Chapter 568: Turning the Tide
The rain was pouring down, but the scene was at a stalemate. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
No one answered Cheng Weichi's words, Jiang Litao, Zhang Tai and others looked at Guo Feng, silently waiting for the regiment leader's instructions.
Guo Feng raised his hand, pointed to the surging flood in the Yangtze River, and asked, "Do you know the consequences of bursting the embankment?"
Cheng Weichi looked at Guo Feng and frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I don't care about anything else, if the levee you design can't last tonight, I promise you'll have a miserable life in the future. After saying something coldly, Guo Feng turned around and left here.
Cheng Weichi was obviously taken aback by Guo Feng's cruel words, and only reacted after a while, and suddenly blew his beard angrily and glared: "What do you mean?
Jiang Litao hurriedly smiled and invited Cheng Weichi to rest in a temporary tent.
Zhang Tai looked at the back of the head of the regiment and Cheng Weichi and the others leaving, and sighed.
......
Time passed slowly, until the day was about to break, and there was still no sign of the fourth flood peak.
Moreover, the trend of heavy rain has begun to decrease.
This positive scene made everyone feel a little relieved.
Although the spirit of the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and the People's Armed Police is still full of vigilance, the tiredness on their faces is obvious.
After all, the high concentration of the mind was maintained throughout the night, and the iron body could not bear it.
On the other side, Pei Sitao glanced at the time and said unexpectedly: "Boss, it's already five o'clock in the morning, are you worrying too much?"
Qiu Hai also smiled: "The three flood peaks can withstand it, and it seems that the quality of the embankment is still okay." ”
Li Qing didn't speak, he stood at the end of the embankment, looking at the water surface on the Yangtze River plane that was constantly washed away by raindrops, and a bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
In the past and present lives, is it really a thing or a person?
Just when Li Qing's heart was complicated, in the distance, someone suddenly roared loudly: "Here, the fourth flood peak!"
In an uproar, thousands of people suddenly straightened up their waists and looked at the surface of the Yangtze River.
I saw that the clouds were thick in the distance, and in the heavy rain, there seemed to be thunder and lightning flashing, and on the vague water surface, a wave, like a group of galloping wild horses, roared towards the eyes.
Soon, Guo Feng, Zhang Tai, Jiang Litao and others walked quickly, but the figure of the expert named Cheng Weichi was not seen at all.
Everyone stood by the embankment, looking at the flood peak that hit in the blink of an eye in the distance, listening to the roar of the river and the sea in their ears, and their faces suddenly changed.
"Hong Feng is coming! Everyone has it, get down!"
The rushing flood made Zhang Tai's pupils shrink suddenly, he roared, and then quickly fell to the ground.
When the huge flood peak hit the embankment, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the ground shook slightly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a bang, and the torrent on the river surface washed to the ground in an instant, and the force was so fierce that it directly caused several soldiers standing in the front row to fly away, one by one on the ground, constantly tumbling......
Everyone was stunned.
"How's it going?" asked in a loud voice, looking up quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person was stunned.
I saw a corner of the embankment not far away, a breach of about one or two meters, which suddenly appeared!
The surging flood on the surface of the river, along the small gap, continued to slope out, and rushed madly towards the ground.
Dozens of PLA troops in the surrounding area were blown to pieces in an instant in this surging flood.
Guo Feng's eyes were about to crack in an instant, and at this moment, he really wanted to slap the water conservancy expert a few times.
"Regiment Leader!" Zhang Tai said with a trembling voice: "Give the order!"
Guo Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Start Plan No. 1!"
The first option is that if there is a breach in the levee somewhere, everyone will quickly follow the established plan and block it with sandbags to prevent the breach from continuing to expand under the impact of flooding.
When the order was delivered, the 500 PLA soldiers who had been prepared for a long time picked up the sandbags in front of them one by one and roared towards the breach......
Countless figures rushed into the surging flood, but the impact of the flood was so great that it was completely beyond everyone's imagination, and many people just jumped into the flood, and they were instantly washed away more than ten meters away, and even fainted directly.
And in just a few minutes, the original breach of about one or two meters began to expand under the washing of the flood.
In the blink of an eye, the breach more than doubled.
Seeing this situation, Guo Feng squeezed his hands tightly, and then ordered loudly: "Plan No. 2!"
