Chapter 587: The Desperate Mayor

As soon as Wu Peng finished speaking, a section of the wall was immediately washed away by the waves. As soon as this opening was opened, the sea water surged in, and the entire wall on the seawall was immediately washed away by more than 400 meters. It was like a domino. Just the same, it’s a complete cascading effect.

Nie Zhenbang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Camp Commander Wu, are we really going to break the dike? You have to know that behind us, seventy or eighty meters away, are private houses."

Wu Peng could not understand the meaning of Nie Zhenbang's words. As a people's soldier, it is an unshirkable responsibility and obligation to protect the safety of people's lives and property.

Nowadays, the seawall has breached and people’s lives and property are being threatened. This is a dereliction of duty. However, based on the many years of experience of Wu Peng, the commander of the Wanghai Garrison Engineering Battalion, the seawall must not be saved. Then, Wu Peng nodded and said: "Mayor, I'm afraid it can't be saved."

As soon as Wu Peng finished speaking, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, which looked particularly terrifying in the dark night, followed immediately by a roar. On both sides, the searchlights on the buildings also flashed a few times.

Next to him, the cell phone in Li Jupeng's hand was already ringing. This was Mayor Nie's number. As soon as the call was connected, a voice came over the phone. However, the rain was so heavy that Nie Zhenbang and others could not hear it clearly.

Li Jupeng also said loudly at this moment: "Okay, I understand. I will tell the mayor immediately."

"Mayor, just now, news came from the Electric Power Bureau that two 250,000-volt high-voltage lines were interrupted. Currently, the staff of the power supply department are doing their best to make repairs." Li Jupeng reported loudly.

This made Nie Zhenbang frown. This time the typhoon struck, making Nie Zhenbang feel powerless for the first time. In the face of natural disasters, people are nothing.

Immediately, Nie Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "Instruct the leaders in charge to pay attention to the life safety of the people and rescue personnel. In this case, people are the most important."

At this moment, another wave hit, and the seawall surged a few times, but a gap of one to eight meters long was immediately washed out. Seeing this scene. Nie Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "Battle Commander Wu, give me the order.

All the palace soldiers, all present, immediately blocked the breach. The sea water could not be poured in like this, otherwise, the entire Wanghai Island would be covered by sea water. "

At this moment, Wu Peng, without any hesitation, put his feet together and said loudly: "Yes, I promise to complete the task."

However, what Wu Peng and Liu Zhiyong didn't expect was that Nie Zhenbang picked up his legs and rushed out.

This scene shocked Wu Peng and said loudly: "Mayor, what are you going to do?"

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang raised his eyebrows and said with some dissatisfaction: "Commander Wu, come to the rescue, look at what I do. Time is life now. Act now."

Li Jupeng also rushed out at this moment. The heavy rain brought by the typhoon washed away people's bodies. At this moment, in the area of ​​​​Wanghai Seawall, more than a thousand officers and soldiers stood in the rain, looking at Mayor Nie, and their hearts were also Purifying. His eyes were filled with respect and admiration.

"Mayor, you can't go, it's dangerous." Li Jupeng shouted loudly, trying to stop Nie Zhenbang from doing this.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang said angrily: "Li Jupeng, what are you doing? Do you want me to hide under the tent like a shrunken turtle and watch the soldiers fight for their lives? I tell you, Li Jupeng, I, Nie Zhenbang, can't do it Arrive. Listen to my order and go back immediately. You have nothing to do here, otherwise, you will not be a secretary."

Li Jupeng was stunned by Nie Zhenbang's scolding, but he still said stubbornly: "Mayor, even if you withdraw me, I can't let you go. I am your secretary, and my duty is to protect Your safety."

Nie Zhenbang couldn't care less at the moment. With a wave of his hand, Li Jupeng was lifted away. Nie Zhenbang's strength was not comparable to that of a weak scholar like Li Jupeng.

At this moment, seeing Nie Zhenbang's back, Li Jupeng gritted his teeth and rushed forward. Standing at the breach, watching the turbulent water pouring in. Nie Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "Battle Commander Wu, tell the soldiers to find two ropes and form a rescue suicide squad. I led the team, and everyone put on life jackets, connected them with ropes, went into the water, put sandbags, and blocked the breach. "

Nie Zhenbang's words made Wu Peng a little shocked. The gap was more than eight meters wide. At this moment, the strong force generated by the intrusion of sea water was enough to wash away a car and put a person into the water. It was so small. Isn't this a suicide?

Gritting his teeth, Wu Peng also risked his life. If a deputy provincial cadre like Mayor Nie dared to risk his life, there was no need to regret his own life.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Mayor, this can't work. It's too dangerous down there. Go ahead and let me go down."

Nie Zhenbang was very annoyed at this moment. Why are these people like this? Could it be that he is really nothing? Immediately, he said angrily: "Fart, you are the commander of the engineering battalion. You know better than me how to arrange and deploy. Could it be that you go down and let me take command instead of you? Nonsense! I was also a soldier. This is difficult. It's not a problem for me. Comrade Wu Peng, this is an order. As the director of the Wanghai City National Defense Commission, I order you to carry out the task immediately."

