Special Years

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Zhuang Yan was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to comfort the woman who was crying bitterly.

Jiang Wenying continued to cover her face and cry bitterly: "My uncle, second master, third master, they and their families are still inside, and they didn't run out..."

Zhuang Yan didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him: "Eldest sister, your old man is lucky, it must be fine... Look, we have so many troops here to search and rescue now, and we will be able to find them soon..."

Jiang Wenying said: "I persuaded them before the levee broke, and told them to go to the relatives' house in the county to avoid it first, but they just didn't listen... Just a few days ago, the levee here was overflowing, and then the PLA came to block it. , When the PLA left, we were all afraid, afraid that there would still be control, but I didn't expect that something really happened..."

He asked solemnly, "Is there no one on your side who is in charge of inspections?"

Jiang Wenying said: "Yes, but it doesn't work. The junction is in the middle of the two villages, but the number of local rescue teams organized is simply not enough. If something happens, I will notify the People's Liberation Army. The embankment will have burst before I arrive..."

Zhuang Yan suddenly took a breath and asked, "Eldest sister, do you know how many PLA troops went in today?"

Jiang Wenying wiped away her tears, thought for a while, then suddenly burst into tears and said, "I asked the people who escaped here, and they said that two PLA teams entered before the embankment burst, about a few hundred people, and it is estimated that Before reaching the embankment, it burst..."

The hearts of the soldiers on the ship suddenly cooled down.

Under such a wide-ranging breach, people who work part-time in front of floods are not as good as ants, and cars can drown you, let alone people.

The flood that burst the embankment flowed very fast, almost like a huge wave, which…

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan quickly grabbed his thoughts.

He didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it.

In the dark night, facing the overwhelming flood, how many chances do the hundreds of comrades in arms have to survive?

Now, not only the troops where the solemn is located, but also the surrounding troops, as long as there are assault boats, they all come here.

But more than five hours have passed since the break at 8:20.

Can they last more than five hours?

…

Along with Zhuang Yan and the others, there are also various units of different military branches.

Different teams rushed to Jiayu County from all directions.

Around the flood area, all rescue forces were mobilized.

At midnight, 70 officers and soldiers from the Hubei Provincial Fire Brigade of the Armed Police arrived with 6 assault boats...

At 3:30, a certain department of the Zhouqiao Brigade of the G Military Region arrived with 68 of the latest field assault boats, and quickly launched the rescue.

At 4 o'clock, the local government directly mobilized more than a dozen barges and drove them to different locations in the flood area to transport the rescued people...

A certain unit of the Army Aviation Corps took off 9 sorties in 3 batches that night, arrived over Paizhou, and urgently dropped 30,000 life jackets into the water.

It was just a sleepless night, and the most tragic night in the 98 flood fight.

That night, the troops invested a total of more than 3,000 rescue troops.

Every soldier, local cadre, and the masses who participated in the rescue were praying silently in their hearts.

In order to save the space on the assault boat and save a few more people or comrades as soon as possible, Ma Dezhong, the black-faced deputy brigade commander in charge of the rescue frontline commander, faced the hundreds of reporters who had already gathered on the embankment. Eyes roared: "Reporters can't all get on the boat! All those who are disobedient are **** for me!"

These uncrowned kings with cameras and camera equipment suddenly fell silent in front of the **** lieutenant colonel. They only sent a few representatives, and the rest stayed on the shore to wait for news.

Before the rescue team arrived, in the flooded area, scenes of life and death had already been staged.

At 19:00 that night, receiving an urgent request for help from the local defense chief, 199 soldiers from a certain battalion of the Zhouqiao Brigade of the G Military Region and 176 soldiers from a certain battalion of an antiaircraft artillery regiment of the Air Force completed the boarding and departure within 3 minutes.

The 15 vehicles set off in a mighty way, and the road surface has gradually accumulated water, and there are constantly people running in the opposite direction from both sides of the road.

