Chapter 1877 The Injury of the First Deputy Regiment Commander

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?" Dr. He, filled with shame, pointed at Xiao Xu and scolded her.

"Dr. He, I'm just telling the truth, I didn't embellish it!"

"You're not exaggerating, you're talking nonsense. I have no recollection of it at all," the deputy commander retorted, refusing to admit his mistake.

"Say it again!" Dr. He reached out, as if to hit Xiao Xu.

"Alright, I won't tell the truth anymore. I'm leaving. Deputy Commander, Dr. Song is here. You can think about this carefully."

Dr. He chased after them, and Xiao Xu hopped and skipped away like a rabbit.

After Xiao Xu left, Dr. He said with a blush:

"Don't listen to Xiao Xu's nonsense. If you're alright, I'm going back to Jiujiang. I came here to send the wounded and pick up some medical supplies."

"Jiujiang has been recovered?"

"It was recaptured a few days ago."

"What are the next steps for the troops?"

"I don't know about that. Our troops suffered considerable casualties during the recapture of Jiujiang and Nanchang."

"Alas! I missed the battle to recapture Jiujiang County."

"I heard that Japanese troops from Zhejiang and Hubei have come to reinforce us, Deputy Regiment Commander. The battle is far from over; you won't miss out."

A while later, the hospital doctor came to make rounds and saw Dr. He in the ward of a deputy commander. He said:

"Oh, Dr. Song, you're here."

"I just arrived, and the regimental commander, worried about the deputy regimental commander's injuries, asked me to come and check on him."

"Hmm." The vice president nodded, gesturing for Dr. Song to come outside the ward to talk.

Dr. Song knew there must be some unresolved issues from the regimental commander's surgery, so he quickly followed him out.

"Most of the shrapnel has been removed from the regimental commander, and he is recovering. However, a piece of shrapnel in the lower left of his lung is too close to a blood vessel, and we are worried that it might damage the vessel and cause massive bleeding, so we haven't dared to remove it."

The vice president said with a hint of regret.

Dr. Song knew that if the shrapnel wasn't removed from the body, it could potentially move. If it damaged the lungs, the person would cough frequently.

If a blood vessel is damaged, causing massive bleeding, then the person is beyond saving. She asked worriedly:

"Is there no way for Dean Wu to perform this surgery?"

"The one who performed the surgery on the deputy regimental commander was none other than Director Wu of our field hospital," the deputy director said, shaking his head.

If even Dean Wu wasn't capable of performing the surgery, Dr. Song knew she was even less capable.

Does this mean that a deputy regimental commander will have to live in constant fear from now on?

"but?"

"But what?"

"Dean Wu said that Dean Yuan from our General Hospital can perform this surgery."

Dr. Song felt a renewed sense of hope.

"Dean Wu said that once the deputy regimental commander's condition stabilizes, he will arrange for a plane to transport him to the headquarters of our army hospital, where Dean Yuan will perform the surgery."

The regimental commander and deputy regimental commander were as close as brothers, a fact well-known in the First Brigade of the Southern Independent Division.

The vice president had no doubt that Dr. Song was on orders from the regimental commander to visit the deputy regimental commander.

But Xiao Xu was smiling maliciously from not far away.

"Vice President, have all the medicines we need at the front lines been loaded onto the trucks?"

"It's installed. Dean Wu arranged for people to install it early this morning. I heard you encountered a Japanese ambush on your way here?"

"Yes."

"This area is under the control of the government forces, so it's relatively safe. Should we transfer a platoon from the hospital's guard unit to go back with you?"

"No need, we can handle it ourselves."
