” Quick, sandbag! Sandbag!”

At four o’clock in the morning, before dawn, danger once again appeared on the river embankment that the Fourth Company was responsible for.

There was a portion of the riverbank that was overflowing with water.

This meant that there were cracks or holes under the river bank.

This kind of thing was not rare.

The riverbanks were all made of soil, and the soil riverbanks had ant holes, rat holes, or even snake holes.

Usually, no one would care, and no one would really care about such things.

However, once the flood came, the small holes from ant nests or rat holes would be expanded by the flood, which would lead to the danger of breaking and overflowing.

In fact, so far, the incidents in various places were basically caused by this reason.

Now that they had discovered it in the area that the 4th Company was responsible for, Wu Jian feng’s scalp immediately went numb. He urgently ordered his men to try throwing sandbags on the other side of the water.

However, it was useless. The flood was too rapid. In the turbid flood, the sandbag disappeared after being thrown into it.

No, rope, bring the rope over!”

Wu Jian Feng bellowed. He was ready to take a risk to check the situation underwater.

He had to know how big the hole was. And if possible, he could just go into the water and fill it up with sandbags.

No, Captain, what are you going to do? Even if you have a rope, you probably won’t be able to get out of this flood!”

When the instructor heard Wu Jian Feng’s words, his expression changed.

The villagers nearby who were helping were the same. The villager in charge immediately ran over and advised,”Company Commander Wu, you can’t do that. The flood is too rapid, and the rope might break. If it really breaks, you won’t be able to come back up!”

“If i don’t go down and the riverbank really collapses, the entire village behind us and even the nearby villages will be in danger!”

At this point, he looked at the instructor and said seriously,”Old Tan, we are soldiers!”

The instructor was stunned.

“Alright, let’s go together then. Squad Leader One, where’s the rope? Hurry up and bring the rope over, and prepare more sandbags!”

“Quick, quick, quick, how many sandbags are there?”

On Wang Ye’s side, many of the recruits had blisters on their hands.

He kept swinging his hoe and shovel. Putting aside the aching pain in his arms, it was very normal for his palms to form blisters due to continuous work.

However, no one was talking about this now. Even though the blisters were painful, they endured it and continued to work.

Now, Zheng Ke brought his men over and asked for sandbags in a hurry. He even asked how many there were!

Kang Hua, who was leading everyone to work, hurriedly asked,”What’s wrong? The sandbags had been filling up, and that was all.””Did something happen on the riverbank?” Kang Hua pointed at the sandbags behind everyone and asked again.”

” There’s a hole in the river bank,” Zheng Ke said.” The captain and the others are preparing to enter the water!””

“Ah! How can this be!” Kang Hua’s expression changed.

“I know this won’t work. I’ll fight for it later.

Now, all of you carry the sandbags. Also, all of you continue to speed up and bag them as soon as possible.”

The two of them spoke very quickly, but Wang Ye and the others could hear them clearly.

At this moment, the expressions of Wang Ye, or rather, the recruits, changed.

“Instructor, Deputy Lian, I’ll go help too!”

Wang Ye ran to the two of them with the shovel.

“Yes, we’ll go too!”

“I can swim too. I’ll go!”

Wang Ye’s voice attracted the attention of the other recruits who were digging and filling sandbags.

Everyone gathered around.

Zheng Ke looked at everyone and his expression changed slightly. However, he immediately scolded,”What are you talking about? Just do your job well. We don’t need you now, and it’s not your turn.”

“I’m not afraid of death. Besides, my swimming skills are very good. 1 don’t think I’ll die if I really go into the water!” Wang Ye was really confident. At most, he would just add points.

He had twice the physical strength of an ordinary person. If he maxed out his swimming skill, even if he was really washed away by the flood, Wang Ye felt that he should be able to climb up from the shore and that doesn’t make him a martyr.

“Yes, we are not afraid of death!”

“What? You want first-class merit! Not before we get it!”Ye San Shi, who had come with Zheng Ke, smiled at the recruits and said,”

It sounded as if the veterans were bullying the new recruits and wanted to snatch the credit, but the truth was that Wang Ye believed that no one was thinking about this at all.

Even now, after being reminded by him, Wang Ye believed that no one would want this thing.

After all, although first-class merit was good, it was something that could be exchanged with one’s life!

“Alright, stop dawdling. Hurry up and carry the sandbag!”

“Dong dong The sound of the gong rang out from the riverbank once again and ran all the way to the village behind.

“Quick, quick, get up, get up. Those who are at home have come out to run towards the riverbank!”

In the village behind, Li San Er had stolen something yesterday. In addition, the situation on the river bank was under control. Some people from the families had actually returned to sleep.

However, now that they found a hole in the river bank leaking water, the gong sounded again.

