Rise From Eight Hundred

Dozens of people in the Sihangying camp knew that Gu Xishui had a girl he liked.

She was a female nurse from the 43rd Army Medical Team.

This female medical team of only 8 people in the 43rd Army was comparable to a giant panda in the army full of male hormones.

Three months ago, the Sichuan Army swore to go to war in various parts of Sichuan Province, and 200,000 men left their hometowns wearing straw sandals and carrying guns.

But who says that women must be inferior to men? I don’t know how many female students in the Sichuan Women’s School wrote to join the army and set foot on the anti-Japanese battlefield with their fathers and brothers.

At that time, compared with other provinces in China, Sichuan Province’s male chauvinism was really much weaker. This phenomenon will become more serious in the future China, and the name of "henpecked" is not called for nothing.

Faced with the letters of request for battle that came in like snowflakes from female students, and even blood letters written by biting their fingers, coupled with the fact that the New Culture Movement has been rising for nearly 20 years, the bigwigs in Sichuan Province don’t want to be labeled as "discriminating against women."

Therefore, the three armies that left Sichuan selected no more than ten women to join the army, all of whom were nurses in the medical team, and issued the most stringent military discipline. Anyone who dared to harass female nurses in the army, regardless of whether they were officers, lieutenants or soldiers, would be punished by wartime military law!

Naturally, no matter how cruel the war was, the female medical team was carefully protected in the rear, just like the 8-person female nursing team in the 43rd Army, which has not lost a single person so far, and is also the pride of the 43rd Army, second only to the bloody battle of Dachang Town in Songhu for seven days and nights.

Not only did they make them proud of the female nurses they protected, but the female nurses did not disappoint them.

When the 43rd Army first entered Songhu, it immediately fought in Dachang Town, and the entire army lost nearly 90%. Many of the seriously injured who survived by chance were found out from the pile of dead bodies by the female medical team.

Chinese women treated Chinese men on the battlefield, and Chinese men protected the Chinese women behind them at the risk of their lives. In a sense, these eight female nurses with military status have long gone beyond simple men and women for the officers and soldiers of the 43rd Army.

They are brothers and sisters, fathers and daughters.

However, the treasure carefully protected by the 43rd Army was targeted.

Moreover, no matter how strict the military law of the 43rd Army is, the Four-Line Camp does not belong to the 43rd Army. What's more, the young and handsome Sergeant Gu Xishui did not harass. You can't define him as harassing just because he sneaked a peek at the female nurse who treated his wounds from time to time!

In that case, hundreds of wounded soldiers can be dragged out and chopped. In the words of the Japanese, they are dead!

Yes, Gu Xishui was injured in the battle of Tianma Mountain. The injury was not serious. He was shot in the left arm. The sharp bullet of the Type 38 rifle passed through the muscle and left a big hole. The bone was not injured, but the wound was hideous and needed stitches. He was sent to the 43rd Army Medical Team for treatment.

Before being sent to the 43rd Army Medical Team, he was still as stubborn as a donkey and refused to go. He thought that he was only injured in his left arm and could follow the brothers of the Four-line Camp to fight in Songjiang after a bandage. In the end, Tang Dao ordered that all wounded soldiers who needed to be sutured should stay in the 43rd Army Medical Team for treatment and return to the team after recovery.

Unexpectedly, the extremely depressed young sergeant regained vitality in the medical team.

Because he met his love here.

The news eventually spread in the Four-line Camp where they met again a week ago, which really shocked everyone.

It is not uncommon for young male soldiers to like gentle military nurses.

After experiencing the scorching flames of war and countless deaths, the soldiers' psychology has reached the limit. Soft faces and warm words are the best medicine to heal the wounds of the soul.

In non-wartime, it is not just an isolated case that they splash cold water on themselves to get a fever, or even deliberately slip and sprain their feet on the training ground, just to be able to enter the medical team to take a look at the female nurses.

Since ancient times, beauties love heroes. It is normal for female nurses to love wounded soldiers, especially those who are injured in the battlefield.

Compared with a group of illiterate rough men who dropped their hoes and picked up guns, Gu Xishui, who is well educated and has a good family background, is definitely a rare existence. Coupled with the aura of the Fourth Camp, it is not a rare thing to be favored by female nurses.

Mutual love may be the most correct way to open it.

But the real situation is obviously different from what the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Camp imagined.

Gu Xishui is unrequited love, and he has never confessed his love. The eldest son of a wealthy family does not even know the other party's real name, only that she is called Yaomeier.

