doctors. I think Dean Yagi must have made my request to you. He treats us as our wounded fellow brothers and must be strictly regulated and meticulous.Only then will we be able to make no mistake in rescuing our brethren. Yagi Fukai said, "That's right."I hope everyone will follow Captain Takada's request. At this time, a military doctor in his thirties named Shui Gu asked: "Should we carry out strict disinfection?" Yagi said awkwardly: "Of course, there is no need to talk about it." "So Yagi's military doctors acted immediately. When everything was ready for the real operation, the Chinese farmer was escorted into the operating room by two sergeants.He looks twenty-seven or eight years old. From the side view, he has a wide forehead and bright eyes. His bald head has just grown some hair, and his lips are tightly closed, which makes people feel a kind of tenacious spirit.But his face was pale, there were scars on his face, and there were traces of torture on his black clothes.After he came in, his mood seemed calm, and he couldn't help looking out the window. Outside the window, he could see Zeshan standing in front of him shrouded in rain and mist. He has not yet realized that he is about to be killed. "Let's get started, Takashi-kun?" Yagi said, at this time he already regarded Takata as his assistant. Takata nodded. The Chinese was forced onto the operating table by two sergeants, but he didn't understand what he was going to do. The sergeants pushed him so hard that he had no choice but to sit on the operating table, but he was puzzled and looked around. At this time, Yagi walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said a few words, which the Chinese could not understand, but Takata heard clearly what Yagi said was "sleep, sleep." Seeing that the Chinese didn't respond, the sergeant knocked him down coldly and put his arm on his head. Another sergeant hurried forward to press him down. The Chinese shouted loudly: "What are you going to do? I don't know what to do." Sick, I'm not sick..." At this time, Mizutani quickly put gauze soaked in ethyl chloride on the mouth and nose of the Chinese.The Chinese resisted desperately and wanted to sit up. At this time, the first four or five Japanese military doctors all rushed to press him down firmly, and the operating table shook violently.A medical soldier tied the Chinese thigh to the operating table with a soft rope used for surgery. The Chinese still resisted desperately, shaking his head from side to side vigorously, trying to shake off the gauze from his mouth, but gradually stopped, and his breathing became weak. Steady, the body went limp.It appears that the anesthesia helped. "It's really exhausting... Mizutani-kun, you can switch to acetic acid now!" Mizutani nodded, he quickly put the gauze on the prepared mask, and then dripped ether onto it.At this time, the Chinese had completely entered a state of anesthesia, and their breathing was very steady, as if they were in a deep sleep. "Okay, we won, he can't laugh or cry now." Mizutani said. The sergeant who brought the Chinese down just now seemed to feel very fresh, and asked, "Does he know nothing now?" "He's already asleep." Mizutani said with a smile, "Don't worry about him running away now, even if his hands are cut off, he will still sleep. He has already gone to the Paradise of Elysium. Compared with being shot, this way of death is more comfortable. Much more, this is exactly the merit of our doctors, hahaha..." Takata felt his stomach churning. At this time, surgical instruments were pushed in from the outside.Mizutani handed the ether bottle to a health soldier named Morishita, and asked him to perform anesthesia, and then change the surgical gown by himself.The first to hold the knife was the first lieutenant named Nitta, and Mizutani served as his first assistant.Of course, Yagi is the commander of the whole operation, but usually he just moves his mouth and doesn't move his hands. "Then, let's start." Yagi said in a nonchalant tone while ordering the anesthesia to be stopped. First of all, the clothes of the Chinese people must be stripped.Two health soldiers turned the unconscious body over and pulled off the jacket from behind.Gao Tian saw that the bloodshot marks under the skin from the neck to the back of the Chinese had turned black and purple.The pants of the Chinese were also stripped