Riverside Police.

The more than 600 officers and soldiers who had fought for six hours were all withdrawn. They were exhausted. Some sat on the embankment, and some lay down under the embankment, curiously watching the construction of the Linghai Reserve Battalion.

Many rural soldiers had never seen an excavator, or even a loader. It was as rare as when Han Yu saw an excavator for the first time.

"How much soil can they grab in this fight?"

"One side should have it."

"I can't stop looking at it. The bucket is so big, at least two cubic meters."

"That forklift is also very powerful."

"That's not a forklift, that's a loader."

"It's not a forklift that shovels the soil?"

"It can shovel soil, but it is called a loader. My dad has it in the factory, but it is not so big."

"Company commander, are they a reserve force? I thought they were the same as the reserve forces over there."

The reserve commandos brought by the county armed forces minister were similar to militiamen, to be exact, similar to migrant workers, with only a few flags and no military uniforms.

The company commander turned around to look at the local reserve force not far away, and said with a smile: "The reserve force is said to be under the joint management of the military and the local government, but in fact it is the local government that has the final say. The local government has money, and the militia reserve force has good equipment. Locally Without money, the militia reserve has no name."

A soldier looked at the flag not far away and asked puzzledly: "Company commander, did they come from Binjiang or Linghai? Write Binjiang."

"You ask me, who do I ask."

"Remember, Xu Xiaoming from the fifth row is from Binjiang. He has so many fellow villagers here, so let him ask."

"Company Commander, I'm almost dying of thirst, and I'm not allowed to drink the water in the river, why don't I ask Xu Xiaoming to ask their fellow villagers if they have any water?"

The road and bridge leading here have been repaired, but the logistical supplies in the battalion still cannot be delivered.The leader said that the road and bridge were temporarily repaired, the road is not wide, and the bridge is very narrow. Now the vehicles transporting emergency supplies should be allowed to pass first.

The company commander saw that someone from the Linghai Reserve Battalion had delivered water to the command post on the embankment just now, and thought that he could ask his subordinates to visit fellow villagers to see if they could get some water for the brothers, so he immediately asked a squad leader to find Xu Xiaoming from the fifth platoon .

From the moment he saw the flag of the Linghai Reserve Battalion, Xu Xiaoming wanted to cry with excitement.

He had long wanted to find fellow villagers, but he was working at the time and couldn't be lazy.After finally being able to rest, he could not leave the team without the permission of the squad leader, so he could only watch his fellow villagers anxiously.

After receiving the company commander's order, he was ecstatic, and hurriedly got up and ran to the parking lot.

As a result, as soon as he ran a few steps, he was stopped by a reserve officer wearing a camouflage helmet, a walkie-talkie and a whistle on his chest, and holding a small red flag.

"What are you running around for? Didn't you see the car approaching? Go around from the west, you can't go from here!"

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention."

"Look carefully, this is a construction site!"

"Okay, thank you." Xu Xiaoming didn't rush to go around from the west, and asked excitedly, "Chief, are you from Binjiang?"

"We came from Linghai, what's the matter?" The pre-appointed officer waved a small flag and directed the loader filled with soil to pass.

Xu Xiaoming waited for the loader to drive away, and said eagerly: "Chief, we are fellow villagers, and I am from Binjiang."

The pre-appointed officer was amused, turned around and asked with a smile, "Where are you from Binjiang?"

Xu Xiaoming smiled and said, "In the urban area, my family lives in Chonggang District. I came here to serve as a soldier last year."

We are from Linghai, you are from Binjiang, we can't understand what you say, how could we be fellow villagers...

The pre-appointed officer was a little disappointed and couldn't help asking: "Do you have any Linghai soldiers in your army?"

"No, there are only six Binjiang people in our group. They are not in the same unit as me. They didn't come to fight the flood, so I came."

"Really, since you are here to serve as a soldier, then do well."

"..."

"What, is there anything else?"

Xu Xiaoming suddenly realized that Linghai people would not recognize him as a Binjiang fellow. Don't mention how uncomfortable he was, but he couldn't just go back like this, otherwise he would be laughed at by the company commander, platoon leader and comrades in arms, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Chief , We came as soon as we received the order in the afternoon, and we didn't even have time to prepare."

While gesturing to the loader full of dirt, the advance officer asked impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Chief, we are thirsty, can you give us some water, I can pay for it!"

"You don't have water?"

"No."

"Have you had dinner then?"

"nor."

"Thirsty and hungry?"

"Ah."

"Isn't there a command post on the embankment? The command post didn't prepare water and food for you?"

"No." Xu Xiaoming said with a bitter face: "Our battalion commander said that we can't cause trouble to the local area. Our logistics is guaranteed by our battalion. In fact, water and dry food have already been delivered, but the road leading to here must be transported to rescue. The supplies vehicles pass first, and our vehicles cannot pass.”

This unlucky boy actually ran here to serve as a soldier.

The foreman officer of the Luqiao Company couldn't help thinking of his son who was a soldier in Dongguang, and immediately raised the walkie-talkie: "Mr. Hao, Mr. Wang, I am Wang Dajun, please answer."

