"It's not as bad as using aircraft artillery, I only need two ships." Li Wen said.

"Boat?" Deputy Division Commander Cai frowned.

Levine said, "That's right, I want two ships." ”

"How big a boat do you want?"

"Thirty meters or more is fine."

The local government leaders at the scene made a decision on the spot and transferred the ship!

Two local barges were quickly found and belonged to the two brothers.

When the two ship bosses heard that they were going to use their own boats to block the breach, no one raised any objections.

For the two boat bosses who have been eating on the Yangtze River all year round, the boat is a tool to make a living, and it is their own half life.

The two of them only hesitated for a moment, then looked at each other.

When the big brother slammed his fist on the dashboard.

"No problem!"

Just three words.

is crisp and neat, and it has a posture of swallowing mountains and rivers.

The two barges soon sailed to the river near the breach.

None of the people present had ever experienced such a major breach danger.

In the end, whether these two big barges can choke the throat of the Hong Demon, among the people present, perhaps only Li Wen, a water conservancy expert, has his own calculations in his heart, while the others have their hearts raised to their throats.

The difficulty of blocking this breach exceeded everyone's expectations.

Nearly 8,000 people fought here for two days, but they didn't stop it.

Hundreds of tons of grain and hundreds of cars were consumed, and they were not blocked.

The two units with the strongest combat effectiveness of the 1st Division fought hard and did not block it.

Can it be made with just two ships?

Not only the people present were skeptical, but even the solemn felt skeptical.

The ship is coming, whether it sinks or not, it has to be finalized by Deputy Division Commander Cai.

Li Wen said: "Deputy Division Commander Cai, look ......"

Deputy Division Commander Cai didn't blink his eyelids, and the soldiers who had fought in the war didn't have any rory's rambling, and waved his hand directly: "Expert Li, what should you do, you can do it, how you want to do it, how our troops will cooperate with you!" It's done, I'll give you credit; Defeated, the responsibility is mine! ”

Li Wen, who was born as an intellectual, his eyes lit up.

It is said that Xiucai met soldiers, and it is unreasonable.

But at this moment, the soldier in front of him did not make any restrictions on himself, but gave himself a reassurance pill first.

Li Wen said: "Okay, I will personally go on the ship and command." ”

Deputy Division Commander Cai was taken aback and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"I'm going to get on board and take command myself."

"No way!" Deputy Division Commander Cai did not agree this time, "The water flow at the breach is very large, and there are even a lot of whirlpools, if you go, if you are swept into the water by the company, I can't afford to be responsible!" ”

Levine smiled.

He was not responsible until this deputy division commander.

Just now, I even dared to bear the responsibility of breaking here, let alone a dead person?

"Deputy Division Commander Cai, it's not that I want to be a hero, it is precisely because the water at the breach is fast, there are many undercurrents, and there are many whirlpools, so I need to personally command. Otherwise, when the ship arrives at the breach, if the angle is not right, then it will not be able to jam the breach, and it will not play the greatest role. ”

Deputy Division Commander Cai still shook his head: "No, you are an expert in the Three Gorges and a talent of the Ministry of Water Resources, I can't let you take risks, if you want to go, we have soldiers here to replace you." ”

Li Wen smiled bitterly: "Deputy Division Commander Cai, I am not a soldier, I am not as heroic as you, if I can't go up, I won't force it, but the stakes are high, success or failure is in this move, a ship is not so easy to find, this is not a car, you have a car, but the barge here is difficult for you to find other alternatives for a while, we can't afford to make mistakes!" ”

Cai Wenming was silent.

What Levine said was the truth.

As a high-ranking military officer, of course, you can't even hear the truth and falsehood.

There are two ships, and whether they can be blocked or not depends on them.

Once you make a mistake, it is impossible to find the ship again in a short time.

No one dares to guarantee that the levee will not immediately collapse on a large scale in the next moment.

"Okay! But you promised me that I would send a squad to protect you, and you couldn't refuse. Cai Wenming felt that this was the only thing he could do.

"From the guard company, pick me a squad that is proficient in water!"

Soon, tall and handsome soldiers of the guard company stood in front of them in line wearing life jackets.

Deputy Division Commander Cai ...... "Li Wen doesn't want so many people to protect himself, and he is at a loss as an intellectual because of his low-key introversion.

"How to plug the gap, I listen to you, you say you want to get on the boat, I will listen to you, but if you don't send someone, you have to listen to me!" After Cai Wenming finished speaking, he turned to the local leader on the side: "Do you agree or disagree?" ”

"Of course I agree! Someone must be sent to protect the specialists! ”

"Good! That's it! Cai Wenming waved his hand, and Li Wen was helplessly surrounded by a squad of guard soldiers and walked towards the barge.

The barge was docked on the shore upstream, and in just 40 minutes, it had been filled with sandbags and excavators by the officers and men of the troops.

On the barge, the captain's palms were full of sweat.

Unlike on normal days, boats sail on the river, this time heading towards a huge levee breach.

When billions of cubic meters of water gush out from there, the water flow creates a great suction force, creating countless undercurrents and whirlpools around it.

Even though a barge filled with sand weighs 100 tons, it is still a dead leaf in the face of strong currents.

Approaching the breach, the ship began to lose control.

The boat boss grabbed the steering wheel, increased the throttle and fought against the current, and sweat broke out on his red and black face.

"Be careful!" He roared and turned the boat across the water.

