Chiang Kai-shek saw in the telescope that the first company of the Fourth Division had arrived at the river, took off his shoes and rolled his trousers and prepared to swim across, and his descendants were still chasing after 500 meters, and he heard the surrounding generals praise Zhang Huizan for his good training, the team was really strong, and he was even more uneasy for a while, he thought about it and leaned back, and asked in a low voice what was going on with Liu Xiao in the back row?

Liu Xiao had already bent over to prepare: "The principal can rest assured, An Yi's company is equipped with relatively complete tools and auxiliary parts, so the load is very large, the average weight is forty-two pounds, far more than the fourteen pounds of the Hunan army, there is such a progress is already very good, and then please ask the principal to see the way An Yi's company crosses the river, which is quite exciting, two-thirds of the soldiers will fly through the rope, which not only saves time, but also keeps most of the brothers who are particularly burdened from getting wet, and will have a great advantage in the next competition." ”

"Well, I'll see how they get there." Chiang Kai-shek sat upright and chatted kindly with Tan Yanhong, the veteran of the party-state on his right, the commander of the Second Army.

After a while, Chiang Kai-shek saw that Tan Yanmin stopped talking, picked up the binoculars and looked at the river for a while, and exclaimed, "How can these boys come up with this?" At the same time, the other bosses and the generals behind him also exclaimed, Lao Jiang slowly turned around in surprise, took the telescope handed by He Yingqin and raised it calmly, and saw An Yi dancing a leather whip, standing back and forth between the two big trees, it seemed that he was shouting and giving orders frequently.

After a closer look, Lao Jiang smiled, only to see the soldiers with a big burden hanging two thick hemp ropes one after another, quickly sliding from the high place of the river embankment on this side to the waterside of the riverbed on the opposite side, orderly and even, in a blink of an eye, An Yi led the four soldiers who were behind to cut the rope, jumped into the river and swam desperately to the opposite bank, the soldiers on the opposite bank were sorted out under the command of the two deputy company commanders, and were ready to go around and run for one kilometer and turn back to the original place to build a bridge.

Lao Jiang pointed the telescope at the Hunan army again, and found that the Hunan army had to take care of the burden full of bridge-building tools and accessories, and involuntarily slowed down during the swimming operation, and now only two-thirds of the people climbed to the opposite bank, hurriedly putting on shoes and sorting out their bags, and many of the backpacks had been soaked by the river, which looked heavy.

Lao Jiang nodded frequently and smiled silently: "This An Yi actually let him come up with such a subtle method, it's good!" No wonder a few of you are full of confidence, and when you report, you are full of smugness and self-denial. ”

"Principal, An Yi's flying method can be trained in the whole army, which is very beneficial for overcoming complex battlefield situations in the future."

He Yingqin deserves to be a thoughtful and far-sighted handsome talent.

Lao Jiang nodded: "I'm afraid that after this competition, all armies will conduct in-depth research on this, and you can't fall behind the friendly forces." ”

"Understood!" He Yingqin replied.

"Jingfu, what are the expectations of the pontoon frame below?" Lao Jiang leaned back slightly, and asked without looking back.

Liu Xiao put down the binoculars, stood up again and approached Lao Jiang's ear: "An Yi and they have successfully experimented with a combined erection method, which is very fast, ingenious, and sturdy and reliable, it is difficult to explain a few words, it is estimated that it will start to enter the stage of logging and pontoon production in ten minutes, please wait and see." ”

"So fast?"

Lao Jiang asked in surprise.

"It's not fast, in order to take care of the time of the commanders, the schedule was shortened, the original time of five hours was reduced to four hours, and the final trench excavation was reduced from 150 meters to 80 meters, and the endurance of the officers and men of An Yi Company and more advanced means could not be fully reflected, otherwise, the defeat of the friendly second division would be even more ugly."

Liu Xiao was very proud to return, seeing Tan Yanmin in the front row looking for Lao Jiang to have something to say, Liu Xiao consciously shrank back, and just wanted to discuss it with Hu Shusen and Xu Tingyao beside him, but saw that the two deputies were already competing with Zhang Huizan.

Xu Tingyao and Hu Shusen, who were sitting next to Zhang Huizan, cooperated quite tacitly, and Lao Hu said with a calm face: "Brother Yuexiang, don't jump to conclusions too early, An Yi's subordinates are afraid that they will not have enough stamina, although they are slightly beyond when they catch up in crossing the river by surprise, but in the logging and bridge building links below, it is difficult for our brothers to maintain such physical strength in it, to be honest, I am very worried!" ”

"Lao Hu, how can you grow other people's ambition to destroy your own prestige? I don't think it is necessarily, although Brother Shihou's soldiers are all battle-hardened old oilmen, with strong combat power and tough style, but they may not be able to defeat our newborn calves, especially before departure, although they sing loudly and morale is like a rainbow, but one or two witticisms from our newborn calves will cancel out their psychological advantages, haha! This is just like on the battlefield, not only brave, but also witful, the art of war: strong and avoid, angry and scratching, humble and coquettish, and hard work...... Exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses to attack their unpreparedness and surprise them...... Haha, it's not just about strength! ”

Hu Shusen hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no! Brother Yuexiang's words are wrong, you don't see ......"