off, and they lay naked on the operating table. Once again, the Chinese thighs were tied to the operating table with ropes. Under the supervision of Takata, they were carefully sterilized from head to lower abdomen. A medical soldier took a drape from the sterilizer with pliers and covered it from head to toe in China. on people. Military doctor Nitta was a little nervous, and his face looked a little dull.It was only later that the senior senior military doctor found out that he had quite a lot of clinical experience in internal medicine, but he was half a bottle of jealousy in surgery. He asked to be the surgeon because he wanted to get a practice opportunity for himself.But at the senior year of high school, he strongly realized that this military doctor Xintian would completely mess things up, and he had to be removed immediately.He felt that the most suitable surgeon was Yagi, who was proficient in surgery.He turned to Yagi, who was standing behind the New Fourth Army doctor, and said, "President Yagi, everyone expects you to be a demonstration, so please don't hesitate to teach me." Yagi was taken aback for a while, then smiled and said, "I heard that Takada-kun's medical skills are amazing, why don't I ask you to do it for everyone to see." Takata shook his head and said, "Who in the Chinese dispatched army doesn't know that Dean Yagi is outstanding in surgery, don't you think, Nitta military doctor?" Military doctor Nitta smirked and said, "I think what Captain Takata said is right, and Dean Yagi should demonstrate it to everyone." Yagi nodded rather proudly, and said, "Then help me disinfect." After the disinfection, Yagi stood beside the operating table in a very proud manner, making a posture that everyone looked forward to. At this time, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Takata's mind. He realized that saving the life of this Chinese man today is just another form of his "life channel". If he can succeed, there will be more Chinese people have benefited from this, why didn't they think of it before?He was thrilled by his new discovery. Mizutani, who suddenly became Yagi's assistant, seems to have a kind of pride of greatly increased social status. He ostentatiously handles the cover cloth on the Chinese body with skillful movements, expands the crack in the middle, and then fixes it on the lower abdomen.Then make room for Yagi.Yagi walked over, looked at the operating table, raised the hemostatic forceps and drew a line lightly on the Chinese skin, saying: "From this place to this place. The skin needs to be cut to the subcutaneous tissue in one cut, and the second step is to cut the skin." With a knife, it will be difficult to heal the incision in the future." After Yagi finished speaking, he used the tip of the scalpel to cut a five-centimeter incision in the place he had scratched just now. The snow-white subcutaneous tissue could be seen from the incision, but the seeping blood soon overflowed to the incision.Yagi said: "The incision can be made smaller, but the operation is not successful if the opening is small. This time, I opened the incision a little more for everyone to see clearly." When Yagi spoke, the blood on the incision had already started to flow to the hospital. on the skin.In this situation, the bleeding must be stopped immediately, but Mizutani just listened to Yagi's lecture and didn't move.Gao Tian yelled at him: "Mr. Mizutani, stop the bleeding quickly!" Mizutani used the hemostatic forceps to pinch it, but it was not clamped well. The military doctor Nitta who was standing aside helped him wipe the bleeding part with gauze, and finally clamped it. Yagi used the scalpel to extend the incision further down, and peeled off the sticky subcutaneous tissue from the film, exposing the peach-colored muscles.The membranes at the junction of the abdominal longitudinal muscles and the abdominal muscles fuse to form a white line. Yagi pointed to the white line with the tip of the scalpel and said: "At this junction, the muscle cannot be cut. There is a form of peritoneum between the muscles. This is the straight outer edge incision method. Use the scalpel to cut the white line. Cut the diaphragm along the inner side of the diaphragm, and use this as the base point to cut up and down.” After Yagi finished speaking, he picked up the pliers to pick up the diaphragm, pulled it up and