readx;?“ The division commander and the military sub-district sent an urgent telegram, saying that the county seat of Guogen was still in the hands of the county party committee, and that we should immediately bring a regiment to help, and we must defend the county seat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Geng Feng and Feng Aiguo, the commander of the first company of the elite guard battalion of the military sub-district, were inspecting the terrain at Menghong Ferry next to the Xincheng Industrial Zone and discussing how to build fortifications. Suddenly, the combat staff officer guarding the jeep jumped out of the car, rushed towards the two of them, and loudly conveyed the orders of the military division.

"What? Hasn't lost the county seat yet? ”

Geng Feng and Feng Aiguo were overjoyed, and immediately rushed to the side of the jeep, grabbed the microphone of the 861-step walkie-talkie placed on the seat, put it to their mouths and shouted: "Headquarters, headquarters, I am Geng Feng!" Hasn't the county seat been lost yet? ”

&nb+pig+pig+island+novel+++sp;" Yes, according to Staff Officer Han's report, Secretary Yang of the county party committee acted decisively after receiving our notification and immediately concentrated the county brigade in the county seat. At the same time, let the political commissar Mo control the troops, and wait for the opportunity to arrest Peng Desheng and others. However, someone under Commissar Mo secretly informed Peng of the situation, so the other party made a preemptive strike. Political Commissar Mo brought out the troops that were still loyal to him, retreated to the county seat, and joined forces with the county brigade, and the two sides were currently fighting fiercely at the city gate. According to the observation of Han staff officers, the will to fight on both sides was not very high, and I don't know if they were both locals, for fear of accidentally injuring the masses, Peng Desheng's side did not use heavy firepower to attack the city after firing two cannons. The troops loyal to him also did not have a strong will to fight, and after rushing twice and failing to take the city gate, they relied on the houses, fields, and dirt slopes outside the city as protection and fired at the city head. Judging by this, he will not be able to seize the county seat in a day or two. Accordingly, the headquarters ordered your department, with the first company of the guard as the leading force, to transfer a regiment of militia to reinforce the county town of Guogen, and the minimum requirement is to hold the county seat, and if possible, to defeat the rebels and relieve the danger of the county town of Guogen! ”

It may be that there is no danger of losing the county town of Guogen for the time being, and the opposite side is explained in detail in the walkie-talkie, explaining the cause and effect and the order given to the militia division clearly.

"Understood!" Geng Feng and Feng Aiguo were overjoyed, and immediately took the order loudly.

The military sub-district and the Northeast Military Region next door are bounded by the Salween River, and the crossing of the river is entirely ferried by boats. There are two main ferry crossings: one is Mangladu, 20 kilometers upstream, about three kilometers from the university town, which is connected to the road to Kangca; The other is Meng Hongdu in front of him, which is only more than 200 meters away from the military sub-district breeding base after going ashore, and less than one kilometer to the north, that is, the Xincheng Industrial Zone.

In this way, there were no bridges to pass through the two places, and they were all ferries, and it did not take many troops to hold them.

But if the other side fires artillery on the other side, it will definitely fall into the university or industrial zone. In the end, even if the goal of stopping the enemy is achieved, these two important places may be destroyed by the artillery fire of the two sides.

That's what the two of them had a headache with.

At this moment, they heard that the county seat of Guogen had not been lost, and the two were extremely excited.

People are selfish.

To put it mildly, compared to the heartache of breaking some pots and jars in their own house and running to other people's territory to start a war, they are even more careless. In the end, even if the two sides turned Guogen County into a ruin, Geng Feng only sighed a few words afterwards.

"Quick! Quick, call the sappers to come and build a bridge immediately! Company Commander Feng, please take a ferry across the river first, and I will send you another company of militiamen. When the rest of the team is ready, I'll take them to follow! Geng Feng immediately made a decision and immediately issued an order.

"Yes!" Feng Aiguo stood up and saluted.

In order to prevent the enemy from breaking through before the fortifications were completed, the guard company and the assembled militia were divided into two parts, and rushed to Mangladu and Menghongdu respectively. In Meng Hongdu, Feng Aiguo only had two platoons of more than 70 people in his hands, far less than the strength of a company.

However, the military situation was like fire, and in order to avoid accidents, Feng Aiguo couldn't care about gathering the troops, so he took the third platoon, the fourth platoon, as well as several correspondents and deputy instructors, to join a militia company handed over to him by Geng Feng, and rushed to the ferry.

