Chapter 128 Field Hospital
"What a president! Tang Jingsang ran away and threw this mess to me. Liu Yongfu reprimanded, "My Black Flag Army has been scattered for a long time. When you get together, you don't even have a fraction of your brigade commander. Forget it. Go and tell Admiral Zhou Zhou that he will take the presidency. As for me, it's up to you. You can be a company commander in your Zhangjun."
"How can that work!" Shannian said, "If our military commander is the president, you are the vice president. If it hadn't been for Marshal Liu's persistence in Tainan, our Zhang Jun would not even have a place to stay. Marshal Liu has made great achievements and is the benefactor of our Zhang Jun.
"How did I become a benefactor? It was you who saved my life. Liu Yongfu shouted.
"Each other." Li Guoge laughed.
The dense warships sailed into Anping Port from far and near. In the small Anping Port, cars and horses were suddenly noisy and wolf flags were like a forest.
The main force of Zhang Jun began to land.
......
September 20, 1895, Chiayi.
Chiayi is located in the plain area of southwest Taiwan. Part of the east is outside the hilly area, and the rest are plains. The terrain slowly descends from east to west, and the terrain is flat and broad.
Chiayi City is basically free from danger. The only thing that can be relied on is two rivers, Bazhang River in the south of the city and Puzi River in the north of the city. These two rivers originate in the central mountains and surround Chiayi City. Then there is Zhuluo Mountain in the east of the city, which is just a small platform.
From a strategic point of view, Chiayi is not a must-have place for soldiers. However, by this time, the Japanese army had occupied the whole north-central Taiwan, and Chiayi became the last gateway to Tainan.
Originally, Changhua was the strategic place for Taiwan to attack and defend. If Zhang Jun wants to recover central and northern Taiwan, he must first seize Changhua and take Changhua as a bridgehead and stand firm before he can gradually develop to the north.
However, the Japanese army has occupied Changhua City, and the failure of the mixed brigade stimulated the Japanese Guard Division. In less than a day, the main force of the Guards Division arrived in Changhua. Prince Kita Shirakawa, the head of the division, set up his division headquarters in Changhua. The total strength of the Japanese army in Changhua reached 20,000, and they were all elite, while Zhang Jun The total strength of the independent brigade is only 4,000, which cannot shake Changhua. At the same time, the Japanese Second Division has also moved closer to Changhua.
Therefore, after the independent brigade defeated the Japanese mixed brigade in Changhua, Zhou Charter decisively ordered the troops to quickly transfer to Chiayi and defend Tainan, the last gateway.
The Japanese army was confused in Changhua and didn't figure out who the opponent was for several days. At first, they thought it was the French army and did not dare to attack rashly. In this way, the Guards Division was postponed for three days. By September 4, the Japanese army that attacked Tainan was destroyed in Anping, and the Japanese army realized that it was Zhang Jun who participated in the war!
The arrival of Zhang Jun made the Japanese army happy and worried.
The good thing is that the opponent is not French, which relaxes the tense nerves of the Japanese cabinet; the worry is that the Japanese army has taught Zhang Jun's combat effectiveness and knows that this bone is not easy to gnaw! In North Korea and Liaodong, the poorly equipped Zhang army has made the Japanese army suffer, and now the Zhang army is even better equipped than the Japanese army!
In the face of Zhang Jun, the Japanese army hesitated. In the first battle of Changhua, the Japanese army lost 2,000 people, but it was nothing. In the first battle of Anping, the Tainan detachment, including the main battleship of Yoshino, was completely destroyed, and the Japanese southern fleet was severely damaged. From the base camp to Taiwan, it was completely defeated by the cold and did not react for several days.
So, it was not until September 7 that the Japanese army decided to launch an attack on Chiayi.
This gives Zhou Charter time to deal with it calmly. In seven days, Zhou Charter stepped up the construction of fortifications in Chiayi. He turned Zhuluo Mountain in the east of the city into a fire support point, allowing Guo Erpa to lead a reinforcement battalion and take five wild cannons to Zhuluo Mountain. At the same time, the first line of defense was built in Pu Zixi in the north of the city, and Yan Qionglin was ordered to lead a battalion to garrison; with the wall of Chiayi as the second line of defense, he led a regiment and ten cannons to sit in person. Nahawu led the remaining two battalions as reserves and stationed in Bazhangxi in the south of the city.
Qiu Pengjia and Wu Pengnian mobilized the people of Chiayi to build fortifications. Both of them are very famous in Taiwan. They called on thousands of people in Chiayi and soon built Chiayi into a big fortress. From Zhuluo Mountain, Puzixi to Chiayi City, the trench bunkers are dotted with firepower points of Zhang Jun everywhere. Zhang Jun sits in the bunker and waits for work. This city on the plain has really become a fortress.
On September 7, the Japanese leading troops began to attack Pu Zixi. After a day's battle, the Japanese army seemed to hit the iron wall and burst its head with blood.
Zhang Jun is not only strong, but also has extremely fierce firepower. The artillery fire in Chiayi City and Zhuluo Mountain covered the only way for the Japanese army in Puzixi. The Japanese army paid a huge price and finally boarded the south bank of Puzixi and was immediately intercepted by the nuclear Gatlin cannon of Maxim's heavy machine gun, and the Japanese army was knocked down on the beach. The blood of the Japanese army dyed Pu Zixi red. However, according to Yan Qionglin's department guarding by the stream, the loss is extremely small.
