Chapter 587: Desperate Mayor
Wu Peng's words had just fallen, and suddenly a section of the wall was washed away by the waves, and as soon as this opening was opened, the sea water swarmed in, and the wall on the entire seawall was immediately washed down by more than 400 meters, which was like a domino, which was completely a joint effect.
Nie Zhenbang's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Battalion Commander Wu, do you really want to break the embankment?" You know, behind us, seventy or eighty meters away, are the houses. ”
The meaning of Nie Zhenbang's words, where Wu Peng could not be clear, as a soldier of the people, protecting the safety of the people's lives and property is an unshirkable responsibility and obligation.
Now, when the seawall is broken, it is a dereliction of duty to see the lives and property of the people being threatened. However, according to Wu Peng's many years of experience as the commander of the engineering battalion of the Wanghai Garrison, the seawall must not be able to be saved, and then, Wu Peng nodded and said: "Mayor, I'm afraid I can't keep it." ”
As soon as Wu Peng's words fell, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, which was particularly terrifying in this dark night, and then there was a roar. On both sides, searchlights on the building also flashed a few times.
Next to him, the mobile phone in Li Jupeng's hand had already rang. This is Mayor Nie's number, as soon as it is connected, a voice on the other side of the phone comes over, but the rain is too strong for Nie Zhenbang and the others to hear clearly.
Li Jupeng also said loudly at this moment: "Okay, I know." I immediately relayed it to the mayor. ”
"Mayor, just now, there was news from the Electric Power Bureau that two 250,000-volt high-voltage lines have been broken out, and at present, the staff of the power supply department are making every effort to repair them." Li Jupeng reported loudly.
This made Nie Zhenbang's brows tighten, this time the typhoon attacked, so that Nie Zhenbang felt powerless for the first time, in the face of natural disasters, what are people.
Immediately, Nie Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "I instruct all the leaders in charge to pay attention to the safety of the people and the rescue personnel. In this case, people are the most important. ”
At this moment, another wave rushed over, and the seawall surged a few times, but the gap that was eight meters long was suddenly washed out, and I saw this scene. Nie Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "Battalion Commander Wu, pass on my orders."
All the palace soldiers, all of them, immediately blocked the breach, 100,000 can't let the sea water pour in like this, otherwise, the entire Wanghai Island will be covered by sea water. ”
At this moment, Wu Peng did not hesitate, put his feet together, and said loudly: "Yes, I promise to complete the task." ”
However, what Wu Peng and Liu Zhiyong didn't expect was that Nie Zhenbang pulled up his trousers at this moment and rushed out.
This scene made Wu Peng a little shocked, and said loudly: "Mayor, what are you doing here?" ”
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang raised his eyebrows, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Battalion Commander Wu, rush to the rescue, what do you see me doing, now, time is life." Act now. ”
Li Jupeng also rushed out at this moment, the heavy rain brought by the typhoon washed away people's bodies, at this moment, in the area of Wanghai seawall, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, standing in the rain, looking at Mayor Nie, their hearts are also purified. The eyes were full of respect and adoration.
"Mayor, you can't go, it's dangerous." Li Jupeng shouted loudly, wanting to stop Nie Zhenbang's behavior.
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang said angrily: "Li Jupeng, what are you doing? Do you want me to hide under the tent like a shrunken turtle and watch the warriors fight for their lives? Let me tell you, Li Jupeng, I Nie Zhenbang can't do it. Listen to my orders and go back immediately, here, there is nothing for you to do, otherwise, you will not be a secretary. ”
Li Jupeng was scolded by Nie Zhenbang like this, and the whole person was stunned, but he still stubbornly said: "Mayor, even if you remove me, I can't let you go, I am your secretary, and my duty is to ensure your safety." ”
Nie Zhenbang couldn't care so much at the moment. With a wave of his hand, he lifted Li Jupeng away, Nie Zhenbang's strength is not comparable to a weak scholar like Li Jupeng.
At this moment, seeing Nie Zhenbang's back, he gritted his teeth, and Li Jupeng also rushed forward. Standing at the breach, watching the sea water rush in. Nie Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "Battalion Commander Wu, tell the soldiers to find two ropes and set up a rescue death squad. I led the group, all of them put on life jackets, connected them with ropes, went into the water, threw sandbags, and blocked the breach. ”
Nie Zhenbang's words made Wu Peng a little shocked, the breach more than eight meters wide, at this moment, the powerful division power generated by the inflow of seawater is enough to make a car wash away and people into the water, so small. Isn't this death?
As soon as he gritted his teeth, Wu Peng also let it go, a deputy provincial cadre like Mayor Nie dared to work hard, what pity was there for his own life.
