Main story:

The mobile medical team led by Baek Koo Un was in and out of the line of fire to save lives and help the wounded. In order to minimize the pain and disability of the wounded, he set up the operating table closest to the firing line.In November 1938, the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army ambushed the Japanese on the Guangling Highway, and he set up the first aid station less than 10 miles from the front line. In 40 hours, he performed 71 operations in a row.

In February 1939, he led a medical team to cooperate with the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army to advance into Jizhong. In four months in Jizhong, he traveled 1,500 miles and performed 315 surgeries. In the famous battle of Qi Hui, his operating table was set up in a temple seven miles from the firing line.

Enemy shells collapsed the walls, but he still insisted on working, operating on 115 wounded for 69 hours. By this time, he was nearly 50 years old, and he also twice gave blood transfusions of 300 milliliters each to the sick and wounded. He always said, "You have to take me as a machine gun."