Markin heavy machine guns and Gatling machine guns have become the nightmares of the Japanese army. Japanese artillery tried every possible to find the fire point of heavy machine guns. However, under the guidance of Zhou Charter, the soldiers of the heavy machine gun squad have become soldiers, and the fortifications are connected in all directions. After fighting for a while, the soldiers followed the trenches to change places, and the Japanese artillery often burst into the air.
Only the Gatlin machine gun is too bulky to shift the position. However, Zhang Jun's machine gun position was covered with hard granite, and the Japanese artillery hit the granite, only hitting a white spot. Moreover, the field guns of the Zhang army in Zhuluoshan suppressed the Japanese artillery, and it was difficult for the Japanese army to organize strong artillery fire.
In three days, the Japanese assault troops suffered heavy losses, and 700 to 800 Japanese corpses were scattered on the beach of Puzixi River.
The hot weather in September, and the body emitted a pungent rotten smell. Yan Qionglin's headquarters stationed on the edge of Puzixi resisted the three-day fierce attack of the Japanese army, but could not withstand the pungent rotten smell. In three days, there were only more than 30 casualties in the battle. Unexpectedly, more than 200 people fell ill, vomiting and diarrhea. The patient immediately transferred to The field hospital is located in the Mituo Zen Temple in Chiayi City. And the officers and soldiers left in the position are getting weaker and weaker.
The field hospital is a new combat unit of Zhang Jun, composed of volunteers from the Shanghai Red Cross Society. Is the director Mary?
After Zhou Charter's "resurrection" in Shanghai, he began to prepare to cross the sea and prepare for a lot of preparations, but Zhou Charter's most important point was to set up Zhang Jun's own field medical security system. As a soldier in the 21st century, he knows very well that a modern war without medical security is unimaginable. In the First Sino-Japanese War, Zhang Jun was so poor that there was no rescue on the battlefield. Many times, he could only watch many injured brothers die of bloodshed! This is too stimulating for the Zhou Charter. Therefore, Zhou Charter spent a month in Shanghai. In the name of the Prime Minister, he ordered Shanghai Daotai Huang Zunxian to buy drugs, recruit medical staff, and establish a field hospital.
Huang Zunxian is very hard. Not only did he buy a large number of drugs and equipment from foreigners, but also lodged from all sides to mobilize the medical community in Shanghai to form a medical team to join Zhangjun. Most of the hospitals in Shanghai were opened by foreigners. The doctors and nurses in Shanghai were well-educated, well-educated and very dedicated. Most of them have churches and Red Ten *, with noble medical ethics, I heard that Zhang Jun was going to Taiwan, and more than 100 people signed up immediately. After hearing about it, the Red Cross also sent a medical team of more than 20 people. Is the captain Mary? Does Zhou Charter know Mary? Do you know that she is a kind-hearted person, and the Red Cross Society is very popular internationally. With sound power, Zhou Charter let Mary serve as the dean.
After the field hospital took shape, Zhou Charter hired a sea boat to transport the whole hospital to Mawei Military Port and act with Zhang Jun's main force.
In Anping Port, the first operation of Zhangjun Field Hospital was impressive. However, it is ironic that the first wounded treated in the field hospital were not officers and soldiers, but the Japanese.
The medical staff of the field hospital braved the rain of bullets and followed the soldiers who rushed forward bravely and rescued the wounded. In that battle, Zhang Jun was so beautiful that there were few casualties. As a result, after an inventory at the end of the day, it was found that 12 wounded soldiers were rescued, but 384 Japanese soldiers were saved. Zhang Jun's wounded soldiers don't even have a fraction of the Japanese army.
One-third of the medical staff in the field hospitals are foreign devils, and most of the other Chinese medical staff have received Western education. No matter what kind of enemy they are, as long as they are wounded soldiers on the battlefield, they will save them. With so many wounded soldiers, the medical staff were few and could not carry them. Mary asked the Zhang soldiers for help, but the officers and soldiers, seeing the wounded Japanese soldiers, all stood by and ignored Mary's words. Mary was angry and strongly protested to Luo Mingfang, saying that she was going to complain to the International Red Cross!
Luo Mingfang thinks it's funny. What is the International Red Cross? How dare she take care of Zhang Jun's affairs? Looking at the old woman's relent look, Luo Mingfang had no choice but to let Li Guoge's marines send a company to the field hospital, one responsible for the safety of the hospital and the other responsible for carrying the Japanese wounded soldiers.
After the First World War, all departments of Zhangjun reported the results of the war, and Mary also reported the "fruits" of the field hospital: treating 396 wounded. Luo Mingfang's head became big. Other troops reported how many Japanese soldiers were killed, but Mary actually saved more than 300 Japanese and returned her mother's "war results"!
Luo Mingfang detained the results reported by Mary and did not be commended. Mary was furious again and sent someone to Chiayi to ask Zhou Charter to judge. Zhou Charter immediately ordered Luo Mingfang to record his achievements in the field hospital! Merit is above all the troops! The reason is very simple: saving people is more difficult than killing people! Saving people's lives is better than building a seven-level buoy. The field hospital saved nearly 400 people. How many levels of buoy was built? Luo Mingfang, you can figure it out by yourself!
