After Jiang Hao arrived at the headquarters of COSCO Dam, he directly asked Deputy Commander Tan what their tasks were. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How many of you came?"

"We're more than 30 people here, where do you think we're going?"

"Okay, you are all special forces, now you hurry up to the dam to help the troops over there, now the dam is in danger, I will send someone to take you over immediately, don't waste time here." β€œ

"Alright, then we'll get there. β€œ

"Xiao Zhang, take them to the dam!"

"Yes!"

After Jiang Hao came out of the temporary headquarters for disaster relief, he hurriedly put Geng Jihui and them together, and followed Xiao Zhang to the dam. The road was full of soaking wet soldiers, as well as civilians who had been rescued from other places. It didn't take long for them to reach the COSCO Dam, the embankment has now begun to leak, and the soldiers who went to the direction of the dam are carrying sandbags on their shoulders, and the soldiers who came back are in a hurry, everyone has a strained face, even if people who know each other meet, they all nod to each other and hurry.

Jiang Hao and the others didn't say anything when they saw this, and they had a tacit understanding with each other and ran towards the big truck parked by the river. Everyone picked up sandbags and ran in the direction of the gap in the embankment, the sandbags are not light, each has about 50 pounds, ordinary people can't resist a few bags, Jiang Hao also found that many soldiers are gritting their teeth and insisting. Some people even had their legs trembling, but no one complained of bitterness or tiredness. This is the People's Liberation Army, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the people's soldiers.

Jiang Hao carried sandbags and ran towards the dam like everyone else, the only difference between Jiang Hao and others was that everyone else carried one sandbag, and he carried two sandbags, if it wasn't for Jiang Hao's fear that others would look at him like a monster, he would have to carry another bag. Although there were many people on the road, there was no scattering, and the soldiers who went back and forth walked on their own side. There is no one in the slightest and there is confusion.

Jiang Hao and the others soon arrived at the embankment, and they didn't feel anything when they were far away, but when they walked in, they felt the impact of the water, and there was already a gap on the embankment, and the sandbags that everyone was carrying were all plugging the gap, but it didn't seem to be of much use. The current is still strong, and the power of nature is strong. Suddenly, there was another flood peak in the distance, and the sandbags that had just been lowered were washed away in an instant, and the water quickly flowed downstream from the gap. At the beginning, the disaster relief headquarters did not think about flood relief, but now the COSCO Dam is very important, and if the flood is released, millions of people downstream will be besieged by floodwaters, countless houses will collapse, and thousands of acres of fertile land will be submerged. Therefore, the most important thing now is to keep the COSCO Dam and buy time for the people in the lower reaches of the Lai River to transfer work.

However, the water flow at the mouth was very fast, and the sandbags that had just been blocked were washed away in an instant. If this continues, it is likely that the dam will be washed away from here, and the damage will be immeasurable.

"Let's stand hand in hand in the water, use their bodies to slow down the flow of water, and then plug the gap with sandbags. Jiang Hao also had no choice but to let people plug this gap, you must know that it is very dangerous to use your body to plug the gap, if you don't grasp it when the next flood peak comes, it will be washed away by the flood, once it is washed away by the flood, the chance of survival will be infinitely small.

Jiang Hao took the lead in jumping into the water, Geng Jihui and the others also jumped into the water, and then everyone stood in the water hand in hand, blocking the flow of water with their bodies and slowing down the speed of the water with their bodies. The human body has a lot of buoyancy in the water, so everyone was shaky at the beginning, and it was better to know that everyone was holding hands. But the body in the water is not as focused as it is on land, so even though everyone is holding hands, the body still swayes, but it is much better than at the beginning. Jiang Hao and the others finally stood up straight in the water, although it was still unstable, it could already play a role in slowing down the flow of water.

"Everybody's holding on, don't let go no matter what. Go and get some ropes, and tie them around the waists of the people in the water every few to make an insursurance. The soldiers who had just put down the sandbags listened to Jiang Hao's words and hurriedly went back to find the rope, at this time, every second of delay at this time, they were in danger for a second. Soon the rope was taken, and the soldiers on the embankment jumped into the water one after another, tied the rope around Jiang Hao's waist, and then clenched the rope in their hands tightly after returning to the dam.

………………

When I saw them jump into the water and block the flow of water with their bodies, I cried, I really cried, people who have not seen that scene will not understand my feelings at that time, this is called the People's Liberation Army of the Chinese People's Army, they are using their lives to protect the dam, and use their lives to protect the lives and property of the people downstream of the COSCO Dam.

When the people needed them, they did not hesitate, they were not afraid, they stood up and used their lives to protect the people, they are the loveliest people. At this moment, I realized that they were the most handsome people in the world. Although their bodies are shaking, I know that they are the strongest foundation of the motherland.

――――From "Donghai Daily"

……………………

Disaster Relief Command.

"What's going on with the dam now, has the gap been plugged?"

"Not yet, just now there is news from the dam that the flood peak that has just passed has washed away all the sandbags, and Chief Jiang Hao and they are blocking the gap with their bodies. β€œ

"Go, send more manpower, so that they must plug the gap, and the lives and property safety of millions of people downstream are all in our hands. In addition, tell the personnel on duty to ensure that the road is clear and there is no slightest congestion. β€œ

"Yes!"

