Chapter 158 The Counterfeit Medicine Incident (Rewards and updates!)
After seeing the condition of the well, Xia Yuan followed Company Commander Feng to the waiting room, and after a short meeting with the instructor, Xia Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "Instructor, I will do the ideological work of the soldiers to me."

The instructor said: "The battle of Shangganling will not end in a short time. If the enemy completely takes root in the surface position and blocks the road on the reverse slope, our only contact with the rear is the telephone. Bombing, once the medicine, food, and water sources in the tunnel are used up, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"

With a serious face on his face: "We must prepare in advance for everything that may happen in the future."

Xia Yuan looked at the instructor in surprise. He didn't expect the instructor to think of the future. As the instructor said, the shortage of supplies in the future did happen, even more serious than imagined, even though he had worked very hard. Things are changing, but because the time spent traveling is too short, he has already tried his best to do something to change the situation of the battle.

But the strength of one person is too weak, and the battle of Shangganling was more cruel than imagined.

Xia Yuan understood what the instructor meant, "Instructor, I understand that the more difficult the situation is, the more we have to face it. The shortage of supplies may cause the soldiers to have negative psychology, especially for the wounded."

The instructor smiled, and said to Company Commander Feng: "Old Feng, Comrade Xia Yuan is still very smart, you know it at one point, you are right, the conditions in the tunnels are getting more difficult, and the soldiers will have some psychological instability. idea."

He said solemnly: "When we fought against the little devils before, we were surrounded by the little devils. In order not to hinder the soldiers from breaking through, the wounded committed suicide by touching guns at night. The soldiers didn't understand anything, but they were better than others. We must think clearly, and we must pay special attention to their ideological work."

The instructor still cares about the physical and mental health of the soldiers. On weekdays, he will chat with the wounded and do ideological work for the wounded, especially the seriously wounded.

The current materials are still sufficient, but sooner or later they will run out. The soldiers are very simple-minded, especially those who are seriously injured. The instructors have already begun to think about the future.

Xia Yuan was also thinking.

Company Commander Feng said: "Sit down and talk about this matter, take your time. I saw a group of soldiers outside talking about your performance on the battlefield. You can take advantage of the high spirits of the soldiers and issue the appointment of the commander of the Ninth Company. By the way, you will give another speech."

Xia Yuan nodded, and hesitated: "Commander Feng, is the appointment of the commander of the Ninth Company too hasty? After all, I just joined the company at the end of September."

Company Commander Feng shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry, this was carefully discussed by the regiment headquarters. It is most suitable for you to be the company commander of the Ninth Company. You performed very well on the battlefield and led a squad of soldiers to wipe out a company of the US army. It also proves that your command ability is good, I believe that the Ninth Company will develop better and better under your leadership."

Xia Yuan thought about it seriously, and said seriously: "Company Commander Feng, I understand, I will try my best to do better!"

The instructor sighed, "At this time, we, as commanders and fighters, have to withstand the pressure more. As the commander of the Ninth Company, you have a heavier burden on your shoulders."

Xia Yuan nodded: "Instructor, don't worry, I will withstand the pressure and lead Jiulian well!"

"Hey!" The instructor stood up and said, "By the way, Lao Feng, I'll open up some beef cans tonight and let the soldiers eat some meat. There must be some sweetness in the hardships. It has been a long time since the soldiers entered the tunnel. Time has not eaten meat, let the soldiers eat something good to deal with the more difficult battles that follow."

Company Commander Feng nodded, "I'll let the cook do it."

At this time, Wang Lan, a female hygienist, ran in from the outside, with an anxious expression on her face: "Company commander, instructor, something is wrong!"

The three of them were startled and quickly stood up. Company Commander Feng said, "Don't worry, speak slowly."

Wang Lan hurriedly said: "Company Commander, our medicine is fake!"

"What? Our medicine is fake?" Company Commander Feng was at a loss.

Wang Lan hurriedly dragged Company Commander Feng outside: "Company Commander, instructor, come here."

The three of them came to a lightly wounded man. The soldier's arm was bruised by a bullet. The wound was small and covered with a small amount of bandages. It was yellow, pus was flowing, and there were medicine residues on the wound.

"What's going on?" Company Commander Feng narrowed his eyes when he saw this situation.

"Company commander, it's like this. From the beginning of the battle, I bandaged some soldiers who were injured. But when I changed the dressing the next day, I found that some soldiers' wounds had festered, and even had a severe fever. When the wounded soldier was applying the medicine this time, I was more careful."

