Chapter 1106 We Are Saved
.,!
It was already five o'clock in the morning when Wu Feng arrived at the No. 1 reservoir. At this time, the water level had reached the highest level in history, only 0.8 meters away from the dam crest.
Reservoir workers and their families have spontaneously brought sacks from the reservoir and filled them with soil to increase the height of the dam crest.
But manpower is limited, and there are not many sacks, and the speed at which the dam crest increases cannot keep up with the height of the water storage, so they may not last long.
At this time, the roar of trucks passed through the rain curtain. People looked towards the sound, and groups of People's Liberation Army jumped out of the truck with sacks and shovels in their hands like heavenly soldiers and generals.
"Look, it's the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army is here to support us!" Someone in the desperate crowd shouted, and then they heard cheers and warm applause.
"We are saved, we are saved!"
"The People's Liberation Army is here, and there is no problem that cannot be overcome!"
"Brothers, for the sake of our fellow villagers, everyone follows the PLA, cheer up!"
Director Li, the manager who stayed behind at the reservoir, shed two lines of tears, and excitedly held Wu Feng's hand, "Political Commissar Wu, you came in a timely manner. I didn't expect the military region of the provincial capital to come so soon!"
"Don't worry, the division commander got the news and immediately held a meeting to study this rescue operation. The division commander sent all the soldiers he could mobilize within his authority, and we also brought sacks, straw bags, and shovels. So, don't worry, people At any moment, the People's Liberation Army will put people's lives and properties first!" Wu Feng shook his hand, and at the same time explained the basic situation of the army to him.
"Okay, great, let me tell you about the basic situation of this reservoir." Director Li led Wu Feng to the side, "This reservoir was built in the 1950s, and the spillway is very narrow, so it doesn't do much. Therefore, we must resolutely hold on to the dam now, otherwise the six villages downstream will be washed away. But don’t worry, the weather forecast says there will be no heavy rain, so we are fully prepared.”
Wu Feng didn't say anything, this Director Li was much more optimistic than Wei Zhenhui.
Wei Zhenhui talked with him for ten minutes before coming here, and Zhenhui seemed more certain that the water level would definitely cross the crest of the dam, so he had to raise the crest of the dam by five meters.
Wu Feng looked up at the sky, it was raining heavily, and there was no intention of stopping.
Compared with Director Li in front of him, Wu Feng firmly chose to believe in Wei Zhenhui who didn't understand water conservancy. After all, they had been partners for many years, and Wei Zhenhui never made mistakes in his analysis of things.
As for the person in front of him, Wu Feng didn't distrust his profession, but if he did things entirely by experience, he would suffer a disadvantage one day.
Even he could see that the rain had no intention of stopping, and this person was still insisting on his own ideas.
"Director Li, just to be on the safe side, how about we build another dam in the middle reaches? If the dam breaks, at least we still have a line of defense!" After speaking, he pointed to the soldiers running on the top of the dam.
"Look, there are surplus troops here. I will take away 500 soldiers, plus the strong labor force from the reservoir workers and their families, and rush to the middle reaches immediately!"
Director Li was obviously taken aback. He had already said that there would not be that much rainfall. The current preliminary forecasted rainfall is within the acceptable range of the dam. "Is this... Political Commissar Wu, is it a little unnecessary?"
"It's best to do nothing, and I hope that such a thing won't happen. Director Li, I'll leave it to you!" Wu Feng didn't delay any longer, and led 500 people and reservoir workers to the middle reaches of the river.
Two kilometers away from the dam, there was a half-built dam. Wu Feng immediately asked people to stop and asked the reservoir staff, "What's the matter with the half-built dam here?"
