Chapter 399: Crossing the First River Valley

On the morning of May 15, the sky over northern Myanmar was still overcast, and it was terribly overcast.

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

The torrent in the valley is still surging, tumbling, and rushing wildly.

"Brothers on the other side ......"

The high-pitched shouts echoed in the river valley, becoming a means of communication between the troops on both sides of the strait, "Brothers on the other side...... The regimental commander prepares to build a bridge...... The regimental commander prepares to build a bridge...... Let you prepare some rattan and wood...... Let you prepare rattan and wood......"

"Received...... Received ......"

Immediately, a high-pitched reply sounded from the other side, "We'll go and prepare right away...... We'll get ready right away......

The shouting stopped abruptly, the communication ended, and then the various departments hurriedly took action and began the vigorous bridging work.

There are three aspects of bridging: first, choosing the right location; second, prepare the required materials; Third, overcome the technical problems encountered in the specific construction.

Of course, this order is not immutable, and if there are enough people, all three can be done at the same time!

Naturally, the 66th Regiment was not short of manpower, so as soon as Li Siwei gave the order, all the units took separate actions.

On the left bank, the officers of the 1st and 2nd companies were collecting rattan in the reckless dense forest, the soldiers of the 3rd company were weaving cables with rattan and backpack ropes in the camp, the soldiers of the special service company were looking for suitable places to build bridges along the river valley, and the soldiers of the direct company were cutting down trees in the dense forest near the bottom of the river valley.

At the same time, the soldiers of the right bank also went out one after another, collecting rattan and rattan, and cutting down trees.

For a time, the ancient river valley that had been inaccessible for thousands of years was completely boiling.

"This place,"

In the camp, Li Siwei was inspecting a section of cable that had been braided, looking at the joints one by one, looking very carefully, pointing out the existing problems from time to time, and patiently demonstrating to the brothers of the third company, "This rope should pass through the inside, and then wrap around like this...... In this way, the structure will be more stable......"

In any case, Li Siwei was also an engineering bachelor in his previous life, and his understanding of structure and force is somewhat deeper than that of ordinary people.

"Commander,"

At this time, Liu Heiwa came in a hurry, with a happy face, "Found it, we have found a good place suitable for building bridges!" ”

"Okay,"

Li Siwei perked up and looked back at Lu Quanyou, "Quanyou, let the brothers work hard to get the three cables done as soon as possible...... In this dog's day, I'm afraid the rain will start to fall again soon! ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Siwei hurriedly took a step and followed Acton!

The valley was a slightly narrower stretch about two miles to the left of the camp, where the Special Service Company had found the bridge.

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

The river valley suddenly narrowed, but the water became very turbulent, and the turbid waves crashed against the cliffs on both sides, splashing the water, but there was a bit of "waves crashing on the shore" momentum.

"Click, click, click......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Huang Hua and Sun Dali were leading their brothers to clear the obstacles around them, brandishing bayonets one by one, throwing off their arms and working hard.

"Commander, this is ...... here"

Suddenly, Liu Heiwa's voice sounded in the dense forest, and immediately, his slightly thin figure was revealed, and Li Siwei followed closely behind.

"Commander......"

Huang Hua and Sun Dali hurriedly stopped their work and hurriedly greeted them.

"It's a nice place,"

Li Siwei glanced at the two of them with a smile, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction, "According to this height, the straight-line distance between this place and the opposite bank will not exceed two hundred meters, which can save a lot of materials, and the height from the valley floor after the bridge is erected should not exceed four meters, which can make the brothers who are afraid of heights ...... Hehe, less hassle. ”

Fear of heights is the primitive fear of human beings, a manifestation of self-preservation, and it is common to all kinds of people, even in the ranks of the 66th Regiment, there are inevitably soldiers who are afraid of heights.

On weekdays, fear of heights does not cause much harm, but at this time it is a great hidden danger, so Li Siwei is not worried.

"Are there really so many benefits?"

Listening to Li Siwei's words, Sun Dali's face was full of surprise, and he turned his head and pointed to the dense forest behind him, "I just look at those three big trees, just like the way you put them with sticks......"

"Uh......"

Li Siwei froze for a moment, and hurriedly followed Sun Dali's fingers, and saw three big trees, the first two were only three or five meters apart, and the third one could be seen through the gap in the middle...... All three trees are the thickness of a washbasin and have a dense canopy.

"That's it!"

After looking at it, Li Siwei waved his hand, and he was full of righteousness, "Heiwa, immediately notify the direct company and the first battalion ......"

The main purpose of direct logging is to solve a technical problem - pull through the first cable!

