    Hu Congjun was also anxious. Accompanied by Zhang Xian, he personally came to the river bank to inspect the progress of the engineering corps' bridge construction.

    At this time, the person responsible for the task of building the bridge was the independent engineering regiment reorganized from the 18th Army. Commander Dong of this engineering regiment was also an old man who had experienced many battles. He had entered this area since the 18th Army was stationed in Sandouping, Hubei Province.  The team has rich experience in building bridges.  But he was helpless in the face of the surging floods.

    "Commander Dong, when will this bridge be erected?" Hu Congjun's face tightened, and he could no longer hide the anxiety in his heart.

    Commander Dong quickly ran up to him and explained to his commander: "Military seat, a flash flood broke out upstream, and the water here is very fast"

    "I ask you when the bridge will be erected!" Hu Congjun shouted uncharacteristically.

    Team Leader Dong hesitated for a moment and said: "It will take three days at the earliest!"

    "No!" Hu Congjun ordered: "I want you to build the bridge for me today!"

    Commander Dong was stunned and argued: "Military Commander, how is this possible? I can't do your order!"

    "Bang!" Suddenly, when no one expected it, Hu Congjun slapped Captain Dong on the face, and everyone present couldn't help but stay there!  For a moment, the noisy riverside scene fell silent. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over. Only the river was still flowing.

    Captain Dong covered his face and looked at Hu Congjun blankly. He stayed there, not knowing how to deal with himself.

    Zhang Xian was also stunned. After following Hu Congjun for so long, this was the first time he saw Hu Congjun beating someone. However, it could be seen that Hu Congjun was in such an uncontrollable state of mind at this time.

    "Military, don't blame Commander Dong! He is indeed in trouble!" Zhang Xian spoke first and walked between the two people, breaking the unbearable silence.  In this situation, he was the only one who could stand up, while the other senior staff officers and adjutants hid far behind.

    After this slap, Hu Congjun sobered up a lot. As the leader of an army, in full view of the public, it was really beneath his status to act like this.  At that moment, he took a long breath, sighed, his expression softened, and said to Captain Dong: "I'm sorry, I was too impatient!"

    Captain Dong covered his face and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking at this time.

    "Military seat, please give it some time. We may not be able to stand up today, but I think we should be able to do it tomorrow!" Zhang Xian tried to smooth things over!

    Hu Congjun nodded and said to Commander Dong in a friendly manner: "Okay, you speed up the construction of the bridge and try to build it tomorrow!" In his words, there was no longer an order, but more of a discussion tone.

    Team Leader Dong nodded and responded: "Yes!"

    Hu Congjun felt that it would be boring to stay here any longer, so he turned around and left.

    Looking at Hu Congjun's retreating figure, Zhang Xian explained to Commander Dong: "Old Dong, don't blame the army commander for being angry. He is in a hurry. The rescue calls from Luoyang are coming one after another.  I just received one just now. And telegrams from Nanjing are flying in like snowflakes. Do you think he can be calm?"

    Commander Dong nodded and said to Zhang Xian: "I don't blame the army commander for being angry, but it's just that I can't build this bridge in one day. Look at us soldiers in the engineering corps.  You worked very hard, another soldier was washed away by the water just now, and when he was fished out, he was already dead!"

    Zhang Xian looked at the vast expanse of water in front of him, feeling strangely anxious.

    Captain Dong explained to him: "Although the channel of this river is one kilometer wide, there is not much water in the river in normal times. There is only a stream of water less than ten meters wide in the middle. The rest of the river is a river beach. It is difficult to walk on foot."  You can wade across the water. But now that the flood has come down, you see that the river is full of water. The deepest places can completely submerge people, and even the shallowest places are no higher than the knees. What's more, the river is full of water.  There are no boats, so everyone can only stand in the water and build pontoons. If they are not careful, they will be washed away by the water. Although it is spring, the water is cold, and the soldiers will freeze to death after standing in the water!  "

    Zhang Xian nodded. What Commander Dong said were objective facts, and he immediately asked: "When will the flood recede?"

    "This is a spring flood. Even if the rain stops upstream, it will take two to three days for the water to recede!"

