At this time, Liu Yan wished he could see a boat.

But at this time, there were rolling waves on the water, and there were many dead trees and broken branches mixed in the flood, and there were undercurrents and whirlpools everywhere.

The boat couldn't move at all.

"Manager Liu, look, what is that?" a sharp-eyed worker said, pointing not far away in the northwest direction.

Liu Yan looked up, his eyes suddenly filled with brilliance: "It's the Guards!"

In the wind and rain, a golden flag that was wetted by rain drooped. But from a distance, it still looked very eye-catching in the gray wind and rain around it.

Soon the ranks of the escort gradually became clear.

Liu Yan quickly asked people to go back and call everyone in the living area over.

They must move out, otherwise everyone will be trapped and die here.

There is not much food stored in the living area. These workers rely on their labor to receive a certain amount of food and supplies every day.

If they can't get out, let alone the water level continuing to rise, it is very likely that the entire living area will be submerged. Even if the water level stops rising, they may starve to death.

The officers and soldiers of the 045th Brigade, the first three detachments to arrive here, were helpless when they saw the "big river" that was two hundred meters wide in front of them. The captain of the brigade was more cautious and did not dare to joke with the lives of his soldiers.

Soon the workers and their families all gathered at the river formed by the flood.

The workers' living area is like a small island, separated from the opposite shore by a large river.

"Manager Liu, why are there no movements from the escort troops on the opposite side? With such a wide water surface, I think it will be difficult for them to come over."

At this time, Liu Yan was also under great pressure, everyone was called over, and it was still raining.

The women and children were shivering in the violent storm.

When Dong Liang arrived, the people in the living area opposite had already gathered on the other side of the river formed by the flood.

He immediately gave the captain a slap in the face. It was like fighting a war at this time. He was afraid of danger and still had to fight with a hammer.

"Tang Lichun, do you still remember that on the ship, those foreign sailors used the cover of the storm to suddenly attack and prepare to seal everyone in the cabin? How did we fight on the shaking deck at that time?"

At that time, Tang Lichun was still an ordinary person selected by Dong Liang from among the Chinese workers.

He was not responsible for killing, he was only responsible for holding the spear on the ground and controlling it stably. He was a supporting role.

"Führer, do you mean to connect everyone with ropes and swim across?" Tang Lichun asked carefully.

Just now Dong Liang reprimanded the captain of the 045 Brigade. He also felt ashamed. His subordinates were cowardly and he was to blame. He had not done a good job in political work.

"You know, why don't you let everyone prepare?"

Tang Lichun repeatedly said yes and hurried down to make arrangements.

The team already carries a lot of ropes.

Teams of soldiers tied everyone's waists with ropes.

The sacks they brought also came in handy. They were loaded with earth and rocks and carried on their backs by the soldiers.

This way the soldiers can stand more firmly when in the water.

There were also some warriors carrying wooden stakes with sharpened ends.

They are preparing to build a pontoon bridge in the flood water several hundred meters wide.

As the first soldier walked into the water, a long line of soldiers were like dragons, extending from the shore into the water.

At first, the water surface only reached the soldier's calves.

But the further you go, the deeper the water becomes.

When the leading soldier reached the middle of the water, the water was already up to his neck.

But the rope connected him to his comrades behind him, which gave him peace of mind.

The Chinese workers who fought on the deck have now taken up important positions among the Chinese.

Those in the military are at least a captain or above.

The "Spirit of Connecting the Rope" has also become an important political education content among the Chinese Guards.

The soldier at the front inserted the spear in his hand into the water, like a pole, pushing himself forward.

The strong current seemed to wash him away, but the rope around his waist held him tightly.

The rope brings together the strength of all the warriors to fight against the turbulence.

The people on the isolated island seemed to be shocked when they looked at the scene in front of them.

From the time they can remember, it would be considered good if they saw soldiers who did not bully the people.

In order to save themselves and others, these soldiers even risked crossing the river.

Seeing the soldiers groping forward in the flood, everyone's hearts became tangled.

The soldier walking at the front suddenly staggered, and everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

The soldiers in the water also saw the people on the opposite side.

Seeing the people staring at them, everyone seemed to be filled with strength instantly.

The raging flood seemed to the soldiers to be like a small pond in front of their homes.

No matter how terrible the flood is, the united faith of the soldiers and the ardent expectations of the people will become insignificant.

"Nothing can stop the united Chinese escort army." Dong Liang said to the people around him.

This was the first time Guan Yan saw such a scene, and his face turned red with excitement. He really wanted to compose a poem at this time.

On one side are the people who are looking forward to it, and on the other are the guards who are not afraid of hardships.

Teacher of kings!

"Führer, the momentum of our escort is unprecedented."

Dong Liang nodded: "The army protects the people, and the people will love the army, which in turn can enhance the military's sense of honor. An army with a high sense of honor will arm them not only with equipment, but also with ideas."

He always wanted to build a thoughtful army.

The current escort cannot meet his requirements, but it is getting closer step by step.

"Unity is strength, unity is strength, this strength is iron, this strength is steel..."

I don’t know who took the lead, but the soldiers who were still on the shore sang military songs for their comrades.

The leading soldier finally crossed the deep water area. Everyone's hearts were filled with joy.

The ropes were tied to the big trees at both ends. The soldiers used the traction of the ropes to swing the sledgehammers in their hands and drive the wooden piles into the water one by one.

At this time, God seemed to open his eyes, and the rainstorm suddenly stopped.

There was a gap between the dark clouds in the sky, and a ray of sunshine shone on the formation of the shore guards.

When the common people saw this scene, they thought it was a miracle and knelt down in the direction of the escort one after another.

The escort soldiers also looked in the direction of the military flag.

That's where the sun shines. Under a golden flag, Dong Liang's tall figure stands.

Well, Dong Liang didn't want to engage in feudal superstition, nor did he want to engage in personality worship.

He is passive.

In such a scene, he really couldn't spoil everyone's interest.

If they kneel down, just kneel down, as if they are kneeling down to the flag of the Guards.

"Long live the head of state, long live the Chinese people!" Someone took the lead, and everyone followed and shouted.

Dong Liang knew that the wind had not stopped yet, and the rain did not know when it would fall again.

He quickly asked the soldiers to organize the people to cross the river, and this was not the only place affected by the disaster.

This temporary pontoon bridge was only a foot wide to prevent anyone from falling into the water.

The soldiers of the escort formed a row in the water and held up the edge of the plank.

Gu Alin was carrying his daughter on his back, and his wife was holding her son who was less than two years old in her arms. She walked behind him, following every step.

He used to do odd jobs on the dock and barely support his family of four.

Now he is employed by the shipyard, and his family has been assigned two tile-roofed houses. Although the family is bare, with a stable job and a decent house, Gu Alin's family finally has hope.

But at this time, a flood happened, and the family's house, which was on the edge of the residential area, was flooded.

Fortunately, the whole family is fine.

At this moment, as he stood on the narrow pontoon, his heart felt unexpectedly at ease.

Looking at the escort soldiers standing in the water with only their heads exposed, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
