Chapter 334: The Train Is Stuck

The car drove quietly into the Cixi Hospital.

After looking around to make sure there was no danger, Zhang Yongcai got out of the car.

Alas, I'm really a coward now. Even when visiting the wounded at the hospital, you have to be careful.

I'm afraid of being ambushed by the devils.

Devils, devils, you really make me unhappy.

There is no red dot on the map.

It means that Xia Lan is not here.

She's probably run away again. She might have gone to another hospital. Or she might have retreated back to the Japanese-occupied area of Hongkou.

These Japanese spies from the Special High Police Department have been victimised by him, so they might have all run away.

If they don't run away, they'll all be caught like sheep in the jaws of a tiger.

'Captain!'

'Captain!'

At Cixi Hospital, there are more than ten guards from the Fuxing Society.

They are worried that the Japanese invaders will do something to the wounded.

In fact, this kind of guarding was a serious waste of manpower for the Restoration Society.

They were all field workers! They were all mobile units. As a result, they were redeployed to guard their comrades at the hospital.

It would be nice if there were a dedicated military hospital.

A dedicated guard force could be responsible for the safety of the hospital.

However, there wasn't one.

In the huge Songhu area, there was no dedicated military hospital, which was really troublesome.

Fortunately, it's fine now. But in the future, if there's a major battle and so many people are injured, how will they be treated? These civilian hospitals simply don't have enough surgeons. They simply can't meet the demand.

The Battle of Shanghai lasted three months. The losses of the National Army were huge. Two to three hundred thousand people were killed in action. There were even more wounded. Almost all of the elite troops were disabled. The consequences were imaginable.

With so many wounded, there was simply no way to deal with them effectively. Many of the wounded ended up dying.

However, it seems that no one ever raised this issue.

Or if they did, they didn't have the means to deal with it. No money. No people. How do you set up a military hospital?

The wounded are all on the first floor.

Enter the inpatient area. Wu Liuqi is already moving around the corridor.

This guy, like Cao Mengqi, is just like a cockroach that can't be killed. He was unconscious after being bombed yesterday, but now he's actually able to walk around?

It's just that he looks a little pale. A little weak. It will take time to recover.

'Captain!'

'How do you feel?'

'Apart from some chest pain, I'm fine.'

'Don't be careless.'

'I'll listen to the doctor.'

'That's good!'

Zhang Yong likes such subordinates.

They don't argue with him. When they are injured, they come to the hospital for treatment.

And they listen to the doctor at the hospital. They don't rush to be discharged. They even sneak out of the hospital to wait.

He doesn't need people like that.

First, they are admitted to the hospital. They recover from their injuries. Then they continue to fight.

Otherwise, being injured will greatly affect their combat effectiveness. They might end up dying in the end.

Battles against the Japanese invaders were often over in the blink of an eye, with life and death decided in a split second.

If you were even slightly slow to react, you would be the one to die.

'Takeshi Kishida ran away?'

'Yes.'

'That son of a bitch got off easy.'

'There will be plenty of opportunities to catch him in the future! Get well. There are plenty of Japanese spies.'

'Yes!'

Wu Liuji was full of expectations.

Zhang Yong knew that he was not good at consoling people. So, without saying much, he went around checking on the wounded one by one.

The injuries of the others were all more serious than Wu Liuqi's.

Wu Liuqi was the luckiest. He didn't have any shrapnel wounds. He just passed out from the shock.

The others all had wounds. They had all been hit by grenade shrapnel. Fortunately, they didn't die.

The one who was most seriously injured was still very weak. He needed to be watched over by a nurse at all times. It was probably equivalent to the ICU in the modern world, and it was estimated that after being discharged from the hospital, he would not be able to do field work.

This was the price of fighting off the invaders. There would definitely be sacrifices. There would definitely be injuries.

Fighting behind enemy lines would lead to even more serious losses.

What's more, if they were wounded, they couldn't go to the hospital for treatment.

Because the hospitals were all controlled by the Japanese invaders.

What should they do?

Zhang Yong frowned.

This was also a very serious problem.

They must have their own secret medical system.

Otherwise, being wounded was just a matter of waiting to die.

The problem was that it wasn't that easy to set up a hidden medical system.

They needed doctors, medicine and equipment.

All of these things would be strictly controlled by the Japanese invaders. It would be difficult to avoid surveillance.

What a nuisance...

Unless you use the Japanese to cover yourself.

Use a Japanese spy to do things for you...

I have a vague idea...

Suddenly someone hurriedly came, 'Captain, someone is looking for you.'

'Okay,' Zhang Yong agreed. It turned out that it was the hospital director himself looking for him.

The director's surname was Gong. He invited Zhang Yong to his office and said very seriously, 'Captain Zhang, there is a very troublesome matter...'

'You say. I will find a way to solve it.' Zhang Yong's psychological quality was still okay.

'I suggest that Wu Liuqi be transferred to another hospital.'

'Why?'

'He has internal bleeding. We can't handle it.'

'Wasn't he just moving around in the corridor?'

'Yes. This is very dangerous behaviour. But we can't stop him. Our people have all run away after he yelled at them.'

'Is the situation serious?'

'I told you, internal bleeding, which can endanger life at any time. I suggest transferring him immediately to the Jinling Army General Hospital. They are better at handling blast injuries.'

'I see.'

Zhang Yong nodded.

I never thought it would turn out like this.

Wu Liuji said he had chest pains, so he must have suffered internal injuries.

However, the level of care at the Tzu Chi Hospital is not sufficient to treat internal injuries caused by explosions.

I feel a little heavy-hearted...

I never thought Wu Liuji's injuries would be the most dangerous.

