Chapter 151: Leaving home for everyone
"Send him down. He is our little hero. When his family comes, we must settle them well."
"Everyone else, please disperse, hurry up and build the second flood defense line! The heavy rainstorm is coming soon. We must turn the grief and anger in our hearts into strength to protect the people behind us on behalf of our fallen comrades! "
"Remember! If we cannot complete the second flood control line within the stipulated time, we will not only lose a comrade by then! We will also lose thousands of ordinary people!"
"So no matter what, we have to win this battle! Do you hear me clearly?!"
"Listen clearly!"
Everyone responded loudly at the top of their lungs.
Even though I was still sad about Xiaohu, even though I was afraid that I would suddenly collapse like Xiaohu.
But no one backed down, and they still rushed forward with all their strength.
Two hours later, the rain gradually became heavier.
The water level is also rising rapidly, but the second flood control line is still 20 centimeters short.
The physical strength of the soldiers has reached its limit. After fighting continuously for so long and being soaked in the flood, even an iron man will not be able to bear it.
But they couldn't fall. They had to grit their teeth and build the last 20 centimeters of the flood control line.
Everyone is supported by the perseverance in their hearts. If they fall, they get up again and continue to rush upwards carrying the sandbags.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there seems to be a big hole in the sky. The heavy rain is falling from the sky, and I have no idea when it will stop.
But for the people of the city behind them, and to protect their homes and land in the middle and lower reaches, everyone fought desperately.
At this time, they could no longer feel pain. Their strong perseverance and firm belief made them forget all their physical discomfort.
They are racing against nature and competing for time with floods.
Rumble——
Golden lightning flashed across the dark clouds, and the huge thunder stung everyone's eardrums.
Crash--
The heavy rain still came, and the wind blew so fiercely that the soldiers could hardly stand.
The rain hit their faces and bodies crazily.
They could barely see the scene in front of them, groping through the flood entirely relying on their memory.
The height of the second flood control line is also getting higher and higher.
eighty centimeters
Ninety centimeters
one meter!
Finally, when the floodwaters rose to the level of the first flood control line, the second flood control line was rushed to be built.
They won again. In this confrontation with nature, the people's soldiers won again!
"Commander! The rain is really heavy. Let the soldiers withdraw and rest for a while!"
"After being exposed to the rain for so long, even an Iron Man will be damaged by the rain. We have already set a tragic precedent, and we must not let more soldiers die!"
The leader of a regiment braved the wind and rain and said to the division commander.
"Order to go down, leave half of each class on the dam, and half of them will go down to rest first!"
"According to the rotating duty system, exchange breaks and replenish your physical strength!"
The division commander thought for a moment and gave the order.
"Yes!" The leader of the first regiment received the order and immediately went to convey the order.
Tang Ming wanted to stay and guard the dam, but was forced to withdraw and rest.
Because throughout the whole process, he was carrying four sandbags, and his speed was nearly twice as fast as others.
Others were afraid that something might happen to him and wanted him to withdraw no matter what.
Tang Ming had no choice but to obey the command.
When he retreated to the rest area behind, Wang Xiaohu's parents arrived just in time.
The clothes of both of them were very simple, even a little shabby, and they looked like they were from out-and-out farmers.
Wang Xiaohu's mother's eyes were full of red blood, her face was haggard, and her voice had already become hoarse. She must have cried all the way.
Although his father also looked sad, he was still strong. He supported Wang Xiaohu's mother and walked to Wang Xiaohu's body.
Wang Xiaohu's mother tremblingly opened the white cloth covering Wang Xiaohu's body. When she saw that familiar face, Wang Xiaohu's mother let out a scream.
"My son!"
This cry made everyone present feel their hearts twitch.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy and desolate. Wang Xiaohu's mother threw herself on Wang Xiaohu and cried heartbrokenly.
"My son! How can you be so cruel! How will my mother live if you leave!"
Wang Xiaohu's father hugged his wife tightly, his face also full of tears.
Although he didn't cry out, his mood was no better than Wang Xiaohu's mother's.
Wang Xiaohu's team leader stood aside and shed tears.
He wanted to comfort Wang Xiaohu's parents, but seeing the two of them crying so sadly, he couldn't say a word.
He is ashamed of them!
He didn't have the face to ask Wang Xiaohu's parents for forgiveness.
Wang Xiaohu's mother cried bitterly for a while, and then she passed out from grief.
"Quick! Call the military doctor over!"
Everyone hurriedly carried her to the bed, and then called the military doctor for treatment.
Wang Xiaohu had already died, and they couldn't let his parents have another accident.
