The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 350 It's the Last Day Again (Part 1) [Combined Chapter]

Time often flies by like a gust of wind.

Before we knew it, it had been 30 days since our return; at 3:36 a.m., a new journey was about to begin.

Faced with this situation, the members of the time-traveling team...

Whether they were certain they could participate in the next time travel or were unsure, the members all had different feelings.

As they reacted differently, the journey through time gradually unfolded...

A little after seven in the morning, Xiao Cui, completely disregarding her image, ate her breakfast heartily as she walked into the PLA Eastern Occupation Zone General Hospital in Nanjing. (No typo; the original word might not have been approved.)

Even though this wasn't her first time visiting this hospital.

Upon entering, seeing the dense cluster of signs hanging at the entrance, and the vast area inside, I was still filled with mixed emotions.

This place is huge.

That's right! Xiao Cui finally decided to change jobs, switching from a top-tier hospital in Changzhou to the PLA Eastern Occupation Area General Hospital. She has been working there for over a week now.

The reason that made her decide to change jobs was actually quite simple.

Although the two are currently similar in terms of treatment, the latter has a much higher potential for development.

The predecessor of the PLA Eastern Occupation General Hospital was the National Government Central Hospital, established in 1929, which has a long history and rich heritage.

Today, it is the largest military hospital in the eastern occupied area.

It is also the strongest in terms of strength, with two academicians among its members.

It also undertakes teaching tasks such as postgraduate training and internship supervision for 17 universities including Jinling Medical University, Army Medical University, Navy Medical University, and Southern Medical University.

It has 5 joint doctoral programs and 10 joint master's programs.

However, the most crucial reason that finally made Xiao Cui make up her mind was a phone call from Professor Nie, the head of the emergency department who had specially recruited her.

During the phone call, he said some things that he simply couldn't refuse:

"Young lady, you have a naturally strong heart, you're suited for medical work in special environments like battlefields and disaster sites, it's a shame to keep you in a local hospital..."

"Your medical style and philosophy are not very popular in ordinary hospitals; they seem a bit too wild."

But it's not a big deal at our military hospital; on the contrary, it's an advantage. They'll have even greater opportunities here.

Our philosophy is that only when a person is alive are they entitled to have their wounds infected.

When conditions are limited, we often resort to some rather unusual methods.

For example, if there is bleeding from a large artery in a cross-section, pull out the large artery and tie a knot to stop the bleeding; if there is no time to suture the wound, use 502 glue to directly stick the wound to stop the bleeding.

If chest compressions are ineffective during CPR, reach into the chest cavity and squeeze the heart directly with your hands.

The main focus is on keeping people alive first, then we can talk about other things; I think you, young lady, must be quite tempted by this approach.”

And believe it or not! After hearing about the above crazy operation, Xiao Cui's eyes lit up instantly.

Putting aside everything else, these time travelers have the ability to perfectly recover as soon as they return, as long as they have a breath left before returning.

The above-mentioned tricks couldn't be more suitable.

So Xiao Cui was convinced on the spot, and in the following time, Director Nie made some pretty good promises.

If Xiao Cui intends to continue working as a nurse after she goes there, she will first be transferred to the emergency department operating room as a surgical nurse, and then we will prepare to train her to become a head nurse.

If she wants to pursue a career as a doctor, that's fine too! Let her take the medical licensing exam first, then become a resident physician in the emergency department, and then continue to develop step by step.

Throughout this gradual anti-war process, Professor Nie was able to provide assistance with all aspects of learning, interpersonal relationships, and procedures.

In short, Professor Nie has genuinely taken a liking to Xiao Cui's talent and is planning to take her on as a student and mentor her...

And so, Xiao Cui became a special nurse in the operating room of the emergency department of the PLA Eastern Occupation General Hospital; now, after only a little over a week on the job, she has already become a prominent figure in the emergency department.

Look! Just as we arrived at the nurses' station, a seriously injured car accident victim, covered in blood, was brought in.

The on-duty doctor only needed to examine the patient briefly before making a decision that surgery had to be performed immediately.

Xiao Cui immediately followed him into the operating room, where a surgery lasting more than four hours ensued.

After the surgery, only the anesthesiologist, who had been sitting on a stool the whole time, fared better.

The other doctors and nurses involved felt completely exhausted. They ate a couple of bites of their takeout lunch and felt they couldn't eat anymore.

However, thanks to her improved physical fitness and regular exercise, Xiao Cui still looks full of energy.

She devoured the lunch for two in one go.

He wiped his mouth and immediately knocked on Professor Nie's office door, receiving permission to "come in."

The first thing I did upon entering was to hand Professor Nie, who was working, a cup of ginseng milk tea that I had specially ordered, with a straw inserted.

Only after the other party took it did he ask with a playful smile:
"Master! I'm quite interested in performing CPR by squeezing the heart with your hands. Could you tell me how to train for it and what precautions to take during the procedure?"

