Chapter 22: Invincible
The mountains in the distance were hidden under the gloomy sky, the dark clouds swept for thousands of miles, changing all kinds of hideous appearances, the endless rain lines quickly blurred the boundary between heaven and earth in a few seconds, and the wind through the canyon blew out a biting cold like a flying blade.
But everyone on the dam seemed to have forgotten the cold and tiredness, and under the command and dispatch of Wen Huaiming, they ran back and forth in an orderly manner despite being busy and green. In just one hour, he solved one technical problem after another with amazing efficiency, adding a lot of confidence to everyone.
Finally this moment has come
At 8:27 a.m., the sound of rumbling water came from the upper reaches of the Qingliu River, and in an instant, the churning river appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Looking down from the sky, the entire dam looked like a fine cloth belt tied around its waist, and the giant of more than ten meters was like an ancient beast with a bloody mouth open, and its sharp fangs were enough to tear the entire dam to shreds in a few seconds.
Wen Huaiming stood at the end of the dam, feeling the power of nature, but his heart was rarely calm. Wen Liang stood behind him at some point, stared at the raging waves, and chuckled: "The time has come to witness the miracle"
In this era, no one knows the point of complaining about this sentence, but Wen Huaiming turned his head and showed a gentle smile at Wen Yu.
At this moment, all the hard work and struggles can only be turned into one sentence:
Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven
bang
A thunderclap sounded, and the giant swirled in the air, hitting the dam again without reservation.
bang
The flood hit the cofferdam with the force of ten thousand pounds, and the powerful water thrust instantly penetrated the stone dam, and many people who were shocked lost their balance and fell down crackling. Wen Huaiming's body was crooked, and he was held by Wen Liang with one hand, but his ears were buzzing with this shock, as if all the qiē around him were leaving quickly, no people, no things, no drums, no shouts, only bursts of tingling pain caused by the raindrops on his face and a paleness of gloomy eyes.
The power of heaven and earth, as far as Si
The makeshift earthen bag cofferdam failed to withstand the powerful impact, and slowly slid down, and finally all submerged in water. The water level also began to rise with the collapse of the cofferdam, once it overflowed the top of the dam, the consequences were unimaginable, Wen Huaiming reacted very quickly, pushed Wen Liang away, and said: "Go to Chen Fei to ask about the loss, and the others will come with me." ”
Thirty members of the emergency rescue team immediately followed him straight to the wave wall, where the second line of defense of the dam was
Yang Dingjun stood relatively far forward, was swept to the ground by the stirred water, got up with a bone, and scolded Li Qiang, who was still in a daze: "Why are you stunned, fifty meters in front of the right...... Hurry, there is a pipe surge, hurry up and take people up"
Li Qiang recovered from his shock, turned his head and saw that the inside of the embankment, fifty meters away from him, began to spray water columns, his feet stomped in the muddy water, and shouted: "The second team carries the bag and follows me"
At the same time, Yang Dingjun led people to run to the sudden danger on the other side, and for a while, the embankment was crowded, the drums and trumpets sounded, and everyone was soaked and heavily clothed, and they threw themselves into the crucial battle against the flood demons without hesitation. Some people shouted desperately, some people clenched their teeth, some people trembled, but they were indomitable under the command, and some people were just young, but they used their flesh and blood to resist the torrent
There are ordinary people, soldiers, officials, and different identities, but they are all willing to go to danger together, fear, life and death, identity, fame and fortune, all left behind at this moment, and the only thing that supports them is the simple but extremely noble belief:
People are on the embankment, protect my homeland
Although the damage to each section of the dam was quickly summarized to Chen Fei, although after strict preparation, after all, the time was too tight, and the flood peak was too strong this time, just this impact, from the bottom of the dam to the top of the dam, there was a dangerous situation.
Chen Fei's face also changed a little, and he handed over a few locations that were not too strict to Meng Hui to deal with, and ran to find Wen Huaiming by himself. Wen Huaiming is directing the personnel to add sandbags along the wave-proof wall, and across the wall from him is the vast and boundless, crazy raging surging river, the fierce and peerless water waves repeatedly hit the rock mass, the deafening roar is enough to drive normal people crazy, the splash of water over the dirt bag rushed to the face, the pain almost can't open the eyes.
Seeing Chen Fei coming, Wen Huaiming grabbed his arm and shouted with all his strength: "How is the situation?" ”…,
Chen Fei also said loudly: "Several pipe surges and fissures have been newly discovered, but they are all within the range that can be controlled. The problem now is that this time the flood peak is only stronger than expected, and if the dam is soaked in water for a long time, I am afraid that some sections will burst......
Generally, when building a reservoir, the main dam body will be built very strong, and few flood peaks can be crossed at one rush (except for the tofu slag project), and many dam failures are from small to large, slowly infiltrating, and gradually collapsing. Before Chen Fei's words landed, the crowd forty meters away from the left bank suddenly scattered and ran away, and someone shouted: "Oh no, no, the embankment has burst, the embankment has burst......"
