Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

When Dr. Zhao was changing the medicine for his comrade, he touched the medicine box and sighed heavily, "It's bad, there's no sedative."

There are still some disinfectants, but no pain relievers.

Shen Jinzhen hesitated for a moment, "Is morphine okay?"

This is a soothing medicine that my brother found within his ability. Using too much can be fatal, but using less than the normal dose is completely fine.

"Okay, bring it."

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Doctor Zhao knew something about this medicine and did not refuse to give it to the soldiers just because it was special.

Shen Jinzhen immediately took all the medicine and, with the help of other soldiers, divided it into equal grams and placed it in different containers to help the soldiers relieve their pain.

Since the troops set out from Ruijin on October 10, they have been on the march for more than a month. The only food they eat every day is corn that has been fried in advance, which is cold and hard. Many seriously injured have been left in the homes of local villagers to recuperate.

Shen Jinzhen's hands had become cracked from the cold and were painful when the cold wind blew.

It’s a pity that there are no gloves here. I just have to wait until the transfer is completed. We have been walking for so long, we should be there soon.

With the arrival of the first snow of winter, Shen Jinzhen also followed the Red Army's First Army to Haofu Village, Dao County.

The cold winter weather had already caused her lips to crack, and her body temperature remained below normal.

The situation of the others was not much better than her. Transferring eight or nine kilometers of weight every day was a heavy drain on everyone.

Shen Jinzhen sat on the ground, took out some corn, and ate it numbly with the winter snow.

Wei Ruolai silently handed over a pot of water from the side. Shen Jinzhen only took a sip to moisten his throat and returned it. The winter wind was biting cold, and the water he drank was cold.

"Good news, comrades. The advance reconnaissance company sent by our army has discovered that there are no Gui army troops in the Xing'an, Quanzhou, and Guanyang areas. As long as we pass through this area and cross the Xiangjiang River, we will have a chance to catch our breath and rest."

After receiving the order from his superiors, Captain Bai immediately rushed back and happily told everyone the news.

Most of the soldiers showed long-lost smiles on their faces. The fierce fighting and migration in recent days were too painful for them.

Shen Jinzhen frowned, feeling a little strange. Even though he had seen other armies not attacking with all their might along the way, this had never happened before.

"But why aren't the Gui army here? Is this an empty city plan?"

Niu Chunmiao was not carried away by joy. She first thought of the empty city plan in ancient military tactics.

"Why so many questions? Maybe they are scared, or they have conflicts with the Nanjing government. The leader said that we should take a good rest and then we can go through there."

Captain Bai's eyes were filled with excitement at the news. As long as the Gui army did not withdraw, they could get out of here and rush to the Xiangjiang River.

"It's already suspicious that the main force of the Gui army is not nearby, so why do we still need to rest here?"

Shen Jinzhen felt a little strange. "To the north, there are six divisions of the Hunan Army, two divisions of Commander Xue, and Chiang Kai-shek's main force of pursuers behind us. Logically speaking, breaking through at this time is the best outcome."

If you suspect that the Gui army is planning something shady, you can launch a surprise attack from other locations, but if you rest in place you will easily be surrounded by the enemy.
