C2772 French Army Injured Barracks (2/2)
”AHH!” Lin Zhen growled. He was in so much pain that he almost fainted.
”Endure it, brother, I'll give you a new set of gauze …”
Just then, a voice came out from beside Xiang Ying. A female nurse spoke in a low voice in French, ”You can't bandage her directly, you have to sew her up … Otherwise his blood will run dry! ”
Of course, Xiang Ying knew French. Other than his mother tongue, Xiang Ying was extremely proficient in both English and German.
He turned to look at the French nurse, his eyes full of alarm and distrust.
The young nurse was very nervous. Her legs were shaking, but she gathered up her courage and said, ”I'm from the Red Cross. I'm not a soldier... I swear to God I'm not lying to you... ”
”I can help you sew up the wound, but you have to agree that we should continue to save the wounded... ”Those medical supplies that you all are unable to use, please return them to us …”
Oh, now everyone understood. He was not just helping without any conditions!
Xiang Ying looked at Lin Zhen and asked, ”Do you believe her? ”I'll tell you in advance, this is an enemy kingdom's woman, he might just poison you …”
Lin Zhen laughed, ”Death is life, wealth is the Heavens! Just being left with half a catty of meat left me feeling very uncomfortable … ”Let's sew it up!”
Lin Zhen nodded, and only then did the surrounding soldiers retreat half a step. Only then did the cautious nurse dare to move forward, and only when she truly saw the wound did she realize how serious it was.
”You should have just sewed it up... ”Such a big piece of muscle was cut open, and only a tiny bit of skin remained. It's already injured the blood vessels, and if you don't sew it up, you'll lose too much blood …”
The nurse skillfully started the sterilization tools. The long needle was connected to the sterile cotton thread. Her dexterous hand supported the purplish black muscle as she began to sew it up.
Every time the needle was pierced, the muscles on Lin Zhen's face twitched. Every time he pulled on the cotton thread, he broke out in a cold sweat. Lin Zhen endured it and did not make a sound.
Xiang Ying turned around and left the broken house. At this time, Jin Sanshun ran over and said, ”The count is over, we have captured a total of 310 injured people, and there are still 4 doctors and 12 female nurses.”
”Xiang Ying, did you notice that since we rushed into the town, the Frenchmen have been gathering outside for a long time. They were all trying to attack us, so after we fired a few shots, they retreated.”
”These bastards need to be wary of us!” These three hundred plus people are our flesh and blood! ”
What Jin Sanshun said was not wrong. Ever since the sailors took control of this town, the attack intensity of the French army outside had decreased. It seems that they were also afraid of the Chinese harming the injured.
Xiang Ying took out the binoculars and looked around, then nodded: ”Right now Prussian army is fighting very fiercely, it seems like the breakthrough is right in front of us. Let's not blindly charge, let's just wait here and rely on the defense of the town! ”
With more than three hundred French wounded soldiers as prisoners, the sailors quickly moved and set up defensive lines around the town. Some engineers even planted explosives in the buildings at the edge of the town.
Jin Sanshun specially picked a nurse and ripped his white jacket apart, scaring the nurse into thinking that this fatty was a lustful person and wanted to act like a beast.
Jin Sanshun scolded: ”Shut up! I don't like the oceanic horse, but I like the sound of it … ”Take this white flag and go out and tell the French …”
”If they dare to attack, I'll kill the prisoners!”
