Field hospitals
The Second Division Hospital of the Railway Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was established in 1948 and experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
On June 27, 1965, the hospital crossed the friendship barrier with the detachment to participate in the War of Resistance against the United States in Vietnam. When Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Vo Nguyen Gia visited the hospital, he found that it was a key bombing area for enemy planes and suggested that the detachment relocate the health camp to 39 kilometers of Highway 1. In August, Ho Chi Minh, President of the Republic of Vietnam, visited the troops and found that the area was still the target of bombing by enemy planes, and suggested that it should be moved immediately. As a result, the health camp was relocated to 82 kilometers of Highway 1, sheltering in a cave-like cave to create conditions for the safe rescue of patients.
The health camp is equipped with internal medicine, surgery, infectious diseases, outpatient clinics, operating rooms, pharmacies, X-ray rooms, laboratories and health training teams. The administrative department consists of a medical office, a political office, and a hospital affairs office. Three clinical wards, each hidden in three large caves. Health battalion commander Song Futing, deputy battalion commander Yang Zhonghai, and political coordinator Zhang Zhaowu.
Hospital construction
In 1966, 20 college students were assigned from the Qiqihar Military Medical College, and a group of veteran military doctors with rescue experience were transferred from various divisions of the railway corps to enrich the technical force, and the medical battalion became a formed unit with 120 beds and 126 staff. There has been a big leap forward in medical work.
On June 7, 1967, the health battalion was changed into a hospital of the first detachment of the Chinese Logistics Force, and was designated as a regiment-level unit. The president and political commissar are appointed by the Military Commission. President Wang Jiansheng, Political Commissar Liu Zhicheng, Vice President Shan Liang, and Deputy Political Commissar Sun Jufa.
In February 1968, 30 nurses were transferred from the 301 Nursing School and 7 high-achieving students were transferred from the Fourth Military Medical University of the People's Liberation Army. They are Shah, Du Xiuying and his wife, Pang Zhixian, Mi Shuxiu and his wife, Zhou Shuhui, Meng Jinrong and his wife, and Zhang Baoneng. They went down to the company, ate, lived and worked with the soldiers, experienced wars and hardships, used their knowledge to serve the wounded and sick, and increased the technical strength of the hospital.
Rescue the wounded
From 1965 to 1967, the U.S. military bombed North Vietnam, causing heavy casualties. The comrades-in-arms braved the indiscriminate bombing of enemy planes and spared no effort to escort and rescue the wounded. Once, when Dr. Liu Mingsheng led 11 comrades-in-arms on a mission, when an enemy plane suddenly bombed the Songhua Bridge, he immediately made a decision and commanded the car to increase the accelerator, and the enemy plane hovering above his head moved forward bravely, and because of the decisive decision, more than 10 comrades-in-arms on the car were safe and sound. There are many examples of such births and deaths.
The hospital's surgical staff fought day and night, racing against death. Every time they were bombed by enemy planes, many of their comrades-in-arms were wounded, and the surgical medical staff were under tremendous pressure to pull the wounded back from the line of death again and again.
As a medical worker, he often participated in the emergency rescue after the explosion of a time bomb, rushed into the torrent to rescue the drowning soldiers when the flash flood broke out, and participated in the on-site rescue of tunnel collapses, landslides, and squib accidents.
Medicine from the deep mountains
The hospital adheres to the principle of integrating traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine for the treatment of the sick and wounded, which is inseparable from traditional Chinese medicine, which is personally picked by medical staff in the deep mountains and old forests of Vietnam, many of which are precious Chinese medicinal materials, some of which grow on tall trees. These warriors from big cities had never climbed trees, and in order to pick medicinal herbs, they all learned to climb trees, and they climbed very high.
It is very dangerous to collect medicine in the deep mountains and old forests, in addition to preventing falling from trees, it is also necessary to prevent poisonous snakes and insect bites. The attending doctor, Sui Shouzhen, had been scratched by a poisonous leaf, causing severe pain, and when he was returned to the hospital, his violent cries of pain reverberated through the valley, and he slowly calmed down after being injected with the intense pain-relieving durol.
New Medical Law
In 1968, a vigorous new medical law was carried out in China, and acupuncture treatment was also carried out in a group of hospitals abroad, and all departments of the hospital were also widely carried out, and the Department of Surgery carried out acupuncture and anesthesia to do Lanwei surgery, and the Department of Surgery Dr. Yu Yongming, Dr. Kang Changming, Dr. Deng Qiru, Zhang Guanglai, and Han Jianxin all participated in the operation, which was rumored to be a good story at that time.
In the Department of Internal Medicine, acupuncture was used to treat chronic diseases for patients, which was called new acupuncture treatment at that time, and homemade cupping was made. New medical laws are emerging in hospitals.
Treat fellows
Patients from 13 of the 16 provinces in northern Vietnam have come to our military hospitals, including relatives of senior Vietnamese leaders.
One day in 1969, it was reported on the radio that the surgical rescue of a Vietnamese girl with internal bleeding urgently needed a blood transfusion, Guo Jiarui, who was working in the outpatient clinic, immediately ran to the surgery, because she was thin and small, and her weight was not enough for blood transfusion standards, and the nurse who drew blood from the surgery did not agree, but Guo Jiarui was lying on the bed and insisted on donating blood, and had to draw blood for him at her strong request, and at the same time donated blood for this little girl, as well as Lu Fengxia, Wu Qiusheng, and Guo Heping. It saved the life of a Vietnamese girl and contributed to the friendship between China and Vietnam.
Under the leadership of Dr. Wei Guoping, the clinic actively carried out new acupuncture therapy, which was well received by the officers and soldiers and the Vietnamese people. He led the medical staff to practice needles on his body and experience the feeling of needles. Because the Vietnamese people are very fond of acupuncture therapy, the outpatient clinic has to receive dozens of patients every day, sometimes close to 100 (at that time, there were so many people that they could only be called). In the outpatient clinic, Guo Yimen, Zou Wenping, Guo Jiarui, and Ma Xiujing also treated two deaf-mutes in Vietnam, Hong Bishui and Tao Qiuxiang, and their hearing and pronunciation were restored.
Due to the achievements made in the new medical law, in 1970, the outpatient clinic was rated as a pacesetter at a meeting of activists who studied Chairman Mao's writings.
White-clothed soldiers who aided Vietnam to resist the United States
There are many heroes on the front line of emergency repair, and in the hospital system, there are also medical staff who have been awarded meritorious awards.
Health worker Luo Shilong bravely rescued five wounded members of the Vietnamese People's Army and was awarded a second-class meritorious service. Yang Zhonghai, director of the medical department, as a representative of the 20th anniversary of the National Day, climbed the Tiananmen Tower, which became a major event in the political life of the hospital.
Racing against time to rescue the wounded, carrying a medicine box on his back, he was sent to the hospital even under the medicine box, braved the hardships and dangers to go into the mountains to collect medicine, rolled up his sleeves to transfuse blood for the wounded, and braved the enemy plane to send the wounded back to ......China. As white-clothed soldiers who aided Vietnam to resist the United States, we have no regrets and have added glory to the five greats, and we feel very honored.
