Chapter 140: Arrive
This side is just one place.
In several other places, there were dozens of people.
They were all trapped on rooftops or high up on hillsides.
However, as the water level continues to rise, the impact of floods is getting stronger and stronger, and houses may be washed away at any time.
Most of these are old people, children and women, and few of them can swim.
Once it falls, you will escape death.
The heavy rain was still falling, and various items continued to float down from the middle and upper reaches.
Wooden boards, plastic, furniture, things like that.
The floodwaters were extremely turbid and formed small whirlpools in many places.
The entire sky was extremely dark, and from a distance, it looked like the end of the world.
No wonder the villagers are scared!
Another half hour passed.
The water level has risen by tens of centimeters, and the end current has become larger and larger.
At present, only a few houses with people standing on them can be seen, and people can be seen standing on them.
All other houses have been flooded.
Even the telegraph pole can only see one end!
At the scene, there was an endless stream of children crying.
The women's eyes have been crying, and even the grown men's eyes are dominated by fear at this moment.
Now, they have less than a meter of rising water!
The dozen or so people on a low hillside have been swallowed up by the flood, leaving less than ten square meters of living space. They may be swept away by a wave at any time!
"It's over! We're dead!"
"I don't want to die! Someone come and save us!"
All the villagers were wailing.
However, disaster will not come just because you are pitiful.
Just when the villagers in Tonggu Village completely gave up their struggle and despaired, suddenly, eighty-nine figures rushed out from the distant mountains and forests and stood on the shore!
Because the villagers are at a high place, they can clearly see the people coming!
"Someone is here to save us! Great!"
"It's the People's Liberation Army! It's really the People's Liberation Army! We can be saved! We can be saved!"
"Here, we are here! Comrades from the People's Liberation Army, come and save us!"
The villagers cried with joy, waving and shouting wildly at Tang Ming and the others.
But because they are quite far apart, their voices cannot be transmitted at all!
Tang Ming and the others also waved to them, making reassuring gestures!
The villagers felt hopeful.
At this moment, they felt that they were definitely saved.
This stems from their trust in the military.
It seemed that as long as the person wearing olive green camouflage uniforms (the camouflage uniforms of that period were all old-fashioned olive green) appeared, all fears would be defeated.
This is the Chinese soldier!
They are like the magic needle that fixes the sea, standing in China!
Standing in the hearts of every people!
In the eyes of the people, there is nothing in this world that Chinese soldiers cannot do!
As long as they are here, all disasters will no longer be disasters!
No matter where they are, the Chinese soldiers can rescue them!
They have this belief in Chinese soldiers!
And the Chinese soldiers have never let them down!
Tang Ming quickly scanned the whole village with radar and eagle eyes, and soon, he had a thorough understanding of all the conditions at the scene.
He said to the eight people in Wu Feng: "Prepare ropes, let's rescue the dozen or so people on the slope first! Their position is too dangerous, and they may be swept away by the rapids at any time! Hundreds of people on several rooftops, from From the current point of view, the floodwaters are not rising very fast, and it is still too early to wait for other people to come over and let them go to save us!"
Wu Feng looked at the dozen or so villagers on the hillside opposite them who were almost trapped in the middle of the flood, and then looked at the rapids. He couldn't help but frown and said: "Platoon leader, where they are, there happens to be a large slope that was washed down by the flood. The speed is very fast! Our life raft cannot be fixed at all to row across it!"
"It would be okay if it were the villagers on the roof above. The floodwaters above are not flowing very fast, so we can paddle across!"
The other students in the platoon also frowned slightly.
"There is no fulcrum on the slope. Even if we pull the rope over, it can't be fixed! Moreover, we can't pull them over by swimming. They may be swept away by the rapids at any time!"
Tang Ming said solemnly: "Give me the rope. I'll pull it over first. Then, I'll hold the rope over there and you go over and rescue the person!"
Wu Feng was stunned on the spot, "No, platoon leader, there is no fulcrum there at all. The current in this area is so fast, how can you possibly hold the rope?"
Tang Mingdao: "Stop talking nonsense! Just do what I say! Hurry up and do what I say!"
"yes!"
The eight people quickly took out the rope, first tied it to the strong tree behind, and then tied the other end to Tang Ming's body.
Without saying a word, Tang Ming plunged directly into the flood.
Just like before, he quickly sank to the bottom, used his climbing skills, and climbed forward quickly.
With the previous precedent, Wu Feng and others were not too worried about Tang Ming.
The rapids in the river were stronger than here before, and Tang Mingdu was fine. Now, there will be no problem.
Sure enough, in less than ten seconds, Tang Ming had already pulled the rope and jumped out of the water, onto the slope!
The dozen or so villagers were startled when they saw a person suddenly appear.
But when they saw Tang Ming in military uniform, everyone became excited.
As expected of our people's soldiers, they are amazing!
You can swim here!
