Chapter 666: Heavy Rain
By the river, Yang Chengwu rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arms, and then he stretched his whole arm into the river to feel the temperature of the river.
The river was not cold, which made him relax a little, and then he trotted to the place where the six companies crossed the river to personally check the strength of the water flow and ropes, and finally stayed at the crossing point of one company for ten minutes, and after calculating the speed of the river crossing, he took a deep breath, "Look at the speed of this river crossing should be fine, but this day still worries me!" ”
Ji Ting also said worriedly, "Yes, it's better not to rain this time." The day before yesterday, when the reconnaissance company was looking for information, it was just in time for a torrential rain, and a half-year-old child of a common man was washed away by the rising river. ”
"Boom~" A muffled thunder came from the sky, accompanied by a faint lightning flash.
"It's thundering, looking at the stuffiness of the sky, it won't take half an hour for the rain to fall." Yang Chengwu glanced up at the thunder light in the distance and said to Ji Ting, "You separate from me and go and keep an eye on these soldiers." I'm afraid that something will go wrong when they are young and anxious. ”
"Yes!" After Ji Ting saluted, he took the guards to carry out the order.
An hour has passed, and the overall progress of crossing the river has been completed by one-third, calculating the time, it should be completed before dawn, but at this time, the raindrops of beans fell from the sky, and they hit the body with a snap, which made people feel refreshed.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of falling on the ground was getting more and more intense.
Even if it's not far away, you can't hear what the other party is saying.
Yang Chengwu's guard handed over a hat, "Commander, put it on!" ”
Yang Chengwu pushed it with his hand, "If you don't bring it, your vision is not good, and you can't see clearly with this." ”
Because of the sound of rain, the guard didn't hear what Yang Chengwu said, but he knew from Yang Chengwu's movements that Yang Chengwu didn't want to wear it, and he wanted to say something, but he found that Yang Chengwu was already short, and he touched a river crossing point with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
In the lower reaches of the Futuo River, in a place where the river channel is slightly narrower, Li Si and Lian Wuxian are packing up tools on a fishing boat.
Tools include fishing nets and hook lassoes.
The reason why they came here was because Xu San mentioned in his communication with Li Si a few days ago that he hoped that Li Si would send a few ferries to the three regiments if he had time to go to Hongzidian, and if he couldn't get a ferry, he would pick them up downstream.
Xu San said this because the battle at Jingjing Coal Mine was a very important battle in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, and at the beginning of the battle, the Third Regiment lost dozens of non-combat personnel due to the lack of ferries. Regarding these, the information is only a passing mention, so in the end, Xu San can only give an approximate location.
Li Si and Lian Wushuang are now undercover agents in Heifeng Village, and their lives are very good.
The two of them were Jianghu people before they participated in the revolution, and they can be regarded as acting in their true colors when they arrive in Heifeng Village.
With kung fu, it was easy to get the position of the third master without injury, and Li Si played the position of a dog-headed military advisor.
Although the occupation time is not long, but with the performance, the two of them are still very important, so the two of them went down the mountain this time, and they did not make the big boss feel suspicious, not to mention, some time ago, Lian Wuxian hit Yamamoto's ambush and captured a small sum.
"Lao Li, why did the comrades of the group give us such an inexplicable task." Lian Wuxian sat in the window shed and said as he looked at the dark river.
"Why do you ask so much? Let's do it. And this is inexplicable, this time it's for us to respond. ”
"It's a pity that we didn't get a big ship, otherwise we could go directly to meet with the third regiment, that is the main regiment, I really want to see it." Lian Wushuang said.
"The combat effectiveness of the independent regiment is not bad, don't we often deal with them? Moreover, listening to Comrade Qun, this time the three regiments crossed the river secretly, and we rushed forward and did not follow the rules. Li Si said, put on his coat, walked out of the shed, felt the power of the rainstorm, and then drilled back, "The comrades of the group are like gods, saying that there is a rainstorm today, and there is really a rainstorm." ”
"In fact, as long as you are familiar with hydrological and astronomical phenomena, you can still predict a few days in advance. When I used to study art in the mountains, there was a teacher who could predict the weather, and he was always the same. ”
"It's easy for you to say, or you can predict one."
"Then I'll try!" Even Wushuang walked out in his cloak as he spoke, and then he stood at the bow of the boat and said, "This rain will stop in less than a quarter of an hour!" ”
After listening to Lian Wuxian's words, Li Si smiled, "With such a heavy rain, as long as you have a little common sense, you will know that it won't last long." ”
Just as the two of them were talking, the rain became lighter, and it changed from the original pouring rain to a gentle drizzle.
Listening to the sound of the rain outside, Li Si blew out the kerosene lamp in the canopy, did not put on a robe, and walked out, "Close your eyes and recuperate, let your eyes get used to the darkness, otherwise it is not so easy to see something abnormal on such a wide river." ”
"Isn't it you? Have you practiced your eyes, do you still use me? Although Lian Wuxian said so, he still obediently obeyed Li Si's orders and closed his eyes.
The rain gradually stopped, but the boat shook even harder.
Li Si opened his eyes, "The water level has risen, and the waves are bigger, I hope the comrades who crossed the river upstream are okay." ”
Lian Wuxian also opened his eyes, feeling the violently shaking hull, "Such a big wave, the comrades upstream lack a ferry"
"Keep an eye on it, it's still more than two hours until dawn."
Lian Wuxian did not reply, but stood firmly at the bow of the boat, intently watching the movement on the river.
Upstream, half of the overall task of crossing the river of the three regiments has been completed, and although the heavy rain just now has affected the progress a little, there have been no mistakes and no accidents under the supervision of Ji Ting and Yang Chengwu.
Actions in the rainstorm are quite physically exhausting, Ji Ting only found a stone to sit down after a round of inspection, and after taking a few breaths, he then took a dry towel from the guard's hand, and after drying his hands, he took out the walkie-talkie from the sheepskin bag he carried with him, and called Xiao Shang, the deputy head of the regiment on the other side, to ask about the situation over there.
The walkie-talkie is afraid of water, which has been clearly stated in the instructions for use, so after the rain, the three regiments were not used again, and now that the rain has stopped, Ji Ting dares to take it out and use it.
The communication was very brief, and Xiao Shang ended the communication after reporting the results, but the walkie-talkie was not turned off, but the communication was kept unblocked at all times. (End of chapter)
