It was dawn soon.

The water at the breach seemed to be finally blocked!

"Listen to the teaching brigade, leave the staff on duty, the first, second and third squadrons rest for half an hour and have breakfast!"

Wen Zhixing stood under the embankment with an electric speaker in his hand and shouted.

The kitchen team rode a tricycle again and delivered porridge and buns to the dam.

Finally I can eat and rest.

After more than ten hours, Zhuangyan hadn't eaten a bite of it, and felt that her whole body started to feel chills and her hands and feet were a little numb.

A few minutes later, I sat on the grass not far from the embankment, solemnly holding a pot of porridge with three huge lean meat and leek buns on it.

But his hands were shaking and he couldn't hold on to the chopsticks.

Similar to the feeling of throwing a thousand grenades a day in the teaching team before, it was back.

A full thirteen hours.

I drank countless mouthfuls of water from others in the middle of the journey, but I only ate one egg.

"Fuck!"

Wang Datong next to him suddenly cursed.

"I can't hold the chopsticks..."

He turned his head and glanced at the solemn and smiled rattle.

"The same to you……"

Zhuangyan had no choice but to smile bitterly, put the rice basin on her knees, then poked a bun with chopsticks, and raised the bun to her mouth with both hands and took a bite.

"It's okay, my hands are gone," he said.

Wang Datong looked around and saw that almost everyone was learning to eat solemnly.

Sitting in the long queue by the grass, no soldier could use the chopsticks in his hand quickly.

Wang Datong suddenly stopped laughing.

He felt that he couldn't laugh anymore.

Wang Dazui, who has always loved to laugh the most, felt sad but proud.

"It's great to be a soldier with you!"

He suddenly said to himself inexplicably.

Zhuang Yan was stunned when she heard this, then nodded and said, "Big Mouth, so is I. I feel very proud to be a soldier with you."

"Brothers! Eat quickly! After eating, let's continue to fuck the flood!" Wang Dazui howled.

Everyone laughed.

"Yes! Eat quickly! Fuck the fuck!"

"With us here, the embankment must be there!"

Everyone's emotions were mobilized.

Suddenly, a convoy of more than a dozen cars of various types came on the mud road in the distance.

One of them is a dark green Cherokee Jeep.

No matter how you look at it, you feel familiar.

"stand up!"

Deputy Commander Huang, who had the highest military rank at the scene, gave an order with an electric speaker.

All the soldiers stood up with their rice bowl in a daze.

Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed in Zhuangyan's mind.

By the way!

Isn’t that Cherokee the special car of Deputy Commander Cai?

You can recognize it even if it is solemnly turned into ash!

I used to collect firewood myself and scattered on the concrete road outside the teaching team. This Cherokee and the abominable volunteer driver ridiculed me mercilessly and made me cry.

In the end, if Lao Qi hadn't come to help, he might have collapsed.

Get out of one of the jeeps a tall soldier wearing a camouflage uniform.

Wang Datong took a deep breath from the side and whispered: "Be good, it's a major general, the army commander is here!"

"Not only the commander, our division commander Wang and deputy commander Cai have arrived..."

"Mom, what are they here?"

"Old Cai is not easy to mess with... Some cadres are in trouble!"

Deputy Commander Cai, nicknamed Hei Lao Cai, has the darkest skin of the division-level cadre, just like a charcoal extracted from a fire pit, hence the name.

He is a famous black face for all teachers.

In the 1st Division, most senior officers have been on the battlefield, so most of them have some sharp style.

However, Zhuang Yan heard from the veteran that Hei Lao Cai is quite distinctive. He never trains soldiers, only trains officers. Once, Hei Lao Cai trained the deputy commander of a regiment to tears at the officers' meeting of officers above the division camp, crying like a child.

Therefore, all the officers of the division were afraid of Lao Cai, but the soldiers were not afraid of him.

"You are Huang Shaotao, the temporary commander here?" asked Chief Ye.

