In the face of Huang Jie's madness, Jiang Haoran was light-hearted, smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Dayun, don't worry, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to do things one by one, how to open the Japanese defense line, we will go back to the headquarters to discuss, now we only discuss how to cross this river." ”

Jiang Haoran ignored Huang Jie after speaking, handed the telescope in his hand to the Mao worker, and asked the Mao worker to see where to build the pontoon bridge and how to build the pontoon bridge.

Mao Gong took the telescope and said with a smile: "General seat, don't look, I have observed here hundreds of times, where the water flow is the most urgent, where the river is the narrowest, and where the water is the deepest are all in my mind, you just tell me when this pontoon bridge will be built?" ”

"Hehe, this way, about twenty days, that is, when the rainy season is about to end."

"Ah, about twenty days? Nowhere else, there's no such possibility. ”

Jiang Haoran naturally knew that the water of the Inouaddy River was running rapidly, so he brought the expert of the Mao Gong, hoping that he could turn the decay into magic, although the Mao Gong's answer was simple and thorough, but Jiang Haoran still did not give up, "Mao Gong, whether we can build a pontoon bridge is very important to us, you must think of a way, no matter what, I will drive the troops across the river in twenty days." ”

Mao Gong was also anxious, and said: "General seat, it's not that I don't want to do it, but it's impossible, the Three Gorges you know, that's the most urgent place in the Yangtze River, and the flow rate is only two to three meters per second, but here is at least three times that of the Three Gorges, and the water flow per second is more than 100,000 cubic meters, it is not too much to say that its goose feathers are sinking to the bottom, and the floating buckets, boat operators and other equipment will be swept away immediately on the water, not to mention twenty days, even if it is after the rainy season, it will take another ten or twenty days. It is only possible to build a pontoon bridge on the river when the water is almost drained upstream. ”

Seeing that Mao Gong said so deadly, Jiang Haoran's brows were deeply locked, and he began to pace back and forth in the house, no one knew what his idea was, and no one knew why he was so eager to cross the river, so everyone didn't know where to start, so they just stared at Jiang Haoran and walked around.

After a few minutes, Mao Gong sighed and said, "There is still a way to cross the river, but it's just that." ”

Jiang Haoran rushed to the front of the Mao Gong with an arrow step, and said hurriedly: "It's just what? ”

"It's just a little unrealistic, unless you can first lay down the enemy position on the opposite bank, set up a large gallows on the opposite bank, pull up ten steel cables from this side, lay wooden planks on the steel cables, and build a cableway bridge in the air, I'm afraid there is no other way to think of anything else."

As soon as the Mao worker's voice fell, there was a sigh in the house, if it could hit the other side, why do you want this steel chain bridge?

But Jiang Haoran's eyes lit up like a treasure, and he said excitedly: "You mean to build thirteen iron cables like the Luding Bridge?" ”

The story of the Red Army's capture of the Luding Bridge is well-known, Jiang Haoran has learned it in primary school textbooks, and as soon as Mao Gong mentions the chain bridge, Jiang Haoran is the first to react in his mind.

"Yes, just like the Luding Bridge, a few steel cables are laid underneath, two on the left and right sides are used as handrails, and wooden planks are laid on the bridge deck, so that the troops can quickly cross the river."

Jiang Haoran was obviously moved by Mao Gong's words, and quickly proposed that the Dadu River under the Luding Bridge is only more than 100 meters wide, but the narrowest part of the Inovady River is more than 300 meters, and the steel cables are overhead for such a long distance, how to ensure that the bridge does not shake, thirteen steel cables three or four hundred meters long is not a small number, and at least the eggs are thick, and the weight may reach more than 100 tons. And the most important question, how long will it take to erect the bridge?

Faced with Jiang Haoran's massive questions, Mao Gong answered them one by one.

Although the distance of the Inovady River is long, as long as a large number of cables are arranged from both sides of the bridge, the problem of bridge deck shaking can be solved.

As for the source of materials, the construction of the Anna Bridge itself is inseparable from the steel cable, now Yingduo has at least one-third of the reserves, and the remaining two-thirds can only be found from the people of the United States, dozens of tons of steel cables are nothing to them, and there are still twenty days to go, and there is time for transportation.

How to pull up these dozen steel cables is indeed a complex problem, Mao Gong briefly described, that is, to use helicopters to airlift thirteen large gallows machines to the past, the use of piling, cable fixation, and then use the helicopter to drag a hemp rope over, and then, with hemp rope to tie the small steel cable, with the gallows machine to pull the small steel cable up, and then with the small steel cable to tie a slightly larger steel cable, over and over again, until the egg thick steel cable is pulled up.

Finally, Jiang Haoran was most worried about the time problem, and the Mao worker told him with certainty that if the materials were in place, the preliminary work was well prepared, and the gallows machine on the opposite bank was properly fixed, the thirteen steel cables could be pulled up in a day's time, and the fixation was completed with the cables, and then there was a night to lay wooden planks on the bridge deck and realize the crossing of the river by a large army.

Of course, this qiē has a premise, that is, it cannot be damaged by the Japanese during this period, including possible air raids, artillery attacks, and even the appearance of enemy warships on the river.

In addition, the sappers who lay the bridge had to undergo a short period of intensive training, and when they arrived on the bridge deck, they were able to complete all the technical work in an orderly manner without wasting time in the slightest.

This is a huge idea, crazy and bold, in the eyes of everyone, this is basically unrealistic whimsy, but Jiang Haoran was so excited about it that he danced with his hands, and immediately ordered the Mao workers to put into work immediately, and implemented it according to this plan.

When he turned around, he instructed Huang Jie to get in touch with Stilwell immediately, and asked him to try his best to solve the problem of the tightrope.

After saying this, Jiang Haoran shouted back to the command headquarters, raised his legs and walked out, as if he didn't want to stay longer for a minute, and everyone was dizzy by him, and followed him mechanically.

Jiang Haoran walked like a fly, and almost all the people who followed behind him trotted all the way, and after ten minutes, they returned to the place where they parked.

got into the jeep, the car started, and just about to leave, Jiang Haoran seemed to suddenly remember something again, and shouted Ma Weiji.

Ma Weiji hurriedly ran to Jiang Haoran's car, bowed down and said, "Chief Seat, what else do you command?" ”

Jiang Haoran's fingers flicked quickly on the jeep door, thought for a moment, and said, "Master Ma, you haven't fired at the little devil during this time?" ”

Although separated by a river, the forward positions of the enemy and us are only more than 1,000 meters apart, and machine gun fire can easily hit the opponent's position, so Jiang Haoran has this question.
