Chapter 231: Never Back Down!

Seeing that her mayor was also lying on the ground, the middle-aged woman who was crying froze.

After a long time, one of the men stepped forward and pulled the woman on the ground up.

"Let them move......"

The woman said, "Our family's rations are all in it......

"One person has only one life! Of course, life is more important than food! The man said.

The woman still wiped her tears, felt sorry for the grain, and whimpered: "This big flood is coming, and the fields are also flooded, and our family will be pointing to this grain in the second half of the year......"

The man was arrogant, stomped his feet and said, "Only people are still there, with hands and feet, and they are afraid that they will starve to death!?" Get up! Get out of the way! We can't delay the big event on the embankment because of our own little thing, if it really floods these ten miles and eight towns, we won't have the face to live here from now on......"

Several other relatives who came with the man lowered their heads when they saw this.

Wen Zhixing stepped forward and pulled up Mayor Shen on the ground, and comforted the men and women and said: "Fellow, don't worry, the country will not care about the situation here, the water has receded, there will definitely be a rush!" ”

The man did not speak, and pulled the crying woman away.

Standing solemnly in the car, looking at the figures of the couple from a distance, his eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

How to describe these two couples?

They are like this land, this land that has suffered countless floods for thousands of years, no matter how wild the flood is, as long as the flood recedes, it will soon be a scene of vitality again.

This is the Chinese peasantry.

Incomparably tenacious, indomitable, able to endure great hardships, but also able to resist the heavy difficulties of the mountains.

Day after day, year after year, just work so hard.

What could be more worth fighting for them?

No!

Seven trucks loaded with a cart full of grain drove out of the town intersection, sat solemnly on the top of the truck full of grain, and saw the couple standing on the side of the road.

The two of them had tears in their eyes, and they didn't say anything, watching them leave solemnly.

On the embankment, the flood water is still rampage.

The reconnaissance company and the second and third squadrons went up.

The embankment is constantly being raised, and the flood is rushing for time.

However, no matter how huge the flow is, the speed of people is still not as fast as the speed of nature.

No matter how desperately the officers and men tried, the embankment still could not completely block the surging flood.

The commander of the reconnaissance company, Zhang Cannon, commanded on the embankment like an ant in a hot pot, and his throat was hoarse.

In the past few days, Zhang Dacang has not slept well.

As the fist unit of the 1st Division, it is also where it is urgent, and it is desperate to run around on the embankment of Mayor S.

"The truck is back!" Zhao Yifeng first saw the truck slowly approaching on the dirt road in the distance, he happily rushed to the side of the road, and waved desperately at Wen Zhixing, who was in the lead, "Old Wen, this way!" This can be done on the embankment. ”

On the embankment, the three trucks that had been loaded with soil were already in full array, just waiting for an order.

Together with seven trucks loaded with sacks of grain, ten military trucks lined up neatly on the embankment.

"Where did you get the dirt?! That's fast! Zhao Yifeng wiped the sweat on his forehead, and looked at Wen Zhixing's eyes as if he was looking at the rescuers descending from the sky.

Wen Zhixing's mood was indeed extremely heavy.

These seven truckloads of dozens of tons of grain are the rations of the common people, not sand and dirt.

"That's the food ......"

Wen Zhixing didn't speak anymore and walked towards the bottom of the embankment.

"This ......" Zhao Yifeng was stunned, he didn't understand what Wen Zhixing's mouth meant by "grain".

saw Shen Junyun who was following behind Wen Zhixing.

He hurriedly grabbed Shen Junyun.

"Mayor Shen, what kind of food did Lao Wen say?"

Shen Junyun's eyes were red, and he hooked his head not to let people see his expression, and said in a low voice: "It's food." ”

After saying that, he also left.

Zhao Yifeng stood in place, scratching his head, puzzled.

"Let's go!"

Wen Zhixing gave the order to the first truck.

It was the sergeant driver who took the lead.

Among these drivers, he has the oldest qualifications and the longest military experience, and many of them are apprentices brought out by his training team.

Gently opened the door, then put the gear, as before, he stepped on the clutch, stretched out half of the cab, and shouted at the truck behind him: "Wait a while, my car will go down, you will follow immediately, don't stop!" ”

"No problem, old squad leader!" The driver in the back responded.

