In the ruins of the clinic shrouded in dust, all kinds of garbage were carried behind them bit by bit by Wei Ran and others in a relay manner, and the restroom at the front gradually revealed its original outline.
Finally, when the bathtub filled with clothes was completely dug out, both Dr. Lodge and the little nurse who had been wearing a mask breathed a sigh of relief.
Bending down to hold up a door panel to block the view behind him, Father Hans looked at Dr. Lodge seriously, "Aren't you going to explain it?"
Hearing this, Luo Qi Doctor Qi calmly wiped the dust on his white coat and said in a low voice, "I just hide a few friends."
"Jewish friends?" Father Hans asked with a frown. .
Dr. Rocky glanced at Wei Ran, who was using his body to help cover the outside view, nodded imperceptibly, and then worked with the nurse to lift the bathtub.
A faint light leaked from under the bathtub. Dr. Lodge knelt on the dirty floor, stuck most of his head in and asked, "Is everyone okay?"
< p>"It's okay, everyone is okay." A pleasant female voice came from inside, "What happened up there?""It's nothing, it's just that the clinic was hit by a shell." Dr. Lodge He replied calmly, "Since it's okay, please keep quiet down below."
"Okay"
After hearing the reply inside, Dr. Lodge then He stepped back, then lifted the bathtub and kicked away the bricks that had just been inserted into the gap. As the bathtub rejoined the dirty floor, the faint light was completely covered up.
"Okay, let's find some food and use and go out."
Dad Hans reminded, "If you are empty-handed, even an idiot will know what's going on." There is a problem, especially when there are so many young people with shit in their heads lying outside."
"Let's see if there are any surviving wounded"
Doctor Lodge. After saying that, he motioned for everyone to take a few steps back. After Hans' father half-blocked the bathroom door with the door panel in his hand, he climbed out of the ruins with difficulty, walked around to the other side of the clinic, and tried his best to find survivors. .
With the efforts of four people, an injured old man was dug out from the collapsed ruins and transported to the open space outside the ruins with difficulty.
After roughly checking the old man's physical condition and confirming that he was fine, Dr. Lodge walked to the boxes stacked against the wall outside and found three boxes covered with gray paint. and Red Cross metal boxes, and distribute two of them to Wei Ran and Father Hans.
"This seems to be a medical first aid kit only used in field hospitals?"
Dad Hans opened the box in surprise, "Marco's aunt is really generous. I am in the Youth League I was only given a medical backpack when I entered it."
Hearing this, Wei Ran also curiously opened the metal box he got. It was full of stuff.In addition to various medical devices, there are also various drugs such as tetanus, penicillin, antibiotics, sulfonamide packs and even Ma Fei.
"Mario, come here, let me help you sew your butt!" Wei Ran said to the little guy who was still crying in Marco's arms.
It would have been better if he didn't say anything. When he opened his mouth, Mario was immediately frightened to the point where he didn't even dare to cry. His dirty little face was shaking crazily from side to side to express resistance.
"I'll do it," Dr. Lodge said helplessly, "Victor, your sewing is too...forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Love Do you need it?"
Wei Ran closed the metal box angrily, and while Dr. Rocky was sewing Mario's butt, he said, "The clinic is gone, we may have to move to another place."
p>"Cannot be exchanged"
It was Father Hans who refused this time. "These supplies sent by Marco's aunt are too precious. It depends on us to evacuate the wounded." It's a big trouble, not to mention those medicines? Without medicines and supplies, these wounded people won't be able to survive for long."
"Then..."
Wei Ran was about to say. But Father Hans turned around and walked into the ruins of the clinic again, took out two white sheets from inside, and used the remaining blood from a corpse to draw a conspicuous cross on one of them. Then he handed it to Wei Ran, "Insert it into the ruins at the entrance of the alley. I hope the Soviets are not blind. If necessary, we will raise the white flag."
Wei Ran opened his mouth and stood up to take it. He walked a few steps toward the entrance of the alley with the red cross flag, climbed up the ruins, tied it to a door panel that had fallen off from nowhere, and erected it in the most conspicuous position.
When he came back, the wound on Mario's butt had been stitched up, and he was lying naked on a wooden box, waiting for his brother Marco to pick up his clothes from the rubble. Find out.
"Hans, Victor, come here."
After Dr. Lodge waited for Wei Ran to come back, he immediately greeted them and walked to the back of the ruins away from the wounded.
"What's wrong?" Father Hans took the cigarette offered by the other party, lit it, and asked while puffing away.
Seeing that Wei Ran refused the cigarette he handed over, Dr. Lodge directly stuffed it into his mouth, lit it, took a deep breath, and then explained in a low voice amidst the rumbling gunfire. , "Those wounded must be moved away, especially those injured German soldiers."
"Because of the bathroom?" Wei Ran asked thoughtfully, and Hans, who was originally going to ask the same question Dad put the cigarette back into his mouth.
Dr. Lodge nodded, "I'm afraid even the head of state knows about this war. It will only be a matter of time before Berlin is captured by the Soviets. But after the war is over, no one can know about the bathroom, otherwise we will ..."