Li Wen walked to the side of the boat, looked down at the current of the river, and directed the boat to set up.

"To the right—"

"Lean on—"

"Good! Keep it like that, let the water take us there! ”

A wave swooped down on the boat and pushed Levine straight to the deck.

The soldiers of the guard company rushed over, hugged Li Wen tightly, and dragged him up from the ground.

"Danger! Go back to the cockpit! ”

"Nope! I'm going to be here, the location is important, otherwise the ship will be blind! ”

The intellectual Li Wen didn't know where the courage came from, and at this moment, he was no less than those soldiers.

The barge is getting closer and closer to the breach.

"Withdraw!" The boat boss shouted, "You guys go first!" ”

Li Wen shook his head: "It's still a little bit ......"

The boat boss shouted, "No need, I can control it!" ”

The guards couldn't help but say, picked up Li Wen and ran, reached the boat, threw him into the assault boat, and then drove the boat away.

Several of the fighters in charge of scuttling the barge, together with the captain of the boat, chiseled through the bilge and then retreated to another assault boat.

Cai Wenming felt that his lips were a little dry.

Standing on the embankment, his gaze was not taken off the two barges connected by wire cables.

It was only when he saw all the soldiers and the captain of the ship evacuate in the assault boat that he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The two civilian barges were quickly sucked in by the whirlpool at the breach and slowly pushed towards the breach.

Soon, the hundred-ton barge filled with sand slowly sank and was sucked into the breach.

Everyone's breathing stopped.

Everyone is waiting for the final effect to appear.

"Blocked!"

Zhou Huping, who was standing on the side of the breach, shouted loudly.

Cai Wenming spat out a mouthful of stasis that had been pinned to his chest for a long time, and his whole body became extremely relaxed.

"Get out of the cage! Fill the gap! ”

The excavators of the sapper battalion roared and spewed black smoke.

Large iron cages weighing 10 tons and filled with stones and sandbags were propelled into the water.

All the rescuers moved again, running frantically, throwing sandbags at the breach.

Blocked by the barge, the current of the breach was instantly reduced.

Soon, new embankments emerged from the water again.

On the embankment, cheers thundered.

The entire rescue operation lasted 80 hours before it was over.

In these 80 hours, every second of the time there was something touching and tearful.

In the rescue team under the embankment, whether it is the local people or the soldiers like solemnity, there is no one who is not desperate.

More than 20 women from nearby villages spontaneously organized to join the rescue team, and when there were not enough shovels, they dug with their hands and loaded sandbags with their hands, and their hands were worn out, their nails were worn off, and the stones and sand wore out the skin on their palms, which were stained with blood.

A veteran who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, his son was working outside, and he took his three daughters-in-law and five grandchildren to participate in the emergency battle, others saw him as too old and were afraid that he would be in danger, but he said that my old life had died on the battlefield several times, and I was not afraid!

There was also a soldier who was interspersed with the hero battalion, who carried two sandbags and fell down on the muddy embankment, his head and face were covered with mud, and he didn't wait for anyone to help him, he immediately got up, threw the sandbags on his shoulders, and roared in his mouth: "Rush! "The people began to charge in the direction of the embankment again......

Reconnaissance company commander Zhang Cannon, don't look at the bullish mouth cannons flying all over the sky on weekdays, tie a backpack belt at the critical moment and be the first to jump into the water to find a suitable piling point. Suddenly, a wave rolled in, and Zhang Dacang did not surface.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance company panicked. The squad leader Li Erhu led people in, dragged the backpack strap and pulled Zhang Cannon up from the water.

Zhang Dacang lay on the embankment, his face pale and not panting, and he frightened the soldiers of the entire reconnaissance company enough, and one by one rushed up and hugged his company commander and shook it violently.

"Company commander, you can't die! You have an old mother, and you haven't married a wife yet, and the big girl's hand hasn't touched it, so it's not worth dying like this! ”

Zhang Cannon suddenly came to life, spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, got up with a bone, and yelled at a group of grieving soldiers: "Damn, what kind of scouts do you look like!" Afraid of what!? I met Lord Yama just now, and he said that his book doesn't have my name on it, so let me go back to fight the flood! ”

The death squad of the teaching brigade is full of coaching squad leaders and district captains, as well as elite veterans in the second year. Dozens of people, dozens of hammers, where there is a collapse, jump into the water with a backpack strap to hit iron stakes.

Even those medical staff did not close their eyes for several nights. Half of the 80 hours the sun was blazing, in order to increase the salt in the soldiers' bodies, they put salt in the mineral water, ran after the soldiers with the mineral water all over the embankment, and when they saw one, they grabbed one and fed a few mouthfuls of water into their mouths......

Instructor Lao Wang is the one with the worst physical fitness in the entire team. Standing beside the fighters in the water against a red flag, he stood from night until dawn, and then took the darkness in front of him, and the person was planted in the water, and when he dragged it up, his body was stiff, and it took a while to rescue him......

Deputy Division Commander Cai stood outside the temporary command post, watched all this, and said with emotion: "Our army has a successor!" There is a successor! ”

This veteran who participated in the war, after saying this, turned his face away, brushed his hand on the corner of his eye a few times and didn't dare to turn back to let people see his face.

If you are a bystander, when you stand on the embankment of 98 rescue, your soul will be completely baptized once.

When you come down from the embankment, you will feel that there are too many precious things in this world that are worth protecting, worth promoting, and worth guarding for a lifetime.
