Chapter 400 Forward! Forward! Forward!

The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and heavier, as if they were going to be pressed down at any moment.

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

The turbid waves in the valley are still surging, rolling, roaring, and tireless.

"Bang ......"

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed on the wooden bridge deck, hurried and dull, and the soldiers of the broken army had already withdrawn, but Liu Heishui took more than a dozen brothers to step on the bridge deck and rushed to the opposite bank.

"Squeak...... Squeak......"

The vigorous movement caused the drawbridge to gently sway from side to side in the air.

"Hurry up and ......"

Liu Heishui rushed to the opposite bank in the first place, and quickly arranged the task, "one shift to dismantle rattan, two shifts and three shifts to dismantle wood......

"Yes!"

The brothers agreed, and hurriedly took action - tear down the bridge!

When it comes to bridging, success is completely replicable!

Remove the cables, rattans, and wood straps from this suspension bridge, and it will be used for the next bridge.

"Squeak...... Squeak......"

One by one, the rattans were untied, and the logs were carried back to the bridge...... A suspension bridge soon turned into three empty ziplines, dangling leisurely over the river valley.

"Attention, attention......"

Suddenly, Liu Heishui's high-pitched shout sounded at the bridgehead on the opposite bank, "It's time to untie the cable, it's time to untie the cable......"

"Whew...... Snap ......"

The top cable fell suddenly, slamming into the turbid waves of the river, splashing in all directions.

"Woo ......"

After a while, Liu Heishui slid down the cable below.

As for the two cables below, since the other side is connected, you can recover them from this side by untying the wood and rattan that hold the ropes together.

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

As soon as Liu Heishui jumped down from the tree, thunder sounded in the sky.

It's going to rain again, and the follow-up work can only wait.

"Turtle's,"

Li Siwei shook his head helplessly, swept away the generals, "Arrange camping immediately...... I have to stay in this mountain for the night! ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

As soon as Li Siwei's words fell, the raindrops the size of beans had already fallen, making the branches and leaves scream.

At the beginning of the night, the rain stopped abruptly, and then piles of bonfires were lit, slowly burning brightly, illuminating the camp, and the bright light of the fire penetrated through the cracks in the branches and leaves above the dense forest, painting the gloomy night sky with a faint red.

With the lesson of last night, each bonfire was full of dead branches, and the brothers were arranged to take turns to add firewood at night.

A faint bonfire burned under the roots of a large tree in the center of the camp, and Li Siwei sat next to the fire, and Wu Ruolan lay in his arms, and soft whispers wafted in the air.

People in distress need solace even more!

Not far away by a campfire, Fucha Morgen sat against the roots of a tree, holding a bayonet in one hand and a wooden plank that had begun to take shape in the other, cutting hard, with a focused face.

In front of him, there was a pile of wood more than a foot long, some of which were still bowl-thick logs, and some of which had been cut into planks of inches thick.

Beside him, Wu Tianyou and several brothers were also working hard to cut wood, and the atmosphere was silent.

The same scene was played out in the camps of the Special Service Company and the 1st Battalion......

"Snort...... Sneer......"

The sound of blades slicing through hard logs wafted softly through the silent forest.

In the early morning of May 16, the sky in northern Myanmar was still overcast as if it were about to drip water.

The camp of the 66th Regiment was still brightly lit, and on a slightly spacious forest space (clearing in the forest) in the northwest corner of the camp, a huge pile of firewood had been stacked, and more than 30 bodies were neatly placed on the pile of firewood more than half a person high, neatly dressed, and the ointment on the face had been cleaned, and the face was peaceful.

Li Siwei stood solemnly in front of the firewood pile, his eyes slowly swept over the remains, and his eyes slowly moistened.

All the soldiers gathered around, stretching along the clearing in the forest into the distance, and those who were close looked closely at the pile of firewood and the remains placed on it, and those who were far away also looked closely in the direction of the firewood, but the sadness contained in those eyes was just as heavy.

Brothers, go all the way......

This is the final goodbye!

Life and death are separated!

"Snort......"

Liu Tianfu lit the match, lit the torch in his hand, and gently handed it to Li Siwei, "Regiment Commander......"

Li Siwei silently took the torch and slowly stretched out to the fire hole reserved under the firewood pile......

"Ho ho ...... Ho Ho ......"

The flames spread rapidly in the firewood pile, jumping up and down, jubilantly.

"Smack......

Li Siwei folded his legs and saluted.

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

The surrounding brothers saluted.

"Ho ho ...... Ho Ho ......"

There was silence and solemnity in the forest, only the flames were still beating and screaming, heartless and heartless!

In a short time, curling green smoke rose from the fire, broke through the dense foliage above the jungle, rushed into the gloomy sky, and continued to rush higher......

Perhaps, when they reach a high enough place, the heroic spirits of the soldiers will be able to see their homeland!

