Chapter 66 Chen Geng was carried off the battlefield by a woman

Going back to the shocking scene on the battlefield: when retreating, Chen Geng was at the end.He stooped out of the bushes and started running.After running a dozen or so steps, he suddenly dodged to the side, ran another five or six steps, and turned to the right again.At this time, a series of bullets began to crackle and crackle around him, as if someone was clapping their ears.While dodging left and right, he ran in a zigzag shape, sometimes fell to the ground, sometimes rolled, and then jumped up and rushed forward.A machine behind him shot at him rapidly. He had retreated to the open weedy slope, with nothing to hide around.Now he was on his last legs, and could only run in one breath. If he stopped for a moment, the enemy would adjust the range of his machine gun.The bullets struck the stones around him, sparking.He jumped to the side and heard the bullets crackling past his left ear.Before he had time to rejoice, he felt his ankle tripped, his knees softened, and he fell headlong.His left ankle and knee were still tingling.There is a hot feeling.A thick trickle seeped down, wet, into his shoes and onto the ground.He touched his left leg with his hand, and his hand was covered with blood, even the nails were stained red.A fishy smell of fish and lime water.He wanted to stand up, but his left leg was fluttering and he couldn't exert any strength.It's over, the left leg was shot in two places!It was exactly 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

All around him were corpses and bright lights.The besieging enemy army was still screaming and charging.Their hats, muzzles and hideous faces float in the mountains.Thoughts and visions were churning in his head.The chasing enemy is getting closer!He hurriedly took off his uniform so that the enemy would not be found alive when he searched his pockets for foreign money.He gritted his teeth, rolled down the hillside, and fell into a ditch of tall grass.The blood immediately dyed the water in the field ditch light red.The piercing pain rose more and more like a wave, rising from the ankle to the root of the thigh.Like a needle prick.Like a fire.The tendon in the knee was broken, the ankle bone was broken, and I couldn't move.

"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander!" Someone was shaking him and shouting close to his ear. Chen Geng opened his eyes and saw that it was Lu Dongsheng (originally a helper of Chen Geng's family, who joined the revolution under the influence of Chen Geng, and was now his adjutant). "Battalion Commander, I'll help you go!" "No!" Chen Geng pushed him away. "The enemy is coming up! I can't move, you run!" "If you don't go, I won't go either!" "You go! If you don't go, we are both finished!" Lu Dongsheng went to help Chen Geng, but Chen Geng pushed him hard: "Go!"

The enemy has already crossed the hill and is attacking down the hill.The mountains are full of gunshots and screams.Lu Dongsheng hid in a nearby pile of grass. Chen Geng held the smooth handle of the shell gun and raised the muzzle to his chest.Death is tempting.With one click of the trigger, the pain will not continue, and all the troubles of being captured can be avoided.It won't hurt Lu Dongsheng who refused to leave because of him... But I'm only 24 years old, and the revolution is over at 24 years old?They are so cheap! Could it be that 10 years of struggle is for such a bullet!The comrades are still there, the revolution has just begun.Let me try my luck one last time!He threw away the gun, smeared the blood from his legs with his hands and lay down quietly.

The machine gun fell silent.There was an eerie silence.Chen Geng guessed that the chasing enemy was approaching him along the hillside.He clearly heard the enemy swearing and turning over the corpse with a gun, and every groan would attract a shot.The stench of corpses and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke wafted together.A follow-up bullet hit the rock, and sparks flew everywhere.He is ready, as long as the enemy is aware of it, he will pounce on the opponent's neck and die together... The sound of leather boots was getting closer, and the grass was rustling.A small man walked over, raised his leather boots and kicked Chen Geng's waist.Chen Geng remained motionless.The little shooter taunted, laughed and cursed, then went to pull another corpse, and squatted down to look through the pockets of the corpse.

Chen Geng lay quietly, feeling that dizziness was about to hit, like sweat and blood melting into the scorching land, and his mind was disappearing bit by bit. The above is a paragraph of the author's description of Chen Geng's injury when he wrote the book "The Merry General" 8 years ago.At that time, the author hadn't figured out who saved Chen Geng from the battlefield.Now, the author has discovered to her surprise that it turned out that it was a woman who carried him off the battlefield. Her name was Yang Qinglan. Let’s listen to Yang Qinglan’s own narrative: “After joining the uprising army, I was assigned to the 20th Army, and I was in the propaganda team at first. At that time, the work of the propaganda team was also very interesting. In addition to writing slogans and shouting slogans, We also do mass work. When we arrived in a new place, the masses were scared away because they didn’t know us, so we gathered on the street and sang.

