Road construction is a complex project.

Geological survey is the first step to determine the direction of the road and carry out overall planning. Generally speaking, this must be carried out one or two years in advance. The construction will not start until there are design drawings and scheme demonstration, and it is determined that there is no problem.

Now, this first step has been omitted. It's very simple because it's too late.

Germany's powerful motorcade is eager for roads. They can't wait. At the same time, in order to stimulate poles and Belarusians and crack down on those guerrillas, the road construction is too hasty this time.

However, although there was no detailed planning, they did not build indiscriminately, because there was already a cement road here, which was expanded according to this cement road.

The so-called cement road, of course, is not a hardened pavement made of cement. There is no such road in Belarus. It is a road mixed with water and mud, which is quite difficult to walk.

Now, expand on the basis of this original road!

The first step is naturally to pad the subgrade. After all, high-grade highways need a solid subgrade.

"Cheer up!" In the forest, old Paul stood on a big stone and shouted to the people working: "only our efforts today will bring us a better life tomorrow!"

No matter what they used to do, they are workers, ordinary citizens and businessmen. Now they have all become the main personnel of road construction, and their tools are very simple.

Most people's tools are carrying poles. Yes, there are woods everywhere. As long as you get a suitable wooden stick and put a rope on both sides, it is a carrying pole. At both ends of the carrying pole, you carry a basket made of branches. In the basket, there are stones.

The stones were mined from a nearby hill, with a distance of more than ten kilometers. Now, almost all the distance from the hill to building the road are poles. They pick the stones from the mountain like ants.

This is a manual job. Many people's shoulders are worn and swollen, and blood bubbles grow under their feet. For them, this is simply a purgatory torture.

However, they have no complaints. Their homes are gone. They must adapt to the new life. If they can't build this road quickly, there is more work waiting for them. They must rebuild a city. It can be said that they will repeat today's work in two or three years.

They have to adapt.

Most Poles work as porters, and some poles are divided into two teams. One team goes to the mountains to mine ore. they are closely monitored by the Germans because they want to use explosives to blow up stones, while the other is logging in the woods.

The original road is only three meters wide, not even enough to accommodate two cars. The new road is a two-way four lane design standard, and the land-based width must be 26 meters!

The original road must be widened, so they have to cut down the trees on both sides of the road. After cutting down the trees, they just use them as tools or build simple houses for them to live.

These days, they almost rest in the open air. Fortunately, the weather is good. If it rains, they will be very embarrassed, so they must be able to cover a place to provide rain protection.

"This is really unfair. We have to cut wood and build houses. Those Belarusians only need to build roads. How can we win them!" Pulling a hand saw, a Belarusian complained.

There is no chainsaw at all. They have no mechanized tools at all. They can only pull a long saw blade with two hands to cut the big tree. This is a very slow work.

"This is God's test for us. We must accept it. Simon, be patient. We have to be patient first before we can wait for our chance." Opposite the saw was Alex. His arms were powerful. He whispered as he pulled the saw blade.

The sawdust kept flying. Finally, their saw cut the last point.

The trunk began to tilt, and Alex just looked up and didn't move.

The tree has a soul. Sawing off the tree is equivalent to ending its life. Therefore, before dying, it will even take one or two lives, which is smashing the dead.

For experienced loggers, it is easy to judge the direction of the tree. Don't turn around and run. If you can't win, you must first look at the direction of the tree falling and run towards the side of the tree falling, so you can easily run away.

For those who saw trees, if they can see the direction of the tree, don't move.

"Boom!" The tree fell down and made a crash with the ground, just like a groan before death. Alex's face showed a relaxed expression: "even if we fail, we are building our own house now. At least we won't get wet?"

Then he picked up a small hand saw. When the big tree was sawed down, he needed to cut off the branches, leaving only the trunk, and then break the trunk into boards, which could be used as materials for building a house.

The big tree here is very strong. Two people can't hug each other. This tree can build a house.

Humming a minor, Alex looked very relaxed.

"Bang, bang!" At this time, suddenly, two clear gunshots came from a distance. As long as you listen to the gunshot, experienced people can know what is shooting.

Mosinagan rifle! Alex as like as two peas in his eyebrows, he is sure to come to his own trouble after he starts building the road.

Most poles are ordinary people. When they hear the gunshot, they immediately panic!

Pick up the pole, throw away the pole, and the bottom of the urine wants to hide, and are digging the roadbed, throwing away the shovel in the hand, the pickaxe, still making lunch, and even directly put the big pot on one side to his head.

Silence returned to the woods after the gunshot.

No guerrillas appeared, but the two shots delayed the poles for half an hour!

"These guerrillas can really help their own people!" Alex said, "I guess they'll do it again in the north in half an hour."

It was just in the south, and then from the north. If you harass it once in half an hour, your side simply won't build the road.

A few bullets can disrupt your road construction deployment!

"Simon, dare you fight these guerrillas with me?" Alex asked his companion.

"Dare, what dare you!" Simon said, "it's just that there are no weapons in hand. Last time we asked the Germans for rifles and set up a convoy, and the Germans didn't agree."

"Weapons? The handsaw in our hands is a weapon. Let's go! "