Two ropes as thick as a baby's arms came over immediately. With a distance of eight meters, even in such strong wind and rain, there is no problem in being thrown over.

Nie Zhenbang has also put on a life jacket. He jumped into the water first. At this moment, thousands of people had gathered around the seawall.

Mayor Nie's actions also moved everyone present. Many enthusiastic young men also yelled: "Fight, Mayor Nie has gone into the water for our own homeland, how can we stand by and watch? If we follow Mayor Nie, we will die today." Block the breach and then die.

At a distance of eight meters, a total of twenty strong young men formed a human wall, blocking the breach and moving towards the breach step by step.

On both sides, the armed police and army soldiers were moved by Nie Zhenbang's noble sentiments, and everyone unleashed their greatest potential. Packs of sandbags were thrown away as if they were free of charge.

At the beginning, the people below the breach immediately shouted: "No, the force of the water flow is too great and it cannot be blocked at all."

Wu Peng stood on it, carefully calculating the speed and flow of the water, and said in a deep voice: "Tie six sandbags together and push them down. The water flow is too fast. If you throw them in one bag at a time, there will be no impact at all." significance."

Soon, under the command of Wu Peng, a company of people separated and stood on the edge of the breach to fix the sandbags as a whole.

However, at this time, the speed of the water flow was really too fast. In two hours, more than 3,000 sandbags were thrown in, but it had no great effect. Most of the sandbags were washed away by the sea water as soon as they were thrown down. .

Under the breach, many of the twenty people who first entered the water had already changed groups. Under the impact of this kind of water flow, the physical strength consumed was undoubtedly huge.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang, even though he has an extremely strong physique, is already a little tired.

Next to him, Wu Peng said loudly: "Mayor, please come up and have a rest first. If this continues, you won't be able to hold on at all."

When Nie Zhenbang heard this, he said loudly: "Wu Peng, you bastard, don't worry about whether I have something to do or not. You should think about yourself and find a way. This place is blocked. I don't want you to worry about it. Block the breach." , even if you, Wu Peng, have made a great contribution, when the time comes, I will personally ask you for credit from the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. If you don’t do it well, don’t blame me for punishing you."

As the deputy secretary and mayor of the Wanghai Municipal Committee, Nie Zhenbang is really not joking. He still has this ability.

Wu Peng's expression changed, and his eyes were full of respect and admiration for Nie Zhenbang. He had never seen such a dedicated mayor and such a cadre who thought about the people in his life. This kind of person deserves admiration.

I quickly calculated in my mind that there were only more than two thousand sandbags left. According to the current trend of wind and rain, although the typhoon has weakened and gradually moved inland after landing, however, for a while, the heavy rain and The strong winds show no sign of letting up.

Such a simple blockade would definitely not be able to block the breach. Immediately, Wu Peng stood up and said loudly: "Mayor, now, the only way is to use a fishing boat to gamble. Mobilize a fishing boat to come over and block the breach horizontally. , reduce the speed of water flow, and perhaps, there is still a chance of blockage.”

No wonder Wu Peng asked Nie Zhenbang for instructions. Fishing boats are basically the property of the common people.

Many of the local fishermen in Wanghai make fishing boats their home. If they use fishing boats to block the fishing boats, there is a great possibility that the fishing boats will be scrapped. Wu Peng does not dare to make a decision on this kind of loss.

Nie Zhenbang pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Block! If we don't block this place, the losses will be even greater."

With that said, Nie Zhenbang raised his head and said loudly: "Fellows and fellow villagers, UU Reading www.uukaｎｓｕｕnet, who is willing to donate the fishing boat? Afterwards, the municipal party committee and the municipal government will be responsible for compensation for the loss of the fishing boat."

Nie Zhenbang's prestige at this moment has been elevated to an impossible level. A few people had actually seen the mayor who worked hard for the people. As soon as he finished speaking, he received a response from more than a dozen fishermen.

An old fisherman about fifty years old, with dark skin because he has lived at sea for a long time, stood up first and said loudly: "Use mine, use my boat. The government is working hard for us, Mayor Nie." For us ordinary people, I took risks myself, a fishing boat doesn’t matter. I’m out.”

The fishing boat soon weighed anchor. It was dragged over with a huge cable and approached the breach step by step. The bow of the fishing boat rushed into the breach with a swish. Hundreds of soldiers held it tightly, and finally, the fishing boat was stuck diagonally on this side of the breach. , the water flow suddenly decreased by a large amount. This opportunity was rare, Wu Peng waved his hand and said loudly: "Push them all down.

On the seawall, more than a dozen large sandbags were pushed down, and the sandbags piled up quickly. The breach was shrinking step by step. After more than an hour of all-out rescue, the breach was finally closed, and Nie Zhenbang led 20 strong men. Han walked onto the temporary embankment piled up with sandbags at the breach. Next to him, thousands of people immediately burst into deafening applause and cheers. ! .