The situation was unclear before, and for fear that the enemy would suddenly arrive and seize the boats, all the ferries on both sides of the strait were forcibly ordered to be gathered on the side of the military sub-district, with a total of three wooden boats, one large, two small and three.

"Comrade company commander, you take someone here to respond, and I will first take the guard company to cross the river first to observe the enemy situation. Wait until I go up to the high ground and give you a signal, and then you will lead everyone across the river. Feng Aiguo had already calculated in his mind, and as soon as he arrived at the dock, he couldn't help but give orders.

"Yes!"

He Yuan Chao Lizheng received the order. He knew that the militia had no formal training and had no idea how to respond if they were suddenly confronted by an enemy. Instead of fighting for merit, it is better to listen to the words of this Feng company commander, let the guard company cross the river first to eliminate the danger, and then let the militia go over safer.

He looked around, and for the sake of safety, he didn't let the militia even wait stupidly at the dock. Instead, they were ordered to be divided into platoons and hide behind several small dirt slopes. In this way, even if the enemy really suddenly appears on the opposite side, everyone will not be exposed to unprotected areas and be targeted by the opponent.

Orders sounded near the wharf, and the people of the guard company, led by Geng Feng, boarded the boat in order, and the militia company here also hid behind the small dirt slope under the command of He Yuanchao.

Although the militia is inferior to the regular army, the military appearance and military discipline are not inferior.

Although many people were full of nervousness and their movements were a little stiff, they still strictly followed the orders of the squad leader, were busy but not chaotic, and quickly moved to the back of the dirt slope.

The sappers in charge of building the bridge ignored them and went around the pier to survey the terrain to determine where and how to erect the bridge.

Above the riverbank, there was also the sound of combat boots running on the ground, the sound of hundreds of thousands of people panting, the sonorous sound of guns colliding, the sound of commanders at all levels, the sound of whistles, and the roar of engines of sappers directing construction vehicles to start, and so on.

Sudden protrusion.

The guard company led by Feng Aiguo had just boarded the boat, and the boatman used a pole to prop the boat away from the dock, when he heard a sound of an engine dozens of meters overhead.

He Yuanchao looked up, only to see a crane appearing in the place where the black smoke was drifting, and it was carefully following the cement ramp, preparing to come down.

Menghongdu and Mangladu are the most important transportation arteries connecting the military sub-district and Guogen County, in order to facilitate the transportation of materials, the wharf has also been reconstructed and expanded by cement, and vehicles can pass through a zigzag ramp to go down from the river bank to the wharf of fifty or sixty meters.

In fact, the dock below can only be used in winter.

Every spring, when the rain starts to increase, the river level gradually rises. Each zigzag corner is the most suitable height of the river for a season. By the time the rainfall is at its heaviest in the summer, the river may rise to 30 meters high, the first corner of the zigzag cement ramp from top to bottom. That's where the summer pier is located.

Behind the crane, a truck full of steel frames also poked out of the front of the truck. When the crane turns the corner, the driver also steps on the brakes, then lets go, and when the vehicle slides one or two meters, he quickly steps on the brakes again, and slowly grinds down.

This truck was followed by another truck, and then another......

They were originally prepared to assist in the construction of a fortress on the riverbank, and all kinds of construction equipment, equipment and materials were fully prepared. When I heard that the bridge was going to be built, I immediately drove down the crane and other equipment.

When the ferry rowed out five or six meters, the crane also arrived at the pier, lowered the support column, and turned the crane.

The river surface in winter is very narrow, Meng Hongdu is only about 20 meters here, and the water flow is not fast. In just a few minutes, the ferry was almost on the other side.

At this time, the first truck transporting the steel frame also went down to the dock and slowly stopped in front of the crane.

The sappers climbed onto the truck, tied the steel cable hanging down from the crane tower to the angle steel and tied it, then whistled and waved the red flag to direct the crane to lift the steel frame, slowly turn the direction, and lift it to the ground.

He Yuanchao looked at the guard company that was flying down from the ferry, and then at the bridge building operation here, blinking.

The others had not seen the sappers build the bridge, and they all leaned out curiously and stared blankly.