They had to let these people who had returned evacuate again. Otherwise, if it really burst, their lives might be in danger if they stayed here.

“Something has happened. Get ready. Let’s go out and take a look!”

Not far away from the military transport vehicle, in an off-road vehicle, the female reporter and photographer had been filming the flood until two in the morning. They had not slept for two hours in the car when the sound of a gong suddenly sounded outside, startling them.

“Brother Wang!”

On Wang Ye’s side, Peng Yu hang was holding the bag while Wang Ye was quickly shovelling the sand and filling it. When he heard Peng Yu Hang’s voice, Wang Ye raised his head and glanced at him.

“Are the Company Commander and the others really going to go into the flood?”

“This is definitely not a joke. There’s a hole in the river bank, so we have to block it!””

As soon as Wang Ye finished speaking, Kang Hua saw the veterans carrying the sandbags and following Zheng Ke. He gritted his teeth and went straight to Wang Ye’s side. He took the sandbag that had not been filled from Peng Yu Hang’s hand and tied it up with a rope.

“Wang Ye, 1’11 leave the sand digging work here to you. Hurry up and organise everyone to fill the sandbags!”

After saying that, he carried the sandbag and ran.

“Instructor!”

Wang Ye shouted.

“Don’t follow me. You have your own things to do. The sandbag is also very important.”

After saying this, he stomped his feet and turned around to look at Wang Ye,”This is an order, understand?”

“Yes, sir!

ii

Wang Ye gritted his teeth and replied. Then, he turned around and continued to work hard.

The order had already been given. Although Wang Ye really wanted to follow and see the situation, he could only accept the order now.

He had no choice. He was a soldier, and it was his duty to obey orders.

Soon, Kang Hua ran away as well.

At the same time, another dispute was going on the riverbank.

“What are you doing?”

Wu Jian Feng looked at Zheng Ke, who had just come over with a sandbag. As soon as he put it down, he ran in front of him and snatched the rope from him.

Zheng Ke smiled.” Haha, Company Commander. Don’t forget that I’m the deputy company commander. We’re still in the middle of a war, right?”

You still have to stay behind to command the entire company, and my mission as the deputy company commander is to be the assault team leader on the battlefield. At this time, it’s only reasonable for me to go!”

“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m the company commander.”Wu Jian Feng glared.

Naturally, he knew what Zheng Ke said was true.

In the army, the deputy company commander was usually responsible for assisting the company commander. However, when a war really broke out, as long as an assault team was needed, and there was a deputy company commander in the company, the deputy company commander would definitely be the assault team leader.

Zheng Ke wasn’t scared by Wu Jian Feng’s glare.” Company commander, don’t bestubborn. Fighting floods is also a battle. If we really can’t get up, the company still has to fight.

You’re the company commander, so it’s your responsibility to command the entire company. I’m the deputy company commander, so the assault is my responsibility.

Now, let’s follow the rules.

Moreover, if you don’t do this kind of thing, how can 1 continue to be the deputy company commander when I go back?”

After Zheng Ke said this, he snatched the rope from Wu Jian Feng’s hand and tied it around his body.

“You…”

Wu Jian Feng still wanted to say something, but the instructor pulled him back. Then, he looked at Zheng Ke and said solemnly,”Elder Zheng, be careful. We won’t be pretentious anymore. You go first. If you can’t do it, we’ll come again!”

“Yes, I promise to complete the mission!”

Zheng Ke saluted and grinned.

He looked at the torrential flood at the side, completely unafraid of death.

This scene was coincidentally aimed at by the female reporters who had rushed over and their cameras.

Of course, no one cared about their arrival now, and they did not go up to disturb them.

Soon, Zheng Ke climbed up the raised flood wall and lay on the sandbag. His lower body was washed up when he entered the water.

His current position was seven or eight meters upstream from the hole.

The flood was too strong, and there was no way to reach the hole if they went straight down.

“There’s no one here to take the sandbag? Should we send it over?”

On Wang Ye’s side, after Kang Hua left, no one came over.

That was right. Now that Zheng Ke was going down, everyone’s hearts were in their throats. They were all looking at the rope that the company commander and some squad leaders were pulling and Zheng Ke who was half-submerged in the water. They didn’t have the mood or time to carry the sandbag.

If he wanted to take it, he had to figure out the situation below first.

Therefore, Peng Yu Hang said this to Wang Ye.

To be honest, Wang Ye was tempted.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ye said to his nearby comrades,”Hurry up and get two bags each. We’ll carry them over!”

If you don’t come and get it, I won’t be disobeying your orders, right?

In any case, Wang Ye didn’t care whether it counted or not. At most, he would just send it over and let him come back. Then, he would just come back.

But now, Wang Ye wanted to take a look first.
