Chapter 156 4 Warehouses
Chapter 156 4 Warehouses
Jiang Shiyuan and his party inevitably heard the news during their retreat.
In the real world, she had seen the movie "Eight Hundred", which tells the story of a group of heroes who defended the Sihang Warehouse to the death, known in history as the "Eight Hundred Heroes".
She remembered that she cried so hard in the cinema and couldn't recover for a long time.
Thinking about this tragic history, Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but discuss with his brother beside him: "Brother, what do you think about the Sihang Warehouse..."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shijia grabbed his sister's wrist and asked anxiously, "Little sister, what happened to the Sihang Warehouse?"
Jiang Shiyuan paused, his eyes reddened as he said, "The 88th Regiment of the 524th Division has been ordered to defend the Sihang Warehouse, stop the Japanese pirates, and cover the retreat of our main force..."
"But they only have more than 400 people, and their weapons and equipment are so backward..."
"Only more than 400 people?!" Jiang Shijia felt a sudden pain in his chest and started coughing violently when he heard that.
"Cough cough cough-"
"Brother, don't get excited!" Jiang Shiyuan quickly supported his brother and patted his back gently.
Jiang Shijia was extremely anxious at the moment and really wanted to go to the Sihang Warehouse to help.
He knew that his body was no longer fit for long-distance raids and charges into battle, and that he would be a burden if he continued to go with them. It would be most appropriate for him to garrison at the Sihang Warehouse.
While he was thinking, Jiang Shijia coughed even more violently, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the military uniform on his chest red.
"Brother!" Jiang Shiyuan exclaimed, and together with Chen Qingyan, they held him firmly.
Jiang Shijia's eyes went dark and his consciousness gradually blurred, but he still held his sister's hand tightly and said with his last bit of strength: "Little sister... Sihang Warehouse... can't be abandoned..."
Seeing this, Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Qingyan acted decisively and applied to no longer follow the base hospital to be relocated, but to take Jiang Shijia to a hospital in Shanghai as soon as possible for medical treatment.
After receiving the application, Commander Wang immediately nodded in agreement, and asked a soldier to carry Jiang Shijia on his back, and the other two soldiers to escort them to the nearest hospital.
They finally entered the International Settlement at nightfall and quickly sent Jiang Shijia to the Sacred Heart Hospital where Jiang Shiyuan worked.
The internist quickly arrived after hearing the news and gave Jiang Shijia emergency treatment and a full body examination.
"Doctor Li, how is my brother?" Jiang Shiyuan asked anxiously.
Doctor Li shook his head solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Jiang, your brother's internal organs are severely damaged. He must have been hit by multiple artillery fires. I'm afraid... he doesn't have much time left..."
"No, no! My brother will be fine!" Jiang Shiyuan shook his head desperately, tears blurring his eyes.
"Ayuan, don't get excited first..." Chen Qingyan gently put his arms around Jiang Shiyuan's shoulders and comforted him softly.
"What the doctor says may not always be right. Jia Geji has his own destiny. We must believe in miracles!"
"Yeah! I believe in miracles!"
Jiang Shiyuan nodded vigorously, as if he wanted to pin all his hopes on this "miracle".
However, the reality is often more cruel.
After emergency treatment, Jiang Shijia is no longer in danger of death, but his body is still relatively weak and he needs a long period of rest.
"Doctor Li, when will my brother wake up?"
"That's... hard to say. It depends on the patient's recovery and will to live." Doctor Li answered very cautiously.
"Then...then can my brother still..." Jiang Shiyuan choked and didn't say anything else.
Dr. Li was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head without giving a clear answer.
Jiang Shiyuan suddenly felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and he almost fainted.
"Ayuan!" Chen Qingyan was quick to support her, "We must hold on, Jia Ge still needs our care..."
"I'm fine..." Jiang Shiyuan shook his head, suppressing the grief in his heart, "Ayan, I want... I want to be alone with my brother for a while, you go and rest first..."
"Okay, then I'll sit in the corridor outside for a while. Just call me if you need anything!" After Chen Qingyan said this, he turned and walked out of the ward.
Jiang Shiyuan sat down beside the bed, holding his brother's cold hand, tears silently streaming down his face.
"Brother, you have to get better. You promised me that you would celebrate my birthday with dad every year..."
"Brother, you've already broken your promise once..."
"Brother, wake up, don't leave me alone..."
"elder brother……"
Jiang Shiyuan called her brother over and over again, but the unconscious Jiang Shijia never gave her any response.
It was late at night. Jiang Shiyuan and Chen Qingyan, both exhausted from the past few days, fell into a deep sleep on the accompanying bed next to the hospital bed, back to back.
The next morning, Jiang Shiyuan woke up in a daze.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and subconsciously turned to look at the hospital bed, only to find that Jiang Shijia, who was supposed to be lying on the bed, was nowhere to be seen!
"Brother?!" Jiang Shiyuan suddenly lost all sleepiness and sat up abruptly.
“Ayan, Ayan!” She quickly woke up Chen Qingyan beside her, pointed at the empty bed, and said anxiously: “My brother… my brother is gone!”
"What, he's gone?!" Chen Qingyan was also shocked when he heard this, and then guessed: "Could it be that...he went out for a walk?"
"How can my brother go for a walk by himself in this state?"
Jiang Shiyuan shook his head and denied Chen Qingyan's guess.
"Then...could it be..." Chen Qingyan suddenly thought of something and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"Could it be something?" Jiang Shiyuan asked.
"Could it be that Jia Ge...knows that he doesn't have much time left, so..."
Chen Qingyan gritted his teeth and finally expressed his guess.
"No, impossible! My brother won't leave me alone!"
Jiang Shiyuan shook his head desperately, refusing to believe what Chen Qingyan said.
At this moment, Jiang Shiyuan suddenly discovered that there was a cup of water on the bedside table next to the bed, with a note underneath.
Jiang Shiyuan picked up the note with trembling hands, opened it, and saw a few lines of vigorous handwriting on it:
"Little sister, I know my time is running out, so I want to be willful one more time in my last days.
I don’t want to die on a hospital bed like this. The best fate for a soldier is to die on a battlefield!
Compared with the main force retreating westward, the brothers in the Sihang Warehouse need me more.
Please tell my father for me that I will be filial to him in my next life!
I’m sorry, little sister, I broke my promise again…”
"Brother——" Jiang Shiyuan clenched the note tightly and burst into tears.
She knew that her brother had decided to burn the last light and heat of his life to protect the Sihang Warehouse, which symbolizes the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation!
