Zhang Yi and others rode horses back and forth along the Yalu River for several kilometers before finding a suitable place to cross the river.
The river surface is only about 500 meters, but the current is very fast and not suitable for boat crossing, so both the enemy and us ignored this important place.
"Did I hear you right? Chairman Zhang, do you want to build a bridge to let the army pass?" Fu Xiang suddenly realized and asked in surprise.
It is obvious that Zhang Yijun came from the Loess Plateau and did not own a single ship. If he wanted to build a bridge, he would have to cut down wood. It would be impossible to build a bridge across the river within a month or two.
"Even if the wooden bridge can be built, it will be two months later. Is it too late?" Before Zhang Yi could answer, Fu Xiang added, "Besides, the enemy can set the wooden bridge on fire with just one fire. I'm afraid it will be a waste of effort."
ah!"
"Who said it would take two months? Who said building a wooden bridge?" Xiao Han shook his head and smiled, "I won't hide it from the chief of staff now. Chairman Zhang has already planned to cross the river. We can build it in just one night.
Get out of the iron bridge across the Yalu River!"
ah!?
Fu Xiang was stunned and speechless. Wasn't he bragging?
But when he saw Zhang Yi, Xiao Liu and others laughing confidently, this matter seemed to be certain. Who would make fun of military affairs?
However, even Fu Xiang couldn't believe that there would be such a miracle in the world. An iron bridge was built in one night? 500 meters long?
The more surprised Fu Xiang was, the more amused Xiao Liu felt.
No one gave Fu Xiang any more explanation. This was a military secret, and he would naturally know it by then. Without absolute certainty, how could Zhang Yi dare to fight this war of annihilation?
…
In the evening, Chen walked all the way back to the military camp, looking disappointed and depressed.
When he saw Zhang Yi, he just sighed and was speechless for a long time.
"Drink, bro!"
Speaking in broken Chinese, Vajim poured a glass of wine for Chen Yiyi and held it in front of him with both hands.
Zhang Yi, Xiaoliu and others couldn't help but laugh again. Vajim started to learn to speak Chinese, which was very interesting. This general usually didn't drink water, he drank wine as water, and he toasted someone with a glass of wine first.
Since he joined the officer corps, he has exerted a subtle influence. Everyone is accustomed to holding a glass of wine in their hands when they have nothing to do, and take a sip from time to time. Not to mention, it is really refreshing.
This is a Russian custom, and Zhang Yi respects it. As long as you don't drink too much, having a few drinks is still allowed.
It's a kind of fusion of national customs, it's harmless.
At this moment, Chen Yiyi really wanted to drink a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"Vice Premier Sun didn't listen to my persuasion and even reprimanded me," Chen Yiyi said angrily. "He also stopped me and refused to let me come over. I said that my identity was the liaison officer of the alliance committee and I had to follow the committee members.
Chief, he had no choice but to let me go!"
"I'm so angry. This guy, I wish I could have kicked him to death!" Xiao Liu shouted angrily, "Brother Chen, don't be angry. The person named Sun has no right to control you unless Zhao Junxi speaks and removes your status as liaison officer.
.”
"Liu'er." Zhang Yi reminded him that he should be polite when speaking.
"I don't care, let them do the trouble!" Chen Yiyi was really disappointed. He tried to persuade him, but he was scolded and scolded. He was also accused of collaborating with the enemy, turning his elbows outward, and scolding him no matter how unpleasant it sounded.
After everyone tried to persuade him with kind words, Chen Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yi unfolded the map and discussed the future battle plan. They talked passionately about it and the meeting ended at midnight.
…
The next day, before dawn, Zhang Yi and others got up, put on their armor, and left the camp to watch the battle by the river.
Good guys, a huge fleet has arrived. It can be seen that there are hundreds of wooden boats, densely gathered on the shore.
No wonder ancient people loved to use fire to attack, Zhang Yi thought, if a fleet like this was turned into a sea of fire if he asked the soldiers to throw a round of Molotov cocktails.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but become worried and used a telescope to look at the other side. Unfortunately, the morning fog was thick and he couldn't see anything.
If he rushes across the river to fight without knowing the enemy's situation, he may be in a disadvantageous situation. However, he knows that his worries are useless, because Vice Premier Sun insists on going his own way.
At this time, all of Greater China's 100,000-strong army gathered on the shore. The war horses neighed loudly, and all they had to do was beat gongs and drums to notify the enemy.
"Looking at how calm they are, it doesn't look like they are going to war, but like they are going to the market. I feel really sorry for them." Xiao Liuzhen couldn't stand it anymore and said kindly.
Commander Du Lin and other generals were seen commanding from the shore, allowing the soldiers to board the wooden boats, but there was no sign of Vice Premier Sun.
When hundreds of wooden boats were filled with people, Vice Premier Sun arrived belatedly. He was also wearing a suit of armor and a helmet, fully protected. He took long strides and imitated the military generals.
The appearance looks a bit nondescript.
"Vice Premier Sun, the enemy is fully prepared for battle. Beware of fire attacks and be careful of ambushes." Zhang Yi reminded, this was out of the sense of responsibility of the allies and they must speak out.
Chen Yiyi, Fu Xiang and Xiao Liu each held a notebook in their hands and took notes. At this moment, whoever said and did what they said must be recorded as a basis for future analysis of the war situation.
Vice Premier Sun knew that this was a historic moment and did not dare to speak nonsense, but he still couldn't control his mouth. A smile appeared on his cold face and said: "Chairman Zhang, don't worry too much. It doesn't matter whether it's a fire attack or an ambush."
That’s fine, but it’s just a small trick that can’t stop our army from advancing.”
Immediately, he walked to the shore and shouted.
"Brave soldiers, fearless warriors, today's battle is destined to go down in history forever. Hold the flag in your hands high, charge bravely, break through the enemy's defense line, chop off the enemy's head, and let the enemy know that the power of Greater China
Soldiers are invincible! I order you to march forward bravely and launch a fierce attack. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"
Commander Dulin boarded a wooden ship and issued an order.
"go ahead!"
The first wave of landing combat troops, about 10,000 people, boarded hundreds of wooden boats and sailed toward the other side in a mighty manner.
Vice Premier Sun was standing on the shore, and he did not go out with the soldiers.
This is an incredible thing in the eyes of Zhang Yi and others. Every time he fights, Zhang Yi himself will take the lead, and he requires his generals to also rush to the front.
Seeing the suspicious looks from Zhang Yi and others, Vice Premier Sun felt as if he had been pricked by a needle and shouted: "I am the warlord!"
Yes, the military governor could stay in the rear, but he overstepped his command, disrupted the order in the army, and emptied the command authority of Commander Dulin.
This is a fatal error.
Zhang Yi picked up the telescope and looked around. It seemed to be very calm at the moment. The soldiers were standing on the boat with their weapons in hand, and they could only hear the sound of wooden oars paddling in the water.
It's a bit strangely calm.
The river was 1,000 meters wide, and when the fleet was only 200 meters away from the other shore, suddenly, countless flaming arrows flew towards them.
