At eight in the morning, the torrential rain that had lasted nearly the whole night finally stopped.
001 was anchored a kilometer downstream from a Yangtze River sluice gate that had long been blocked. Yao Lirong, supporting Master Xi, disembarked onto the temporary plank set up by Captain Fan and Zhu Baogen.
On the river embankment was a sub-dam made of sandbags, with its inner side extremely muddy.
As Master Xi and Yao Lirong stood firm, Master Xu, Liu Wei, and Xiao Chen followed suit.
From the moment they received orders from "headquarters" last night, the Binjiang Police boat 001 had hoisted the "Linghai Reserve Camp" and "Heroic Assault Battalion" flags!
Yao Lirong, Captain Fan, Liu Wei, Xiao Chen, and the village group leader Old Wang also donned the camouflage uniforms sent by the regiment a few days ago, wore reserve ranks, put on the homemade camouflage helmets, fastened the gear belts, and slung green military canteens.
