The War of Resistance

A blond man in a white coat was standing at the window looking out.

The afternoon sun gave him a warm feeling through the glass window, but he still felt the chill from the inside out.

After looking at it for a while, he turned around and turned his attention to the wall calendar on the wall. The calendar was from the British Empire. It was only in English, but the Arabic numerals were universally used around the world.

He decided to remember today - December 24, 1937 AD.

He knew that this date was of little significance on a world scale, but to him, it was of great significance to the former Shangfu city where he was located.

It was already afternoon, and he finally heard no more gunshots since morning.

And this means that the so-called Imperial Japanese Army has finally stopped killing people in this small city where merchants once gathered.

It's just that although the Japanese army no longer kills people, the city that once flourished with fireworks is now in ruins.

Although it was impossible for him to see through the wall just now, he also knew that there were very few intact buildings around, and the reason why their hospital was still basically intact was because the flag of the British Empire was flying over the hospital. .

Barbarism, civilization, and industrial civilization have brought about social progress or human killing. Now, as a doctor, he sighed in his heart.

The people below came to him just now to ask for instructions. They said that the Chinese who were working as handymen below were unwilling to go to the streets to pull the patients who died in the hospital out of the city. The reason was that the handymen were afraid of touching them on the streets. When the Japanese army arrived, the people who were supposed to pull the dead bodies would also turn into dead bodies in the sound of "pop" and "pop" gunfire.

Of course he understood the fear in the hearts of those handymen, so he had no choice but to let those handymen dig holes in the hospital yard and bury the more than 20 dead people!

A place meant to save people has become a place to bury people. This is the horror brought about by war.

"Dr. Arthur, another one has been shot. The doctor wants to amputate his leg but they won't do it. Come over and have a look." At this time, a Chinese female nurse pushed in the door.

Two minutes later, the blond doctor Arthur stood in front of a simple stand. The injured man had already passed out. His face was pale, which was obviously caused by excessive blood loss, but it was in stark contrast to the pale color. In contrast, the left arm was red and swollen.

The left arm was so red and swollen that it was as "thick" as a calf!

"It must be amputated. If it is not amputated, it will cause sepsis and you will not even be able to save your life." Dr. Arthur only glanced at it and said in not very fluent Chinese.

"Doctor, can you think of a way to save his arm? We can spend money." At this time, a young man standing next to the stretcher said.

In order to prove that they had money, he took off a bag from his waist. He grabbed a few silver coins and a wad of banknotes in the bag with his hand. However, the bag was still very low, and it was obvious that there was something inside. Still in stock.

Dr. Arthur just glanced at the money bag but still shook his head. This hospital is a missionary hospital. It provides treatment to the Chinese people around him according to the Lord's will. What's the use of asking for money? ?

Of course, if the injured person in front of him is not seriously injured, these silver coins can be used to buy some good medicine, but now the person in front of him is already terminally ill and needs amputation, so what does he need money for?

What's more, the Japanese have already occupied this city, so how can you take the Nationalist Government's banknotes?

"The Lord is omnipotent, but money is not omnipotent. If you want to save his life, you must amputate his arm." Dr. Arthur said expressionlessly.

At this time, Dr. Arthur noticed that the two people standing next to the stretcher exchanged glances, and then one of them nodded to him.

Um? Dr. Arthur glanced at the young man who made the decision with some surprise. He did not expect that the young man who sent the wounded man would make such a quick decision.

A face belonging to the yellow race was no different from the Chinese people he had seen in his daily life.

But he was surprised by this young man's attitude.

He has been in China for three years and is quite familiar with the Chinese people. The Chinese always believe that money is everything, so rich people will always use money to achieve something.

This young man wanted to save the patient's arm and spent money in these troubled times. However, he said that amputation was necessary to save his life, but he did not bother too much.

He is a doctor. After seeing many patients and dead people, he will only make judgments based on the patient's condition and will never be emotional.

Especially from the beginning of December to now, many Chinese people have been injured by the Japanese army in this city. As a devout believer in the Lord, he has treated hundreds of injured people. Of course he knows what to do.

Since the arm could no longer be saved and would endanger life, it could only be cut off directly. It was rare to see this young man be so decisive.

However, the above is only Dr. Arthur's personal thoughts, and he did not reveal the slightest bit on his expression.

But just as he waved his hand to signal the nurses to prepare for the amputation operation, he heard the rapid honking of a car in the yard.

Dr. Arthur couldn't help but frown. This is a hospital, and this car must be their hospital's car, and it is also his special car as the director.

But such sirens had never happened before, even when the Japanese bombed the buildings around the hospital indiscriminately.

The Japanese army finally stopped after occupying the city and slaughtering it until it was filled with blood. But then the Japanese officers and soldiers went everywhere in the streets and alleys to search for Chinese women. Yes, they were Chinese women, from the seventh generation to the eighth generation. If you see a baby girl at any age, you will commit adultery.

As a British man, the Japanese army did not dare to embarrass him.

So he often drove around the streets and alleys, and when he met a Chinese woman, he would drive her directly back to the hospital.

Although he was sometimes bumped into by the Japanese army, the Japanese army never made it difficult for him.

The reason is simple. Britain is stronger than China. If the Japanese army touches British citizens, it will involve the diplomacy of the two countries.

The Japanese invasion of China is actually like a fight between A and B. Each side will seek the support of a third party, or even if the third party does not support it, it will work hard to win the neutrality of the other side. No one will take the initiative to make another enemy.

Dr. Arthur did not go out today because he had two surgeries, so he asked his driver to go out for a "drive", but who would have thought that the car would be honking like this when it came back.

Dr. Arthur knew that something was wrong when his car was honking like this. For the time being, he couldn't care less about the man who needed to amputate an arm, so he hurriedly opened the door and rushed out.

Dr. Arthur is gone, but the amputation surgery must be done. This is a hospital, and Arthur is not the only one who can do the amputation surgery.

The two young men who came to deliver the wounded had already lifted the stretcher under the instructions of the Chinese nurse beside them. At this time, Dr. Arthur's loud protesting voice in English and the Japanese-sounding voice came from the yard. Chirpy words.

As soon as they heard that the Japanese were coming to the yard, the two young men who had already lifted the wounded man couldn't help but move their hands subconsciously, and the stretcher trembled.

"Don't be afraid. This is a British missionary hospital. The Japanese don't dare to do anything to this place." The nurse quickly comforted the two young men, thinking that they were afraid of the Japanese.

Then the two young men looked as normal again in an instant.

The nurse just thought that the two young men were scared, but she didn't know that if the two young men were not carrying a stretcher, they would definitely take out the guns from their waists.

Just because those two people were Shang Zhen and Qiu Bo.

They traveled hundreds of miles to this small town in the southwest of Nanjing, where they came to see Ma Tianfang's injuries while he was lying on a stretcher!
