Special Years

"The third squadron! Assemble and set off immediately! The rest of the squadrons will be led by me, and immediately go to the embankment to start rescue!"

After the commander Wen Zhixing finished speaking, he immediately asked the squadron commander on duty to take away the 1st and 2nd squadrons.

In the third squadron, various whispered discussions immediately came.

"How did you separate us from the first and second squadrons?"

"Are we going somewhere else?"

"have no idea……"

Everyone's heart was once again suspended at the highest point.

Wen Zhixing walked to Zhou Huping, the captain of the third squadron, and said in a low voice: "You board the car immediately, and then take your soldiers to the temporary camping point of the division headquarters, where they meet with the Engineer Battalion Boat and Bridge Company, you have urgent tasks, hurry up immediately. Go to Paizhou!"

Zhou Huping heard the seriousness in Wen Zhixing's tone, and quickly asked, "Captain, what happened?"

Wen Zhixing said: "Two hundred kilometers away from us, Paizhou in the lower reaches has burst. There are tens of thousands of people trapped there. Deputy Commander Gong of the Military Region gave an order to help Paizhou to save people at all costs! The assault boat is ready, but they need some help, and Master Zhang ordered our brigade to send a squadron to cooperate with the engineers to rescue people."

Zhou Huping suddenly felt agitated and said, "Are there any members of our army?"

"Yes..." Wen Zhixing's face darkened, and his tone became even heavier, "Many troops who went to the local area for emergency rescue encountered floods on the way... Also lost contact, including the anti-aircraft artillery regiment of a certain base of the Air Force..."

Zhou Huping, who was usually the calmest in his life, couldn't help but tremble a few times in his heart.

This is the most feared situation in flood fighting and emergency rescue. You have no idea that the embankment has burst ahead, and you are rushing towards the embankment with your troops, and you will encounter a monstrous flood head-on...

His heart suddenly twitched.

"Okay! I'll start right away! I promise to complete the task!" Zhou Huping saluted Wen Zhixing, turned around and left.

"Remember!" Wen Zhixing called out to Zhou Huping: "At all costs! Save every mass and comrade-in-arms!"

"Don't worry, captain! We teach the team to absolutely complete the task!"

A few minutes later, Zhuang Yan was already sitting in the truck.

He has been in the car since yesterday.

As a soldier, he is actually more eager to be like the second lieutenant of the armed police, and immediately rush to the embankment to participate in reinforcement and plugging, instead of being transferred here and there.

"Squad leader, what are we doing?" Zhuang Yan was a little unhappy, and asked the seventh old man, "Everyone else has gone to the rescue. We will be here for a while, and we will be sitting in the car today until our **** blooms."

Lao Qi glared solemnly: "You are so solemn! What do you have to ask when you're a soldier? Do what you want to do! Don't you see that we are going to the division now? There must be a mission."

When we arrived at the division, everyone came down to gather.

Zhuang Yan saw a long queue in front of him, each with three assault boats on it. The soldiers of the engineer battalion jumped up and down on the vehicles before and after running, braving the heavy rain to fix those assault boats. .

"Squadron Captain!" Zhang Wei, the company commander of the Zhouqiao Company, trotted over and saluted Zhou Huping, "We will set off in half an hour. How many people did you bring?"

Zhou Huping said: "All of them are here, one hundred and twenty-three."

Zhang Wei wiped the rain off his face and said loudly: "Okay! Enough! Later we will go to Paizhou, you will send 80 people to board the boat, and each assault boat will put two soldiers, and our soldiers will be responsible for it. Drive, your officers are in charge of saving people, and the rest of the soldiers will serve as logistical support teams on the shore, and when they come back, they will be responsible for helping to carry them to a nearby temporary resettlement site, or transfer them to the medical team."

Zhou Huping nodded and said: "Okay, now our squadron is listening to your command, this is your old line, we just cooperate!"

Due to sea training, Zhouqiao even carried a lot of assault boats, and this flood fight was completely useful.

An hour later, the convoy began to set off.

Zhuang Yan sat in the dark carriage again.

In addition to comrades-in-arms, there were also a few sappers from the boat bridge company on his car.

Everyone was talking about where to go and what to do.

save people?

When he learned the nature of the mission, the solemn blood heated up again.

But when he learned about the situation on Paizhou's side, his heart sank again.

So many army officers and soldiers and local people were washed away by the flushing water, and they were in the disaster-stricken areas where they could not see their fingers.

Needless to say, the danger here is something that everyone can imagine.

The speed of the team has been accelerated as much as possible.

However, due to the torrential rain for several days, some national highways were even submerged in water, and after shaking in the carriage for more than three hours, the rescue team of the engineer battalion and the teaching brigade arrived at Paizhou.

The convoy stopped at a Jiangdu wharf.

All the headlights were turned on, and the battalion cranes began to hoist down the storm suits and slowly lower them into the water.

There were people everywhere on the pier.

There were already other troops who arrived earlier than Zhuang Yan and others, and even some assault boats were docked one after another.

Each boat was packed with people, reaching the limit of the number of people it could carry.

The troops' assault boats generally can only seat 12 people, but some of the assault boats that came back from the breach area actually packed fifteen or six people.

The water level almost didn't reach the top of the charging ship's side, causing Zhuang Yan to take a deep breath.

However, he saw no fear in the soldiers of the other units.

Perhaps, everyone has forgotten the fear.

Every minute that passes, more people in the entire breach area will lose their chance to live. This is a race against time and against death!

"Zhuang Yan, Wang Datong!" Zhou Huping named the two people's names.

"arrive!"

"Remember, you two, to obey the command of the sappers, you just cooperate with them and obey the orders!"

"Yes!"

No rhetoric, no time to explain details, time is life.

The two jumped aboard immediately.

The boat operator of the engineer battalion immediately turned the handle, and with the roar of the motor, the bow of the assault boat was gently raised and drove towards the depths of the darkness.

There were five people on board, two soldiers from the engineer battalion, and one local female cadre.

The five quickly introduced themselves to each other on the boat.

The soldier in charge of the boat was a senior soldier named Tan Yanming; the other sergeant and squad leader was named Huang Hanrui, and that local cadre was from Paizhou, named Jiang Wenying, a female cadre and the female director of a local village.

"Squad Leader Huang, Director Jiang, what are you looking at!?"

"The map of this area." Huang Hanrui pointed to the map and said, "Director Jiang said, in this area, the assault boats of other troops have already searched there. According to the scope of our responsibility, the location is here—"

He turned the military map to the front of the solemn ~www.novelmt.com~ solemnly studied military topography, and when he saw the dense markings on it, he immediately took a breath of air.

According to the calibration on the map, it turned out to be all farmland and houses, but at this time, where is the shadow of farmland? What you can still see on the water are some roofs and tree crowns. This water depth reaches at least three or four meters...

Moreover, the current is very fast, and the water level of the Yangtze River above the ground is constantly gushing out through the breach.

Tan Yanming must control the assault boat, neither too fast nor too slow.

If it is fast, it is easy to hit the underwater obstacles, causing the ship to be destroyed; if it is slow, it will be pushed back by the current and cannot move forward at all.

"This is really...what kind of sin..."

Looking at the flooded area in front of her, Jiang Wenying finally couldn't help it. She covered her face and started crying.
