Zhang Chi suffered only minor injuries, but he still received more attention from the doctor.

"You are very lucky!" said the nurse who bandaged Zhang Chi and said, "If the shrapnel is a little bit more, then what is peeled off is not the flesh on your shoulders, but your collarbone or your carotid artery!"

Zhang Chi felt it was true when the nurse said this. When the shrapnel streaked past, the airflow on his neck was indeed felt.

But the nurse's next words made Zhang Chi a little ridiculous: "If this is the case, maybe I won't see you, right?"

Although Zhang Chi knows that Americans are very straightforward and American women are very bold, they are not so straightforward.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi quickly understood that the American nurse said these words in English. She must have thought she didn't understand English... Who would have thought that an ordinary Chinese soldier could speak English?

So Zhang Chi pretended not to understand and did not show any abnormalities on her face. Even when the doctor told Zhang Chi in awkward Chinese that she had to stay in the hospital for a week, Zhang Chi opposed it in Chinese... This really made Zhang Chi a little unimaginable, but this minor injury would have to stay in the hospital for a week.

But the doctor's answer was very firm. He said in stiff Chinese: "No, you must stay for a week. Without my approval, you cannot be discharged from the hospital!"

Zhang Chi has somehow experienced the "people-oriented" thinking and style of Americans. If the same situation occurs in China, this minor injury will have to be in the hospital for a week?! This will definitely be regarded as a "sickness" by others.

At the same time, Zhang Chi also felt the pain of other comrades. It was indeed very comfortable in the hospital. The bed sheets and quilts were all new and disinfected. The food was delivered by nurses on time. It was still hot dishes and rice. More importantly, there was no need to worry about safety issues... This environment is not an exaggeration for Chinese soldiers to use paradise as a metaphor.

But Zhang Chi, who had just come off the battlefield, was not used to it, and this unfamiliarity included two aspects:

On the one hand, the contrast between the hospital and the front line is too large, which makes Zhang Chi a little unable to adapt.

On the other hand, Zhang Chi was worried that if she stayed in the hospital for too long. When she returned to the battlefield, she would be uncomfortable. Zhang Chi was even worried that she would lose her sensitivity on the battlefield... This was not that Zhang Chi was worried about nothing, but that this environment and such medical conditions made Zhang Chi feel a little unreal to the modern era, and the tight nerve slowly relaxed. If he didn't have to go to the battlefield in the future, that was indeed a good thing, but it was only one week before he had to go back, which turned out to be a temptation.

However, life is indeed easy in the hospital, especially the American nurses thought Zhang Chi didn't understand English, so they often said something that Zhang Chi shouldn't have heard:

"I heard you are a hero. They said you killed a lot of Japanese people on the battlefield, and I think that must be cool..."

"Well, the recovery is very good! Do you know? I have always hoped to have a hero's boyfriend, okay... I feel like I'm a little bit in love with you!"

"In just a few days, we may be strangers. No matter what, good luck!"

...

Zhang Chi has never said it out loud, because he felt that if this American nurse named Anne discovered this secret, it would make her very embarrassed.

Moreover, Zhang Chi also planned to spend this week just like this and pretend that nothing had happened.

But whether it was good or not. Stilwell went to the field hospital to visit the wounded soldiers the day before Zhang Chi was discharged.

"Hey, brothers!" Stilwell greeted the wounded in Chinese: "How are you recovering?"

"We have recovered well, General!" the soldiers answered one after another.

Although Stilwell is a man who is sarcastic to officers or colleagues, he is very tolerant of ordinary soldiers... This seems to be the opposite of Chinese officers. Of course, there are exceptions to Chinese officers.

"You are all good!" Stilwell shook hands with the wounded soldiers one by one: "You are heroes. You have a few days of rest here. Only after you have good health can you continue to go to the battlefield to kick the Japanese ass!"

"Don't be anxious, I will let the Japanese wait for you on the battlefield!"

...

The soldiers were amused by Stilwell's American humor.

Zhang Chi didn't want Stilwell to recognize him because Annie was helping him check his wound at this time.

But Stilwell recognized Zhang Chi at a glance when he passed by.

"Hey Zhang!" Stilwell said enthusiastically in English when he saw Zhang Chi: "I heard that you are hospitalized, it doesn't matter!"

"Uh..." Zhang Chi was a little embarrassed. He knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he had to answer in English: "It doesn't matter. General, I think I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow!"

Then Zhang Chi found that the work on Annie's hand had stopped. She looked at Zhang Chi as if she saw an alien and said, "Oh my God, you...you can speak English?"

"Of course!" Stilwell looked at Anne with some surprise: "He used to be my translator, have you...n't you talk to me?"

"No. General...I..." Annie was a little panicked, then suddenly laughed and said to Zhang Chi: "This is incredible. You actually lied to me for a whole week!"

"Sorry!" Zhang Chi replied: "I don't know how to answer you!"

"No, I don't mind!" Anne replied, "You should have told me earlier that if that, I think we will be friends, what do you think?"

Now Zhang Chi fully felt the generosity and directness of the Americans... If it were a Chinese woman, she would have been blushing and ran away.

"Zhang..." Stilwell invited Zhang Chi aside and said, "Do you know? You used tanks to intersperse in Panmai's battle, which made me realize that tanks are not useless in the jungle and harsh environment..."

Of course, this is the case. Zhang Chi thought to himself: Tanks are just not suitable for fighting in the jungle, but once the tanks pass through the jungle smoothly, it will often give the enemy a fatal blow... Because the enemy also thought that those in the jungle would not face the tanks, they were not prepared at all.

This is also one of the reasons why nearly 100,000 British troops in Singapore were forced to land by 30,000 Japanese troops... According to military theory, the British army felt that the Japanese army would not use tanks on Singapore's terrain, but the Japanese army used them.

"I got inspiration from this!" Stilwell spread a map in front of Zhang Chi and said, "I think we can also use armored troops to intersperse Bamo. What do you think?"
