Chapter 39: The Dead Are Gone, The Living Continue to Fight
As soon as I was about to get married, I was going to the front line to fight the flood and provide disaster relief.
Heard Xu Qing's words.
The reporters and photographers at the scene all showed a touch of emotion.
Tie the knot.
To be honest, it is definitely the most important period of a person's life.
For men, women, and almost everyone in society, they are topics that cannot be avoided.
Whether it is the family tradition of blood relationship as the core bond since ancient times, or the desire for individuals to start a family, marriage is a lifelong thing.
And what about flood fighting?
Looking at the monstrous flood in front of them, they all understood the danger.
If you are not careful, you will put your life inside.
Seeing this, the reporter couldn't help but poke the photographer next to him with his elbow.
The photographer immediately understood that after a while, they should be going to interview the battalion commander in Xu Qing's mouth.
"Your battalion commander is great."
The reporter also said immediately.
Xu Qing paused and did not continue to speak.
At this time, the reporter asked again: "Do you have any views on the current situation of this flood?" ”
"The water potential in Hongcheng is much smaller than before. At present, we have also achieved basic control, and I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, we will be able to overcome the flood and rebuild our homes as soon as possible. ”
Xu Qing's answer was slightly official.
The reporter bowed to Xu Qing and said, "Thank you for your answer, I also believe what you said, we will definitely be able to defeat the flood." You've worked hard. ”
"Finally, what difficulties did you encounter in the process of fighting the flood?"
After Xu Qing heard this, he recalled slightly, sighed, and said: "Everywhere is difficult, and this is also the first time I have seen my own insignificance in the face of disaster. ”
"When the wave came, we didn't have enough manpower, and the sandbags were thrown into the water and were about to be washed away, and when the wave broke, the big wave was higher than all of us, and the battalion commander organized us to hold hands and jump into the water to put people on the wall, and ordered us not to get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and there were a lot of debris in the flood. If it's a big piece, it's okay, it's blocked by iron mesh, and some small stones, steel bars, can go directly through the barbed wire, and if you hit your body, you will bleed on the spot..."
"Some soldiers were unlucky, they were directly hit by the waves, and their heads fell to death on the stone skin......"
Speaking of which, Xu Qing was also a little emotionally unstable.
"Now, in our battalion, there is still the 411 regiment, and more than forty fighters are seriously wounded..."
"Our synthetic battalion is slightly better, and the basic quality of the fighters is relatively higher. In the 411th regiment, some fighters were directly exhausted to death. fell into the flood and was trampled on the chest only to find out, when it was fished out, it was already out of gas. ”
"When I built a human wall, I didn't dare to fall, I was afraid that as soon as I fell, I would be swept away by the water, and I would never be able to get up again when I lay down......"
Reporters are also worried about listening.
This is simply a war, as Xu Qing said, it is too difficult!
After listening to Xu Qing's story, the female reporter's eyes were also red.
Just listening to it, she felt extremely difficult, and she was instantly full of admiration for the soldiers who participated in the flood fight.
At this time, she also deeply realized how much the synthetic battalion and the 411 regiment had paid for this victory in the absence of support.
"Those warriors lying on sandbags ..."
At this time, the reporter asked in a low voice.
"Those who are still alive should still be soaked in water. We don't want to fall short more than anyone else. ”
Rest, but also take turns to rest, no one will be big at the end.
At the very least, the Synthesis Battalion won't now.
No one came out of the grief of the sacrifice of their comrades, and at this moment, they all wanted to numb themselves with tasks.
After Xu Qing was interviewed, his mood also became very bad.
In fact, at the beginning of the rescue and disaster relief, Xu Qing also fantasized about being interviewed by reporters, and planned to show his heroic side in front of the people of the whole country.
But when the people around him fell, he completely lost interest in this aspect.
Although it is indeed glorious to walk into thousands of TV screens, he is completely unwilling to be honored.
…………
The staking is still going on.
The work of loading sand, beating steel bars, and resisting sandbags is still being mechanized.
The embankment is getting thicker and thicker, and their hearts are a little more steady.
In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped slowly.
The sun that came out of the heart shone on the faces of the soldiers without smiling.
The atmosphere has always been quite depressing.
Female reporters also ran into walls everywhere, in addition to Xu Qing at the beginning, he also interviewed Jiang Yu of the medical detachment, interviewed the commander of the first company, and interviewed other soldiers and officers of the 411 regiment.
The answers were very brief and perfunctory.
In fact, Xu Qing's temperament has been sharpened a little, and his toughness and knowledge are higher, so he is in the mood for an interview.
The rest of the fighters were very uncomfortable, and the interview was like squeezing toothpaste, asking half a sentence.
The reporter also tried to find Li Xiu, but there were a lot of people, and he didn't find it for a while.
Before, he was with the minister, but now, he is not in the rear command either.
Specifically asked the minister to find Li Xiu?
Not to mention that reporters don't have this face, if they really hinder their work, they can't afford to take this responsibility.
Of course, it is not without an opportunity, and the official will definitely launch someone to publicize this matter. At that time, Li Xiu will definitely be interviewed.
