A jeep came speeding up, and the battalion chief of staff jumped out of the car and shouted: "Three companies assemble, three companies assemble!"

After Ji Chen and the others were assembled, the chief of staff said with a solemn expression: "Comrades, the dam of the steep river reservoir has subsided, coupled with the heavy rain falling from the sky, and now the dam is in danger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoOnce the embankment bursts, Tangshan will be worse than the disaster! The higher authorities ordered us to open the floodgates within five hours, and now set off with me!"

At the same time, Zhang Jingchu's car drove to the border of Sanhe, and the roadside was littered with collapsed houses, the bodies of the victims, and from time to time trucks carrying the wounded speeding towards Beiping.

After the bus arrived at the station, Zhang Jingchu learned that the tickets for the past had been discontinued, so she took Song Zuer along the road.

After walking for a while, Zhang Jing first saw a group of military vehicles parked on the side of the road, so she said to the soldiers who were driving: "Comrade, are you going to Tangshan? She showed her identity as a military family, her husband is a soldier who has been transferred from the 38th Army, and her brother-in-law is also a soldier now. The fighters in the car were very embarrassed: "I'm sorry, we have a mission, we can't take people." ”

Zhang Jingchu could only pull Song Zhuer to continue walking, walked to the side of the bridge, and saw a Yellow River truck of Tangsteel. She knocked on the car door and found that the driver was her husband's comrade-in-arms Hu Jun, so she told the truth. Hu Jun hurriedly beckoned the mother and daughter into the cab, and took out a flower roll to fill their hunger.

The camera pulls out to the air, all green liberation trucks, the convoy is not in sight, and from time to time there are jeep command vehicles with antennas plugging in to overtake, the scene is very spectacular. At the end of the road, the bridge had collapsed, and the boat-bridge troops were erecting a temporary bridge.

In Tangshan City, a dilapidated jeep drove slowly, and a girl held a microphone rolled in cardboard and shouted: "The Communist Party members of the whole city should charge ahead and actively play the exemplary and leading role of Party members......

Wang Luodan, Cao Bingkun and other survivors were digging hard on the ruins, digging and digging to appear a picture frame, in which a family of five took a group photo, the parents were gentle and kind, the sister was beautiful, and the younger brother and sister were chubby, which was particularly cute.

In this family, only the father escaped by taking a cool seat downstairs, and the other four were all buried in the building. The father who survived the disaster wiped the dust on the photo with his hand and said calmly: "Let's save the living first!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Plane!"

Wang Luodan raised his head, and there were two silver-gray planes hovering in the sky.

Parachutes and leaflets were dropped, and leaflets flew like snowflakes.

Cao Bingkun picked up the leaflet and looked at it, and said to Wang Luodan: "It said that the central government has sent the People's Liberation Army and medical teams to Tangshan. ”

Wang Luodan sighed faintly and said, "Second brother is definitely coming back, I don't know where he is now!"

At this time, Ji Chen had already rushed to the Steep River Reservoir. The huge cracks are shocking, coupled with the torrential rain, the pressure of the dam has increased dramatically, and the whole Tangshan is facing a catastrophe!

The only way to defuse the crisis was to open the sluice gates and release water, but the generators were smashed and there was no electricity to activate the sluice gates, which weighed more than 40 tons.

The only way to do this was to use a winch pushed by a human to lift the gate up.

The winch house is above the spillway, and below is a huge gate. At this time, the winch room has been cracked, standing outside, you can see the people inside, and the whole house may fall at any time. If the winch house collapses, the people in the house will not only be stoned to death, but also plunged into an abyss of tens of meters.

The audience in front of the screen knows that after the earthquake, the steep river reservoir did not collapse, but at this time, looking at the huge opening on the dam and the winch house that may collapse at any time, they still feel worried, hold their breath, and don't even dare to take a breath.

The soldiers know the danger, but no one hesitates, there is only one belief, they can't let Tangshan become more and more disaster!

The chief of staff made a simple arrangement, four people in a group of ten minutes, changing shifts as fast as possible, and then took three soldiers to rush into the winch room first, and shook the winch with the strength of his arm to activate the gate weighing more than 40 tons.

This is an extremely difficult task, four lads shake a hundred times, and the gate is raised by less than a centimeter!

When it was almost six o'clock, Cao Bingkun said to Wang Luodan, "I've been hungry for a day, let's go back and get some food first, and then come back." Wang Luodan shook his head, I'm not hungry. Cao Bingkun said, it doesn't matter if we are adults, but Xiaodeng is still young, and she has been hungry for a day. Wang Luodan looked at the small lamp and nodded.

When the two returned to their neighborhood with a small lamp, the building was still intact, and many people in the building had already moved out their belongings, even sewing machines, pots and pans, and some had already started to cook dinner. Cao Bingkun asked Wang Luodan and the others to wait outside, and then walked into the building, preparing to move the pots and pans out.

The camera switched to Zhang Jingchu's side, the big truck was driving towards a dangerous bridge after the earthquake, and four young soldiers, holding small red flags in their hands, stood on the bridge to direct the vehicles to move forward. Hu Jun drove the car onto the dangerous bridge where life and death were uncertain, and drove cautiously. Zhang Jingchu stretched out the window of the car and looked at it, only to feel dizzy, and could see obvious holes and cracks, and the bridge could collapse at any time.

At this moment, the devastating aftershock on the afternoon of the 28th came!

The aftershock magnitude 7.1 occurred in the afternoon, and the picture was very clear. The audience in front of the screen clearly saw the whole city undulating on the ground, like a shaking stall, and the roads turned into ribbons, dancing with the ground. In the city, the buildings that had not completely collapsed quickly collapsed in violent shaking and collapsed to the ground.

