Chapter 1439: Tear Through the Darkness

A ray of dawn tore through the darkness.

The sky gradually brightened, and the light shone through that crack in the sky, like a warrior tearing through the black curtain, so that people were proud to see the light.

The rain stopped completely.

The green fields and villages dotted with the flood area are completely gone. In an irregular rectangular area about 10 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide, it is a scene like a vast ocean. On both sides, some relatively low-lying places were also flooded.

For the people who live here or in the flood area and their property, they have been harmed unjustifiably. They weren't going to be ruined, but for the sake of the big picture, they sacrificed themselves.

The safety of more than 100,000 people in Xihe County has been preserved, and facts have proved that even if the evacuation is carried out with the greatest force, according to the results of computer calculations, only about 50,000 people can be evacuated when the third flood peak arrives, which is already the most optimistic result.

Li Mu's plan has received the best returns, and there is no doubt that there are no casualties in the flood discharge area, which makes the leading organs at all levels above very satisfied. This is an emergency evacuation operation in the flood discharge area under the direct command of Li Mu.

Later statistics showed that more than 11,000 people had been evacuated from the flood area, rather than the estimated thousands, most of whom were women, children, and children. The property that was salvaged is also a very objective figure.

In less than three hours, the evacuation of more than 10,000 people scattered in the flood discharge area was completed, which was no less than the entire process of carrying out a large-scale air assault operation, and 90 percent of the people were evacuated from the flood discharge area by helicopter.

Just three hours.

Under the condition that the hardware conditions meet the standard, what senior generals like Li Tangyi see is Li Mu's ability to organize and implement such a high-intensity air evacuation operation. An operation of this scale cannot be carried out so smoothly without a commander with superior command and control capabilities.

Some senior generals who had gradually forgotten the founder of the 107th Regiment suddenly realized through this operation that Li Mu was still the same Li Mu, and no matter where he went, he was still the commander in the army who had the most thorough grasp of the essence of air assault and the most experienced commander in carrying out this type of operation so far.

Politically, Li Mu may be able to single out many deficiencies and shortcomings, but if he stands in the Great Hall of the People and faces the senior military cadres of the whole army and says that Lao Tzu is the person with the strongest tactical command ability in the whole army, there is no one. I believe that no one will stand up against it without their own strength.

He spent almost all of his military career in the past ten years in the midst of war, and was used everywhere as a firefighter, and the advantage was that he had rich experience in actual combat command that the vast majority of military cadres did not have.

Organizing and implementing large-scale actions of the type, in his opinion, is now a matter of easy access.

The work of the Joint Disaster Response Command has not eased with the quiet of the floods, but has become more hectic. Withstanding the onslaught of the flood does not mean the end of the work, but the beginning of a more onerous post-disaster resettlement and reconstruction.

To a certain extent, the follow-up work is more of a test of combat effectiveness than the previous evacuation and rescue work.

After eating breakfast and reading the latest summary report, Li Mu was finally able to set up a marching bed in the room in the headquarters and lie down to sleep for a few hours. Prior to this, he ordered the troops who had been fighting continuously on the front line to withdraw and repair and replace them with other units. All kinds of rescue and medical teams organized by the local government have also been sent to the disaster area, the armed police hydropower unit has also begun to repair the traffic roads, and more people are busy taking various measures to dredge the stagnant water in the urban area as soon as possible, and then they must immediately start further search and rescue and heavy clean-up work in the urban area.

This is undoubtedly a protracted battle.

Applications from civil rescue forces to participate in disaster relief were piled up in the mailboxes of civil affairs departments, and non-profit non-profit organizations with long-term cooperation were quickly approved, while all similar organizations without basic information had to go through a very strict review before they could be approved to enter the disaster area to carry out rescue work.

The officers and men of the 707th Armored Brigade of the former Army, which was incorporated into the 1st Marine Division, arrived at the designated position at 9 a.m. in trucks carrying disaster relief tools and supplies, and handed over the special operations regiment that had been fighting all night.

Li Tangyi transferred two divisions from Guangxi, and the scale of the relief force for the Xihe flood reached 30,000 people, and the rescue forces organized by the local government were not included. Not only do these people have to go into the clean-up of the city, but they also have to wait for the water in the flood area to recede and clean up the villages in the flood area.

It's a long ongoing event.

Today, the country has rich experience in responding to major natural disasters and a perfect multi-party linkage mechanism, and even non-profit non-profit public welfare organizations have made great progress. Although the West River flood came suddenly and of high magnitude, the impact was minimized after the largest flood peak was contained.

At least as of 9 a.m., the latest casualty statistics do not exceed 10.

This is a very beautiful and shocking figure, you must know that the number of casualties in a major traffic accident can easily be in the dozens, not to mention that this is a huge flood that swept up and down the river and affected 300,000 people.

There is no doubt that the Marines, who first arrived in Xihe County, played an extremely important role. In the most difficult state of almost losing contact, the officers and men of the Marine Corps risked their lives to find out the situation in Xihe County, and immediately began to evacuate the people in the red zone. Second, the use of precision missile attacks carried out by the Marine Corps and the Navy's troops forced Hong Feng to divert his course, directly saving more than 100,000 people in Xihe County who had not had time to evacuate.

For Li Mu and his Marines, the most difficult task was accomplished, but their disaster relief operation was far from over.

The threat of widespread flooding has been eliminated, but there are still countless unclear dangers. For example, undercurrents that are difficult to find, such as the search and rescue of some scattered missing people, such as the protection of some key facilities, the most important thing to pay attention to is the secondary disasters caused by floods.

Li Mu didn't sleep long, and in less than an hour, he was woken up by Wang Guoqing. Although he was exhausted, and although he had not carried out high-intensity physical training, Li Mu still maintained a high level of vigilance.

He got up neatly, picked up a camouflage hat while putting on a camouflage jacket, and Wang Guoqing followed him out while quickly reporting the latest situation.

The point is, Wang Guoqing reported, "The head of the Government Council is here, and he wants to meet with the front-line commanders." Deputy Commander Li was accompanying the chief to inspect the east bank embankment. ”
