Half an hour later, 20 combat staff officers of the divisional headquarters who had arrived by truck dispersed to various monitoring points, and a group of officers stood on a high watchtower, holding binoculars to take a closer look.

I saw An Yi, who was draped all over his body, saluted to the chief of the operations section and asked to begin, and with the consent of the chief of the operations section, he immediately turned to Yin Jinan to make a gesture, and Yin Jinan, who was in front of the team, picked up the whistle and blew it vigorously, and one hundred and thirty-eight heavily armed officers and soldiers, including An Yi, took steps and ran along the river at a medium speed.

To the surprise of the commanders, Yin Jinan ran in front and controlled his speed well, Hu ran behind to catch the tail of the team, An Yi shouted in the middle, and the whole team suddenly became neat and orderly, even and fast.

Eighteen minutes passed, and the team that had completed the four-kilometer race turned back to the west bank of Zhuxi, and Liu Xiao and others found that An Yi had already run ahead.

As soon as they arrived at the river, An Yi, Hu Zi and another brother who saw this quickly took the hemp rope ferrule handed by the three big men, led a platoon of soldiers to fly down the river, and quickly swam across the east bank, the three of them untied the rope loop and tied it to the lower part of the three adjacent tree roots, and the soldiers on the west bank buried three large wooden stakes and tied thick ropes under the loud command of Yin Jinan, and dozens of people on both sides exerted force at the same time to straighten the three thick ropes that were erected on the river surface, and the soldiers quickly slid from the three ropes to the east bank, Finally, the three men led by Yin Jinan waved their shovels to cut the thick rope tied to the height of the big wooden stake to buy time, and the brothers on the east bank quickly withdrew the ropes, and when Yin Jinan and the four swam across the east bank, An Yi and Hu Zi had already moved to the vicinity of the single-plank bridge upstream with three groups of men and horses to cut down trees.

It was hard to imagine how An Yi had trained a group of migrant workers who couldn't even form well in formation so strong in just twenty days, and the three regiment commanders were full of praise for just running four kilometers in full armor.

"Reporter: After the completion of the three-in-a-row logging, we have begun to use various steel bolts, strip-shaped fastening steel plates, I-shaped metal components and ordinary horse nails, support cross frames, etc., and fly half by a team of ten people composed of separate people, and make ten square frames five meters long and three meters wide on both sides of the bank at the same time, and another sixteen people ran down the upstream river bank respectively, buried the pontoon bridge to pull the wooden piles, and the remaining eight people began the preparatory work for the pontoon connection, which has taken a total of one hour and eighteen minutes so far, saving twenty-seven minutes than our pre-calculation!"

The chief of the operations section ran to the watchtower at the top of the mountain to report loudly.

The chiefs looked at each other, and Liu Xiao laughed and praised loudly: "It's really unimaginable! Who can believe that this is just an engineering unit if I didn't see it with my own eyes? It looks like we're losing, let's go, go to the site and see how their pontoons are made. ”

The chiefs walked to the busy pontoon construction site, the first five-meter module of the two pontoon bridges had been launched, An Yi in the water took the rope head thrown by the brothers on the shore, turned around to hold the heavy module, waved his big hand, and with a "click" sound, the movable steel ring of the rope head was accurately buckled on the protruding steel ring of the module, and the six brothers upstream heard An Yi's shout and immediately pulled the fixed rope, and Yin Jinan on the shore gave an order after measuring the direction, and two wooden stakes of 20 centimeters thick and 1 meter and 5 meters long were immediately knocked into the riverbed by four eighteen-pound sledgehammers. In less than three minutes, the first bridge deck, which was the most difficult to erect, was successfully laid.

Liu Xiao looked at Hu Shusen and turned to Xu Tingyao: "Have you opened your eyes?" Who of us could have imagined? Do more with less! Such a strong and stable pontoon bridge, it seems that it is enough to run a horse, completely beyond the standards we have set, this group of people is amazing, such skilled movements, reasonable division of labor, and close and tacit cooperation, who can imagine that this group of people twenty days ago was still a precarious migrant worker? ”

"Amazing, amazing! This An Yi always brings something refreshing to people. ”

Xu Tingyao sighed with emotion: "Division, chief of staff, no matter what, you have to keep this treasure, don't let Deputy Commander Wang snatch it away, otherwise it will be a big loss for my division!" ”

A group of commanders stood on the east bank and pointed, sighed for a long time, and soon divided into two groups and led more than a dozen staff guards to step onto the pontoon bridge, bending down to check, and stomping and jumping, and finally they stood in the middle of the pontoon bridge together and jumped several times, and saw that the pontoon bridge shook gently on the water surface and did not fluctuate much, so I believed that it was not a face-saving project to fool people.