Deputy Commander Huang quickly stood at attention: "Yes! Deputy Commander Huang Shaotao of the 273rd Regiment reported to the commander, please give instructions."

"Don't do this!" Commander Ye's face darkened, and he pointed at Deputy Commander Huang and said, "It's flood control and rescue, not a rest time. According to the regulations, there is no need to stop and salute me!"

Deputy Commander Huang's face turned red after being criticized.

Commander Ye turned around and raised his hands to the soldiers around him to sit down, saying with a smile: "Everyone is sitting down, what should you do, stare at me on the dam, there is no need to stare at me, or stand straight, just a veteran with a higher level military rank, nothing good to look at. Besides, this is the scene of flood fighting and rescue, not on the playground of your division, so there is no need to be so restrained."

Deputy Commander Huang quickly issued an order: "Sit down."

All the officers and soldiers were very tired. I heard that they could sit down, so I was not polite and sat down immediately.

"Captain, why didn't you notify me in advance before coming?" asked Deputy Commander Huang.

Commander Ye said: "What are you notifying in advance? Wait for you to lay the red carpet? Or organize a welcome ceremony? I said Huang Shaotao, when did you become so fond of superficial kung fu?"

"I'm not..." Huang Shaotao was about to defend himself when he suddenly encountered the sharp gaze of Deputy Commander Cai behind Commander Ye, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Yes, it's my fault..."

From the trucks behind the convoy, local officials moved large aluminum barrels out of the truck one after another.

Commander Ye said: "The local government knew that you had fought here all night last night. They called Deputy Commander Gong and said they wanted to give me some comfort to the flood control troops here. The Deputy Commander asked me to lead the team..."

After saying that, his eyes turned and returned to Huang Shaotao.

"You did a good job last night and deserve praise, but you can't take it lightly. The location here is almost there, and there are still a few hours left. The fourth peak of the flood will pass here. Be sure to guard it carefully! If you are well guarded, I will ask for me personally. If you can't defend it, don't do it, you, the deputy commander, will be transferred to the business at the end of the year!"

"Yes! I promise to complete the task!" Huang Shaotao said with his chest raised and stood attentively.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. Remember, report the water situation every two hours, and you will never leave the dam tonight!"

"Yes! Commander!"

"Okay, after the serious business, I will talk about condolences." Commander Ye turned around and pointed to a middle-aged man behind him and said, "This is Secretary Deng from the local government. He sent ginger-stewed pig's feet to our flood-fighting officers and soldiers, which can drive away the cold and replenish the muscles and bones."

Deng Guihai came up and shook hands with Huang Shaotao, and repeatedly said, "Thank you for your hard work! Comrades of the People's Liberation Army!"

Before Huang Shaotao could answer, Deng Guihai shouted to the condolence team he brought: "Distribute pig's hooves to the comrades of the People's Liberation Army!"

Each of more than 30 local cadres carried a bucket of pig's feet and began to give the soldiers and officers sitting on the ground like mud monkeys...

Anyway, I can't tell you the troops or the officials anymore. I'm covered in mud, and only two eyes are cleaner.

Each person has two pig's feet and a bowl of ginger soup.

Zhuangyan asked the fragrance of pig's feet, and she almost drooled.

However, it was really embarrassing myself again why I ate these two pig's feet.

I can't hold the chopsticks, and I can't hold them with my hands...

Not only him, but also the people next to him.

In the end, everyone just drank soup and porridge, and didn't rush to eat pig's trotters.

Soon, Commander Ye, who was standing not far away, seemed to see the problem.

He walked towards the Third Squadron.

Wang Dazui touched Zhuangyan with his elbow and said, "Hey! Zhuangyan, I saw the army commander coming."

The soldiers of the Third Squadron immediately became nervous.

The squadron leader Zhou Huping was at a loss and quickly stood up from the ground.

"Stand up...all up..."