In the violent shaking, the bridge began to break, and the soldiers in command were thrown into the river, and the cars on the bridge fell into the river. Hu Jun stepped on the accelerator frantically, and the big truck roared forward like an angry bull, and finally rushed to the other side of the river before the bridge broke completely.

The dam of the steep river rumbled, the winch house shook violently, and the cement slab on the roof fell and smashed on the bodies of several soldiers. Ji Chen lay on the dam, with a burst of despair in his heart, thinking that this is over, Tangshan is over!

At this moment, the leaders of the General Administration and Han Shanping, who were sitting in the front row watching the movie, were all pale with fright, they had been completely brought into the plot, forgetting that in reality the dam had not collapsed, the heartstrings were completely tense, and even their breathing was stagnant.

On the screen, Wang Luodan shouted like crazy: "Xiao Cao, come out, come out!"

Cao Bingkun appeared on the window on the second floor in a panic and jumped down. Just as he jumped, the building collapsed and a prefabricated slab slammed into his back. Cao Bingkun floated down like a fallen leaf in the wind and fell heavily to the ground.

Wang Luodan screamed and pounced, hugged Cao Bingkun and shouted, "Xiao Cao!

Cao Bingkun looked up with difficulty, smiled hard at Wang Luodan, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Wang Luodan hugged him, holding him deadly, motionless.

On the steep river dam, Ji Chen raised his head and let out a heavy sigh, the dam is here, although the winch house has partially collapsed, it has not completely collapsed. Four people in the winch room, three fighters died, only the company commander survived, but also seriously wounded.

Ji Chen and the others rushed into the winch room, trying to replace the injured company commander, but the company commander shook off his arm, shouted "leave me alone", and shook the winch like crazy.

Hu Jun, who escaped the catastrophe, drove slowly forward in a big truck, and refugees along the way poured over like ants. They wore all kinds of clothes, some of them were brand new, some of them were extremely ill-fitting, and some of them even wore women's clothes. Along the way, the voices of calling children and daughters came and went, living like a miserable picture of exile.

On the side of the road, a middle-aged man carried a corpse wrapped in a blanket on his back and walked with difficulty in the direction of Tangshan. The corpse was taller than the middle-aged man, lying on his back, his feet rubbing against the ground from time to time. The middle-aged man walked very slowly, and every few steps, he had to stop and lift the body up.

Zhang Jingchu couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, who are you carrying, where are you going?"

The middle-aged man replied, "It's my son, I'm going to take him home!"

Zhang Jingchu was stunned and asked, "Where is your home?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Tangshan!"

Zhang Jingchu said sadly: "There are still hundreds of miles from here to Tangshan, when are you going to go with your son on your back!"

"I can't leave my son in the rubble!" the middle-aged man, who did not look amazing, exuded a calm and calm power, "I want to take him home, no matter how far away it is, no matter how difficult it is, I will take him home." One more step and he's one step closer to home. ”

The middle-aged man said very calmly and very simply, but such a simple sentence hit the hearts of more than 10,000 spectators at the scene, and the whole scene suddenly resounded with sobs one after another.

In addition to Zhang Jingchu's mother and daughter, Hu Jun's truck also took a lot of people along the way, all of whom wanted to go home. Home is the safest and warmest place in people's hearts, no matter how far away it is, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go home!

Zhang Jingchu turned her head to look at Hu Jun and begged, "Help them!"

Hu Jun shouted at the middle-aged man: "We will also go back to Tangshan, just by the way, I will take you home!"

There were all kinds of people sitting in the carriage, workers, peasants, intellectuals, and no one was disgusted that there was an extra corpse on the car. At this time, everyone has only one identity, people who want to go home, and they pull the middle-aged man into the car with all their hands.

The car started, carrying a group of people who wanted to go home, and slowly drove towards Tangshan!

Ji Chen shook the winch desperately, they had been shaking for nearly seven hours, they were already exhausted, and they were all supported by willpower.

Suddenly, the winch stopped moving, and the fighters froze.

At this moment, the workers of the Steep River Reservoir came running over and shouted, "The gate has been raised, you can let go." ”

Ji Chen and the two soldiers collapsed under the winch at the same time, gasping for breath, while the company commander smiled, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person fell.

As it got dark, the people who survived the catastrophe set up a big hut with their hands and feet, and carried the sick and wounded inside, while the women sat on one side, while the men prepared to squat under the trees for the night. Someone found rice and a pot from the ruins and boiled the porridge. Wang Luodan filled a bowl, let Xiao Deng drink it first, and then filled another bowl for himself. It's just that she didn't take two sips and fished out a hair from the bowl, and she remembered the corpse that had been dug up during the day, and immediately vomited. However, she also knew that in this case, she had to maintain her strength, and when the porridge was colder, she drank a bowl with her eyes closed.

After a day of disaster relief, the troops returned to the station, Ji Chen and they were all unkempt, and many people couldn't get up from lying on the ground. This whole day, I carried too many corpses and couldn't eat. In the end, the chief of staff yelled at them: "Comrades, we all have to eat, if we don't eat, where is the physical strength, we still have to save people!"

The fighters were so tired that they drank the porridge and fell asleep on the ground. Ji Chen endured his exhaustion and took a leave of absence and walked to his house. The troop station was very close to his home, and it was only then that he had time to go back and have a look.

Under the guidance of acquaintances, Ji Chen found his sister Wang Luodan in the earthquake shed. Wang Luodan, who had been holding back his grief, finally relaxed after seeing his relatives, shouted "second brother", hugged Ji Chen and cried.

Wang Luodan on the screen was crying, the audience in front of the screen was also crying, the leaders of the province and the city were all in tears, and more than 10,000 spectators behind them were already in tears at this time, and the huge cry echoed in the sky above the stadium for a long time.
