On the night of March 4th, Wei Ran had no chance to rest at all, nor did he see Ke Na's roommate, so he started working under the urging of a girl who came over on skis for help and Ke Na's guidance.

.

Slightly clumsily, he used a blank shotgun and a small hammer to start the crawler-type bulldozer outside the tent. After some exploration, Weiran finally relied on the help of his grandfather driving a four-wheel tractor during the high school summer vacation and

I once had the experience of fighting in a tank as a mechanical and electrical engineer, and successfully maneuvered this open-top bulldozer.

Guided by the two red lights hung on the backs of Kona and another girl, Weiran drove the bulldozer rumbled forward on the snow-covered ice.

Naturally, the speed of this bulldozer was too high to catch up with the two girls on skis, but even so, the strong wind and snowflakes blowing in front of him forced Wei Ran to press his feet against the joystick, leaving his hands free to take out the metal book.

The goggles were fastened to his face.

After running after the two red lights for almost twenty minutes with the squeaking noise of the tracks and the roar of the engine, the two girls also stopped.

"Victor, on the road ahead of us on the left, there is a section of ice cracked in front of us. We have to go around in circles to the left to clear a new route."

Kona, who came up on her skis, took a breath and continued, "When you follow my red light, we have to clear a three-meter-wide road, and you need to shovel back and forth three or four times."

"clear!"

Wei Ran responded loudly, and after the opponent pulled away, he immediately put down the bulldozer, pushed the snow on the ice, and followed the opponent to draw an arc on the ice.

Although he couldn't see what was happening on the cracked ice, he could still see the flashing red light at the center of the circle dozens of meters away, the vaguely raised butt of the truck, and a crawler that seemed to be preparing to pull it up.

tractor.

After driving in a circle like this for a hundred meters, the ice road that had been lined up on the road just now appeared in front of the car.

Under the command of Kona, Weiran clumsily manipulated the bulldozer, which was not very powerful, to connect the road he had just driven with the road in front of him, and then turned around and followed his path.

The new road that had just been opened was pushed back and the road surface was widened.

When he connected the other end of the new road to the old road and turned around to clear the snow in the middle of the road, two sledges pulling a load of pine needles and reeds appeared behind him.

On the two sledges, there were several children who didn't seem to be much older than Kona. They used forks to spread the load on the newly opened road.

Behind the two sledges, there were two more sledges pulling buckets heated by fire, spraying water on the road as they walked.

With the help of the low temperature of -40 to 50 degrees below zero, the steaming water immediately froze together with the snow and turned into a sticky ice shell as soon as it was poured on the pine needles and weeds.

At this time, two more sledges followed, sprinkling a large amount of sawdust mixed with sand on the road. Behind them were trucks and sledges of various powers that were busy on their way.

Even if there is no need to explain, Wei Ran, who is driving the bulldozer at the front, can definitely guess it just by taking a look. The pine needles and weeds sprinkled on the first layer are like steel bars in concrete, and the warm water sprinkled next is like steel bars in concrete.

Such as adhesives, and the sawdust and sand are used to provide limited resistance to prevent the trucks walking on it from slipping, and at the same time, the resistance of the animal-drawn sledges will not be too great.

In less than half an hour, the blocked ice road was reopened to traffic, but the work of the Weifang did not end.

Under the command of Kona, he helped the tractor pull up the truck with most of its front end stuck in the ice hole.

As soon as he unhooked the trailer, several sledges ventured to park on the edge of the ice hole and threw various branches and weeds into the ice hole. Then, several militiamen waved shovels and threw them into the hole.

The snow was thrown into the ice cave one spade after another.

"Victor, your work is not over yet."

Kona once again stepped on her skis and approached Wei Ran, who was busy packing up the trailer cables. She pointed at the new road that had just been opened and said, "You need to roll out windshields of at least one meter high on both sides of that section of road.

That’s all.”

"no problem!"

Wei Ran happily agreed and threw the newly bundled steel cables into the basket welded with steel bars at the rear of the car. "I remember the way back. You don't need to be here anymore. Go back and rest first."

"I have to go on duty on a new road." Kena pointed in the direction of the ice cave. "A companion just fell in. There is one less person here."

Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and quickly climbed onto the bulldozer while saying, "Pay attention to safety!"

"You too!" After Kona finished speaking, she already held up her ski poles with both hands and slid out lightly.

Driving the bulldozer to the side of the road that he had pushed out by himself, Wei Ran repeated the boring work of pushing the surrounding snow to the roadside over and over again.

This job was far more troublesome than before. Not only did he have to retreat and move forward over and over again, but he also had to create a fork in the road for evacuation every once in a while.

And whenever the anti-aircraft searchlights lit up in the distant night sky, and others could go to the fork he drove and run away from the road, he could only continue to work in fear - he was driving a bulldozer that was so slow that even skis could not catch up.

, you can't run away even if you want to.

Since you can't run away, you can only choose to trust the air defense positions in the distance and continue working as if nothing happened.

In his busy schedule, a one-meter-high windshield wall was finally built on both sides of this 100-meter-long arc-shaped temporary road. But before he could take a break, there was a man who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.

