At the dam at the entrance of the village, the brothers worked together, and in a short time, several raging fires were burning, and the brothers drank hot water together, ate the last dry food, and roasted clothes that had been killed by dew, sweat, and other waters......

The wounded were taken to the lobby in the ancestral hall by the chief of security, where they took shelter from the wind and rested on the fire, and as for the treatment of the nurse and the little girl, they were taken into the house by the aunts and aunts in the village, changed into clean peasant clothes, and rested in drinking water, and some nurses were even washing their clothes, ready to wait for them to dry and then put them on......

"Captain, the villagers' fishing boats have arrived, but they are all very small, and one boat can carry up to two brothers across the river. As for the horses, I guess don't think about it......" Yang Xiaoshi said,

"How many fishing boats are there? How long do we have to transport people and materials? He Jianye asked,

"There are a lot of boats, and almost every house has a fishing boat. But it's too small! Yang Xiaoshi said,

"So, find a few brothers who are good at water, and let the fishermen help you to see if you can build a pontoon bridge on the Hun River? The narrowest part of the river is less than 70 meters, and the river surface is also calm; Take a pontoon bridge. He Jianye said,

"But what about the materials? We don't have anything! Yang Xiaoshi said,

"You go with me to the chief of security, try to solve it from the village, it's nothing to give more money. By the way, how far is the reconnaissance post that was released? He Jianye asked,

"It's all been released for at least two kilometers." Yang Xiaoshi said,

He Jianye took Yang Xiaoshi to the ancestral hall and found Lao Li Tou, He Jianye said to Lao Li Tou,

"Old man, there may be something you need help with." He Jianye said,

"Sir, you just command." Lao Li Tou has also become better at talking,

"In this way, the villagers here are very helpful, and there are many fishing boats, but there is a little bit! You know, old man, we have equipment and horses for our team to cross the river, and you can see if you can help find some thick ropes and planks, and I will ask the brothers to borrow wooden boats to build a pontoon bridge, which will be much faster. Of course, we will pay for the additional planks and rope materials. He Jianye said,

"Sir, don't say that; You have given 500 oceans, and each family can basically divide more than ten oceans, which is enough for us to earn a year, sir, wait a minute, I will let them take out the ropes, and you can do what you say. It doesn't matter if the wooden planks are not there, I told them to remove the door panels, and I have to let the chief get the pontoon bridge ready, sir, wait......" Lao Li Tou shouted all the way to the gong and drum, without much effort, with the help of the villagers, hundreds of meters of rope and a large number of door panels were concentrated on the side of the Huhe River outside Shiyang Village, and the brothers of the guard company began to build the pontoon bridge with the help of fishermen......

"Zeng Da, how long does it take to build?" He Jianye asked,

"The materials are readily available, but the brothers have no experience, and I estimate that it will take at least three hours." Zeng Da said,

"Try to speed up as much as possible, the devil won't give us that much time, maybe the devil behind us is already chasing this way now." He Jianye said,

"Sir, we can walk after the pontoon bridge is built, but what about the villagers here? The devil must be angry with them! Zeng Da said,

"I'll go talk to the security chief, if you want to go with us, we'll take them to Vortex, and if you don't want to, let them avoid as much as possible!" He Jianye said,

In the ancestral hall of Shiyang Village, He Jianye sat opposite Lao Li Tou and said to Lao Li Tou,

"Old man, we came from Xuzhou, the Japanese have been attacking in the area of Chaoxuyang, we also met the Japanese devils last night, I am afraid that you will be retaliated by the Japanese devils after we leave, you see if you organize the villagers to cross the river with us, go to Wuyang, where is the national army. It's so unsafe here. ”

"Sir, the craft of fishing that has been passed down from generation to generation, as well as these lands, we will go with you, what do we live on when we go to Wuyang? It's not that the little old man is willing to be obedient to the Japanese! It's really gone, maybe we and our children and grandchildren may not be able to come back, let's go! When people come from Japan, we will hide, they are all men who eat on the water, and if they can hide, when the Japanese wind passes, we will come back. Old man Li shook his head and said,

"Old man, the Japanese don't blink an eye when they kill people! In the vicinity of Xuzhou, the Japanese are not soft-hearted, they have all been stabbed, and there are slaughtered villages everywhere! The old man ......" He Jianye tried his best to talk about the current situation of some of the villages he passed,

"Sir, we'll hide, we'll go out and hide when you're gone. The life left by our ancestors for generations is fundamental, and I dare not lose it! Old man Li shook his head and said,

"Hey! Old man, I hope you take care! He Jianye shook his head and walked out of the ancestral hall,

"Commander, there are two horses that may not work, the two that have been carrying arms for a long time." A brethren from a company of guards came and said,

"Have you told the old people in the village to see it?" He Jianye said,

"I've seen it, and said that I'm tired, there is no concentrate and medicinal materials, this horse can't be saved, and the rest of our situation is similar, and it is estimated that it will be enough to ......choke for two days at most."

"Kill and eat meat, stew it at noon, and send some to the villagers." He Jianye waved his hand,

The nurses and the wounded were in good spirits after a morning rest, and the brethren of the guard and reconnaissance companies were taking turns to keep watch and repair the pontoons, and although they had little time to rest, they were much better than a long march, and they could always find time to rest for a few minutes......

11 a.m. The aroma of horse meat spread throughout the village, the pontoon bridge was basically completed, and the villagers brought hot multigrain buns and boiled sweet potatoes, potatoes and other things.......

At half past eleven o'clock in the morning, the happy time was over, and He Jianye shouted,

"Assemble and get ready to go."

The wounded, the brothers of the guard company and the reconnaissance company stood neatly on the dam, and He Jianye asked Lao Li for the last time,

"Old man, we're leaving, are you and the villagers really not going with us?"

"Sir, as long as you can live, everyone is willing to leave their hometowns......" Lao Li said with a wry smile,

"Zeng Da, take another 500 oceans out." He Jianye roared,

"Yes"

"Commander, here you go." Zeng Da brought a bag of ocean and put it in front of He Jianye,

"Folks, thank you for your help, in the war years, food is more expensive than ocean gold, today we eat your food, I'm afraid there is no way to pay you back; Only use the ocean to talk about the heart. Old man, this bag of ocean is left for you, please help distribute it! He Jianye said to the villagers and Lao Litou,

"Brethren, it was our fathers and fellow villagers who helped us when we were hungry and cold. Remember, they are the ones who help us with their lives, and they are the ones we are going to protect with our lives. All of them! Salute! ”

"Smack!" He Jianye turned around with a standard military salute and ...... towards the villagers

A minute later, He Jianye shouted,

"After the salute, let's go!"

The procession began to move towards the pontoon bridge at Shiyang Ferry, with a platoon of the reconnaissance company leading the horses across the river, and in the middle the brothers carrying the seriously wounded and supporting the lightly wounded......

He Jianye walked last, waved to the villagers who saw him off, and strode onto the pontoon bridge.......