I don't know how long later, the revelry of flames slowly fell, and the green smoke gradually became faint and finally dissipated, leaving only a pile of ashes on the ground, and the carbonized bones lying quietly in the ashes.

"Bang...... Snap ......"

Fucha Morgen, Wu Tianyou, Huang Hua, Sun Dali...... One by one, the generals walked up slowly with the urns that had been made overnight, and their steps were heavy.

Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned!

Perhaps feeling the sorrow rising to the sky in the dense forest, God wet his eyes again.

"......

The raindrops fell, and it was noticeably gentler.

"Brothers,"

The sound of rain over the dense forest was "dripping", and in the dense forest, Li Siwei's voice echoed in the camp, heavy but firm, "Now, we have come here, to the hinterland of the jungle in northern Myanmar, but it is still only the periphery of the Hukang River Valley...... Stand back, the little devil is already waiting for the net; Forward, poisonous insects and beasts are everywhere, and miasma swamps are densely ......"

"Forward ......"

Before Li Siwei finished speaking, an impassioned voice sounded in the crowd, "We want to move forward, the 66th Regiment must move forward, and we will always move forward......

"Onward! Forward! Let's move forward! The 66th Regiment must move forward and always move forward......"

Immediately, echoing the sound of harmony came and went, shaking the mountains, soaring into the sky, echoing for a long time, "Forward!" Forward! Forward ......"

"Onward!"

As soon as the call dissipated, Li Siwei's passionate voice sounded again, resounding through the river valley, "Take the ashes of your brothers and pick up your injured brothers...... Forward! Forward! Keep moving forward! ”

"......

The rain kept falling, but it couldn't stop the soldiers from advancing.

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

Passing through the dense forest and turning to the back of the mountain, there is still a violent torrent rushing in the valley below.

"Bang bang bang...... Click...... Squeak......"

The sound of logging resounded through the valley, and trees fell with a wail, and soon a clearing was revealed.

"Hurry, hurry...... Set up a trebuchet and find a stone ......"

"Hurry, hurry...... Coiled the rope ......"

The officers and men of the direct company and the supply company came in a hurry and quickly got busy.

"Whew...... Whoa...... Rumble......"

Not long after, a boulder weighing 100 catties dragged its long tail into the air, flew over the river valley thirty or fifty zhang wide, and smashed into the dense forest on the hillside on the opposite bank.

"Whew...... Snap ......"

The cable lost traction and plummeted, splashing all over the sky.

"Pull ......"

Immediately, a burst of shouts rang out.

"Hey...... Hey......"

In the low and majestic sound of the horn, the cable that was submerged in the turbid waves quickly revealed the surface of the water and gradually tightened!

"Hey...... Hey......"

More than a dozen brothers are still struggling to pull.

"That's it!"

Liu Heishui, who was on the side, tightly pressed against the straightened cable, and suddenly waved his hand, "Don't have a problem...... Fix it! ”

As he spoke, Liu Heishui checked the rattan tied to his waist again, waved his big hand, and walked to a boulder in front of him, "It's time for the old men to ......."

"Okay......"

A dozen or so short, lean brothers said yes and followed.

This time the situation is different from the last time - there is no one on the other side!

Therefore, there must be a brother who climbs along the cable first and secures the rope.

Standing on the boulder more than three feet high, Liu Heishui carefully put the rope around his waist on the cable, and then, "Bah...... Bah......", he took two mouthfuls in his palm, rubbed it hard, and then grabbed the cable and struggled to climb to the opposite bank, as light as a spirit ape.

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

The turbid waves churned in the river valley, like an evil dragon waiting with its mouth open, quietly waiting for Liu Heishui, who was crumbling on the cable, to fall.

The eyes of all the soldiers followed Liu Heishui's figure and slowly moved forward and ...... Until Liu Heishui's figure completely disappeared into the dense branches and leaves on the opposite bank.

"The cable is tied to ......"

Not long after, Liu Heishui's high-pitched roar sounded in the dense forest on the opposite bank, "The cable is tied...... Come on, brother in the back...... Come on, brother in the back......"

"Go ......"

One by one, more than a dozen brothers climbed the boulder, put rattans on the cables, and began to climb to the opposite side.

More than a dozen brothers clung to the rope and struggled to crawl towards the opposite bank, and the rope fell down as if it were about to break at any moment.

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

Looking at this scene overhead, the dragon in the river valley roared wildly, salivating.

However, no brother missed, and more than a dozen brothers successfully climbed to the opposite bank, and quickly moved into action, and soon found a large tree suitable for building a bridge and pulled up the zipline.

Then, just as it had been the last time, a suspension bridge appeared in the ancient valley.

The first battalion passed, the second battalion passed, the wounded passed, the direct company passed......

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

When the thunder rang out again, all the troops passed without a hitch.

"Turtle's,"

Li Siwei raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and looked up at the generals, "It's still early, take shelter from the rain, just let the brothers rest......"

"Okay!"

The generals agreed, "It's time for the rain to stop after the rest ......"

