Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 104 Entering the Battlefield
The scene froze for a moment, and the wounded soldiers in the hall stared at the officer blankly, not knowing what they were feeling.

Head nurse Sophie was indeed a cold-faced stone, and she reached out her hand to push the officer's gun away without fear, and still said coldly: "This is not a place for you to run wild. If you don't have the application certificate, please take your people and leave immediately. "

The officer suddenly stopped. He sneered. No longer caring about the polite procedures, he pushed the head nurse Li Sophie away and strode towards a nurse in the center of the hall.

The nurse on duty was so frightened that she was stunned by the officer. She was grabbed by the arm and dragged away without any reaction.

Head nurse Sophie got up from the ground, threw herself over again, and shouted loudly: "Let her go! Do you know what you are doing now? You are an officer, and it is against the law to hijack medical staff. I will definitely let you accept it." Trial by court martial!”

"Go ahead and file a complaint. Go to the colonel and count my crimes." The officer sneered: "Let him see what happened to our SS team, how many people died fighting for the country, how many people were killed by damn Ivan After being shot, how many people are now buried alive under the rubble, and we still haven’t received any treatment.”

His voice was sonorous and tragic, and anger was no longer enough to express his mood. There was a hail of gunfire and bullets, and people crawled out of the sea of ​​volcanic blood. Everyone was injured, and every soldier could understand the unspeakable pain.Several soldiers could not help but cover their faces.

Head nurse Sophie persisted and continued to persuade him: "Let her go quickly. A rescue plane will send your soldiers over. Here they can get more comprehensive treatment. What's the use of just taking her there? She can save her." Not that many people."

Originally, she just wanted the officer to calm down and not be so impulsive, but who would have thought that these words hit the officer's back all of a sudden, and doubled his pain.

"Shut up!" He raised his head angrily and roared. He fired a gun at the ceiling with a "bang", and then in everyone's horrified eyes, the muzzle of the gun that still smelled of gunpowder was pointed at Head nurse Sophie said: "What do you know? Planes? Ha, I can't see anything there except bombers. Who will save us? There are only Stukas above my head, only Ivan's black death. Where did it come from?" Rescue plane! By the time someone gets you here, they're all dead, dead!"

The officer's emotions were completely out of control. His hoarse roar and the sound of gunshots also woke up the nurse he was holding.

It was already a very dangerous thing in the Soviet Union. They all came here for medical assistance through the Red Cross, but the rear area is the rear area after all, and their status as neutral members will be protected by everyone here.But once you get to the battlefield and go to the front line, who will remember, who will care whether you are a member of the Red Cross or not, you will die or not.

The nurse was trembling with fear. She kept leaning back and said tremblingly: "Sir, sir, I'm not a doctor, I'm just a nurse..."

"To shut up!"

The nurse froze immediately, tears streaming down her face, and kept choking: "Sir, sir, I'm just a nurse on duty. I don't know anything... You, you should find a doctor..." As she said this, She actually stretched out her hand tremblingly and slowly pointed in the direction where Rosia was standing: "She, she is the doctor..."

Head Nurse Sophie's eyes froze, and she shouted sharply, "Jenny!"

But it was too late, the officer's sharp gaze suddenly shot over and pinned Rosia in place as she was preparing to leave with the medical kit.

She was wearing a doctor's white coat, but she was not obvious among the nurses at first glance. If she kept a low profile, others would not notice her.After the officer fired the gun, she had already picked up the suitcase and prepared to leave, but she never expected that the nurse named Jenny would push her out in this situation.

The officer left Jenny to a non-commissioned officer behind him, strode over with a sneer, grabbed Rosia's arm, and dragged her outside without mercy.

"No, let go!" Head nurse Sophie chased after her, grabbed Rosia's other arm, and said loudly: "You can't take her away. She is a very important doctor in the hospital. If she leaves, there will be people here." More soldiers die, do you want that?"

Rosia was swaying as she was pushed between the two of them. She just barely managed to stand up straight when she felt something cold pressed against her temple.This familiar touch suddenly made her nerves tense, and her whole body immediately tensed up and froze in place.

The officer pointed his gun at her and sneered at the head nurse Sophie in front of him: "Let go, or she will die!"

"You're crazy!" Head Nurse Sophie stared at him in disbelief: "She is a medical staff, you can't survive if you kill her, let go quickly, and leave as soon as possible before Colonel Pierre knows about it."

The officer had reached this point and was already determined. He was no longer willing to engage in unnecessary arguments. He made a gesture to the soldiers behind him, pulled Rosia and walked out.

The two soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and took away the other two nurses in the hall.

"You lunatic!" Rosia heard the hysterical shouting of head nurse Sophie: "I must take you to court-martial!"

But the officer no longer paid attention. He strode along with the people, and the nurses behind him were also "held hostage". They walked quickly and stuffed them into two jeeps.

Rosia was thrown into the passenger seat by the officer, and another soldier took Jenny, who was still crying, to the back seat.As soon as the officers came up, they immediately stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out like crazy.