down with blunt hooks, and finally reached the peritoneum.The exposed peritoneum is thin and pale yellow in color.Then Yagi expanded the scalpel to the left and right, and finally lifted the peritoneum carefully with the tip of the forceps. "Hey, hold the hooked tweezers in the left hand and the scalpel in the right hand." Yagi said, "When the peritoneum is cut to open the abdominal cavity, it is the same for both parts, but the surgeon and the assistant first lift the peritoneum with forceps, that is, In order not to hurt the intestines together with the peritoneum!" Yagi finally cut open the peritoneum, stuffed a ball of gauze into the abdominal cavity, pressed his fingers in the abdominal cavity, and the abdominal cavity opened up. "Hey, Mizutani-kun, please pull out the appendix for everyone to see." Mizutani was very proud, and clamped one end of the peritoneum with pliers.In the deathly silence of the operating room there was the clatter of peritoneal forceps.After a long time, Mizutani still couldn't find the appendix. Yagi said: "A little further out, it's not the small intestine, pull out the thick one!" After being instructed, Shui Gu finally pulled out a slightly blue thick intestine from the abdominal cavity, and found the cecum under the thick intestine.The cecum is as thin as an earthworm and is white and light peach in color.Mizutani cut it off. The appendectomy is over.Mizutani looked up at Yagi and asked, "Do you want to sew?" Yagi said: "Suturing the abdominal cavity is another part of the training, but according to the agreement in advance, the final suturing will be done by Captain Takata. Let's proceed with our plan: observe the internal organs of living people. This is a very important thing for any surgeon. For everyone, it is an extremely rare opportunity. Let me do it for everyone to see." Yagi reached out and moved the opening of the cloth to the center of the abdomen, then quickly picked up the scalpel, and without hesitation, made a swipe from under the sternum, making a 15cm incision from the center of the abdomen to the navel, and then the scalpel was in the Turn around the left side of the navel, then cut down ten centimeters, and then open two centimeters to the left and right to reveal the white subcutaneous tissue.Seeing the seeping blood spreading, Mizutani hastily wiped the blood with gauze, and then quickly used the hemostatic forceps to stop the bleeding.Yagi used the tip of the scalpel to peel off the linea alba and subcutaneous tissue, and separated the membrane in the midline of the left belly. Bashu worked for a while, and then stopped to give a lecture: "When the local anesthesia fails completely, the patient is often very nervous, so the abdomen should be pressed no matter what. If the abdomen is opened too much, the intestines will come out. General anesthesia The abdomen has no strength at all, and it is relatively easy to operate. Nitta-kun, take a look, the intestines are at the bottom, right?" At this moment, the Chinese, who had been breathing calmly, suddenly began to talk in his sleep with a weak voice, uttered a sentence, and repeated it after a while.Neither Yagi nor his subordinates could understand Chinese, and out of curiosity, Yagi blurted out, "What is this guy talking about?" But no one answered.Military doctor Xin Tian looked up at military doctor Gao Tian and asked, "Captain Gao Tian, ​​don't you understand Chinese? What is he talking about?" Gao Tian said coldly: "He said that the corn in the field should be harvested in a few days." "Haha, breaking off corn tassels? I have a lot of things on my mind, I'm afraid I'll never be able to break them off!" Mizutani said happily. "So he is really not an enemy worker of the anti-Japanese team!" Said the military doctor Nitta. "Whatever those things are, for our experiment, isn't it the same whether he is an enemy worker or a farmer?" Mizutani said.After speaking, he was the first to observe the internal organs of Chinese people, glanced at the internal organs, and then looked at the anatomy book.The other military doctors craned their necks to see the fully exposed internal organs of the Chinese. The color of the stomach is pink, whitish, and smooth. Yagi said to everyone with a smile showing the fruits of victory: "Gentlemen, it has never been possible to fully see the physiological state of a healthy human body like