Special Years

Since the beginning of September, all kinds of gossip are flying around.

Because the weather has gradually improved, the water level has been slowly decreasing in recent days, and the flow has also decreased a lot.

Various condolence teams began to shuttle in the barracks. Except for regular personnel and local organizations to patrol every day, the rest of the soldiers stayed in tents to rest.

The brigade added food every day, and there was nothing to say about the good food. Wang Dazui ate his mouth full of oil every day, and smiled solemnly.

It was a pleasant time.

Every day, news and evening parties with the theme of fighting the flood are broadcast on TV. There are various leaders condolences everywhere, and there are reports of people from all walks of life actively participating in disaster relief donations.

All of this has a distant feeling to the solemn and comrades in it.

In fact, as a soldier on the front line of the flood fight, I have spent the past month in an extremely tense atmosphere. Every day I am startled by the sudden emergency assembly whistle and jump up from the bed. As for disaster relief performances and donations, there is no such thing as Time to pay attention.

During the period, he came to the Headquarters Cultural and Art Troupe and sang a few songs to the soldiers by the river to boost morale.

Several of them are big names and can often be seen on CCTV programs or parties, and their singing skills are absolutely first-class. They don't need a microphone, and the acapella can be heard clearly by thousands of people present.

The dust settled, and the solemn heart finally relaxed.

This flood fight, the troops can be said to have lived up to their mission. The Yangtze River did not suffer huge damage due to this once-in-a-century flood, and even the 20 tons of explosives buried on the levee of Ga County did not explode in the end. The local government is brewing Plans to prepare people in disaster areas to return to their homes.

The rest is the repair of the embankment along the coast, which is left to the local government to do.

One after another came good news.

On September 2, the Yangtze River from Ezhou to Kochi resumed.

On September 2, the president of China Construction Bank went to Hubei Province to study post-disaster recovery, reconstruction and other issues, and on behalf of the head office promised to increase the loan of RMB 000 million to CCB Hubei Branch.

On September, Songzi to Shishou and the Three Gorges Dam area resumed. Resume.

In the evening, the "98 North Hubei Anti-flood Frontline Forces 100,000 soldiers and soldiers signed a kilometer long scroll" activity initiated and organized by Chutian Radio Station, 100,000 soldiers and 60 generals signed the scroll.

In those few days, the layer of skin that solemnly took off grew new skin, and the itchy, red, swollen feet and crotch began to heal slowly.

This feeling is even more beautiful than the New Year.

By September 5, the situation changed suddenly.

After seven o'clock that night, the sky that had been sunny for many days suddenly began to rain heavily.

Wang Dazui stood by the tent, smoking a cigarette and looking at the sky, shaking his head and said, "Watching the sky at night is not good...not good..."

Zhuang Yan almost slapped this guy to the ground without a slap. Now, what he is most afraid of is a crow like Wang Datong.

"Big mouth, can you say something human?"

Before Zhuang Yan could finish his sentence, he heard a whistle sound in the camp.

Sure enough, the number one crow mouth of the 1st division...

At this time, the whistle sounded, which should not be a good thing.

But soon, Lao Qi came over and told everyone that it was just a gathering, not a rescue mission, so you don't need to bring a shovel, just wear a raincoat and go out to gather.

This notice finally made Zhuang Yan feel relieved.

After the group assembled, Wen Zhixing spoke briefly.

The main content is to remind everyone not to take it lightly, and read out a notice from the General Defense General to the troops.

The notice said that in the past few days, new dangers of the Yangtze River embankment have still occurred. On the 6th, the source of the river embankment foot joint in Honghu City was in danger, and the old blockage of the Chibi embankment had been repaired and new changes appeared. The notice also requires all localities to take this as a lesson, be vigilant of falling water and dykes, and implement new measures to check and correct risks.

After reading out the notice from his superiors, Wen Zhixing asked each squadron to strengthen the patrol of the embankment section where they were located.

Receding water?

For solemn, this is a new word.

When the water recedes, will the embankment collapse?

After the dissolution, solemnly asked the old seventh, what is the meaning of backwater and dykes?

Lao Qi simply explained the term in detail to the entire three-district team.

Listening to an experienced old man living by the river, "when the embankment recedes," "the water does not recede when the water rises, and the sky does not fall when it rains." They are all saying that the closer to safety, the potential danger. bigger! There is a certain scientific basis for "when the **** recedes water".

The so-called receding embankment means that when the water rises, the embankment body gradually accepts the pressure generated by the water height. When the action force and the reaction force are balanced, the embankment body is safe; on the contrary, once the rain stops and suddenly clears, The water level gradually fell, and the embankment body seemed to lose its "penny".

Because the levees along the Yangtze River have been soaked in floods for many days, the levee body has become soft, and coupled with the sun exposure, the levee body is more likely to fall off and slide down during the thermal expansion, resulting in rupture and collapse of the levee.

This situation often occurs when the weather is clear and the water is receding, and it is also the time when paralysis is most likely to breed.

As the saying goes, "those who travel a hundred miles are half-ninety", and "victory always belongs to the last one who persists". Paralysis is always the natural enemy of victory. Whether it is in the early stage of holding your breath, or at the end of the victory, as long as you have the mentality of despising Paralysis, you will be carried away by the possible victory, and you will relax and rest. If you rest, you will be taken advantage of by potential dangers, and eventually your success will fall short and your success will fail.