Later, when we arrived in Ruijin, the fighting was fierce and the number of wounded increased.I switched to ambulance work again. "At that time, I was young, strong, revolutionary, and not afraid of death. As soon as I went to the battlefield, I heard the gunshots and saw the casualties of my comrades, so I forgot everything and desperately wanted to save my comrades. One time, I didn't even care that my hat was knocked off. I picked it up and put it on and continued to run. I am very strong. A wounded person weighs more than 100 kilograms, and I can run up and down the mountain for several miles when I carry it on my back. Fighting in Huichang At that time, we had a lot of wounded, and everyone was busy carrying them and carrying them on their backs. When it was getting dark, and I was about to retreat down the mountain, I suddenly saw a wounded lying in the grass not far away. I approached and looked. Oh, ah, it turned out to be Comrade Chen Geng, the commander of the Second Battalion. He was wounded in the leg by the enemy and bled all over the place. Seeing him, I picked him up without saying a word, and hurried down the mountain. Soon, it was completely dark, and I carried him on my back and walked a long way to send him to the ambulance. Later, when Chen Geng and I were doing underground work in Shanghai, he smiled and thanked me for saving his life, He also praised how strong I am as a girl. When we met after liberation, Chen Geng did not forget this past event. There has always been a deep friendship between us."

Yang Qinglan is one of the 30 female soldiers. There are not many female soldiers who are particularly strong like her. She was assigned to the front line to rescue the wounded; most of the other female soldiers were assigned to rescue the wounded in temporary hospitals. The war has proved that women are more tolerant than male soldiers.After these days of arduous and long-distance marching, none of them were exhausted or sacrificed, but each of them was quite strong.For example, Hu Yuxiu, who was originally sick, has not fallen down, and has become the main force in rescuing the wounded.The place where they were rescued was a broken ancestral hall.

There are many wounded rescued from the front line, the conditions are poor, and there are many difficulties. The hospital bed alone is a headache.There was no other way but to mobilize the masses in the village, remove the door panels and set up temporary bunks. Because of the fierce fighting and the extremely hot weather, the wounded were seriously injured.Some were shot in the head, some were seriously injured in the waist, and some had broken arms and broken legs.This is the first time for a female soldier. Although they all secretly made up their minds to keep these warriors who were born and died alive, the conditions were too poor, the equipment was simple, the medicines were scarce, and there was also a shortage of real doctors.Most of the female soldiers learned some simple medical knowledge along the way, and they were helpless in the face of these seriously wounded.Some wounded had to be operated on in time to remove the bullets or shrapnel in order to get better, but in fact it was impossible, so they had to change their dressings every day to reduce the degree of wound decay.Coupled with the hot weather and the prevalence of epidemics, many wounded suffered from dysentery in addition to war injuries. The pain of the wounded increased, and the nursing work became even more intense, and they worked day and night.

In the most stressful days, they were at an age where they could eat and sleep, but now they sleep very little.Some nights, because the wounded had dysentery, they climbed up and down, fearing that they would fall again, the female soldiers stood by and helped them up and down. In this way, the normal sleep became only the occasional beating in front of the hospital bed. Dozed off. During the day, apart from nursing care, they tried every means to entertain the wounded and told them some stories.Peng Yuanhua told the story well. As soon as she told the story of Guan Gong in the Three Kingdoms by scraping the bone to heal the poison, all the wounded cheered up: "Comrade, Guan Gong is really a great hero. Our little injury is nothing!"

After living in Ruijin City for a week, one evening, Peng Yuanhua hurried back from the outside. He called the female soldiers to the yard with a nervous expression, and said to them: "We are leaving tomorrow. The seriously injured comrades will take a boat along the river. We set off from Tingzhou, Fujian, and some comrades who were slightly injured were carried on stretchers, and some walked with us." After she finished speaking, everyone was busy making preparations for departure.After the victory in Huichang, there were three plans for military operations: first, take advantage of the momentum to attack the remnants of Qian Dajun in Junmenling, and occupy the area around Meixian via Xunwu; second, use the Ruijin and Changting areas as bases , Divide up and take the Dongjiang area in the Chaoshan area; third, go straight to Chaoshan via Changting, Shanghang, and Dapu. Due to the battle of Huichang, more than 400 wounded people had to be carried away on stretchers.The rebels were unwilling to abandon their brethren there.According to the report of the troops operating in Changting, the situation in Fujian and Jiangxi is very different.Changting reported that it is not a problem to recruit civil servants, and that the wounded and sick can be loaded on wooden boats along the Han River and transferred to Chaoshan, and more than a thousand women with big feet have been recruited to serve as stretcher transport.When these women's convoys really came to Ruijin, the rebel army was very excited.Therefore, the former committee decided to adopt the third military action plan, all crossing the Jiangxi-Fujian border and marching towards the Changting area. One day in mid-September, just after dawn, the female soldiers hurriedly got up and sent the seriously wounded to the ship.Immediately, they accompanied some lightly wounded people and continued to walk along the river bank to Tingzhou.After two days of marching, they entered Tingzhou City. Director Fu Lianjun of the local Bo'ai Hospital (i.e. Gospel Hospital) accepted the party's entrustment to him and took all the wounded in the hospital for care and treatment.Many people saved their lives for it.