Wen Huaiming's body trembled, his eyes revealed unwillingness and despair, manpower, is it really impossible to win the sky? The surrounding crowd all stood on the dam, stupidly watching the muddy river overflow the embankment and cross the reservoir area, like a tiger breaking free from the cage, rushing downstream with lightning speed.
I don't know who shouted first: "Run, run" There began to be a commotion in the crowd, most of the people were frightened, their faces were like ashes, seeing that everyone's courage was about to disperse, there was about to appear an uncontrollable chaotic scene, a Dongfeng truck loaded with stones suddenly rushed from the shore, and drove straight to the breach. When he arrived, the driver's door opened, and a man jumped out of the car, and after several rolls on the muddy ground before he could stop, the truck rushed to the edge of the broken dam, and smashed straight down.
thump
Trucks weighing dozens of tons made a splash of water several feet high, and the speed of the water was slow. The price of a truck in 95 was already astronomical for many villagers, and it was sent into the water without hesitation. Everyone was shocked by this scene and held their breath, the person who jumped out of the car got up, the whole person was like a mud doll, he couldn't even see his face, he snatched the loudspeaker from the hand of a person next to him, and shouted at Wen Huaiming and Chen Fei: "Twenty meters, only twenty meters, quickly organize blocking"
Although the breach was not far from Wen Huaiming, the rain was too strong to obscure the view, and it was impossible to estimate the width of the breach.
Chen Fei was overjoyed and said: "Twenty meters, Secretary General Wen, twenty meters is still saved, fast."
Wen Huaiming heard the voice of Wen Xiang on the other side, woke up like a dream, waved his big hand, and hurriedly ran towards the breach, shouting hoarsely as he ran: "Everyone follows, people are on the embankment, I, Wen Huaiming, am the first not to retreat."
Everyone glanced at each other, and at the critical time, the army played an exemplary role, and Zhao Jianchi quickly pulled over with the soldiers. Someone threw the rain hat to the ground, shouted "The official is not afraid of death, and the labor and management are afraid of begging, so he did it", carried two bags of sand and gravel and followed, the masses had a herd mentality, and they were aroused by the scene of the man driving to the disaster just now
People are in the embankment, and they regard death as home
In view of the lack of materials, the sandbags loaded with large stones are specially refined to be thrown to the surface of the water, and the gravel and sand are thrown to the back surface, and at the same time the flood channel is released for flood distribution, and strive to block the breach in the shortest possible time.
The rescue work was immediately launched, but it was disappointing that due to the rapid speed of the water and the lack of large machinery and equipment, the thrown soil and rocks were washed away in an instant, and it was impossible to form a joint force in a short time. Wen Xiang, who had just staged a crazy truck, found Wen Huaiming again and offered to use all the trucks he brought to fill the breach, Chen Fei didn't know his identity, but he was impressed by this young entrepreneur who was dedicated to fighting the flood in order to rescue the flood.
Wen Huaiming had no choice at this time, so he immediately agreed. With more than a dozen large trucks loaded with earth and rocks poured into the river one after another, and everyone worked together to fill the blockage, after several hours of fighting, the embankment was successfully closed.
When the last side of the earth and rocks fell, almost all the participants jumped up with cheers, two days and two nights of hard work, and finally did not fall short Yang Dingjun, Li Qiang and other cadres of the county and township governments surrounded Wen Huaiming, one by one excited, rushed up to hug and congratulate. After Tang Ye and the others finished hugging, they seemed to have forgotten the reserve of the big reporter, and hugged Wen Huaiming, even though the weather was as cold as ice and the wind and rain were ruthless, but her heartbeat was hotter than ever, and a few wisps of crimson quietly floated on her pale cheeks that were frozen.
Wen Huaiming didn't have any other thoughts, let go of Tang Ye, and said to Yang Dingjun and the others: "This is only the first step of the Long March, and you can't be careless, Dingjun, you go to the western section, Li Qiang, you go to the eastern section, strengthen the patrol ......"
Wen Liang had been standing silently to the side, his head bowed and he didn't know what to think. Wen Huaiming looked at his son, who was almost unadult, and felt both self-blame and pride in his heart, and said, "Wen forgiveness, thanks to your ...... this time"
Yes, if it weren't for the intransigence and decision, the moment of the break, the hearts of the entire embankment would have been crossed, how can we talk about the joy of victory at this moment?
Wen Yuan's eyes inadvertently swept over Tang Ye, grinned, and said, "Father and son soldiers are invincible."
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the most dangerous situation has passed, Wen Liang, who has been following Wen Huaiming's side and fighting at the forefront, is also a little unable to hold on, he injured his leg bone when jumping out of the car, and was soaked in water for too long It seems to be a little inflamed, and his spirit is malaise, and he was helped to a fairly clean room in a daze, curled up on the ground and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, I didn't know what kind of dream I had, but there was a piece of nephrite in my arms, and I rubbed my palm lightly unconsciously, and Wen Liang woke up in shock.