"How many people are there down there?" Father Hans asked abruptly.
Dr. Lodge was startled, "Nine and MaliThere were children about the same age as Austria, and six Jewish women. "
"So many? ! "Dad Hans lowered his voice and looked at Dr. Lodge seriously, "How long have they been here? "
"The first two children have been hiding under the bathtub for four years. Their mother or father used to be employees or patients of this dental clinic.
Doctor Lodge turned around and looked expectantly at the battlefield at the end of the alley. He said in a tired tone, "Hans, I have been persisting for four years. I only need to persist for at most one month." , No, maybe the war will be over in just half a month. If they..."
"Needless to say"
Dad Hans looked at it Looking around, after thinking for a moment, he calculated, "On the right side of the alley, close to the Moltke Bridge, is the Ministry of Interior building, and behind it is the Kroll Opera House. They must be key targets for the Soviets, so if they want to evacuate the wounded outside, , it is best to find a sufficient room on the left side of the alley. "
"And not too far away." Dr. Lodge looked at the remaining buildings on the left side of the alley, trying to find a place for the wounded.
"We will definitely send the wounded today. Come here, why not let them think of a solution. "Wei Ran, who only asked a question at the beginning, stood up and said.
"That's all we can do." Father Hans put out his cigarette butt, "Now I just hope there won't be too many injured today. "
"I hope so." Dr. Lodge walked towards the open space not far away. "Before they come, at least set up the operating table with what you can find!" ”
By the time the three of them walked back to the clearing, Marco had already helped his brother put on the overalls and sweater he found from the ruins, but the buttocks of the pants had been covered by the little boy. The nurse cut out a piece of the boss's skylight, exposing half of his buttocks covered with gauze.
Mario, who was still lying on the box, finally stopped crying at this time, but he was still stubborn. He was clutching the Youth League knife that originally belonged to his brother, his little face turned red.
On the other hand, his brother Marco, after learning that the clinic would continue to be "open", He immediately walked towards the pile of supply boxes and said, "I remember seeing a pack of tents when I was sorting these boxes yesterday, and asked me to look for them...it's here!" "
Before he finished speaking, Marco had already picked up a huge canvas bag with a red cross printed on it from the corner.
"Put it up quickly! " Dr. Lodge, who was pulling the hospital bed out of the ruins with the nurse, shouted in surprise.
Referring to the mimeographed installation instructions on the canvas bag, Wei Ran and Marco placed the bed, which was enough to hold four beds. The bed tent was set up in the middle of the open space as quickly as possible, and then everyone saw the red cross signs printed around the tent and on the top of the two slopes.
"It should have been set up long ago. This tent, with it, maybe even the planes overhead will avoid us. "Dr. Lodge said happily.
"The premise is that the Soviets stillOnly when there is a bottom line. "Dad Hans said noncommittally.
"You should first ask those German soldiers who burned, killed and looted in other countries..." Wei Ran muttered to himself and bent down to pick up a box from a box. They took out two kerosene gas lamps and sent them into the tent.
Almost at the same time as they made preparations in a hurry, four German soldiers came over carrying two wounded people on stretchers.
Wei Ranjian inspected the two wounded men, pointed at one of them and said, "Send this one to the tent, and find a place to bury the other one. He has expired. "
The two young soldiers carrying the body had panic expressions on their faces, and then they all sat on the ground, including the stretcher.
"How is the situation on the front line? ? "Wei Ran took out two candies from his pocket and gave them to the two soldiers. The candies were given to him by Mario before he and Mario had a fight over the wound on their buttocks.
"Thank you! "
The two soldiers squeezed the candy into their mouths, and one of them said with lingering fear, "We suffered a lot of casualties, and we were fighting with the Soviets almost in room after room. "
"How far are they from the Moltke Bridge? "Wei Ran continued to ask, "I mean those Soviet people. "
"It's not far," another soldier said while holding a candy bar in his mouth as he struggled to get up. "It's only two crossroads at most. Okay, doctor, thank you for the candy. We need it." Went to carry other wounded people over. "
"Don't worry yet"
Wei Ran stopped the two people, pointed to the wounded lying around in the open air and said, "You have also seen that our clinic was destroyed not long ago. It has been destroyed by artillery shells, but even if the clinic is still there, there is no way for all the wounded people around it to be accommodated. Can you two help find a safe enough place in these houses on the left to place these wounded? "
The two young soldiers hesitated when they heard this, but before they could open their mouths, Wei Ran lowered his voice and said casually, "At least it's safer than going to the other side of the river, isn't it? ”
“Let’s go find it now! "These two soldiers are not fools. After being reminded by Wei Ran, they immediately took over the job.
"Look on the left side of this alley, remember to stay away from the river. "
Wei Ran said this and pointed to the wounded on the ground not far away, "Once you find them, you will carry those wounded over. In addition, we need two loyal people at night. Soldiers protect the wounded, you..."
