"It's not as serious as using aircraft cannons. I only need two ships." Li Wen said.

"Ship?" Deputy Commander Cai frowned.

Li Wen said, "Yes, I want two ships."

"How big is the boat?"

"Above 30 meters is fine."

The local government leaders at the scene made a decision on the spot and transferred the boat!

Two local barges were quickly found and belonged to the two brothers.

The two ship bosses heard that they would use their own ships to block the breach, but no one raised any objection.

For the two boat bosses who have been living by water on the Yangtze River all the year round, the boat is a tool for making a living, and it is their half-life.

The two just hesitated for a moment, then looked at each other.

When the big brother's punch hit the dashboard heavily.

"no problem!"

Just three words.

It's neat and tidy, and it's quite a bit of a posture of swallowing mountains and rivers.

The two barges quickly sailed to the river near the breach.

No one present had ever experienced such a major breach.

In the end, whether these two large barges can hold the Flood by the throat, among the people present, perhaps only the water conservancy expert Li Wen has his own calculations, while the others have their hearts in their throats.

The difficulty of blocking this breach exceeded everyone's expectations.

Nearly 8,000 people fought here for two full days, but they were not blocked.

Hundreds of tons of food and hundreds of cars were consumed, but they were not blocked.

The two most powerful units of the 1st division fought their lives and did not block.

Only two ships, can it be done?

Not only the people present were suspicious, but even the solemn ones were suspicious.

When the ship comes, whether it sinks or not, it is up to Deputy Commander Cai to make a final decision.

Li Wen said, "Deputy Master Cai, look..."

Deputy Commander Cai didn't even blink his eyelids, the soldiers who have fought in the war don't have any trouble, and waved his hand directly: "Expert Li, do what you want, do what you want, do what you want, our troops will cooperate with you. How do you do it! If you succeed, I will give you credit; if you fail, the responsibility belongs to me!"

Li Wen's eyes lit up.

It is said that the scholar meets the soldier, which is not clear.

But at this moment, the soldier in front of him did not impose any restrictions on himself, but gave himself a reassurance first.

Li Wen said, "Okay, I'm going to go on board and command myself."

Deputy Teacher Cai was taken aback and asked, "What did you say?"

"I'm going to go aboard and command myself."

"No!" Deputy Master Cai didn't agree this time. "There is a lot of water at the breach, and there are even a lot of whirlpools. If you go, if you are dragged into the water with a boat, I can't be responsible!"

Li Wen smiled.

He was not responsible until this deputy division commander.

I dared to take responsibility for the breach here just now, let alone a dead person?

"Deputy Commander Cai, it's not that I'm trying to be a hero, it's precisely because the water at the breach is fast, there are many undercurrents, and there are many vortices, and I need to direct it myself. Otherwise, if the ship reaches the breach, if the angle is not right, then it will not be able to get stuck in the breach. , does not have the greatest effect.”

Deputy Commander Cai still shook his head: "No, you are an expert in the Three Gorges and a talent from the Ministry of Water Resources. I can't let you take risks. If you want to go, we have soldiers here who can replace you."

Li Wen smiled bitterly: "Deputy Commander Cai, I'm not a soldier, and I'm not as heroic as you. If I can't go, I won't force it, but it's a big deal, success or failure depends on this, a ship is not so easy to find. Come, this is not a car, you have a car, but it is difficult for you to find other replacements for the barges here, we can't afford to make mistakes!"

Cai Wenming was silent.

What Li Wen said was the truth.

As a high-ranking officer, of course, you can't even hear what's true or false.

There are two ships, whether it can be blocked depends on them.

Once a mistake is made, it is impossible to find the ship in a short time.

No one dared to guarantee whether the levee would immediately collapse on a large scale in the next moment.

"Okay! But you promise me, I will send a class to protect you, you can't refuse." Cai Wenming felt that he could only do this.

"The guard company, pick me a class who is proficient in water!"

Soon, tall and handsome guard company soldiers stood in front of the two wearing life jackets.

"Deputy Master Cai..." Li Wen didn't want so many people to protect him, and his low-key and introverted nature made him at a loss as an intellectual.

"How to block the gap, I will listen to you. If you say you want to get on the ship, I will listen to you too, but if you send someone or not, you have to listen to me!" After Cai Wenming finished speaking, he turned to the local leader: "Everyone agree Disagree?"

"Of course I agree! Someone must be sent to protect the experts!"

"Okay! That's it!" Cai Wenming waved his hand, and Li Wen was helplessly surrounded by a squad of guards and walked towards the barge.

The barge docked on the upstream bank, and in just 40 minutes, it was filled with sandbags and excavators by troops.

On the barge, the captain of the boat was sweating on his palms.

Different from sailing on the river in peacetime, this time it was heading towards a huge dam breach.

When hundreds of millions of cubic meters of water spew out from there, the water flow will form a great suction, and there will be countless undercurrents and eddies around it.

Even if the barge filled with sand and soil weighs 100 tons, it is still a dead leaf in the face of strong currents.

Approaching the breach, the ship began to lose control.

The captain of the boat firmly grasped the steering wheel, increased the throttle to fight against the water flow, and the red and black face was full of sweat.

"Watch out!" he yelled, turning the boat across the water.

Li Wen walked to the side of the boat, looked down at the current on the river, and directed the boat to position.

