In front of the TV, Yang Dahai stared at the picture with an anxious expression.
The phone rang and he picked it up.
"Lao Yang... There is no news yet..." The voice of the head of the military region was low.
"Don't worry, we have dispatched the helicopter and will definitely find them.... Yang Lei volunteered to undertake this mission and rushed to the front. He is an excellent soldier... "
Yang Dahai slowly put down the phone, his hair was gray, and his face seemed to have aged several years overnight.
The sound of the TV was still coming, and Yang Dahai lowered his gray head deeply...
Mang County, tense rescue, search and rescue, helicopters with noisy propellers, military and police fighting in the muddy water, urgently reinforced dam fortifications, hoarse command voices, chanting, people’s clamor, mud splashing, turbulent rivers the flood...
"How is it?" Political Commissar Lu raised the walkie-talkie anxiously.
"No target found, no target found..." the voice in the helicopter repeated.
"Report!" A soldier came running with muddy water. "Someone wanted to go into the mountains to find someone, but was stopped outside the valley. It was a common man!"
"Nonsense! Stop people back! Except for the attacking team, no one can stay here!"
"He's a friend of Staff Officer Yang, he..."
"...Reassure the masses that we will definitely find someone!" Political Commissar Lu's heart tightened.
A group of people came in a hurry, guarding one person. Political Commissar Lu braved the wind and rain to greet him.
"Is there any news?" Yang Dahai looked anxious and stunned.
"..." Political Commissar Lu shook his head heavily. Yang Dahai is stunned...
The rain intensified, and the water flowed like a column. The mountain soil was washed and the soil was loose.
"It's too dangerous here, please retreat to a safe area outside the valley." Political commissar Lu sent Yang Dahai out.
"I don't mind!"
Yang Dahai has lost the elegance and calmness of the past. He is a cadre, but he is also a father.
The people around were silent...
"Wait! You can't go in here! Comrade!"
A man threw off the block and rushed in. When Yang Dahai saw him, Yang Dahai was shocked.
"Where's Yang Lei?"
He rushed in front of Yang Dahai.
"..." Yang Dahai was silent.
"What about people?!"
Fang Yu roars.
There was a commotion in a corner in the distance, the crowd burst into an uproar, and many people ran up the mountain.
"There is someone on the mountain!"
"Quick! Rescue team!!"
"Report, find target, find target..."
Fang Yu rushed up, Political Commissar Lu and Yang Dahai both ran over...
In the old forest in the middle of the mountain, six or seven soldiers who came out to protect a few villagers and children collapsed to the ground and were surrounded by groups. Political Commissar Lu and Yang Da pushed aside the crowd, but their surprised expressions gradually solidified.
"Anyone else?" Political Commissar Lu panicked. Eight people, seven people are there, but Yang Lei is not seen.
"Quick... Staff Officer Yang is still inside!" Captain Huang pointed at the back mountain in a hurry. There was a crack at the back of the mountain, and the turbulent water flowed down from the valley, submerging the crack.
"... After he broke in the back, the top collapsed, and the water rushed down... He pushed people over, the road... The road was washed by the flood,... He was trapped inside!"
"Where?!" Fang Yu grabbed him.
"I'll lead the way!" Captain Huang struggled to get up.
The torrential rain poured down, and the water flow became more and more turbulent and violent, wrapping the rolling rocks and making a rapid roar.
"This is wrong, get out of the valley!" The local team members panicked, and their rich experience made them aware of the danger.
Political Commissar Lu picked up the phone, changed his face, asked for instructions, and finally put down the phone, his expression was difficult and sad...
"... Take the superior's order, notify everyone, all retreat, immediately evacuate, and retreat to the outside of the valley!"
"What about Staff Officer Yang?!" Captain Huang was anxious.
"There will be another mudslide here at any time, and hundreds of lives will be swallowed up! First retreat to a safe area before organizing rescue!" Political commissar Lu reluctantly...
"Let the big troops withdraw, I'll find someone!" Captain Huang was about to rush up.
"I'm going!" "I!"
The soldiers rushed forward.
"Obey the order!! You can only go to death now! Is it okay?"
The crack lies behind it, but the not-wide crack has become the farthest distance at this moment. The thrilling red stream roars, swallowing it like an open mouth, and rocks big and small, trees as thick as children's arms are swept away. The whole root was wrapped in the flood, and rushed down in the blink of an eye. As long as there is enough time, tools and manpower can be used to get past it, but there is a possibility of landslides at any time such as heavy rain, and there is no time now.
People were silent, and everyone knew that this was a difficult choice, a choice for human life and human life. Political Commissar Lu looked at Yang Dahai.
"… "
Yang Dahai's face paled, but he didn't say anything.
Political Commissar Lu trembled.
In the face of right and wrong, between his son's life and hundreds of lives, a father made a choice.
Political Commissar Lu issued an order: "Retreat!"
Troops began to withdraw, people began to descend the mountain urgently, and the flow of people evacuated down.
"Hey, you...!"
A soldier screamed. In the screams, a man grabbed the search and rescue bag on his back and threw it towards the opposite side of the crack. He jumped on a rock and climbed up towards the rock pile protruding next to the crack.
"Who is that! Pull him down!!"
People were stunned, Political Commissar Lu roared, and the soldiers rushed up to pull him, and the man had already climbed to the top.
"Throw me the rope!"
Fang Yu roared at his head.
"quick!!"
The soldiers were stunned, and I don't know who responded, picked up the fixed rope on the ground and threw it up.
No one wants to give up their comrades-in-arms, it is the instinct of the human heart in an instant.
Tie the other end of the rope on the waist tightly to the protruding rock tree, Fang Yu stepped on a section of the wooden bridge deck that was shattered in the air by the flood, and the load-bearing wooden board made a cracking sound. Yu stepped forward...
The stunned crowd, Political Commissar Lu's panicked roar, and the soldiers who rushed to the bridge and grabbed the rope... Above the surging water, the unbearable wooden plank finally ripped apart in response to the sound. A figure jumped out of the exclamation...
At that moment, someone closed their eyes.
Some people dare not look towards the opposite side, and some people dare not look at the rushing water.
Yang Dahai was stunned...
He watched Fang Yu tightly grasp the branches on the opposite side, and stabilize his body, which was almost swept away by the rapids, and watched Fang Yu climb up the stone slope on the other side by stepping on the narrow ground support arm protruding from the water... Everyone They all stared blankly at the figure disappearing on the opposite side, and Yang Dahai remained motionless in the roar of the water...
