The D River is the main river of three provinces and four places, including the Lunan region, and the valley basin of the D River is a famous primitive area with a variety of rare wild animals and plants at home and abroad. The first month of the year is the heaviest period of flood control tasks, after September, generally speaking, the possibility of flood damage in River D will be very small.

Therefore, this time the catastrophic flood caught everyone off guard.

Xihe County is famous for the D River, the river runs through the city, several high-priced real estate in Xihe County take the river view as a selling point, there are four or five residential communities on both sides of the river, with a permanent population of more than 50,000 people, and a large number of old buildings and bungalows, gathering a large number of people with poor economic conditions and migrant workers.

The county seat is the most critical area, as the danger happened very suddenly, with more than 50,000 people waiting to be evacuated. When the upstream dam burst, Xihe County was still maintaining normal production and life, and until the emergency notice reached all enterprises, the people in the county still did not have the awareness that they were about to be hit by the flood.

The naval aviation unit dispatched two helicopters to reconnoiter the disaster situation in Xihe County, while the advance battalion led by Li Mu took off immediately afterwards and would receive a report on the situation from the reconnaissance helicopter during the maneuver.

The situation is more serious than expected.

Halfway through the flight, the reconnaissance helicopter sent back a report: Heavy rain had suddenly fallen in Xihe County, and the weather conditions were very bad, and the flight conditions had far exceeded the flight conditions. The reconnaissance helicopter withdrew from the airspace of Xihe County at a critical moment.

In desperation, Li Mu gave the order to return to the station, and at the same time ordered the ground convoy to wait at the airport. The advance force turned around and returned, and Li Mu's super-modified LC100 Land Cruiser and the six-wheeled all-wheel military truck that was large enough to carry the advance battalion were all in place.

The troops immediately moved from helicopters to a ground convoy and carried 10 assault boats to the county seat of Xihe by land.

Li Mu's car flashed with bright police lights, and pulled a sharp siren all the way to open the way in front. The traffic police departments along the route have already received notices to carry out traffic control at all intersections along the way, and at the same time block all vehicles heading to Xihe County except for disaster relief vehicles.

The advance battalion convoy plunged headlong into the rain, and the further it drove in the direction of the West River, the heavier the rain became, and the darker the sky became. Fortunately, Li Mu asked to dispatch an all-wheel drive truck, not an ordinary rear-drive truck, otherwise the slippery and muddy road would greatly affect the speed of the team's help.

Finally, at about five o'clock in the evening, the convoy of the advance battalion stopped at a distance of three kilometers from the county seat, and the road in front of it was broken.

In the rainstorm, Li Mu jumped out of the car wearing an old-fashioned raincoat and strode to the position in front of him with flashing red and blue police lights. Among these people, only his duties are different, and his first task is to ensure Li Mu's safety.

Several policemen set up a checkpoint at the top of the slope to stop the convoy, and more than 100 meters further on, there was floodwater.

"What's up ahead?"

In the rainstorm, Li Mu asked with a slashed face, and a police inspector saw Li Mu's military rank and the officers surrounding him clearly, hurriedly saluted, and reported loudly, "Report to the chief! Half an hour ago, the road ahead was flooded, and I can't pass it!"

Su Xiaobing jumped down from the communication vehicle that had been following LC100, ran over with a waterproof tablet in his hand, and reported to Li Mu, "Boss, the satellite map has been transmitted, but our drone has no way to use it, and the rain is too great to take off at all." Chief, you see, there is the D River ahead. Three kilometers in front of the top of the slope where we are standing is another slope top, and these three kilometers are a depression with a drop of more than 20 meters, and the D River flows through the middle of this large depression. The D river is L-shaped in Xihe County, and the D river passes through the city from west to east, but there is a 90-degree bend in the southeast corner of the city, and then it flows from the large depression in front of us to the eastern suburbs of the city, forming a moat! The highway bridge that crosses the D river in front is actually just an ordinary bridge more than 300 meters long, and the terrain of the road three kilometers ahead is a very vivid U-shape, and the D river is at the bottom of the U-shape. In the past so many years, this has never happened to the big depression...... This is the first time. ”

"Moat. Li Mu sneered, but he gasped in his heart, the satellite map showed that the large depression in front of him was two kilometers wide, and the length was almost from the south of the city to the east of the city.