"We will definitely protect these wounded! "The two smart guys who were dragged into the trap by Wei Ran immediately made a promise.
Watching them run over the ruins and disappear, Wei Ran lowered his head and looked at the body still lying on the stretcher, bending down. He took off the helmet from his head and put it on his head with peace of mind.
After the two doctors in the tent completed the operation on the wounded person who was carried in, the two soldiers also ran back and found him. Wei Ran.
“We found one that looked likeCome to a very safe location. One of the soldiers said, "Would you like me to take you to see it?" "
"Let's go! "
While Wei Ran was talking, he took out two cans from the wooden box and stuffed them into their hands respectively. This small favor immediately made these two people look several years younger than him. The soldiers became more and more polite.
Under their leadership, Wei Ran climbed over the ruins with corpses, passed through a collapsed wall on the left side of the alley, and passed through two collapsed buildings. Finally, we stopped at the door of a large room with a remaining curtain.
“This used to be a movie theater,” one of the slightly taller soldiers explained, “I used to go here to watch movies with my classmates. ”
“I’ve been here too, and I was caught for fare evasion. Another soldier said regretfully, "I still remember that the ticket seller in this cinema was very beautiful." "
"That's right here"
Wei Ran took out his flashlight and looked around, and said as he walked back, "Bring the wounded over here, remember to give priority to them. Those in military uniforms, then the lightly wounded, and the remaining seriously wounded stay over there first. ”
Wei Ran was wearing a white coat after all, so the two soldiers would naturally not object to his words. They quickly followed him back to the open space at the end of the alley, temporarily placed the body in a crater, and then started According to Wei Ran's instructions, the wounded were transported.
In a short time, the only three beds in the tent were filled with wounded people waiting for treatment. Wei Ran did not delay and took a slightly clean one. I put on some white coats, put on rubber gloves and started working.
There were only two professional doctors, a half-baked doctor who looked more like a butcher, and a taciturn little nurse. Next, the wounded who were sent from various places were brought into the tent, and soon after, the two young soldiers left behind by Wei Ran were carried out as sick patients or corpses.
When the humid fog was completely dissipated by the sun near noon, when a wounded man who had been shot in the abdomen was brought in, Wei Ran was stunned because there was a camera hanging around the neck of this middle-aged man with glasses. !
“It’s here! ”
Wei Ran glanced at it and quickly looked away. With the help of the little nurse, he completed the work at hand as quickly as possible. How could he borrow a camera from the captain's uniform if he stayed behind?
However, before he could figure out the result, Dr. Lodge was in charge of operating on the wounded man. But he threw the hemostatic forceps on the enamel plate beside him and said, "Carry him away, he is no longer alive. "
Before he finished speaking, the two young soldiers waiting outside the tent immediately came in, took the body off the operating table and sent it to the bomb crater not far outside.
“I hope they don’t take it away. "
Wei Ran muttered to himself and patiently sutured the wound. Then he temporarily left the tent under the pretext of urinary escape.
"Where is that lieutenant just now?" Wei Ran stopped the two soldiers carrying the body, "The one with the camera hanging around his neck."
"It's in the crater over there." One of the soldiers pointed not far away and said, "Doctor Victor, do you want his camera?"
"How do you know?" Wei Ran, who was about to run towards the crater, immediately stopped. Come down and turn around.
"Except for the P38 pistol, the only valuable thing he had on him was his camera."
While the soldier was speaking, he opened the bulging shoulder bag around his waist. He took out the cowhide camera bag with the remaining blood and handed it to Wei Ran, "Thank you for letting us stay."
"I just wanted to take a few photos for everyone."
Wei Ran took the camera and looked at it. It was a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera, but it was smaller and more delicate than the one he had used in the Battle of Stalingrad. Even the camera bag was custom-made. Made of horse fur, it even has a precious gold melee assault medal inlaid on it.
"I also found a few boxes of film on him."
After the soldier finished speaking, he rummaged through his satchel again. Wei Ran looked over subconsciously, and then hurriedly He lowered his head and looked at the camera in his hand again. There were a lot of valuable things in that soldier's backpack. The flipping through just now revealed a lot of watches, pocket watches, and even rings of different materials and even medals!
It wasn't until the other party stretched out the four Bakelite sealing tubes that Wei Ran raised his head, took them gratefully and said, "Then I'm welcome."
" Take it!" the soldier said nonchalantly, and then he and his companions were called over by Father Hans in the tent.
Looking at the few seriously injured people left around the clearing, Wei Ran fiddled with the camera in his hand, and then put the wounded, the tent, and the two soldiers carrying the stretcher into the viewfinder. I took the first photo since arriving in this era.
After the two soldiers left the camera range, Wei Yan got into the tent and pressed the shutter again towards Father Hans and Dr. Lodge who were busy.
"Victor, if you have time to take pictures, why not go give the injured a few stitches." Dr. Lodge said without raising his head.
"Right away! Right now!" Wei Ran hurriedly put away the camera, put it in the basket under the operating table, put on gloves and continued working.
