Special Years

As a native of Hubei Province, he was until

Zhuang Yan stayed in Paizhou for four days.

In the past four days, Zhuang Yan followed Zhouqiao Company's assault boats day and night to rescue the trapped people again and again.

A few days later, the water situation eased somewhat, and the rescue forces assembled in Paizhou were enough to deal with the whole situation.

The No. 3 Squadron where Zhuang Yan is located and the Zhouqiao Company of the No. 1 Division received a notice from the Division Headquarters to return to City S immediately to participate in the flood fight.

Only later did Zhuang Yan know that the reason why Zhouqiao Company and the No. 3 Squadron were rushed back to City S was because the fourth flood peak had approached the Jingzhou section.

On the day they left Paizhou, the solemn convoy passed the convoy of the Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment. The solemn sitting behind the car recognized at a glance the captain Huang who was crying bitterly on the dock that day.

Company Commander Huang was directing the soldiers in the company to load supplies and prepare to evacuate next to his temporary station.

Captain Zhouqiao and Captain Huang, who were sitting in the lead car, knew each other, so they stopped to say hello.

"Captain Huang, where are you going?"

"Let's go to Chibi!" Captain Huang handed the thing in his hand to a soldier next to him and turned back to the Captain of the Bridge in the cab.

Looking at Zhuang Yan's team, Captain Huang asked again, "Where are you going?"

"We are going back to the Jingjiang section. Our troops are there. It seems that the fourth flood peak is coming soon." Said the captain of Zhouqiao.

Captain Huang said: "Pay attention to safety and take care."

Captain Zhouqiao said, "Yes, you too! Goodbye!"

After that, the two saluted each other.

The convoy continued to drive forward slowly, and when the solemn car passed the gate of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, Lao Qi shouted: "Salute!"

Everyone stood at attention in the car and saluted Company Commander Huang who was standing in front of the door.

Captain Huang returned the salute subconsciously.

Zhuang Yan kept looking at Captain Huang. He saw sadness in the captain's eyebrows, but he saw determination in his eyes.

Now, the entire section of the Yangtze River is in dire straits.

As Lao Qi said, now is not the time to be sad. For the soldiers, there are still many things to do.

Including the solemn, all the soldiers saluted until they could not see the company commander Huang and his company.

Zhuang Yan didn't know how Captain Huang would explain to the families of the soldiers who died in his company in the future. He didn't want to imagine the situation at that time.

Before surviving in the wild, Liu Xiangdong of the first squadron sacrificed. The scene when his parents came to the brigade, Zhuang Yan didn't want to watch it again, and even thought about it in his mind.

Just as Zhuang Yan and his convoy were rushing back, a major with a military rucksack opened the tent of the brigade headquarters in the temporary camp of the teaching brigade in S city in the Jingjiang section.

"Ouch! It's Old Wang!"

Zhang Jianguo, the deputy captain, saw the person coming, and immediately greeted him.

"Teacher, aren't you on vacation? Why are you here?"

Wang Chenglin put his rucksack on the camping bed, took off his hat, and said to Zhang Jianguo, "Isn't this the fourth time Hongfeng is coming? I can't sit still in my hometown, I really can't sit still..."

Suddenly he asked again, "Old Zhang, can I drink saliva?"

Zhang Jianguo quickly dragged out a box of mineral water from the bottom of the bed and took a bottle to Wang Chenglin.

Wang Chenglin sat on the camp bed, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

"I made it to J city by car. There were many blisters on the roads in S city, and the cars were parked. I had to stop a truck carrying things here. People saw that I was a soldier, so I It was delivered here. As a result, when I went to the vicinity, I saw that the road trucks that came in our brigade couldn't move, so I had to walk over by myself, but I was so tired..."

As he said that, he glanced at the pair of muddy camouflage shoes on his feet.

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Jianguo couldn't help laughing, "Instructor, it's not that I said you, you, it's just that you've been in the office for too long, the military cadres of our training team will not take everything in their eyes, A cigarette can run over."

Wang Chenglin frowned and said, "I said you don't need to hurt me like this, right? That's right, I was born in an agency soldier. I was a soldier in the agency, and an officer in the agency, but you can't underestimate me. , In the military academy, I also received formal military training."

The conversation changed: "What's the situation on our team now?"

"Situation?" Before Zhang Jianguo could answer, the curtain at the door was lifted again.

"Yo! It's Old Wang! I just heard from the correspondent that you were back, but I didn't believe it, so I came over to have a look." Wen Zhixing threw his hat on the camp bed, sat opposite Wang Chenglin, and lit a cigarette.

"Old Wen, how is the situation in the section of the river we are responsible for?" Wang Chenglin asked again.

Wen Zhixing said: "I just came back from a meeting at the division headquarters. We are under a lot of pressure. The ten thousand miles of the Yangtze River is in danger in Jingjiang, and Jingjiang is the most dangerous, and it is on our side. We have been here for almost seven years. Thousands of people, all opened here, it is said that Commander Tao and Deputy Commander Gong of the Military Region personally ordered the generals to send us and Tashan troops along this section to prepare for a tough battle."

Wang Chenglin said excitedly: "Okay! Then I'm right! The army is fighting a tough battle, how can I boost morale without my political instructor present?"

Wen Zhixing asked: "Old Wang, didn't you go back to work? You changed jobs at the end of the year. The quality of the unit is very important. It's a lifetime thing. Have you contacted me?"