The engines of dozens of trucks began to start, rumbling towards the gap.
However, the truck didn't have a chance to drive into it at all, and the flood directly washed the truck away.
The flood was like a long dragon, surging towards the ground as the widening and worsening breach.
The situation suddenly became urgent.
As Guo Feng's orders continued to be issued, an old green train wagon was thrown into the breach under the action of the crane.
However, the flood was still as fast as a beast, and almost instantly pushed the train wagons away.
Then he rushed unstoppably to the ground.
Hundreds of camping tents were flooded in an instant.
Seeing this, everyone was blindfolded.
Feng's lips trembled a little......
The flood is simply unstoppable!
Retreat?
As soon as this thought was formed in Guo Feng's mind, he heard a whistling sound around him, platoon commander Zhang Tai gritted his teeth, the green tendons around his neck were exposed, his hands opened the bow left and right, holding two bags of sandbags, and quickly came to the breach, and then jumped down without the slightest hesitation!
In the same posture as Zhang Tai were hundreds of PLA soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms.
One by one, the soldiers were like dumplings, holding two bags of sandbags, and resolutely jumped into the breach to block the torrent that kept rushing out.
The current breach is not very large, and in the predetermined plan, hundreds of strong men should be able to withstand the breach.
At first, the few people who jumped in were swept away by the flood almost instantly.
But as more and more people jumped, everyone clinged to each other, and gradually, a long procession of human flesh was formed in the flood!
In the huge flood, the cars and trains were not blocked, but they were blocked by people!
However, the line lasted less than ten seconds before it was quickly dispersed by the flood.
The fighters were flooded almost instantly.
The flood began to rush greedily towards the ground......
This scene stayed in Guo Feng's eyes, making him slightly distracted.
Then, he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Battalion Commander Jiang, barge, quickly drive the barge over!"
When Jiang Litao heard this, he hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and kept commanding.
On the other side, Li Qing, Pei Sitao, and Qiu Hai, who were about to join the formation, suddenly gasped when they saw the picture of hundreds of soldiers not holding on for even ten seconds and being flooded in an instant.
"The gap is too big!"
Li Qing said silently: "Although it was only a small gap at the beginning, but now, the gap is about four or five meters, even if the boat is opened, it may not be blocked, the water speed is too fast, and the direction of the ship is very difficult to control." ”
At this time, under the urging of the battalion commander Jiang Litao, three barges gradually drove over on the river.
According to the plan, the three barges will sink in the breach, and after the current is reduced, other plans will be made.
It's just that when the first ship came over, just as Li Qing expected, the barge was sucked into the breach before it was put in position, and the huge barge was overturned in an instant.
The same is true for the second and third barges.
The water is so fast!
The situation is at stake!
All of them have a numb scalp!
After being silent for a while, Guo Feng suddenly asked, "Isn't there another big ship?"
"Yes, there's a big ship!" Mr. Jiang said.
As soon as the words fell, people saw a large transport ship comparable to two barges on the river, slowly heading towards this side.
However, when it was still nearly 100 meters away from the breach, the transport ship suddenly stopped.
Everyone was shocked.
Guo Feng said angrily: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Litao hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "I'll let him come over!"
However, no matter how Jiang Litao called, there was no response on Ulala's walkie-talkie.
Just when Jiang Litao was puzzled, he saw the transport boat on the river, suddenly turned around and sailed in another direction.
This scene instantly left everyone present speechless.
"This son of a bitch!" Jiang Litao almost dropped the walkie-talkie, and couldn't help but scold.
At this moment, Feng's heart was cold.
However, at this moment, a manual assault boat carrying three figures appeared next to the large transport ship.
Then, under everyone's gaze, one of the figures stood up and bowed slightly.
A figure behind stepped on the man's back, and with a little force, he jumped into the big ship.
Immediately afterwards, in less than a minute, the large transport ship, which had been turning a corner, gradually turned its direction again and quickly sailed towards the direction of the breach.
This scene immediately made everyone present cheer.
Guo Feng's face was slightly pale, and he barely squeezed out a smile: "Who are these three people?
Jiang Litao carefully looked at the two figures staying on the assault boat that was gradually rushing back.