After the eighth flood peak passed, the weather has been fine for several days, the water in the embankment has slowly receded, the water level has gradually dropped, and the mood of the flood control people has also improved a lot.

Unexpectedly, some places have collapsed, and some places were caught by surprise due to the lack of a plan, causing threats to people's lives and property losses.

Therefore, the General Administration of Defense issued this notice to remind the coastal disaster relief and rescue forces to pay attention to the situation of the levee.

Good spirits, ugly spirits.

The matter of Wang Datong's crow mouth was once again unfortunate.

Early in the morning on the 6th, Zhuang Yan was awakened by the urgent emergency muster whistle.

"There is a breach and an internal landslide on the Zhoujiapu embankment. The situation is urgent, and you should be dispatched immediately!" Wen Zhixing, wearing a raincoat, stood in the center of the temporary camp, and waved at the soldiers who ran out of the tent: "Get in the car! Get in the car! Stop gathering!"

The solemn footsteps rushed into the military truck carriage without stopping. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was dark. Sitting in the carriage, the atmosphere was strangely tense.

All were silent and looked at each other in the dark.

Sitting opposite Zhuang Yan is the old confused. This guy winked at Zhuang Yan and asked in a low voice, "Your face is not good. What's wrong?"

Zhuang Yan had a bad premonition in his heart, probably because of Wang Datong's psychological suggestion, he forced a smile, shook his head and said, "It's alright, it's just a break."

The old man looked at the back of the car and muttered: "Yes, isn't it just a broken mouth..."

The team arrived at the scene in half an hour.

When I got out of the car, there were already other troops and local rescue teams doing repairs. The commander of the troops in charge of this section was a regiment commander. When he came up, he said to Wen Zhixing, "Which unit do you belong to?"

"The 1st Division Teaching Team!"

"How many people did you bring?"

"Three squadrons."

"Okay, divide two squadrons to go to the breach, and another squadron follows our car to the nearby stone quarry. The breach here is very serious. To throw iron cages, you need stones!"

A large iron cage is the best material for filling a breach, and it is even better than filling a fully loaded car.

"No problem!" Wen Zhixing turned to Zhou Huping and said, "You take the third squadron to the stone field, and the first and second squadrons stay here for emergency rescue!"

"Yes!" Zhou Huping turned his head and shouted to his soldiers: "The third squadron, come with me!"

Zhuang Yan once again waited to board the car. This time, it was a transport convoy of other troops, more than 30 vehicles, specially used for loading stones.

The stone field is not far away, it only takes twenty minutes by car from the embankment.

Originally it was a private stone quarry, but now all the stones have been wrapped up due to flood control needs.

The stone field was built on the edge of a mountain, and the private owner had already blasted the corner of the mountain, and the ground was full of large and small stones.

Small stones are not suitable for holding iron cages, at least a few tens of kilograms can be used.

The shovels were no longer needed, so everyone simply held them with their hands, and when they were bigger, they used a hammer and iron drill to chisel a few pieces, and then moved them to the car.

The rain fell on the raincoat and crackled.

Soon, the stones on the flat ground were almost emptied.

Some people began to move stones under the blasted rock wall. The cliffs there were more than ten meters high, and they were all made of explosives.

Zhuang Yan didn't know how many stones were moved, and the car in charge of the third district team was about to be full.

Each district team is responsible for the loading capacity of three vehicles, which is not a big project.

Maybe, after this time, there should be no more gatherings, right?

Zhuang Yan thought so, and with a little more energy in his hand, he loaded a stone weighing several tens of kilograms into the car and threw it heavily.

boom!

The moment the stone fell to the ground, Zhuang Yan suddenly felt the ground shake.

The loud noise startled Zhuang Yan himself.

Of course it wasn't from the stone he threw, the loud noise came from behind.

Turning his head suddenly, he saw many people rushing towards the edge of the cliff.

Lao Qi stopped the others while rushing.

"Don't follow, it's dangerous here!"

problem occurs!

The solemn vision darkened for a moment, and his head exploded with a buzz.

He jumped out of the car, ignoring Lao Qi's warning, and ran towards the place where the accident happened.

A few meters away from the place of the accident, Lao Qi and several other squad leaders formed a circle, with a huge stone in the middle, weighing almost a meal or two.

"Come here, help!" The eighth squad leader Qian Zhongjun's voice was trembling, "Quick! Those iron drills come here!"

Zhuang Yan quickly turned around and ran, found an iron drill, and ran back.

The eighth squad leader Qian Zhongjun snatched the solemn iron drill and pushed him back: "Enough people, go away! It's dangerous here!"

The solemn subconsciously obeyed the order and stepped back a few meters.

Suddenly, he saw the rain under his feet.

Why is rain red?

Winding and meandering, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com flows from the side of Jiefang Shoes like a small stream...

"one two Three!"

"one two Three!"

All the soldiers of the eighth squad and several squad leaders all put the iron drill on the ground and supported it with their shoulders, intending to pry the stone away.

Everyone was crazy, their eyes were red.

Zhuang Yan saw the old confused face through the gap...

His eyes were open, as if he was looking into the distance, but his pupils had already lost their spirits...

The rain is getting heavier...

The air is getting colder...

Zhuang Yan felt that a pair of big hands suddenly grabbed his throat, making him unable to breathe.

Time seems to have stopped.
