Starting from early September, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky.

Because the weather is getting better, the water level has been slowly falling in recent days and the flow rate has also dropped a lot.

Various condolence teams began to shuttle through the military camps. Except for sending fixed personnel and local patrols every day, the rest of the soldiers stayed in the tents to rest.

The team added vegetables every day, and the food was fine. Wang Dazui ate it every day and was full of oil. He smiled solemnly and said that it was like a starving ghost reincarnated.

This is a pleasant time.

The TV shows news and evening parties on the theme of flood fighting every day, with various leaders everywhere, and reports of disaster relief donations enthusiastically.

All of this actually makes it a distant feeling for the solemn and comrades in it.

In fact, as a soldier on the front line of flood control, I spent the past month in an extremely tense atmosphere. Every day, I was shocked by the sudden emergency gathering whistle and jumped out of the bed. As for disaster relief performances and donations, I had no time to pay attention to it.

However, during this period, I came to the headquarters art troupe and sang a few songs to the soldiers on the riverside to boost morale.

Several of them are big names, often seen on CCTV programs or evening parties, and their singing skills are definitely first-class. They don’t use microphones, and singing a cappella can make thousands of people present hear it clearly.

The dust settled, and the solemn heart finally relaxed.

This flood fighting, the troops can be said to have fulfilled their mission. The Yangtze River did not suffer huge damage due to this once-in-a-century flood. Even the 20 tons of explosives buried on the levee of GA County did not explode in the end. The local government is planning to bring people in the disaster area back to their homes.

The restoration of the embankment along the coast is something that is left to the local government.

Good news comes one after another.

On September 2, the Yangtze River Ezhou to Xiaochi resumed sailing.

On September 2, the President of China Construction Bank went to northern Hubei Province to study post-disaster recovery, reconstruction and other issues, and on behalf of the head office, promised to increase loans of 3 billion yuan to the Hubei Branch of China Construction Bank.

On September 3, Songzi went to Shishou and Sanxiaba District to resume flights.

That night, the "98 North Hubei Flood Fighting Front Forces 100,000 soldiers and 1,000 long scrolls" campaign initiated and organized by Chutian Radio Station. 100,000 soldiers and 60 generals signed the scrolls.

In those days, the layer of skin that Zhuangyan took off had grown new skin, itchy, red, and soaked feet and crotch began to heal slowly.

This feeling is even more beautiful than the New Year.

By September 5, the situation suddenly changed.

At around 7 o'clock that night, the sunny sky suddenly started to rain heavily.

Wang Dazui stood by the tent, smoking a cigarette and looking at the sky, shook his head and said, "It's not good to watch the sky at night...not good..."

Zhuang Yan almost slapped this guy to death on the ground. Now, what he fears most is a crow mouth like Wang Datong.

"Big Mouth, can you speak human words?"

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

It is indeed the number one crow's mouth in the 1st Division...

At this time, a 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 task, so you don’t need to bring a shovel and go out to gather in a raincoat.

This notice finally made Zhuang Yan feel a little relieved.

After the brigade gathered, Wen Zhixing briefly said.

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

The notice said that in recent days, new dangers have occurred in the Yangtze River embankment. On the 6th, three pipe surges were found at the foot of the Honghu River embankment. The old blockage of the Chibi embankment has been rectified and new changes have occurred. The notice also requires all localities to learn from this, beware of water receding and falling down the embankment, and implement new measures to investigate and rectify risks.

After reading the notice from his superiors, Wen Zhixing asked all squadrons to strengthen patrols on the embankment section where they were located. As long as they did not receive a evacuation order for a day, they would not relax their vigilance for a day.

Reduce water and fall down the dike?

For Zhuangyan, this is a new word.

If the water recedes, will it fall down?

After disbanding, Zhuang Yan asked Lao Qi, what does it mean to reduce water and fall down the dike?

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

I heard from an experienced old man living by the river that "when the embankment falls backwards", "when the water rises, the water falls backwards, and when it rains, the sky falls down", all of which say that the closer it is to safety, the greater the potential danger! "when the embankment falls backwards" has certain scientific basis.

The so-called water reduction and dam collapse refers to the fact that when the water rises, the body of the dam gradually receives the pressure generated by the high water. When the action and reaction forces are balanced, the body of the dam is safe; on the contrary, once the rain stops and the water level gradually falls, the body of the dam is like losing the "pole".

