Chapter 230: No Soil!
This is a section of the embankment, but there is a huge breach not far away, and water is pouring into the embankment with a bang.
A hundred meters away from the embankment, there was a sub-embankment, but the water had already overflowed to the top of the sub-embankment, crossed the defense, and flowed into the flat ground.
"Teach the brigade, come with me!" Wen Zhixing ran at the front, and quickly ran to the side of Zidi with more than 400 good soldiers.
"Lao Zhao! What are you doing? Didn't hold it?! ”
Wen Zhixing saw Zhao Yifeng, the communications battalion commander trotting over, and couldn't help but start complaining: "You still got such a big mouthful!?" ”
Zhao Yifeng was already angry, and when he saw Wen Zhixing burying himself like this, he immediately shouted: "In the past two days, our communication battalion has built a four-meter-high embankment, and also strengthened the embankment, increased the height by two meters, and thickened it by two meters, but I didn't expect that the patrol team found seven leaks this morning, and there was a pipe gushing after a while, and it didn't take long for my people to go up, and the embankment broke!" I don't know what this broken embankment is made of! ”
Wen Zhixing waved his hand and said: "I will send two squadrons to help you raise the embankment, and one squadron will go up to the breach to fill sandbags, but your breach is estimated to be more than 20 meters, and it is not possible to fill sandbags, do you have a big iron cage?" ”
"What big iron cage?"
"It is the plan given by several experts of the General Defense Department, using a large iron cage, filled with stones and sandbags, one weighs five tons, so that it can be effectively thrown down!"
Zhao Yifeng shook his head and said, "No!" We don't have that stuff here. ”
Wen Zhixing turned back to Zhou Huping and said: "Zhou Huping, you take the first and second squadrons to raise the embankment, and then let the driver drive all the cars to the filling point, and let the third squadron pile up sandbags, the old way, fill them with cars." ”
He turned back to Zhao Yifeng and said, "You hurry up and contact the division headquarters and ask them to send an additional 273 regiment over, even if we teach the brigade and your communication battalion here, we can't handle it!" ”
Zhao Yifeng said: "The reconnaissance company is also rushing to this side, isn't it enough?" ”
"Enough fart!" Wen Zhixing didn't give Zhao Yifeng face at all, "Yesterday, more than 2,000 people were used for a 20-meter breach on our side alone, and it took most of the day to fill it for most of the day, and more than a dozen cars were thrown in, and I think it is even more serious here than yesterday!" Fast! No matter how fast it is, the rupture will continue to grow! When the time comes, you will go to the teacher with your head raised! ”
"Good! I'll do it right away! ”
"Lao Zhao wait!"
Zhao Yifeng just wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wen Zhixing.
"You tell the people of the 273rd Regiment to bring more iron cages here, they need that thing here."
All forces were soon deployed.
After listening to Wen Zhixing's order, the sergeant driver who was driving the car jumped into his new car, touched the steering wheel, and sighed a few times.
This car was just transferred to him, and it hasn't been heated yet, so it's going to sink again.
Gritting his teeth, he put in gear, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car to the soil extraction point.
The soil collection point was originally a small hill bag more than 200 meters away from the sub-embankment, and it was also the only hill bag in this section, but after two days, this soil slope more than 20 meters high was actually flattened!
At present, the embankment of the folk music section is loaded with soil from more than ten kilometers away by local or military vehicles, and unloaded here.
A car, full.
Two cars, full.
Three cars, full.
To the fourth car.
There is no soil......
"Captain! No more soil! Zhou Huping had to report the latest problem to Wen Zhixing.
"What? Out of soil? Wen Zhixing's scalp was numb.
Without soil, it is like a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice.
If you break it, you can fill it with a car, you can fill it with a stone, you can also drive a pile, and you can organize a death squad to go up to the wall to block it!
But there is no soil and no stones, how to fill this gap!?
