They were all reborn and became firefighters again?

Chapter 285 The Water Comes!

Under the cofferdam, the direction to Beichuan has not dried up due to blockage.

It was a tributary coming from the side.

The amount of water is not large, but it also accumulates two to three meters deep on the original wide river channel.

Just two or three meters of water flow is enough to give everyone a headache.

We had to go down the river for 300 meters before we found a foothold at the foot of the mountain.

Fortunately, that lightweight firefighting lifeline has been tested by more than 800 people, and now everyone trusts it.

The four strands of the rope were tied into two strands, each contract was 500 meters long, and one end was tied to a huge boulder in the cofferdam.

When the evacuation began, Fang Huai took the lead in pulling two strands of rope, carrying his bag, and walked to the edge of the steep cofferdam.

"I'll go down first!"

The cofferdam reaches a height of 90 meters from here down.

It's quite high. Looking down, from the perspective of a thirty-story building, the trees along the mountain below look about the size of a toothpick.

Of course, the earth slopes are piled up, and there are still footholds, which are no different from the photos before departure.

At that time, everyone at the headquarters evaluated that although it was difficult to climb up, it was easy to get down.

At this time, Brigadier Jin was holding the 40-pound military satellite phone that the portable communicator carried, which was full of antennas and weighed [-] kilograms. While yelling into the phone, "Guaranteed to complete the mission," he made a "shh" gesture to him. , while waving his hand.

"Chief! Vice-captain Comrade Fang Huai is now ready to lead the team to evacuate!"

"Yes!" Brigadier Jin straightened his body again: "I promise to complete the mission! Yes! We will never leave any soldier behind!"

Brigadier Jin is almost a step, a report.

There's nothing I can do about it. The calls I received today are all of higher level than the last.

After receiving the call, Brigadier Jin stood up with the microphone in hand.

Since the headquarters contacted Beichuan yesterday and issued the order to evacuate the victims, the blasting of the Tangjiashan barrier lake has attracted widespread attention from above.

The Ministry of Water Resources also used satellites to detect the area, and conducted water accumulation calculations based on the information sent back from the scene. The results obtained were somewhat shocking.

Conclusion in eight words: A huge disaster, hidden in infancy.

Therefore, although the superior leaders were worried, they were very happy that troops were already handling the incident in Tangjiashan, and asked the frontline headquarters to race against time to quickly drain the floods and give the victims a stable environment to rebuild their homes.

In fact, superiors are not omniscient and omnipotent. Things in disaster areas, rescue, material support, troop deployment, highway repairs, psychological problems of victims, short-term resettlement issues, various reports, domestic and foreign attitudes, post-disaster reconstruction, everything needs to be considered. It's a big thing, but even with a small head and six arms, we can't cover everything.

Even if the report has been reported below, the intelligence below a certain level will not reach the busy leaders.

However, once the information came into view above, the speed of power mobilization immediately became smoother.

In the early morning, the second group of troops and experts directly commanded by the frontline headquarters were already rushing here from a township in Beichuan.

The command authority of their unit has also been upgraded.

Fang Huai didn't want a great achievement, he just wanted to deal with this disaster quietly and quickly. It was best not to cause waves in the hearts of the victims, but the wave of the entire incident was out of control and was pushing him to a higher place.

He doesn't want to think too much, he just wants to do things. As for the results, he believes in the existence of parallel universes.

Every time a person makes a choice, a new parallel universe will be created.

He will not consider which universe is beneficial to him, but will firmly choose the direction he thinks is right. In that universe, he will accept whatever he gains and loses.

Do things, do things.

This is the meaning of human life.

Fang Huai quickly lowered himself from the weir with two ropes.

The moment he jumped into the water, he seemed to be back to the morning when everyone planted trees together.

In the water, the sunshine is still good, the mood is surging, the laughter is constant, and the thoughts are firm.

Fang Huai swam forward somewhat intoxicated.

The dam that worries countless people is about to collapse.

In this natural disaster, he finally did something big.

Meaningful events.

……

"Get off! Get off! Those who come ashore, go up the mountain, quickly!"

The explosion of ten tons of explosives in this majestic mountain may cause some cavitation effect, butterfly effect, domino effect, Tyndall effect, Holiland retribution and so on.

Fang Huai could only try his best to take care of everyone and hide in places with vegetation.

Here, vegetation is the only cover they can find.

Brigadier Jin held on to the rope with one hand and helped the correspondent carry the important phone before getting down.

What follows is the second most important thing in the team at this time - 69-style 40-fire.

"No need to hide so far!" Brigadier Jin shouted as he swam over: "If it collapses, it's best to go back into the water and run downstream! It's better to drown than to be crushed to death here!"

Fang Huai's mouth twitched: "Commander Jin, you just came here to die, and you didn't even think about success, right? If the leakage succeeds, why don't you run to higher places and wait to be swept up here?"

Upon hearing this, Brigadier Jin couldn't help but look back at the monstrous dam and shook his head.

"Yes, yes, go up first, go up first."

Just now, all I could think about was "The time has come for the Party and the people to test us", and all I could think of was a heroic death.

The voices of those chiefs and some old chiefs who were concerned about the situation reached his ears. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even he, the brigade commander, was extremely excited.

Some people regard him as a mythical leader when he joined the army!
Captain Chen also received a phone call from the director of their general bureau himself, telling him to do a good job. He was also very excited now.

Fang Huai was very sober. Mainly because of his rank, he was not even a cadre. He didn't know his leader and would not call him to explain anything.

Even if there was a reward for merit one day, he estimated that he would have to wear an emergency rescue suit, not a military uniform, but a police rank, otherwise it would be too young to look at it.

