Chapter 413: The Heroes of the Past (Part II)

Hearing this, a young soldier couldn't help but ask, "Company commander, is it really that rainy?" Isn't that an exaggeration? ”

Company Commander Ma didn't think it was wrong, and grinned: "That's what you haven't seen, you probably were still in elementary school at that time, the wind and rain are talking about that kind of weather, the wind whined, like a group of children crying, the crown of the trees was swaying, and the rain of the boss kept falling, like a water curtain that could cover most of people's sight, and when I looked up, I saw that there was a white expanse everywhere......"

The commander of the horse company is a big-headed soldier, he has learned a lot of professional things, his vocabulary and literary literacy are very limited, but the simple way of description makes there is an indescribable sense of picture, combined with the sound of vehicles and the whistling wind outside, as if the rainstorm of the year was brought to the soldiers.

"And then?" Zeng Bo asked, and before he knew it, he was attracted to the story.

"I can't remember the specific process clearly, but I know that the senior county officials of Fuyang County at that time were also out of the way, and tried their best to sort out the messy relationships in the county, and find a way to pull these dogs who are always worried about fighting for power and profit to the front line of flood fighting and disaster relief."

"In order to unite these people for disaster relief, senior county officials offended a large number of people, and they also scolded their mothers in the county party committee building, and I heard that they almost beat people......

"Isn't the county official the number one? Who still dares to listen to his speech? Seeing that the company commander didn't scold him, the little soldier who asked the question earlier had the courage to ask again.

"What do you know, in the early years, the grassroots management was very poor, and many townships and counties were local forces...... It is intricate, and it may not be easy for senior county officials to speak, especially when there is a catastrophe, you listen well and don't interrupt. Company Commander Ma glared at him and continued, "The commander-in-chief of the river embankment was the magistrate of Fuyang County at that time, and he looked like he was in his early thirties. ”

"When we first arrived at the embankment, I saw him at a glance, and I wondered how the leader could have someone to hold an umbrella, but because there were problems with the switchboard and communication equipment, he sent all the people around him, some went to the radio station to issue announcements, some went to organize villagers to save themselves, some went to contact the transportation company to send trucks and mud trucks, and some went to engage in sandbags and earthwork, and of course, there were also contact the county armed police squadron and the military region, at that time the communication was cut off, if they hadn't reported in time, we wouldn't have arrived so quickly."

"And he himself, standing alone, wearing a raincoat, but his face is still covered with water, the trousers of his trousers are rolled, and the rain boots under his feet are the same as ours, all covered with mud, which is completely different from those leaders who only dig a shovel to show off after the disaster."

"Just by looking at it, I knew that this was a brave man, but I still didn't expect him to be so bold...... Originally, in such a dangerous section of the river, the embankment had to be prepared for emergency use of sand and gravel earthwork, but as I just said, in the early years, the grassroots management was not in place, and many farmers and earthwork businesses would secretly drag away the sand and gravel earthwork for emergency use. ”

"When the water rises, the emergency earthwork is not enough, the city's disaster relief troops have not yet arrived, the mudslide in the mountains has washed away the only bridge, and the tractors and trucks transporting stones and sandbags cannot pass, so they have to make a detour, but the situation is urgent, and the embankment will burst before the sandbags are delivered!"

"So he ordered people to break down the door of the store, take away all the tools they need, and leave an IOU from the county government, as for sandbags, hey, he directly took dozens of armed police brothers to break into the grain depot, and used only three trailers to move bags of grain out and drag them to the river embankment for sandbags."

"Dada, even if the river embankment is saved and the grain depot is empty, he still has to take responsibility, but he emptied the grain depot without the slightest hesitation."

"With these grains to strengthen the embankment, we finally bought precious time to keep the flood beast out of the embankment, and on the other side, the county senior officials personally went out to lead the team to clear the roadblocks and show the way for the reinforcements......