At this time, the third company had already run to the foot of the mountain to start the excavation of the 82-meter mountain fortifications, which seemed to be the most onerous engineering project, but became the easiest job in the whole process, but it took more time, but for these long-term digging workers, it was the most handy thing.

Four hours and forty-eight minutes later, the brothers who had successfully completed the project jumped out of the trench in a long whistle of Yin Jinan, high-fived and hugged each other happily, ghosts and wolves, and the prepared cooking class rushed to pick up seven loads of herbal tea, An Yi got a few "three forts" cigarettes out of nowhere, and happily distributed them to this one and that after running, he was still laughing loudly in his mouth:

"Thank you, brothers! An Yi thank you, wait for the reward money! Ha ha...... Come on, Lao Sichuan, share cigarettes for Lao Tzu, grandma, your grandson is not allowed to be corrupt...... Haha, Lao Lu, you're so fucking awesome, one person actually carried a five-meter-long log, grandma's, why didn't you do it before...... Haha, Lao Qian, you turtle son, Lao Tzu is going to reward you today......"

An Yi, who was completely different from the fierce and vicious when he first gave the order, made a group of commanders who inspected the quality of the trenches stunned and shook their heads, Xu Tingyao scolded and said again, "We Huangpu have cultivated such a brazen soldier ruffian", but Hui Dongsheng and the others laughed and admired it very much, and felt that the most affectionate and surnamed Fang was a general.

Liu Xiao and Hu Shusen smiled from ear to ear, and the two immediately reached a consensus after a little discussion: such a morale-boosting and powerful military thing must be greatly publicized, and on the day of the 29th day of the competition with the Fourth Division, we must respectfully invite our Commander-in-Chief Jiang Principal Jiang to come to the scene in person!

"Stand upright!"

An Yi turned around and ran in front of Liu Xiao after gathering the team: "Report to the division, the third company successfully completed the drill task, please teach the division and the commanders!" ”

Liu Xiao stiffened his face: "What else do I have to say?" After a day's rest, we will all return to the camp at noon. ”

"Yes!"

After An Yi finished answering, he thought about it and stepped forward and explained embarrassedly: "Master, the 1,500 oceans given by the division before setting off are not enough to buy tools, horse nails, accessories and hemp rope!" That's why I dared to make a bet with the chiefs, you see, the brothers didn't even have a good set of clothes, a pair of good shoes, and they didn't even dare to approach the road for fear of being laughed at by the villagers. Bitter brethren! I haven't eaten a full meal or slept a single night in the past 20 days, and I, the acting company commander, feel very uncomfortable, so I used a little trickery to ask for some pocket money from the commanders, and distributed it to the brothers to buy some snacks to replenish their bodies......"

"Shut up! Are you fucking finished? Father...... Poof—"

Xu Tingyao couldn't help laughing and pointed at An Yi: "You scoundrel...... Take advantage of this time to complain, it's really fucking picky, haha......"

The chiefs laughed, An Yi was embarrassed to laugh, and when he saw Hui Dongsheng's amiable appearance, he ran to his side in a few steps and whispered:

"Commander Hui, I heard from our Quartermaster Lao He that the commander of the Fourth Division, Commander Zhang, is very good-looking, fat-headed and big-eared, but he likes to gamble the most, which makes the Fourth Division of the Hunan Army go up and down, which is very inspiring and morale-boosting, hehe......"

"Why didn't Lao Tzu think about it for a while? Haha......"

Hui Dongsheng suddenly realized and turned to Xu Tingyao beside him: "Brother Yuexiang, you and Zhang Huizan and Zhang Shihou are old friends, yesterday Principal Jiang just issued 200,000 supplementary military funds to the various armies, Zhang Shihou's fourth division is a well-known signboard of the second army, and the income is at least 80,000 or more, we can't lose 6,000 oceans in vain, although the amount is not large, but it is also a sum of money, right!" ”

Xu Tingyao laughed: "I'll call him as soon as I go back later, and ask aloud this Zhang Shihou, who has eyes above the top, if he dares to gamble with Lao Tzu?" Haha......"

Several commanders listened to Xu Tingyao's words, and they all laughed heartily, this one said that Master Zhang had money, and the other said that he would bet at least 20,000 yuan, and An Yi's eyes were spent, and he regretted that he was too timid, and even if he blocked 10,000 yuan in this posture now, his superiors would agree with him.
