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