Wang Landao: "The medicine in our tunnels is our own, and some were seized from the foreign devils. I will write down the soldiers who smeared the medicine brought by us, and write down the soldiers who smeared the medicine of the foreign devils. I will change it today." When we took the medicine, we found that the wounds of the soldiers who applied the foreign devil's medicine were basically stable, but the wounds of the soldiers who applied our own medicine appeared festering, and this was only a day later, so there is something wrong with our medicine!"

Company Commander Feng and the instructor were startled, and the instructor hurriedly asked, "What kind of medicine is it?"

Wang Landao: "Anti-inflammatory drugs, I went to open a first-aid kit and found that there are problems with the medicines in it, and the solid colors of all kinds of medicine powders have problems."

As she spoke, she opened a first-aid kit, picked up the bandage inside and showed it to the company commander and instructor, "Company commander, instructor, look at the bandage, it's not gauze at all!"

The two of them held it in their hands, and their expressions immediately changed. This is not gauze, and there are many small black spots on this bandage, which is very dirty. How can such gauze be tied to the wound!
You must know that gauze is used to save lives. If it is tied to the wound, not only will it not save lives, but it will kill some soldiers who are only slightly injured.

Xia Yuan, who was listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly remembered that during the process of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, a counterfeit drug dealer appeared. This counterfeit drug dealer mixed some medicines with flour, and some bandages even repeated the price of various medicines, and bribed some politicians to help. He made fakes together. At that time, because this drug dealer was always able to deliver goods on time, the logistics of the Volunteer Army at that time all purchased medicines from him. After all, the war was tight, and the medicines had better arrive as soon as possible. His name is Wang Kangnian.

The whole process lasted half a year, and Wang Kangnian obtained as much as 3 million yuan in payment through counterfeit medicines.

You know, at that time, it was the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and 3 million yuan was such a huge fortune.

How many tactics that fought bravely on the battlefield did not die under the guns of the enemy, but died in the hands of their own people.

"Company commander, this is obviously a fake medicine!" Wang Lan's expression was extremely angry, her eyes were wide open, and her chest was constantly bullying, which showed how angry she was inside.

The soldiers were injured in fighting on the front line, and they looked forward to recovering from their wounds and continuing to fight, but they were killed by the medicine sent up from behind.

If it weren't for the seizure of a batch of foreign devil's medicine in the tunnel, the wounds of many soldiers would have worsened. Who knows what would have happened.

Company Commander Feng was obviously very angry, and cursed: "Tmlgb, I must ask the head of the regiment what the logistics are for! How dare you send such medicine to the front line!"

Xia Yuan quickly said: "Company commander, don't be angry, I guess this matter will not be so simple, and the logistics may not be clear. If they were clear, they would not have sent this batch of medicine to the front line."

He thought about it seriously: "I think this is probably not the first batch. Simply ask the logistics, and they won't know. After all, the logistics medicine is also shipped from the back. We have to find this batch of counterfeit medicines. Source, find out who made it, otherwise there will be fake medicines used by other wounded people!"

The instructor agreed with Xia Yuan's words and said: "Old Feng, what Xia Yuan said is very reasonable. Since there are fake medicines here, maybe there are fake medicines in other places, and the logistics are only to deliver the medicines. The investigation is still on the source of these fake medicines, and only by finding the source can we completely cut off the fake medicines and prevent other wounded people from using these fake medicines again."

The instructor was naturally very angry. If these fake medicines were used on the wounded, the consequences would be unimaginable. Fortunately, they were discovered in time.

But what Xia Yuan said made his heart sink. As Xia Yuan said, there are fake medicines on their side, so there are even fake medicines on the various defensive companies. Once the wounded use these fake medicines, the consequences will be What, it's just a shoulder bruise, which festered after a day, those who suffered gunshot wounds, shrapnel wounds, and even some seriously wounded.

This is unimaginable.

"Old Feng, this matter needs to be taken seriously. In this way, I will draft a detailed report, and Comrade Wang Lan will do me a favor."

"Yes!" Wang Lan was very angry holding the medicine in her hand.

On the same day, the instructor drafted a [-]-word document, and sent another correspondent to the regiment headquarters with the package of fake medicines in question. Wang Yongmeng has not come back yet, and he must have received some important news. Task.

He told the correspondent, "This document must be sent to the regiment headquarters, and the regiment leader must read it!"

"Yes!"

