Chapter 145: Crisis

Zhong Yuemin stood on a high place, looking at the construction site with more villagers than the Wujiawan silt dam was built at that time, and his heart was full of pride.

This is a war, and he wants to lead the villagers to cut off the evil dragon in the mountain stream in front of him, so that it can become a tame cow and facilitate the irrigation of crops.

The Chinese people are far more organized than any other country in the world, and as long as they become a team, they will become lions.

After Zhong Yuemin explained the division of labor arrangements to the responsible persons of several villages, the originally chaotic crowd quickly divided into teams at a speed that was visible to the human eye.

Carrying red flags, shovels, and burdens, they lined up neatly to the area they were responsible for.

Each team was divided again, spontaneously divided, and the riverbank soon became a hot construction site.

"Captain, why are these people moving so quickly, just like the army?" He Xiaomin also stood on a high place, looking at the rapidly changing crowd, and felt heartfelt.

"It's really amazing, it only takes twenty minutes from the time we arrange it to the time they start working. Zhong Yuemin looked at his watch and said with heartfelt emotion.

Standing next to him was a tall man in a washed old military uniform with white hair and smiled as he listened to their conversation.

Zhong Yuemin knew that he was the commander of the militia company of the commune, so he asked, "Company Commander Hu, what do you think?"

"It's too slow, like a snail!" said Company Commander Hu very directly.

Hu Xiaomin was a little dissatisfied with the villagers, "Why!?

"Gathering and scattering operations like this, requiring no more than five minutes, they are too far behind. Lian Commander Hu said unceremoniously.

"Why? They are all ordinary people, not your soldiers!" Hu Xiaomin felt that this so-called company commander was too harsh.

"They joined the construction team, they are soldiers!" Company Commander Hu said seriously, "If it weren't for the militia, there were also untrained civilians, at their speed, I would give them a kick!"

Zhong Yuemin: "Company Commander Hu, our militia is very strict in training?"

"Of course, the Red Army was stationed here in the past, and they have a fine tradition, and the militia is trained in the same way as the regular troops. Company Commander Hu said proudly.

"Bragging!" He Xiaomin muttered quietly.

"Hey, why are you bragging?" Company Commander Hu was anxious, his expression was serious, he did not allow anyone to smear the honor of their militia company, "The militia company of the Commune is well-known in the county, and it is the first place in the competition every year. ”

He Xiaomin was a little scared, but still retorted: "Then do you also shoot guns and fire guns like in the army?"

"Of course, when they go to the farm, they often train to shoot targets, and today they are here to work without weapons. Company Commander Hu replied.

He Xiaomin was a child, and he was a little excited when he heard the gun, "Wow! It's amazing, can you show me your gun?"

"That's not okay, we have regulations, and the management of guns and ammunition is very strict, and you can't show it to others casually. Lian Chang Hu said arrogantly.

"Hmph! stingy ghost!" He Xiaomin said angrily.

Lian Chang Hu had a headache and didn't know how to deal with this little girl.

"Ahem!" Zhong Yuemin pretended to cough, "Company Commander Hu, Xiaomin is still a child, don't be like her." ”

Lian Chang Hu was a little embarrassed, why did he get into this set and grind with a little girl for so long?

"Well, let's go see if those boys are lazy. "I had to pretend that I was okay and left.

······

The project was going well in the early stages, and the dam was almost completed, but in the afternoon, the water level suddenly rose and the water became turbulent.

After inquiry, it was found that it was raining heavily.

This was a great surprise to Zhong Yuemin and others, who chose this time for construction because there was no rain during this time, and the water level was also very low.

This rain is a big problem.

Li Jun checked the scene and ran to the tent, "Captain, the mountain on the right bank is too fragile, and the rising river water washes the mountain, which can easily cause landslides. ”

Seeing that Zhong Yuemin had been looking at the topographic map, he added: "And our construction team is on the construction site, it is easy to have accidents!"

Zhong Yuemin left the drawings he had been staring at, walked outside the tent, and looked at the hillside across the river, all weathered rubble, with almost no vegetation.

"Lian Chang Hu, have we had many landslides here in previous years?"

Company Commander Hu said: "Many, the militia company has to participate in the rescue several times a year, especially in the summer when it rains a lot. ”

"Captain, let's let the construction team take down first, the more the project progresses, the higher the water level, and the more dangerous they are. Li Jun said hurriedly.

Company Commander Hu resolutely objected: "No, if we stop this time, all the culverts we worked so hard to build before will be destroyed." ”

"We can rebuild if we destroy it, but we can't just ignore the life and death of the construction team!" Li Jun retorted.

"It's easy to say, our commune has mobilized so many materials and manpower, if we are lost, who are we worthy of?" Hu Lian said, "There is no landslide yet, let's speed up the progress, it should be fine." ”

Zhong Yuemin thought about it for a long time, and felt that what Lian Commander Hu said made sense, if it could not be built this time, the project would be scrapped, and I don't know what time it would be built next time.

He decided to take the risk and continue to build the dam, as long as the culvert was built, the dam body was reinforced, and the rising river water had a place to relieve pressure, and the dam body would not collapse.

The only thing to worry about is the fragile mountain on the other side, which may collapse at some point.

There are many ways to deal with landslides, but in the face of such a severely weathered mountain, without modern large machinery, the danger of any construction is very high.

Zhong Yuemin said loudly: "Company Commander Hu, let the militia company concentrate." ”

"Yes!" Company Commander Hu knew that Zhong Yuemin had an idea, and hurried to gather the militia company.

Zhong Yuemin said: "Li Jun, you are responsible for speeding up the construction of the dam, and at the same time, the idea is to keep draining the water and not let the water level rise too fast." ”

Li Jun hesitated a little, and finally stomped his foot and said, "Yes." ”

"Captain, what am I doing?" He Xiaomin asked as he saw that everyone was busy.

"You go to the commune and call the office for support, we need a geological engineer and a lot of reinforced concrete. ”

······

Zhong Yuemin stood in front of the militia company, "Company Commander Hu told me that it only takes five minutes for you to assemble, but just now it only took you three and a half minutes, and I believe that you are an excellent army." Are you?"

"Yes!" shouted all the soldiers in the company.

"Comrades, look at the opposite hillside. Zhong Yuemin pointed to the hillside behind him, "The hillside is very fragile and may slide at any time, and below is our construction site, but we can't stop construction." ”

Zhong Yuemin paused, "Now we need to build a cement skeleton on the hillside to firmly hold the mountain." The construction is dangerous, I can only ask our best comrades for help, I want to ask, is it you?"

"It's me!" the militiamen's roar was deafening.

Zhong Yuemin bowed to them, "Thank you, I will go up the mountain with you to construct and seal this mountain together." ”
