As night wore on, the 1st Division halted its advance and began to camp in the open.

Sapper positions!

The sappers and the infantrymen involved in the construction did not sleep, but continued the construction in the rain in raincoats.

"The brothers worked harder, the staff said it would take five days to reach Yongding, they said five days! How can we be so slow, according to me, we will be there in three days, do you have any confidence? ”

"Yes."

"One-two-one, come on, one-two-one, come on!"

"Demolition team, blow up the cliff wall in front of you."

"Yes."

"Excavator team, start excavation after blasting."

"Yes."

"Logging crew, bring a chainsaw up the hill to cut wood, use wood to lay the puddle, don't let the truck behind you get stuck in it."

"Yes."

The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon it became a torrential rain, and at dawn the next day, the sky was gray, and there was not a ray of sunlight in sight, and the rain still did not listen.

"Keep going." Xia Jun looked at the weather, I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while.

After a night of non-stop construction, the front five construction points were all unblocked, the night construction personnel soon turned into a state of rest, the new personnel put into the daytime construction, rushed to the front of the construction point, the staff of the sudden situation of the heavy rain launched a new arrangement, the front of the construction point became eight, and four infantry battalions were dispatched to assist in the construction.

Not every construction site has an excavator, and the excavator has high requirements for the road, so only the front construction site has an excavator operation.

"Report to the chief, there is a landslide on section 182, please support."

"Wait a minute." After receiving the call, the staff department replied, and Liu Wenhong asked the staff officers: "Which battalion is closest to the 182 section?" ”

The staff officers hurriedly spread out the map and made a phone call to inquire.

"It's the 08th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment."

"Order the 08 battalion to get off the car and rush to the collapsed road section to cooperate with the clean-up operation, so that they can pay attention to the possibility of another landslide on the road section."

"Yes."

As the rain fell, the 1st Division's march became slower and slower, and every advance was very difficult, and on this narrow road, if a truck got into a puddle, the whole team had to stop.

Due to the narrow roads, the transfer is not very convenient.

However, this is not the biggest problem, after all, these are easy to solve, the biggest problem is that the river has swelled due to heavy rains, and pontoon bridges must be built to pass.

The repair of the pontoon bridge was not so fast, for which the troops paused several times in the mud for several hours before advancing.

"Look, can we get to Yongding in five days?" Xia Jun stood on the top of the hill and looked at the advancing team with a telescope, and asked the staff officers beside him.

"Headmaster, I think it's okay, I'm more than halfway through now." Liu Wenhong said optimistically, Chen Xuanyu smiled: "It's not easy to walk in the back of this short section!" ”

"It doesn't matter if we can reach it in five days, we just try to pursue it, our Fujian First Division can deal with roads like Fujian, and there are any roads that can't be dealt with in the future." Xia Jun also laughed, conducting marching exercises in Fujian is definitely the most challenging, and the eastern, central, southern, and northern provinces do not have such bad road conditions as Fujian.

By the next day, the whole team had advanced only 32 kilometers, and the troops were advancing like snails, but at least they were still advancing, and there was some confusion on the march.

The reasons for the confusion have been recorded one by one, and these are valuable lessons!

Some of the soldiers fell ill during the construction because of the heavy rains, and they were quickly taken to the field hospital in the back for treatment.

The field hospital of the First Division of Fujian is definitely high-end, and all the doctors in it have been replaced by Chinese, and there is not a single doctor recruited by foreign countries, but the medical equipment inside is beyond this era, for which those doctors have also signed a confidentiality agreement, not to leak half a sentence of all information about the equipment and drugs of the field hospital to outsiders, and the soldiers who enter the hospital for treatment cannot understand whether the equipment is advanced.

The 1st Division stubbornly advanced in the torrential rain, and after two days of rain, the roads had become extremely muddy, and most of the soldiers were covered in yellow mud.

As soon as the rain stopped, the speed of the march immediately increased, and with the efforts of the soldiers of the whole division, they finally reached Yongding County on the fifth day, and the county commander of Yongding County was frightened.

However, the first division did not enter the county seat, but was stationed outside the county seat.

Xia Jun had the 1st Division repair in Yongding for five days, during which the General Staff and officers at all levels held marching discussions to summarize and solve problems that arose during the march.

The General Staff immediately made adjustments to the return march plan, and on June 1, Children's Day, the Fujian First Division returned to Jian'an by the same route.

The return march was much more orderly, and with the roads already cleared, the march was much faster than it had been when it came, and there was much less confusion in command.

It took only three days for the 1st Division to return to Jian'an.

At this time, the Baolu movement was gradually approaching the first stage, and Xia Jun also stepped up the combat training of the First Division.

After several months of training, the technical units have basically improved greatly, and the most important reconnaissance soldiers are no longer a problem in drawing, but there is still a lack of artillery guidance.

As soon as he returned to Jian'an, the telegraph operator received a telegram from Peru.

Xia Jun read the telegram that Chen Jiayi had sent from Peru, which reported that he had registered a company in Peru and would be able to set up a fishmeal processing plant when the equipment for processing fishmeal arrived.

Xia Jun had already shipped out the equipment to set up a fishmeal processing plant, which was the equipment with an annual output of 5,000 tons of fishmeal.

On June 6, a spy on the 1st Division slipped into the barracks and ran out of the warehouse, where he was discovered by the sentries and killed him on the spot.

The barracks was actually infiltrated by the secret agents, which shook the first division up and down.

The first update is here!

Brothers, give me some strength, and we're about to go to war!