today. Today, you should make good use of this opportunity to observe carefully." Stomach, duodenum, lungs, kidneys, liver... Mizutani checked and fiddled with them one by one.Like rummaging through mixed laundry in a laundry tub, carelessly.When he uncovered the gallbladder in his liver, he said to the military doctor Xintian next to him, "Why, do you want living gallbladder? It is said that it is more useful than bear gallbladder." Military doctor Nitta said: "The gallbladder is a nest of pathogenic bacteria!" Yagi corrected: "The gallbladder of a healthy person is fine." At this moment, Mizutani quickly pulled out the small intestine, and military doctor Nitta helped empty it, staring at it, and then put it back in place.During the process of emptying the intestines, the grassy smell of human internal organs radiated around. The large intestine, especially the S-shaped colon, and various internal organs not only have no lesions, but also have no abnormalities at all. They are completely internal organs of a healthy person. In this way, laparotomy, visceral pathology and anatomical examination were completed as planned.Takata looked at his watch, it lasted an hour and forty-seven minutes.He was already anxious.The longer the time, the more blood the person loses and the more difficult the subsequent rescue will be.He walked up to Yagi and said, "Dean Yagi, it's my turn to do it." Yagi said bluntly: "No problem, let's talk first. But you have to tell your people, don't spread this matter. And then you have to bury the body in the ground after the incident." Takada Nuli suppressed the anger in his heart, forced himself to listen to Yagi's words, and strode out of the operating room. As soon as Gao Tian stepped into the door of the ward, he yelled at Su Yuan and other subordinates: "Quick, it's our turn!" Su Yuan was the first to jump up from the chair.At this time, he saw from the door that Yagi and his group of military doctors came out of the operating room talking and laughing.These beasts in costumes!Su Yuan's heart was cursing.He stared at this group of "killers in white clothes" and trembled all over his body.He suddenly smelled a strong mixed smell wafting from the group.This smell is very similar to a local fishy smell called Plumeria japonica, which goes straight to people's foreheads, making people vomit and suffocate.Every time he smelled this smell, he even felt a little confused, just like what he was experiencing at the moment. When Kitano ambitiously launched an attack on the anti-Japanese troops at the foot of Zeshan Mountain, the entire Japanese overseas dispatched army has become the last of its strength.The United States landed on the corner of Leytai, where the fiercest sea battles began.The largest naval battle in the Philippines was actually the doomsday war for the Japanese combined fleet. Since then, the Japanese army no longer has "the possibility of continuing modern warfare."The Chinese army fighting in northern Myanmar counterattacked successively, and finally opened the Sino-Indian transportation war on the Ledo Highway; on the Chinese mainland battlefield, after the Japanese army captured Hengyang and Guilin, they failed to open the Hunan-Guangxi line as expected.More importantly, the Japanese army suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties in the whole battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, and there was a serious shortage of soldiers. From then on, it was difficult to organize a large-scale battle, and the defeat was imminent. Kitano didn't know about this, he only knew that he wanted to capture Zeshan, and if he captured Zeshan, he could save his own defeat.The battle went on for a day and a night, and his troops could not move any further when they reached the mountainside.At this time, he ordered the release of gas bombs, and ordered the few tanks to cover the infantry to attack the mountain.Later, the anti-Japanese troops on the mountain began to move in a planned way. For Second Lieutenant Kameda, his field of vision was naturally much narrower than that of Kitano.The war he saw was only a corner of Zeshan.Then only because he later made a more detailed account of the battle in "this corner", so the battle of Zeshan was very lucky to be preserved as a "historical" picture, so that later people can truly "witness" the tragedy at that time scene. Kameda wrote: "The sound of poisonous gas cannons was very loud. Soon, I saw countless pillars and yellow poisonous smoke on the top of the mountain surrounded by sprays. 