"This steel frame is used to build a fortress, and it is too short to build a bridge directly. It needs to be at least four sections to have enough length! An engineer commander carrying a major military academy shouted loudly and instructed the crane to lift more steel frames down, and then a group of sappers rushed up and used thumb-thick screws to fix the segmented steel frames and spliced them into longer spans. In order to ensure the strength of the steel frame, two layers of steel fasteners are added to the joint to strengthen it.

Several sappers squatted on the riverside, drew sketches according to the draft of the three boats and the height of the river at the height, calculated nervously, and then handed the sketches to the other sappers who were waiting.

"In order to erect the pontoon bridge, we requisitioned these ferries!"

He Yuanchao saw the ferry return and was about to let the first and second rows board the boat, but was stopped by the major and announced that the three ferries would be requisitioned.

"But we haven't crossed the river yet......" He Yuanchao's mouth opened, and the major glanced at his reserve epaulettes, and without saying anything, he returned to direct the operation.

He Yuanchao's face swelled with a wave of enthusiasm, ashamed and angry.

He understands that the other party looks down on his militia status. The other party is a major anyway, and he has only the rank of captain in the reserve service, and he will be demoted by one level when he is transferred to active duty, but he is actually just a lieutenant and a platoon-level officer. The other party didn't bother to explain to him carefully, and directly used his identity to force him to obey.

"Comrade Major, I am the commander of the first company of the militia. The order we connected to was to rush to the aid of Guogen immediately, this is the order of Commander Geng! You requisitioned the ferry, and we can't cross the river!" He suppressed his anger and negotiated with the other party as calmly as possible.

"The order to build the bridge was also given by Master Geng!" He carried out the name of Commander Geng, and the major hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hand and asked them to use the boat first.

When the militia company crossed the river in two batches, He Yuanchao looked over from the other side and saw that the steel frame on this side had just been completed. The steel frame welded up by four sections is nearly 30 meters long, and there are two flat steel frames of about 40 centimeters below, like a bridge pier holding up the steel frame.

When the militia company descended the zigzag ramp to the embankment and looked down from above, the major smiled and said something to the returning boat bosses, and then asked the guards around him to take out a thick stack of banknotes from their briefcases. The captains of the boat happily accepted the money, and took the initiative to cooperate with the sappers to remove all the roofs above the ferry's cabins, leaving only a flat hull.

Afterwards, several sappers and the boat bosses left the dock with the uncovered ferry and rowed towards the center of the river.

"They are planning to use these three ships as bridge piers to hold the steel frame on the river! It's pretty fast. ”

From the time Feng Aiguo led the guard company to the completion of the militia company's crossing of the river, it took less than half an hour in total, and the engineer company had already welded the steel frame and began to officially build the bridge. He Yuanchao was amazed at the top of the mountain, although he still wanted to continue to watch, but he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he could only give up regretfully. After the team was assembled, he hurried on the road with the whole company and ran along the road in the direction of Guogen County.

There is also a cement factory in Kereng, but they apparently don't use the cement to build roads. This traffic artery leading to the county seat, although the road surface has been widened for the passage of cars, and it has been smoothed a little, but it is still a dirt road, and the road surface is not too flat, and some ruts have been pressed and some water has been accumulated, forming a small puddle.

More than 100 people ran on this road, stepping on the dust. After less than a kilometer, everyone turned into a gray face and slowed down.

The military sub-district said that it was separated from the Northeast Military Region by a river, but in fact it was only connected to the prosperous area of Guogen County.

From Xingwang District to Xishan District, where the county seat is located, it is necessary to bypass Xiaozhong Mountain and Manggang to the east, turn south along the Manggang River and Nitang River, and continuously climb over the Huoshi Mountain at an altitude of 2,000 meters and the Xingga Mountain at an altitude of 1,800 meters, and then turn east to reach it.

The road is about 120 kilometers long, not to mention that the militia is carrying more than 20 kilograms of weight on their faces, and it is impossible to move forward lightly. Even if they don't have so much weight, the militiamen who have never received cross-country training do not have the ability to run from Meng Hongdu to the county seat in one go.

According to He's estimates, it would be good if they would be able to reach the county seat tomorrow night.

As for the guard company led by Feng Aiguo, they had not seen it along the way, and only fresh footprints on the road proved that they had passed here.

