As night gradually approached, the First Division stopped moving forward and began to camp and sleep.

Engineer positions!

The engineers and infantry involved in the construction did not sleep, but continued to work in raincoats.

"Brothers, work harder. The General Staff said it would take five days to reach Yongding. They said five days! How could we be so slow? According to me, we can arrive in three days. Do you have confidence?"

"have."

"One two one, come on, one two one, come on!"

"The blasting team exploded the broken cliff in front of it."

"yes."

"Excavator team, after blasting, excavation work will be carried out."

"yes."

"The logging group, take a chainsaw and log up the mountain, use wood to lay the water holes, so that the truck behind them will not get stuck."

"yes."

The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon it became a constant rain. At dawn the next day, the sky was gray and there was no ray of sunshine, and the rain still didn't listen.

"Continue to move forward." Xia Jun looked at the weather, and the rain might not be able to stop for a while.

After a night of construction, all five construction sites in front were unblocked, and the night construction personnel quickly moved to rest. The new personnel entered the daytime construction and rushed to the construction site in front. The General Staff launched a new arrangement for the sudden outbreak of the heavy rain. The construction sites in front became eight, and four infantry battalions were dispatched to assist in the construction.

Not every construction site has an excavator, and the excavator has high requirements for roads, so it is only the front construction site that has excavator operations.

"Report to the Chief, a landslide occurred on the 182 section, please support."

"Please wait." The General Staff replied after receiving the call. Liu Wenhong asked the staff: "Which battalion is the closest to Section 182?"

The staff officers quickly spread out the map and called to inquire.

"It's the 08th Battalion of the Third Regiment."

"Order Battalion 08 to get off the bus and rush to the landslide section to cooperate with the cleaning operation, so that they can pay attention to the possibility of landslides on the road again."

"yes."

With the arrival of heavy rain, the first division's march was getting slower and slower, and it was very difficult to advance every time. On this narrow road, once a truck fell into a puddle, the entire team basically had to stop.

Due to the narrow road, it is not very convenient to mobilize.

However, this is not the biggest problem. After all, these are easy to solve. The biggest problem is that the heavy rain causes the river to surge, and a pontoon bridge must be built to pass.

The pontoon bridge was not so fast, and the troops paused several times in the mud for several hours before they could advance.

"Look, can we arrive in Yongding in 5 days?" Xia Jun stood on the hill and looked at the moving team with a telescope, and asked the staff around him.

"Principal, I think it should be fine. I have already left half of it now." Liu Wenhong said optimistically, and Chen Xuanyu smiled and said, "It's not easy to leave for a short section after this!"

"It doesn't matter whether we can reach it within five days. We just try our best to pursue it. Our Fujian First Division can deal with a road like Fujian, and there is still a road that cannot be dealt with in the future." Xia Jun also laughed. It is definitely the most challenging to carry out marching exercises in Fujian. There are no such bad road conditions as Fujian in the eastern, central, southern and northern provinces.

The next day, the entire team only advanced 32 kilometers. The troops advanced like snails, but at least they were still moving forward, and some chaos occurred during the march.

These reasons for chaos are recorded one by one, and these are valuable experiences!

Due to heavy rain, some soldiers fell ill during construction, and these soldiers were soon sent to the field hospital behind for treatment.

The field hospitals of the First Division of Fujian are definitely considered high-end. All the doctors in it are replaced by Chinese. No foreign doctors are recruited, but the medical equipment in it is beyond this era. For this reason, the doctors also signed confidentiality agreements and must not leak any information about the equipment and medicines of the field hospital to outsiders. The soldiers entering the hospital for treatment cannot understand whether the equipment is advanced.

The First Division was moving forward tenaciously in the heavy rain. After two days of rain, it finally stopped. The road had become extremely muddy, and most of the soldiers were covered with yellow mud.

As soon as the rain stopped, the speed of the march immediately increased. With the efforts of all the soldiers in the division, they finally arrived in Yongding County successfully on the fifth day. The magistrate of Yongding County was frightened to death.

However, the First Division also entered the county town, but instead stationed outside the county town.

Xia Jun asked the First Division to repair it in Yongding for five days. During these five days, the General Staff and officers at all levels held a marching discussion to summarize and resolve the problems that arise during the marching.

The General Staff immediately adjusted the return march plan. On June 1, on Children's Day, the Fujian First Division returned to Jian'an on the same route.

The return march was much more orderly, and the roads had been built, so the march speed was much faster than when it came, and the chaotic command situation was much less.

In just three days, the First Division returned to Jian'an.

At this time, the road protection movement was gradually approaching its climax, and Xia Jun also stepped up the combat training of the First Division.

After several months of training, those technical troops have basically improved greatly. The most important scouts are no longer a problem in drawings, but there is still a lack of some in artillery guidance.

As soon as he returned to Jian'an, the telegrapher received a telegram from Peru.

Xia Jun read the telegram submitted, which was sent by Chen Jiayi from Peru. The telegram reported that he had registered a company in Peru and could open a fish meal processing factory after the equipment for processing fish meal arrived.

Xia Jun, the equipment that opened a fish meal processing plant, had been transported out long ago, which was the equipment that produced 5,000 tons of fish meal per year.

Just after the marching exercise, the First Division returned to the barracks and immediately a spy happened. On June 6, a Japanese spy slipped into the barracks for no reason and ran outside the warehouse by him. Fortunately, he was discovered by sentries and shot him dead on the spot.

The military camp was actually lurked by Japanese spies, which shocked the First Division very much.