'Gas bombs!' 'Put on a gas mask!' came from behind Shouting, everyone put on their gas masks in a panic. At this moment, the tank started, and the infantry followed behind and rushed up the mountain. About 50 meters behind the bombed bunker, the tank suddenly stopped moving forward.'Ah It’s a trench!’ At this moment, the anti-Japanese army’s position, which was originally peaceful, suddenly shot at us unpreparedly. I quickly lay down on the ground, and the sound of people falling down and the cries of being shot could be heard in my ears. Soon, the tanks in front crossed the trenches and moved forward again. They were tanks named "Tuo" and "Tuo". Holding the bundled grenade, he jumped out of the earthen bunker. At the moment of a sharp turn, the panicked 'Cui' collided with the 'Tsuka' on the right, making a terrible sound, 'Tsuka' slid down the valley, In an instant, the tracks rattled and white smoke rose from the tank. 'Tuo' was paralyzed by the grenade, and white smoke also rose. The tank soldiers didn't come out. I don't know if they were killed by the bomb or they were too frightened to come out. The attack was frustrated. So the second bombardment started. Fierce gunfire continued, and the mountain was covered by hundreds of gas bombs at the same time. In this situation, I saw the anti-Japanese fighters begin to evacuate. We rushed to the trenches on the top of the mountain while shooting. At this time, the yellow sun was already westward. There were anti-Japanese fighters and ordinary people in the trench who had not had time to retreat. Lieutenant Hosoda raised his knife and slashed at an anti-Japanese fighter who was wounded in the chest. He shouted: "Kill me! Kill them all." Light!' In the trenches, there were people with wet towels tied to their mouths; people with red and swollen eyes holding grenades and spitting blood. They all died of poison gas. The smell of poison gas still permeated the trenches. Occupation After the position, everyone became imposing, and the sound of gunshots and wounded soldiers could be heard everywhere. Captain Sanada pointed his pistol at the head of the wounded soldier and shot as he walked. He stopped a Cao Chang named Takahashi and said, "Look over there." There are two wounded soldiers, go and stab them to death. These two wounded soldiers are sitting on the ground. They are very young. They may have been shot in the leg, and their lower body was stained red with blood. Takahashi walks over with the rifle in hand. The gun stabbed, and there was a "boom" and a puff of black smoke rushed into the sky. After the smoke cleared, the two wounded soldiers were blown to pieces. Takahashi held his chest and screamed. Captain Sanada shouted: "Call the health guards!" Come!' He rushed to Takahashi and said, "You are so lucky, you will go to see God if you get closer by one meter." The soldier who just came up asked Takahashi; "Cao Chang, what's going on?" Takahashi said : "These two guys had a premonition that they were going to die, and wanted to detonate and die with me." The soldiers ran around and shot and killed the wounded like a game, until the order to "capture prisoners" came from above. After a while, more than 30 wounded The anti-Japanese fighters were gathered under a rock, and there were two young female fighters among them. A sergeant named Jiman came down from the mountain, saw these two female fighters, and said, "Hey, I want to kill that stinky bitch, take her Bring me here! 'One of the two female fighters was injured in the shoulder and the other was shot in the foot.Jiman insisted on killing the female warrior who had injured her foot.One soldier said: 'She can't go. Jimin shouted: "Bastard, drag me here!" ’ When the two soldiers were going to drag the female soldier, an anti-Japanese soldier who was very close to her protected her and said, ‘What are you going to do? ' A soldier stabbed him in the chest with a bayonet, and he fell dead on the ground.The female soldier struggled to stand up and walked to Jiman.Jiman chopped the female warrior to the ground with a wave of his hand, and then chopped a few times in a row.There was no sound around, and blood was everywhere on the ground.Jiman tilted his head and