………………
Two hours later. The water potential is effectively controlled. The water level began to slowly decrease.
The synthetic battalion, which was holding on to the embankment, finally officially received the order to retreat.
In the 411th regiment, most of the fighters have rested, but the synthetic battalion is still fighting on the front line.
Of course, the main reason is that the physical fitness of the soldiers of the synthetic battalion is relatively high, and the soldiers of the 411 regiment can't hold on, and the soldiers of the synthetic battalion can still hold on for a while.
In front of Li Xiu, the officers and soldiers of the synthetic battalion like mud monkeys gathered.
"Comrade battalion commander."
"The synthetic battalion should have 561 people, but it is... 552 people, four of whom ... Sacrifice. ”
Manguangzhi's answer paused as if he had wandered. When the word sacrifice came out, it also used up a lot of his strength.
Li Xiu also saw it at this time. At present, the atmosphere of the synthetic camp is not right.
This atmosphere is a bit like a post-war sequelae.
The number of warrior casualties is always a blinding blood-red.
He could understand, and even he himself was affected.
"Take a break."
"Yes!"
Man Guangzhi let out a breath and escaped the usual command to take a breath, then turned his head and quickly returned to the queue.
"Everyone, it's all good."
Li Xiu took a deep breath and said bitterly: "This flood relief is the first time that our synthetic battalion has officially carried out an actual combat mission. ”
"In the middle, we have poured out a lot of advanced examples"
"Wang Qian, a soldier of the medical detachment, Jiang Yu almost fainted due to overdraft potential, and Jiang Xiong, a senior soldier, found a pipe surge when looking for the embankment, and was not afraid of danger, and dealt with it calmly, Zhao Zexiong, the captain of the artillery detachment, went into the water to rescue seven people during the rescue and disaster relief......"
"There are many more, and even each and every one of you, you are all good, but without one of you, we will not succeed."
"As the commander of the synthetic battalion, I would like to thank the 561 officers and men of the synthetic battalion who participated in the flood fight for their hard work and dedication in the face of this flood."
Below, there was a burst of applause.
After a few seconds, Li Xiu said slowly: "But at the same time, the synthetic battalion has also lost four brave fighters, and five fighters are also injured unknown. ”
"Yang Jianxiong, the deputy company commander of the first company."
"Comrade Yang Jianxiong is the deputy company commander of the first company, a compound officer, and a second-class meritorious service recipient in the battalion, and he is just 25 years old......
"Comrade Jiang Haixin is a soldier of a tank detachment, he has only been in the synthetic battalion for two months, and he is the second batch to join the synthetic battalion. A few days ago, you asked me when I would be able to really participate in the actual combat and really see blood......"
"Comrade Wang Wei, the leader of the special operations detachment......"
Li Xiu quietly recounted the military trajectories of the four soldiers.
Four energetic warriors lost their lives.
The feeling of regret made Li Xiu say heavily.
"Comrades, we did not disappoint the four heroic souls of the synthetic battalion."
"Hongcheng embankment is fine!"
"Hongcheng is fine!"
"The mountains and rivers are safe, and the people are healthy."
"We have fulfilled the last wish of the martyrs."
Speaking of this, Li Xiu's voice raised again.
"I've often heard that veterans don't die, they just wither."
"I often hear that the dead are gone, and the living continue to fight."
"Comrades, this is a very good statement. Our synthetic battalion is to fight constantly. From the day he was born, he continued to strive for a noble goal. ”
"This road under our feet, there may or may not be an end, but there is absolutely no turning back."
"In the future, we will face even stronger tests. We will benchmark ourselves in all directions, surpass foreign armies, overcome some difficulties that must be overcome, and brave all life-threatening artillery fire. ”
"Comrades, the spirit of the martyrs will always be there. The spirit of the army will shine on us moving forward. ”
"We can't be brought down, because we are the People's Liberation Army, we are the Huaxia RM Liberation Army!!"
The Chinese RM People's Liberation Army cannot be defeated!!
When one day, after I die, someone can catch the steel gun of the deceased and catch the spirit of the deceased.
The flame of inheritance will not be extinguished.
"Synthetic Battalion!"
"Take off your hat!"
Swish!
With a bang, the whole battalion took off their military caps,
"Salute."
Brush brush brush.
All the synthetic camps, salute to the sky.
Send the military.
Take off your hat and salute.
…………………………
"Chief, can I interview Comrade Commander of the Synthetic Battalion."
The reporter had just finished interviewing the commander of the 411 regiment and took the opportunity to ask.
The commander of the 411th regiment turned his head and immediately said, "Yes, of course." ”
Interviews, in fact, most people will not refuse.
Especially now, the task of the synthetic battalion has been completed, and it will not affect the business.
So, at this time, it's time to show your face.
Everyone likes to show their faces, and ordinary people don't say no. Therefore, the commander of the 411 regiment directly agreed.
PS: Oops, crying. If this chapter is free, the full attendance is gone. Make it up right away, before two o'clock. I don't know why, the plot of flood fighting, it is very uncomfortable to write, and it is difficult to write, so I will delete three sentences in one sentence. In the next plot, the update will follow.
