A new round of massive rain arrived in the evening, and the sound of the powerful rain woke the siblings up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Carambola rubbed her eyes and looked through the plastic windows of the tent to see the lights outside. "What the hell is going on?" It was noisy outside, someone was shouting loudly, and star fruit and her brother climbed out of bed. The soldiers outside the window are running in the rain one by one, holding flashlights.
At this time, Xiao Liu suddenly broke in and said: "It's raining heavily, the chief has already led people up to the embankment to guard, he ordered me to watch you, it's safe here." ”
As soon as these words came out, the heart of the star fruit immediately pinched. Even at night, the sound of this powerful rain can be guessed, and it must be pouring rain outside at this moment. The adoptive father led the troops to rush up the embankment at this moment, and it was really helpless to continue to strengthen the embankment in this heavy rain, he was responsible for the embankment, and there was no way back in this war.
Hu Chenghe stood on the wet embankment in the rain, shining on the river with the light of a flashlight, and now he saw the rolling waves, and even the trunks of trees that had been washed down. The resting villagers and militia were also woken up one after another, and the entire embankment suddenly became a busy construction site at night.
Everyone didn't think much about it, and now fear and slackness became meaningless, even if the fatigue and physical exertion during the day were terrible, and now they had no reason to rest. It is very dangerous that they are overdrawing their lives. This is the loveliest person, the people and the country are the most important, even if they know that it is a death to do this, the young soldiers still carry the sacks and run in the rain without hesitation.
Maybe only the brother and sister can rest tonight, and the two of them can't have a good rest with such a noisy scene.
Fighting like this, before I knew it, the rain stopped at dawn. After six hours of heavy rain, there were no problems with the embankment in charge of Hu Chenghe, but in the morning a phone call came to report that there had been multiple executions in the upstream area.
Just upstream of the group, several embankments were washed away by the flood, and the mud-based embankment could not withstand the heavy rain after all. The small gap slowly grew larger, and there were already reports of casualties and missing, and his superiors actually ordered him to stare at the river to see if there were any officers and soldiers who had been washed away.
Hu Chenghe didn't dare to take it lightly, and the exhausted soldiers sat on the embankment to rest, and the soldiers were still clutching the heavy sacks in their hands.
"Xiao Wu, wake up, let's go back to dinner. Xiao Wu? A soldier pushed his comrade-in-arms, but unfortunately, with a slight push, the soldier named Xiao Wu lay on the ground. Tired soldiers gathered around, only to see that his lips were already purple and his body was cold.
"Xiao Wu! Don't scare me! "No matter how the soldier pushed, the fallen soldier didn't say anything after all, and he died.
Dead, just dead, the fighters died at the scene of the flood fight. The news immediately informed Hu Chenghe, who had organized the filing in the headquarters, and he ran all the way to the embankment with the staff and political commissar.
Star fruit and Da Ming stood at the mouth of the tent, and the soldiers placed the bodies of their fallen comrades on stretchers, and they lined up to salute their comrades. The bodies were brought to the camp surrounded by a crowd of people, stretchers covered with cloths, many soldiers were crying, some were weeping, and some were so tired that they were dozing in the mud.
Hu Chenghe knew in his heart that he was already very tired, so the soldiers who barely rested and worked continuously were definitely even worse. He knew very well that it was impossible for the command to send any more reinforcements, and now the whole river basin must be in an emergency.
The bodies of the fallen soldiers were temporarily placed in a makeshift tent, and medical staff sprinkled disinfectants while helicopters were rushing there.
Thinking that this matter could be over, he had already ordered the soldiers to rest on the ground and everyone to rest and accumulate precious physical strength. A new phone call came, which was reported by the General Command, and the helicopter that had come to pick up the remains of the fallen soldiers actually found residents who had not yet evacuated?
"What? There are still people in Niujia Village who haven't been evacuated, haven't they already withdrawn? He hung up the phone angrily, and together with the people who had already been evacuated, they ran back to get their belongings. When this kind of life is critical, he is still in charge of his property, and he has no choice but to send someone to rescue.