"Good!" The little soldier who asked the question twice applauded and cheered for the county magistrate, senior county officials and flood fighting heroes in the story, completely leaving behind the fear in his heart.

"I'm not done yet, so don't interrupt you. In short, the embankment was temporarily saved, we were there to carry grain to strengthen the embankment, and the county magistrate was not idle, he did not show off and had to do it with us, but very cleverly conserved his strength, walked around, shouted and smoked, so that everyone could see that the dignified county magistrate was still on the front line of flood fighting, and no one dared to retreat, on the contrary, the more he worked, the more morale was high,"

"You have never seen that scene, and there is no distinction between the armed police and the common people, and those who have the strength will roll up their trousers and fill the embankment with us, and the cadres will go everywhere to communicate and command by shouting and walkie-talkies, and the masses will wave red flags behind us to cheer us up, that is the first time in my life that I know what it means to 'unite the army and the people'."

"After a few hours, I finally waited for reinforcements, and the convoy carrying masonry and sandbags all drove over, and saw that the embankment could be safely defended, but when the convoy was still a section away from the embankment, a wave of flood peaks rushed over, followed by pipe surges, and the embankment collapsed more than ten meters in the blink of an eye."

"At that time, my heart was about to stop, damn, as soon as the river embankment collapsed, all of us were drowned, not to mention, the flood will sweep the entire Fuyang County, and then it will be...... What do you mean by that word? ”

"Zeguo Qianli?" Zeng Bo said with a whimsical heart.

"Yes!" Company Commander Ma handed Zeng Bo an appreciative look, "It's not as exaggerated as Qianli, but Fuyang County must become Zeguo." ”

Zeng Bo imagined the consequences of the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people and the separation of 100,000 families, and couldn't help but tremble.

"At this moment, the county magistrate jumped up and shouted with a loudspeaker, and he said......"

Company Commander Ma closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, imitating the heroic posture in his memory and shouted: "It's too late to withdraw, since you can't run, then come and fuck me a fucking thief!" It's a big deal that we die, to protect the lives of the villagers, the party members and league members will rush with me first, rush! ”

"After shouting, he threw the horn and really rushed to the river embankment, his secretary and a few cadres were startled, rushed forward to pull him down, but he stopped his hand, and then he simply didn't let go, followed by our platoon of comrades-in-arms and armed police brothers rushed up, everyone joined hands to build a wall, shouting slogans to go into the water, with hot chests to block the flood peak."

"Tsk, the water is turbulent, but my heart is even more turbulent, turning over the river and the sea, the magnificent waves are not enough to describe the surging of becoming a hero."

Speaking of this, the tough guy was a little choked, but the light flashing in his eyes was inspiring.

"With the time we were desperately trying to buy, mud trucks and tractors drove up, a large number of sandbags were filled, and the large rocks from the quarry were put over to strengthen the embankment, and the embankment was finally rescued."

"Hehe, later, reporters from the city and provincial TV stations came, and the county officials were interviewed on the riverbank shining in the morning sun, but the county magistrate was so tired that he collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, unable to move, and just lay next to me."

"I said, County Magistrate Liu, you saved Fuyang County, only you can save this situation, you are a born hero. He bit a crumpled cigarette and smiled, he said, I saw that you were scared when you piled up the wall just now, in fact, I was more afraid than you, where are the natural heroes in this world, the Internationale is still sung, there has never been a savior, this responsibility is in front of you, you have to bear it! No matter how scared you are, you have to grit your teeth! ”

"Report to the company commander!" Zeng Bo shouted, "I seem to have read reports about this incident, and the People's Daily also gave a comment: The army and the people are united, and they will build a great wall of steel for flood fighting and disaster relief with their flesh and blood...... It's '98, right? ”

"Yes." Company Commander Ma nodded and said sadly, "The senior county official in the story is Wang Baining, the later senior official of Nandu City, and the county magistrate is Liu Hui, the later mayor of Yuanjiang City. ”