One by one, the soldiers also heard that their unit was being reported by reporters outside. The report was reported to the people of the country, and they were even more motivated.

Their thoughts drifted to their hometown, to their parents and grandparents’ TV sets. They wanted to tell their relatives:

The country is in trouble, the people are in trouble, we are here, our soldiers are not in vain!
...

Am, 7:25.

All the soldiers came ashore and each team counted their numbers.

At this time, the team was all wet. When the morning breeze blew, many soldiers were sifting chaff.

No matter how strong your body is, if you don't sleep for a long time, your resistance will be a bit weak. In addition, there is no place to dry your clothes. Today, you can only rely on artificial drying. Some soldiers may have caught a cold. "All the first team is here!"

"All the second team is here!"

...

After confirming that all the people were present, Brigadier Jin found a high place again and looked at the huge dam.

"Signal Corps, prepare to take pictures! The scene will be sent to the expert team later!"

"Yes!"

The signal soldier took out his digital camera and went to a higher place.

There are eighteen bends in the mountain road. Here they are standing at the corner of a waterway. Fang Huai is taking advantage of this time to drive everyone to higher ground.

When everything was ready, Captain Jin shouted:
"Detonation!"

The soldier responsible for detonating took the remote control panel and pressed hard to unlock it.

Everyone was swallowing hard and feeling nervous.

Not so fast.

You have to press and hold the unlock button for five seconds before proceeding with the operation. This is a protective device. This deadly thing will not explode when pressed.

The unlocking is successful, the electric spark is transmitted, and the wire is ignited.

"Pass!"

On the dam, there was a place where the soil suddenly rose to the sky and scattered.

The first detonation point is relatively shallow, has a small amount of explosives, and is far away from the real detonation point. This is to prevent the explosive from being accidentally ignited and give them time to escape.

A burst of thick smoke rose from the dam body.

Ten seconds later, the real explosion came.

"Bang bang bang bang boom boom..."

There were hundreds of explosions, like fireworks at a grand party, and the sound of explosions was endless.

The further back, the louder the sound.

It was obvious that earth and rocks had been blown apart, and the muffled sound turned into a bright sound.

The ground also began to vibrate rapidly, as if someone was hammering down below, and the hammer was getting harder and harder, and everyone was retreating.

"Pass!"

There was a thunder, and the last extremely deep charging point was ignited.

The mountains above also began to splash with flying stones.

"Hide behind the trees! Find cover!!"

Fang Huai shouted, but dodged the stones and rushed to higher places, observing the movement of the dam body.

On the mountain across the river, boulders were rushing. A big boulder was shaken down, bringing up countless flying rocks.

Fortunately, the foothold they found was relatively safe. This mountain was driven by two mountains and was extremely stable. The vibration stopped quickly.

Everyone was also very nervous, and they were all looking at their legs.

There was no problem with the explosion. I saw that half of the dam body had been cut off. The entire dam body was full of pits and mud and rocks were collapsing, but no water was seen coming out yet.

Fang Huai began to chant a curse in his heart.

Water, come on!
As long as there is water!As long as there is water, it will be good!

Once water passes through it, no matter how small it is, it becomes a thing.

When the sand and gravel dam releases water, the water flow will hit the gap. The larger the gap, the greater the flow, and eventually a huge water outlet will be formed.

The tendency of the embankment to break describes this phenomenon.

"Is there any water coming down?" Brigadier Jin shouted, and began to climb up again, wanting to observe from a higher place.

"Still collapsing! Still collapsing! There is hope!" Fang Huai said, but his eyes were fixed on the dam body.

It was over a hundred meters high, with at least a half-height gap cut out.

The sand and rolling stones on the dam body are still falling, making it look so unstable.

There was still no water coming out, but no one was upset.

In fact, they have already won.

At least half of them were won. With such a big gap, they had at least cut off more than half of the 60 million cubic meters of water storage potential of the barrage. Mianyang, [-] kilometers downstream, was no longer in serious danger.

Unless the mountains on both sides collapse again and the gap is accurately closed.

Unlikely.

However, there is another 4 kilometers of Beichuan!

At such a high level, Beichuan will still be in great danger when the water reservoir is full!

After calming down and concentrating, everyone stared at the river dam closely.

"Come on!" Brigadier Jin couldn't wait any longer and said loudly: "40 fire! Go up and blast! Hurry!"

Fang Huai quickly pulled him:
"Don't panic! Ammunition is limited! Wait for me to go over and take a look!"

When Brigadier Jin heard this, he was furious. He pulled him back and quickly said, "Going over? It's very dangerous! It's so far away, and the dam will burst in a while. It will be a mudslide!!"

Now on the reverse slope of the dam body, no one can see what is going on. Although the rope tied to the other end of the explosion point is still there and you can swim up, the rope is unreliable no matter how you look at it.

The main thing is that the stone with the rope tied to it may not be reliable now.

Moreover, Fang Huai pulled the rope up to the dam. If the stone became loose, he would bring it all down, and then take the rolling stones on the dam with him...

There is also the risk of the dam breaking at any time.

Now in the past, there are many dangers.

But Fang Huai was made even more impatient by Brigadier Jin, and turned around and said:

"If we can't see the situation, what should we do now? Blank fire? What is the effective range of 40-fire? Where should we hit now?"

"Brigadier, I'll go! I'll shoot accurately, bring the ammunition, and go up to report the situation to you! I'll hit wherever you ask me to!" A soldier immediately shouted.

Fang Huai turned his head, pointed at the 40-meter fire carried by the soldiers beside him and said with a smile:
"That's it? I can."
