The reserve force is indeed one of the components of the People's Liberation Army, and this appearance is indeed different. They go directly to the artillery.
Lin Yi didn't hesitate, "Okay, since time is tight and the task is heavy, let's not delay and set off immediately."
In the car, reserve company commander Zhao turned to Lin Yi and said: "Captain Lin, I see you have three military dogs, and I happen to have three platoons. I mean, one dog per platoon. It's easier to work if they are spread out like this.
You just follow our company headquarters, I will take a few elite members, and we will clean the river."
Lin Yi has no objection to this arrangement. Although according to regulations, the reserve force is the reserve force of the People's Liberation Army, most of that reserve force refers to the second category of reserve force, which is the militia part.
For example, the reserve force, which is part of the People's Liberation Army, although its personnel composition is not much different from that of the militia force, after all, his company and platoon commanders are all serious active-duty officers, no different from himself. In this case,
Then it is unjustifiable that you are robbing others of their command power.
Besides, he has been a reserve company commander for some time and is more familiar with the situation here, so it would be more appropriate for him to take command.
And the most important point is that my position is relatively high. If I go out with a certain squad, who has the right to command?
If it is in their own hands, they may not necessarily listen to them. After all, they are just an outsider and do not understand his character and talents, so they cannot divide tasks.
As for letting the squad platoon leader serve as the commander, this seems to be no problem, but it is unreasonable for a squad platoon leader to command a company commander.
Therefore, it was most appropriate for Company Commander Zhao to ask him to go out with him. After all, Company Commander Zhao was a captain, and he was still one level higher than himself in military rank. There was no psychological burden on him when he commanded him.
The convoy started quickly and soon arrived at the edge of the town reservoir. At this time, firefighters and some militia troops wearing 07 camouflage could be seen carrying sandbags. Upon seeing this, Company Commander Zhao let other vehicles go first, while he moved the vehicle
He stepped aside and looked at Lin Yi, "Captain Lin, let's go to the reservoir disaster relief commander to understand the situation first and then determine what we should do."
Lin Yi nodded, and the two quickly found the squadron leader of the fire squadron. The squadron leader obviously knew Company Commander Zhao. They probably met during the usual inspection training, so they were very enthusiastic. "Captain Zhao, you are finally here. Our manpower
It’s not enough. If the rain continues at this rate, the people in the previous group may not be enough.”
Company Commander Zhao scratched his head when he saw that the large machinery hadn't come up yet, "Our company has other tasks, so we can't support you right now. You'd better report to the headquarters and ask them to send machinery up. I'm here to ask you, what's going on?"
If it rains at this level, how long can the reservoir carry the load? If the reservoir is opened to release floods, which river channel should we clean to release the greatest flood?"
flood discharge?
The squadron leader was confused when he heard this word, and asked anxiously: "Have the people downstream of the reservoir been evacuated? The heavy rain has just started, how can we release the flood in a hurry?"
Company Commander Zhao pointed to the convoy that he had left, "My mission is to evacuate the people and then use artillery fire to clear a floodway. We haven't had a flood here for decades. I don't know what the floodway will be like, so
I came here to ask you, how much longer can you provide us?"
The squadron leader looked at the rapidly rising rain in the reservoir and said anxiously: "If it rains like this, it won't arrive until tomorrow morning, and I won't be able to hold on. Have you seen the waterfall that our headlights illuminated?
?Most of the water in the reservoir flows out from here. Unexpectedly, the waterfall, which has been planned as a key tourist attraction, has now become the most deadly link."
When Lin Yi heard this, he suddenly asked: "What if we use artillery fire to blow up the entrance of the waterfall? Even if we can't block all of it, we can block 70 to 80% of the water flow, at least we can provide more water.
Let’s try to get half a day.”
Exploding the waterfall mouth?
These words stunned the squadron leader and the reserve company commander. Almost all of the town's tourism resources come from this waterfall. If this waterfall is blown up, the local people may not agree, let alone whether the town leaders agree.
Agree.
Lin Yi saw that the two people were silent and understood what they were worried about. As troops who came from the masses, they would indeed consider things more comprehensively than himself.
But Lin Yi's idea is also very simple. If he can buy more time at the reservoir, he will have more time whether it is to evacuate the people or clean the spillway. Time is not enough for anyone.
, if you can buy a little more time, you can ensure more safety.
"Squadron Commander, Company Commander Zhao, if you are unwilling to report, then I will report it to the town's stability maintenance headquarters first and see how determined the town is."
Company Commander Zhao pressed Lin Yi's button and said, "Captain Lin, don't worry. As the command level on the reservoir, the three of us have to unify our opinions first. I'll ask clearly before we talk."
Then he looked at the squadron leader and said, "Now give me an estimate of the time for the two plans. One is based on the current situation, we still have a few hours to open the gate to release the flood; the other is if we open the waterfall mouth
How much time do we have if it is blocked by bombing?"
The squadron leader has been working as a fire fighter for so many years, and he is very confident in estimating the water flow. He gave the answer in less than two minutes, "Based on the current water situation, you will have no more than ten hours at most. If we can block the entrance of the waterfall,
Even if you only block 70 to 80 percent of the traffic, the safety time can be extended to 24 hours."
When Company Commander Zhao heard this, he took a deep breath, looked at the two people, and as if he had made a decision, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Report to the Town Stability Maintenance Headquarters. I am the commander of the reserve third company. I am now requesting the Stability Maintenance Headquarters to issue an order."
, bombard the entrance of the waterfall above the reservoir. If we block the entrance of the waterfall, the safety time can be extended to 24 hours. If we do not block the entrance, the safety time will not exceed ten hours. Please reply immediately after receiving it."
Soon a message came over the intercom, "Headquarters received it, please wait a moment!"
After the communication support personnel said these words, the stability maintenance headquarters fell into a deathly silence. It was Secretary Sun who spoke first, "In the face of the safety of people's lives and property, we should put down everything."
The mayor gasped, "Secretary Sun, I understand what you mean, but the reservoir waterfall scenic spot is an important part of the economic development of our town. Can we think about it and think of a way to get the best of both worlds?"
, without damaging the waterfall scenic spot, and ensuring that the reservoir can carry as much water as possible.
In addition, isn’t the Third Company of Reserves going to clean up the floodway? Can we send some forces to help them, open the floodway as soon as possible, and then open the gate to release the flood earlier?”