"Break the embankment! Run!"

Someone shouted in panic in the dark.

However, the convoy did not turn around, but drove towards the earth along the established route.

At 8:25, the motorcade joined the motorcade of Major General Dai Yingzhong, 55, director of the Political Department of the Provincial Military Region, near a highland in Paizhou.

General Dai looked around, and he knew that the Paizhou Embankment was already in an extremely dangerous state of piping.

But isn't the military supposed to be in the most dangerous place when disaster strikes?

What's more, the general defense has already issued an order.

Soldiers, it is a duty to obey orders!

He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Follow the boat and bridge brigade and hurry up. There are road signs on both sides of the road. Follow the road signs to reach the embankment and block the pipes!"

Once again the convoy was heading towards the embankment along the already flooded dirt road.

Drive in!

Keep going!

All the soldiers in the car clenched their tools, held their breaths, and stood ready!

As long as you reach the embankment, start the rescue immediately!

I am a bridge soldier, and my job is to build bridges and build roads, and block embankments. This is my old line of work.

At 8:30 in the evening, just as the convoy was approaching the embankment, less than 200 meters apart, the dangerous embankment, which was already crumbling, finally collapsed after the sand was continuously drawn away by the pipes!

Embankment! collapsed!

At the breach, the ten-meter drop in the water level generated huge kinetic energy, as if the flood gate was opened, the river water roared out of the original river like a beast that broke free from its chains, and went crazy towards the ten thousand hectares of fertile fields in front of it. Pounce!

In the convoy, Hongyan brand heavy-duty tractors weighing more than ten tons were set off by the flood like a matchbox and turned over several times.

A few hours later, the Yangtze River became like a row of waves here, tearing the breach for a full kilometer!

The flood that poured down directly submerged the entire Paizhou Grand Continent, swept away all the PLA officers and soldiers who came here to rescue.

When the flood just came, the commander of the car issued an order almost at the same time: "Take off the camouflage uniform, abandon the car and enter the water!"

"Hold the belt cross-body on your body, so it is easy to rescue!"

"Everyone forms pairs, good swimmers pair with poor swimmers, and help each other!"

"Comrades, we must maintain good physical strength, someone will come to rescue us soon!"

One after another, undisturbed instructions were issued.

The soldiers put the five people who climbed onto the car into a mutual rescue group of soldiers, and the driver gave all the car sponge pads in the cab that can be used as life-saving to a mother and daughter.

At the time of life and death, the spirit of sacrificing one's life to protect the common people cultivated from the core of the soldiers has been fully reflected.

Afterwards, the five people and the mother and daughter were finally rescued safely.

That night, when the flood came, when 15 military vehicles sank into the water, no one shouted any rhetoric. However, the principles of being a man, the responsibility of the soldier, and the interests of the people, these concepts were instantly reflected in every officer. And the hearts of soldiers burst out.

Before the soldier Zhu Haiping went into the water, a mother who was trapped with the officers and soldiers entrusted her 3-year-old daughter to him.

Zhu Haiping didn't even think about it, he took off his life jacket and wanted to put it on for the girl, but when he found that it was impossible to do it in the big water, he simply made the life jacket into a boat, put the little **** the life jacket, and lifted it all the way. Swimming towards a big tree by the roadside...

What would you say?

Is it just a life jacket?

When the monstrous flood has rushed in front of you, a life jacket is a life! It's the hope of salvation!

Give the hope of life to others, and keep the difficulties of facing death to yourself.

These are the soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!

Afterwards, someone interviewed the soldiers who were rescued from the flood in the Paizhou breach, saying that since the people and villagers who knew the information were all running out of the Dalu, why did your People's Liberation Army rush to the embankment?

The answer is simple, but also profound.

The soldier said: "Don't you always say 'Danger is an order'? We go to the levee, just to plug the breach of the levee!"

This is the People's Liberation Army!

This is the child soldier!

This is the most beautiful retrograde!