looked directly at the beautiful female warrior he had just killed.At this time, Yokoyama Colonel and his aides also came.Because the troops were gathered together, Manshan didn't know what happened. Seeing Jiman standing there holding a knife, he looked at the female soldier who was killed on the ground and asked, "Jiman, you killed that woman." ? Jiman didn't say anything, turned his head to the side deliberately, and said: "Captain, these prisoners are useless, kill them!" Hengshan smiled and said, "Oh, it's hard work, let's do it according to your ideas!" Suddenly, the captain of the tank squadron, Captain Matsumura, shouted from the side: "Leader, leave this matter to me!" ’ When he saw Hengshan’s tacit gaze, he quickly jumped onto the nearest tank, which looked like a command vehicle. He exposed his upper body from the top of the tank and shouted loudly: ‘Hey, I’m going to crush these people to death. Captives, follow! ’ The sound from the tracks became louder and louder, and the five tanks drove down the rock like tigers, ‘Ah...’ Seeing this, the exhausted anti-Japanese fighters suddenly became agitated, protecting each other, rolling left and right, and Seek to avoid tanks.But they were all wounded soldiers who couldn't move freely, and it was difficult to evade successfully. The tank ran over them, one, two, three... the tank crushed their heads and bodies one after another.The pieces of meat caught in the tracks splattered everywhere.At this moment, a young wounded soldier who looked like a child suddenly stood up from the pile of wounded soldiers. His left wrist was hung obliquely by a towel. He glared at Matsumura on the tank vehicle, raised his right hand and waved his arms and shouted:' Down with the Japanese devils! 'Run towards the tank, 'mi', the tank devoured the young man, and the splash of blood stained the surrounding stones.At this time, the remaining wounded soldiers also stood up, raised their fists high, and shouted in unison: "Down with the Japanese devils!" 'Run to the tank.The shout was louder than the treads, resounding through the valley..." Mu Qing was captured by patrolling Japanese soldiers in an open space near the city.It was very dark, and she couldn't see the two Japanese soldiers pointing their guns at her clearly. She only saw four clusters of green light flickering in the darkness, which was like a knife piercing into her cold body.At this moment, there are only two words left in all the text storage in her mind: it's over, it's over. Bu Naitang told her about her husband Su Yuan's participation in the Japanese military doctor's autopsy in Zeshan this afternoon.Bu Naitang rushed back to the city from Zeshan ahead of schedule due to an official business, and he was impatient to report Su Yuan's "bad deeds" to Mou Qing, since he had no good motives.Mou Qing cried. "He's crazy, he's crazy." This was the only thing she said to Bu Naitang, and also the only explanation for her husband's hateful behavior.From that moment on, the idea of ​​running away alone came into her mind.Before, she counted on her husband to take her away.Now she has no hope for her "crazy" husband. Since he has done such unreasonable things, her relationship with him is doomed to end.She can only rely on herself, but when things come to an end, she feels at a loss and at a loss. She doesn't know how to escape. A woman's ability to do such a dangerous thing is beyond her ambition.But her determination was fixed and unshakable. She thought that even if she died, she would climb outside this hell on earth to die. But she failed to climb out of hell and did not die. On a dark and stormy night, she fell into the hands of robbers. The strange thing is that the two Japanese soldiers didn't "do business" to send her to a job, but took her to a forest not far away.Just when she was surprised, she heard two Japanese soldiers chatting in a low voice, as if arguing about something, she understood, the meaning of the words was "I will do it first, I will do it first".She immediately understood what the two mysterious Japanese soldiers were going to do, and immediately called out.Two Japanese soldiers quickly covered her mouth. It should also be that things have changed. This call was heard by two puppet soldiers patrolling not far away. They ran to follow the sound, and everything in front of them was clear.This is a good "play" that