It's still Xinhang, it's the seventh day, and when I got up early in the morning, Feng Ye felt that today seemed to be a little different, and the light seemed to be getting a little brighter.

God seemed to have received Feng Yi's prayer, and the afternoon sun finally broke free from the shackles of the clouds, and released its light of mercy to the fullest, sprinkled on Xinhang.

"It's clear, it's sunny!"

With a smile on his face, Feng raised his head to look at the sky, and the recruits on the training ground were cheering at the same time, they finally didn't have to train in the rain.

"Wang Ning, let the veteran go out to explore the way."

"Zhang Chuan, find a few brothers who know how to water, go and see the situation of the river, and prepare to build a pontoon bridge."

Feng Yi shouted, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, the sky was clear, the devil should come.

The sun-drenched town, washed away by the rain for a week, washed away all the blood and dirt, and looked peaceful and serene, and the vegetation of the fields seemed to be rejuvenating in the sunlight after the storm, becoming dazzling and bright.

Facing the afternoon sun, Feng Ye walked around the town, busy people rushing for their livelihoods, the soldiers on the training ground were soaked, and the whole town suddenly came back to life.

It has been seven days since Xinhang lost the news, whether it is a phone or a radio, no matter how the devil calls, there is no news, and the devil sent their cavalry communication troops when the sun came out.

They knew that there might be Chinese guerrillas in the vicinity, so they had quite a few cavalry messengers, a total of four people, and the cavalry messengers from Guangde went straight to Xinhang along Zhao Village.

"How? Can I ride a pontoon? ”

Feng Ye came to a place a few hundred meters south of Xinhang, which was the narrowest place on the river they had previously scouted.

"Battalion commander, not yet; You see, the river is now more than 50 meters, the depth is not known, the most important thing is that the river is muddy, there are all kinds of floating objects on the water surface, the biggest threat to us is those wood, a wave hit, the impact of the wood can make the fishing boat directly destroyed. ”

The engineer company commander pointed to the river in front of them, which used to be less than ten meters above the river, and the river was very docile, but the torrential rain not only widened the river, but also made it a lot more irritable.

"If you can't think of a way, ask the people of the town if they have any way; The pontoon bridge had to be erected, and we had to cross the river to be able to quickly return to the brigade headquarters. ”

Feng Ye also has no way, he only knows one thing, now there must be a pontoon bridge, so that the materials here can be transferred quickly and safely.

"Yes!"

The engineer company commander nodded, drooping his head and running towards Xinhang Town, Feng Yi still stayed where he was, he was thinking about whether to send some brothers to escort the supplies back first, there are not many horses here, if they only go once, I am afraid they will have to give up all the food.

"Yaga!"

The cavalry communicators of the devils were very bitter, the roads were so bad, there were traces of collapses and mudslides in many places, and they had to lead their horses on foot many times, and they had already walked for four hours on the twenty-five kilometers of the road, but they had not yet seen the Cimushroom Mountain in the west of Xinhang.

"Xiaohe-kun, don't worry, it shouldn't be there before dark, let's prepare the torches first; It's good to wait until we get to Xinhang, let them send a telegram to the captain to ask for guilt, and we can return slowly after resting enough. ”

A devil comforted the anxious devil army Cao, they did not consider the possibility of Xinhang being attacked by guerrillas, perhaps in the devil's thinking, even if Xinhang was attacked, there should be a message for help, and it was impossible to quietly let the Chinese kill their two squads.

"Battalion commander, Cimushroom Mountain is not done, the trenches and bunkers we originally dug have all been washed away, there is nothing left, there is no way to defend there, now there are a few brothers staying there, the devil came from Zhao Village, they will definitely be discovered."

"The brothers who explored the way came back to report that the path leading from Xinhang to Zhaocun was completely damaged and impassable, and if they wanted to go, it was better to walk in the crops to make it safer......

"Battalion commander, the first rope ladder by the river has been erected, and the pontoon bridge can be erected at any time, but our boats are not enough, and they can only be used once, and if they are damaged, it will be very difficult to repair them again......"

"Battalion commander, the medical equipment and ammunition have been sorted out, if all our horses are transported, we can transport them all at once, but there is no way to run out of food, we can only rely on the brothers to resist."

……

According to the instructions, everyone was reporting on the work at hand, Feng Ye was sitting on the table, frowning and pondering, he was now a little shackled by the materials, and he didn't know what to do.

"If we start building the pontoon bridge now, how long will it take to finish it?"

Feng asked.

"Three hours."

The engineer company commander was stunned for a moment and replied.

"It's three hours before it gets completely dark, so let's take it now; Gao Yurong and Wang Lun, go and prepare, take 150 brothers, and send the wounded, medical equipment, medicine, and ammunition back to the brigade headquarters first; Then quickly return, and tomorrow all retreat. ”

Feng Ye patted the table with his hand, he was not going to wait any longer, he didn't know if the pontoon bridge could withstand tonight, he had to block his luck, or find a way to repair the damaged pontoon.

"Wang Lun, I remember that there are more than a dozen horses in the brigade headquarters, let the brigade commander deploy them to us first."

Feng Yi stared at Wang Lun and said, he didn't want to use the horses of the brigade headquarters, but now he doesn't need to, these grains are not food, that is fate, even if it is distributed to the villagers, he is not ready to leave it to the devils, but it is still not safe to distribute it to the villagers, the devils will snatch it from their hands again, it is better to take it away himself.

"Yes!"

Wang Lun received the order, and then went out with Gao Yurong, they went to prepare, and the engineer company commander quickly rushed to the river again, preparing to erect a pontoon bridge.

The wooden piles, planks, and other things used to erect the pontoon bridge had been prepared in the rainstorm a few days ago, and all the time in the afternoon was piled up by the river where they were going to build the pontoon bridge.

"Sigh the law ......"

As the sky darkened, Gao Yurong and Wang Lun, who were about to set off, had already arrived at the river, dozens of horses with heavy loads on their backs, and the brothers had torches in their hands, but they had not yet lit them.

"Along the way, light torches, the storm has just passed, the road conditions are terrible, the devil should not toss in the wild, but be careful; Come back early. ”

Feng Yi nodded, and the brothers on the other side of the river were already waving torches, signaling that the pontoon bridge was passable.

"Let's go!"

Gao Yurong shouted, leading a horse onto the rickety pontoon bridge.

"Sigh the law ......"

The horses neighed, and with the combined efforts of the two brothers, they slowly crossed the pontoon one by one.

"Look at the pontoon, report immediately if there is a new situation!"

Feng Yi explained to the commander of the engineer company, watched the fire dragon on the other side of the river slowly move away, and returned to the barracks without looking back.
