Then they dispersed, looking for a vantage point, and prepared to rescue the firefighters who were washed here by the flood.
When everyone arrived at the predetermined point, Lin Yi also estimated that the time was almost up, and then shouted: "Set up the flares."
Lin Yi did not rely on flares to provide light support. Although the illumination range of the illumination bomb was indeed very strong, its duration was very short. The average illumination time was only thirty seconds, which was not enough at all.
Although the most indispensable thing in the People's Armed Forces Ministry is flares, if you want to get them, it is not difficult to take out hundreds of them, but at the rate of one round every half minute, a few hundred bombs are a drop in the bucket.
Besides, everyone has a head-mounted portable light source, and basically no flares are needed for lighting.
Lin Yi fired this flare mainly to let the fire fighters know the existence of his reserve soldiers. You are fighting floods above, and we are ensuring your safety below.
As for going ashore to help them, there is no need. Everyone has their own task area, and the division of labor in this task area is very reasonable. If you go up casually, it will just add chaos, and it is not very practical.
As the flares rose, the fire fighters also saw the fourth squad that had been deployed below. The fourth squad did not go to disaster relief, but was ready to rescue themselves who were washed down by the water at any time. Their hearts felt warm, and they felt like someone was rescued if they fell into the water.
very nice.
With the full release of the reservoir, the water flow speed in the river has become much faster. The huge flow of floods is scouring the reinforced river. However, the water flow is too great. In some corners of the river, the soil is thinning at the speed of the naked eye.
.
This made the squadron leader more excited than anyone else, and he immediately shouted: "Fill the sandbags."
In an instant, all the sandbags at the soldier's feet were carried up to his shoulders, and they were quickly thrown towards the weak spot in the river.
The reduction of soil in the river has been controlled, but when people are exhausted, especially when a sandbag weighs hundreds of kilograms, a soldier can carry three to five thousand kilograms of sandbags in half an hour on average, and he is so tired that he can't even lift it on his shoulders.
stand up.
The squadron leader saw some soldiers falling down while walking. The heavy sandbags were pressing on the soldiers' backs. The soldiers had no strength to push them away, so they could only let themselves be pressed by the sandbags. His heart suddenly ached, and he immediately
He ran over, pushed aside the sandbags on the soldier, and dragged the soldier aside, "I can't check your body now. Just lie down for a while. If you can stand up, continue working."
After saying that, he carried the sandbag and started throwing it.
The soldier's hands and feet were now so numb that he couldn't control them. He waited for five minutes before he could bend his fingers. Looking at the hurried footsteps around him, he staggered up and continued to carry the sandbags.
This scene happened in many places. Two hours later, the embankment finally burst. The water was so big that it directly submerged the embankment. After taking away some soil, the embankment would inevitably burst.
As long as the embankment breaks, the strong water pressure will directly tear the hole open, unless there is a heavy object directly blocking it.
But apart from sandbags, there are no heavy objects around the soldiers. And for people, sandbags are barely heavy objects. In front of the embankment breach, they are no better than a fallen leaf. As long as they are thrown in, they will be directly hit by the strong current.
Wash away.
When the squad leader saw this, he shouted directly: "Everyone in the squad, hold sandbags and jump in to plug the gap."
One person and a sandbag will not have much effect in front of the breach, but a squad is different. There are sandbags in front of the soldiers, and they are holding hands. This creates a huge overall weight.
But when the soldiers jumped into the embankment, the strong current knocked them around. They barely managed to stand firm, and the huge waves directly covered their faces. The soldiers, who were already very active, could hardly breathe.
Quickly, when the water poured into the mouth and nose, it felt like suffocation, and the lungs burned and hurt.
But even so, the soldiers still did not flinch, holding hands like the Great Steel Wall, accepting the sandbags thrown down by the soldiers above.
However, the impact of the water is too great. No matter how strong a person is, some people cannot hold on. As soon as their feet are loosened, they are directly swept away by the flood water that breaks the embankment and is carried far away.
Lin Yi had been observing the situation over there. When he saw a fire fighter being rushed down, he shouted directly: "Go up and save people."
The soldiers who can be washed down by the flood basically have no physical strength, and they have already been overdrawn. Otherwise, based on their perseverance, as long as their fingers can still move, they will not give up and let themselves be washed away by the flood.
Because the firefighters did not resist, because the reserve soldiers were well prepared, and because Lin Yi commanded well.
Therefore, the firefighters who fell into the water were quickly rescued and then dragged to land for physical examination.
Bearing the impact of sandbags and the impact of huge floods, the soldiers have varying degrees of scratches on their bodies, but there is no way to treat them now because the flood fight will continue. They are wrapped in bandages now. When the flood fight is over, the bandages will be used.
Being filled with water is not conducive to the recovery of the wound.
At this time, the fire fighter, who had recovered a little strength, opened his mouth and said thank you.
The reservists waved their hands one after another, "Why are you saying these words at this time? You all risked your lives to save the embankment, how can we still bear your gratitude."
Firefighters are experienced in many battles. They know that without the timely salvage of reserve soldiers, they will inevitably be hit by branches or rocks. Such a collision will definitely be unbearable by the body.
But after hearing the reservist's words, he stopped being pretentious and just closed his eyes and tried to regain his strength as much as possible.
At this time, the reserve soldier took out a bottle of glucose and said, "Here, open your mouth."
The fire fighter did not open his eyes, but opened his mouth in relief. When glucose entered the body, it quickly began to be converted into energy.
At this time the embankment burst.
As the hole got bigger and bigger, the impact of the water flow became bigger and bigger, and the exhausted warriors were rushed into the water one after another. However, as many warriors were washed down as they were, they held sandbags and filled them up again without risking their lives.
s position.
After more than an hour of fighting, the breach was finally blocked. Lin Yi used his medical skills to scan the seven or eight rescued firefighters. Without exception, their physical energy was completely exhausted, even though
With glucose supplementation, recovery is quite slow.
The fourth squad leader looked at Lin Yi and said, "Would you like to move them into a tent? I just chose a location and set up a tent."
Lin Yi waved his hand, "No need, the soldiers sleep lightly. As long as you touch him, he will definitely wake up. Let them sleep a little longer. Their physical strength is really not enough. They will continue to engage in the battle."
, the body will be wasted."
But as soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, a soldier was awakened by the sound of the two talking. Seeing so many comrades lying nearby, he quickly struggled to sit up, but just as he was about to stand up, he realized that