Upon hearing the title 'Master', Professor Nie was both amused and exasperated.

If any other student called him that, he would definitely give them a good scolding: What era are we living in that people still call themselves "master"? He's not a driver.

But Xiao Cui is not only a pretty girl, but she also speaks nicely and knows how to get along with people.

I never used to drink milk tea, but this girl bought it for me every day, and after drinking it for a while, I actually found that it tasted pretty good.

However, the most crucial point is that although Xiao Cui's learning ability is not very good.

However, their mental and physical qualities are too good, and they are not afraid of hardship at all.

Just kidding! Any ordinary person from the modern world who spends a few months living in the remote mountain villages of northwestern Shanxi in 1939 would probably not have any problem with being afraid of hardship after they come back.

The points mentioned above are even more important than academic talent; it can be said that she was born to be a military doctor.

Therefore, despite Xiao Cui's short time here, Professor Nie's impression of this girl has grown increasingly good, and he is even considering taking her as a disciple rather than just an ordinary student.

Faced with Xiao Cui's request, he first deliberately put on a stern face and earnestly instructed her:
"Remember this! Unless under extreme conditions, you must not use such risky methods."

Only after Xiao Cui nodded solemnly did he begin to give serious instructions.

This allowed Hu Biao and his team of time travelers to grow quite rapidly under his guidance, especially since he was a novice military doctor.

An hour later, Xiao Cui emerged from Professor Nie's office with a sense of accomplishment, her face beaming with indescribable excitement.

After all, not just anyone can receive such extensive private instruction from a master like Professor Nie, who specializes in battlefield first aid.

The price? It's just a cup of milk tea.

Facing the prospect of another journey more than ten hours later, Xiao Cui prepared a complete set of simple surgical instruments in advance, just in case someone on the team got injured and needed surgery.

Although her skills are so mediocre that she could barely be considered a surgeon, there's an over 80% chance the surgery will fail and the patient will die on the operating table.

But then again, doesn't that still have a 20% success rate?
In addition, in order to train a doctor to belong to the time traveler team.

After learning about the situation, Hu Biao also mentioned that Xiao Cui often treated her colleagues to milk tea and meals in order to build relationships, and the team would reimburse all of these expenses.

Anyway, they set aside 307 million yuan for procurement this time, and now that the procurement is almost complete, they still have more than half left.

Unfortunately, when Xiao Cui reached the nurses' station and saw a familiar figure, all her good mood vanished.

There stood a former colleague, Dr. Qin, who had asked her to go shopping. He was holding a huge bunch of roses and carrying a paper bag with the 'Chanel' logo, standing there like a wooden stake.

Upon seeing her, he said with deep affection, "Xiao Cui, I've come to see you."

"Dr. Qin, what exactly do you like about me? Should I change careers?" Xiao Cui asked helplessly...

*****
Twenty minutes later, the location changed to Brazil in the Western Hemisphere, in the São Paulo area, at a shooting club run by Chinese people.

After looking at a target, I saw a score of one eight-ring, two nine-rings, and seven ten-rings.

The shooting range owner, a man in his forties whose ancestral home was in Fujian Province, couldn't help but give Lu Diaoying, the warehouse manager in the transmigrator team, a thumbs up.

He exclaimed in amazement, "Old Lu, your marksmanship is getting better and better!"

At 200 meters, without a sniper scope, and with rapid fire, you still managed to achieve such a result? You're practically invincible!

"But you're coming almost every day, firing at least a hundred rounds each time. Are you planning to give up on this? Be careful you don't end up with no pay to hand over and get yelled at by your wife when you get back home."

Faced with such teasing, the warehouse manager looked quite helpless.

He replied, "Just kidding! I have a very high status in my family, and I never have to hand over my salary."

"Enough talk. I'm off work tomorrow. Give me another 50 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. We're going to be firing all night."

"Why don't you try a different gun? Even if you're not used to foreign guns, I have Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and Type 81 rifles here, which are much better than your old Springfield M1903 rifle."

Upon hearing this, the boss offered another explanation.

The warehouse manager didn't speak, but shook his head to refuse the other party's suggestion.

The claim that wages never need to be handed over is obviously just the warehouse manager bragging; the reason he's so extravagant is that he comes to the shooting range almost every day lately.

One reason is that everything is expensive in São Paulo.

However, the bullets at the shooting range are practically dirt cheap compared to those in China.

9毫米的手枪弹一发只要1.5元，5.56毫米口径子弹只要2.2元，7.62毫米口径的全威力弹只要3元；而且以上的价钱，还是用我国的软妹币来计算。

The cost of a mere five or six hundred dollars, if placed in the modern world, would often be used up before one has even had a chance to satisfy their desires.

