Chapter 297: The Guardian of the Levee

The light rain was pouring outside, and there was really no way to sleep in such a terrible environment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info In the morning, the sky was still dark, and a military horn sounded to wake up the two, and the soldiers' new day of battle began.

The star fruit got up and put on its coat, the inside of the tent was still drier than the outside, and a cool breeze came out when the plastic door of the tent was opened. "It's a little cold." She shuddered.

There are a number of people in the camp who have not yet been evacuated, mostly women and children, and even a person who has been coughing. The cooking class is cooking, in this case, everyone does not pay attention to anything, and when they get up in the morning, they eat big steamed buns, and a few large pots boil rice porridge with salt.

Hu Chenghe beckoned the cooking team to add some ingredients to the two children, and then he personally brought the food to the tent of the brothers and sisters.

There was no particularly good hospitality under difficult circumstances, and star fruit saw that there were eggs on her plate. Da Ming is also puzzled, is it because he is also a child, so the food is higher than others. "Eat quickly, and the plane will come and pick up the stranded refugees in a while. I've been thinking about it for the night, and I'm sure you'd better evacuate. ā€

Carambola looked at him calmly, and did not take the plate with both hands. "Dad, we're not leaving. I said I would help everyone with the disaster, and my brother and I are definitely not a burden. ā€

"That is, the ancients said that when fighting a war, brothers go into battle, father and son soldiers. You are my future father-in-law, so don't my son-in-law have to behave too? Besides, probably tomorrow our Mi-26 will fly. Da Ming patted his chest with pride.

Hu Chenghe smiled and shook his head and put the plate on the table. After all, her daughter is not her own blood, but she and Yang Mingzhi are both good children with a lot of backbone. If he really blew them away here, it might also be the meaning of the disobedient old man, since they came over, they must have gotten the permission of the old man.

One by one, the soldiers of the night vigil withdrew exhausted, and they ate and drank heavily before going to the barracks to rest.

Hu Chenghe stood at the door for a while, and when his daughter finished eating, he ordered the guards to take out all the plates. "Xiao Liu, you look at the two of them, you can't let them go up to the embankment, if they are in danger, I will ask you." He commanded.

"Yes, please rest assured, chief." The warrior Xiao Liu stood upright and saluted. Hu Cheng's head sank and walked into the distance.

Star fruit stood at the door of the tent and watched his back, at this moment there are countless loveliest people fighting on the front line of the flood fight.

She is still quite clear about the course of this flood, and the flood peak will hit the Yangtze River embankment wave after wave. Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake and other lakes overflow all the way, which is also the most worrying thing for the Hu Cheng River, this earthen dam only experienced a flood peak before it was in a hurry.

Da Ming sat in the tent bored, and he really wanted to do his part in the disaster relief. He looked at the warrior Xiao Liu, and it seemed that this one was not a few years older than him.

Since he was bored, he sat down and talked, and Xiao Liu also talked about his own business.

"My name is Liu Yanlei, I joined the army last year, and I am nineteen years old this year."

"So you joined the army right out of high school?" Da Ming asked.

"Yes, but you're more weird, don't you go to school?"

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled. "I want to go to school, and I'm also a high school student when this summer passes."

"So you're only in your third year of junior high school? But you don't look like that! Xiao Liu asked in surprise.

To be honest, Yang Mingzhi's appearance really doesn't look like a junior high school student, and his life experience has given him some adult temperament, even if his face is immature, his chin and lips still grow a beard that symbolizes adults. Perhaps it is the Manchu blood that causes the hair to be more vigorous. "Eat well, so be stronger."

"Maybe so, you have a very close relationship with the chief, and I heard you say that you are still my chief's son-in-law. But you're a junior high school student. He looked at the star fruit in even more surprise. But her daughter is still a child. ā€

"Brother Liu, you're checking your household registration." Star fruit said impatiently.

