MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 669 A former hero (below)

   Hearing this, a young warrior couldn't help but ask: "Company commander, is it really raining that much? Isn't it too exaggerated?"

Company Commander Ma didn't take it seriously, and grinned: "That's because you haven't seen it before. You were probably still in elementary school at that time. The wind and rain were talking about that kind of weather. It was like crying, the canopy of the scraped tree fell to and fro, and the boss's raindrops kept falling, like a water curtain that could cover most of people's sight, and when I looked up, there was a vast expanse of white..."

Company Commander Ma was born in a big head soldier. He has learned a lot of professional things. His vocabulary and literary quality are very limited, but his simple description gives an indescribable sense of picture, which is matched with the sound of vehicles and howls outside. The sound of the wind seemed to bring the torrential rain that year to the front of the soldiers.

   "Then what?" Zeng Bo asked. Before he knew it, he had been drawn to the story.

"I can't remember the exact process, but I know that the secretary of Xian Wei in Fuyang County at that time also went out of his way. The intriguing dogs are pulled to the front of flood relief."

   "In order to unite these people in disaster relief, the county Weishu remembered that he had committed a large number of crimes, and was still scolding mother and jumping at the county party committee building. I heard that he almost beat people..."

   "Isn't Secretary Xian Wei the number one? Does anyone dare not listen to his speech?" The little soldier who had asked the question earlier saw that the company commander didn't scold him, so he dared to ask again.

"What do you know, in the early years, the grassroots management was very poor, and many townships and counties were local powers... The roots are intertwined. Don't interrupt." Company Commander Ma glared at him and continued, "The commander-in-chief at the river embankment was the magistrate of Fuyang County at that time, and he looked like he was in his early thirties."

"When we first arrived at the embankment, I saw him at a glance. I was wondering why the leader had someone to hold an umbrella, but because there were problems with the switches and communication equipment, he sent all the people around him. Some went to the radio station to issue announcements, some went to organize villagers to rescue themselves, some went to contact the transportation company to send trucks and dump trucks, some went to sandbags and earthwork, and of course, some contacted the county armed police squadron and the military region. , at that time more than half of the communication was cut off, and if they hadn't reported it in time, we wouldn't have arrived so quickly."

"As for himself, he was standing alone, wearing a raincoat, but his face was still covered in water, his trousers were rolled up, and his rain boots were just like ours, all muddy, like those who came to disaster relief after the disaster. The leaders who dig a shovel for a show on the scene are completely different."

"Just by looking at that, I knew he was a brave man, but I still didn't expect him to be so brave... At that time, there were not enough tools and sandbags to fill the embankment. In the river section, the embankment must be prepared for emergency use of sand, gravel and earthwork all year round, but as I said just now, the grass-roots management was not in place in the early years, and many farmers and earthmoving businesses would secretly drag away the sand, gravel and earthwork for emergency use.”

"When the water rose, the emergency earthwork was not enough, and the disaster relief team in the city was not yet in place. The mudslide in the mountainous area washed away the only bridge, and all the tractors and trucks transporting stones and sandbags could not pass, so we had to make a detour. , but the situation is urgent, and the embankment will burst before the sandbags arrive!"

"So he ordered someone to break the door of the store, take away all the tools needed, and leave an IOU from the county government. The only three trailers were carrying bags of grain out onto the river bank to be used as sandbags.”

   "Damn courage, even if the river bank is preserved and the grain depot is empty, he still has to take responsibility, but he emptied the grain depot without the slightest hesitation."

   "With these grains to reinforce the embankment, I finally gained precious time to keep the flood and beasts out of the embankment. On the other side, Secretary Xian Wei personally went out to lead the team to remove roadblocks and guide the reinforcements..."

   "Okay!" The little soldier who asked the question twice applauded, applauding the county magistrate, county secretary, and flood fighting heroes in the story, completely letting go of the fear in their hearts.

"I haven't finished talking yet, so please don't interrupt. In short, the river embankment has been preserved for the time being. We are carrying grain there to reinforce the embankment, and the county magistrate is not idle. Save your energy smartly, walk around, shout and smoke, so that everyone can see that the county magistrate is still on the front line of flood control, and no one dares to withdraw. On the contrary, the more you work, the more morale you will increase.

"You have never seen that scene, and there is no distinction between the armed police and the common people. If you have the strength, you will roll up your trousers and fill the river bank with us. The cadres go to various places to communicate commands by shouting and walkie-talkies, and the masses are behind. Waving the red flag to cheer for us is the first time in my life that I know what 'military and civilians are united in' means."

"After a few hours, I finally waited for reinforcements to arrive, and the convoy carrying bricks and sandbags drove over. Seeing the river embankment, we could hold it safely, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and the convoy was still a long way from the river embankment. At that time, a wave of flood peaks rushed over, followed by a pipeline, and the river bank collapsed more than ten meters in the blink of an eye."

   "At that time, my heart almost stopped beating. Damn, when the river bank collapsed, all of us would be flooded, and the flood would sweep the entire Fuyang County. Then... how do you say that word?"

   "A thousand miles across the country?" Zeng Bo said in a coherent voice.

   "Yes!" Captain Ma gave Zeng Bo an admiring look, "It's not as exaggerated as a thousand miles, but Fuyang County will definitely become Zeguo."

   Zeng Bo imagined the consequences of the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people and the separation of 100,000 families, and he couldn't help trembling.

   "At this moment, the county magistrate jumped up and raised his horn to shout. He said..."

Company Commander Ma closed his eyes for a while, imitating the heroic appearance in his memory and shouting: "It's too late to evacuate, since you can't run away, come and **** my **** thief! The big deal is that we die, protect the folks. Let's live, party members and league members first rush with me, rush!"

"After shouting, as soon as he threw the horn, he really rushed towards the embankment. His secretary and several cadres were startled and rushed forward to pull him down, but he held his hand, and then he Don't let go, the comrades in our platoon and the brothers of the armed police rushed up, holding hands and building a wall, shouting slogans and walking into the water, blocking the flood peak with hot chests."

   "Tsk, the water is turbulent, but my heart is even more turbulent. It overturns the river and the sea, and the magnificent waves are not enough to describe the surging of being a hero."

   Speaking of this, the tough guy was a little choked up, but the light that flashed in his eyes made people excited.

   "With the time we desperately bought, dump trucks and tractors came up, and a large number of sandbags were filled in. The large stones from the quarry were also put in to reinforce the embankment, and the embankment was finally rescued."

"Hehe, later, reporters from the city TV station and the provincial TV station came, and Secretary Xian Wei was interviewed on the embankment illuminated by the rising sun, but the head of the county was so tired that he collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, unable to move, and just lay down. by my side."

"I said, Magistrate Liu, you saved Fuyang County, and only you can save it in this situation. You are a born hero. He bit a wrinkled cigarette and smiled. He said that he had built a wall of people just now. I could see that you were afraid when you were in 2009. Actually, I was even more afraid than you. Where can there be such a natural hero in this world? The Internationale is still sung. There has never been a savior. This responsibility is at hand, and you have to bear it! Grit your teeth!"

"Report to the company commander!" Zeng Bo shouted, "I seem to have seen a report on this matter, and the People's Daily also gave a comment: The army and the people are united in building the Great Wall of Steel to fight floods and disasters with flesh and blood... It was 1998. ,Is it right?"

   "Yes." Captain Ma nodded and said sadly, "The secretary of the county Wei in the story is the later senior official of Nandu City Wang Baining, and the county chief is the later Mayor of Yuanjiang City Liu Xie."