In this context, it means at least a hundred bullets; if you fire them all, the recoil can make your shoulders and arms hurt, or even swell up.

After receiving the 50 yuan, the warehouse manager was initially worried that he might lose the money for various reasons, but nothing has happened so far, so he can finally put his mind at ease.

With just that amount of money, he can keep going for several years with bullets that cost 3 yuan each. What is there to worry about?

The only thing that disappointed him was that he had visited several shooting ranges around São Paulo during this period, but found that none of them had 6.5mm caliber bullets or rifles from the Japanese World War II era.

Left with no other choice, they had to make do with the Springfield M1903 rifle, an old-fashioned bolt-action rifle used by soldiers during World War II.

On the other hand, the warehouse manager has recently developed a strong sense of crisis.

That is, during the last time travel, the two veterans, AT and Chaozi, who had died in battle, actually gained the qualification to travel again and appeared in the Shanxi-Northwest region to fight the Japanese.

So the key issue lies in the upcoming new time travel.

Uncle Bo, the team's former number one sniper, might very well rejoin the team.

The addition of such a powerful partner during this new journey will greatly enhance the team's combat effectiveness, which naturally fills the warehouse manager with surprise and anticipation.

However, in comparison, since everyone is in the same position as a team sniper, it would be very embarrassing if I performed poorly.

So, the warehouse manager is secretly holding back, preparing to give Uncle Bo a good show of defiance...

What's quite amazing is that at the same time, Uncle Bo, who was also in the Western Hemisphere and being worried about by the warehouse manager, was also not asleep.

Even in her heart, she harbored some thoughts about what would happen if she could travel through time this time.

They were eager to put their skills to the test against the warehouse manager, this new sniper.

More accurately, ever since Super and AT, two veterans, regained their right to time travel, all the veterans who had died in the process of time travel were tempted.

Everyone has something they miss after time travel.

For example, Black Star, a member nicknamed "Big Dumb Guy".

He was thinking about how well his team was doing in that world, and how they were now able to manufacture equipment like rocket launchers and mortars; although he had played with these kinds of equipment in the modern world, he hadn't had enough of them.

If I could carry a rocket launcher to bombard Japanese tanks and use a mortar to blast Japanese infantry, wouldn't that be incredibly awesome?

Huang Adi, a member nicknamed "Big Fatty".

What he's thinking about now is how he managed to become a battalion commander and hold the rank of major when he transmigrated.

But how many people does he have under his command? In many cases, he's just a lone commander.

There was no one like the subsequent group of time travelers, especially the most recent ones, who were so impressive. They had gathered tens of thousands of people under their command in Shanxi.

With strong and well-equipped troops, they were all addressed as Chief of Staff, Commander-in-Chief, and Division Commander.

Even if these titles are just empty names, people live for face and appearances in this world, and Huang Adi also wanted to have some fun.

Mo Shuiyan, the member nicknamed "Crippled Dead," was preoccupied with the issue of equipment manufacturing for the base.

Just kidding! I'm an expert in manufacturing all the small arms from World War II to the Cold War.

When he traveled through time before, he was simply out of ideas and had no opportunity to make a name for himself.

Now that the base has been established, I wish I could go there myself.

If their Northern Jiangsu Independent Regiment, and even the equipment and strength of our Party, can't be improved through hard work, then Mo Shuiyan might as well hang himself on a crooked tree.

Others like Xu Feng, Chen Tang, and Huang Yizhi also had their own thoughts.

So, when the next journey was about to begin, just over ten hours away...

Even though Uncle Bo was in Los Angeles, North America, at 2 a.m. due to the time difference, he was still wide awake.

Unable to sleep, he went straight to the garage and gave his newly acquired treasure a thorough cleaning: a Mauser 98K sniper rifle.

This is something he went through a lot of trouble to acquire.

It's at least 80-90% new, meaning it's just been broken in to its best condition.

Crucially, it also comes with a 6x scope made by the German Zeiss. The optical capabilities of the Germans during World War II were top-notch, so when using this 6x scope, the effective range of this sniper rifle reached an astonishing 1,000 meters.

At a distance of one kilometer, the air will be affected by many factors, including gravity, wind direction and speed, air pressure and humidity.

Even the best sniper can't hit the bullseye every time.

A 50% hit rate is already quite remarkable.

Even so, such a long distance was enough to kill many unsuspecting Japanese officers, machine gunners, and artillerymen, among other important targets.

Finally, using a much gentler touch than when caressing a girl, he completed a maintenance session for the gun.

Uncle Bo muttered in a voice only he could hear, "The number one sniper of the Northern Jiangsu Independent Regiment can only be me, Uncle Bo."

The psychology of the warehouse manager and Uncle Bo can only be described as the unexpectedly strong competitive spirit among men.

Fortunately, this kind of competitive spirit and healthy rivalry was something Hu Biao and his team welcomed...
