Chapter 3 Heaven and Earth (Part 12) "Uncle Scar, I am really, really grateful to you." Zhang Songling stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support the shaky old Scar, and with the poor medical conditions of the guerrillas , being able to snatch Zhao Tianlong's life back from the Lord of Hell is definitely a miracle. As for the follow-up diagnosis, treatment and recovery matters, as long as you think about it, there will always be a way. If it doesn't work, it's really like what Lao Scar said just now. In that case, it is not impossible to kidnap a Japanese doctor and bring him back to Shenyang or Peiping. After a day and night of continuous surgery, Lao Scar was indeed exhausted. He leaned on Zhang Songling's arm to take a few breaths, and then added in a low voice: "It's not because of me, but because of his own strength. To be honest, I wouldn't have been able to save anyone else. Alas, let's not talk about this anymore. Go in and see him. Remember to try not to talk to him, let alone make him lose his temper. " "Well. , I remember it, Uncle Scar." Zhang Songling agreed, raised his leg and walked inside. One foot had already stepped on the threshold, but he hesitated and turned around, shouting in a low voice: "Siqin, sister-in-law, you go first. Go in, what Brother Long wants to see most right now is you. " "Then, I'll go in." Siqin raised his eyes and asked tentatively. From great joy to great sorrow and then to great joy again, her spirit has become extremely fragile. No matter what she hears, she cannot believe it is true and wants to verify it again to avoid being 'cheated' again. "Hurry in." Zhang Songling sighed pitifully, turned aside, let Siqin into the ward, and closed the door from the outside. No one continued to try to squeeze in, nor did they raise any objections. Although everyone hoped to see the deputy captain turn the corner, the large ward was too small. At this moment, there was no room for a third person. Two days later, Zhou Heitan led Medical Officer Li from the Independent Battalion up the mountain, and also used his war horse to carry five or six boxes of special Western medicines that were rare on the market. However, to everyone's disappointment, the experienced professional surgeon also He was helpless with the shrapnel in Zhao Tianlong's body. He checked him several times while he was weak and sleeping. Doctor Li finally came to the conclusion: "Those pieces of shrapnel may be stuck in the spine. It's better not to perform surgery, at least." Mr. Long can still survive. If he undergoes forced surgery, if he encounters major blood vessels and spinal nerves, he will probably become a cripple even if he does not die. " "Then, is there no other way?" Zhang Songling was very anxious after hearing this, and grabbed Dr. Li's sleeve and asked. "There's no way." Doctor Li shook his head helplessly, with an apologetic look on his face, "Not only here, but in the entire Northern Route Army, I'm afraid there's no one who can operate on him. First of all, no one has done this kind of surgery. Secondly, to perform this kind of surgery, you must use a professional X-ray machine. Even in the Japanese-occupied areas, that thing can only be seen in a few large hospitals. Ordinary hospitals, I've never heard of it at all" "That, then" Zhang Songling frowned and was worried. Just a few minutes ago, he was discussing with Zhou Heitan how to get through without anyone noticing. A Japanese military doctor was kidnapped in Shenyang City, but now, the road is completely blocked. Even if they could kidnap the military doctor, they could not steal an X-ray machine completely from the hospital. When he was at a loss what to do, Fang Guoqiang, who had been silent before, suddenly patted his own head and shouted in a low voice: "Is it an X-ray machine? I know where to find it. There is one in the Bethune International Peace Hospital. It is the legacy left by Dr. Bethune to the hospital. I read the relevant content in the report introducing the advanced deeds of martyr Bethune the year before last. "(Note 1) "Bethune International Peace Hospital, you are talking about the one located in Tang County, Hebei. "As if seeing the first glimmer of light in the boundless darkness, Zhang Songling quickly turned around and grabbed Fang Guoqiang's shoulders. "Well, that's the hospital. It was originally called Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Rear Area Hospital. It was changed to its current name early last year in memory of Dr. Bethune." Fang Guoqiang nodded vigorously, "The current president is from India, and his level is very high. Many He brought all the wounded back from the brink of death, and his name was specifically mentioned in the award report for the Hundred Regiment Battle. "(Note 2) After all, he is a full-time political worker and is familiar with all kinds of documents. Chest, without thinking carefully, he could state the relevant parts like a treasure. After hearing this, Zhang Songling was immediately refreshed. He grabbed Fang Guoqiang's shoulders and said eagerly: "Hurry up and send a telegram to Political Commissar Su and ask him to help contact Bethune. The hospital, when Brother Long's condition stabilizes, I will send him there in person. I, I am familiar with the road there, and I guarantee that there will be no problem. " "My, my shoulder is considered strong, but it is not as good as Zhang Songling. In comparison, it was not in the same order of magnitude. He was scratched to the point of pain. He bared his teeth and protested in a low voice, "Hurry up and get you."Let go of your hands, and you will take off my shoulders. We will send the telegram jointly. As for who will escort Brother Long in the end, there is no rush to decide now. According to discipline, it involves the cooperation of several military divisions. Let's The two of them have no right to make the decision and have to listen to the arrangements of their superiors. " "Ah, that's true. "Zhang Songling unclenched his fingers and apologized in a low voice, "I was too anxious just now and didn't expect this level. " "What else can you think of now. "Fang Guoqiang rolled his eyes at him, rubbed his shoulders and complained. For two consecutive days and one night, the other party was either guarding Zhao Tianlong's bed or at the door of the ward, unable to sleep or eat. Eat, as for all the affairs of the guerrillas and the base area, they are completely delegated to others. This is really a bit irresponsible. The more you get, the more trouble it will cause for you two. "Zhang Songling immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words, smiled again, and responded apologetically. In front of outsiders such as Zhou Heitan and Medical Officer Li, Fang Guoqiang could not speak too deeply. He sighed and reminded tactfully: " In any case, Battalion Commander Zhou and Medical Officer Li have helped us a lot this time. Even if we have money, we may not be able to buy the medicines they brought." "There is no need to say these words. As long as we can treat Brother Long's As long as the injury has an effect. "Zhou Heitan was very ungrateful. He pinched him with his eyelids and shook his head with a sneer. "You came late and you don't know the friendship between the three of us. If I were lying here today, I can guarantee that Fatty, Brother Long will also use everything he has to save my life, no matter I am a bandit leader or a Kuomintang leader. ¡± Note 1: Bethune, a member of the Communist Party of Canada, graduated from the University of Toronto School of Medicine in 1916 with a bachelor¡¯s degree.
