The village committee sent Lin Haicao away, and Zhao Da couldn't lift his spirits when he did anything for a while, so he knew the pain of lovesickness. When he woke up, he made a heavy vow that he would mix up his personal appearance within two years, and in the future, he would go to Guangzhou to marry Lin Haicao into Zhaojia Village.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, just into May began to rain, down and down for more than a month, in the middle of June when the heavy rain finally came, several large reservoirs nearby were already in full load flooding, this rainstorm finally could not hold, the southern provinces are in danger everywhere, the major cities are a vast ocean.

Beishan County is not much better, for three consecutive days of heavy rain Beishan County flooded most of the county, and the news of landslides came from time to time in various villages and townships. As soon as the flood warning was issued that night, Zhao Daxi led the elders of Zhaojia Village to hide in the human air defense hole on the mountainside with valuable things, which was built according to the standard of defending against atomic bombs, and the mountain was made of reinforced concrete, and several drainage channels were specially dug in front of the cave.

The yellow mud and the mountain torrent poured down, the father and elder of Zhaojia Village hid in the cave peacefully, eating rice instant noodles and listening to the radio, the surrounding ten miles and eight villages have already been washed by the flash flood several times, not to mention the house, not to mention the house, even a complete piece of land can not be found. Zhao Daxi was confident and found a harmonica, playing and singing in the cave.

The father of Zhaojia Village was convinced, and at this time he had already regarded him as a god, and the mountain torrent was raging outside, and the cave was blowing and singing and singing, which was like a paradise. He also sent a few strong young men to take advantage of the light rain to go to the county seat to pick up Zhang Han's family of three and arrange the Zhang family's family properly.

Zhang Han's family had been hungry for a day, and it took them a long time to eat and drink in the cave before they recovered.

Zhang Han looked at the mountains of materials in front of him, his face changed several times, and finally sighed: "Lao Zhao, I am convinced." ”

Zhao Daxi didn't ask for credit, pulled him in front of him and interrogated him carefully: "How is the situation in the county?" ”

Zhang Han sighed dejectedly: "It's all flooded, and the shallowest place is more than a meter deep, and even I came out in a boat." It's been two days since there has been no electricity and food in the city...... If this continues, the consequences will be unimaginable, and I am afraid that the hungry people will rush the people to grab food, and it will be bad. ”

Zhao Daxi comforted him a few words, and continued to ask: "How is the county party committee compound?" ”

Zhang Han reluctantly raised his head and replied: "The county party committee compound is okay, the Ministry of People's Armed Forces has specially sent a company of the reserve to guard it, so it won't cause too much chaos...... Ahem, leaders, safety is always more important than ordinary people. ”

Zhao Daxi was too lazy to care about these things, just scolding a few bureaucrats in his heart, which was more shameless than ordinary people.

Zhang Han relieved himself and his spirits were much better: "Second child, what are you going to do, I don't know what the situation is like for the third child." ”

Zhao Daxi put his hand on his shoulder and whispered a few words, I have already sent someone to the third place, nothing serious.

The key is that this matter is urgent, this is the credit that our brothers have earned with great difficulty, but we can't let people snatch it, you listen to my arrangement so that people won't rob the credit, we are all in-service national cadres, and we always have to show a performance at the moment of the catastrophe, if you are rewarded for meritorious deeds in the future, especially you Deputy Captain Zhang, you can make enough political capital.

Zhang Han was convinced by him, and nodded frequently with joy on his face.

The elders of Zhaojia Village hid in the cave for a few days, and waited until the rain was a little lighter and the flash flood was not so fierce. Zhao Daxi waved the flag, he had already taken the young people in the village to learn to drive an excavator, and even he himself had already learned. At this time, eighteen wheeled excavators two Dongfeng trucks were connected at the end, full of oil and materials and drove down the mountain, where the road was not passable, eighteen excavators took turns to fight, and after a while, they forcibly dug a channel, tossed for most of the day, and the convoy finally drove on the national highway, and the future was flat, and there were occasionally a few landslides.

He had already prepared twenty big red flags, which were hung high on the roof of the car, and the flags were printed with three big white characters "Zhaojia Village", which were both conspicuous and majestic. It's just that the situation is much worse than imagined, the 302 National Highway is paralyzed by landslides everywhere, you must know that the 302 National Highway is a transportation hub, the national highway does not pass through several dead cities west of Beishan County, and the disaster relief materials cannot be transported in, they are all blocked in the east of Laowang Township, and it is difficult to move an inch.

Zhao Daxi was not in a hurry at this time, and took the excavator fleet to stop and go, just as a tour of the mountains and rivers. When it was almost noon, I drove to the front of a landslide and met the head of Ma Township, Hou Hou, and a large group of township cadres were jumping in a hurry, and were directing the militia of various villages to repair the road overnight.

