In fact, before the evening of the next day, the floods began to pour into central Anhui at noon. Although it was flooding and the water level did not rise very fast, it still caused serious disasters to the people in central Anhui, mainly because there was no early warning.
At this time, the people in Anhui were completely unprepared.
Although the people of the Independent Regiment have tried their best to notify the people in Wanzhong, firstly, the communication methods are backward, and they can basically only rely on walking. Secondly, the Independent Regiment is short of manpower, and the villages notified are very limited. Thirdly, many people do not believe it at all.
So the result can be imagined. There are very few people who are really willing to flee their homes in advance.
As a result, once the flood came, it was too late to escape.
The reason why the water level rises slowly is because it is close to the gap in eastern Henan. The water level rose instantly. Most of the local people were still sleeping, and they were already swimming in the water. The flood reached central Anhui.
, after hundreds of kilometers of leakage, the power has been greatly weakened, but it is still not something that human power can contend with.
The only good thing is that when the floods reached central Anhui, it was during the day, not at night.
Therefore, in Wanzhong, not many people were directly drowned by floods, but not many people were able to escape from the floods. The vast majority of people were trapped by the floods, either on the roofs of their homes, or on the roofs of their homes.
On the hills, and what is terrible is that because the floods are still flowing down and the water level is still rising, these houses and hills may be submerged at any time. By then, what awaits these people will be a disaster.
Fortunately, at this time, the rescue team from the Independent Regiment arrived.
Before the flood came down, the Independence Group collected as many boats as possible and took the time to build a batch of wooden rafts and bamboo rafts. In the past, many local people laughed at the Independence Group for doing these things, but now, the Independence Group
The group's boats, rafts and bamboo rafts were put to great use.
The people's army is the people's army. Whenever a foreign enemy invades, it is always the people's soldiers who hold their chests against the enemy's bayonets and hand their backs to the people. Whenever a natural disaster strikes, they charge on the front line of disaster relief and give up the chance of life to
People, those who leave death to themselves will always be the soldiers of the people.
This tradition has not changed in the past hundred years!
This tradition has existed since the founding of the People's Army, and even fifty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this glorious tradition still exists. During the 1998 flood, those who jumped into the cold river water and used their bodies to build flood-resistant embankments were still the same.
The people's soldiers, the people's soldiers who faced the aftershocks of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and risked being buried alive by mountain collapse are still the people's soldiers, and in the foreseeable future, this glorious tradition will continue to be passed down.
In short, it is not without reason that the common people support and love the People's Army.
Those who advocate the nationalization of the military will never understand that when the military loses the definition of the people and when the military truly becomes a profession, it means abandoning the past tradition and transforming from a soldier who protects the safety of people's lives and property to a soldier.
It became a violent force purely used to protect the ruling class.
(Dividing line)
"Chuchu? Chuchu?"
Gao Chu stood on the bow of a small boat, with an unconcealed look of panic in his remaining right eye. He was repeatedly searching the vast water ahead, shouting loudly while searching.
Gao Chu was dismissed from his post by Xu Rui because he left his post without authorization during the last operation.
Now Gao Chu is just a cook in the regimental cooking class, but this is actually an advantage for Gao Chu, because in addition to the field hospital, all the teams directly under the regiment have to participate in flood fighting and disaster relief, and the area they are responsible for is the same as that of the independent battalion.
Overlapping, Xu Rui's arrangement was also based on the fact that the independent battalion would suffer too many casualties and might be short of manpower.
After receiving the order, Gao Chu immediately found a leaky broken boat. He first asked a few cooks from the cooking class to carry the broken boat back to the regiment headquarters for emergency repairs. It was said to be emergency repairs, but in fact it was just to find a few wooden boards and put a few pieces of wood into it.
Seal the hole, then drip some paraffin around the patch, and that's it.
As soon as the broken ship was repaired, the flood came down immediately.
Gao Chu was worried about Chu Chu's safety, so he quickly got on the boat with a few cooks from the cooking class and rowed hard to Zhuzhuang. The several cooks from the cooking class were already rowing desperately, but Gao Chu still thought they were too slow and kept rowing.
After urging, the cooks couldn't do anything. The squad leader had orders, so they had no choice but to row forward desperately.
By now, several of the cooks were foaming at the mouth.
But Gao Chu kept urging: "Paddle quickly, there is a hill over there, go over there."
Gao Chu was really anxious. After leaving the city, Gao Chu discovered that the entire Wanzhong Plain had become a vast ocean. Looking around, he could only see the yellow water. He couldn't tell which was which because he couldn't find a reference object.
Chu could only draw in a general direction based on his memory, so now, Gao Chu was not sure where they had paddled.
But several of the cooks couldn't row anymore, so they begged for mercy: "Squad leader, I really can't row anymore."