The political commissar stopped the regiment commander who was about to leave and asked, "Do you need to go in person to save the fellows?" Look at your girl, do you want her to run into the flood? ”
Hu Chenghe glanced at his daughter standing at the door of the tent, and her brother behind her. He smiled slightly and said to the old man: "We are soldiers but the country is greater than the family, my daughter will understand, what her father does is for everyone." Sometimes we have no choice but to give up our small family for everyone. ”
Without hesitation, he took the soldiers and took three assault boats to Niujia Village, where the villager was located. He was confident that he would return safely on this trip, but he and everyone knew that a greater flood would follow.
The commissar took over the burden of the regimental commander, and everyone knew their tasks. The commissar divided the people into two groups, and now more of the militia and villagers were fighting, and all the elite soldiers had to do was sleep in the camp.
The new call was broadcast urgently, and the superior almost ordered at the top of his voice: "Hu Chenghe, let all your troops be dispatched, the flood peak will come, and the embankment will not be broken." "The superiors didn't know that it was the political commissar who answered the phone now, and the regiment commander personally led the troops to rescue people at this moment, and there was a suspicion of escaping.
I don't want to do so much now, since Hong Feng is coming, let him come.
On the embankment, the soldiers sang songs. "This is the last struggle, unite until tomorrow!" The military song was loud, the second wave of the flood peak, and with the experience of the first wave, the soldiers were tired but high-spirited. The embankment was littered with sandbags, and the flood was about breaking down.
The brother and sister were standing in the camp, the weather conditions were actually very good, the sky was cloudy but there was no rain, there were rows of soldiers and militiamen in swimsuits on the embankment, and many people in the camp were still shoveling soil and loading sandbags. The two of them obeyed Hu Chenghe's orders and stayed in the camp to keep up with the changes.
The flood peak has reached the upper reaches, and the unplugged gaps upstream have widened, more river water has poured into farmland, and many villages have been washed away in the floodwaters.
Hu Chenghe found those fellow villagers, and he reasoned with them excitedly. The fellow knows very well that it is not right to come back without permission, but if he does not take away some important things at home, his life will be very troublesome in the future. Thinking of the rain, they took a risk, but the heavy rain at night Niujiazhuang has become an island. The terrain is high so there is no risk of submergence, but several fighters have noticed that the water level is rising.
Just when he hesitated, the water level suddenly soared, and those assault boats that had been fixed were actually washed away, and everyone was dumbfounded. The fellow immediately panicked, and several women sat directly on the ground in a hurry.
"You're all crying, now let's go to the high ground!" Under Hu Chenghe's order, everyone gathered at the highest point of the village.
Thinking that he had finally reached a place of temporary safety, new troubles followed, and even at the breach of the levee that he was supposed to be guarding, he still appeared.
The embankment is fighting, the soldiers know what it means, and many are fleeing. The embankment was breached, five or six soldiers, a dozen militiamen were swept out by the flood, two struggled to escape, and the others were helplessly swept away by the river.
Stormy seas, this is no less than a battlefield full of war, this is another kind of tragic battlefield. The water rushed several feet high, and the soldiers who were rushing towards the embankment were swept away. The rushing river gushed out, and the living people staggered to the camp.
What can I do?
At this moment, there was a strange noise in the sky, and the Naohachi, who was supposed to take the remains of the fallen soldiers, came and witnessed the breach of the embankment, including many people being swallowed up by the waves.
The Hucheng River in Niujiazhuang is increasingly concerned about the rising water level, which only means that the levee has burst. The child should have no problem. Now he can't think about anything else, so he can only climb up to the houses with the villagers and pray that the flood will not wash them away.
"They should be here, my planes are always on time!" Da Ming looked at the sky anxiously, waiting finally did not disappoint him, and the Mi 26 finally arrived on the scheduled day.