Well! People in Sichuan Province actually call younger girls like this. To put it bluntly, Gu Xishui knows nothing. His thoughts may only be known by his closest comrades.

Then, after leaving the medical team and returning to the Fourth Camp, the whole camp who helped him promote it knew it.

Moreover, the most puzzling thing is that Li Jiujin and a group of officers, out of curiosity, took the opportunity to visit the seriously injured and looked at all the 8 female nurses of the 43rd Army Medical Team. They finally found the girl called "Yao Mei'er" who was the most ordinary looking.

She was really an ordinary girl, not tall, thin and small, with dark skin and a few light freckles on her nose. The only thing worth mentioning was that she had a pair of lively big eyes on her ordinary face.

After further inquiry, it turned out that ‘Yao Mei’er’ was not a student like other female nurses who joined the army in Sichuan Province, but an orphan picked up by the 43rd Army on the march. Seeing the orphan girl starving to death on the roadside, they gave her something to eat. After taking a breath, the orphan stubbornly followed the army all the way from the border between Sichuan and Guizhou to Jiangxia. Until the moment of boarding the ship, Lieutenant General Liu Yuqing, who received this information, sighed slightly and ordered her to be incorporated into the medical team.

"Brother! With talents and family background like you, you must find a woman like reporter Tan Tai like your superiors!" Even a rough man like Cheng Tieshou couldn't help but persuade Gu Xishui. "This girl is too ordinary. If you take her back, your parents won't agree!"

Gu Xishui just smiled and said nothing.

No one knows what the characteristics of ‘Yao Mei’er’ attracted to an excellent soldier like Gu Xishui are, except himself.

Perhaps, this is what love should be like in youth.

Others don't know where you are good, but I know, so I like you.

Very simple, incomparably pure.

But Gu Xishui was panicking at this time.

Because the two guard battalions and a fire support company of the security battalion that were about to attack the 36th Infantry Brigade were basically composed of officers and soldiers of the 67th Army, the 43rd Army felt that they must not be missing from the battlefield that was almost a life-and-death battle.

If there were not many soldiers who could fight, they would send the medical team that they regarded as a treasure.

After asking Tang Dao for a fight, Tang Dao also considered that if there was a medical team, at least some of the casualties could be reduced. They could die on the battlefield, but they could not just lie helplessly in the mud and take their last breath.

Moreover, the army that blocked the 36th Infantry Brigade was not necessarily a situation of total annihilation. If they could hold on until the advance group returned or the main force of the detour army came to help, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

More importantly, if there was no medical team, it would almost be like telling those 1,000 people that they were doomed to die and there was no need to waste medical resources. How cruel was that?

Even death row prisoners would have a full meal before going to the execution ground!

Soldiers are soldiers, and medical soldiers are also soldiers!

Tang Dao approved the request of the 43rd Army Medical Team to send 16 medical soldiers to accompany the two guard battalions.

Among them, there are three female nurses, including "Little Sister".

Gu Xishui found "Little Sister" carrying a medical box in the queue that was marching forward.

Without the young sergeant saying anything, "Little Sister", who was not conspicuous at all in the queue, blushed and quickly lowered her head, like a frightened deer, avoiding the sergeant's burning gaze.

Even if the young sergeant never said it, the sharp intuition unique to women could feel the young sergeant's feelings.

However, for the timid girl, this sudden and unique burning emotion suddenly came, and fear was far greater than joy.

She chose to avoid it, although the girl's heart told her that she would also be happy for this handsome and brave sergeant.

Just like when she changed his dressing, she was always very gentle, and she blew gently on the hideous wound, just like when she blew on her younger brother who had starved to death and fell and broke his skin, he stopped crying.

She thought he didn't know.

But he always knew.

The army's march would not stop because of a young man and woman.

The young sergeant stood in the empty mud, watching his beloved girl lower her head and walk away with the army.

"Little sister, take care!" The young sergeant who didn't have the courage to shout in public could only wave his hand and shout to the distance at this moment.

Stay for a moment, until the figure disappeared and could no longer be seen, put on the gun and turned around!

His brothers are still waiting for him.

Night, falling!

. . . . . . . . . .

PS: I don't know if this chapter will be said to be a watered-down article again. In fact, Fengyue has always wanted to write Gu Xishui's love story, but has never found a suitable opportunity. Finally, it was found in this last battle in the southeast.

He represents the passion of the young men and women of that era!
