In the pouring rain, everyone was stunned. In the past, standing on the streets of the cofferyan township and watching the river, it was impossible to see it at all, because you could only see the levee, and the river was under the levee, and you could only walk to the levee. You can see the river when you look down on the top of the mountain.
But now, standing on the street and looking up, everyone actually saw a ship appearing in the field of view, parallel to the field of view, or even higher than the field of view!
This means that the river surface is already as high as the cofferyan township, which means that the river surface is far beyond the height of the embankment! Listening to the sound of the huge waves slamming against the two-meter-high sandbag wall in the sound of rain, it really gave people a "hairy" feeling.
This is like nature telling you that maybe it is now, maybe it is the next moment, the surging river will suddenly roll into this town and be swept away. Everything, let all the people here instantly become the residue of the river bottom.
"What a daze! Get moving, hurry up..." Yang Can roared out first, awakening both Major Miao and Tian Guoli.
Due to the need to defend several large cities in Hua Province, most of the engineering corps and human resources have been moved to other places, such as the small place of Changyan Township. Almost all of them are village offices. Non-governmental personnel are repairing the dams. Hundreds of engineers were sent to support, but there was still a serious shortage of manpower for the dams along the river that stretched for tens of kilometers.
Except for that Major Miao, most of the hundreds of people in this engineering regiment are 18 or 9-year-old recruits. They have never seen such a scene at all, and for a while, they don't know what to do.
On the other hand, the villagers on the dyke, organized by the township committee, were busy with their hands and feet in the heavy rain. Along the river, the whole city was built with one sack and one sack of earth and rock. The dyke is more than two meters high and is covered with Several layers of plastic cloth, canvas bags, etc., to prevent the flood from penetrating, all underneath is pressed by big rocks, impervious to the wind.
On the Zidi, every 20 meters, there is a villager patrolling with a flashlight, facing the cofferdam township, staring at the water without blinking, as long as there is an abnormality, he immediately informs the headquarters with the walkie-talkie. , There will be someone to support it, and it's been two weeks.
And the two-meter dyke, the dyke that blocked the turbulent flood, was the result of thousands of villagers fighting, otherwise the cofferyan township would have long been gone. Compared with the last time Yang Can came, the river here has risen so much. too much.
Tian Guoli and Yang Can looked at each other, and finally realized why the head of the township Wang Chunming had to resist. Wang Chunming was not only forced by Wang Haibo's death order, but also by circumstances.
If he doesn’t resist this destiny, how can he face this group of villagers from the cofferdam village that followed him desperately. These people have been in this closed small town for decades, and many people are holding on to this three acre. The mentality of dividing the land and fighting the floods has been like this every year. Now if they are to withdraw, Wang Chunming's township chief does not need to be.
Tian Guoli asked Major Miao to use soldiers to replace these villagers, and at the same time asked the technicians to set up the propaganda loudspeaker equipment, then connected to the township committee’s radio signal, and shouted with the loudspeaker in the heavy rain: "Cofferdam Wang Chunming, the mayor and party secretary of the township, confronted and concealed his superiors. The emergency instructions regarding the evacuation of the cofferyan township were severely dereliction of duty. He has been dismissed. Tian Guoli, secretary of the Nancheng Municipal Party Committee, represents the provincial government and the Hua Provincial Flood Control Headquarters. , Asking the cadres and the masses of the cofferyan township to immediately evacuate in an organized manner with the village team as a unit after hearing the broadcast..."
"The current situation is quite urgent. Therefore, every party member and cadre has to show the party's spirit. Our party members and cadres have to emphasize organizational discipline. Under such special circumstances, disobedience is a crime!"
At 8:06 in the evening, there were still four hours and seventeen minutes before the flood peak came, and it had been more than two hours since Major Miao's engineering regiment had taken over the line of defense of the dyke.
If anyone has seen the scene of fighting floods, they would definitely not dare to underestimate the PLA’s combat effectiveness. These 10**-year-old bodies, carrying sacks of earth and stone weighing two hundred catties, roared and rushed onto the embankment. The earth and stone sacks were very much in the water. It is easy to be washed away, and it will be reinforced immediately, hundreds of people, roaring all over the river bank.
There are not many good skins on this soldier’s shoulders. They are basically covered with blood. They are worn out by earth and rocks. Many people bite and insist on holding on. I don’t know how tired they fell on the embankment. Intensive and high-density manual labor is not a trace of laziness. Only soldiers can have such tenacious perseverance.