The bridge was built according to Li Siwei's idea, but Li Siwei did not have the technical knowledge to build the bridge, so everything could only be explored.

For example, the first technical problem - how to pull through three cables, in this regard, Li Siwei's idea is: use a catapult to throw the cable to the opposite bank, as long as one cable is successfully pulled, the rest of the work will be done!

This may be a stupid solution, but a stupid solution is also a solution, and it is much better than nothing!

After being informed, Fucha Morgen and Wu Tianyou hurried over with a team, along with some wood that had already been processed.

"Brother Fucha,"

Li Siwei hurriedly greeted him and solemnly asked Fucha Morgen's opinion, "Look at it, what other places need to be cleaned up?" ”

In Li Siwei's view, throwing one end of the cable across the river valley with a trebuchet is the most critical and difficult part of the bridge building process.

"Hmmm......"

Fucha Morgen looked around and pointed to the sides, "The space is still a little small, the trees on both sides need to be cut down a little more......"

"Gotta get it!"

Without waiting for Li Siwei's instructions, Sun Dali turned around and left, "I'll take someone to cut ......."

At the same time, Liu Heishui also took the brothers of the supply company to clear the obstacles on the opposite bank.

The site for the bridge has been chosen, preparations are in full swing, and the dark clouds in the sky are getting heavier and heavier.

"I'm going to see how the cable looks......"

Li Siwei looked up at the sky, left in a hurry after saying a word.

The heavy rain is coming, and the soldiers of the 66th Regiment are fighting for time.

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

Only the torrent in the valley is still rushing heartlessly.

"Quick, send it over!"

In the camp, Li Siwei came in a hurry, just in time for the completion of the first cable, and hurriedly checked it again, and urged the brothers to send it to the front.

"Okay!"

The brothers agreed, and then hurriedly ran out of the camp with a cable more than 200 meters thick and thin at their wrists, and went straight to the bridge building site.

Li Siwei picked up the second cable, which had already been completed for the most part, and carefully checked it, with a focused face.

"Bang...... Rumble ......"

Just as the second cable was finished, the explosion thundered steeply.

"Oh my God!"

Li Siwei continued to bury his head in checking the last paragraph, but his mouth was scolding angrily, "You turtle can't wait any longer?" ”

"Uh......"

Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers looked strange, but they didn't dare to interject, so they had to hold it hard.

"That's it!"

Li Siwei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Quick, send it up, there are two cables, and the direct company can start to work......"

"Bang...... Rumble ......"

The sky exploded with thunder.

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

The waves crashed against the shore at the bottom of the mountain.

"Hurry up and ......"

On the mountainside, the platform that had just been cleaned up was urging, and all the soldiers were busy.

"Report, the cable connection is complete......"

"Report, the tail of the cable has been secured......"

"Report, trebuchet ready ......"

All the soldiers reported one after another.

Report ......

A high-pitched shout rang out on the other side, but it was already two miles upstream, "Report...... All of our units have been evacuated...... Our department has been evacuated ......"

"Good!"

Hearing the shouts from the other side, Fucha Morgen, who was standing behind the trebuchet, suddenly raised his big hand, "Ready...... Launch ......"

"Click......

With a crisp sound, the trebuchet suddenly opened.

"Hoo ......"

The trebuchet's arms slammed up.

"Whew......"

A boulder as large as a basin rose from the trebuchet's bucket and dragged out a long tail.

"Hiss ......"

The pile of cables coiled next to the trebuchet stretched out with a slight grinding sound.

"Bang...... Rumble ......"

The thunder rang out again, deafening.

However, the soldiers still raised their heads high, staring closely at the boulder that rose into the air, and although their faces were painted with flowers, they could not hide their nervousness.

"Whoa...... Bang ......"

The boulder dragged its long tail into the air, and then quickly fell, and in the nervous eyes of the soldiers, it suddenly smashed into the dense forest on the opposite bank, smashing the broken branches and leaves in all directions.

"Smack......

The thick cable lost its traction and slammed limply into the torrent, splashing everywhere.

"It's done...... It became ......"

Cheers rang out one after another, and soon they came together and shook the mountains.

"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"

The soldiers had not yet recovered from their ecstasy, and the rain had come suddenly.

"Dog Day ......"

Suddenly, the shouting and scolding came one after another, and it sounded into a one.

"Don't worry, take shelter from the rain first!"

Li Siwei's roar was brisk, "The rain on dog days is heavy, and it hurts when it hits your body!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly found a rain cloth to put on, and hid in the dense forest next to it, and as long as the rain was light, they rushed out and continued to dry, and soon pulled the first cable.

