At one o'clock in the morning in a certain city in the north, the rain was pouring down, and the whole city was shrouded in a dark rain curtain, and from time to time a lightning bolt crossed the sky, like a dragon, with teeth and claws, followed by a deafening roar, and the citizens were immersed in sleep. Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of the heavens and the earth, and people were awakened from their deep sleep, only to hear someone shouting heartbreakingly: "Oh no, there is a flash flood." ”

The torrent quickly rushed through several villages at the foot of the mountain, and where the flood went, the big trees were uprooted, the crops were submerged, the courtyard walls of the villagers were washed down, the villagers who woke up from their sleep were forced to climb the roofs with their families, and the livestock that had not had time to move were soaked in the water, and the flood continued to flood, and the people's lives and property were in great danger......

The danger is the order, the 3235 regiment camp, a burst of rapid emergency assembly whistles sounded, the soldiers quickly dressed and got out of bed, but there was water under their feet, I don't know when, the water has been poured into the house, even the shoes are all floating, everyone is dripping with water to identify and put on shoes, bring disaster relief tools and quickly run out of the house, followed by a chaotic password, the sound of running with water.

After the squads, platoons, companies, battalions, and regiments were assembled step by step, 20 minutes later, all the officers and men of the regiment gathered in the square in front of the headquarters building, and the commander of the third battalion served as the regimental duty officer.

"Take a break, stand upright-" After the third battalion commander finished the whole team, he saluted and reported to the regiment commander: "Comrade regiment commander, the officers and men of the whole regiment have been assembled, please instruct." ”

"Please take a break." The regimental commander returned the order.

"Yes, take a break." The commander of the third battalion gave the order, and a lightning bolt tore through the night sky, and the officers and soldiers were instantly frozen in the rain curtain like a terracotta warrior.

"I'll say a few words." The regiment commander spoke, and the officers and men of the regiment quickly stood upright, and the regiment commander's speech went straight to the point, and directly began the emergency rescue and disaster relief mobilization. "Comrades, just 20 minutes ago, the torrential rain caused flash floods, several towns and villages bordering the mountainous areas in the west were flooded, tens of thousands of people were affected, according to the flood control and rescue plan, our regiment is responsible for evacuating the affected people in Dayu Township. As you can see, our military camp is soaking in water at the moment, and we are also suffering, but the people need us more, they urgently need us to go to the rescue, we are all soldiers, and at a critical time, the soldiers will charge ahead, and the time has come for the party and the people to test us. ”

Suddenly, the motor roared, the automobile company had stopped the liberation on the road, the soldiers quickly flew into the car, and after the appearance was completed, the wheels of the car rolled over the knee-length water, and slowly drove out of the camp. The dazzling headlights pierced the night like a sharp sword, as if stabbing at the crazy dragon, leaving the barracks, the convoy began to speed towards the disaster area.

This catastrophic flood struck this city in the hinterland of Yanzhao with unprecedented destructive power, turning this sleeping city into an ocean in an instant, and several towns and villages bordering the mountainous areas were in a hurry, and the safety of the people's lives and property was seriously threatened. If the affected people are not safely evacuated before the second flash flood arrives, the consequences will be dire. The danger was an order, and a large number of PLA officers and soldiers arrived in the disaster area one after another.

When there were only a few miles left from the destination, the convoy slowly stopped, and it turned out that one of the cars in front of it had stalled, because the water was too deep and flooded the exhaust pipes, and it was impossible to take the car, so the soldiers had to jump out of the car and run to the predetermined location with water.

After the officers and soldiers of the 3235 regiment arrived at the designated position, they began to rescue the affected villagers, in the knee-deep flood, some of the officers and soldiers supported the elderly, some held children, some held women, under their feet was a deep foot and a shallow foot of floodwater, their bodies were mud, their faces could not distinguish whether it was sweat or rain, their heads were pouring heavy rain, they slipped, they quickly got up, they were injured, they were slightly injured and did not go off the line. At this moment, they have only one belief in their hearts: to move the masses out safely and safely as quickly as possible.

