Spring is here and the snow on the mountain has melted.

Songhua River, awakening from its winter slumber,

The ice began to crack and collapse on a large scale.

Huge blocks of ice rose and fell and rolled in the river, splashing high water.

The river water gushed out from the cracks in the ice, rushing with a cheerful rhythm. The melted ice water carried the broken ice cubes forward, playing an exciting spring movement.

North bank of Songhua River, Liuhe Town, Mulan County, Hasi Village,

The 140-kilometer-long Muha Railway, which consists of 17 sections, has been under busy construction since the day it started.

Road builders with shovels and wheelbarrows were everywhere.

On the roadbed, a huge steamroller was roaring, like a steel giant firmly fulfilling its mission.

The rollers of the road roller were heavy and powerful, slowly and steadily rolling over the railway embankment. Each time they rolled, the soil and rocks of the embankment were more tightly combined together, making a dull and solid sound.

The sun shines on the metal shell of the roller, reflecting a dazzling light. The operator is concentrating on controlling the machine, his eyes firmly fixed on the working area ahead.

As the rollers continued to move forward, the loose roadbed gradually became smooth and solid, as if given new vitality. The dust raised by the rollers filled the air, forming a hazy dust mist, as if witnessing this great project.

Since the route is located along the river, the soil is moist and loose in many places. This time, according to the roadbed design plan, the cement soil process was also adopted, which is to mix cement and soil in a certain proportion to process the roadbed and improve the stability of the base layer!

An armored vehicle stopped at the construction site.

Accompanied by Construction Bureau Director Wang Shuigen, the first project Yin Xinjun inspected today was the Muha Railway, which is also the project he attaches the most importance to!

As a large number of factories in Mulan Special Economic Zone go into production, the export of materials becomes more and more urgent and important, and railways are the most convenient and fastest choice!

In addition, this year, steel, cement and other building materials can finally be supplied in large quantities, so the Muha Railway, which has been planned for a long time, has finally started!

Wang Shuigen looked at the groups of road construction workers in military uniforms and said with emotion,

"Fortunately, a lot of troops have been transferred here. These soldiers obey orders and are very easy to manage. They work very efficiently!"

Yin Xinjun's heart was filled with gratitude. There were a total of 17 sections along the entire line. Since there were too many projects this year and a shortage of workers, the headquarters transferred two newly formed independent divisions, the 9th and 10th Divisions, with a total of more than 8 cadres and soldiers to participate in the construction. Together with the workers brought by the construction units themselves, there were a total of more than 24 people working hours a day on the entire line!

The construction target is the end of September, half a year must be completed! The train must be able to pass in October! Due to weather reasons, we can only do this half a year! In order to speed up the progress, we can only use the human wave tactic!

Suddenly Yin Xinjun's ears moved, and he heard a familiar loud voice.

"Everyone, work hard and show them our military style and work efficiency! The head of the headquarters said that if we do a good job, the Mulan Military Sub-district will not treat us unfairly. Besides, the head of the sub-district is my good brother, haha!"

Yin Xinjun hurried over.

Sure enough, on a hillside, Kang Huaifu was gesticulating and talking non-stop.

"Lao Kang!"

"Yama!"

They walked towards each other quickly, their steps staggering slightly due to excitement. When they got close, they held their hands tightly together, with such force that it seemed as if they wanted to hold all the years of longing in their palms.

"Lao Kang, it's really you!" His words trembled and his voice became hoarse with excitement.

Then, they hugged each other tightly, tears welling up in their eyes, but they tried hard not to let them fall. The hustle and bustle around them seemed to have disappeared, and only their heartbeats and breathing were clearly audible.

It has been seven years since they last saw each other. At this moment, it seemed as if the seven years had never passed. They returned to the days when they had fought side by side. The deep comradeship burned brightly again at the moment of reunion.

"Lao Kang, why don't you come to my place when you come to Mulan!" Yin Xinjun said with some complaint!

Kang Huaifu burst into laughter.

"Brother, I just arrived yesterday and I was bombarded with tasks. I was so busy that I could hardly breathe. I was thinking of coming back to see you in a few days!"

Yin Xinjun said apologetically,

"Just like you, I've been at the aviation school every day these days and have been too busy to go home. I'll treat you tomorrow night, and we must have a good drink!"

The two chatted for a while. It turned out that after Kang Huaifu and his men returned to the Northeast with the Soviet Far East Army, they had been developing local armed forces in the Nenjiang area of ​​North Manchuria. This time, the headquarters reorganized the troops in Nenjiang and Qiqihar into the 10th Independent Division. Many of them came from the Anti-Japanese United Army. Kang Huaifu is now the head of the 10th Regiment of the 27th Division, and Peng Yuan has also come. He is the political commissar of the 27th Regiment.

A familiar figure appeared behind Kang Huaifu and greeted Yin Xinjun.

"Hello, Commander Yin!"

Kang Huaifu introduced,

"San'er is our regiment's deputy commander and chief of staff!"

Yin Xinjun was very happy that all his old friends were still alive.

"It's great that everyone is safe!"

San'er also said excitedly,

"The commander of the headquarters asked our division to come to Mulan Special Zone to help. When we heard that you were here, we were so happy!"

Kang Huaifu said,

"You are an old friend of the Anti-Japanese United Army. Our regiment is penniless now. We will help you repair the railway. You can give us some of the remaining equipment as a reward!" Kang Huaifu still looked greedy as always!

"Leave it to me. Our Mulan Arsenal can now produce many kinds of weapons. I'll ask them to keep some good stuff for you later!"

At present, the Mulan Arsenal has too many production lines and cannot train skilled workers in time. The production capacity cannot keep up. Even Yin Xinjun often comes to work overtime to provide guidance!

However, the difficulties are definitely temporary. It will take another six months for the railway to be completed. By then, the arsenal's half-month production capacity will be enough to equip a regiment!

In the afternoon, Yin Xinjun ran along the railway line to Harbin. All 17 sections of the line have been started, and more than half of the railway construction areas are not within the Mulan Special District, but in Harbin, Bayan and other places!

However, since the entire railway line was invested, built and constructed by the Mulan Special Zone, the construction headquarters was still located in the Mulan Special Zone. Yin Xinjun personally served as the commander-in-chief, and Wang Shuigen, director of the Construction Bureau, served as the executive deputy commander-in-chief!

After visiting the entire railway line, it was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. On the way, we brought canned biscuits and other things for meals. On the way back, it was even more lively!

The Muha Railway and the adjacent Muha Highway reconstruction and expansion project are being constructed in parallel. Both construction sites are working late into the night, like two beautiful dragons running parallel to the north bank of the Songhua River!