Zhang Huizan, who was already full of upset, really couldn't stand it anymore, turned to his two deputies to discuss his head urgently, turned to Xu Tingyao and smiled gently:

"Since Brother Yuexiang is so confident, how about we increase the bet of 50,000 to 80,000? If Brother Yuexiang has Yaxing, how about investing another 20,000 yuan between you and my brothers? Haha......"

"This ......"

Xu Tingyao hesitated.

Hu Shusen hurriedly stopped Xu Tingyao: "No, no!" 50,000 yuan has reached the top, and you must not act rashly if you are not sure, not to mention that even if our blind cat hits the dead mouse and wins, I am sorry Brother Shihou! And don't be impulsive. ”

Zhang Huizan laughed: "Brother Shusen is afraid that I can't afford to lose, right?" Haha, it's better to do this, how about the little brother write another note? As long as Brother Yuexiang nodded, the younger brother immediately signed, if he really lost, he said that I will send a special car to send the 80,000 principal to your Xida Camp, how about it? ”

Xu Tingyao turned to Hu Shusen with annoyance: "Old Hu, I know that you have always been cautious, but you should also know the temper of the master, this is obvious...... I'll sign, I'll be responsible, if I can't give out the 80,000 alone, don't say anything more...... Since Brother Shihou has this Yaxing, the younger brother is also willing to sacrifice his life to accompany him, it's a big deal to sell the house at the foot of Dongshan, I can still get 180,000 yuan, haha! Not only did I want to sign, but I also responded to Brother Shihou's initiative and took Brother Shihou's bet of 20,000 yuan. ”

"Good! Brother Yuexiang is really heroic, haha...... Chief of Staff, bring a pen! ”

Zhang Huizan was ecstatic, took the pen and wrote the bet directly on the competition book. Hu Shusen beat his chest and stomped his feet, as if he didn't have the courage to face it anymore, and turned to Liu Xiao, and found that Liu Xiao was looking over with a straight face, and a hint of imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his closed mouth.

The development of the game was almost the same as or even much more than Liu Xiao, Hu Shusen and Xu Tingyao, who had painstakingly lured Zhang Huizan and others to take the bait, and An Yilian played at a normal level very competitively, and since the end of the felling, he was far ahead in the exclamations of the audience, Zhang Huizan and his deputies were drenched in cold sweat, their faces were pale, and they were extremely disappointed looking at the brothers who were still desperately building bridges.

An Yi's team has all returned to the bottom of the viewing platform, more than 100 brothers began to dig trenches quickly under the incredible gaze of dozens of generals and thousands of soldiers and civilians, due to the advanced tools, more than 130 people were divided into two groups to take turns to work, only to see the steel shovel flying, the dust rising, an eighty-meter-long earth dragon rolling and swimming under everyone's noses, and the photographers who rushed to the side to grab the camera could not do so.

On the edge of the 80-meter-long trench, An Yi, Hu Zi, and Yin Jinan, who were soaked all over, were each responsible for a period of supervision and guidance, and took turns to let the two groups of brothers work at high speed and high efficiency, and the speed greatly exceeded the usual training standards.

Miracles and surprises during these three hours were all revealed in the final stage of trench excavation, and everyone was deeply shocked by the amazing results of the Second Division.

Thirty minutes later, with a whistle, An Yilian and all the brothers jumped on the trench and jumped for joy, took off their hats and threw them into the sky, revealing a large bare head that stunned the audience, and then laughed.

Brother Xiangjun did not rush down the slope until this time, and when he saw that An Yilian had been completed, everyone's breath suddenly leaked, and they sat on the ground without any anger and gasped for breath. Zhang Tianyi ran up to the trench dug by An Yilian in disbelief, looked at it again and again, and could only look up to the sky and sigh.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was extremely proud, chatted with Tan Yanhong, who loudly praised An Yi beside him, and turned to He Yingqin, Liu Xiao and others and solemnly ordered:

"After I go back, I will immediately issue a commendation order in the name of your military department throughout the army: Captain An Yi will be awarded the rank of company commander, Hu Jialin will be promoted to the rank of captain, and Yin Jinan will be awarded the rank of lieutenant, and all the soldiers of the third company will be promoted by one level to show their compassionate appreciation for the outstanding contributions of all the officers and soldiers of the third company!"

"Yes!"

He Yingqin and the others replied excitedly.

Chiang Kai-shek turned to the director of the Political Department of the First Army: "Director Deng, take advantage of this exciting contest to publicize it widely, inspire all the officers and men of the revolutionary army who are about to go on the Northern Expedition, boost the spirit of the whole people, and boost the morale of the whole army, I will order all departments of the Party Department to cooperate closely with you." ”

"Yes!"