"To the right--"

"Let's do something—"

"Okay! Keep it like this, let the water take us there!"

A wave crashed onto the boat and pushed Li Wen directly to the deck.

The soldiers of the guard company rushed over, hugged Li Wen tightly, and dragged him from the ground.

"Dangerous! Go back to the cockpit!"

"No! I want to be here, the location is very important, otherwise this ship will be blinded!"

The intellectual Li Wen did not know where the courage came from. At this moment, he was no less than those soldiers.

The barge was getting closer and closer to the breach.

"Withdraw!" The captain of the boat shouted, "You leave first!"

Li Wen shook his head: "It's still a little bit..."

The captain shouted: "No, I can control it!"

The guard soldiers couldn't help but set up Li Wen and ran, got to the boat seat, threw him on the assault boat, and then drove the boat away.

Several soldiers responsible for scuttling the barge, along with the ship's boss, pierced the bilge, and then retreated to another assault boat.

Cai Wenming felt that his lips were a little dry.

Standing on the embankment, he could not take his eyes off the two barges connected by wire ropes.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw all the soldiers and the ship boss evacuated in the assault boat.

The two civilian barges were quickly sucked by the vortex at the breach and slowly pushed towards the breach.

Soon, the 100-ton barge filled with sand slowly sank and was sucked into the breach.

Everyone's breathing stopped.

Everyone is waiting for the final result to appear.

"blocked!"

Zhou Huping, who was standing on the side of the breach, shouted loudly.

Cai Wenming let out a breath of stagnant air that had been in his chest for a long time, and his whole body became extremely relaxed.

"Get out of the cage! Fill in the breach!"

The excavator of the engineer battalion roared and spewed black smoke.

Large iron cages weighing ten tons and filled with stones and sandbags were pushed into the water.

All the rescuers moved again, ran wildly, and threw sandbags at the breach.

Blocked by the barge, the current of the breach was instantly reduced.

Soon, the new levee emerged from the water again.

On the embankment, there was thunderous cheers.

The entire rescue operation lasted for 80 hours before it was over.

In those 80 hours, every second was a moving tear.

In the rescue team under the embankment, no matter whether it is the local people or the solemn soldiers, not a single person is not working hard.

More than 20 women from nearby villages voluntarily organized to join the rescue team. When shovels were not enough, they dug with their hands and packed sandbags with their hands. Their hands were torn, their fingernails were worn away, and stones and sand had worn away the skin on their palms, which were covered with stains. blood.

A veteran who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, his son was working outside, and he took his three daughters-in-law and five grandsons to participate in the rescue battle. Others saw him as too old and were afraid that he would be in danger, but he said that my old life had already died on the battlefield. It's been a few times, I'm not afraid!

There was also a soldier interspersed with the Hero Battalion. He carried two sandbags by himself, and fell on the muddy embankment. His face was covered in mud. Without waiting for anyone to help him, he immediately got up and put the sandbags on his shoulders. On the last one, he shouted: "Come on!" The people began to charge towards the embankment again...

The reconnaissance company commander Zhang Dagun, don't look at the arrogant cannons flying all over the sky on weekdays, **** a backpack and be the first to jump into the water to find a suitable piling point at the critical moment. Suddenly a wave rolled in, and Zhang Dabao did not see the surface.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance company panicked. Squad leader Li Erhu led someone to pull Zhang Cannon out of the water with the straps of his backpack.

Zhang Dabao was lying on the embankment, his face was pale and he couldn't breathe, which frightened the soldiers of the entire reconnaissance company, and rushed up to hold their company commander one by one and shook them violently.

"You can't die, company commander! You have an old mother, and you haven't married yet, so it's not worth it to die like this without touching the big girl's hand!"

Zhang Dapao suddenly came to life, spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, got up and shouted at a group of mourning soldiers: "Damn, what kind of scouts are you like! What are you afraid of!? , He said that my name is not on his book, so let me go back to fight the flood!"

The death squads that teach the brigade are all coaches, squad leaders and district captains, as well as elite veterans for the second year. Dozens of people~lightnovelpub.net~ dozens of hammers, tied with backpack straps and jumped into the water to strike iron piles wherever they collapsed.

Even the medical staff didn't sleep a few nights. For half of the 80 hours, the sun was blazing. In order to increase the salt content of the soldiers, they added salt to the mineral water, filled the embankment with the mineral water and ran after the soldiers. When they saw one, they grabbed the other and put them in their mouths. give some water...

The instructor, Lao Wang, is the one with the worst physical fitness in the entire team. Against a red flag, he stood beside the soldiers in the water and cheered. He stood from night to dawn. When he saw the darkness, he fell into the water. When he was dragged up, his body was stiff, and it took a while to be rescued...

Deputy Commander Cai stood outside the temporary command post, looked at all this, and said with emotion: "Our army has a successor! There is a successor!"

This veteran who has participated in the war, after saying these words, turned his face away, brushed his hand on the corner of his eye a few times, but did not dare to turn his head to let others see his face.

If you are a bystander, when you stand on the embankment of 98 rescue, your soul will be thoroughly baptized once.

When you come down from the embankment, you will feel that there are too many precious things in this world that are worth protecting, worthy of publicity, and worth protecting for a lifetime.
