Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 375 - 375 375 Injured

?Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Injured Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Injured The enemy’s artillery attack was too severe.

An Zhiyuan had already ordered everyone to retreat to the Karst Cave.

Only two sentries were left behind to observe the enemy situation. Orders were given via walkie-talkies, and all comrades began searching for cover and the Karst Cave.

After all, on such mountains, the Karst Caves were solid and reliable.

Even heavy weapons couldn’t destroy them.

If everything went as expected, after this round of firepower, our artillery should have struck back.

We always had to suppress the enemy’s morale.

An Zhiyuan had already entered the Karst Cave with his men, checking for casualties. Through the statistics reported over the walkie-talkies, twelve had been sacrificed and twenty-eight had been injured just this morning.

Li Gaoshan was the most seriously injured; his intestines had spilled out, a sight too horrific to bear. He was barely hanging on by a breath. His leg had been blown off; even the bone was exposed, and the other injured needed varying degrees of medical treatment.

An Zhiyuan ordered those who were not injured or only slightly injured to hold the position. He took a telescope and looked towards the enemy positions from the Karst Cave, but before he could make out anything clearly, a shell exploded in front of him and the blast hurled him down into the cave. Thankfully, the comrades below caught him. Still, a shrapnel pierced his head, clearly lodged above An Zhiyuan’s eyebrow. Had it been a fraction off, his eye would have been done for.

Blood was streaming profusely; all the soldiers were taken aback.

Jian Dahai and his group were at a higher elevation, not the main target of the artillery, so they suffered few casualties. Bai Xiao and Liu Yun had already quickly bandaged the wounded. They had suppressed the enemy’s fire and repelled their third wave of fierce attacks.

The sound of artillery suddenly quieted down.

Nor could they see the advancing enemy, as if they had vanished into thin air.

Jian Dahai and the others looked at each other as a voice came through the walkie-talkie, “Jian Dahai, Jian Dahai, is the medic there with you?”

“Yes, the medic is safe and sound.”

That wasn’t the voice of the captain.

“The captain is injured, quickly send the medic over. Hurry!” the person on the other side shouted urgently.

Upon hearing this, Jian Dahai grew anxious. The captain and these brothers had been through life and death together. The captain could have stayed at this best high ground, yet he chose to be on the front lines due to his reluctance to see any of them harmed.

Now that the captain was injured and couldn’t even use the walkie-talkie, one could imagine how severe the situation was.

Jian Dahai immediately ran into the Karst Cave.

“Doctor Bai, Doctor Liu, I’ll have someone escort you to the cave below, through the trenches. Our captain is injured; you must save him!” He was the squad leader and couldn’t simply leave his post. This location needed him to hold it.

Bai Xiao immediately stood up, “Captain An is injured? How severe?” His eyes were already filled with urgency as he picked up his medical kit, wishing he could fly there right now.

Four soldiers were escorting the two of them through countless trenches and slopes below; their high ground to where An Zhiyuan was located was almost like crossing half a mountain range.

No wonder the battle line was stretched so long, such a length indeed exhausted the troops.

It was quite strange, the enemy’s artillery seemed to have cleared a path for them. Just now, it was like a rain of shells, but now it was eerily quiet. The feared enemy attacks and casualties almost didn’t happen; it took the six people about fifteen minutes to finally reach the Karst Cave where An Zhiyuan was located. The uninjured soldiers had already entered trenches and strongholds for defense, and Bai Xiao and the others entered the Karst Cave! This place was a temporary hospital for the wounded.

Bai Xiao immediately saw An Zhiyuan lying on a stretcher, bleeding profusely.