And Yang Can is also one of them. An hour ago, other media had arrived. They were all busy collecting information and interviewing relevant people. However, Yang Can did not ask anyone for instructions, and directly joined the sandbags. The team, Wang Chuanjun and Jiang Wei were also ready to come to help, but Yang Can stopped him: "Just your small body, keep it for later use, you have your hard work."
Yang Can yelled at the soldiers next to him from time to time: "You guys are running slower! Don't shout! Don't shout! Keep your strength!" He was about to kick a guy who was still shouting. Little soldier.
It may be that Yang Can was carrying a sandbag and rushing, and the brave image of a person with a few people's efficiency stunned these fighters. Although this group of fighters did not know who he was, they had vaguely killed him. As a commander, everyone was very convinced. The little soldier was kicked by Yang Can and immediately got up, "touched" his head and said, "Yes, no yelling, no yelling."
Looking at Yang Can’s well-organized side and looking at him and Tian Guoli but a little messy, Major Miao also shook his head, muttering to himself rather depressedly: "This surname" Yang’s reporter shouldn’t have actually brought soldiers, so that he can put these stubborn boys in full compliance."
Wearing a raincoat next to him, Tian Guoli also patted this shoulder with a wry smile: "Don't compare with him, he is like this. It often scares me and Secretary Qiu. Just get used to it."
To be honest, when Yang Can began to yell at the command, Major Miao didn’t stop him with a joke mentality. Unexpectedly, in just a few hours, Yang Can has built up a lot. The prestige of this group of soldiers really listened to him, and what surprised him the most was that Yang Can’s Jun Ling was even stronger than him.
This is the charm of Yang Can's personality. Although he usually has a hip and smiling face, once he gets serious, he takes the lead in everything.
At the beginning, those soldiers looked at him resisting sandbags and several others were secretly competing with him. They wanted to compare with him. Yang Can conquered them with facts. They didn’t start to command until he was completely admired by them. It seems that he is lucky, in fact, it is because of the clever grasp of the rhythm of his psychological control.
When everyone felt that the bones were about to fall apart, the logistics staff finally delivered the meal. They hadn't eaten anything for nearly six hours since the assembly, and the soldiers were exhausted with such a lot of manual labor.
The logistic staff in the rain brought large pieces of meat, dried tofu, and other hot meals. It was rare for everyone to sit on the floor while changing shifts, but few people used their chopsticks.
That's not much experience. Tian Guoli gnawed a large piece of braised pork while shouting there, "Such a good meal, what are you doing! Give me swallow it! Only when I'm full can I work hard! There are four more. If you evacuate for an hour, you still have to give me four hours! Do you want to spend another four hours hungry!" The group of soldiers listened. Some of them picked up their chopsticks, but they just couldn't eat.
Yang Can had the urge to swear at Tian Guoli. As expected, he was the leader of the North and had no experience. This logistic meal must have been prepared by him personally. Seeing Major Miao smiled bitterly and did not speak, he just snorted: "Secretary Tian If you want them to eat, get more water first! Get more steamed buns, porridge, and pickles. When the body is exhausted to the extreme, such a greasy thing will make you vomit when you eat it in your mouth." I took a piece of meat to Tian. National watch.
Tian Guoli was shocked. He also came up from the grassroots level. He immediately woke up. Yes, the Chinese characters that have been playing for a long time on the levee, the first thing they want is water. They are really hungry, and they really want to eat that chunk. They can’t eat pork and red intestines, they need water, and they can’t digest greasy things when the body is extremely tired.
"Yes! Yes! Why am I so anxious..." Patting his forehead, he quickly organized people to bring water and steamed buns up immediately.
The group of soldiers looked at Yang Can gratefully. This person really said what they were saying. The domestic troops pay attention to discipline. They always accept whatever conditions are given. They don’t have the habit of making demands, but they don’t know how to communicate. The way will reduce its efficiency.
Everyone drank water and took a rare break. People who were sweating profusely found this five-minute rest to be very pleasant.
But when everyone was enjoying their leisure time, there was a loud bang, and everyone looked back, what sound! I only saw someone starting to run, yelling "The water is coming!"
On the asphalt road by the river, there is a big hole in the mouth of the bowl. The water sprayed up several meters high, and the surface of a few meters in a radius completely collapsed. The two bungalows next to it have been tilted... Piping! It's the piping coming!
