After checking the weapons and ammunition, Captain Xiong asked to visit the defense project construction site.
The red sun was scorching and the heat was overwhelming. The soldiers danced with pickaxes and shovels, sweating like rain.
The northern defensive position is more than a thousand meters long. Shanzi specially led Captain Xiong to the third row of construction sites.
At this time, Jin Ye was in a trench not far away, using wooden poles to measure the depth and width of the trench, and checking whether the completed trench met the standards.
Following Shanzi's shouting, Jin Ye suddenly felt puzzled——
Why did such a skinny little old man allow all three leaders of the independent battalion to accompany him?
Thinking of this, Jin Ye walked along the chest-deep ditch and raised his sweat-soaked face towards Shanzi: "What are you talking about when you have nothing to do? Can't you see that people are busy?"
Unexpectedly, after listening to Shanzi's introduction, Jinye Liushen panicked and climbed out of the trench with hands and feet. Due to the steep walls of the trench, he failed to climb up twice in a row.
In a fit of anger, Jin Ye cursed angrily: "Stubborn boy, you are blind, right? Please pull it out."
Shanzi then bent down and pulled Jin Ye's hands out of the trench.
"Report to the detachment leader that Jin Ye has arrived."
Jin Ye saluted and shouted breathlessly.
Captain Xiong smiled silently and kept looking at Jin Ye's face——
Although Jin Ye's face has been baked into a bright red by the sun, the round face is still tender and tender. Looking at the two big round eyes, they are constantly flashing under the sunlight, making them particularly energetic and bright.
In addition to the round face and eyes, Jinye's mouth has a special feature that is rare among ordinary people. It looks small and exquisite, just like a ripe red cherry. Every time it squirms, it is so eye-catching.
Captain Bear couldn't help but secretly wonder——
No matter how you look at it, the girl in front of you is simple yet delicate, showing off your ladylike demeanor.
Sure enough, Captain Xiong verified his judgment through Yumei's introduction.
When Captain Xiong wanted to shake hands with Jin Ye, Jin Ye wiped the dirt on his hands and said, "Look at how sloppy these hands are, so I might as well not shake hands."
Captain Xiong smiled and said nothing, still holding out his skinny hands.
Seeing this, Jin Ye was embarrassed and embarrassed. He hurriedly turned his right hand over and over from the lapel of his clothes, wiped it several times, and then stretched it towards Captain Xiong.

Before dawn, Captain Xiong, his secretary and guards rode out of the camp. Accompanied by Shan Zi and Xiao Liu, they visited the commanders and soldiers of the second and third companies, and returned to Circle Ridge two days later.
The next night, forty donkey carts gathered at Huanhuanling to transport weapons and ammunition to the detachment.
According to the agreement reached between Shanzi and Captain Xiong, among the arms intercepted this time, all the mountain cannons, mortars, including all shells were handed over to the detachment, and the light and heavy machine guns and bullets were divided into two.
However, Captain Xiong reciprocated a pear by promising to return the goods to the Independent Battalion with reinforced concrete and explosives for use in building various fortifications.
While the weapons were being loaded, Captain Xiong invited Shanzi to a secluded place: "Zikai, I only found out about you and Platoon Leader Wang when I visited Heya Village today. Both parents have the same attitude and expressed opposition."
Shanzi shuddered and made no verbal excuse.
Captain Xiong added: "We advocate freedom of love and freedom of marriage, but after all, you and Platoon Leader Wang share the same ancestor and surname. Thousands of years of rural rules and customs are deeply ingrained and cannot be shaken in a short time."
Shanzi remained silent, feeling almost suffocated in the silence.
Captain Xiong continued: "My personal point of view is that we should respect folk customs at present, otherwise it will have an extremely negative impact on our team. You are a smart person, and you hope to take care of yourself. Don't make mistakes in your life style. It is not worth it."
.”
Seeing that Shanzi didn't say a word, Captain Xiong asked seriously: "Wang Zikai, can you do what you just said?"
Shanzi answered with difficulty: "Yes."
Captain Xiong nodded: "I heard from your mother that Yumei has been very close to you since she was a child. In the past few years, many marriage proposals were rejected because of you. Remember this, I will be a matchmaker for you two.
"
When Shanzi heard this, his face was livid with anger. Fortunately, it was dark and Captain Xiong didn't notice it at all.