A 20-year-old boy came up to him on skis and anxiously asked him to help him pull up a truck that was lying on the road more than 200 meters away in the direction of Cobona.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That night, Weiran almost never got off the bulldozer, and the bulldozer was almost never idle.

Build roads, tow trucks, build wind walls, clear snow and slush on the road, even bury militiamen and transport team members who died suddenly or were killed in bombings, and drag oil drums to refuel trucks.

It was dawn, and Wei Ran finally finished all his work. Shivering, he drove the bulldozer and followed Kona, who was riding skis in front of him, back to the white tent.

Shivering, Wei Ran patted away the snow that had almost frozen into ice shells on his body. When Wei Ran followed Ke Na into the tent, one of the two beds was still empty, and on the other bed, there was still a man lying watching.

There was a girl about the same age as Ke Na, who was wrapped in a blanket and sleeping soundly.

"That's Ekaterina," Kona introduced in a low voice, and at the same time poured a glass of hot water for Wei Ran.

"I said hello to her when I came here." Wei Ran took the cup and held it in his hand, and then trembled involuntarily.

"She has been working on the ice for several months," Kona said in a low voice. "Strictly speaking, she is responsible for commanding this technical service point."

"Where are the others?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.

"There are two girls, they have probably gone to work now."

As she spoke, Ke Na had already taken off the red lantern hanging from her waist, extinguished it and handed it to Wei Ran. She then took out a few pieces of letter paper and a pen from the box beside the bed, and used a volume of "Resurrection" to pad it.

Under the letter, he sat on the lid of the airdrop box and said, "Help me add some oil to the signal light. Then you can go to sleep for a while. I will wake you up later during the meal. Now I want to help my brothers and sisters."

I wrote a reply."

"You should also go to bed early." Wei Ran yawned as he took the signal light, turned around and left the small cubicle.

When he came to the next door, he lit the kerosene lamp first. He took off his ice-crusted clothes and hung them on the hook hanging above his head. Then he found the oil barrel and funnel, removed the oil can of the signal lamp and filled it with kerosene.

After finishing the last bit of work, Wei Ran took off his frozen felt boots and outer trousers, and lay down on the narrow camp bed, absorbing the warmth from the stove next door through the thin canvas partition, and listening attentively.

Listen to the rustling sound when the pen tip rubs against the letter paper.

After an unknown amount of time, Kona finally finished writing the reply and stood up with a yawn.

Contrary to Wei Ran's expectation, the girl did not wake him up. Instead, she quietly slipped into the cubicle where he was sleeping. She first helped extinguish the kerosene lamp on the table, then picked up the filled signal lamp and stepped on it.

The skis left the warm tent.

Naturally, Wei Ran would not chase after the girl, so he simply closed his eyes and wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, and soon fell into a dream.

When he was woken up by the clear and loud sound of the alarm clock, Kona's call came to his ears, "Victor, come over and have something to eat. By the way, bring the radio and generator."

"Right away!" Wei Ran rubbed his face and sat up while responding to the other party.

Carrying the radio in one hand and the not-so-big pedal-type generator in the other, when Weiran rushed to the next door, there were already a few pieces of black bread and a steaming meal on the lid of the airdrop box next to the stove.

Red cabbage soup.

At this time, Kona and the girl named Ekaterina were sitting on their knees by the fire, each holding a piece of bread in one hand and red cabbage soup in the other, eating and talking about something.

"Should I start working after I finish eating?" Wei Ran said as he put the radio at the end of the bed.

"You still have five hours to rest."

Kona had already taken the generator while she was talking, and sat skillfully on the side of the boat, glaring at the generator while adjusting the channel, "Eat quickly, I just gave the reply to Kelai Luo, he knows you are here

I’m working, and I even brought you a gift.”

"What gift?" Wei Ran sat down curiously and asked.

"In your cabbage soup." The girl named Ekaterina pointed to the wooden soup bowl placed on the lid of the box.

Curiously, he picked up the spoon and picked up the soup bowl, and just fished it out casually. Wei Ran was stunned. There was actually a peeled hard-boiled egg in the thick beetroot soup!

"It was brought by Kelailuo"

Kona pointed to an extra bag on the table by the door, "He got five boiled eggs in total. I asked him to bring the other four to his younger brothers and sisters. The remaining one..."

"You two can eat the remaining one."

As he spoke, Wei Ran had already divided the hard-boiled eggs in the bowl into two halves, and while forcefully giving them to the two thin girls, he lied, "It would be fine if it was meat, but I am very allergic to eggs, and I don't want to

I was sent to the hospital on my first day here.”

"When did you become allergic to eggs?" Ke Na looked at Wei Ran suspiciously.

"I've been allergic to eggs for as long as I can remember"

Wei Ran took a big mouthful of red cabbage soup as a matter of course, then tore open the black bread in his hand and threw it in.

Compared with the bread I had eaten in the basement before, I could finally taste the unique aroma of flour in this piece of bread, and there was nothing that I couldn't chew.

"You must not lie to me"

As Kona said, she started turning on the generator again, and the radio also started to play intermittent music after a tingling noise.

"This song..." Kena was stunned for a moment, then sped up the movements of her feet.
