When everyone saw Lin Yi climbing up the railing all wet, they were so surprised that they dared not say anything.
After a while, Company Commander Zhao touched Lin Yi's face and asked in a low voice: "Are you Company Commander Lin?"
This question made Lin Yi a little confused, "What's wrong? It's only been a few minutes and you don't recognize me anymore?"
The correspondent also quickly touched Lin Yi's face to confirm that it was really Lin Yi, and shouted excitedly to everyone: "It's really Captain Lin, and he's still alive."
After hearing this, everyone rushed up and lifted Lin Yi up, shouting: "Hero, hero."
Company Commander Zhao quickly stopped everyone, "Stop lifting Company Commander Lin. He must be in poor health now. Send Company Commander Lin to the car quickly. Let's get out of here first."
As soon as Lin Yi got in the car, the correspondent took out his mobile phone, turned on the recording, and said to Lin Yi, "Lianying Commander Lin, what were you thinking at the time? How could you do such a brave thing? If it were us, give me 10,000
I don’t have the guts to do it, or rather, I simply can’t do it.”
Lin Jing was a little surprised to see the correspondent like this. Company Commander Zhao quickly explained: "Our reserve correspondents are different from the army's correspondents. We usually have people from the local culture, sports, radio and television (television) departments serving as correspondents. They are mainly responsible for
Writing accounts and newsletters. You don’t know how excited Xiao Chen was when you fell into the water just now. If I hadn’t pulled him, he would have jumped into the reservoir to look for you."
Lin was a little embarrassed to see that the correspondent was so interested in him, "Hey, we are soldiers. Soldiers can't not do things because they are afraid of difficulties, let alone don't have the courage to do them because they can't do it. The same is true for fighting, and the same is true for doing things.
At a critical moment, the lives of our soldiers no longer belong to us, so I didn’t think much about it at the time and just wanted to complete the mission.”
Correspondent Xiao Chen's mind immediately flashed to Lin Yi's lofty personality, and the manuscript in his mind had already taken shape. The title was very simple, "The cutest person", and the content talked about Lin Yi's bravery, determination, and decisiveness in order to block the situation as soon as possible.
He lived at the mouth of a waterfall and risked his life.
Xiao Chen would not have expected how much of a sensation this article would cause after it was published. The article would be reprinted in provincial newspapers and national newspapers, and Lin Yi would repeatedly make new contributions. Of course, this is a story for another day.
explain.
As the water flow at the entrance of the waterfall was stopped, the water level in the reservoir rose much more slowly. According to predictions, everyone will have 24 hours to clean the spillway and transfer people. This is undoubtedly a lot more time.
Everyone quickly arrived at the spillway. Seeing the water level in the spillway rising significantly, Captain Zhao knew that something was blocking the front. Everyone got on the assault boat and soon found a large group of dead branches and leaves blocking the river. Captain Zhao let
The second gunner loaded the gun and then looked at Lin Yi, "Captain Lin, you will fire the first shell."
This was Lin Yi's first time touching the 82 recoilless rifle. This was not because Lin Yi had touched weapons less often, but because Lin Yi had previously said that weapons like the 82 recoilless rifle were not used much in the active military.
It is not as portable as a rocket launcher. Because the shell is large and has no recoil, the muzzle speed is very slow. It cannot penetrate tanks and cannot hit infantry and snipers as well as rifle grenades. In short, due to various reasons, this kind of weapon has been used in the past.
The weapons that were all the rage have been slowly withdrawn from the front-line troops and used by the second-line troops.
So Lin Yi had only seen disassembly and assembly images of this weapon in instructional videos. He had never seen a real thing, let alone touched it. This was the first time he had seen the 82 recoilless rifle.
So he waved his hands again and again, "Forget it, let's fight. I am a layman with this weapon. As for the first gunner, you are quite good with this weapon. You can blast it into the mouth of the waterfall with one shot. If you hadn't exploded
There is a dent, and I don’t have room to put the explosive pack.”
The first gunner was a little happy to see Lin Yi praising himself, but he still said: "Captain Lin, you are the hero of all of us. As usual, you have to fire the first shot. You have fired 80 rounds, right?"
, you can just treat this as 80 fire, three points and one line, aim at the target, there is no need to worry about the shell falling at this distance, just aim and shoot directly."
Lin Yi saw everyone's eyes looking at him, and knew that there was no point in refusing, so he directly shouldered the barrel of the gun, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger.
With a crisp sound, the cannonball came out, and then exploded violently, directly blowing the dead branches to pieces.
After firing the gun, Lin Yi put the barrel down from his shoulder. He was a little surprised at the firing method of the recoilless rifle. The recoil of this gun was actually smaller than the 80mm rocket launcher, which was really good.
Company Commander Zhao chuckled and said: "That's necessary. The recoil of the cannon ejected from the barrel is perfectly offset by the lead weight fired backwards. We hold this recoilless rifle just like we hold a steel pipe, so this gun is more suitable for our reserves.
It’s not dangerous to get started and it’s not difficult.”
Lin Yi nodded, "It's powerful, but it has a slow initial velocity and a large size. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. In the face of these dead branches and leaves, gravel and mud, this cannon has indeed played its due role."
Because there were enough shell tubes, the clearing of the spillway went very quickly. If there was any blockage, just blast it with one shot and it would open naturally. There was almost no need to fire a second shot.
This was mainly due to the experienced gunnery of the first gunner, who was able to hit the critical point of the blockage with one shot. If Lin Yi was the one to attack, he might have to fire a second shot.
Soon it was dawn, and everyone had cleared up nearly ten kilometers. Company Commander Zhao looked at the tired people, took out dry food and said: "Company Commander Lin, you should know how to operate it after watching it for so long. You can do it later."
I will take the second gunner to take a rest, and I will take the first gunner to continue cleaning up. After three hours, you come and replace us, we take a rest, and you clean up. We can't stop the artillery, what do you think?"
Lin Yi looked at the first gunner, whose eyes were filled with black eyes, and said: "Let the second gunner come first. The first gunner fired the artillery all night, and his body will collapse if he doesn't rest. Anyway, it's getting dark now. I believe the second gunner will come first."
The gunner's skills are up to the task."
Company Commander Zhao nodded, "Okay, I'll let the ammunition ship take you to the shore. You can find a fellow villager to stay overnight. After three hours, you can come back to us."
Lin Yi looked at a private house not far from the shore. Although it was built of wood, it looked very solid. He didn't know if the rapidly rising water would wash away the wooden house after the spillway was opened.
Let’s go, so he looked at the first gunner and said, “Let’s go there and stay overnight.”
