"The largest third wave of the flood peak, his power will be a geometric multiple of the first two wave of the flood peak. β
Engineer Li's words knocked Commander Yu and Commander Shen, who were still full of confidence, back to their original shapes, and their faces suddenly became heavy.
"There are many upstream tributaries of Yishui, all of which have huge flows, and there are not many lakes as buffers, plus the rainfall in the upper reaches has continued to increase during this time. Therefore, once all the major upstream tributaries converge on the main stream of Yishui at the peak of the flow, then the strongest flood peak of this wave will complete a qualitative change - the power and destructive power will soar exponentially. β
Although Engineer Li's words were very shocking, they also made it clear to everyone what to understand next--it was more dangerous than before.
"Everyone has heard it, this last 'battle' can be said to be extremely dangerous, but it is still the same sentence - fight to the death and never retreat. After letting everyone realize the severity of the situation, Tian Mingli changed his words and threw out a "confidence bomb": "Just now, I received a call from Commander Chen of the XX Group Army of the garrison, and he said that two main regiments had been dispatched to reinforce us in advance. Moreover, the follow-up reinforcements are also slowly being drawn to Pengcheng. β
"Really?
"When will it arrive?"
"Then we can definitely defend the Yishui embankment this time. β
β¦β¦
Seeing everyone's emotions rising again, Tian Mingli knew that his "heart booster" had worked, so he said: "However, because the reinforcements are drawn from the Huai River embankment, it may take a little time, and it will arrive at the Yishui embankment at noon tomorrow at the earliest." β
"Li Gong, when will the third wave of the flood peak arrive?" Commander Yu hurriedly asked Li Gong.
Engineer Li is a standard scholar, and after silently calculating, he said: "We will arrive at the Pengcheng Yishui Embankment in about tonight or tomorrow morning." β
"Does that mean that as long as we hold on for another half a day, then we can wait for reinforcements?" Commander Shen listened to Li Gong's words and said fiercely: "Half a day should be no problem. β
"So, we have to hold on for at least half a day, at most a day, no matter what, and we can wait for reinforcements. β
Tian Mingli took the words of Division Commander Shen and issued a military order: "This time, Tian Mingli, please, I also ask you to hold on to the Yishui embankment for at least half a day, and never let the flood enter Pengcheng for half a step." β
"Yes, guaranteed to get the job done. β
All the people in the tent stood up and replied loudly, that although the greatest test was coming, the hope of victory was at handβthat if we survived the pre-dawn darkness, we would see the beautiful dawn.
The water is relatively stable now, so the soldiers on the embankment hurriedly take turns to replenish their strength, in order to maintain the best condition to cope with the next strongest flood peak.
Perhaps the third wave of the flood peak became cunning and learned to secretly accumulate strength, so until the evening, the Yishui embankment was not hit by the flood peak. Taking advantage of this precious time, the repair of the second embankment and the construction of the third line of defense were finally completed on the embankment, and everyone's hearts were a little more confident at this time.
The night gradually crept up, and the Yishui embankment was still brightly lit and busy, and the wind and rain continued to invade the busy soldiers. Fortunately, the Yishui under the embankment is still relatively honest, and the third wave of the flood peak has not yet come.
As the night progressed, the hearts of Tian Mingli and the others became heavier and heavier, and the third wave of the strongest Hong Feng was about to strike......
In fact, the third wave of the strongest flood peak has come, but he is much smarter than the second wave of the flood peak, and he did not directly and recklessly rush to the embankment like the second wave of the flood peak, but completed the last force continuation in the dark.
Under the cover of night, the water level slowly climbed up, and it was already approaching the warning level of the second embankment. Therefore, after discovering that the water level was rising, everyone began to frantically strengthen the second embankment, which is the best second embankment defense line is the last defense of the "golden lifeline" - once broken, the flood peak will drive straight into the Pengcheng area behind him.
Engineer Li's analysis was still very accurate, and he did not spend the night very calmly, and the third wave of the flood peak came madly in the early morning with the momentum of destroying the world.
The sky in the heavy rain had just rubbed the white of the fish's belly, and the originally calm Yishui suddenly became manic, and the waves rose in waves, constantly licking the second embankment.
Suddenly, a small wave suddenly swelled up, rushing straight to the second embankment, and some of the higher waves had already crossed the second embankment and were about to rush to the third embankment. Fortunately, the second embankment was very strong and could hold back the waves.
However, everyone didn't know that this was just a test of the third wave of the strongest flood peak, and a moment later, waves that seemed to swallow the sky rushed directly onto the Yishui embankment.
If in the face of the second wave of the flood peak, everyone did not feel how terrible, then in the face of the third wave of the strongest flood peak, everyone felt the irresistible majesty of nature.
After only two round-trips, the second embankment was broken like a piece of paper, and then Hong Feng rushed directly to the third embankment.
Wave after wave of high waves, constantly breaking through the second embankment and rushing to the last, and the momentum is growing stronger and stronger - it is almost a matter of time before the embankment is broken.
"Boom ......"
A loud bang exploded on the embankment, and the section of Gate 3 was breached by the flood peak with a breach of about ten meters.
The turbid flood rushed through the breach and rushed towards the plain behind him, and because of the large peak of the flood, the width of the breach was constantly expanding, and it had reached more than ten meters in just ten seconds.
Su Chenyu looked at the surging flood and couldn't help but be shocked, the Yishui embankment was still broken by the strongest flood peak of the third wave.
However, there is still a need to save now, otherwise once the breach expands, then the entire Yishui embankment will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and the flood will be a flat river in the face of the "undefended" Pengcheng area.
At this time, relying on sandbags to fill the breach couldn't be plugged at all, and without thinking about it, Su Chenyu, who was wearing a life jacket, jumped directly off the breach - using his thin body to block the surging flood.
"Jump down and keep your body out of the flood. β
Su Chenyu's jump and shout made all the soldiers see hope, so they jumped off the breach.
With Su Chenyu as the center, everyone gathered together and used their own flesh and blood to build a "Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" to resist Hong Feng.
In the flood, Su Chenyu and the warrior brothers around him hugged their shoulders, and used their flesh and blood to block the raging flood, hoping to slow down his coming.
Another wave hit up, and Su Chenyu was overturned all of a sudden, almost being swallowed up in the flood peak. Fortunately, the warrior brothers behind him used their bodies to resist him to the death, so that he would not be overturned and washed away.
At this time, at the breach of the embankment section of Gate No. 3, a picture appeared that would move countless Chinese people in the future - in the turbid flood, the soldiers wearing red life jackets held each other together, endured the impact of muddy water, and used their bodies to build a "Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" to defend the millions of people behind them.
This picture was perfectly captured, and together with the moment when Su Chenyu "jumped to the sky" just now, it was recorded by reporter Gu Da with a camera.
Soon after, the two photographs were circulating around the globe β one titled "The Greatest Leap" and the other "The Great Wall of Flesh......