Xiao Liu knows that he doesn't ask anymore at most, and it's boring to sit here, and if Da Ming wants to go out for a walk, then he will lead the way. There was a war-ready tent in the camp, and Xiao Liu pointed to a group of comrades-in-arms and said: "You see, this temporary warehouse is full of burlap bags and woven bags, and we used this soil to strengthen the embankment. ā€

Da Ming nodded, and then asked, "Then how heavy is the soil, and the damp soil must be very heavy." ā€

"A sack of sixty kilograms." One of the warriors laughed, and he recognized the star fruit at a glance. "That's it, you're star fruit, the daughter of our regiment leader."

Star fruit looked at the warrior in surprise. "You know me."

"Of course I know you." He stood up and shouted, "Come on, come on, our head of the regiment's daughter is here, everyone come and take a look." At this call, many people gathered around, and many soldiers who stayed behind inquired and rushed to take their positions to see the little girl.

The soldiers were full of praise, mostly praising the regiment commander's daughter for her beauty, and some questioning the regiment commander's inappropriateness in bringing his family. Anyway, she came, and Xiao Liu tried to disperse her comrades.

After everyone left, the brother and sister sat down with the veterans in the temporary warehouse to talk. A person carrying sixty kilograms of things on his back is embarrassed. "Your problem is not a problem, just sixty kilograms. You must know that our fifteen kilometers of armed training every week are twenty or thirty kilograms of full armament. Sixty kilograms is absolutely fine to run. The veteran bragged about the martial arts of his comrades-in-arms, and the Ming clapped his hands in admiration.

"But you're still too tired." Carambola said worriedly.

The veteran smiled bitterly back, and only they knew the real warmth and coldness.

Hu Chenghe stood on the embankment, and under the embankment was the surging river water, and the water level of the river was higher than the ground at this moment. The trapezoidal embankment is being reinforced, and villagers and warriors are constantly carrying sandbags, and the entire embankment is covered with sandbags. This situation is really a helpless move, and once again, no one would have thought that there would be huge precipitation in 98.

They also don't know that the vegetation in the Yangtze River basin has been severely destroyed for economic development. Big trees are the best way to keep soil erosion in place, but unfortunately the big trees are cut down for timber, and a lot of soil erosion silts up the dams to reduce the storage capacity, and the soil erosion is even worse when the water arrives.

Hu Chenghe's biggest concern was the dam breaching, and the cement piers and triangular iron barriers brought by his daughter and son-in-law became excellent dam fixtures. These things are arranged in an important place, but unfortunately there are not many of them. "My daughter said that there is still support on the way, should I urge it?" As soon as he thought about it, he did so, and hurried down the embankment.

In the afternoon, an army helicopter arrived, the plane stopped at a makeshift tarmac, and a dozen women and children walked up with a few salutes. Star fruit and Da Ming were standing and watching on the side, and suddenly a word came from the plane. "You two, hurry up and get on the plane."

Xiao Liu immediately ran forward and told them that the two children were staying. "What stays behind and doesn't stay, don't you little comrade know that you can't keep children here?" Two fighters jumped out of the plane, claiming to have received orders to send all the women and children in the affected area to the rear safety zone.

It was really a huge misunderstanding, Da Ming explained the situation to him, but these two were too lazy to listen to the explanation. Xiao Liu's opposition and dragging were also misunderstood, but fortunately, Hu Chenghe's timely arrival resolved the misunderstanding.

He saluted the two warriors and said, "These two are my children, and they have received special orders to assist me. I'm responsible for something, I'm the person in charge here, you guys go back. ā€

As soon as they saw his brief chapter, the warriors understood, and returned the salute and said, "In that case, we won't say more, take care, chief." "Two fighters got on the plane, and the Z-8 left with the last batch of women and children.

Star fruit watched it take off, its long hair blown away by the strong wind. Soon their own plane will also arrive, and it will be even more powerful.

In the tent of the headquarters, Hu Chenghe asked about the support, and he needed more three-legged iron barriers and cement piers. The brother and sister remembered that they did tell the factory in Hangzhou 1 to produce more of this, and the scrap copper and rotten iron were also welded to increase the weight. Unfortunately, they couldn't be delivered on time, and the road conditions were really bad.

"It's easy to wait for the plane to arrive, and then it can be transported by air." Carambola explained.

Maybe it can only be like this, or do the work at hand first, Hu Chenghe called his subordinates together to arrange new defense work.