Japanese soldiers have been performing constantly. Although they can't see it, they dare not make a sound.One of the puppet soldiers rushed away quickly, and he went to rescue Bu Naitang.He felt that among the Chinese people in the city, only the divination interpreter could save the woman. Bu Naitang was out of breath when he came with the puppet army.The two Japanese soldiers had brought Mou Qing into the woods, and they were about to rape her.Bu Naitang came out of nowhere with a burst of courage. He pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed at the two Japanese soldiers on the ground, angrily shouting in Japanese: "You guys are so brave, do you know who this woman is?" Bing knew Bu Naitang, and Bu Naitang's nonsensical roar shocked them all of a sudden.The two stood up from the ground, and their panting could be heard in the darkness.But Bu Naitang didn't want to give them a chance to breathe, and further threatened: "If Commander Kitano finds out about this, you will be in trouble. Do you want me to report this to Commander Kitano? Yes!" A Japanese soldier hurriedly said: "Bu translator, we don't know the details, we really don't know who she is, we thought she was going to run away..." Bu Naitang said: "Her husband is a good friend of Commander Kitano. Now he is fighting against the anti-Japanese troops in Zeshan with Commander Kitano. How could she escape? According to you, I went out for a walk in the dark to get some fresh air.逃跑？” 日本兵说：“卜翻译官是北野司令的红人，怎会逃跑呢？我们真的不了解情况，请卜翻译官多加关照不要报告北野司令，再说我们什么也没干得成……”说着不由转头看看那个在地上抽泣的女子。 卜乃堂觉得事情已经解决，不宜再多与日本兵纠缠，省得节外生枝，便将枪收起，说：“行了，你们继续执勤吧，这事，我不向北野司令说就是了。” 日本兵和伪军就分头各走各的人了。 卜乃堂送牟青回家的路上谁都不说话。月亮从东面升起来了，照得脚下的道路像泼了一层水。天并没黑很久，从一幢幢民房的窗户上还透出昏暗的灯光，院里还不时传来牲口和狗的叫声，这是个不闻人语只闻畜声的怪异世界。 “我……还要逃跑的！”牟青似自语又似对卜乃堂说。 卜乃堂无语。 “我……一定要逃出去！”牟青又说。 “牟青，你听我说，你逃不出去的，你真的逃不出去。”卜乃堂说。 “我要逃！” “你一定要逃，怕也只有一种出路。” “什么出路？” “我来做。”卜乃堂说。 牟青没说出话来。 日本人的秋季清乡历时半个月，然后又龟缩到各自的据点中，他们大吹大擂取得“辉煌战果”，事实上只是按计划走了一个过场。抗日队伍采取十分灵活的战术，如同泽山之战，先利用地形优势歼灭敌人的有生兵员，然后相机撤退。在开阔的半岛腹地与敌人周旋，走走打打，打打走走，牵着敌人的鼻子。这样打下来，尽管从表面上看日本人气势汹汹，占领了许多地方，但在军事上并无多少意义。相反他们兵员损失严重，北野的部队在半月之内几乎死伤过半，仅由此看，取得“辉煌战果”的不过是日本人在吹牛皮罢了。 回到城里，苏原发现妻子牟青整个像变了一个人，脸色憔悴，眼圈发黑，头发蓬乱没有一丝光泽。她不理苏原，只是哭，什么都不说。苏原知道妻子急于脱离敌营心灵上倍受熬煎。他还没来得及对妻子进行抚慰，高田军医差一名卫生兵将他叫去。高田神色紧张，告诉苏原日本人很快便要处决老马，大约就在这一两天，因此必须立即制定对老马的抢救计划。苏原听了这消息并不感到吃惊，可他的心一阵阵绞痛。他崇敬老马，他们虽只见过一次，可他心目中的老马犹如兄长犹如上级犹如英雄。他愿意倾尽全力保护他的生命。但他担心计划不能成功。他由老马想到在泽山脚下被日本人活活解剖的那个不幸的年轻人，他一直没有醒来，太阳落山的时候他的心脏也陨落了，停止了跳动。他和高田一致归咎于麻醉太深的缘故。那伙杀人军医只图早早把人麻醉倒，无限制地加大药剂量、因失血过多而变得虚弱不堪的年轻人最终无力从麻醉中挣脱出自己的生命……总之，他们没能将他救活，他们能做的仅是将他安葬入土，他再也不能去自家田里掰回苞米穗子啦……经历了这一切，苏原感觉到自己一下子变得苍老。即使自己现在死去，那也算过足一辈子啦。 无论对于敌工老马还是军医苏原、高四，一九四四年古历九月二十三日都是一个难忘的日子。这是一个生与死搏战的涅槃日。 早晨，老马被一列行刑的日本兵带到城外的一座小丘下。古历九月底已是深秋。秋是一年中最为晴朗的季节。蔚蓝天幕的洁净背景将一片云丝一只飞鸟都映衬得清晰明丽。如果没有战争，秋还是最为宁静的。太阳出山后你会听见草叶上的露珠被蒸发时的咝咝声；你会听见小鱼在浅浅河水中相互追逐的扑楞声；你会听到从茂密的庄稼地里冒出男人粗犷的歌调和女人幽幽的笑声。然而往日的宁静已不再有，无论是白天还是夜晚，人们听到的是从四面八方传来的淹没一切的枪炮声。 老马被缚在丘前的一棵树上，面向前方。 又是日本人行刑的模式。说起来，这些杀人者的思维和行为俱怪异透顶，他们可以随时随地不分青红皂白地杀人，甚至以杀人取乐，不受任何制约；而有时候却做出一副“公事公办”依法行事的模样，有板有眼儿地将人绑赴刑场处决。喜怒无常，叫人捉摸不定。 高田和苏原比行刑队伍稍迟些来到现场。 在这之前，高田曾向北野请求，希望能将活着的敌工交给他们军医大队做活人解剖教学，如同山本的军医们所做的那样。可北野不知出于哪种考虑没有应允，只让他像以往那样对行刑后的尸体进行解剖。这使高四十分失望。倘若北野能够应允的话，那么他和苏原就有十分把握保证老马的性命，如果再老天有助，使他们能得到一具被击毙的日本兵尸体，他们就可以用来“移花接木”，让老马太太平平不伤其一根汗毛。然而好事难成。他们唯有按预定方案对老马实施抢救。 他们有信心。为此已做了详尽周密的研究和准备。他们都是优秀的外科大夫，对人体结构了如指掌。从理论上他们认定“生命通道”计划是站得住脚的。这无疑义。在人的胸腔，尽管器官密布血管交错，但确实存在着一个可供弹丸穿越的安全区域。这个安全区的直径大约为三厘米左右（也因人的身躯长短而异），而弹丸穿体而过的洞孔也大致如此（同样也因武器的口径与人射的距离而异）。当然，如果从实践的角度来看，“安全区”的概念只能是相对的。由于诸种因素的存在，“安全区”实际上又非常脆弱。例如再精确的射击也会发生些微偏差，使弹丸穿越的途径不能与那条安全通道重合。如此的后果是破坏胸膛内的某一与通道毗邻的器官，如肺、胃、肠等。为克服这种实践上难以避免的偏异，唯有采用一种舍车保帅的方法，使伤害的是某一“顽健”的伤后不会立刻致人于死的器官，那就是肺。于是便得到了一条经过校正的安全通道。这种弹丸的飞行路线便可以确定下来：从后背射入穿过肺的边侧紧贴心包外缘穿越胸壁出体。由于没有大动静脉被切断，不会造成大出血。如果事实上的情况与设想的情况能吻合一致，再如果之后的抢救不出现意外事端，那么抢救计划便成功在望了。经他们将整个实施过程加以条理，几个关键的步骤便呈于眼前了，这就是精确地标绘出入射点；选择枪法高超的杀手；安全而隐蔽的救治场所……另外，苏原还提出一个至关重要的问题：受刑人于受刑那一瞬间的呼吸应控制在吸气状态，吸气时心脏的位置会随之向上提升，这便为弹丸躲过心脏增加了难得的一余地”。高田对苏原的见解是欣喜若狂的，决定采纳。然而这却带来另一个难点：怎样得到受刑人的配合？比如老马，由于严密的看守使他们无法接近。看来唯一可以利用的是行刑前为他标绘弹着点的时机，然而那又是怎样地仓促啊！ 北野没有到现场，负责指挥的是一个叫内海实的圆脸少尉。此刻，他的由十几名兵士组成的行刑队已布置停当。担当今日枪手的日本兵持枪站在老马身后七、八步远处。他面目呆板，没有一丝表情，阳光在他的贴面颊很近的刺刀尖上闪亮。他的身材之短与老马身材之长恰成对照，给人一种他无力将这位抗日英雄杀死的印象。 行刑前的气氛是那么恐怖、压抑，高田和苏原心里都十分紧张难耐。他们对视一眼又一齐转头向前望去。 长满荒草的小丘如同一座放大了的坟墓。 被绑在树上的老马一动不动，像睡着了。 奇怪，这一刻，这绝不该分神的一刻，苏原却忆起曾做过的一个梦，一个真真实实地梦。那是在“清乡”的过程中，那晚他与高田彻夜讨论他们的抢救计划，天快亮时才迷糊过去，他做了梦。奇怪的是在一开始他便清醒地知道是梦境，他进入一个巨大怪异的空间，这是一个没有天地界限的混沌空间，光线昏暗，什么也无法辨别后来他听见一水声，好象下雨了。之后又出现了闪电和雷声。凭借一次次闪电的照耀，他眼前豁然一亮，看清自己是置身于一个宽阔无比的胸腔之中，在他的四周，巨如山岗的心、胃、肺等脏器依照相互方位关系矗立，那么壮观，那么逼真。