"What about the villages around here!? What ridges and roads, as long as it's the earth, the fuck can there be no soil!? ”
Zhou Huping said: "The surrounding area is more than 10 kilometers full of fertile fields and fish ponds, which have long been soaked in water more than a meter deep, and the mud in those fields cannot be used, and it is not easy to dig ......."
Wen Zhixing turned around and asked Zhao Yifeng: "What about the vehicle responsible for transporting soil here?" ”
"Last night, I carried the fourth flood peak here, so I didn't need to use soil for the time being, and I left a few cars here for backup, but I didn't expect ......" Zhao Yifeng had cold sweat on his forehead and said: "I have called the transport team to transport soil here, and I will arrive ...... soon."
"It's too late." Wen Zhixing looked in the direction of Zidi, where it was close to stopping.
"Even if the convoy brings the soil over now, it will not be enough, the embankment will be heightened, and the soil will be needed, and these trucks we bring will have to be filled with soil and stones, and they will only work when they rush down the break......
"What can I do?" Zhao Yifeng's face turned pale.
The commander of each unit has made a military order, if it can't be kept here......
Zhao Yifeng couldn't imagine it.
It doesn't matter if it is dealt with by the chief, but once the flood is uncontrollable, it will inundate hundreds of square kilometers of people's homes in the surrounding area.
This sin is great.
"How's it going?"
When several people were so worried that they wanted to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river, Zhang Zhiyuan, the commander of the reconnaissance company, appeared.
"It's not good." Wen Zhixing told Zhang Dacang about the most serious problem - no soil.
When Zhang Dacang heard this, he was also dumbfounded.
"What if there is no soil!?" His temper was already very arrogant, and he didn't care about the rank at this time, and scolded: "Lao Zhao, what are you doing as a battalion commander!" You're not ready for the dirt!? ”
Zhao Yifeng's mood was already upset, and he was counted down by Zhang Cannon, and he immediately went crazy.
"I'm not fucking like that! Who knows......"
"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, don't make any noise." A local cadre next to him suddenly interjected, interrupting the conversation of several people.
"I think there's a way."
Wen Zhixing looked at Zhao Yifeng and asked, "Who is this?" ”
"This is Comrade Shen Junyun, the mayor of Minle Town." Zhao Yifeng said.
Wen Zhixing asked: "Mayor Shen, I want to ask, you said there is a way, what way?" ”
Shen Junyun wanted to speak and stopped, his brows furrowed, and his face hesitated.
"When is it, and you still don't say if there's a way?" Wen Zhixing's soldier's temper came up, and he didn't care what the mayor was or not, and said angrily: "If you delay the time to rescue the town, Mayor Shen, you will be responsible for the people in this radius of hundreds of miles!" Are you responsible? ”
"Okay...... Shen Junyun's eyebrows jumped a few times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You send a car and follow me." ”
"How many are sent?"
"If you can hold things, send them all......"
More than ten seconds later, Zhou Huping ran to the side of the embankment and shouted, "The third squadron will follow me immediately!" ”
solemnly threw down a bag of soil and followed his comrades to run behind Zhou Huping.
When I got to the car, I got into the car.
Only then did Zheng Zheng ask: "Where is this going?" ”
"Dig the soil." Lao Qi said: "You didn't see it? There is no soil at the place where the soil is taken. ”
The car swayed on the dirt road and sped at the fastest speed, and the soldiers of Zhuang Yan and the third squadron were almost turned upside down.
Less than fifteen minutes later, the car pulled into a small town.
The town was empty, and no pedestrians were in sight.
Soon, the convoy began to go uphill and stopped in front of a warehouse.
Mayor Shen jumped out of the car, walked to the door, raised his hand, and began to slam the door.
Zhuang Zheng followed the team out of the car and noticed the words "granary heavy land" and "no fireworks" written on the big blue painted iron door.
"Granary?" He was a little dazed.
Isn't this going to get dirt?
