Chapter 506 Trapped
In the early hours of the morning, the entire Red Jiulian was still asleep. They were busy until two o'clock yesterday and had to stop to rest after they used up all the sandbags on hand.In fact, according to the company commander Hu Jianfeng, if there are sandbags, it is no problem to work all night.

However, the soldiers were not made of iron after all. Looking at those tired faces, Hu Jianfeng really couldn't bear to let them continue working.

He chose a place that was relatively higher and the embankment looked more stable, and let the soldiers rest. Hu Jianfeng contacted Qianzhi again, but there was no reply from Qianzhi.

Hu Jianfeng had no choice but to send patrols and sentries, and rest first.

The rain gradually became lighter, but the rising momentum of the river did not stop for a moment.The re-strengthened sub-dikes held back the flood, but in a few places, the water seeped through the sandbags and slowly overflowed the dikes.

Zhuo Zixuan is the sentinel at this moment.

He is from the Northwest. He was a college student before he joined the army. He had just been admitted to Shaanxi Normal University, so he signed up directly at the school and joined the army.

Being a soldier was the long-cherished wish of his parents and also his ideal. Not being admitted to the military academy was his biggest regret in the year of the college entrance examination.

However, after learning about the policy in detail, he couldn't wait to choose college students to enlist in the army—although he can also choose to join the army when he graduates, but it will take three years to graduate. Wouldn't it be better to get promoted or directly choose to enter the military academy?

There is a shortage of water in the northwest, and although there is a river near the post where the troops are stationed, it is not like this.

When I was very young, I wondered if I could take a look at the Yangtze River. Now my wish has come true, but I never thought it would be the first meeting like this.

There are three small water seepages, one small pipeline, and a large pipeline far away. This has been marked by the instructor, and the company has no way to deal with it—even the most basic supplies have not been delivered yet. , It is in vain for people to go down.

Slowly walking back and forth on the embankment, trying not to affect everyone's rest, but Zhuo Zixuan did not dare to relax in the slightest. Even though he was sleepy and tired, he knew that the lives of the whole company and the whole company were tied to him. The safety of the dam.

Turning his head and glanced at the small second floor where the light was still on in the distance, Zhuo Zixuan spat in disgust and continued to inspect the embankment.

Soon, Zhuo Zixuan felt that something was wrong, the river was rising too fast!

The feet are not only muddy, but muddy water. Every time the waves hit, the embankment will vibrate slightly, and this tremor seems to be stronger every time than the last time!

Do you want to wake up the company commander?
Zhuo Zixuan hesitated in his heart. Everyone just fell asleep for less than half an hour, and they were all too tired. The constant snoring made him a little unbearable, but...

He suddenly heard the sound of water bubbling in the distance, and he took the emergency light to shine on it, and saw that the relatively large pipe was spraying water out of the embankment now!
"Company commander! There is a problem with the embankment!"

Subconsciously, Zhuo Zixuan yelled, and ran to the camping place while yelling!
Hu Jianfeng woke up in a jerk, and when he heard the cry, he jumped up subconsciously. When he saw Zhuo Zixuan's anxious face and the direction he was pointing, he immediately understood what happened, raised his hand and blew the emergency whistle. Then he shouted: "All companies gather!"

Although the soldiers of the Red Ninth Company were exhausted, they had already adapted to this emergency assembly—these days, dealing with dangerous situations at night or while resting did not happen occasionally.

"Stay in the third row, keep the first row and the second row, block the water with me!" Hu Jianfeng ordered directly, and when he was about to leave, he was pulled back by the instructor Hao Yunpeng: "Old Hu, you can't go!"

Hu Jianfeng threw Hao Yunpeng away, and was just about to speak when he heard a "boom", and the part of the tube collapsed...

"Report to your superior!" Hu Jianfeng's face changed drastically, "Everyone follow me!"

With manpower alone, this small number of people can't fill the opening that is more than ten meters wide and still expanding. Now it must be moved, otherwise, the people of Hong Jiulian will be in trouble!
Just after running more than 100 meters forward, there was a sudden "boom" in front, and everyone stopped.

The embankment in front also collapsed!
The floodwaters on both sides quickly gathered under the embankment and flooded the village below.

The small second floor, where the light was on just now, is off...

……

At dawn, the people of Hongjiulian were trapped on the embankment that was less than 200 meters away.Floods all around.

Less than 100 people gathered in this small space, looking a little supportive.The big-hearted people simply closed their eyes and rested, but many recruits were nervous and couldn't fall asleep at all.

The rain is still falling, the dark clouds are still very low, the occasional lightning flashes across the sky, and the thunder comes, but there is no wave.

"It has been reported to the superior." Sitting next to Hu Jianfeng were the instructor Hao Yunpeng and the deputy company commander Guan Haishan. It’s bad, I can’t walk fast at all. People from two nearby brother companies were supposed to come to our place to defend together, but they were sent by the former to divert the masses on the way. At present, we can only wait here..."

"What are you waiting for?" Although Hao Yunpeng is an instructor and does ideological work, he is the one who is most angry at the moment. "When the professionals repair the dam and we go there, should we send a boat to pick us up?"

"Maybe there will be helicopters." Hu Jianfeng knew Hao Yunpeng's temper, and explained along his words, "But this weather..." Before he finished speaking, he turned to ask the deputy company commander Guan Haishan, "How much supplies do we have now?"

"There are still ten small barrels of compressed dry food." Guan Haishan reported the number, "Three hundred pieces of self-heating food for field battles - originally they came here this morning to give away, but..."

He turned his head and glanced at what should have been the road on the embankment. The section of the breach that had been cut off by more than 50 meters was at this time. Although the road was vaguely visible on the opposite side and there were cars, there was no way to send things over.

"It can last for about one to two days..." Hu Jianfeng looked up at the sky, "If it doesn't rain tomorrow, the fore finger will apply for a helicopter to come over, whether it's giving it to a foster or picking us up, it's easy to handle..."

However, can the rain stop?

……

Lin Dong and his party of three cars have already arrived at the town where the front finger was transferred.

The other two vehicles have already found the target in need of help, and they drove directly to the temporary resettlement site of the affected people.

Lin Dong inquired all the way, and went in the direction pointed forward.

He felt that it was necessary for him to understand the situation of the disaster before making a decision on which direction to go for rescue.
