Hundreds of officers and soldiers from a certain Red Army battalion have been guarding this place for five days and nights. The officers and soldiers can't remember how many hours they slept in total. It seems that every time they just close their eyes, they are caught by a sudden danger.
I woke up with a start, and then struggled in the mud and water for several hours until the embankment saved me from danger again.
Another huge flood peak has passed, and the extremely tired soldiers are lying down on the embankment with their clothes on, seizing the precious time to take a nap. The sky is densely covered with lead clouds, and the continuous drizzle has no intention of stopping. The soldiers' clothes have already been soaked through.
They didn't care about the rain anymore, and they all slept on the mud floor snoring like thunder.
Battalion Commander Feng Tianlei rolled up his trousers and held his Jiefang shoes in his hand. He stepped through the mud one step at a time and came to a company to inspect the officers and soldiers. Looking at the faces covered with mud and water,
He just felt so distressed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Third company commander Chen Yongchao followed closely behind Feng Tianlei and reported the situation to Feng Tianlei in a stumbling voice: "We have used up all the sandbags used to plug the gap. When the flood peak came just now, there were two landslides here.
, and later the soldiers had to knot their military trousers and use them to fill the gaps with sand. Battalion Commander, before the next flood peak comes, hurry up and replenish us with a batch of bags."
"I also want to add, where can I go to make up for it!" Feng Tianlei said with a dark face, "The sandbags of other companies have also been used up. If it doesn't work, I'm going to ask everyone to take out the quilts for backup. You tell the soldiers to wait until the flood fighting is over.
After that, I will personally report to the logistics and ask them to patch up everyone’s quilts and military uniforms.”
"That's all we can do." Chen Yongchao rolled his eyes, "The quilt is wet anyway, so there's no way to cover it if you leave it on."
"How is the physical condition of the soldiers?" Feng Tianlei asked.
"There are already more than a dozen people with diarrhea. The hygienist prescribed berberine, and that's it. I can't drink clean water, and no one's stomach can bear it." Chen Yongchao muttered.
Feng Tianlei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, sighed, and said: "I have contacted my superiors. The road leading to our village has been washed away by the rain. Trucks transporting supplies cannot get through. I heard that the local government is organizing people to repair it.
Roads, but how can we repair them in this weather?"
"Batalion Commander, how long do we have to stay here?" Chen Yongchao asked timidly.
Feng Tianlei said: "Who knows. When we first received the mission, the meteorological observatory said that the heavy rain in the upper reaches would stop in three days. But then they said that the meteorological conditions had changed and the heavy rain would continue and may intensify. The regiment had already
A notice was forwarded saying that a bigger flood will come tonight."
"Is it bigger than the peak that just passed?" Chen Yongchao asked.
"It should be. Experts say this is the biggest flood peak in this year's flood season." Feng Tianlei said.
Chen Yongchao smiled bitterly and said: "I have heard this at least three times. Every time it is said that it is the biggest flood peak, and then a bigger flood peak comes. When will the flood peak arrive tonight?"
"About eleven o'clock." Feng Tianlei said.
Chen Yongchao scratched his head: "What the hell, what kind of flood peak is there? It doesn't come during the day, but it has to come at night. How can we keep it in the dark? What's more, we are really running out of ammunition and support now."
"We have to defend even if we can't. Our section is the most dangerous in the entire Jingjiang section. Once it breaks out, hundreds of thousands of people in dozens of surrounding towns and villages will be affected. So no matter how difficult it is... we would rather throw all of us in, but we must
Make sure the embankment remains intact." Feng Tianlei said, with a look of determination in his eyes.
"Batalion Commander, look, there's a car coming." Correspondent Li Chunnian stumbled over from behind and shouted to Feng Tianlei in a fuss.
"Car?" Feng Tianlei and Chen Yongchao's eyes lit up. Could it be that they were looking forward to the arrival of the truck transporting supplies?
The two of them ran back a few steps with Li Chunnian, raised their eyes and looked down the embankment, and then sighed in sympathy at the same time: "This car... is of no use."
I saw an off-road vehicle splashed with mud and water parked under the embankment. Feng Tianlei had some knowledge and knew that this was a high-end off-road vehicle made by Japan's Toyota. The price of one vehicle was enough to cover the food expenses of the entire camp for half a year. Since recently,
Several sections of the road from the county town to Xiejiawan have been damaged. Trucks cannot pass. This kind of off-road vehicle can be driven over, but what Feng Tianlei needs is the sacks, drinking water and other supplies delivered by trucks. An off-road vehicle
Cars cannot solve their practical difficulties.
"Isn't it some leader who came to inspect?" Chen Yongchao looked at the off-road vehicle and guessed in a low voice.
Feng Tianlei sneered: "No matter who the leader is, I didn't receive the notice. At this time, how can I have free time to accompany these leaders on sightseeing tours?"
