Chapter 36 He Yuzhu's new discovery, inferior medical kit
He Yuzhu has been staying in the field hospital to recuperate these days, and the smell he smells most every day is formalin.
This field hospital in Cheorwon was extremely busy, receiving a large number of wounded volunteer soldiers every day.
Originally, He Yuzhu was a seriously injured patient. After waking up in the military tent, he was "invited" to the outside and his bed was vacated.
This also indirectly illustrates the current tension and scarcity of medical resources for the Volunteer Army. He Yuzhu has no complaints. After all, this is an extraordinary period and everyone needs emergency treatment.
He Yuzhu takes a tablet of amoxicillin almost every day to deal with wound infection. You should know that the current field hospitals simply use bandages to bandage and disinfect the wounds, and the hospital environment is simple and the sanitary conditions are poor, which can easily cause secondary infection of the wound. At this time, antibiotics show their due value.
On this day, He Yuzhu was able to walk again. He walked slowly into the marching tent, intending to find Doctor Wang to ask about the condition of his injuries. Suddenly, he saw an opened medical first aid kit on the table.
Inside was a small bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine and a roll of special bandage for stopping bleeding. Although the contents of the first aid kit were very simple, these were the things that the volunteer soldiers used to save their lives in first aid on the battlefield.
But the things presented in front of him now made him feel a little nauseous, because the careful He Yuzhu discovered that the bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine, he could see through the glass bottle that the pills inside were damp and moldy. As for the roll of bandage, it was even more exaggerated, there were bacterial plaques on it. If this thing was used by the volunteer soldiers, it would be adding insult to injury. It would not have any therapeutic effect, but would aggravate their condition.
After discovering this situation, He Yuzhu suddenly recalled something he had read in a history book in his previous life.
It seems that at this point in time, there was indeed an appalling incident in which a profiteer used inferior medical kits to harm soldiers on the front line.
He tried hard to recall this past event in his mind. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered that the instigator of this inferior medical kit was named Wang Kangnian, the boss of Dakang Western Medicine Store. It was this beast who ate human blood and did such an inhuman act...
Just when He Yuzhu was thinking about how to expose this matter.
Suddenly, a nurse walked into the tent. When she saw He Yuzhu inside, she immediately spoke up.
"He Yuzhu, so you're here. I had a hard time looking for you. Come out quickly. Your superiors are here to see you."
He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately followed the nurse out of the tent.
Then he saw Army Commander Liang Xingchu and Division Commander Jiang Chao coming towards him. They came to see him in person.
Liang Xingchu walked up to He Yuzhu and looked at him carefully. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he smiled with relief.
"He Yuzhu, you are really good. You seem to have recovered well. You are worthy of being the lucky general of our 38th Army."
Hearing this, He Yuzhu touched his head awkwardly.
"Commander, you are too kind. By the way, how was the Battle of Shangganling?"
Liang Xingchu smiled slightly when he heard this.
"You kid, instead of taking good care of your wounds, you're still concerned about the war on the front lines.
Don't worry, the 26th Army has taken over the defense of our 38th Army and is guarding Shangganling. The US Joint Forces have also calmed down. There won't be any large-scale battles in the short term, so we can rest for a while."
When He Yuzhu heard Liang Xingchu's words, he immediately smiled for the first time in a long time.
"That's good, that's good."
Then Liang Xingchu changed the subject.
"By the way, He Yuzhu, I have already reported to my superiors how you defended the "Triangle Mountain" highland brilliantly and bravely killed the enemy this time."
The Volunteer Army Headquarters has decided to award you a special merit as an individual and a first-class merit as a group, and to make your guard company a model company and a combat hero company for the entire army. Once the official approval is given, you will be promoted again."
When He Yuzhu heard the news, he did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he looked a little sad.
Jiang Chao, who had been silent, saw He Yuzhu's expression and immediately asked,
"He Yuzhu, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying so hard when you're about to get promoted?"
He Yuzhu shook his head and immediately explained,
"Division Commander, I'm not complaining about this, but because out of the 120 soldiers in our guard company, I'm the only one who survived. I don't deserve this special merit. I'd rather not have this credit in exchange for their survival."
When Jiang Chao heard what He Yuzhu said, he was stunned. Somehow, he felt a little inexplicably sad.
The army commander Liang Xingchu patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and gave him a serious warning.
"He Yuzhu, think positively. Although it is a pity that the soldiers of your guard company died, they sacrificed their lives for the new China, for the people of North and South Korea, and for resisting the US imperialism. They are incomparably great and glorious."
Hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded and said nothing more.
After Liang Xingchu and Jiang Chao saw that He Yuzhu was safe and sound, they planned to return the same way they came.
Just as they turned to leave, He Yuzhu thought of the medical kit and immediately called out to them.
"Commander, division commander, wait a moment."
When Liang Xingchu and Jiang Chao heard what He Yuzhu said, they stopped and turned around, looking at him in surprise.
"What's wrong? He Yuzhu, is there anything else?"
He Yuzhu immediately got straight to the point.
"Commander, Division Commander, I have discovered a major problem in the field hospital recently, and I need to report it to you two."
Liang Xingchu and Jiang Chao became interested upon hearing this and came to He Yuzhu again.
"He Yuzhu, if you have any new discoveries, just tell us. Don't be so mysterious all the time."
He Yuzhu nodded.
"Commander, it's like this. I found that the medical kits sent by our logistics department are of poor quality and have already moldy. If these things are used to treat our volunteer soldiers, it will only cause unnecessary casualties. I think our volunteer soldiers should die on the battlefield, not die in hospital beds because of logistics and medical problems!"
Liang Xingchu was hot-tempered and hated evil, so when he heard the news, he was furious.
"He Yuzhu, where is the first aid kit? Take me to see it."
He Yuzhu then brought Liang Xingchu to the temporary warehouse where the medical kits were stored in the field hospital. When the guard saw Liang Xingchu and the others coming, he immediately stopped them.
"Which department are you from? This is a restricted warehouse, no outsiders allowed in!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Xingchu immediately revealed his identity.
"I'm Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army. I suspect the medical kits in your warehouse have serious quality issues. I'm going to check them out. Is there any problem?"
The soldier in charge of guarding heard that the big man in front of him actually claimed to be the commander of the 38th Army. However, due to his duty, he did not give way, but continued to ask Liang Xingchu,
"Comrade, please show me your ID, otherwise I will not let you in."