"Got it, what's the matter?"

"I met a kid who came here from Binjiang to serve as a soldier. He said that the supplies of his army could not be brought in, he didn't even eat dinner, and he was hungry and thirsty at the moment. He asked if we had water, and wanted to spend money to talk to us. purchase."

Before the large troop set off, water and dry food were distributed, and a lot of water and instant noodles, and even dozens of boxes of fruit were loaded onto the cart.

Zhang Erxiao couldn't have done a better job in logistics support along the way, and the water and dry food on the cart were not needed at all.

Hao Qiusheng not only served as a soldier, but also led a soldier.

Hearing what the subordinate said, I felt very uncomfortable, and said without thinking: "Let that child call a few people to move, and I will tell him about the instructor."

"Okay, I'll let that kid go back and call someone."

"and many more."

"Mr. Hao, tell me."

"The Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau not only sent a few ships of emergency supplies, but also sent a lot of mineral water and dry food. We have Mr. Zhang in charge of logistics, and we don't need it. There are several troops on and off the embankment. Let that child inform them Leader, I will ask XCMG to notify the heads of several other units, and let the heads of several units go to the instructors."

"Row!"

Mineral water and instant noodles are not worth a few dollars, but they are extremely precious to the more than 600 officers and soldiers whose supplies cannot be delivered!
As soon as Yang Jianbo and Qiu Xueliang finished counting the figures of various supplies, the heads of several troops came over with embarrassment.

Zhang Erxiao prepared a sumptuous supper for the big guys, and even prepared boiling water.Moreover, the logistics support vehicles of the Linghai Reserve Battalion have the right to pass through first. I just called and said that it will be delivered in half an hour at most.

The battalion does not need so much mineral water, instant noodles, ham sausage and other dry food for the time being. Yang Jianbo asked the number of troops, and immediately asked the soldiers of the Binjiang Military Region's guard platoon to take them to move.

Many people are powerful.

The leaders of several units gave an order, and the boys who had worked for six hours regained their energy, and soon moved to their rest places to distribute.

One pack of instant noodles per person, two sticks of ham sausage per person, and one bottle of mineral water per person.

The soldiers gobbled it up, ate with relish, and drank extremely sour.

A soldier quickly finished drinking the water, patted Xu Xiaoming on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaoming, you guys are righteous, if it weren't for you, we don't know when we will have something to eat, and we don't know when we will have water drink."

"Yes, Xiaoming, you have a good relationship with fellow villagers, and you have made a great contribution this time!"

"This year's selection of outstanding soldiers, I promise to vote for you!"

What fellow?

Linghai people don't recognize me as a fellow at all!

Xu Xiaoming was both happy and sad, he really didn't know how to explain it, so he could only giggle.

……

The work on the construction site was in full swing, but it was the preliminary preparations for emergency construction.

The construction access road should be built on the embankment, and a return yard should be repaired on the embankment, otherwise the dump truck will not be able to turn around.

At the same time, the embankment needs to be strengthened. After the embankment is strengthened, a small temporary pier will be built so that the excavator can drive the ferry and piling on the water outside the gate.

Media reporters are as busy as the propaganda cadres from various units. Some are taking photos at the construction site, some are going to the headquarters on the dike to interview leaders such as Deputy Mayor Xu, Secretary Zheng, and Deputy Mayor Shen, and some are interviewing and participating in the war. The officers and soldiers of the various troops...

Lao Ge, the leader of the publicity and reporting team, did not become idle because of this, on the contrary, he became busier than before.

At this stage, the roads and bridges leading to here can only allow vehicles transporting emergency supplies to pass through, and the passenger cars for transferring personnel can only leave after dawn.

He sat in Iveco in the publicity and reporting group, flipped through the blank materials he called Yao Gong to prepare, and looked up and asked, "Where's the red sleeve?"

"It's ready, and it's brought, in that cardboard box inside."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier."

Lao Ge got up, walked over to open the carton, found a red sleeve of the "Senior Expert Group", put it on his arm, and fastened it with a pin with the help of Yao Gong and Vice Minister Li, so that others would know that he was a senior expert at a glance .

Although Vice Minister Li is a deputy regiment-level officer, his political and social status in Linghai is far worse than that of Lao Ge, the former traffic director who once held great power. He has always respected Comrade Lao Ge and complimented him without losing the opportunity: " Ge Ju, wearing this sleeve will make a difference."

"What's the difference? The main reason is that there are too many people, and they all wear the sleeves of their respective positions, which makes it easier to distinguish."

Lao Ge chuckled, and then changed the topic: "Continue to talk about the business, didn't the 132 regiment send a military staff officer, please come over."

"Okay, I'll go shout."

"Mr. Yao, you are engaged in engineering technology like me. It is not difficult for you to fill in these materials. Xianyu is too busy, and Mr. Hao has no time to organize and direct the construction. I can only ask you to help fill it out."

Rescue the emergency, just do the emergency, and actually engage in those formalisms, but thinking that what Ge Ju did was out of ulterior motives, Yao Lirong felt that it was necessary, so he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll fill it in."

"Fill in carefully and neatly!"