This road was the main road leading to the military subdivision, and they saw an endless stream of Guogen people going to the military subdivision on the road. Most of them used to work in the past, and some of them carried burdens full of vegetables, melons, fruits, chickens and ducks, ready to be transported to military sub-districts for sale. Guogen's side did not have enough spending power for the first time, and it was still implementing the policy of the People's Party headquarters, which did not allow the individual economy to be pursued, and seized things to confiscate and accept criticism. Therefore, the common people here secretly grow and raise their own things, and then take things to the military sub-district and sell them for money.

The mountainous area is closed, and the news has not yet reached this side, and they do not know that there has already been a fight in the county seat.

But when they saw the militia company marching rapidly on the road, they did not look surprised at all, but waved to them in a friendly manner.

The common people have their own scales in their hearts, and who is good to them, even if they don't say it, everyone knows it very well in their hearts.

In comparison, they would rather be under the rule of the military division. Therefore, whether these "flower-clothed" soldiers are here for training, or if they have other plans, the common people don't care at all. Maybe some people are secretly happy in their hearts, wishing that they would take the root of the fruit, so that they don't have to do business secretly.

Every hour of marching of the militia company, they stopped to rest for a quarter of an hour, and in this way everyone was also out of breath and exhausted.

From 2 o'clock in the afternoon to the evening, the whole company only walked 50 miles, that is, 25 kilometers, and not even a quarter of it was reached. But everyone had lost their strength, and the water in the kettle had been drunk. If the cadres hadn't stopped it in time, they would have thrown away the heavy bulletproof inserts, gas masks, field tents, and other things that felt useless.

So far, they still haven't seen the shadow of the guard company, and some militiamen are speculating whether the two sides have missed the fork in the road.

It seemed to them that they had fought for their lives, and even if the guards were faster than them, they would not be a single slower. According to common sense, there will always be some guys who are dragging their feet in a collective, like cooking soldiers, clerks or something, it is impossible to receive such intense training like soldiers, and there should always be one or two left behind, how can they not see a single one along the way?

"Lian...... Company commander, let's find a vacancy here...... Let's camp on the spot! The deputy company commander sweated down from his head like water, his entire collar was soaked with sweat, and he crossed his waist and asked He Yuanchao for instructions, "Comrades really can't run, if they continue like this, I'm afraid that before they reach the county seat, a few people will die of exhaustion." ”

"That'...... Okay, first, find an open space and set up your tent! He Yuanchao was also a little unbearable, wiping the sweat on his chin that couldn't be wiped clean, and panting.

After they were separated from the regular troops, the intensity of their training was much lower than that of the troops.

Although basic training is still maintained, it is no longer comparable to the soldiers of the regular army, and the physical strength is gradually moving closer to that of the militia.

Twenty-five kilometers of cross-country, even if fully armed, used to be about three hours on the troops.

But now they ran from two o'clock to seven o'clock, and it was dark before they finished the journey. And everyone has exhausted their physical strength, and it will certainly be impossible to maintain a rapid march tomorrow. He Yuanchao was a little anxious in his heart, at this speed, when would they be able to reach the county seat?

Doodle!

Just as He Yuanchao sent people to search the surroundings and look for a camping spot, he heard a car horn sounding on the road. Immediately, a series of headlights cut through the darkness and swayed with the undulations of the road.

Where did this fleet come from?

He Yuanchao was suspicious in his heart, and stood on the side of the road, found a high ground, raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the headlights.

"Our convoy is our convoy!"

He couldn't see the convoy sign clearly illuminated by the dazzling headlights, but the militiamen who were lying on the ground were already jumping up excitedly, cheering and waving to the side.

The convoy approached quickly, and you could see that all the cars had turned on their headlights as if they were on their own turf.

Crunch!

A jeep stopped next to the hill where He Yuanchao was standing, and an officer jumped out of the car, looked up at the stunned He Yuanchao, and mocked: "I said that you should give me the ferry, and you also carried out Master Geng to pressure me, so I had to rush to cross the river." The result? You've been running all afternoon with your little arms and legs, and you've exhausted yourself like a dead dog! It took us two hours to build the pontoon, and we caught up with it in the car for an hour, so we might as well wait by the river! Cut, I really don't know the hearts of good people! With your two thin legs, I don't think it's too late to catch up with the battle until I die. How about taking our fleet of equipment? I'll send you off, and I promise to arrive in the county seat tonight! ”

This triumphant guy is the major who commanded the construction of the pontoon bridge by the river!
