Chapter 218: I'm an ordinary soldier too
PS: The second update is sent!
"People are on the embankment, fighting to the death. ”
Although it is only a simple eight words, it is full of the determination to see death as if it were home, and the spirit of man to conquer the sky and soar into the sky.
That is why the Communists and the people's army are so popular with the people, because in the most dangerous places, in the most critical moments, they will take the lead in rushing to the front and build a steel barrier for the common people behind them.
Gu Xiaolan wiped the droplets on her face, she didn't know if these droplets were the rain on her face, or the tears left by these loveliest people.
She felt that she was so right to insist on coming to Pengcheng this time, and it was precisely because of this that she was fortunate enough to witness such a shocking scene, and they would become a source of inspiration for her to keep moving forward.
Because the torrential rain has been continuing, the sky is dark, and a smell of "black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy the city" spreads on the Yishui embankment.
Before 5 o'clock, it was already dark, and there was still a busy scene on the Yishui embankment -- soldiers and staff members of various organs were reinforcing the second and third embankment lines.
As time passed, Tian Mingli's heart became heavier and heavier, and the first wave of the predicted flood peak was coming, but the second and third lines of defense had not yet been reinforced.
In the tent, Tian Mingli, Division Commander Shen, and Commander Yu were discussing the next countermeasures, and Su Chenyu was also constantly giving advice beside him.
At present, Su Chenyu is definitely the "senior staff" of the entire flood fighting frontline command -- this point is recognized by everyone. Because, Su Chenyu put forward many flood prevention countermeasures, and even experts such as Engineer Li sent by the Water Resources Department were greatly admired.
And Tian Xiaolu was not idle, she was chatting with Gu Xiaolan, a depressed beauty reporter, just now she wanted to interview Tian Mingli - and then she was ruthlessly rejected, and then she didn't.
No, Gu Xiaolan's big reporter is sulking, you must know that with her background, where she doesn't enjoy the treatment of the stars holding the moon. However, today in Pengcheng, he was "slapped in the face" by Secretary Tian three times and twice, and the arrogant reporter Gu Da was not angry.
Although Su Chenyu knew that Yitian Mingli's current status was not afraid of these reporters at all, he still couldn't offend this beautiful reporter who didn't seem to be simple. Therefore, he asked Tian Xiaolu to accompany reporter Gu Da well, and we also pointed to her to promote Secretary Tian's glorious image.
I have to say that Tian Xiaolu's "public relations ability" is still good, and she will soon be commensurate with Gu Xiaolan's sisters. Moreover, Tian Xiaolu's identity as a student of the Film Academy made reporter Gu University very interested.
For a time, the atmosphere in the tents of the entire front-line headquarters was quite harmonious.
"Bell bell bell ......"
A rapid and piercing phone ringing broke the harmonious atmosphere in the tent, and Engineer Li of the Water Resources Department hurriedly picked up the phone next to him.
I saw that Li Gong listened to the phone, his face kept changing, and it became more and more ugly, and then he quickly hung up the phone.
Hanging up the phone, Li Gong said to Tian Mingli with a nervous expression: "Secretary Tian, the first wave of flood peaks is coming, it has already rushed through Mengxian County, and it will soon reach the Yishui Embankment." ”
"Go up the embankment. ”
Tian Mingli didn't bother to take the raincoat, and led Master Shen and Commander Yu to run out of the tent in a hurry.
Immediately afterwards, Su Chenyu, Li Gong and several other staff members also ran out together, and Tian Xiaolu, who also wanted to rush out, was left by Su Chenyu to take care of Gu Xiaolan, a big reporter.
When Tian Mingli came to the embankment, the entire Yishui embankment was still brightly lit, and everyone was seizing this last moment to frantically reinforce the second and third embankment lines on the embankment.
After inspecting the Yishui embankment, Tian Mingli's worries have become even heavier, the water level has now risen, and the big flood peak is also close at hand, but the protective lines of several dangerous embankment sections have not yet been built.
"The water level has now risen, and the first line of defense does not know if it can withstand the first wave of flood peaks, especially the embankment sections of Gate 3 and Gate 5. In the heavy rain, Tian Mingli, who was drenched in rain, said worriedly to Senior Commander Shen and Commander Yu beside him.
Master Shen wiped the rain from his face and said helplessly: "Our manpower is still insufficient? Now that the flood peak is coming soon, we can't complete the reinforcement of the entire embankment before the flood peak arrives." Now, if the XX Army can send reinforcements, we may be able to withstand this wave of floods, otherwise we ......"
Now there are just the three of them here, so Division Commander Shen told the actual situation, Tian Mingli naturally knew that what Division Commander Shen said was practical difficulties, but the Yishui embankment couldn't be broken.
"The forces that the XX Army can send are all on the Huai River, we are counting on them uselessly, we have to rely on ourselves. Tian Ming said fiercely: "Let all the staff of government agencies, enterprises and institutions in Pengcheng and all party members go to the embankment to strengthen the defense line, and the Yishui embankment must be protected no matter what, even if you use your body to resist." ”
Hearing Tian Mingli's cruel words, Division Commander Shen and Commander Yu immediately said: "Our troops will definitely carry it to the death, and they will never go down the embankment." ”
"Pay special attention to the situation at Gate 3 and Gate 5, these two ......"
Before Tian Mingli's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a shouting from the embankment.
"The flood peak is coming, and the No. 3 gate is flooded......"
Hearing this shout, Tian Mingli and the three of them were shocked, they were really afraid of something, and the three of them hurriedly ran to the No. 3 gate not far away.
Ran to Gate 3 and looked at the situation below, Tian Mingli was really startled.
I saw that water was constantly gushing out from several places at Gate 3, and the current was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the entire Gate 3 was breached. Looking at the Yishui outside the gate again, the monstrous waves stretched out their "water tongues" and licked frantically - the Yishui embankment, and some of the higher waves had already "climbed" the first embankment and rushed straight to the second and third embankments.
Seeing that the soldiers were busy carrying sandbags to reinforce the permeable place of Gate 3, but the incoming water did not seem to have decreased much, Tian Mingli shouted and said: "Fully support Gate 3, and we must block the flood water that inflows for me." ”
As soon as Tian Mingli's words fell, a big wave hit Gate No. 3, and suddenly rushed down Tian Mingli and Engineer Li beside him. At this moment, Senior Commander Shen and Commander Yu, who were trying to stand firmly, were frightened, and the secretaries Xiao Wang and Su Chenyu were also frightened, and everyone hurriedly went up to help the two of them up.
"Secretary Tian, you are the commander-in-chief of the Yishui Embankment, this place is too dangerous, you go back to the tent immediately. Commander Yu hurriedly said: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Su, you two pull Secretary Tian back, and Master Shen and I will command here at the scene." ”
Tian Mingli, who stood up, didn't care about the mud on his body, pushed away Xiao Wang, the secretary who came up to help him, and then said: "Xiao Wang, you send Li Gong back, don't worry about me." ”
"Secretary Tian, it's too dangerous here, you have to go back, I will immediately ask the 3rd Regiment of Section 2 to transfer 1 battalion to reinforce Gate 3, and I will definitely block all the permeable places. Master Shen also hurriedly persuaded.
Tian Mingli looked at the few people who still wanted to persuade him, turned around and picked up the sandbags around him, and then said categorically: "In this situation, the soldiers are desperately trying to strengthen the embankment, but you let me go to the tent to take shelter from ......the rain?
