The next day, Zhuang Mingcheng went to the troupe early in the morning.
Soon, five Liberation trucks, fully loaded with soldiers, drove up to the family compound.
Three of the large trucks were towing three cannons.
At the entrance of the family compound, Lu Fangfang stared in disbelief at the scene. If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they would definitely think it was a war.
Not only were there cannons, but she also saw mortars loaded in trucks.
She now understood what her man meant by "combat power"—this firepower was more than that of an average artillery company.
On the truck, Zhuang Mingcheng waved to his wife, signaling her to get on.
"No, no need."
Lu Fangfang quickly waved her hand.
As a military wife living with combat troops, she has a negative influence on her husband.
Knowing where the hydroelectric power station was in the county, she could simply go there.
After the truck drove away, she plopped down on the donkey cart and gestured for Xiuxiu to hurry up and follow.
"Sister, is brother-in-law leading people to dredge the river?"
Xiuxiu patted the little wild donkey, still somewhat shocked.
The soldiers on the vehicle were all carrying guns and were fully armed, and there were also many mortars; it really looked like they were going to war.
"It's probably just training on the side."
Lu Fangfang guessed what was going on in her mind. She stroked the little flower on the donkey cart and then urged the stubborn little donkey on.
She brought Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox along when she went to see the excitement.
Since they were both part of the group, it was a good opportunity for them to witness the group's firepower together.
Ahead, five Jiefang trucks quickly drove away, leaving them to slowly follow behind.
After passing the fork in the road at the sixth team's location, they reached the main road, and the little wild donkey slowly started to run.
As they approached the county town, Lu Fangfang directed the little wild donkey to turn onto the road to the south. After running for nearly half an hour, she finally caught sight of the large reservoir.
At this time, all the regiment's trucks were parked on the roadside, and the soldiers had already set up their positions in front of the blocked waterway.
On the shore, there were many people not in military uniforms talking to Zhuang Mingcheng; they appeared to be county leaders.
"Sister-in-law, the commander told me to wait for you here. You've finally arrived."
When Hao Dazhuang saw his sister-in-law arrive in a donkey cart, he quickly went to greet her.
"Comrade Dazhuang, when are we going to fire?"
Lu Fangfang carefully got off the donkey cart, not daring to get too close. Rows of mortars were already erected in front of the water's edge.
Three long cannons were already aimed at the area where ice had accumulated in the waterway.
"It'll start soon, sister-in-law, come with me there."
Hao Dazhuang pointed to a hillside that was far from the artillery positions and had a good view of the entire waterway.
Lu Fangfang became interested, and she took Xiuxiu, called out to Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox, and quickly climbed up the small hill.
The little wild donkey glanced at it from the roadside and hurriedly followed.
It moved closer to Lu Fangfang, stretching its donkey head and curiously looking at the artillery position below.
Lu Fangfang glanced at it, then smiled and petted it.
"You stubborn little donkey, it'll be very loud later, so don't make a fuss."
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey snorted and continued to look around curiously.
Along the waterway, Zhuang Mingcheng led several county leaders a short distance back.
Soon, the soldiers had completed the initial artillery bombardment preparations.
"Commander, the First Company is ready."
"Let's begin."
"yes."
The company commander ran to the artillery position and shouted, "All company, listen to my command! Target number one, prepare, fire!"
As soon as the company commander finished speaking, the soldiers threw down the mortar shells they were holding.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"boom!"
...
On a distant hillside, Lu Fangfang covered her own ear with one hand and quickly covered the little wild donkey's long ear with the other.
Seeing this, Xiuxiu quickly hugged Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox.
The two men saw that the front mortars on the artillery positions in front of the waterway were firing shells, which then landed on the blocked parts of the waterway.
The three howitzers roared and slammed into the center of the waterway.
"boom!"
The thick layer of ice shattered instantly, and even the river water beneath it was blasted several meters away by the shells.
"Squeak~"
The blocked waterway finally gave way and was swept away by the current, surging downstream.
"Oh...ah..."
On the hillside, the little wild donkey shivered and quickly nuzzled its head into Lu Fangfang's arms.
Xiao Hua and the little Tibetan fox were also held tightly in Xiu Xiu's arms.
The little Tibetan fox even started whimpering, and Xiuxiu quickly comforted it.
Lu Fangfang also swallowed hard, and was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.
With just one salvo, the blocked waterway was blasted open; the power was truly immense.
With this thing around, let alone Big Bear, even Tiger would only be reduced to ashes.
...
On the position in front of the waterway, several leaders of the county committee also breathed a sigh of relief.
Their reactions were much more composed than Lu Fangfang's.
As for Zhuang Mingcheng, he frowned slightly, looking at the landing point of the shells, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Commander Zhuang, thank you so much. Without your help, I don't know when this waterway would have been cleared."
“Ice has blocked the waterways and is threatening the dikes and the nearby herders. On behalf of all the people in the county, I thank you.”
The county magistrate grasped Zhuang Mingcheng's hand and shook it vigorously.
Previously, this section of the waterway, which was relatively flat, was patrolled by dedicated staff every night.