How did you come to the granary?
The door quickly opened, and inside was a young man.
Mayor Shen spoke to the young man, who quickly pulled the door open.
Shen Junyun turned to Wen Zhixing and said: "This is the granary of our town, and the grain is usually here, so there is some grain, and this flood is said to be coming, the terrain here is high, and the big guy has piled up all the grain at home here......"
He lowered his head, sighed, and said, "Now that it's urgent, let's use the grain here......"
Wen Zhixing was stunned.
Only then did he understand why Shen Junyun hesitated.
The grain in the granary is the grain stored by the farmers in the villages below the town.
Now, Shen Junyun is requisitioned.
However, the mayor of the town was ashamed of the peasants who kept their grain here.
"Mayor Shen, don't worry, I will write a certificate for you afterwards and submit it to your superiors, explaining that this time it is because of the emergency requisition of the granary to store grain, and you will be fine."
Shen Junyun smiled bitterly: "It's all at this time, do I still care about this?" Take as much as you can, and the grain in it will be in sacks and bags for ......."
With that, the man stepped aside and quietly wiped away his tears.
Wen Zhixing's heart was sour, but he was a soldier, so he was even more hesitant at this time.
The front is desperate, and there is no soil, and the soil that the convoy has transported to this side is not enough.
That's all there is to it.
"Load! Fill it all up, and then someone will put it on the roof of the car for me and go back! ”
There were ten trucks in the teaching brigade, three of which were loaded with earth by the river, and now there are seven.
The doors of the granaries were opened, and the trucks reversed back......
The soldiers didn't care so much and began to load the cart with food as fast as they could.
There are fifty catties, and there are 100 catties, and there are 200 catties in a bag......
Each bag of grain is so heavy on the shoulders, heavier than the soil, heavier than stones......
It was all the blood and sweat of the nearby villagers for a year, and the subsistence grain harvested from the field was all the food of the impact, and it was the food for life!
Who knows that Chinese food is hard work!
And all this grain will be filled into the flood and fed to the breach......
How can it not be sad?
These days, the impact on the solemn soul is simply more than the eighteen years of life before.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door.
Wen Zhixing looked back and saw that it was several villagers, holding flat poles in their hands and some holding hoes, rushing into the granary.
"Who dares to touch our grain! I'll fight with him! ”
"That's it! This is our ration for the second half of the year! ”
"No one can move!"
A woman rushed under the wheels of the military vehicle and lay down there, crying profusely.
Wen Zhixing stepped forward to persuade him, saying that the embankment was about to collapse, saying that the situation ahead was urgent, and he wanted these grains to save his life.
But no one listened.
Someone knelt down, pulled Wen Zhixing's pants, and cried loudly, crying while saying: "We don't oppose your PLA, you are good people, but you take our food, you are asking for our lives......
Wen Zhixing, as a major officer, was also in a hurry in the face of these crying and grabbing the ground.
Soldiers are not afraid of enemies, wars, and dangers, but when faced with vulnerable people, there is nothing they can do.
"What are you arguing about! What to cry about! ”
Shen Junyun, the mayor of the town, who had been silent, broke out.
"Take this grain to block the embankment! Don't you know that there is a break ahead!? If it is not blocked, it will all be flooded, and what food will be left at that time!? Say it, do you want to save food or save your life! Is it fate, or is it the food that matters! You think this little bit of food is important, well, I, the mayor of the town, will die here with you! Anyway, the embankment bursts and floods, and I won't live anymore! ”
After saying that, the mayor of the town sat like a villager, beside the father and daughter lying on the wheels.
"I'll die with you!"
He was completely angry and devastated.
He couldn't even help it, and he didn't have time to explain the big things to the villagers.
He also knew that the grain belonged to the villagers and had to be approved by them.
However, there was no time.
Every second counts on the other side of the embankment, and a fire breaks out in the backyard here.
This mayor, it's not right!
Dead counts!