And in front of him at this time, the large depression had been filled with floodwater. That's a lot of water!

He immediately checked the topographic map of the county and found that this depression was the lowest in the vicinity of the county, so all the floodwaters would run this way until it was filled. At this time, the water level of the depression is still rising. This situation is good news for the residents of the county, which means that their lives are not in danger for the time being.

Li Mu immediately made an accurate judgment, "That is to say, before the water level of the big depression exceeds the altitude of the county, the people in the county are still safe." ”

Wang Guoqing walked over from the police and said loudly, "Chief, the terrain of the county area is in a stepped shape, increasing from west to east. The west of the city is currently the most dangerous. Just now, the local traffic police told me that the position we are standing in is higher than the altitude in the west of the city. ”

Su Xiaobing picked up the conversation and said, "If you want to find a way to get over, it will take at least an hour to detour."

In other words, the west of the city has begun to be flooded. Li Mu thought sharply and gave an order decisively, "Unload the assault boat! The advance battalion will cross from here! Immediately notify the follow-up troops and divert into Xihe County!"

"Yes!"

Su Xiaobing hurriedly conveyed the order.

In the rainstorm, the all-wheel drive military truck with the headlights on began to be adjusted under the guidance of the guide, and the ten assault boats were quickly unloaded, and a dozen soldiers of a squad shouted the number to lift the assault boats and go forward, and put them on the water.

The officers and men of the advance battalion immediately found a place in front of them to set up a temporary wharf, and the local party members and the masses who had mobilized to support them brought sandbags filled with sand, and together with the officers and men of the advance battalion, they used sandbags to strengthen the temporary wharf, and as the water level rose, they continued to retreat and raise the wharf.

Li Mu resolutely ordered that the work be handed over to the local people, and that all the officers and men of the advance battalion should be given priority to the rescue of the people in the west of the city.

When he was about to go to the state, he was blocked by Chen Shangwu.

Li Mu's temper tantrums, "Xiao Wu, what are you going to do! Get out of the way of Lao Tzu!"

Wang Guoqing also stood beside Chen Shangwu, and Su Xiaobing was busy taking charge of communications, otherwise he would have rushed up to stop Li Mu.

"What are you going to do! Rebellion!" Li Mu was furious and yelled at them, "Get out of the way!"

Chen Shangwu said unswervingly, "Boss, you can't go. ”

Li Mu knew that Chen Shangwu was not a tendon in this regard, but because he had been trained by the world's top dignitaries and guards, and there was always only one goal in the minds of people like him, ensuring the safety of the guards at all costs.

He doesn't care about anything else, as long as he thinks it's extremely dangerous, he'll risk his life to stop the object of protection.

In the torrential rain, the two sides faced off.

Li Mu looked at Wang Guoqing and said loudly, "Old Wang, you are not sensible?"

Wang Guoqing said calmly, "Chief, a deputy commander of the special operations regiment went up with the advance battalion, there is no need for you to go in again." Your superiors have always emphasized that you should be in the position you should be in. Your position is not on the front line. ”

"Fuck it! Look at it! Look at Xihe County! It's dark! There are more than 100,000 people living there! Is the safety of the lives of hundreds of thousands of people important, or is the personal safety of my Li Mu important? Get out of the way!" Li Mu said angrily.

Chen Shangwu raised his voice, "Chief, it won't make much difference if you go! No matter what you say, I won't let you pass! Unless you kill me!"

This is a business-like posture, no longer called the leader, and an honorific title is used.

Li Mu slowly turned his head to look at Wang Guoqing, his voice was terrifyingly low, "You think so too?"

"Yes, chief!" Wang Guoqing puffed up.

Li Mu took a deep breath and controlled his emotions, he took off the hat of his raincoat, the rain hit his head and face, the headlights shone through, and there were constantly officers and soldiers and supporting party members carrying sandbags passing in front of the headlights, shouting the trumpet to build a temporary embankment to block the flood.