Think back.

At the time, Wu Liuji was almost the closest to the explosion. It couldn't have been that easy.

Even a small grenade, even if it doesn't hit directly with shrapnel, the internal organs of the human body cannot withstand it. Internal bleeding may not seem like a problem, but it is very dangerous.

'Please arrange for two doctors and two nurses to go with me to Jinling.'

'Leave now.'

'I will be responsible for all expenses, including the wages of the doctors and nurses.'

Zhang Yong made a quick decision.

Since the injury was dangerous, there was no time to waste.

He had originally planned to go to Jinling the next morning. But now, he had to leave immediately.

He personally escorted Wu Liuji to Jinling. Then he was admitted to the Army General Hospital.

'This is no problem. But you have to calm the patient down. This patient is very aggressive in front of us. Our nurses are afraid to go near him!'

'I know. I'll handle it. You've worked hard.'

'Get going as soon as possible!'

'Okay!'

Zhang Yong nodded.

Director Gong immediately arranged for a transfer.

Zhang Yong came out to find Wu Liuji and said bluntly, 'You're coming with me to Jinling.'

'What for?' Wu Liuji was a little confused.

'You have internal bleeding. We can't handle it here. We need to confirm it at the Army General Hospital in person.'

'Huh?'

'No nonsense. I'm just going on a mission to Jinling. Come with me. This is an order.'

'Yes!'

Wu Liuji didn't dare to act rashly.

It was probably because someone had complained to Zhang Yong. He was said to have scolded and beaten up the doctor.

Before, when no one else was around, he was the boss. Naturally, he could be aggressive. Now that Zhang Yong was here, he didn't dare to be aggressive. He obediently obeyed.

Zhang Yong didn't know how serious the internal bleeding was, so he didn't dare let him run around.

He directly told Wu Liuqi to lie on the hospital bed.

In this era, there were still ambulances. So he requisitioned one.

The ambulance would take Zhang Yong to the train. Then the hospital bed would go directly on the train. Wu Liuqi just lay on the hospital bed.

Other first aid supplies, oxygen tanks and the like were also prepared.

All that remained was to make other arrangements.

An escort was needed.

Of course Zhang Yong could not go on his own.

If the Japanese knew, just any assassin could take his life. How could he be in a hurry?

Mao Renfeng also gave a special reminder. So, at least bring two small teams.

It so happened that Yang Zhi's team was resting before, and now it was just right to pull it out and go back to Jinling together. Yang Zhi also had the opportunity to go back and see Yang Shanfu.

Wei Yong's team has also been relatively idle. Bring them all along too.

And the more than 80,000 taels of silver we've seized. Pack it all in boxes. Then transport it to the train station.

'How is Wu Liuqi?' asked Kou Xingde.

'It may be a bit dangerous,' Zhang Yong said honestly. 'We have to wait for the examination at the Army General Hospital.'

'Sigh...' Kou Xingde let out a small sigh.

Wu Liuqi and Cao Mengqi are both fierce guys. But they are also the most likely to be casualties.

Last time, it was Cao Mengqi who was hospitalised. This time, it is Wu Liuqi.

I hope good fortune will be on their side!

"Staff Officer Guo!'

'Staff Officer Guo!'

Zhang Yong called out to Guo Qiyun again.

He needed him to coordinate something.

The main thing was the railway station, which was controlled by Xuan Tiewu's soldiers.

Zhang Yong led Wu Liuqi and the goods into the station to say hello to Xuan Tiewu. This was to avoid a conflict.

'I will report to Commander Xuan immediately.'

'Thank you!'

After some communication, they entered the train station without incident.

As for the trip to Nanjing, there was no need for Guo Qiyun to follow. He saw Zhang Yong off to the train and then took his leave.

'Goodbye!'

'Goodbye!'

After some busyness, everyone boarded the train.

Wu Liuji, the two doctors, and the nurse were in the first class compartment. There weren't many people. Zhang Yong had the entire compartment to himself.

The others were in the third and fourth compartments next to the first class compartment.

It was the night train to Jinling, and it would arrive in the early morning. So there weren't many passengers.

Yang Zhi's team was in carriage 3. Wei Yong's team was in carriage 4.

There were also carriage 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. But there weren't many passengers in any of them.

There were no red dots on the map either.

Zhang Yong came out from time to time to check, but there was nothing unusual.

'Clang, clang...'

'Clang, clang...'

The train pulled out smoothly.

Night gradually fell.

Before he knew it, it was already around 10 o'clock at night.

At this time, it was already very close to Nanjing's Xiaguan Station. There were still about two hours left.

Zhang Yong lay on the hard seat, drowsily falling asleep.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. Gradually, he woke up.

Huh? The train isn't moving?

I don't hear the clanging anymore?

"Wei Yong!'

'Here!'

'What's going on?'

'Captain, the train has stopped moving.'

'What did the driver say?'

'He said the railway in front of us has been washed away by the flood.'

'Flood?'

Zhang Yong frowned. He immediately thought of the worst.

Did the Japanese cause the flood? Did the Japanese invaders deliberately cause the collapse?

Damn it.

Damn the Japanese invaders, they actually...

Oh, it's a flood!

I guess the Japanese invaders don't have the ability to cause a flood yet. It's probably a natural disaster.

Trouble. The train is stuck.

If the delay continues, Wu Liuqi will be in danger.

No,

I have to go and check what's going on.

Armed to the teeth, he goes to the driver's cab to find out what's going on.

It's true that the railway has collapsed.

It's raining heavily outside.

It's strange to say, but it's already the Mid-Autumn Festival and there's still such heavy rain. What bad luck.

What should I do?

Just wait.
