"Eldest sister, what's wrong with you?"

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

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

Zhuang Zhuang didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort: "Eldest sister, your old man is auspicious, he must be fine...... You see, so many of our troops are here to search and rescue, and we will be able to find them soon......"

Jiang Wenying said: "Before the embankment broke, I persuaded them to go to their relatives' houses in the county town to take refuge, but they just didn't listen...... Just a few days ago, there was a pipe surge in the embankment here, and then the PLA came to block it, and when the PLA left, we were all scared, afraid that there would be a pipe surge, but I didn't expect something to happen......"

solemnly asked: "Is there no one on your side who is responsible for the inspection?" ”

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 not enough at all, and the PLA will be notified if there is something, and the embankment will already break before it arrives......

Zhuang Zhuang suddenly took a breath of cold air and asked, "Sister, do you know how many People's Liberation Army troops entered today?" ”

Jiang Wenying wiped away her tears, thought about it, and suddenly cried again, saying: "I asked the people who escaped here, and they said that two PLA teams went in before the embankment broke, there were about a few hundred people, and it is estimated that the breach will break before reaching the embankment......

The hearts of several soldiers on the ship suddenly cooled.

Under this kind of large-scale breach, people are not as good as ants in the face of floods, and cars can drown you, let alone people.

The flood water that bursts the levee flows very fast, almost like a huge wave, which ......

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan hurriedly choked his thoughts.

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

At night when the lights are black and blind, in the face of the overwhelming flood, what are the chances of surviving the hundreds of comrades-in-arms?

Now, not only the troops where the solemnity is, but also the surrounding troops, as long as there are assault boats, are rushing here.

But more than five hours have passed since the 8:20 a.m. decision.

Will they be able to hold out for more than five hours?

……

Along with solemn and solemn them, there are also various units of different branches of the military.

Different convoys began to rush to Jiayu County from all directions.

Around the flood zone, all rescue forces were mobilized.

At midnight, 70 officers and men of the Hubei Provincial Fire Brigade of the Armed Police arrived with six assault boats......

At 3:30 a.m., a certain unit of the Zhouqiao Brigade of the G Military Region arrived with 68 of the latest field assault boats and quickly launched a 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 pick up and drop off the rescued people......

A certain unit of the army aviation took off helicopters in three batches and nine sorties that night, arrived in the airspace over Paizhou, and urgently dropped 30,000 life jackets into the water.

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

On this night, the total number of rescue troops invested by the army reached more than 3,000.

Every soldier, local cadre, and mass involved in the rescue was silently praying in their hearts.

In order to save the position on the assault boat and save a few more people or comrades-in-arms as soon as possible, Ma Dezhong, the black-faced deputy brigade commander in charge of the front-line command of the rescue, did not have time to explain any reason to the more than 100 reporters who had already gathered on the embankment, and shouted with red eyes: "The reporters can't all get on the boat!" Tie up all the disobedient ones! ”

These uncrowned kings with video cameras and camera equipment suddenly fell silent in front of the big black lieutenant colonel, and only a few representatives were dispatched, and the rest were all left on the shore to wait for news.

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

At 7 p.m. that night, after receiving an urgent request for help from the General Department of Local Defense, 199 soldiers of a battalion of the Zhouqiao Brigade of the G Military Region and 176 soldiers of a battalion of an antiaircraft artillery regiment of the Air Force boarded the bus and set off within three minutes.

The 15 cars set off in a mighty way, and the road surface gradually appeared to be waterlogged, and people continued to run in the opposite direction from both sides of the road.

"The levee has burst! Run! ”

Someone shouted in a panic in the dark.

However, the convoy did not turn around, but rushed along the established route in the direction of the earth.

At 8:25 a.m., the convoy met with the motorcade of Major General Dai Yingzhong, 55-year-old director of the Political Department of the Provincial Military Region, near a certain high ground in Paizhou.

General Dai looked around, and he knew that the Paizhou embankment was already in an extremely dangerous state of pipe surge at this time.

But aren't soldiers supposed to be in the most dangerous places when disaster strikes?

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

Soldiers, obeying orders is their duty!

He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Follow the Zhouqiao Brigade and hurry up." There are road signs on both sides of the road, and you can reach the embankment along the road signs, blocking the pipe gushing! ”

Once again, the convoy moved along the already flooded dirt road in the direction of the embankment.

Into!

Keep going!

All the soldiers in the car clenched their tools, held their breath, and waited!

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

I am a boat and bridge soldier, and what I do is the work of building bridges and roads, and blocking embankments, which is my old profession of expertise.

At 8:30 p.m., just as the convoy was close to the embankment, less than 200 meters apart, the already crumbling embankment finally collapsed after the pipe continued to pump away the sediment!

Levee! Collapsed!

At the breach, the water level drop of a full ten meters produced a huge kinetic energy, like the floodgate of the flood was opened, and the river roared out of the original river like a beast that broke free from the chains, and rushed towards the thousands of acres of fertile land in front of it!

In the convoy, the Hongyan heavy-duty tractor weighing more than 10 tons was lifted by the flood like a matchbox and overturned several times in a row.

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

The flood that poured down directly submerged the entire Paizhou Dayuan, sweeping away all the PLA officers and soldiers who rushed here to rescue the emergency.

Just as the flood was coming, the commander of the car gave an order almost simultaneously: "Take off your camouflage uniform, abandon the car and get into the water!" ”

"Wear the belt cross-body so it's easy to salvage!"

"Everyone pairs up, and those who swim well pair up with those who swim poorly, and help each other!"

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

One after another, orders were issued.

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

On the occasion of life and death, the spirit of sacrificing life and forgetting death to protect the common people cultivated by soldiers from their bones has been fully embodied.

After the incident, 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 grandiose words, but the principles of being a human being, the responsibility of soldiers, and the interests of the people, these ideas burst out in the hearts of every officer and soldier in an instant.

Before 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 think about it, so he took off the life jacket on his body to put it on the girl, but when he found that he couldn't do it in the big water, he simply made the life jacket into a boat, put the little girl on the life jacket, and swam all the way to a big tree on the side of the road......

What would you say?

Is it just a life jacket?

When the monstrous flood has already rushed in front of you, a life jacket is a life! It is the hope of being rescued!

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

This is the fighters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!

Afterwards, some people interviewed the soldiers who were rescued from the flood at the Paizhou breach, and said that since the people and villagers who knew about it had run out of the embankment, why did your People's Liberation Army rush to the embankment?

The answer is simple, but also profound.

The warrior said: "Doesn't it always be said that 'danger is an order'? We went to the embankment, just to plug the breach of the embankment! ”

This is the PLA!

This is the Disciple Soldier!

This is the most beautiful retrograde!
