Chapter 139: The platoon leader...was washed away by the flood

"Fellow! Are you all okay?"

Tang Ming panted slightly and asked the dozen fellow villagers.

"it's okay no problem!"

These villagers were really excited and anxious. They gathered around one by one and held Tang Ming's hand!

Tang Ming's arrival gave them hope of survival!

"It's okay! Don't worry, my comrades will come to rescue you soon! Just be patient!"

Tang Ming consoled him.

"Okay, okay! Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, you must be careful!"

An older man expressed concern to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming nodded, "Come on, please give way and stand aside! I'm going to start pulling the rope!"

After saying that, Tang Ming dragged the two ropes, then walked directly to the slope behind, squeezed his legs deeply into the soil of the slope, and fell back!

At the same time, he also used the adsorption ability of his climbing skills to press his feet firmly against the soil.

At this time, the flood also submerged his knees, but he didn't care. He held the walkie-talkie and shouted to Zhao Tao on the shore: "I'm holding you here, you hurry up and save people!"

"yes!"

Zhao Tao and others did not doubt Tang Ming's ability. After getting the safety rope, they started to jump off one by one.

Zhao Tao and the others came over and immediately increased the resistance. Tang Ming immediately felt the pulling force becoming stronger!

Veins appeared all over his body, and he used all his strength to pull on the rope.

Otherwise, if the rope breaks away at this time, Zhao Tao and the others will be swept away by the flood in an instant!

In fact, it was not impossible for Tang Ming to jump directly into the flood with a villager and crawl under it.

But the villagers trapped on this hillside are either old people, pregnant women or children, and there are only two or three strong adult men.

The water pressure below was so high, the flood was so turbid, and there were so many undercurrents that their bodies would be unable to bear it within a few seconds.

Tang Ming didn't dare to take this risk!

"Quick! Let us help our comrades from the People's Liberation Army hold the rope!"

The dozen or so villagers also took action, and each one of them tried their best to help Tang Ming pull the rope like a tug of war.

"Don't worry about it! I can do it myself! Save your strength, we'll get there later!"

Tang Ming shouted.

But the villagers didn't listen at all.

They couldn't help but watch Tang Ming and the others risking their lives here to save them, but they were watching from the side.

Because the flood here was not very big, Zhao Tao and the others came over soon!

"The elderly, women, and children will go first! Is that okay?"

Zhao Tao asked the two or three adult male villagers in their thirties and forties.

"no problem!"

Several people nodded quickly.

They are all from the same village, and which family does not have elderly parents and young children? !

"Platoon leader, just hold on, we'll be here soon!"

Zhao Tao rushed to Tang Mingdao.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry and save people!"

Tang Ming urged.

"yes!"

Zhao Tao immediately divided into groups and put on life jackets for more than a dozen villagers and put on safety ropes.

Then, each person took one and pulled them through two thick ropes!

Zhao Tao came with three people, and there were four people on the opposite bank. They were pulling and pulling hard on the rope tied to Zhao Tao, so that they could come over quickly.

Otherwise, with the physical strength of Zhao Tao and the others, it would still be very slow to pass with one person!

There is not much time left for them!

The floods are rising!

They must rescue people as soon as possible!

There are four people on a rope, resulting in greater resistance. The impact of the flood on the human body drives the rope downward, and Tang Ming and the others have to receive greater pulling force!

Fortunately, there were three or four people helping him pull him, so they could take some of the pressure off Tang Ming.

However, even so, it would take several minutes for them to rescue a villager.

The flood levels are also rising.

At first, the flood only reached Tang Ming's knees, but within five minutes, it had reached his thighs.

At this time, the hillside that originally had ten square meters was now less than three square meters!

"Boost!"

Zhao Tao roared.

After they successfully sent four villagers ashore, they immediately rushed over again!

After going back and forth two or three times, in the end, only four villagers were left on the hillside.

It was the four people who helped Tang Ming pull the rope!

At this time, the entire hillside was completely covered by floods. Standing at the highest point of the hillside, the floods directly covered their stomachs!

Now they are also very dangerous! It could be washed away at any time!

Tang Ming stood at a relatively low position, and the floodwater directly reached his shoulders!

In a few minutes, the flood would directly hit his head!

"Platoon leader!"

Zhao Tao and others suddenly became extremely worried.

"Quick! If you don't want me to die, take them away quickly!"

Tang Ming shouted to Zhao Tao!

"Yes! Platoon leader, you must hold on!"

Zhao Tao shouted, telling the remaining four villagers to leave quickly!

Now, Tang Ming was under even greater pressure!

Flood levels are rising.

Over his shoulders, to his neck, then to his chin!
