Racing Against Time! Watch the Bridge Troops Cross the Dangerous Yellow River
Open roads in the mountains
Build bridges when encountering water
In recent days
The 76th Group Army's certain brigade
Has been closely monitoring the nature of the Yellow River water area
Focusing on
Special situation handling, floating bridge construction
Vehicle transport capacity, etc.
Conducting specialized training on practical combat subjects
To lay a foundation for enhancing the troops'
Emergency response and multi-point support capabilities
After receiving the order
The ferry bridge team quickly completed deployment preparations
Over a hundred vehicles and equipment
Rapidly maneuvered and assembled in the task area
Upon arriving at the combat area
Drones took off to survey the battlefield environment
Officers and soldiers simultaneously conducted river nature assessments
Collected and reported water condition data


With a command from the commander
The ferry vehicles quickly moved out
Accurately entering the designated position
Various types of equipment and materials
Simultaneously carried out water crossing operations at multiple points
With close cooperation between drivers and operators
The 20-ton gate bridge was successively launched into the water
Motorboats quickly positioned
Pushing the gate bridge sequentially into the designated water area
Watercrafts were running at full power
Soldiers on the bridge closely coordinated
Just as the gate bridge was about to
Completely enter the designated water area,
The control group suddenly issued a special situation
“Motorboat for Gate 9 has lost power
And cannot reach the designated position”

A sudden special situation arose
The commander immediately assessed the situation
And organized the replacement operation for the gate bridge at the first opportunity
Minutes later,
With the full-speed push of the backup boat,
The gate bridge was accurately positioned and replaced
A floating bridge spanning both banks of the Yellow River was completed
Personnel and vehicles began to cross the river in an orderly manner



In this exercise,
The unit seized the current flood season of the Yellow River
With turbulent water flow and complex water conditions,
Training during this window period
Insisted on conducting training rigorously and challenging
Tested the officers and soldiers'
Ability to handle sudden situations
Enhanced the ferry bridge team's
Equipment support capabilities for river crossing operations