Wang Chenglin said: "Not yet. Originally, my wife's cousin was a local bureau leader. He made an appointment to have dinner in two days. Last night, he watched TV and said that the fourth flood peak was larger than the previous three, and the Jingjiang section was very dangerous. I inquired about the people in the division and said that you are here, so after thinking about it, I still have to come or not, I am afraid that you will not do well..."

"Bullshit, without you Wang butcher, our coaching team will have to eat pigs with hair?" Wen Zhixing said earnestly: "Old Wang, I don't object to the dedication of soldiers, but the above has confirmed that you have changed careers, and it will only take two months. , you said that you, a semi-retired person, came to join in the fun."

Wang Chenglin waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk nonsense with me, I'll come as soon as I come, can you still drive me away? Now on the list, I'm still the political instructor of the 1st Division Teaching Brigade! You want to drive me away? Okay. , you go to the teacher and say it, he removes me from my name, and I have nothing to say."

Wen Zhixing couldn't help grinning: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not that serious. I'm just afraid that my sister-in-law has any opinion."

"When did a woman have no opinion? I have been in the army for so many years, and I am used to it." Wang Chenglin said, "I am about to change careers. Can't I make compensation for her as a cow and a horse for the rest of my life?"

He said again: "Okay, don't be sloppy with me. Tell me, how are you going to fight this flood fight?"

Wen Zhixing said: "How to fight? We have no way out, this is a tough battle that can only be won but not lost! Let me tell you, starting from tomorrow, the engineering troops of the Tashan Regiment will begin to bury explosives on the embankment of GA County. Now, a full twenty tons..."

He held up two fingers.

"According to the weather forecast, there will continue to be heavy rains in the upstream four, Guizhou and other places, and there will be heavy rains and floods in the upstream tributaries of the Minjiang River, Wujiang River, Tuojiang River, Jialing River, etc. After the confluence, they will pass through the hydrological point of the Yichang section tomorrow. Experts predict that it will be more than The first three times are too many, and it may break through the historical water level. In order to protect Wuhan, the General Manager Fang intends to make two-handed preparations and prepare to share dividends in the **** bombing in GA County. In this way, the water level of the section from Jingjiang to Wuhan will be lowered and Wuhan will be kept safe. "

"Exploding the embankment?" Wang Chenglin gasped, his face changed drastically.

As a native of Hubei, he knows the general situation here.

As soon as the Yangtze River exits the Three Gorges, it flies straight down like a roaring dragon, until Zhicheng gradually relaxes, showing a kind of empty artistic conception of "the mountains follow the plains, and the river flows into the great wasteland", which is also from here. At the beginning, to Chenglingji in Y City, this section of the 337-kilometer river was called Jingjiang.

The most deadly thing is that the terrain on both sides of the Jingjiang River is low-lying. During the flood season, the flood water will be higher than the ground on both sides of the river, especially on the north bank, and the flood water will be more than ten meters above the ground!

Therefore, a "hanging river in the air" is formed here, and the barrier that blocks this hanging river is the Jingjiang embankment that is more than 300 kilometers long.

Therefore, history has precipitated the saying that "the Yangtze River is ten thousand miles away, and the danger lies in the Jingjiang River".

After the founding of New China, the Central South Military and Political Committee established the Jingjiang Dividend Committee, which brought together military and political leaders, social talents and water conservancy experts at that time to build a flood diversion with an average width of 13.55 kilometers from east to west, 68 kilometers from north to south, and an area of ​​921.34 square kilometers. The effective flood storage capacity can reach 5.4 billion cubic meters.

From the map, the terrain of the flood diversion area looks like a gourd.

When the Yangtze River encounters a severe flood, the gourd will open the gates to release water and store the flood, relieve the pressure caused by the huge floods in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River on the Jingjiang River and Dongting Lake, and ensure the safety of the Jianghan Plain and the three towns of Wuhan.

However, several decades later, many of the peasants who were relocated have moved back to live in the flood storage area.

In 1997, the total industrial and agricultural output value here was 2 billion yuan, of which 600 million catties of grain and 360,000 dens of lint were produced. The profits and taxes paid alone amounted to 70 million yuan, 120 million catties of national grain and 250,000 dens of lint cotton.

And now is the beginning of August, the mid-season rice has just headed, and the cotton has just sprouted, which is the time when the growth is gratifying.

Once the **** is blasted to divert floods~www.novelmt.com~ This means that 130,000 households, nearly 530,000 people, 8 towns, 2 townships, 4 agriculture, forestry and fishery farms, and 212 administrative villages in the flood diversion area of ​​GA County will all be submerged!

How could Wang Chenglin not be moved by such a huge loss.

"God..."

He couldn't help but spit out two words.

"Old Wen, do you know what it means to divide the Jingjiang River from floods?"

Wen Zhixing drank water, looked at the ground with his head hooked, and said, "Of course I know, I'm not a fool, nor a reckless man, I know that flood distribution means huge property losses. However, the General Administration of Defense has issued an order to transfer the masses, We have less than 3 days to divert people from the flood diversion area and have to raise the levees during that time..."

Having said this, he raised his head: "Old Wang, we have no way out. If the engineers continue to blow up the dyke, everything we do will fail. If we want them not to blow the dyke, we have only one way. Don't worry, let them feel that we can withstand it and choose not to share the flood!"