The wind roared in my ears and hit my forehead like a knife.Rosia glanced sideways at the officer, then silently reached out and closed the window.

The officer saw her action, sneered again, and continued driving.

Jenny kept crying behind her, and Rosia didn't want to look at her. Seeing that there was no other way now, she simply closed her eyes and lay down to sleep.

The car drove wildly, bumping all the way, like walking on a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire. When Rosia opened her eyes again, she had arrived at a ruined place. Everything she could see was destroyed, and nothing was intact.All roads that can be taken are lined with abandoned weapons and corpses, and there is smoke and flames of war everywhere.The broken walls and ruins that could be seen were all covered with charred burn marks and dark red gloomy blood.

Rosia was completely stunned. She thought that the officer's men had at least been moved to a safer place, but she did not expect to be in such a situation, such a tragic situation.Her heart, which she had tried to calm down before, began to roar again.

If she had known this was the case, she would have gotten off even if she had jumped out of the car!
Unexpectedly, the car hadn't stopped yet, and the officer's expression had become increasingly grim as the position deepened.The pain on his face could almost hurt people's eyes, making Rosia think of Werner again in a daze.

Werner, if someone had rescued him when he was injured on the battlefield, would he not have died?
She was in a state of confusion, and for a moment she couldn't tell what she was feeling.When I regained consciousness, I felt that the car had entered a huge industrial area, filled with various factories burning with gunpowder smoke.The gray dilapidated building looked crumbling. Under the polluted gray sky, it looked like an evil monster with its mouth open, waiting for people to enter.

Rosia couldn't help but shiver. She remembered that the officer said that his men were buried in a workshop, so this is it?
Before she could further accept the reality, the fast-moving car suddenly bumped violently up and down. Rosia was caught off guard and hit the platform in front of her.At this time, she was dizzy when she heard the officer curse angrily: "Damn, these bastards."

Before she finished speaking, the car had already made a sharp turn, and Rosia was caught off guard and hit the car door again. Her vision was blurry, and the severe pain almost made her unable to see.

At this time, machine gunfire rang outside the car. It came from a distance, but it quickly approached the eardrum. Rosia was dizzy and couldn't even say a word. Just as she was about to raise her head, she was pressed down by the officer next to her. After falling down, he shouted loudly: "Be careful behind you!"

A bullet flew through the front window, and there was a "crack" sound as the glass shattered. The bullet had already broken through the air and entered.Rosia's head was pressed, and it felt like the bullet passed by her forehead.At the critical moment, her heart was already in her throat. After a muffled sound, the bullet shot into the chair behind her.

Still in shock, there was already a hail of bullets outside the car, and various gunshots rang out in the quiet industrial area, one after another.The car made a sharp turn again, and the bullet from the front hit the side door "bang bang bang". Suddenly there was another smashing sound, the rear window glass was broken, and a strange sound of piercing flesh was heard in the car. Ringed.

"Asshole!" the officer cursed again.

At this time, Rosia was so frightened by the sound that she didn't dare to move. For a while, her ears caught the sound in the car amidst the sound of gunshots. What she heard was weak and rapid, like pulling a gun. A sound like a bellows.

She turned her head around in disbelief and saw Jenny, whose chest was full of blood. She was breathing violently and painfully, her chest was rising and falling, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her eyes were half-closed.

She shouted in horror: "Jenny!"

Jenny reluctantly opened her eyes. The soldier next to her turned around and was shocked when he saw her current appearance. He was about to speak when his body suddenly stopped and his eyes widened.In Rosia's horrified eyes, a mouthful of blood spit out from her mouth and splashed on Jenny's white nurse uniform.

The officer looked at the rearview mirror and yelled a name angrily. The soldier turned his head stiffly, only halfway, then couldn't hold on and fell on the seat. His eyes were still staring, and the gun in his hand had slipped to the ground. .

The car was spinning rapidly, and Jenny was on the verge of falling. She only uttered a few broken syllables, then she tilted her head and fell on the soldier.

"Ah——" Rosia couldn't help screaming, raising her hands to cover her ears.Seeing two people die in front of you is another, more crushing fear.She could no longer bear such a scene, and she once again entered a different hell.

There was another burst of gunfire outside, and Rosia felt that her left side suddenly sank. The car made a harsh friction sound. The officer's fist hit the steering wheel hard, and the car slumped forward and stopped.

The car's tires were hit.

Rosia was so shocked that she didn't even dare to raise her head.The officer next to him gritted his teeth, pulled it from behind, took out a white flag, and waved it at the car window.

"Temporary truce!" He pushed open the car door, slowly revealed his head, then slowly stepped out with one foot, and raised the other hand that was not holding the flag. The whole movement was stiff and cautious.

"Temporary truce, okay?" He shouted again, in a consultative tone: "Our snipers are also targeting you, let's have a truce, our soldiers should be treated by medical staff."

Not knowing what was happening outside, Rosia just held her head and stared at the ruins outside. After a while, she heard the officer shout: "Come out."