    Zhang Xian thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, old Dong, I will let our 11th BrigadeThe squad leader was angry and set a fire. The wind was very strong that day. Unexpectedly, after the fire started, it immediately spread into one area. Many houses were caught on fire together. After everyone put out the fire, they were already burned down.  A few seats.

    This incident soon alarmed Hu Congjun, and the local people were filled with resentment. Someone had already found Hu Congjun, who was responsible for guarding Luoyang at this time. Naturally, Hu Congjun placed the responsibility of handling this matter on Zhang Xian.

    When Zhang Xian got the news, he was extremely surprised and felt extremely guilty at the same time.  As soon as he returned to the army, he saw the squad leader who was tied up by Chen Daxing and pushed to the brigade headquarters. Before he could recognize it, Xiong Sanwa behind him shouted uncontrollably: "Kangle? How could it be?"  And you?"

    Only then did Zhang Xian see clearly, yes, the squad leader who was pushed over was happy.  This squad leader Kang is also a veteran of the 11th Brigade. He has known Zhang Xian since he returned to the reorganized 11th Division.

    At this time, Kang Le was already bursting into tears. He had stayed in the 11th Reorganized Division for so long, and of course he knew the military laws he was violating. He was afraid and begged: "Brigadier, please spare me.  I won¡¯t dare to do it next time!¡­¡±

    Zhang Xian, however, had a livid face and said bitterly: "I'll spare you? Will you have another chance?" At this time, he had already made up his mind to punish him severely.

    Xiong Sanwa beside him also said kind words: "Brother Xian, Kang Le is also a veteran of our 11th Brigade. This time he was indeed too confused. For the sake of his usual loyalty, spare him."  This time, I think he won¡¯t dare to do it again!¡±

    Zhang Xian glared at him, then turned around and asked Kang Le: "You said there are wounded members of the Communist Army there, have you caught them?"

    Kang Le shook his head, but immediately said with certainty: "Those people are very unruly. They hid the wounded man, but I didn't find it!"

    "So you set the fire?" Zhang Xian asked loudly.  But he knew very well in his heart that even if Kang Le told the truth, without any conclusive evidence, what he did was disturbing the people!

    Kang Le cried again and begged: "Brigadier, I know I was wrong, please spare me"

    "Did you know?" Zhang Xian told him with great regret: "Our army has gone through more than 20 years since its establishment. What makes us different from those warlord troops is that we never disturb the people, burn or kill people.  Robbery is something only bandits do, and it has never happened before in our military history, but you started it! If you don't get a severe punishment as a thank you to the people, I'm afraid someone else will dare to do it again!"

    Kang Le was stunned for a moment. He already knew Zhang Xian's determination. He wanted to say something, but he saw Zhang Xian wave his hand. Chen Daxing understood and pulled him out. He howled, but then suddenly stopped.  He stopped the mournful sound and followed Chen Daxing away.

    Xiong Sanwa¡¯s eyes were red. Facing Zhang Xian, she clenched her fists and said angrily: ¡°Brother Xian, you are so heartless!¡±

    Zhang Xian was startled for a moment, and tears rolled down suddenly, but he murmured to himself: "Really? I may be too heartless, but this is an army, not a copycat! Our national army has lost so many people's hearts.  This has reached our most difficult time, and I know that everyone is actually a little resentful, but if we don¡¯t win the hearts and minds of the people at this time, it will only lead to defeat!¡± As he said that, he sighed again and said:  "Hey! You don't understand this!"

    Xiong Sanwa listened, but seemed to understand. Looking at him silently, she might be able to feel the pain in his heart at this time.

    After a while, Chen Daxing came in from outside and told Zhang Xian that he had already executed Kang Le in front of Tongle Village.

    Zhang Xian nodded, but his heart felt strangely painful.

    "Kangle asked me to beg you before he left, don't tell his family that he was robbed to death, just say that he died on the battlefield!" Chen Daxing finally said to Zhang Xiandian.

    Zhang Xian thought for a moment, nodded, and told Chen Daxing at the same time: "I'll leave this matter to you. You should arrange for Kang Le's funeral according to the standard that Kang Le died on the battlefield. He should be given to his family."  Just give me as much pension as you want!¡±

    "Yes!" Chen Daxing agreed and walked out.

    Xiong Sanwa looked at Zhang Xian blankly and said nothing. Maybe she still regretted it in her heart. She shouldn't say that he was too heartless!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