Chen Yongchao said: "They are not here to enjoy the scenery, at least they should be here to express condolences to us, right? By the way, maybe they even brought some condolences."
"That's right." Feng Tianlei nodded, and then told Li Chunnian: "Xiao Li, go down and ask them what they do. If any leader comes to express condolences, you can take them to the instructor. If there are any
As for the condolences, please don’t be polite and ask the instructor to keep them all. It’s best if you have something to eat and can leave it for the sick person.”
"Yes!" Li Chunnian knew that his battalion commander had always been a maverick and did not like to get along with local officials. In the past few days, when fighting floods in Xiejiawan, similar groups of condolences came here several times. These people's
I can't say that my feelings are bad, but on this occasion, all kinds of entertainment are really inappropriate.
While they were talking, the door of the off-road vehicle had been opened. A young driver and a man who looked younger than the driver jumped out of the car. The two of them looked up towards the embankment and saw a man running down the embankment.
Li Chunnian.
"Comrade, where are you from and what are you doing here?" Li Chunnian ran up to the two men and asked in an unkind tone.
"My name is Qin Hai, and I work for the Daqin Industrial Group in Anhe Province." The young man replied, "This is my colleague Xiao Fu. The head of your army asked us to come here to help you."
"Chief of our troops?" Li Chunnian tilted his head and asked, "Is it our regiment headquarters or our division headquarters?"
"I just came from your regiment. Your regiment leader said that Xiejiawan is the most difficult side, so we came to Xiejiawan first." Qin Hai replied with a smile. He was following orders from Ji Mingchu, but
There was no way to explain this to Li Chunnian. If he really said this, he would only be considered a liar by Li Chunnian.
After receiving the order from Ji Mingchu, Qin Hai quickly contacted the group headquarters, and coordinated by the headquarters, hundreds of experienced and healthy cadres and technicians were transferred from subsidiaries, affiliated factories and other places across the country to form a new team.
A special service team went non-stop to the front line of flood fighting. After contacting the flood fighting headquarters in various places, Daqin Group's service personnel were divided into several groups and sent to various key locations to assist frontline soldiers and migrant workers in flood fighting.
Rescue work.
Qin Hai originally did not have to come to the scene in person, but since he took over this task, he naturally would not stay out of it. He led a small team to the Jingjiang River section, and after arranging everyone else out, he and Heizi
, drove an off-road vehicle to Xiejiawan, which has inconvenient transportation. Before arriving at Xiejiawan, he did go to the regiment headquarters and learned about the current situation of Feng Tianlei's battalion, so what he said to Li Chunnian was not considered blind.
ed.
"Come to help, just the two of you?" Li Chunnian looked at Qin Hai from side to side, unable to see anything special about the man in front of him. A whole battalion of more than 400 young men were on the embankment. Qin Hai and
How can these two little guys help?
Qin Hai smiled, pointed at Feng Tianlei and Chen Yongchao on the top of the dam, and asked: "Is that your leader? You'd better take me to see them."
"That's our battalion commander." Li Chunnian said, "Our battalion commander said that if you are here to express condolences, let me take you to see the instructor. The battalion commander and the third company commander still have important work to discuss."
Qin Haidao: "I said, I'm not here to offer condolences, I'm just here to help you plug the gap. You, lead the way."
Qin Hai has been the chairman of the board for so many years, and his words and deeds have inadvertently carried a hint of bossiness. Li Chunnian is just a small correspondent, and he has never seen such an imposing manner. He turned around subconsciously, and as expected, he took Qin Hai with him.
Hai and Heizi walked towards Feng Tianlei and the others.
"What happened to Xiao Li? How did he bring this person up?" Feng Tianlei stood on the top of the dam and saw this scene clearly. He didn't know what drug Qin Hai poured into Li Chunnian to actually make him
Li Chunnian led them up to the dam with a poop.
"Third company commander, you greet them, I'm going to the second company." Feng Tianlei confessed, turned around and walked away.
"Captain Feng, is it not appropriate to turn around and leave like this?" Qin Hai had already walked a few steps away. When he saw that Feng Tianlei wanted to leave, he greeted him with a smile. When he was at the regiment headquarters, he was introduced by the regiment leader.
However, Feng Tianlei is a bit arrogant, but he is indeed a good man who can lead troops and fight tough battles. Now when he saw Feng Tianlei's posture, he knew that this person did not want to see them, but how could he let Feng Tianlei
Just walk away.
Hearing Qin Hai call out his name and position, Feng Tianlei couldn't wipe it off his face. If the other party didn't recognize him, that would be fine. If the other party directly called his name, and if he just walked away, that would be a little weird.
That's polite. Although Feng Tianlei has a strong personality, he is not an unreasonable person.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you." Feng Tianlei casually made an excuse that was obviously unreliable, and then asked: "Excuse me, where are you from and what are you called? Come to the embankment we are guarding.
