Chapter 620 Medical Team

In May 1940, in order to control the traffic on the Yangtze River and cut off the transportation line to Chongqing, the Japanese assembled 300,000 troops and launched the Zaoyi Campaign.

In this battle, the 33rd Army, which was Zhang Zizhong's unit, bravely stood up and was highly expected by the government.

At that time, two regiments of the 33rd Army were stationed on the west bank of the Xiang River, which was the target of the Japanese.

Obviously, facing the superior forces of the Japanese, it was difficult for these two regiments to hold on there.

Finding that the situation was not good, Zhang Zizhong, as the commander-in-chief of the army, could have not led his troops to reinforce in person, but he insisted that the deputy commander-in-chief stay at the headquarters despite the repeated dissuasion of his subordinates.

After Zhang Zizhong led more than 2,000 people to cross the Xiang River to the east, he bravely attacked all the way and cut off the 13th Division of the Japanese.

Unwilling to see this situation, the Japanese were annoyed and surrounded and attacked Zhang Zizhong's unit with an absolute superior force.

Faced with this dilemma, Zhang Zizhong did not flinch and led his troops to fight the Japanese.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zizhong's troops were outnumbered and their weapons were obviously inferior, so they were wiped out by the devils.

And Zhang Zizhong himself, after a long bloody battle, fell under the bayonet of the devils.

Of course, the devils also paid a heavy price.

It is worth mentioning that after discovering General Zhang's body, the devils actually worshiped him together after repeated confirmation!

Moreover, the devils used good wood to make a coffin for him and erected a wooden sign.

Even when his body was rushed back to the rear by his subordinates, the devils ordered the air force to stop air raids for one day to avoid hurting his body.

It can be seen that General Zhang Zizhong's performance in the War of Resistance was admired by the devils who advocated militarism at the time.

Of course, the Chinese military and political circles also gave the highest level of commemoration after hearing that Zhang Zizhong died for his country.

On the morning of May 28, when the coffin was transported to Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing by ship, Jiang Jieshi, Feng Yuxiang and other senior officials gathered at the wharf to greet him and escorted him to the wartime capital Chongqing for burial.

It must be said that when the ship passed Yichang, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians stood on the shore to mourn.

After the state funeral, the National Government issued him the "No. 1 Honor and Mourning Certificate".

That's not all. General Zhang Zizhong's tablet was placed in the Martyrs' Shrine and ranked first.

Zhang Zizhong died as a lieutenant general of the army. Afterwards, he was posthumously awarded the rank of second-class general of the army.

In fact, as a famous anti-Japanese general and national hero, he was also the highest-ranking general of the Allied forces who died in World War II.

It is a pity that he died at the age of 49.

If he had not died, there would have been a lot of room for development.

Of course, it is only 1937 now, and Zhang Zizhong is still alive.

In addition, Ye Tian has been in the Pingjin area for nearly a month, and he knows a little about Zhang Zizhong and his troops.

And the reason why Ye Tian went to Langfang was very intentional, that is, to help Zhang Zizhong's troops.

Ye Tian got a piece of information from the Tianjin Office of the Renaissance Society.

Under the attack of the 77th Regiment of the 20th Division of the Japanese, Zhang Zizhong's troops, to be precise, the 226th Regiment of the 113th Brigade, could not withstand the attack and had to retreat to the Tongzhou area.

During the retreat, many soldiers lost contact with the troops because of the Japanese's relentless pursuit.

Among them, the medical team of the 226th Regiment was a small team that lost contact.

This medical team had a total of 102 people, but many of them were killed by the Japanese during the retreat.

In addition, many were separated.

According to the report of the Tianjin Office, a few days ago, some defeated soldiers met the captain Xiao Ling.

At that time, Xiao Ling was surrounded by military doctors and medical staff, a total of 10 people.

As we all know, in any army, although the medical team basically has no chance to participate in the war, its status is quite important.

The reason is very simple. Whenever a soldier is injured, they will receive their treatment.

In addition to the seriously injured, the lightly injured or moderately injured must return to the organization as soon as possible in order to continue to execute various military orders.

And as long as there is a war, there will basically be wounded.

At this time, the role of the medical team is perfectly reflected.

Because China's national strength is weak, the weapons of most troops are very backward, and the military literacy of the soldiers is also very average. Fighting with the devils is quite passive, and there are many wounded.

Therefore, in various Chinese troops, the role of the medical team is greater.

Of course, the core of the medical team is military doctors and medical workers.

Especially military doctors, without several years, even more than ten years, or decades of training, it is difficult to be independent.

Therefore, in any army, military doctors are extremely important figures with particularly high prestige.

In the real history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, considering that China is seriously short of military doctors, many foreign friends came to China from afar to help Chinese soldiers in various troops.

In fact, let alone military doctors, even medical workers are not easy to train.

Therefore, after learning that Xiao Ling and the others were still alive, the head of the 226th Regiment and others were very anxious.

At this time, a capable team was especially needed to find and help Xiao Ling and the others return to the army.

The reason was simple. The 226th Regiment was already facing the pursuit of the devils and finally escaped. They had no ability to go back to rescue.

In fact, because Xiao Ling and the others had lost contact for too long, it was difficult to find them.

The remaining troops of the 226th Regiment were also responsible for participating in the defense of Tianjin.

Through Zhang Zizhong's coordination, the 226th Group found the Tianjin office of Fuxing Society.

Moreover, through the Tianjin office, Ye Tian received a request for help from the 226th Regiment.

The reason Ye Tian rushed over was to help the 226th Regiment and pay tribute to the national hero Zhang Zizhong.

Of course, it has to be said that for the sake of safety, the Tianjin office is also looking for Xiao Ling and the others.

What surprised Ye Tian was that this Xiao Ling was very unusual.

Xiao Ling is 24 years old this year. She is not a military doctor or a health worker, but a sharpshooter.

Her mission is simple. In addition to leading the health team, she is also responsible for protecting them.

In addition, since time traveling, Ye Tian has never failed in any action.

Ye Tian himself also said that for the sake of the national hero Zhang Zizhong, he had to find Xiao Ling and the others no matter what and escort them safely to the army.

What Ye Tian didn't know was that Xiao Ling and the others were in a very dangerous situation at this moment.

Xiao Ling is a very smart girl with good military qualities.

After losing contact with the large army, considering that her subordinates were all women or girls, she led her troops to march along a remote place.

Unfortunately, due to their poor physical condition and extremely slow marching speed, they were discovered by a Japanese squadron.

It was discovered that there was a Chinese health team ahead, consisting of 10 women. Squadron leader Naoki Kawaguchi was very interested and determined to capture them alive.
