The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters
Chapter 39 An unexpected surprise
However, considering that the 261st Brigade and the 37th Brigade had a lot of wounded.
Before parting, Long Fei gave them three hundred boxes of sulfonamides, three hundred injections of anesthetic, and three hundred boxes of penicillin.
Penicillin was the original name for penicillin, and it was not until five years later that penicillin was widely available and became a strategic drug.
This drug saved the lives of countless wounded soldiers on the battlefield because it was safer and more effective than drugs such as sulfonamides.
Meanwhile, in China at the same time, penicillin was extremely scarce, and its price on the black market once reached the point where a single yellow croaker could be exchanged for a single injection.
Chen Defa and Chen Yiding had seen sulfonamides and anesthetics before, but this was the first time they had seen penicillin, which prompted them to ask questions.
"Brother, I've never heard of penicillin before?"
"Yes, Commanders Chen, this medicine is the latest one developed abroad. It is safer, more reliable, and more effective than sulfonamides."
"However, this medicine is currently very rare, so it's normal that you haven't seen it before. Just kidding, this medicine is extremely precious. It's very effective in treating wound infections in wounded soldiers. On the black market, you can exchange a yellow croaker for a single injection, and you still might not be able to buy it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Defa was startled: "Ah... my goodness, one yellow croaker for one needle, brother, you're really generous, giving away several hundred yellow croakers like this."
"I will remember this kindness and repay it in the future."
Chen Defa looked excited and clasped his hands in thanks.
Chen Yiding was also deeply moved. He knew very well that even if they arrived at the field hospital...
Many of these wounded soldiers will eventually die from wound infections due to a lack of medicine.
What Long Fei gave was not just simple money and medicine, but a great favor that could save several hundred of his brothers.
With tears in his eyes, Chen Yiding saluted Long Fei.
"Battalion Commander Long, we are deeply grateful and our 261st Brigade owes you our lives. If you ever need us again, just say the word and we will repay you with our lives."
Chen Defa hurriedly echoed, "Brigade Commander Chen is right. Our 37th Brigade is the same. Brother, if you need our help in the future, we will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation."
Long Fei felt a little embarrassed by the two of them, so he quickly waved his hand and laughed.
“My two brigade commanders, it’s just some medicine, it’s not as serious as you’re making it out to be.”
"Besides, no matter how precious these medicines are, they are not as precious as the lives of our brothers."
"In order to resist the invasion and fight the Japanese, they risked their lives and fought their way out of the hail of bullets and the sea of corpses."
"If it can save their lives, even if these medicines are priceless, I, Long Fei, will not hesitate."
Long Fei's words were sincere and impassioned, moving the officers and soldiers of the two brigades to tears of gratitude.
Before, they simply admired Long Fei and the special operations battalion for their skill in fighting the Japanese.
Now, they truly feel the brotherhood from Long Fei.
This bond, having withstood the test of war, appears so sincere and so precious.
Now, the hearts of these three thousand Nationalist soldiers have been completely conquered by Long Fei.
In addition, considering that they were still some distance from the Nationalist army supply station, Long Fei sent them several thousand boxes of compressed biscuits and canned food to ensure that they would not go hungry along the way.
After saying goodbye, Long Fei put all the equipment, including the Tiger tank, mortar, and machine gun, into the system warehouse to lighten everyone's load.
Then, everyone was told to leave Panlong Town and head west for a while to rest, in case the Japanese got wind of it and sent planes to bomb it.
Shortly after setting off, the system gave a "ding," and Long Fei knew that the reward for this operation had arrived again.
But Long Fei interrupted the system and asked first.
"System, can I specify what I need this time, and you can evaluate it and see if I can be rewarded?"
"Ahem, you always have so many things to say. Tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you if I can."
Long Fei rolled his eyes. Since he needed the system's help this time, he dared not speak rudely.
"I need a lot of ferries, the kind that can carry thousands of people at a time, is that possible?"
"Tch... What do you mean by 'a lot'? Explain it clearly?"
Now it was Long Fei's turn to cough.
"Ahem, a lot means the more the better."
The system was silent for a few seconds before replying.
"You did a good job this time. You not only successfully rescued your friendly troops, but also wiped out two Japanese regiments using fire."
"Therefore, after system evaluation, deducting the previously awarded ferries, you can now be awarded five ferries that can carry one thousand people at a time."
"What...you can only carry five ships, each carrying a thousand people? How is that enough?"
Long Fei calculated that with five ships carrying one thousand people each time, it would take five hundred round trips to transport five hundred thousand people.
The process of getting passengers on and off, plus the round trip, takes at least an hour and a half each time. Even with five ships operating simultaneously, it would take at least six or seven days.
Normally it wouldn't matter, but in an emergency, how could you possibly have six or seven days?
"You have quite the appetite, five ships and you still think it's not enough? How many do you want?"
Long Fei asked cautiously, "Could we do it like last time, with the advance payment deducted next time?"
"Stop rambling on. I'm just asking you how much you want?"
Long Fei was speechless after being rebuked, but he still made his own demands.
"Would twenty ships be enough?"
"No, that's too much advance payment."
Long Fei panicked: "System, I'm going to save lives, hundreds of thousands of people. Do you think five ships are enough?"
Unexpectedly, the system responded calmly.
"First of all, how did you figure out I'm a man and call me 'Big Brother'?"
"I……"
Long Fei was so angry he almost vomited blood. It was just a joke made in the heat of the moment, but the system took it seriously.
"Let me explain to you, I am the administrator of the War God System, my name is Xiaobai, you can call me Xiaobai, or Xiaobaibai, but please don't call me Big Brother."
Long Fei rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Okay, I understand. Little Bai, Little Bai, I really need this to save my life. Can you make an exception?"
"Twenty ships are really not enough; I can only give you eight at most."
Long Fei gritted his teeth, thinking that he needed at least ten ships. If he worked quickly, he could transport 500,000 people within three days.
"Then let's each compromise one more time, ten ships, please. I promise to kill more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers this time, and use that to offset this advance reward."
The system fell silent again, and Long Fei was extremely anxious, fearing that his request would not be granted.
After a long while, the system finally responded: "Alright, since you saved someone, I'll overstep my authority and agree to your request."
"In addition, I'll give you an advance reward: ten BM-13 Katyusha rocket launcher vehicles, each equipped with 320 132mm rockets, enough for you to fire two salvos."
This was an unexpected surprise, and Long Fei laughed heartily and quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, Xiaobai, thank you Xiaobai."
"Don't thank me yet. You'll have to kill 50,000 Japanese soldiers to make up for it. Is that alright?"
With the Katyusha rocket launcher and the existing weapons and equipment, Long Fei was even more confident and readily agreed.
"No problem, I won't let you down, Xiaobai."
