Liang Jian: I have a canteen

The river is so fast that only people in the river can realize how powerful the river is.

The fighters in the south who can swim are okay. They know how to exert force and can consume as little energy as possible. However, many fighters in the north can’t swim. Before crossing the river, they only received simple simulation training, and they didn’t feel anything during the training. , but in the river, there is only one rope to exert force on, and the ground is empty and bottomless.

It was a horrible feeling, especially in the dark.

After the heavy rain, the dark clouds cleared and the moon poked out, bringing a little light to the big river.

Seeing light in the darkness added comfort and courage to the soldiers crossing the river.

A lot of time was delayed because of the heavy rain just now, so the company commanders of each company began to urge their soldiers to hurry up.

The fifth company is the sharp knife company of the third regiment. It has more guns and ammunition than other companies, so they were assigned to a ferry after the heavy rain, which was specially used to transport weapons and ammunition.

After getting the boat, the company commander Luo Jiayu immediately ordered the soldiers to load all the remaining ammunition on the boat.

After counting the remaining number of people who hadn't crossed the river, he loaded a dozen or so young and non-water fighters into the boat, while he himself supported the side of the boat and went into the water with the rest of the fighters.

Perhaps because of impatience, Wulian had too many people crossing the river this time, and the equipment on the ferry made the rope far exceed the limit.

Under the moonlight, Wulian, the rope responsible for Wulian's lifeline, has been crumbling tightly, and many places have begun to show signs of cracking, but no soldier has discovered this problem.

The river water seemed to rise again, and the undercurrent under the water became much more turbulent. At this moment, the soldiers felt that their hands seemed to be unable to grasp the rope in their hands.

The inability to catch does not mean that the soldiers are weak, because in the turbulent river, the whole body has to face the water flow, even if it is only for a few minutes, it requires considerable physical strength, and the river is cold, and some extra heat is required to maintain body temperature.

Luo Jiayu's water skills are average. Facing the turbulent river, he didn't try to be brave. He just held on to the side of the boat and slowly moved to the position where the rope was tied to the bow.

As a company commander, he didn't want to stay at the back of the team and wait around. He wanted to go to the bow of the ship to prepare for emergencies.But before he moved to the bow, he felt that the ferry boat he was holding in his hand had shifted, and immediately began to spin.

not good!

This is the ferry going out of control!
Could it be that the rope pulling the boat broke?

When Luo Jiayu thought of this, his heart sank instantly.

The current location happens to be in the center of the river, where the water flow is the most turbulent, and their fifth company ranks fourth in the order from upstream to downstream, which means that the breaking of the rope will not only affect them, but may also affect the people in the downstream. The other two companies crossing the river.

As an authentic northerner, he doesn't know how to steer a boat. Now he can only watch the ferry spin and drift downstream.

"Everyone in the water hold tight to the rope, and don't let go! Those on the boat don't move! Those who steer the wheel stay steady, and don't let the boat spin any more." In desperation, Luo Jiayu could only rely on It feels like an order is being given.

At this time, the rain had stopped, and his voice was so loud that the surrounding soldiers could hear it clearly.

But even so, many fighters were washed away by the current because they didn't hold on to the rope, and disappeared into the dark river in the blink of an eye.

"Company Commander, the rudder can't be moved! It seems to be stuck by something!" A soldier's voice came from the ferry that was drifting downstream in the distance.Unfortunately, this sound is not loud, because the boat has drifted far away at this moment.

"Inspect in the water! Hurry up, hurry up and solve it, and absolutely don't affect the downstream comrades!"

Luo Jiayu yelled while stepping on the water, but just after he finished yelling, he felt that there seemed to be a strange force in the water pulling him away, no matter how his legs swung, he couldn't resist this underwater force. that power.

The force under the water was getting stronger and stronger, and at the same time, he also felt that the resistance to swinging his legs was also increasing.

He continued to step on the water hard, while staring at the surroundings, wanting to see how the other fighters were doing. As a result, there were many fighters around, but now he couldn't see any of them.

It happened too fast, from the time the rope pulling the boat broke to now it was only one or two minutes. In this short period of time, Luo Jiayu had been displaced from his original position by the river.

Seeing that there was no one around, Luo Jiayu was a little flustered, his feet relaxed, and he sank,
But after three or four seconds, he floated up again, coughed twice, spit out a mouthful of water, looked around again, and found that he had changed his position again.

"anyone there?"

Luo Jiayu yelled, but this time he didn't dare to yell loudly, because they crossed the river in secret and must not be exposed.

No one answered, only the sound of rushing water could be heard on the wide river.

Called twice again, still no one answered.

At this moment, Luo Jiayu felt that he was the only one floating in the river alone in the huge world.

A faint fear hit my heart.

Wipe the water off his face with his hands, then shake his head, dispel the messy thoughts in his heart, and start thinking about what to do next.

First, go ashore.

Regardless of whether it is the south bank or the north bank, you must first land to solve the problem.

After the rainstorm, although the dark clouds cleared and the moonlight first appeared, the sky at this moment was still covered by a layer of clouds and mist. It was impossible for Luo Jiayu to identify the direction through the stars, but he also had his own method, which was to swim along the water. It's the North Shore, and the right is the South Shore.

Their fifth company started from the south bank and aimed at the north bank.

When he boarded the boat, all the people on the south bank had already started to cross the river, except for the two soldiers on guard. So he decided to swim to the north bank. If it went well, he thought he could reach the north bank in a few minutes.

There are many comrades on the north bank, and the troops should be found soon.

As for the comrades who were washed away by the current because the rope broke, Luo Jiayu could only pray for them in his heart, praying that they could persist until they landed.

After having an idea, Luo Jiayu used all his strength and began to swim vigorously along the water to the left.

Luo Jiayu's water quality is average, and his swimming skills are average. He can swim in the calm small lake, but facing the current turbulent Futuo River, he seems powerless.

The darkness blurs the sense of time.

Luo Jiayu just swam by feeling, swam for an unknown how long, when he suddenly felt a strong suction force coming from under him, and then his body fell into the bottom of the river involuntarily (end of this chapter)