The sergeant sat back in his seat, took a deep breath, then released the clutch and stepped on the accelerator.

The car roared and slammed out.

Under the gaze of everyone under the embankment, the convoy began a suicidal charge.

One!

Two cars!

Three!

Four!

A car rushed into the breach and fell into the water.

The people around them all felt pain when they looked at it, and those were all brand-new military cards, which were filled into the water like this, as if they didn't want money.

However, no matter how much money is lost, it is still worth it than drowning.

Human life is priceless!

One of the most important of the army's responsibilities is to protect the lives of the people.

The drivers who jumped out of the car were covered in mud, and before they could get up, they immediately turned their heads in the direction of the breach.

They all hope that their suicidal landfill will do the trick, and they don't want their hard work and their beloved car to go to waste.

Ten cars quickly fell into the water.

The water seemed to be a little smaller, but it was still turbulent.

Wen Zhixing's face darkened.

The situation here is several times worse than yesterday's own rescue of the embankment.

The 273rd regiment brought more than a dozen large cages, went to the granary, packed bags of grain into large iron cages, and pushed them down at the breach.

The water still doesn't stop.

Deputy Head Huang's heart is cool and cool.

These large iron cages are a new type of landfill material proposed by the general experts of the defense department, which was made by merchants in Jingzhou overnight, and is used to fill stones and sandbags, and pushing the breach is the most ideal method of blocking.

Now that even these big iron cages are not working, then the problem here is much more serious.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the embankment.

At the breach, the water swept away another section of the embankment......

"Oh no......" Deputy Head Huang felt his cold hairs stand upside down.

If this state of affairs continues, soon the entire embankment will collapse in a chain, and by that time, not to mention more than 2,000 people, every division will die.

"Xiao He!"

He called the correspondent.

"Send me an urgent request for help to the division headquarters immediately, there is a huge danger in the section of the Minle embankment, the breach is up to 30 meters, the situation is difficult to control, and I ask for reinforcements from the siege troops! Be quick! ”

His eyes were red.

In this emergency situation, he cannot afford not to be in a hurry.

Even if he is a regimental-level senior officer, Huang Shaotao can't calm down at this moment.

Once the embankment collapses, you will be a sinner for the ages!

Suddenly, he turned and ran to the soil collection point.

There are convoys of vehicles that are already unloading the earth.

"Don't unload the soil! Drive directly to the embankment and fill it into the breach! ”

As Huang Shaotao, who has the highest military rank and the highest position on the scene, the order he issued is a military order.

Military orders are like a mountain.

The cars of the People's Liberation Army drove up the embankment one by one.

As long as there is one, get on one.

Blocking the breach of the levee is a top priority, and anything else can be put aside!

The embankment can't be controlled, and the people present are all dead ends!

"The people's rescue team will withdraw first!" He gave a second order.

Considering that the embankment could collapse on a large scale at any time, Huang Shaotao had to make a retreat.

However, when he turned around, he found that no one had left the disaster relief team organized by the local government and ordinary people.

"Mayor Shen, don't you understand what I said?" He was furious and yelled, "I'll tell you to go!" This is the business of our soldiers, you go first! ”

It seemed that Shen Junyun, who was sven, was standing in place, and after a long time, he suddenly shook his head.

"Commander, we're not leaving. This is our home...... I know that the People's Liberation Army is working hard for us, and we are not a bad breed, we can't let the troops fight for our own homes, and we can run far away......"

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Huang Shaotao.

Huang Shaotao was stunned by the mayor in front of him, and he saw an unchangeable persistence in the other party's eyes.

"Okay......" Huang Shaotao chose to back down, "but promise me, if the embankment really collapses, before it's too late, let the villagers retreat first, of course, if you are a member of the Communist Party, you must insist on staying, I have no objection to ......"

This is the only thing Huang Shaotao can do.

He understands that now, it is not only the troops who are tough on the embankment, not only soldiers in military uniforms like themselves, but also those ordinary people who guard their hometowns, who also choose to work hard.

Trucks filled with sand and rushed to the breach.

It's like a tragic symphony, and everyone who witnesses this scene has a sense of grandeur in their hearts.

Everyone, not even a step back.

If you are fighting, then you will fight to the death!

Come on! Damn the flood!

Everyone roared with the highest decibel in their hearts!