When the rain stopped, we were able to continue our journey and continue to build bridges...... Keep going, moving forward!

The rain in the jungle is intermittent, sometimes violent, sometimes gentle, sometimes blank, sometimes penetrating......

While the river valley where the 66th Regiment was pouring rain, the swampy area in the hinterland of the Hukang River Valley had already rained and sunny, and the sun showed its haggard face in space and sprinkled the yellow sun.

It is difficult to navigate the mountainous terrain where mountains and rivers are raging, but it is also difficult to trek through swamps filled with poisonous insects.

"Bang ......"

In a dense forest filled with mist, a team of twenty or thirty people was trudging forward through muddy water.

"Whew...... Whoop......"

Three or five people in front of him opened the way, followed by a stretcher, followed by a brother carrying half a bag of grain, and the others were tightly guarded around, and the sound of rapid breathing came and went, which seemed particularly heavy in the silent forest.

"Pop ......"

Suddenly, the two brothers carrying the stretcher fell into the mud together, and the stretcher and the wounded on the stretcher fell to the side, and the mud was splashed.

"Company Commander, Company Commander......"

Suddenly, there were exclamations, and the surrounding brothers rushed over in a hurry, hurriedly helped the wounded man who was covered in mud, and carried him back to the stretcher.

That's their company commander, the top commander of this team.

"Company Commander ......"

The two brothers who fell down also hurriedly got up, and stumbled over without bothering to wipe the mud off their faces, looking at the company commander who was smashed into mud, he was anxious and guilty, and hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe the mud on the company commander's face, "Company commander, company commander...... You're not going to do anything, are you? It's all to blame on us...... It's all to blame on us......"

"Two ...... Two fools! Bite...... How do you wipe it clean? ”

The company commander with a muddy face looked at the two and smiled hard, "Brothers, are ...... I'm tired, look for ...... Find a place to rest! ”

"Yes! ......"

The brothers hurriedly agreed, and the sharp-eyed ones had already shouted in surprise, "There is a hillside ahead, there should be a dry forest......

"That's it...... Go there! ”

The company commander's smile became even worse, and his voice became lighter, "Meet ...... Encounter a hillside is not ...... It's not easy! ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that the company commander's spirit suddenly improved, everyone smiled and agreed, "Dog, this place is full of mud, and I don't know how God made it......"

With that, the group hurried out of the quagmire, climbed up the hillside, found a dry place, and put Lian An under a big tree.

"Zhou Wenhua, you take a few brothers to look around to see the situation," hurriedly put Lian An under a big tree, and a second lieutenant arranged the work, "Pan Keqin, you take a few brothers to find water; Mountain baby, you look at the company commander; The others came back with me to find some dry firewood...... Holy shit, it's finally time to have a hot meal today! ”

"Okay,"

The brothers agreed and hurried away, and soon, only Shanwazi and the company commander were left under the tree.

"Company Commander,"

The mountain girl climbed to the thick roots of the tree and carefully cleaned up the vines and moss on the trunk, "Wait until I clean it up carefully, I'm afraid there will be drought locusts!" ”

"Mountain Baby,"

The company commander sat under the root of the tree, and his voice was faintly sad, "In my life, I can meet a brother like you...... That's great! ”

"Company Commander,"

Shan Wazi didn't notice anything unusual, his subordinates didn't stop, and there was a simple smile in his voice, "You used to be good to us!" I remember ......"

"Bang ......"

Before Shan Wazi finished speaking, he heard a gunshot behind him, and he was startled, and hurriedly jumped down the tree, but saw that the company commander's right hand was hanging weakly, the muzzle of the box gun in his hand had not dispersed, and his chest was already red with blood......

"Company commander!"

Shan Wazi hurriedly pounced, desperately covering the company commander's chest, trying to put the surging fresh blood pressure back, "Company commander...... How can you do that? How can you do that...... Woohoo......"

"Uh......"

The company commander groaned in pain, opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the mountain baby with a shocked face, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in his difficult voice, "Hehe, I'm sick...... Don't use it...... I can't even lift a gun......"

"Company Commander ......"

Before the company commander's words fell, the second lieutenant ran back desperately with a few brothers, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly pounced, tears were already rolling down, "Company commander, we can carry you out!" We can carry you out......"

"National Maintenance ......"

The company commander's expression suddenly burst into brightness, staring closely at the second lieutenant officer who rushed in front of him, and there seemed to be a little more strength in his voice, "Take the brothers out, go out...... Forward...... Forward ......"

The voice gradually fell low and became inaudible, and the light in his eyes had dissipated, but his eyes were still wide open.

Forward! Forward......

Who wouldn't want to return home? Who wouldn't want to go home?

However, Lao Tzu can't walk!

I can't keep dragging my brothers down!

"Company Commander,"

Guowei raised his hand lightly and closed his eyes for the company commander, as if whispering, but firm as iron, "Don't worry, I will continue to move forward with my brothers, and ...... forward"