Rosia also put down his hand slowly, and looked around in panic. On the tall and dilapidated upstairs, in the dark windows, there were invisible guns hidden, deadly at any time.She moved her legs, took the medicine box underneath, and walked out slowly.

It was a scary sight in the car, but when I got out, I realized it was even scarier outside.What was happening in front of me was completely beyond words, and no words could describe its horror.The smell of death is everywhere, and the air is suffocating and filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

Moving slowly, step by step forward, the officer held her sleeve with one hand and held a white flag with the other.Rosia wanted to stop moving forward. She already felt that there were guns pointing at them from all sides upstairs. It was this unspeakable fear that made her pores stand up.

Jenny was dead before she even reached her destination, and the other two nurses had already gotten out of the car and were following them from a distance, moving bit by bit.

I don’t know what kind of agreement the Soviet and German armies reached. They were walking on the road, but no one fired.Maybe this was an inexplicable tacit understanding, maybe they were playing for too long, were too tired, and both wanted to take a break.

They didn't go far, but it felt like they had walked for a long time. They finally saw the German army's position. She knew this because she saw a swastika flag on a factory, indicating that the area was occupied by the German army.

They were almost there, but Rosia's heart started to pick up again. Her mind was now surprisingly chaotic, and all kinds of thoughts were tangled up like twine. She couldn't figure out how she got to this point. It was like fate. God always had a hard time with her. From the first day she came into this world, her life had not gone smoothly.

Rosia stepped on the gravel mounds and various obstacles on the ground, staggering forward.Just as he was about to enter the huge factory, he didn't expect that a bullet flew out of a window and hit a window on the opposite building. There was a loud "bang" and a sniper on the opposite side was shot. Suddenly, the broken glass on the window fell down.

The war was about to break out, almost instantly. Both sides opened fire again, and the smoke filled the air.

The officer's expression instantly became extremely angry, but he had no time to be angry. He directly grabbed Rosia's arm, bent over and ran to an entrance, breaking in.The man inside immediately pointed his gun at them, but when he realized it was one of his own, he put down the gun again.

Rosia had already lost her strength and was almost dragged in.As soon as she entered the room, she was choked by the strong smell of gunpowder smoke and coughed, and the huge dust made her breathless.

Behind him, the two nurses and soldiers also came in, but one of the soldiers was hit in the thigh and fell to the ground as soon as he came in.

There were about twenty soldiers in the room, each with a gray face, looking at them.The officer suddenly took off a gun from his waist, pointed it at the group of soldiers, and shouted: "Who, who shot just now?"

No one answered.

The officer rushed forward and pointed at someone: "Is it you? Damn it, can't you see me or the doctor outside?"

"Sorry, sir!" The soldier immediately straightened up and said, "I was not the one who fired the shot."

"Who is that?" the officer yelled: "The flag of truce has been raised, but you still dare to open fire. Do you think you have not killed enough people? Or do you also want to be like those damn Ivans who break your promises?"

Everyone was silent and lowered their heads. Rosia and the two nurses stood obediently behind. After a while, when the officer had finished scolding him enough, he heard a cry: "The medical staff come here and check his injuries." .”

The two nurses took two steps back without showing any signs of expression. Seeing this, Rosia had no choice but to step forward.

Her medicine cabinet is full of medicines, with a wide variety of medicines, almost more types than those stored in the hospital.But she knew that she had always been unlucky. In a place like the Soviet Union, she was likely to die. The reserve of medicine must be the most important thing.To be on the safe side, she also has a compartment in her medicine kit that contains very small amounts of antibiotics.

This kind of antibiotic cannot be regarded as penicillin, but its efficacy is not much worse than that of penicillin. It was cultivated and "played" by her and the old doctors in the pharmaceutical department when she was in the Paris hospital.Thinking about it now, the real penicillin may have been released, but it has not yet been popularized in the world. The basic drugs currently used on the battlefield are still sulfa, diazepam, and morphine.

Women's body resistance is weak. Not to mention being on the front line now, it is very dangerous to come into contact with the wounded every day in the hospital. She must give herself more protection and protection.But at present, it seems that God is really against her, and her little life is no longer enough to play with.

Rosia took a deep breath to relieve her anxiety and nervousness, walked up to the soldier, squatted down, and rolled up his trousers.

A hideous black and red wound appeared in front of her eyes. It looked terrifying, but after all, she had been a doctor for so many years, and she was used to gunshot wounds.

She took out a knife from the medicine kit, briefly sterilized it, and started digging.

"Ah, ah——" the soldier immediately screamed, piercing his heart.

The officer suddenly grabbed her arm and frowned: "Is there no anesthesia? Why not give him anesthesia?"

Rosia raised her head expressionlessly: "Did you give me time to install that thing in the hospital?"

Most of her medicine kit was filled with life-saving drugs, except for a very small amount of morphine, which she had to keep for herself, which was selfish.

When the other party dragged her into this hell regardless of her life, she never thought about putting other people's lives above her own.
