1590 Injured
Old Fox looked at Lynch's profile and marveled at Lynch's handsomeness. There was almost no big change from the past, but he had become more mature.
He couldn't help but ask a question that he also wanted to know, "When will you get married?"
"I hope I can still make it!"
Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can try my best to let you do other things..."
He shrugged, "You know, but there's nothing we can do about it. It's unlikely that I'll get married."
"When one is too rich, getting married is the stupidest thing to do!"
In fact, it cannot be said that there is no chance at all, but it is obviously unlikely in a short time.
Old Fox was a little surprised, but he didn't ask further.
Lynch did not attend the afternoon party. He chatted with Little Fox for a few words and then with the bride and her family before leaving.
He still had a lot to do and no time to stay here and kill time.
After Lynch left, little Fox walked up to Old Fox with some curiosity, "What did you just talk about?"
Counting from the time Lynch came here to the time he left here, he almost stayed with the old Fox.
Little Fox was curious about how the two of them had so much to say, and his curiosity led him to ask tentatively.
Old Fox glanced sideways at him, "Talk about you idiot!"
Everyone may have different opinions on whether Foxx is an idiot, but at least the wedding was a success.
Meanwhile, in Marillo, the fighting never stopped for a moment.
Since the southern cities have been occupied by the Federals, it is not easy to attack the Federals in these occupied areas.
The cash crop plan proposed by Lynch was also the first to be popularized in southern cities, so people in southern cities had a very different attitude towards the Confederacy.
They are not as hostile to the Federation as those in other places. Instead, they are more cooperative. Except for occasional sneak attacks in some places, the overall situation is basically stable.
But it is completely different from central to northern Marillo. Large areas here are not considered federal occupied areas, and the federal military has not sorted out these areas.
The death of President Marillo, as well as the military assistance from Pengeo and the dependent countries, made the resistance forces in this part very active.
Logically speaking, the Federation has taken over control of the capital of Marillo and has proposed to eventually return power to the next president of Marillo.
But the people of Marillo have no intention of stopping their struggle!
The death of the great president seems to have activated something in everyone here. They are no longer divided into Marillos or Mallorians, they all unite together to cause trouble for the Federation!
Just now, the team combing the city was attacked by mortars. The brief whistle sound as the shells fell reminded the team in time.
They tried their best to avoid it, but three people were still injured.
Austin found a protective position and lay down. She took out a knife and cut open her trouser leg, and a piece of shrapnel hit her thigh.
She would like to thank the supplier of federal military uniforms. Their military uniforms use four layers of fabric, including a layer of special natural material, which has strong strength and toughness.
It is the core material against fragments, but this does not mean that soldiers can ignore explosions and fragments. It just gives soldiers a hope of survival in the worst situations, that's all.
The fragment finally tore through the layer of material and penetrated into Austin's thigh. Blood did not flow out immediately, but a small amount of blood spilled out from the wound bit by bit.
She cursed a few times, while her companions observed the surroundings and arranged for people to come over to inquire about the situation.
"It's not good, but it's not too bad either." She turned pale, not because of the blood, but because of fear.
Originally, she did not need to come to the front line, but with the full-scale war between the Federation and Pengeo, a large number of elite soldiers needed to change defenses and then go to Nagaril, so Austin and other soldiers were transferred to Mariro.
Austin was relatively familiar with Marillo. In fact, she was only familiar with the situation over the border, and didn't know much about the situation deep into the central part of Marillo, but that's what it said on her file.
So she was assigned to the frontline troops to sort out the cities in the central area of Marillo.
Street fighting is always the most difficult to fight. Documentaries of early street fighting between the Federals and Marillos were broadcast throughout the army, and people have clearly realized this.
They also have a lot of necessary knowledge and know how to deal with certain situations, but they still face injuries and death every day.
The Mariro rebels became more cunning than any enemy the Federation had ever seen, like the mortar attack just now.
They just found a spot to place a mortar, then ran away with the base on their shoulders.
Don't expect to find them in a short period of time. They may return home and throw the base into the well, transforming into a good citizen and undergoing various inspections.
The situation is extremely complicated. It's possible that you walked out of a family without realizing they had any intention of attacking.
But after you go out, they will shoot you in the back.
This situation tortured the federal soldiers to a great extent, and everyone's nerves were tense.