"How is the resettlement of the rescued victims?

"Now all the relief tents are now in use, but there is still a steady stream of people sent here, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the relief tents will be insufficient. And it's going to get dark soon, and it's going to be even worse when the time comes. β€œ

"Immediately send people to contact the heads of the military region and Donghai City, and ask them to hurry up and deliver relief tents and food here, we can't let the soldiers suffer and then starve." If the tents are really insufficient, priority is given to the elderly, children and women, and young and middle-aged people are not to be accommodated at first, just send them over. β€œ

Tan Guowei said helplessly.

"Yes!"

"Tell the medical staff that they must ensure that every injured civilian and soldier can receive treatment as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!"

"What does the weather department say?"

"The meteorological department has just sent a message that this kind of weather will continue for another day tomorrow, and the daytime rainfall will drop the day after tomorrow. But there will be a brief pause for the big fish tonight. β€œ

Tan Guowei didn't say anything after listening, and walked towards the door of the tent, wanting to open the tent to relieve his depressed mood, but when he stood at the door of the tent, his mood was even more depressed, and he didn't know when the heavy rain would be, if the heavy rain continued, the COSCO Dam would definitely collapse, thinking of these Tan Guowei was even more depressed. Now Tan Guowei's mind is full of the people affected by the disaster and the situation of the COSCO Dam.

………………

Jiang Hao and the others stood in the water, although their bodies were shaking, but their hearts were as solid as a rock, and now they only had one thought, that is, even if they sacrificed themselves, they would protect the safety of the embankment. Eventually, the gap in the levee was closed, but fortunately there was no big flood peak, and if there were any more big peaks, I don't know what the dam would look like. Jiang Hao: They quickly came out with the help of soldiers on the embankment. Because Jiang Hao and the others had been standing in the water for a long time, even though it was already summer at this time, they still felt cold. Some people are even numb because of being soaked in water for a long time, and if it weren't for the help of the people on the embankment, they wouldn't have been able to get up at all. Jiang Hao It was already night when they came up, and everyone felt the cold. Except for Jiang Hao and Geng Jihui, the others who jumped into the water needed to be helped to walk after they came out.

When Jiang Hao and the others came out of the water, Tan Guowei already knew about it, and asked people to quickly bring Jiang Hao and them to the resettlement site. It didn't take long for Jiang Hao and them to arrive at the resettlement point, the cooking class had already boiled a lot of ginger soup and was waiting for Jiang Hao and them, Jiang Hao and the others were not polite, but the others handed over the bowl and drank it in a big gulp. Except for Geng Jihui and them, the other people who came out of the water were already very tired, so Jiang Hao asked people to help them to rest. And Jiang Hao went directly to the disaster relief headquarters.

"How is the situation downstream now?" Jiang Hao did not politely ask about the situation downstream after arriving at the headquarters.

"The downstream has just sent a message that the people downstream are organizing the people to move the masses, giving priority to the transfer of people on both sides of the Lai River, but the number of people is too much, and it will not be transferred at all for a while and a half, and the meteorological department said that there will be a short period of no rain tonight. In addition, all the food has been prepared, and now the fighters are taking turns to eat. The rest of the follow-up forces have arrived, and the daytime rescuers have been replaced, and they are now resting. β€œ

"I can't imagine what it would be like if it rained heavily for two more days. β€œ

"Don't worry, if the dam can be protected, if it really can't be protected, there is no big problem, the people downstream have been transferred, and the rest are houses, even if the dam really collapses, it will not threaten the lives of the people, but just lose some property." β€œ

"As long as the people are still there, there is no property to be earned, and if the people are gone, then everything is gone. Jiang Hao said this and remembered the missing old cannon, and he didn't know what happened to the old cannon. Reason told Jiang Hao that the old cannon had died now, but emotionally, Jiang Hao had always been reluctant to believe that the old cannon had sacrificed. Tan Guowei looked at Jiang Hao a little lonely, and knew that he remembered Zheng Sanpao, and someone had already told Tan Guowei about this matter.

"What's wrong?"

"It's fine, just remembered something bad. β€œ

"Jiang Hao wants to open something!" Tan Guowei didn't know what to say at this time.

"It's okay, it's really okay, I believe that the old cannon will be fine, I have always believed that the old cannon will be fine, the enemy's bullets and bullets have come over, not to mention a small flood. Jiang Hao smiled reluctantly, but the smile was ugly, Tan Guowei really didn't know what to say, and for a while the disaster relief headquarters was quiet, and there was a faint sadness around him.

"Chief, have a bite to eat!" a voice broke the silence in the headquarters.

"Let's put it here first, Jiang Hao, you can eat some too. β€œ

"Well, eat, I haven't drunk a sip of water since noon, I'm a little hungry. Soon someone outside sent a few pieces of individual dry food, Jiang Hao took it and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. The taste of the individual dry food itself is not very good, and it is like chewing wax in Jiang Hao's mouth. (To be continued.) )