More than 100 young adults from each village picked up shovels and pickaxes and went into battle together, and after being tired all night, people were paralyzed, and the progress was not much, and the two township chiefs were so anxious that their eyes were red. At dawn that morning, Zhao Daxi drove an excavator to take the lead, and the long steel convoy rumbled in, and the township cadres almost lost their jaws when they saw his big black face, and then looked at the long convoy behind him, and they were already so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Zhao Daxi stepped on the wheels more than two meters high, probed out of the cab, and shouted: "Township Chief, what are you busy with?" ”

Township Chief Ma and Deputy Township Chief Hou looked at each other and were speechless, Zhao Daxi applauded and shouted a few times: "Do you want to help, Township Chief?" ”

The township cadres woke up like a dream and hurriedly got out of the way, and the head of Ma Township waved his hand excitedly: "Daxi, quickly lead people to open up the road in front of you first, several city people are waiting for dinner, 100,000 are in a hurry!" ”

Zhao Daxi laughed, waved his big hand Zhaojia Village young people were in good spirits, eighteen excavators rumbled over, even the stones with mud to see what to dig what, when they encountered a big tree that could not be dug up, they tied ropes, and easily pulled away with Dongfeng heavy trucks, and opened up a road in only two hours.

The young people of each village stood on the side of the road with shovels and pickaxes, and they were dumbfounded, how to compare manpower with excavators, there is no comparison, this thing is more than two meters high just on wheels, and it rumbles all the way with full horsepower, and even the Shiqiao River can't stop it. Zhao Daxi showed his face this time, and he was tirelessly busy until the night, before ordering everyone to rest for two hours. The rumbling sound of diesel motors suddenly stopped, and the national highway fell into a deathly silence again, and the young man from Zhaojia Village, who had been swimming out for a short time to inquire about the news, came back.

The two young men came over and whispered: "Uncle, I have inquired clearly, there is a whole regiment of disaster relief troops from the military region, and they have all gone to the dam of the Shihe Reservoir, and we see that the county magistrate, the county party secretary, and the town mayor are all there." ”

Zhao Daxi asked in a whisper, "How many cars are there?" ”

The two young men thought about it seriously before replying: "I didn't see any cars, not a single one, just some soldiers are fighting sacks, uncle, the reservoir dam may be finished." ”

Zhao Daxi and Zhang Han looked at each other and showed relieved expressions at the same time, knowing that the situation was urgent, and the disaster relief troops of this regiment were likely to come by forced march on foot. The two looked at each other for a long time and laughed dryly at the same time, and then whistled again, and the eighteen excavators rumbled again.

At the same time, the Shihe Reservoir Dam, the temporary disaster relief headquarters.

In the humble tent of the headquarters, the two colonels and two lieutenant colonels had already boiled until their eyes were red, and the county magistrate and secretary of the county party committee were also present, and they did not dare to take a breath in front of the army commander. The colonel's officer, who was no more than forty years old, was meditating on the map, scratching his head irritably from time to time.

After being silent for a long time, the county magistrate finally couldn't help it, and cleared his throat: "Commander Chi, the cadres and soldiers are tired, do you want to let the soldiers ...... Let's get a good night's sleep first. ”

Chi Tuan Chang was angry: "What do you sleep, the dam collapses, and the old men have to fall to the ground." Do you have heavy machinery for me, how did you become a county magistrate, you can't even find an excavator in such a big Beishan County...... As for the grain, don't you know how to reserve a little material in the locality, Lao Tzu is a full regiment, walked 300 kilometers from the military region, and the military rations brought by him have all been eaten, what kind of sleep can you sleep on a hungry stomach? ”

The county magistrate couldn't raise his head when he scolded him, and explained stubbornly: "Commander Chi, don't get excited, you are right, it is a mistake in our local work, I have asked people to find grain, and there should be some at the county grain depot." ”

He himself is not confident enough to talk about it, the county road has been blocked and the grain has been cut off for a whole day, and the food has been eaten up early.

Fortunately, there was a calm political commissar who persuaded a few words: "Calm down, Lao Chi, take the soldiers down and rest first." ”

The county magistrate hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, first withdraw the soldiers, and let the county reserves and the young adults in the townships and towns go up." ”

Captain Chi was still very dissatisfied, and he snorted coldly a few times and stopped talking.

Not to mention the noisy and noisy disaster relief headquarters, Zhao Daxi and Zhang Han were busy all night, and finally rushed to the Shihe Reservoir before dawn. Seeing that the reservoir dam is close at hand, thousands of soldiers and civilians on the dam are guarding to the death, and although it can block the monstrous water, the situation is not optimistic.

Zhang Han showed a worried expression in his eyes, and he was still a little worried: "Lao Zhao, is your method okay?" “

Zhao Daxi patted him on the shoulder kindly: "Wealth is in danger, if it doesn't work, you have to give it a try." ”