Then he gritted his teeth and said: "Mayor, this can't be done, it's too dangerous down there, you have to go, let me go down." ”
Nie Zhenbang was very annoyed at the moment, how could these people be like this, could it be that he really didn't have any golden branches and jade leaves. Immediately, he said angrily: "Fart, you are the commander of the engineering battalion, how to arrange, how to put you know better than me, do you say, you go down, let Lao Tzu take your place to command?" ! I used to be a soldier, and that didn't bother me. Comrade Wu Peng, this is an order, and in my capacity as director of the Wanghai City National Defense Committee, I order you to immediately carry out your task. ”
Two pieces of rope the thickness of the baby's arms immediately came to me. With a distance of eight meters, even in such a situation of strong wind and rain, there is no problem in throwing it over.
Nie Zhenbang has also put on a life jacket. The first to jump into the water, at this moment, around the seawall, thousands of people have gathered.
Mayor Nie's actions also moved everyone present. Many hot-blooded young men also yelled one after another: "Fight, for our own homeland, Mayor Nie has gone into the water, can we still stand by and watch?" Follow Mayor Nie, even if you die, you have to block the break today and die again.
At a distance of eight meters, a total of twenty sturdy young men, forming a human wall, had already blocked the front of the breach, and they were all moving towards the breach, step by step.
On both sides, the chalk police and army soldiers were all moved by Nie Zhenbang's noble sentiments, and all of them burst out to their greatest potential. Bags of sandbags were thrown away as if they didn't want money.
At the beginning, the people below the breach immediately shouted: "It's not good, the water impulse is too strong, and it can't be blocked at all." ”
Wu Peng stood on it, carefully calculated the speed and flow of the water, and said in a deep voice: "Six sandbags, bundled together, push down, the speed of the water flow is too great, and it will not make any sense to throw the bags down at all." ”
Soon, under the command of Wu Peng, a company of men split up and stood on the edge of the breach, specializing in the overall fixing of sandbags.
However, at this time, the speed of the water was too great, and after two hours, more than 3,000 sandbags were thrown in, but it did not have much effect, and most of the sandbags were washed away by the sea as soon as they were thrown down.
Under the breach, many of the twenty people who entered the water at the beginning had already changed batches, and under the external attack of this kind of water flow, the physical strength consumed was undoubtedly huge.
At this moment, Rao is extremely strong physique, and he is already slightly tired.
Next to him, Wu Peng said loudly: "Mayor, come up and rest first, if you go on like this, you won't be able to hold on at all." ”
When Nie Zhenbang heard this, he said loudly: "Wu Peng, you son of a, don't care if I have something to do, you still have to think about yourself, how to find a way to block it here." I don't want you to care. Blocking the breach, even if you Wu Peng has made a great contribution, when the time comes, I will personally ask you for credit from the provincial party committee and provincial government. If you can't do it well, don't blame me for punishing you. ”
As the deputy secretary of the Wanghai Municipal Party Committee and mayor, Nie Zhenbang is really not joking, and he still has this ability.
Wu Peng's face changed, and his eyes were also full of respect and admiration for Nie Zhenbang, such a desperate mayor, such a cadre who thinks about the people, this is something he has never seen in his life. This kind of person is worthy of admiration.
According to the current trend of wind and rain, although the typhoon has weakened after making landfall and gradually turned inland, the torrential rain and strong winds will not stop for a while.
Such a simple blockage must not be blocked, and then, Wu Peng stood up and said loudly: "Mayor, now, the only way is to use fishing boats to gamble." Mobilize a fishing boat to come over and block the breach horizontally, reduce the speed of the water flow, and perhaps, there is a chance to block it. ”
It's no wonder that Wu Peng asked Nie Zhenbang for instructions, fishing boats are basically the private property of ordinary people.
Many of the local fishermen in Wanghai take fishing boats as their homes, and they are blocked by fishing boats, and the possibility of scrapping fishing boats is extremely great.
Nie Zhenbang pondered for a while, and then said loudly: "Block! If you don't block here, the loss will be greater. ”
As he spoke, Nie Zhenbang raised his head and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, who is willing to contribute the fishing boat, and afterwards, the municipal party committee and municipal government will be responsible for compensating for the loss of the fishing boat." ”
Nie Zhenbang's prestige at this moment has been raised to a point where it is irreparable. The mayor, who is desperate for the sake of the people, has really seen it, and when the words fell, he immediately got a response from more than a dozen fishermen.
An old fisherman about fifty years old, with dark skin because he had lived at sea for a long time, stood up first and said loudly: "Use mine, use my boat." The government worked hard for us, and Mayor Nie took risks for the sake of our ordinary people, and a fishing boat was nothing. I'm out. ”
The fishing boat was soon at anchor. Dragged over with a huge cable step by step approaching the breach, the bow of the fishing boat slammed into the breach, hundreds of soldiers, dragging to death, finally, the fishing boat was stuck diagonally on the side of the breach, and the current suddenly reduced a large part. The opportunity was rare, Wu Peng waved his hand and said loudly: "Push it all down."
On the seawall, more than a dozen large sandbags were pushed down, one by one sandbags were piled up quickly, and the breach was shrinking step by step, after more than an hour of all-out rescue, finally, the breach was closed, and Nie Zhenbang took 20 strong men to walk on the temporary embankment piled up with sandbags at the breach. Nearby, thousands of people immediately erupted in deafening applause and cheers.