After more than an hour, after passing through the enemy's artillery blockade, the correspondent quickly came to the regiment headquarters without panting, "Regimental commander, regimental commander, the documents sent by the instructor of the Seventh Company of Shangganling must be read by you."

"Oh? What document is in such a hurry."

The smile on the face of the head of the 135 regiment faded away. There was also a disassembled first aid kit in the document. He put the first aid kit on the table and opened the document.

The political commissar held a cup of hot water and put it in front of the head of the regiment's desk, and asked, "Documents from Shangganling? Was it the performance on the battlefield?"

"It doesn't look like it. There's a disassembled first aid kit here." The head of the 135th regiment opened the document and looked at it, his face gradually changed from a little relaxed to dignified, his brows were wrinkled, and he slapped him for the last time. He slapped the document on the table with an extremely angry expression, "It's unreasonable! Political commissar, prepare the car! I'm going to the division headquarters!"

He was still angry, and cursed: "It's so special, I want to see who sent the fake medicine! I have to shoot him personally!"

The political commissar picked up the documents on the table, glanced at them roughly, and took a quick look at the first-aid kit on the table. His expression also became angry, and he turned and walked out of the regiment headquarters to prepare the car.

After a while, a jeep drove out from the regiment headquarters and drove towards the rear division headquarters. As soon as it arrived at the division headquarters, it was stopped by the guard, "Tuan Zhang, you can't go in, the division commander and the others will have a meeting again."

"Go away!"

Head Zhang was furious at this moment, he pushed the guard away and walked directly inside.

The commander of the 45th Division was convening a meeting of the division headquarters to study the combat plan for the 135th, when he suddenly saw Commander Zhang approaching Jin aggressively, the division commander looked at it and said, "Commander Zhang, just in time, the general attack on the night of the [-]th will attack you [-] The regiment needs to work harder."

"Master, don't talk about the war, you should read this first!"

Head Zhang held the document in one hand and the first-aid kit in the other, and threw it on the table angrily, "Look, is this a bandage? Look at these medicines again. The solid color is not correct, it is obviously flour The wounded on Shangganling have already used these fake medicines, and the wounds have worsened and become infected. If the reconnaissance team of the Ninth Company had not just seized some medicines in a batch of US military supplies, those wounded soldiers would have been killed by these fake medicines !"

After reading the document, the division commander was furious, "Investigate! Thoroughly investigate this matter! Staff Officer Lin, prepare the car, I'm going to the military headquarters!"

He turned his head to look at Captain Zhang: "The matter of the fake medicine won't just be left alone. If you dare to transport the fake medicine to the front line, I want to see how many heads he has to save his dog's life!"

This document described the ingredients of the medicine in detail, and Xia Yuan was on the side using the information obtained from the front, leading them to investigate from the source of the medicine, especially the largest supplier of medicine in the current War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

The division commander took the document and went to the military headquarters with a wave of anger. What is the intention of using fake medicine on the battlefield? The soldiers on the front line are defending their motherland with their lives. Someone actually set their sights on the medicine.

The division commander found the army commander and vented his anger. After reading it, the army commander was also very angry, especially when he saw that "a large number of fake medicines were suspected to be used on the wounded on the front line", he was even more furious.

In just one day, the counterfeit drug incident spread to the country. After news reports, people all over the country were furious for a while and petitioned one after another, calling for a thorough investigation of the matter.

The superiors also announced their lives, and they will never let the criminals who sell fake medicines go!
After investigation, Wang Kangnian, who was selling counterfeit medicines, was quickly identified. After investigation, this person had been speculating and selling counterfeit medicines to the army since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. At that time, some troops had discovered and sued him, but he lacked authority The adjudication agency, coupled with the chaos of the civil war at the time, had no time to deal with these matters, so this guy escaped.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out. This guy tasted the sweetness and set his sights on the Korean battlefield again.During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the Volunteers were in urgent need of strategic medicines. Wang Kangnian took advantage of his personal connections to win this "big deal". Who would have thought that he would make another old mistake and start to make "small calculations": collecting payment but not delivering goods, it is really evasive If you don't drop it, you will hand over a fake.

In just one year, Wang Kangnian made a profit of hundreds of millions of yuan.

The casualties of the frontline soldiers were huge, and they could have been treated but lost their lives because of Wang Kangnian's medicine.After the newspaper published the news, many citizens went to the government building to petition: they hoped that he could be executed.

On February 1953, 2, Wang Kangnian was executed and ended his sinful life at the age of 28.