She tried to stand up, but unfortunately, she couldn't walk on her own until the shrapnel was removed, and the shrapnel couldn't be removed in a short time.
Now the shrapnel situation is very complicated. She is not sure whether it has damaged her artery or its tributaries. That position is very dangerous.
If the shrapnel is removed rashly and causes bleeding, it will be fatal.
She could only find a way to get back to a safe place, but she couldn't leave on her own and could only call for backup.
One of the other two guys was only slightly injured and not a big problem, but the other guy was in very bad condition.
Shrapnel shot into his chest. Although the bleeding was not obvious, his breathing became disordered and his coughing was accompanied by blood.
Fortunately, the confrontation between the Marillos and the federals was not that terrible siege, just sporadic attacks.
The supporting armored vehicle came over quickly. They also prepared stretchers and put the two people on the vehicle. The others also returned to the camp in the vehicle.
About ten minutes away from the military camp, the unfortunate guy who was shot in the chest had stopped breathing forever.
He was in great pain before he died. He just lay there, breathing heavily, but it seemed as if something was stopping him from breathing.
You can feel him being suffocated bit by bit.
In the end, after struggling wildly for about ten seconds, he died on the stretcher with his eyes almost bulging.
The atmosphere inside the armored vehicle was deathly silent, and everyone's inner world was heavy and gray.
Another young soldier left this world forever. The captain of Austin's team punched the loading compartment hard.
The steel plate broke the skin on his fist, and some blood spilled out.
Seeing her comrades die in front of her, Austin was also a little frightened because her thigh wound began to bleed.
And the amount of bleeding looked scary.
The blood overflowed out in a slow but definitely large flow along the gaps that could be found. She tried to close the wound, and even simply sutured the wound with a suture needle from the field medical kit.
But the blood was still pouring out.
Yes, gush, it’s no longer overflowing.
Fortunately, they were not too far from the military camp at this time, and a few minutes later, they returned to the military camp.
There were many wounded people in the military camp. Austin was sent to the operating room and she was disarmed, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.
The doctor checked her wound and frowned, "It may have damaged the arterial tributaries..."
"Do you know your blood type?"
Blood transfusion as an effective medical method has not been used in clinical practice for a long time. People in the Holy Harmony Society who pursue immortality have promoted the development of medical technology in this world.
"Blood transfusion for immortality" was once regarded as the most likely medical solution to extend human life. Therefore, blood transfusion and blood collection have become mature and reliable in recent years.
When the war broke out, many people were destined to need blood transfusions, and the federal government also strengthened the management and control of this area.
Austin knew her blood type. She reported her blood type. The doctor glanced at the nurse, and not long after, the nurse came back with a blood bag.
"You are lucky!" This is not a joke, it is the doctor's sincere words.
As the number of wounded increases, the blood bank prepared by the military is in urgent need. Recently, they plan to organize a national blood donation to alleviate the ischemia situation in the blood bank.
He asked the nurse to hang up the blood bag, then glanced at Austin, "Are you afraid of pain?"
Austin shook his head.
As a soldier, a warrior, injuries were normal to her.
The doctor smiled slightly, used a scalpel to pick apart the sutures she had sutured, and then said, "Be patient," and then inserted his fingers directly into the wound.
For a moment, severe pain filled every nerve in Austin, and her whole body became tense!
"Is there...anesthetic?"
The nurse said apologetically, "Sorry, we've run out."
There have always been casualties on the front lines. Originally, the military and medical groups did not think that there were so many cases that required narcotics and painkillers.
But the fact is exactly the opposite. There are more injuries, especially serious injuries, than deaths and minor injuries. Almost everyone needs anesthetics and painkillers.
In fact, there are still some, but those are reserved for those who need it more.
After more than ten seconds, the doctor's finger left the wound, and blood gushes out.
"It's not too bad. You're lucky you didn't damage an artery."
Many people have a misunderstanding that heavy bleeding means an artery must be injured.
In fact, if an artery is really injured, simple hemostasis cannot stop it.
Although Austin did not injure the arteries, he did injure some smaller blood vessels. Even those very thin blood vessels also caused a terrible amount of bleeding.
He held a pair of needle-nose pliers and looked at Austin, "It won't hurt soon..."