The rain in the jungles of northern Myanmar was heavy, but it also came and lived quickly, and by noon, the sky actually peeked out of half of the sun's smiling face.

"Commander, it's okay!"

Looking up at the sky, Huang Hua looked at Li Siwei, and a pair of eyes flashed with light, "It's so big, Lao Tzu has also done ziplines!" ”

"Old way,"

Li Siwei looked at Huang Hua deeply, "Be careful......

"Don't worry!"

Huang Hua smiled nonchalantly, raised his hand and pointed to the zipline hanging over the river valley, and then pointed to the river surface in the river valley, "At most, four meters high......

For ordinary people, four meters tall is already very high, and falling down will never kill people, but this height is not a matter for Huanghua!

"Turtle's,"

Li Siwei scolded with a smile and patted Huang Hua's shoulder, "Go!" ”

"Yes!"

Huang Hua saluted, turned around and left, walked to the big tree on the left, jumped on the tree more than one meter high with his feet, quickly tied the rope around his waist, grabbed the two cable heads hanging on the tree and jumped out.

"Slow down!"

All the soldiers saw that their hearts were tight, and Sun Dali couldn't help but shout, "You turtle ......"

"Whoosh......"

Before Sun Dali's words fell, Huang Hua's figure had rushed to the opposite bank like an arrow from the string along the zipline.

"Hoo ......"

The wind was whistling in his ears, his body was flying in the void, Huang Hua only felt a pride of flying against the wind surging from the bottom of his heart, and when he opened his mouth, there was a long howl, "Ah......"

Then it turned into a violent coughing sound, "cough cough cough...... Uh-ahem-cough-cough......"

"Turtle's,"

The soldiers were full of envy when they heard the long whistle, but the coughing sound that followed turned their envy into schadenfreude, "making your dog's day proud......

Born as a human being, who doesn't have a dream of flying through the sky?

"Commander Huang,"

Seeing Huang Hua gliding smoothly through the zipline, Liu Heishui hurriedly took over the two cable heads in his hand, his face full of concern, "It's okay!" ”

"Very good...... Ahem......"

Huang Huafeng waved his hand lightly, but he couldn't suppress the cough, so he had to smile awkwardly, "Turtle's, this wind ...... It's too big......"

"Poof...... Poof......"

The crowd under the tree burst into laughter.

Either way, the three cables were pulled up smoothly, and the rest of the process was much faster.

Liu Heishui took the brothers of the supply company to the bridge that was beginning to take shape, and the logs were paved one by one, and the bridge deck quickly extended to the opposite bank, and then fixed them one by one with the prepared rattan...... In a short time, a suspension bridge connecting the two sides of the valley was completed.

"Cross the river!"

Standing at the head of the bridge and looking at the erected suspension bridge, Li Siwei only felt a sense of pride surging from the bottom of his heart, and turned around and swept the generals behind him, "Take the platoon as a unit, and the fish will pass through......

After all, the materials were discounted, and Li Siwei was somewhat worried about the quality of the bridge.

In the eyes of all the soldiers, a row of brothers rushed in and stepped on the suspension bridge.

At first, many of the brothers clung to the hanging rattan sticks next to them, walking on thin ice.

After walking for a while, all the brothers let go of the rattans, and their steps were much faster, and there were even laughter wafting on the bridge.

"Turtle's, it's quite sturdy......"

"Hehe, it feels pretty comfortable......"

"It's just, wobbly, it feels like ...... It's like...... Which what! ”

"Cai Huazi, don't show off your turtle's culture! It's called 'Walking on the Clouds'......"

"Cui Erpole, didn't you just read a few more broken books? When the battle is over, Lao Tzu will also go back to study......"

Listening to the laughter floating on the bridge, the laughter quietly bloomed at the corner of Li Siwei's mouth, "Turtles, one by one, they still have the heart to fight, it seems that this bridge is quite stable!" ”

"Not only steady,"

Lu Quanyou's voice was also full of excitement, "It's still fast!" ”

"Oh...... Oh...... We're coming......"

As soon as Lu Quanyou's words fell, the other side resounded with earth-shattering cheers.

In just five or six minutes, the more than 30 brothers in a row had successfully reached the opposite bank, and it took only more than ten seconds for an average person, which was indeed very fast.

Hearing the cheers on the other side, the brothers in the second row immediately stepped onto the bridge deck......

Just when the 66th Regiment crossed the bridge one after another, the sun shyly hid behind the dark clouds and entered the rainy season.
