Chapter 155: Let me try
"Don't worry, fellow, it's okay!"
After Tang Ming comforted the fellow villagers, he led the team to start the rescue.
While they were rescuing, the troops were also quickly reinforcing and upgrading the third line of defense on the dam!
The impact of floods is getting stronger and stronger.
There is not much time left for them!
"Commander! The dam can no longer hold it! Have all the villagers downstream been evacuated? If we don't release the flood, it will be too late!"
Each regiment commander ran to the division commander's headquarters and asked anxiously.
"One more hour! Just hold on for one more hour!"
The division commander said solemnly: "Tell the soldiers, no matter what, you have to hold on for me!"
"yes!"
Outside, the soldiers were still going crazy, rushing up with sandbags on their shoulders.
Because the impact of the floods was getting stronger and stronger, many sandbags were washed away as soon as they were put down.
Some soldiers were even washed directly off the dam by the flood and rolled down. It was very dangerous!
But even so, each soldier still rushed up with his body to fill the gap, and then held the sandbag tightly to prevent the flood from washing away the sandbag!
Time passed little by little.
Finally, an hour later, the organization issued an order to open the gate!
The division commander and other regiment leaders were greatly relieved.
"Quick! Notify the dam staff to open all valves and release the flood!"
The division commander shouted an order!
"yes!"
The soldiers outside, after hearing that the villagers downstream of them had evacuated, knew that they had finally persisted, and they all cheered loudly in the mire of heavy rain.
However, after waiting for several minutes, the dam valve has not yet been opened.
The division leaders, who originally had smiles on their faces, gradually realized something was wrong.
"What's going on? Why haven't you released the flood yet?"
The teacher shouted.
"Report!"
A guard ran over with a pale face and reported loudly: "The dam staff said that because the impact of the flood was too great and severe, the three large valves were collided and deformed! They cannot open the gate automatically!"
"What?!"
The expressions of the division leaders changed drastically, "Asshole! How could this happen?!"
"If the flood cannot be released in time, within half an hour, the flood will destroy Dati and then rush out of the upper and middle reaches!"
"There are more than 200,000 people in the upper and middle reaches who have not evacuated. Once the flood breaks out, they will all be swallowed up by the flood!"
Thinking of this, the division leaders felt desperate!
They all know the consequences of not being able to discharge the flood!
The levee could not hold it, so the superiors decided to sacrifice the villages downstream and let the floods wash down.
They sent large troops to evacuate all the villagers downstream.
But who would have thought that the flood would not be released at this time.
What about the villagers in the upper and middle reaches?
In half an hour, it is simply impossible to evacuate all the villagers in the upper and middle reaches!
Of course, they can also continue to strengthen and raise the defense line to buy time for the villagers in the upper and middle reaches to evacuate. However, with the current amount of floods, they simply cannot hold out for long!
At that time, once the flood breaks the embankment, these more than 10,000 soldiers will be the first to be completely washed away by the flood!
Once they were involved in such a terrifying flood, even gods would not be able to survive!
The leaders are panicking!
The soldiers were also panicked!
You can't guard against it, you can't let it out!
Could it be that they and the more than 200,000 villagers could only wait for the Flood to submerge them? !
"Carry out the blast!"
The division commander said in a very low voice: "Contact the superiors immediately and ask them to deliver the blasting explosives to me as quickly as possible!"
blasting?
good idea!
The heads of the group’s eyes lit up.
"But even if it can be blasted, it will take at least an hour until the explosives are delivered! The dam can't hold on for that long!"
A group leader said loudly.
"Hurry and ask the dam staff if there are any explosives here? Hurry!"
"yes!"
Soon, the guards also ran over and said excitedly: "Report to the division commander, there are explosives! But they said they are only traditional explosives, unlike the electronic detonations of our army!"
"With the location of the dam gate, someone would have to jump down and attach explosives to it."
"But now, the water keeps rushing down from above, and people can't get down at all! It's like a big waterfall."
"Even if someone goes in and installs the explosives, they still have to detonate them inside!"
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed!
Not to mention whether people can enter.
Once inside, the person who detonated the explosives has only one outcome: either he will be blown to death by following the gate, or he will be washed away by the hundreds of thousands of tons of flood water after the gate is blown open!
There is only one way to die!
"No time! Detonate artificially at close range! I'll execute it!"
The teacher said loudly with red eyes.
"No! Master, let me do it!"
"Teacher, your physical condition makes it impossible to get in. I am strong, so I can!"
"I'll do it! My climbing skills are very good! I'm also good at swimming!"
All the group leaders shouted.
When the soldiers heard it, they rushed over one after another, rushing to detonate it!
"Shut up, everyone!"
The division commander shouted loudly. He looked at the extremely young and resolute faces of the soldiers and said solemnly: "I am the division commander! You are my soldiers! If I die, I, the division commander, will die first!"
"Have someone bring me the explosives immediately! I'll detonate the bomb!"
"Master!"
"Execute the order!" the division commander shouted again.
"yes!"
The guard, with red eyes and tears, took the people to get the explosives.
Soon, the explosives were brought over.
Following him was a middle-level manager of the dam.
"The four large gates are all made of special steel and are very strong! In order to blow them up, each gate must be equipped with at least 80 kilograms of explosives!"
"According to the current rising rate of floods, more than two must be blown up to ensure that the water level of the dam drops and the embankment is not breached!"
As soon as these words came out, the division commander and the soldiers were all stunned!
One gate requires 80 kilograms of explosives, and those two are 160 kilograms!
Three hundred and twenty pounds!
It is difficult for people to enter under the gate with light clothing!
Not to mention carrying a three hundred and twenty kilogram bomb!
Who can have such strong physical strength?
Now, all the soldiers present are basically exhausted. If they are allowed to carry dozens of kilograms or a hundred kilograms, it might be okay.
But that’s three hundred and twenty pounds!
"I'll try!"
At this time, a stronger soldier rushed up and tried to carry the three hundred and twenty kilograms of explosives.
He roared and tried to stand up with all his strength.
But the explosive only shook slightly and did not even move away from the ground.
Failed!
Other soldiers also came up to try one by one, but they just couldn't do it!
Just when the division leaders decided to blow up one first to relieve the water level in the dam before thinking of other methods, a voice came over.
"Let me do it."
A slightly thin figure pushed through the crowd and walked in.