他突然一阵狂喜，心想，这是一个多么难得的机会啊，我可以仔仔细细地查看清楚，如同勘测人员勘查地形那样，将那条神秘的“生命通道”探索明白啊。然而后来闪电便不再出现，眼前又变成昏黑一团，他这时突然想到自己的妻子，高呼：牟青，快点灯啊……这时他睁开眼，一眼前很亮，不是灯，是日光向屋里的照射，高田正古里古怪地朝他笑着。这个梦他没有向高田说也没有和妻子牟青说。真的不可思议，在这样的时刻竟能想到自己做过的一个梦，苏原觉得自己的精神已几近破裂的边缘…… 尽管内海实少尉担任现场指挥，但鉴于现场中数高田军医的军衔最高，少尉不敢忽视。他跑步到高田跟前敬礼报告，问是否可以进行。在此之前，高田已假北野之名对他交待了有关事项，为保险起见，他又趁机向少尉做了关照：为确保刑后的“解剖”必须给苏原军医足够的时间在人犯身上标出弹着点，另外还要再次指令射手不得出现丝毫偏差……内海实连连点头“哈依”，高田说完途看了苏原一眼。 苏原就一步一步向小丘走去。走得很慢，步履也有些蹒跚，像突然间变成一位年迈的老人。他已心力交瘁，恐慌异常。在这之前，高田对他千叮万嘱，要他切记镇静。不能于紧要关头出现差错。如果不是为了便于与老马的沟通，谋得他的配合。高田就会自己去做这件事情。但这次是不行的，此事非苏原莫属。只是高田和苏原都不曾想到（或许没顾得去想），苏原在刑场上的出现将给他带来洗刷不清的罪责…… 苏原踉踉跄跄从日本枪手身边绕过，在老马身后站住。他想唤一声老马，但没有。按“计划”这是不允许的。他不能分心。他须集中精力做好两件事情：在老马身上精确地标出“通道”入口，再就是将一切简洁地告诉老马，让他在那个关键时刻进行配合。 这是一个奇异的时刻，已经发生的与即将发生的都像神话一般。生命的破坏与修复如此惊心动魄地捏合在一起，令人难以置信。整个现场哑然无声，所有人的眼光都盯着小丘前面的两个人：医生苏原与抗日敌工老马。那情景不啻是牧师在为一个临刑人做祈祷。 苏原将一只手轻轻放在老马背上，这瞬间他感到自己的心房不由自主地颤栗起来，是颤栗，不是跳动。同时两眼变得模糊。他想哭，想抱着老马的身体大哭出声。但他控制住自己，严峻的使命迫使他令自己镇定。他咬紧牙关，如同咬住了自己的心。他知道两件事情必须同时来做，尽管会互相干扰，但又只能如此，他不能在这里磨蹭，那会引起他们的疑心。他摒住呼吸，用手掌在老马左侧后背处摸摸按按，他在寻找老马的心音。心脏如同测绘中的基准，找到基准才能进行以后的测定。啊，他找到了，心脏，老马的心脏，在他的中指和食指的指尖下面。他顿时感到手指已变成一座桥梁将自己与老马的心身接通。又一阵激动向他袭来，他轻轻唤了一声：“老马。”他没听见应声，但老马身体的骤然一颤却通向他的手指传递过来。这就像接到老马回应的信号，令他激动不已。他开始对老马说话：“老马，我是苏原医生……”老马仍未应。苏原便不再说话，将手指由那个跳动的“基准”向下侧方移动，他在寻找那个生死攸关的“通道”入口。这是一个神秘莫测的位置，虽有定规，又因人而异。找到它既需要经验，又要仰仗直觉。他的手指一路下来，越过一根根隆起的肋骨，最后停在一个位置。他按住不动，然后，开始用目光宏观地注视着老马整个宽阔的后背，如同注视着一张完整的胸透X光图片。他看着，看着，之后骤然将眼光收缩，收缩成一束径如杏核的光圈，这光圈投在老马的后背某处，某位置恰与他手指按着的位置重合。what!found it!找到了那神秘的“通道”入口处。他轻吁了口气。但他不敢怠慢，赶紧从口袋掏出一块石膏在上面描划，划出一朵白花。这时他知道自己可以继续和老马说话了。他猜不透刚才老马为什么不应声。无论怎样他必须将事情对老马说清楚。 “老马，我是苏医生，你听见了吗？” "..." “老马，我有话对你说，你听着……” “你个汉奸！”老马终于开口。 “我不是汉奸，我…” “你不是汉奸来这儿干吗？” “我来救你。” "fart!" “老马，我真是来救你……” “救我，那就赶紧解绳子。” “那不行。可我有别的办法救你，只要你照我说的做。” “我不要听。” “老马，你听清，开枪前你听我咳嗽，听见了就吸气，使劲儿吸！” “老马，你听了吗？你吸气，使劲将心提起来，你听清楚了吗？照我说的做。” "..." “老马，答应我！事关生死，务必照我说的去做！” “老马，算我求你！求你啦！！” 那声枪响传到他耳边声音之微只好像放羊人不经意地甩一下羊鞭儿。在这炮火隆隆枪声四起的战地实在算不了什么。然而这轻柔之音却犹如从林木草丛间飘来的一缕香气令他陶醉而舒展。他陡然觉得浑身轻松如释不受一点约束。眼前的天地也一下拓展得开阔。他似乎有点眼生，这天地间万物万象俱变得陌生，古里古怪，如同梦境。这时他觉得十分口渴，唇干舌燥，有一种急于啜饮的感觉。为寻找水地，他开始朝前走去，踏着一片如茵的草地。犹如天赐，他抬眼望见一道河堤横在草地与天际之间，他快步奔去，身轻如燕，不知什么时候他已脱掉了鞋子，光脚板踏着草地有一种舒心的滑腻。他觉得已不是在行走，也不是在奔跑，而是脚板在草梢上滑行，就像小时候在家乡的池塘里滑冰那样。他心里顿时感到凄苍，油然生出对家乡的眷恋之情，这种感情对他来说已十分陌生，他怀念自己的亲人，却又记不起自己究竟有哪些具体的亲人，那一切摇远得如同隔世。这时他已穿越过宽阔的草地，登上河堤，然而他的眼直了，大失所望，河里没有水，只有一道干涸的河床，一线白亮的河沙在河堤下无声的流动。他诧异不解，他从未见过像水样奔流的河沙。这河沙将流向哪里？莫非在那遥远之地有一处沙海？望着这条无水的河流他益发觉得干渴难忍，胸腔里像有火在烧灼。他显得有些急躁，这急躁又加剧了他的干渴。他觉得很快将焦渴而死，不能坐以待毙。情势已无选择，只有继续寻找水地。他走下河堤，越过沙流，再登上河堤，但这时展显于面前的已不是先前的景像。草地上平添了一些树木，这些树木形态怪异，高者入云，矮者伏地，且颜色倒置，树叶是红的花朵又是绿的，他被弄糊涂了，愣了一会儿神。千奇百怪，这时他竟记起一个具体的亲人，那是他的爷爷，他记忆中的爷爷手里永远牵着一头驴，一头比狗大不了多少的母驴，爷爷似乎有牵驴的癖好，爷爷对他习惯的亲呢就是将他抱在驴背上，然后牵着缰绳在村外小路上遛达。爷爷活到八十岁无疾而终。临去的那些时日爷爷总对人絮叨说他看见一个甚是古怪的地场，所有的树木都长红叶开绿花，可没人相信他的话，只当他在说吃语。而现在……他相信爷爷确实到过那里。此刻自己便身临其境。他不由想到，如果以后见到其他亲人，他一定要为爷爷澄清事实，洗刷委曲，……他在这片奇异的地界大步穿越，周围的景像愈来愈令人眼花缭乱，这简直是一座绚丽的花国，万紫千红，鸟语花香。他感到浑身的惬意。他很想停下脚在这里细细观赏，可他的脚已不能够停下，好像这双腿不是自己的，是别人将它当作“奸细”安在自己身上，就像又骑上爷爷牵着的那头驴……他终于走出了这片奇异地，一切又如同先前，映入眼中的是野草如茵的绿地和白杨如走的河堤。望见河堤干渴又更猛烈地向他袭来，他已经别无他念，只渴望眼前能立刻出现一条水源。不是啜饮，而是将整个身子投入水中……这欲念使他健步如飞，他已看见河堤渐渐逼近，堤上树木已看得清晰，他甚至听到堤内潺潺的水声，这叫他兴奋喜悦，不由忘情大呼：水啊—— 敌工老马越过死地睁开双眼已是受刑后的第三天。苏醒后对外界的反应完全像一个刚出娘胎的婴孩。意识如火焚之后的原野，思维也如同停止不动的钟摆。 这确是一种再生。 “老马，你回来了？”一个声音。但他充耳不闻。 “老马，喝水吗？” water?这一瞬，他的意识方犹同天籁从遥远而混沌的远方飘逸过来，轻柔若游丝，将他的过去与现在连接。这是地狱两端的连接。他感知到了自身：疼痛、干渴、不适，而这种感知是生命的另样搏动。 他喝了水。是小勺喂进嘴里。水迅速地滋润进他的身体和意识里。 “我怎么啦？这是哪儿？”他的眼在说。 “老马，你看，是我呀？” “苏……医生……”他的嘴动了动。 这时他的意识仍未完全清醒，以前的许多事都记不起来了。他努力地思索，以求弄清。却又十分艰难，他只想了一会儿便感到一阵发自骨缝里的疲倦和困顿，他合眼沉沉睡去…… 当老马再次醒来，站在他面前的已经是苏原和高田两个人。屋子里的光线明亮。高田戴一副大口罩，捂得只露出两只眼。他须隐蔽自己的真实身份。而苏原就没有这个必要了。无论是灵与肉，他早已在老马面前“赤身露体”过。两人看着慢慢睁开两眼的老马。按捺不住内心的喜悦，这是胜利之后的由衷喜悦啊！他们将老马从地狱的大门口接回到人世间。这现实是多么的奇异，多么不可思议。就像一个梦。但这又不是梦，是不容置疑的现实。如同明晃晃的阳光不容置疑地照射在窗纸上那样。老马的复生意味着这个计划已从实验阶段步入实施阶段。这是一次意义深刻的超越。苏原发现高田露在口罩上方那双不大的眼里闪着晶莹的泪光。他自己心里同样汹涌地难以抑制的冲动 抢救老马的过程现在苏原和高田回想起来便有些后怕。也许当时的心情太紧张，思维高度集中，这件事过之后记忆竟变得模糊起来，只想得起几个重要关节：行刑后的老马心脏还在微弱跳动；检查证实苏原的“标位”与射手的瞄准俱没有太大误差，弹丸偏肺部一点沿生命通道运行过去；苏原给老马输了血；老马从手术室转移到一间事先准备好的瓦房；高田向司令部报告已将解剖后老马的“尸体”处理掉……除此之外，其他的细节枝末都淹没在一片混沌沌之中了…… “老马，你……睡醒了？”苏原俯身向炕上的老马说。声音很轻很柔，好像害怕再将老马的生命吓回去那样。 老马没吱声，只是久久盯着站在苏原身旁戴大口罩的陌生人。 “他是唐医生。”苏原按高田的要求这么介绍。苏原已听高四讲述过那位唐医生的事情，就领会到他的心迹了。 “伤口痛得厉害吗？”高田问。 “这是在哪儿？”这个问题仍严重地困扰着他。他对过去和现在的一切仍然难以把定。 “你还在城里，这里一间民房很安全。”苏原说。 老马将眼光转向阳光明亮的窗子上。窗纸上贴有一幅剪纸画，是一个光屁股男孩笑哈哈地抱住一个大鲤鱼。 老马盯着窗子的眼光是迷离的。后来他终于转过来再次盯着戴大口罩的“唐医生”。 “你已经度过危险期，伤口也没化脓，一切顺利啊。”高田说，他口罩的上沿已经被泪水打湿。 “我死了吗？”老马自语，“我是在阴间里吗？”“你活着，老马。”苏原说。 “我看见一个怪地场……一个很怪很怪的地场……” 苏原和高田对望一下。 “那地场河里流白沙……树上长红叶开绿花……蚂蚱和蝎子交配……” “老马，你胜利啦，我们也胜利啦。”高田说，声音很硬很沙。 “日本人没打死我吗？”老马突然问。这意味着他的意识开始接近现实。 “日本人打不死你，你命大啊老马。”苏原说。 “老马，你很快就会恢复的。”高田说。
