Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

Chapter 88 Soaring Across the Sky

"1, 2, 1... Right face... Alignment..." The neat steps and slogans of the new recruits echoed from the training ground in the distance, and morning exercises began.

"Ring ring..." A flurry of activity ensued.

"What are you doing... I hate it..." Song Xiaoyun muttered in her sleep.

"Damn it, who set this alarm? I'm so dizzy, it's going off so early... Can't people get any sleep?" Shangguan Yun said angrily.

"Didn't you say you wanted a regular, military-style schedule and ask me to set it for you? Get up now... stop lazing in bed..." Song Xiaoyun pushed him out of bed, and Shangguan Yun was speechless.

"Knock knock knock..." came the knocking sound from outside.

"Boss, do you want to do morning exercises? The morning practice is almost over..." Yan Yunzhu shouted from outside with a loudspeaker.

"I'm not going out today. Come wake me up in an hour... Damn..." Shangguan Yun pulled the covers over her head.

"Oh well... never mind you, I need to get up. My older sister invited me to go to Camel Peak today... rustling..."

"What?! They really have a lot of free time. The soldiers outside are so busy, why don't they go and help build a few houses?"

"What do you men need me for? We have our own things to do, hmph..." Song Xiaoyun finished dressing, washed her face, and brushed her teeth.

"Um... Brother Yun... could you think of a way..."

While brushing her teeth, Song Xiaoyun said, "It's too far to Camel Peak from here. It would take us half a day to drive there. Is there any faster way...?"

"Oh... wait a minute, let me think... Hmm, I've got an idea. Go out and call Tang Jian over in a bit, I'll build a bridge for you... come over this afternoon..."

Song Xiaoyun's eyes lit up, and she ran out in a moment. Shangguan Yun got up, dressed, washed up, and was having breakfast when Tang Jian arrived outside the command post.

"Report..." "Oh... Brother Tang, come in quickly... Have you had breakfast yet...?"

"Not yet... I just got back from morning exercises and you called me here..." Tang Jian said coldly.

"Oh, hehe... come on... let's eat together... come on..." Tang Jian didn't stand on ceremony, sat down next to him, ladled out a bowl of porridge, picked up half a pancake and started eating.

Actually, everyone in the village liked eating with the commander, for no other reason than that the commander always had some fresh and delicious food, most of which they had never seen before.

However, since Song Xiaoyun had been here for a long time, everyone felt a little embarrassed. Today, as soon as Tang Jian heard that Shangguan Yun was looking for him, he came over without saying a word, thinking that he could at least get a meal.

Today's breakfast was rice porridge, pancakes with pickled vegetables, and then... fried eggs, Jiujiu duck, preserved olives, canned fish from Japan, Delis ham... Tang Jian had a great appetite and his fighting power was astonishing.

Shangguan Yun was speechless. It seemed he had attracted a glutton. Helplessly, he waited until Tang Jian had almost finished eating before coughing.

"Ahem... Company Commander Tang, did you enjoy the food...?"

"It was pretty good...hehe...uh...sorry, Commander, I forgot...haha...Commander must have something to tell me..." Tang Jian wiped his mouth with a napkin and chuckled awkwardly.

"Of course I have something to do, otherwise, I would have asked you to come over and have breakfast with me..." Shangguan Yun rolled her eyes at him.

"Hehe...you go ahead and say it..." Tang Jian said with a chuckle, scratching his head as he felt obligated to help.

"Well... here's the thing, I've found some work for your newly recruited soldiers. In a bit, go to the cave and get the brothers from the logistics transport company to drive a few truckloads of new equipment. This is top secret. It's strictly forbidden to leak it before it's done, otherwise... smack... Huh? You understand?" Shangguan Yun made a throat-slitting gesture and said sternly.

Tang Jian felt a chill run down his neck. "Understood, please rest assured, Boss, I guarantee to complete the mission..." Tang Jian said, puffing out his chest.

"Okay, let's go in an hour... I'll go check it out..."

Tang Jian fled the command post to arrange manpower. Shangguan Yun came outside, first ran to the cave to put down some things, and then took a few guards and soldiers, strolling all the way to the edge of the cliff valley on the east side.

He had been here once before, and that time he designed a plank road from the top down to the bottom of the valley to trick the ghost.

The valley here runs from north to south, is about 20 miles long, and is about 50 to 60 meters deep. The mountain walls are steep and cannot be climbed by hand. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is undoubtedly a natural fortress.

There is an old road at the foot of the cliff, which is occasionally used by local people, but recently, due to the war, few people walk on it.

The widest part of the valley is about 2 kilometers, while the narrowest part, Eagle Beak Cliff, is only a little over 100 meters wide. It is located in the southern part of the valley, less than 1 kilometer from the southern wall of the village.

According to Shangguan Yun's plan, a cable car station will be built here to connect the east and west sides, which will not only make it convenient for everyone to go there for training, but also bring unexpected benefits in critical times of war.

Without further ado, after Shangguan Yun's on-site observation and measurement, half a day later, a suitable location was finally chosen, but instead of a cable car, a zipline was to be built.

The first steel frame equipment is about 10 meters high. The steel frame is set up at the closest point between the two cliffs, one on each side, and the intersections do not overlap.

然后在两边各挖一个5、6米左右深的坑，这样两侧就能制造出15米左右的落差，如此100多米距离15米的落差足够了。

To stabilize the steel frame, two steel cables are used to connect each side, for a total of four steel cables. A sliding basket is installed on each side, and a braking device is installed on the platform below.

First, put a stone weighing about 200 pounds into it, then turn on the brake. In less than a minute, the basket smoothly glides to the other side. You can also brake midway and then unload the stone. The basket is relatively light, so it is manually controlled. After a minute, it rises to a high point and then glides back.

The next day, "Great... Long live the Commander! The Boss is mighty..."

"A bridge spans the withered pine ravine, turning a natural barrier into a thoroughfare... Haha..." Shangguan Yun laughed loudly...

Everyone was overjoyed and eager to try it out. Shangguan Yun prepared a total of 10 zipline baskets, which are not afraid of collisions in the air and can be linked together to transport large weapons and equipment.

Each gondola can carry 4 people, and the cableway is designed to have a maximum load capacity of 5 tons, which is sufficient.

Shangguan Yun was willing to spend a lot of money, using the best steel and the best cableway. This was a strategic facility, and could not be taken lightly.