Gao Chu became anxious, grabbed the oar from a cook, and said angrily: "You start driving, I'll do it!"
The man quickly moved out of the way, Gao Chu moved the oar like flying, and the boat shot forward like an arrow.
After a while, the boat had already rowed in front of the small hill. There were more than a dozen fleeing people crowded on it. When they saw the boat approaching, more than a dozen people waved their hands. Gao Chu became more and more energetic and hurriedly rowed the boat to get closer.
He went up and asked the two cooks on the boat to pick up more than a dozen people on the boat.
When the last citizen got on the boat, Gao Chu asked: "Fellow, are you from Zhuzhuang?"
"Comrade, we all belong to Zhuzhuang." The people on the boat responded while thanking him.
Gao Chu was overjoyed and asked anxiously: "Fellow fellows, do you know where Chu Chu has gone?"
The rescued people shook their heads, and finally an old man said uncertainly: "A while ago, I seemed to see Chu Chu's uncle going to the west end of the village, and I don't know if Chu Chu is there."
"Thank you very much, old man." Gao Chu was overjoyed when he heard this and plunged into the water.
Before falling into the water, Gao Chu ordered the two cooks: "Lao Zhang, Lao Wang, you send the villagers back, and then row the boat over to pick me up. Go quickly."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Chu plunged into the water. When he surfaced again, he was already dozens of meters away, and then swam straight to the west of the village.
There is a high ground at the west end of Zhuzhuang.
Gao Chu quickly swam to the high ground, climbed up and saw that there were no less than a hundred people gathered on it. However, he searched and searched among the crowd, but did not see Chu Chu. When he asked someone again, someone pointed at him.
The person on the other side said, "Well, aren't Chu Chu and her sister-in-law right there? Her uncle just wanted to save people, but he fell into the water and disappeared."
Without saying a word, Gao Chu plunged into the water again and swam to the other side.
On the roof of one of the private houses, Gao Chu finally found Chu Chu.
There was also a young woman with Chu Chu. The young woman was holding a child in her arms and holding another in her hand. Before Gao Chu swam over, a family of four were hugging each other and crying.
While Gao Chu struggled to swim forward, he loudly comforted the four Chu Chus.
"Chu Chu, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." Gao Chu shouted loudly.
"Brother Gao, be careful, the water here is deep." Chu Chu reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm good at water." Gao Chu found a bathtub floating on the water while swimming. He took the bathtub as a lifebuoy and pushed the bathtub to the roof of the house where Chu Chu and the others were staying. The bathtub was too small for buoyancy.
If it is not enough, it can only hold one person. If it is a child, it can hold two.
Chu Chu and the young woman put the two children into the bathtub and asked Gao Chu to save the children first.
Gao Chu pushed the child back and said, "Just wait, I'll be back soon."
A few minutes later, Gao Chu successfully sent the two children to the high ground opposite, and then came back to rescue Chu Chu and the others.
Just when he was about to swim next to Chu Chu and the others, a heartbreaking cry for help suddenly came from not far away. Gao Chu turned around and saw an old woman struggling to climb up to the roof, and the house beneath her
It was collapsing little by little, and the old woman was about to be swallowed up by the flood.
Gao Chu fell into a huge struggle.
On one side is his lover, on the other side is the old man.
Gritting his teeth, a look of determination surged through Gao Chu's single eye, and he said to Chu Chu: "Chu Chu, sister-in-law, please wait for me for a while, and I will send the old lady over first."
Gao Chu pushed the bathtub and swam towards the old woman, and finally rescued her before the house collapsed and the old woman was swallowed by the flood. However, when he was pushing the old woman to swim to the high ground, a strong wind suddenly blew through, and a gust of wind blew up on the water.
A hurricane wave rolled up countless floating objects on the water and rushed towards Gaochu, including a giant tree.
By the time Gao Chu discovered this giant tree, it was already so close that he couldn't hide away.
Gao Chu could have used the bathtub to block it, so that he could escape this disaster, but it would be difficult to save the bathtub, and the old lady would definitely fall into the water. In such a hurricane, once the old lady fell into the water, Gao Chu was not sure what to do.
She was rescued. At the critical moment of life and death, Gao Chu suddenly turned around and faced the giant tree with her generous back. However, she protected the bathtub and the old lady in the bathtub in her arms. Then, the ferocious giant tree slammed into her.
Gao Chu back.
The huge impact instantly caused Gao Chu to vomit blood. Before losing consciousness, Gao Chu pushed the bathtub forward with all his strength, and then screamed in a low voice: "Grandma, paddle quickly, paddle, paddle forward..."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Chu rolled his eyes and sank back into the flood.
"My child, my good child." The old lady cried heartbreakingly, "Come back, come back quickly."
Not far away, Chu Chu watched Gao Chu sink into the water, his eyes went black, and he passed out.
