If the dam can't be opened, it means that the flood cannot be discharged. The consequence of not being able to discharge the flood is that the flood water cannot be discharged, and a diversion will be formed, flooding a large area upstream.

It's that the upstream has not made much preparations at all, and if the flood discharge is not completed, the villages and counties upstream will be finished. They will not have time to evacuate, and by then they will have suffered countless casualties.

"There was too much pressure and too much weight, which caused the gate to be deformed, and now it can't be opened at all." A flood control commander had an anxious face.

All the work was done, but suddenly there was a problem with the dam. This is something that no one expected, this is to force people to death. If this matter is not resolved, it will not be a matter of dropping the black yarn hat at all, but it will have to go to jail and be sentenced!

It doesn't matter if it's just a sentence and a prison sentence, the key is that you will always have to bear a guilt that can never be erased. How many people will die? I don't know, no one knows, but it is certain that it will definitely not be less than tens of thousands.

There are more villages and towns upstream than downstream, and the cities upstream are located in low-lying areas. Rivers will divert their course, causing unprecedented mega-flooding.

"So what's there to do now?" A leader shouted urgently: "We must complete the flood discharge, otherwise something will happen!! ”

"How much time is left?" The flood control commander asked.

"Five minutes!"

"How long can the three lines of defense last?" The flood control commander asked Ma Jinglong.

"Twenty minutes at most." Ma Jinglong replied in a deep voice: "Now that the troops have withdrawn, it is impossible to go up and reinforce again." If something happens, all my soldiers will die. ”

The mission has been accomplished, and there is absolutely no problem with the three lines of defense for the last five minutes, but after five minutes it will be difficult to say. This will pull the troops over again, and if there are any accidents, then these thousands...... No, there are thousands of the first line of defense, and there are also thousands of the second line of defense and the third line of defense, adding up to more than 2,000 officers and soldiers.

If there is an accident, the more than 2,000 officers and soldiers will all be finished!

"We have to withstand it for 20 minutes, and we can only blast the dam now. From the time the explosives are planted to the time they are detonated, it takes at least twenty minutes. The flood control commander stared at Ma Jinglong and said, "Now only you can withstand ......"

This is for the troops to die!

Heavy rains have been falling, floodwaters have been rising, and the first line of defense is no longer so solid. Five minutes can definitely be resisted, twenty minutes...... It's simply impossible!

The troops must be able to continue to delay the reinforcement of the defensive line in the event of a possible diversion of the river at any time.

In 20 minutes, the lives of more than 2,000 armed police soldiers were thrown into it to make a bet, and this bet was not small. The muscles on Ma Jinglong's face twitched fiercely, gritting his teeth and making difficult choices.

He is the commander-in-chief in charge of the first line of defense, and if the first line of defense is stable, then there will be no problems with the second and third lines.

The leaders didn't speak, because they didn't have the authority to make such decisions.

Ma Jinglong slowly turned around and slowly walked out of the command post. His body was trembling. Trembling, his face was dark and terrible. It was perhaps the hardest decision he had ever made in his life, but the problem was that it had to be decided.

"Chief of Staff Ma, once the upstream is out of control, it will not be a matter for tens of thousands of people!! The flood control commander shouted loudly.

Indeed, there are not only villages and towns in the upper reaches, but also county seats, as well as cities. Once the flood gets out of control, it is really not a matter for tens of thousands of people, maybe there will be more and more.

Collection !! The horse spirit dragon who walked out of the tent let out a hoarse roar.

The assembly whistle sounded immediately, and thousands of armed police soldiers immediately woke up from their sleep, endured the pain and collapse of their bodies, and gathered the team as fast as possible.

"Hurry, hurry! There are new missions! ”

"Blood, sweat and tears, skin and flesh are not left behind! Obey the party's command, serve the people, and fight bravely and well......"

“……”

The slogan sounded, and more than 1,000 officers and men lined up in a company formation and waited for the order of the chief of staff.

"The defense line still has to hold on for twenty minutes" Ma Jinglong took a deep breath, his eyes swept over the exhausted officers and soldiers, and he clenched his fists tightly and said: "We must hold on for another twenty minutes!" ”

The defense has to hold on for twenty minutes, they have to hold on for twenty minutes. This sentence is simple and simple, but the meaning is very firm. Even if they all die, they have to endure.

The officers looked to the first line of defense, and the trucks that had been blocked there had been tilted and trembling under the repeated impact of the floods. This meant that the gap was already shaky, and it would take at least four minutes for troops to get there. Perhaps just after rushing through the gap, it will be washed away, and then the defense line will collapse and the flood will be raging.

"It's ...... To die? An officer stared at the chief of staff.

The chief of staff did not speak, he walked past the line of troops and began to rush towards the first line of defense. He didn't hesitate, he didn't give an order, he didn't know how to give it.

"Die for me!" The deputy chief of staff shouted with a glare.

The deputy chief of staff followed closely and rushed towards the defensive line.

"Count me in!"

"The chiefs of staff are gone, what are we waiting for here?"

"Third squadron, are you afraid of death?"

"Damn the doll bird is facing the sky, I'm afraid of a hair!"

"Let's go, I'm going to die!"

……

"Seventh Squadron, follow me!"

"Police Squadron, don't fall behind!"

“……”

The roar was in the sky, and the troops rushed back to the river.

Bloody to the sky, horizontal and vertical is death, what is there to be afraid of? It's a big deal to die together, but you can also have a companion.

Seeing this scene, Long Xiaoqi was anxious. He did not run down with the troops, but rushed to the headquarters as fast as he could.

"Blow the dam open with explosives!" Long Xiaoqi grabbed the leader, his eyes were red and said: "Now the first line of defense can't hold up at all, and now letting the troops go down and stabilize it is simply sending them to death." Thousands of people, and so many sixteen or seventeen-year-old children! ”

"It takes at least twenty minutes to plant explosives!" The flood control commander said loudly.

"Fart!" Long Xiaoqi glared at the beads and scolded, "Who is such an idiot? I'll go install it! ”

"Explosives are already being planted." The flood control commander said.

"Then let the troops withdraw for me!!" Long Xiaoqi's face was full of bruises and he said: "Leaders, these are one or two thousand soldiers, you ......"

"But the problem is that we don't have time to delay!"

"We ......"

Long Xiaoqi suddenly let go of the leader and sat heavily on the chair. It's all reached this point, and no one can do anything about it......

Five, ten, fifteen minutes......

"Zizi...... Zizi ...... We need another twenty minutes, hold on a little longer, give us another twenty minutes! There is a problem with the remote control detonation device, it is being investigated, it is being investigated! ”

There is a problem with the detonating device, and the first line of defense is no longer able to withstand it......

The troops cannot be withdrawn, and the flood cannot be discharged. If there is a chance to survive the first twenty minutes, then the next twenty minutes must not survive. All the officers and soldiers had to be swallowed up by the flood that broke the mouth, and they were all killed.

"Let the troops withdraw, and I will personally enter the dam to carry out the blasting."

Long Xiaoqi let out a smooth voice, but this voice was full of orders that could not be disobeyed!

(Two shifts today, slow down, and then continue to four or five shifts a day)