The Second Artillery Company was in charge of Liuzhuang, and when the whole company arrived at Liuzhuang, it had become Zeguo, one of the most severely affected villages, and the flood was almost up to the windowsill, and the villagers were squatting on the roofs waiting for rescue. Livestock struggled in the water, there was a chaotic and noisy shouting everywhere, and the houses were crumbling in the water. Without further ado, the officers and men quickly launched a rescue operation. One by one, the villagers were helped off the roof and moved to safety. The villagers were reluctant to take away the valuable things at home as much as possible, carrying large bags and small bags of things one by one, and some old people were reluctant to leave, so the officers and soldiers forcibly carried them away if they could not persuade them. Some adobe-walled houses have already begun to collapse, and if there is a second flash flood, the consequences will be dire. Now it is imperative to move the masses out safely first, and what a touching scene it is for the soldiers to rush against time with a knee-deep flood! The PLA soldiers carried the old man on their backs, held the children, and supported the women, their faces dripping with sweat. Slipped, got up, and continued to walk, injured and slightly injured, unable to get out of the "line of fire", they had only one belief in their hearts: race against time and transfer the masses. At this moment, they have only one belief in their hearts: to move the masses out safely and safely as quickly as possible.

A lightning bolt suddenly tore through the dark night, the sky suddenly revealed a hideous face, like a lion with a bloody mouth, the heavy rain poured down, people's frightened expressions were instantly frozen under the lightning, and then a few "clicks" thunder came, the earth was trembling, the crowd was restless, and the company commander Wang Changsheng roared in a hoarse voice: "Don't panic, don't panic, keep moving forward ......." However, his roar was so pale in the cries of pigs and sheep and the cries of children that the scene was chaotic.

The sky was slightly bright, the noise gradually stopped, and after several hours of "fierce fighting", the villagers were basically safely evacuated. Liuzhuang, near the foot of the mountain, is now almost an empty city, and there are alarms from the upper reaches that all personnel must be evacuated within an hour, and the powerful flash flood and mudslide risk hitting the village again. Sun Jiashu, the fourth squad leader of the 2nd Artillery Company of the 3235th Regiment, was ordered to take several soldiers to carry out the final clearance, and they searched carefully room by room, and no one could be left behind. From time to time there was a "boom" sound around him, that was the sound of the house collapsing, suddenly a lightning bolt crossed the night sky, the house trembled in the "rumbling" thunder, Sun Jiashu quickly came to the door of a low house with a flashlight, he knocked on the door hard, the whole house was moving, this is an old house built in the fifties and sixties, the roof is still covered with grass, most of this kind of houses are lived by the lonely and widowed old people in the village, the foundation has been soaked for a long time, the house has been crumbling, Sun Jiashu does not dare to knock on the door, knock again, the house must collapseThe door was bolted.

Sun Jiashu had no choice but to shout loudly into the house: "Is there anyone in the house?" After shouting a few times in a row, no one in the house answered, it seems that there is really no one in the house, he is about to leave, but he is still a little unwilling in his heart, why is no one the door bolted inside? So he put his ear to the crack in the door and listened carefully, and the scout's alertness made him hear a faint moan in the room, no, there were people inside, but the door was bolted from the inside, how could he get in? He inserted his fingers into the crack of the door, fortunately, the door has been in disrepair for a long time, his fingers can touch the latch along the crack of the door, he vigorously picked the latch with his hand, but the latch did not move, Sun Jiashu was lucky, put his nails deep into the latch, and with a hard flick, the latch began to move, his fingertips came with a tingling pain, I can't care about it so much, now how to save time What to do, the latch is moving little by little, but Sun Jiashu's fingers have been bleeding, after some efforts, the door was finally opened, he rushed in with a flashlightThe scene in front of him made him feel a sense of sadness: the house was full of belongings, and an old lady was sitting on the bed, holding a large wooden box with her arms, and her mouth was still moaning in pain.

