In the early morning of the 18th.

Yang Chengwu, the supreme commander of the first division, has arrived in Hongzidian, Pingshan County!

At this moment, the three regiments have completed the supply of ammunition and food, waiting for Yang Chengwu to give an order.

Originally, the third regiment was ready to cross the river, but Yang Chengwu checked the troops again because of the boss's special advice.

The Futuo River originates in the area of Gushan Village, Taixi Mountain, Fanxian County, Shanxi Province, with a total length of 587 kilometers.

The three regiments want to cross this section of the Jiejia River, which originates from the land behind Pingshan, flows from the north to the south, passes through the former earth, the big river bank, and flows southeast to the four rivers, the water flow is very large, the rain is very diligent recently, the water level has risen a lot, and it has caught up with the mountain torrent, which makes the water flow more turbulent.

Yang Chengwu stood by the river, looking at the rushing river and two boats, the anger in his heart instantly surged up, "There are more than 1,000 people in a regiment, and you have prepared two boats?" ”

"Two boats are enough!" Ji Ting, the head of the third regiment, said frankly.

"Are you stupid for me? Just this kind of ferry, holding forty or fifty people to death, this is not counting weapons and equipment! You say, "How are you going to cross it?" Don't tell me that you lie down with a hundred or more people, and when you finish pulling, the sky will be dawn. ”

Yang Chengwu roared angrily, with the unique majesty of this soldier, his eyes widened angrily.

Ji Ting, the commander of the third regiment, is an old soldier, and he is also a mature and steady old soldier, if it were not for special circumstances, he would definitely not prepare only two boats to cross the river.

Now Yang Chengwu just wants to know what is the reason why only two boats have been prepared.

"Report, ensure that all the personnel and equipment of the whole regiment cross the river before dawn!" Ji Ting said loudly.

"Safety! Safe! Even the boss knew that the water level of the Futuo River was rising, and repeatedly reminded me to pay attention to safety. But you've got two fucking wrecked boats! Do you say you don't want to do this teamfight? ”

"Report! The ferry is really not available! In the enemy-occupied area here, the people don't trust us enough enough, and it is not easy to borrow two boats. But it is enough to have these two boats! In addition to the ferry, we also prepared ropes, with which swimmers could cross the river. These two ferries were prepared for non-swimming and armament. Ji Ting was upright, his eyes were full of determination.

"How many fighters can swim?" Yang Chengwu asked.

"Half of it!" Ji Ting said vaguely.

Yang Chengwu still wanted to continue to ask for some details, but the time was tight and the task was heavy, and he did not waste any more time after knowing the current specific situation, and continued to criticize Ji Ting's lack of preparation. 、

This is indeed not to blame Ji Ting, the team drove directly over, and has not yet established a relationship with the common people, the most important thing is that the third regiment was in the name of the "corporal" unit when it was marching.

The corporal is a local warlord unit, and its reputation is very stinky, and the common people have too late to hide, let alone borrow a boat.

Out of trust in the old soldier, Yang Chengwu did not continue to hold on to the problem of the boat, but after looking at the time, he stared at Ji Ting and said loudly, "Okay! If you've said enough, then I'll believe you! Now at eleven fifty-three o'clock, seven minutes later, at twelve o'clock, the three regiments began to cross the river! ”

"Yes!" Ji Tinglizheng accepted the order.

"Be sure to stay safe." Yang Chengwu added.

The big war was imminent, and in order to keep it secret, most of the military orders were issued in advance and on an ad hoc basis, even for the march route of the three regiments.

To tell the truth, the task of crossing the river of the third regiment was very difficult.

Because most of the main forces of the three regiments are northerners, and there are not many who can swim, most of what Ji Ting said, including those soldiers who have just learned to swim temporarily.

The current is very fast, especially when the torrential rain has just fallen upstream, looking at the turbulent river, although Ji Ting, who commands the crossing of the river, is calm on the surface, but his heart is undulating, and he is always worried about those soldiers who are holding the rope to cross the river.

In order to facilitate contact, Yang Chengwu assigned two walkie-talkies to Ji Ting.

One step was handed over to the deputy commander Xiao Shang, who crossed the turbulent river with a group of soldiers with the best water nature and the first batch of weapons and equipment.

At night, the light was very poor, and for the sake of secrecy, the three regiments did not use any lighting tools, so they got on the ferry and sailed out in the dark under the leadership of the deputy head Xiao Shang.

Because it carried a lot of weapons and equipment, the draft of the hull was very deep, and although it looked stable, it was actually very unsafe.

The line of sight was not good, and the boat disappeared into the darkness after sailing more than ten meters.

Ji Ting pinched the walkie-talkie in his hand and asked intentionally, but as a qualified commander, he still pressed the impulse in his heart.

Time passed very slowly, ten minutes seemed like an hour.

"Sha Sha Sha~" Ji Ting's walkie-talkie finally reacted, and then Xiao Shang's voice came from inside.

"The cormorant calls the fisherman, and the cormorant calls the fisherman." 、

"Fisherman received!" Even if he was in a hurry, Ji Ting knew that it was Xiao Shang on the walkie-talkie, but he still completed the communication in strict accordance with the regulations.

"The cormorant has crossed the river safely, please instruct!"

"Prepare the ropes and assist the other warriors in crossing the river."

"Cormorant received!"

After about seventeen or eighteen minutes, the two ferries returned to their original places, along with six ropes.

Yang Chengwu looked at the time, this trip took half an hour, less than 60 people were sent over, and less than one-tenth of the weapons and equipment were sent, if it was at this speed, it would be absolutely impossible to complete the river crossing before dawn.

"It's a bit of a tight time!" Yang Chengwu said calmly.

Hearing that Yang Chengwu's tone seemed to be calm, but it was actually anxious, so Ji Ting immediately replied, "Report, the ferry boat is mainly used to pull weapons, and these ropes are used by the soldiers to cross the river." ”

"Stay safe!"

"Yes!"

Next, six ropes were assigned to six companies, each of whom pulled the ropes to find an area where the current was still slow to cross the river, while Ji Ting directed the other fighters to transport weapons and equipment.

Although there is no heavy artillery, there are still quite a lot of machines in the three regiments, and there are more than 20 light and heavy machine guns combined, which are the top priority, so Ji Ting has been carefully commanding, and he does not dare to have a trace of neglect.

Watching the soldiers cross the river in an orderly manner, Yang Chengwu's original hanging heart can be regarded as settling down.

It's a little cool at night, the river is a little cool, but the air is extraordinarily dreary.

This dullness is not psychological, but physical.

The gradual reduction of the concentration and the dullness of the air made Yang Chengwu and Ji Ting's hearts hang again.

Because, it's cloudy, and it's getting cloudy at a very fast speed.

As a rule of thumb, in this case, heavy rains fall very quickly.

If it really rains at this moment, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the three regiments that are crossing the river. (End of chapter)