Because the embankment along the Yangtze River has been soaked in floods for many days, the embankment body is softer, and the sun is exposed to the sun, and the embankment body is more likely to fall off and slide during the warm expansion, causing a collapse of the embankment.

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

As the saying goes, "Those who walk a hundred miles are half ninety", "Victory will always belong to the last one". Being careless is always the natural enemy of victory. Whether in the early stage of holding your breath or the end of your victory, as long as you have a contempt for paralysis, you will be lost by the possible victory, loosen your strings, rest, take advantage of potential dangers, and eventually fail.

After the eighth flood peak, the weather cleared for several days. The water in the dike slowly faded, the water level gradually decreased, and the people in flood prevention were in a much better mood.

Unexpectedly, some places have breached and dams collapsed, and some places have caught off guard due to the lack of plans, causing threats to people's lives and property losses.

That is why the Defense Council issued this notice to remind the coastal disaster relief and rescue troops to pay attention to the situation of the embankment.

Good is not effective, ugly is effective.

Wang Datong's crow's words were once again unfortunately reached the point.

Early in the morning of the 6th, Zhuangyan was awakened by the whistle of urgent gathering.

"The Zhoujiapu embankment has breached and landslides inside. The situation is urgent. I will go out immediately!" Wen Zhixing, wearing a raincoat, stood in the center of the temporary camp, waved to the soldiers running out of the tent, "Get on the bus! Get on the bus! Don't gather!"

The solemn steps rushed into the military truck compartment without stopping. The sky was covered with dark clouds and dark. Sitting in the car compartment, the atmosphere was strangely tense.

Everyone was silent and looked at each other in the dark.

Sitting opposite Zhuang Yan was the old confused. The 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, maybe because of Wang Datong's psychological suggestion, he forced a smile out, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just a bruise."

Lao Mihu looked behind the car and murmured, "Yes, it's just a bruise..."

The convoy took half an hour to arrive at the scene.

After getting off the car, other troops and local emergency teams were already repairing the emergency. The commander of the troops in charge of this section was a regiment commander. He came up and said to Wen Zhixing: "Which unit is from?"

"1 Division Teaching Team!"

“How many people have you brought?”

"Three squadrons."

"Okay, divide two squadrons to the breach, and another squadron follows our car to the nearby stone yard. The breach here is very serious. If you want to throw an iron cage, you need stone!"

The large iron cage is the best material for filling the hole, which is better than filling it with a fully loaded car.

"No problem!" Wen Zhixing turned to Zhou Huping and said, "You take the Third Squadron to the stone yard, and the First and Second Squadrons stay here for rescue!"

"Yes!" Zhou Huping turned his head and shouted to his soldiers: "From me, come with me from the Third Squadron!"

Zhuangyan waited to get on the bus again. This time, it was a transport convoy of other troops, with more than 30 vehicles, specially used to load stones.

The stone yard is not far away, and it only takes twenty minutes to drive from the embankment.

Originally, this place was a private stone yard, but now because of flood control, all the stones have been wrapped up.

The stone yard is built on the edge of a mountain. The private owner has exploded a corner of the mountain, and the ground is full of stones of all sizes.

It is not suitable to use small stones to hold iron cages, and they cost at least a few dozen kilograms to come in handy.

The shovel was no longer used, so everyone just hugged it with their hands, and if it was bigger, they would use a hammer and iron chisel to chisel a few pieces, and then move it to the car.

The rain hit the raincoat and crackled.

Soon, the stone on the flat ground was almost emptied.

Some people started to walk under the exploded stone wall. The cliffs there were more than ten meters high, and they were all blown up by explosives.

Zhuang Yan didn't know how many stones he had moved, but the car in charge of the third district team was about to be filled.

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

Maybe, after doing this, there shouldn't be a gathering again, right?

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan added a little more force to his hand, and carried a stone worth dozens of kilograms into the car and threw it hard.

boom!

The moment the stone fell to the ground, Zhuangyan suddenly felt the earth shaking.

The loud noise scared Zhuangyan himself.

Of course, this would not be made by the stone I threw down, the loud noise came from behind.

I turned my head suddenly and saw many people rushing towards the edge of the cliff.

Lao Qi stopped others while rushing.

"Don't keep up, it's dangerous here!"

Something happened!

The solemn gaze darkened, and his head exploded.

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