It was already 5 a.m. when Wu Feng arrived at the No. 1 reservoir, and at this time, the water level had reached the highest level in history, and only 0.8 meters from the top of the dam was left.

Reservoir workers and their families have taken the initiative to bring sacks from the dam and fill them with soil to raise the dam crest.

However, with limited manpower and not many sacks, the crest of the dam cannot increase as fast as the water storage height, so they may not be able to hold out for long.

At this time, the roar of a truck passed through the rain curtain, and people looked towards the sound, and a group of PLA soldiers jumped out of the truck with sacks and shovels in their hands.

"Look, it's the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army is here to support us!" Someone in the desperate crowd shouted, and then a cheer and applause were heard.

"We are saved, we are saved!"

"The People's Liberation Army is coming, and there is no problem that cannot be defeated!"

"Brothers, for the sake of our fathers and fellow villagers, everyone follow the People's Liberation Army and cheer up!"

Director Li, the manager who stayed behind in the reservoir, directly shed two lines of tears, and held Wu Feng's hand excitedly, "Political Commissar Wu, you came too timely, I didn't expect the provincial military region to come so quickly!" ”

"Don't worry, the division commander got the news and immediately convened a meeting to study this rescue activity, and the division commander sent all the soldiers who could be mobilized within his power, and we also brought sacks, straw bags, and shovels. Therefore, you can rest assured that the People's Liberation Army will put the people's lives and property first at any time! Wu Feng shook him back, and at the same time explained the basic situation of the army to him.

"Okay, great, I'll tell you the basics of this reservoir." Director Li led Wu Feng to the side, "This reservoir was built in the 50s, and the spillway is very narrow, so it doesn't play a big role. Therefore, we must now resolutely defend the dam, otherwise six villages downstream will be washed away. But don't worry, the weather forecast says there is no heavy rain, and we are just fully prepared. ”

Wu Feng didn't speak, this Director Li was much more optimistic than Wei Zhenhui.

Wei Zhenhui talked with him for ten minutes before he came, and Zhenhui seemed to be more sure that the water level would definitely cross the top of the dam, so he asked him to make sure to raise the top of the dam by five meters.

Wu Feng looked up at the sky, the rain was pouring down, and he had no intention of stopping.

Compared with Director Li in front of him, Wu Feng decisively chose to believe Wei Zhenhui, who did not understand water conservancy, after all, they had been partners for many years, and Wei Zhenhui had never made a mistake in his analysis of things.

And the person in front of him, Wu Feng is not a profession that he doesn't trust, but he does things completely based on experience, and one day he will suffer.

Even he could see that the rain had no intention of stopping, and this person was still insisting on his own ideas.

"Director Li, for the sake of insurance, how about we build another dam in the midstream? If the dam fails, at least we have one more line of defense! After speaking, he pointed to the soldiers who were running on the top of the dam.

"You see, there are surplus troops here, I will take 500 soldiers, plus the strong labor among the reservoir workers and their families, and immediately rush to the middle reach!"

Director Li was obviously stunned, he had already said that there would not be so much precipitation, and the current preliminary forecast of rainfall was within the acceptable range of the dam, "This ...... Political Commissar Wu, is it a bit of an overkill? ”

"It's best to do more, and I hope that doesn't happen. Director Li, I'm over to you here! Wu Feng did not delay any longer, and led 500 people and reservoir workers to rush to the midstream.

Two kilometers from the dam, there was a half-built embankment, and Wu Feng immediately asked the reservoir staff to stop, "What's the matter with the half-built embankment here?" ”