His voice was terrifyingly low, and the voice clearly came into the ears of Wang Guoqing and Chen Shangwu, "You have been following me for a long time, you Wang Guoqing have been following me since the northwest, you should know who I am Li Mu." I will not do things that I am not sure of, and only when I enter the county town can I grasp the latest situation and best command the operation. Look at the vests you are wearing, do you still have the masses of the people in your hearts! Now, more than 100,000 people are in deep danger, and you should not stand in front of me to stop me, but should go deep into the disaster area with me to rescue the masses of the people!"

"Boss!" Chen Shangwu said loudly, "Don't say it, I know your eloquence is good, I know your speech has always been very infectious! But! I'm sorry! This is my duty!"

Wang Guoqing said, "Boss, as long as we are here today, don't think about the past!"

Li Mu was no longer angry, and a smile suddenly flashed on the corner of his mouth. Just when Wang Guoqing and Chen Shangwu flashed a trace of uneasiness and danger in their hearts for no reason, a flower almost at the same time in front of them, it was not the impact of the rain, but a real flower, and then there was darkness in front of them, and they didn't know what was going on.

A few staff officers who were frightened on the side hurriedly ran over, Li Mu looked at Wang Guoqing and Chen Shangwu who fell softly, sighed helplessly, and said, "But you forgot what Lao Tzu came from, and you two still want to stop Lao Tzu with this little three-legged cat kung fu?"

"Just lift them to the car and rest for a while. Come a few people, bring rescue tools, and follow me into the county seat!" Li Mu ordered loudly.

Wang Guoqing and Chen Shangwu were knocked unconscious, where could anyone stop Li Mu.

A major with the highest military rank at the scene, except for Li Mu, hurriedly selected a few soldiers with the best water and physical strength, brought rescue equipment and emergency supplies, boarded another assault boat, and followed the assault boat that Li Mu was riding. If the chief of staff of the Marine Corps command drowns in the flood, it will become the laughing stock of the people of the world!

Xihe County, where the whole city is cut off from power, is like a region of steel and cement, and those high-rise public high-end residences that look beautiful and splendid in the light of the light are like missing a thousand-year-old city in the torrential rain, and they are being swallowed up by the flood at this time when the end of the world is approaching.

The burst of the largest dam upstream poured a huge amount of water downstream, and the county town of Xihe, because of its unique topography, became the most dangerous huge whirlpool in this flood, constantly attracting water from various tributaries to pour water into it.

And the most critical place is that the downstream of Xihe County is the urban area of Lunan. The city must control the flood from the upper reaches to buy time to strengthen the embankments on both banks, otherwise the next to be flooded will be the Lunan urban area. In doing so, Xihe County almost bears all the pressure of this flood peak.

In front of more than a million people, more than 100,000 people can only be alternatives.

There were no lights, the torrential rain continued, aerial reconnaissance could not be carried out, everything could only rely on manpower to go deep into the county to grope, and the search and rescue work was carried out very slowly.

In the early stage, only an advance battalion was put into it, and the deputy commander of the special operations regiment led a part of the people to enter the western part of the city that had not yet been flooded, and marched from the most dangerous area on foot. All the public servants in the county town were organized and devoted themselves to the work of evacuating the people. Organizations at all levels have set up vanguard teams of party members to take the lead in rushing to the front line.

Fortunately, the Beidou navigation system can still be used in such a harsh weather environment. Li Mu and more than a dozen soldiers rushed to the most dangerous residential area after more than half an hour according to the positioning information, that is, the riverside area at the very edge of the west of the city.

The bridge across the river that should have been visible is gone, the newsstand on the bank is gone, and a third of the wall of the residential area called Riverside Garden is gone. The range and irradiation range of the searchlight are limited, and the scene Li Mu sees is very limited.

Even so, he had gasped a few times. According to information provided by the local government, tens of thousands of people live in the riverfront garden and surrounding residential areas alone. Riverside Gardens are all high-rise residential buildings, and the current problem is not very big, but there are still a large number of self-built buildings around, most of which are only two or three storeys high, and the situation is very critical.

The sound of fierce quarrels at the gate of the Riverside Garden Community in front of them came through the torrential rain, and it was not clear what was going on there in the pouring rain.

Li Mu immediately instructed the operator of the assault boat, "Go over and have a look!"

The two assault boats quickly sailed towards the gate of the riverside garden community......