After a moment, he was dumbfounded and said, "This ...... This ......"
Before Jiang Litao's words were finished, Guo Feng understood what he meant, and after seeing Li Qing and his bodyguard on the assault boat clearly, Guo Feng felt a sense of humiliation in his heart for no reason.
Of course, at this moment, this humiliation is not worth mentioning.
Everyone looked nervously at the big ship on the river.
In less than five minutes, the ship sank at the breach.
Due to the large size of the boat, the effect was immediate, the breach was blocked, and the current suddenly decreased.
Two men in life jackets swam to the shore on the surface of the river and were helped up by nearby armed police soldiers.
One of them is Li Qing's bodyguard Pei Sitao, and the other is a middle-aged man with a thin stature, dark skin, and about forty years old.
Time was precious, and no one asked what had happened to the two men inside the ship.
Everyone stood up with great difficulty, and according to the established plan, began to throw rocks desperately towards the breach, stacking sandbags, including throwing train wagons, steel frames and other debris.
It seems that the heavens have been touched by this scene, and the rainstorm has magically stopped.
The sky was dawning, and there was only a light rain in the air.
At this moment, on the ground not far away, there was a rumbling sound of cars.
Subsequently, hundreds of military trucks gradually came into view......
In the evening, under the guidance of thousands of PLA soldiers and more than a dozen water conservancy experts, the breach of the embankment was blocked.
The tragic incident of the flash flood of the Huai River a few days ago was not repeated in Shunbei City.
Xu Deliang, chief of staff of the Sixth Amphibious Mechanized Infantry Division of the Xijiang Military Region, praised all the soldiers of the 32nd Regiment on the spot for their spirit of fighting the flood and gave verbal commendations to Deputy Regiment Commander Kuang Feng.
The water conservancy expert, Cheng Weichi, has been imprisoned and is ready to be handed over to the people's court, where he will take the main responsibility for the shoddy dam project.
As for the flood fighting process, Guo Feng did not elaborate, and Xu Deliang did not ask in detail, except for the crew and Pei Sitao, no one knew about the situation that happened in the big transport ship.
Cai Jian and other cadres of the art troupe began to enthusiastically contact the group, preparing a grand condolence performance for this Shunbei City flood fighting, rescue and disaster relief movement.
That night, Li Qingwan refused the retention of Cai Jian and others, and left "Together Through the Storm" to Cai Jian and handed it over to the General Art Troupe for review, and then left Shunbei City with Pei Sitao and Qiu Hai.
No one knew that at the same time, Zheng Jing, an intern reporter of Xijiang TV who watched and filmed the entire flood fighting and rescue and disaster relief campaign, and her cameraman Qian Sen, also left at the same time.
As soon as the two returned to Xijiang TV, they were vigorously entertained by Director Yu.
In front of all the employees, Director Yu played the flood relief process in Shunbei City in the conference hall.
It's just that not long after the picture was released, a burst of surprise sounded in the originally calm conference room.
"That figure, why do I feel familiar?"
"Like a person...... Phew, it should be said, like a star!"
"What like, I'm going, isn't this Li Qing!"
"Is it really Li Qing?"
Director Yu heard the whispers coming from the conference room, pushed the frame on his face, and looked at Zheng Jing and Qian Sen in the corner.
At this moment, Zheng Jing and Qian Sen were also confused.
Li Qing?
The Li Qing of "The Masked Singer"?
The young man wearing a life jacket and sitting in an assault boat turned out to be Li Qing?
The two looked confused, their brains were obviously not in a state, and after being stunned for a while, after being reminded by others, they squinted their eyes and saw the content of the camera Li clearly.
The body is long, the skin is like jade, and the face is sharp and angular, even if it is shot with a long lens, the handsome facial features are still accurately captured by the camera.
Zheng Jing is stupid!
As a loyal viewer of "The Masked Singer", she can be said to be one of the blind monk's brainless fans, and at this time, the idol is in front, and she doesn't even recognize it!
Even more dumbfounded is Qian Sen!
Compared with flood relief, interviewing the popular superstar Li Qing is obviously easier to attract attention!
As for how Li Qing appeared on the front line of flood fighting?
And at a critical moment, turn the tide?
Everyone looked at each other, and this question will eventually stay in the hearts of everyone in the conference room.