"Auntie, go quickly, it's dangerous here." Sun Jiashu stepped to the bedside of the eldest lady and said.

"If you don't go, I won't die." The old lady said weakly.

didn't have time to think about it, Sun Jiashu forcibly picked up the old lady, the old lady didn't do it, she didn't leave, she kept beating Sun Jiashu's back with both hands, and kept shouting: "My life!" My life! You can't keep my son, you might as well let me die here. ”

Where can Sun Jiashu manage this, he quickly carried the old lady out of the house, the deputy squad leader Xiao Guangdong was standing in the yard waiting, seeing Sun Jiashu carrying out an old lady, Xiao Guangdong hurriedly took off the raincoat and wrapped it around the old lady.

"My son is still inside, let me go, my son is still inside." The old lady wailed.

Sun Jiashu knew that the son that the eldest lady said was the box, so he handed the old lady to Xiao Guangdong and said, "Wait a minute." He turned and went into the house again.

Seeing this, Xiao Guangdong shouted: "Don't go to Sun Jiashu, it's dangerous!" But where can he be stopped, Sun Jiashu has disappeared into the house.

Sun Jiashu rushed into the house, he picked up the box, the box was so heavy that ordinary people really couldn't move, I don't know what treasure was in it, it made the old lady so worried, he turned around and just walked two steps, only to hear a "boom", his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.

The soldier Zhang Ershun was stunned by the scene that happened in front of him, the whole house collapsed, and Sun Jiashu was crushed underneath, and it took him a while to react.

"Squad leader-" Zhang Ershun screamed like crazy and pounced on it with his hands, his hands were worn out and he didn't know, the soldiers who rushed to hear the news knew what was going on at a glance, and he desperately picked it up without asking, fortunately, this is a grass-roofed house, after picking up the mud, Sun Jiashu was exposed, he was slimy, I don't know if it was blood or mud, everyone dragged him out, but one of his legs was pressed by a wooden beam, and several soldiers moved the wooden beam away, Sun Jiashu's leg was slowly pulled out, and the soldiers lifted him and left, Xiao Guangdong shouted hoarsely in front of him: "Get out of the way, get out of the way." ”

Sun Jiashu was motionless, his whole body was covered in mud, as if he was a mummy, and he was completely unconscious at all.

On the mountain road not far away, a jeep was driving cautiously, the water flooded most of the wheels, it looked like a motor boat from a distance, and Wang Wenxuan, the commander of the 3235th regiment, sat in the car.

After a while, the correspondent came back and reported: "A soldier has been smashed. ”

"Who?"

"Sun Jiashu of the Second Artillery Company."

"How could it be him?" The regiment commander hurriedly ordered the driver: "Turn around quickly and take him to the hospital by car." ”

The driver immediately turned the head of the car, the regiment commander opened the door, there was water underneath, he didn't care about rolling his trouser legs and jumped out of the car and beckoned them to come over, seeing that the jeep door was open, a squad leader Li Xiwa jumped into the car first, he carried Sun Jiashu's head, Xiao Guangdong also squeezed into the car with his legs, and the other soldiers couldn't see it, so they had to watch the door closed, and the jeep galloped away from the waterway.

Along the way, Li Xiwa put Sun Jiashu's head in his arms, and he kept shaking Sun Jiashu's head and shouting: "Sun Jiashu, wake up." ”

However, Li Xiwa's shouts were of no help to Sun Jiashu, at this time, Sun Jiashu felt that he only had a body left, a kind of ghost-like thing was inseparable from him, a girl in green clothes beckoned to him vigorously, the red ribbon on his chest was so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes, he felt a burst of joy, isn't that a green leaf? Am I coming home? He spread his arms and shouted, "Green leaves, I'm back." ”
