Chapter 346: Chapter 0346: End of Section 2_1

The letter and medicines sent by Feng Qingxue arrived at the troops twenty days later, received by Ouyang Zijin.

Division Commander Ye, Zhao Yong, and Lu Jiang were all away. The person in charge, who remained stationed at the rear and was a close confidant of Division Commander Ye, had met Feng Qingxue at the military hospital. They both shared deep impressions of each other. Ouyang Zijin was also there, back for the supply of the border defense troops, busy collecting supplies and medicines three days after his return.

After finishing the content of the letter, Ouyang Zijin was overjoyed.

What was currently most lacking in the troops? Equipment, food, and medicine were all urgently needed.

The medicine that Feng Qingxue had managed to arrange to get to them solved an immediate problem. Ouyang Zijin quickly got in touch with Division Commander Ye who was directing the border defense troops. Via military telephone, through an internal line, contact was made.

"Really? Send it quickly! Send it right now! The war is about to break out, we have a dire need!" Division Commander Ye was happier than anyone else.

After hanging up the phone, Division Commander Ye paced back and forth in the room.

Recently, they had been preparing for battle rather than engaging in combat, so there were no casualties. However, many of the soldiers injured under Lu Jiang’s command had suffered infections because of a lack of medicine and had eventually perished.

This situation distressed Division Commander Ye. They didn’t die under the enemy’s guns, but due to a lack of supplies on their side.

"Someone, summon Lu Jiang!" After calming down his emotions, Division Commander Ye addressed the door.

Lu Jiang arrived quickly, and after entering, stood with his feet together and saluted, "Division Commander, what do you command?"

Division Commander Ye patted his shoulder and informed him of what Ouyang Zijin had reported, "Thank you, Lu Jiang, after this defensive counterattack war is over, if you get a chance to go home, thank Qingxue on my behalf!"

Lu Jiang was first taken aback, then blurted out, "She knows that I’m on the battlefield?"

Upon hearing this, Division Commander Ye was puzzled, "Didn’t you send a letter home before departing? However, I heard that you send two or three letters home every month, why did you stop sending them before departing?"

Lu Jiang gave a bitter smile, "I did send a letter, and I’ve also written a stack of letters and asked old Geng in the army to send one home for me every month. I just didn’t mention that I was sent to the battlefield. My wife is about to give birth, so I didn’t want her to worry."

It seemed that he couldn’t hide it from her after all.

Division Commander Ye laughed heartily, "I think your wife is intelligent and quick-witted, you definitely can’t fool her."

Lu Jiang fully agreed.

Sighing twice, he pleaded, "Division Commander, I have a request."

"What is it? Say it!"

"It’s about the medicine sent by Qingxue. Please conceal it from others and don’t mention that she arranged for it." Feng Qingxue worried about his lack of medical supplies on the battlefield, but he was equally concerned about the danger these actions could bring to his wife.

Division Commander Ye replied seriously, "Don’t worry! I have already instructed Zijin, we will claim externally that I arranged for the medicines. It was delivered to your wife to be sent to the army as a whole. Zijin told me, in her letter, your wife mentioned that she had, on our behalf, YOU, and Zhao Yong’s, expended a lot of effort, begged many people, and spent a lot of money finally to get these medicines."

"That’s good! That’s very good!"

Yes, it’s excellent, because not long after these medicines reached the border defense force, a major battle started. From October to November, over a month, hundreds of our own were sacrificed while thousands of the enemy were annihilated. We finally recaptured our homeland.

These medicines proved extremely valuable, greatly reducing the fatality rate among the injured.

Even the frostbite medicine that Feng Qingxue thought insignificant cured many of the troops’ frostbite injuries resulting from fighting in the icy and snowy mountains.
