It is said that arriving early is worse than arriving by chance, and Deputy Commander Lu arrived by chance.

The main and deputy shifts are about to change shifts. No matter how tight the emergency and rescue tasks are, there is no problem in taking advantage of the shift change to squeeze out five minutes.

In fact, Han Yu also wanted to boost morale. After all, everyone took a bus for a day and a night, and went into battle as soon as they arrived in Jingzhou. After fighting for two days and two nights, they were very tired and their morale was a little low, so they immediately organized a gathering of the entire battalion of officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the army leaders had arrived, Staff Officer Dai hurriedly summoned the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company of the 132nd Regiment to assemble.

The Naval Academy diving team did not leave in the afternoon. Navy Lieutenant Colonel Feng Qingsong, who led the team, learned of the order from his superiors and immediately organized the team members to assemble.

"Comrades, Deputy Commander Lu has been entrusted by the head of the military region to come and see you!"

Whether your superiors take it seriously or not is completely different.

As soon as Captain Peng finished speaking, all the officers and soldiers, led by Han Yu and Lao Ge, applauded vigorously.

Deputy Commander Lu raised his hand to greet everyone and shouted: "Hello, comrades."

"Hello, Chief!"

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades."

"Serve the people!"

…

Reporter Wang, reporters from Linghai TV and Linghai Daily, as well as publicity officers from Binjiang Public Security Bureau and Binjiang Port Authority, how could they miss this opportunity and were busy taking pictures.

Deputy Commander Lu did not expect that there would be so many reporters in the middle of the night. He cleared his throat and took the loudspeaker handed over by Lao Ge: "Comrades, although I have just arrived here, I know that you have a large-scale presence on the dangerous embankment ahead.

At the critical moment of a piping surge and an imminent collapse, he bravely faced the difficulties and fought a thrilling and life-or-death struggle against the flood, regardless of his own safety!"

"With your excellent military quality, amazing perseverance and tenacious fighting spirit, you have successfully withstood the flood, eliminated the danger of the embankment bursting, and ensured the safety of lives and property of the 130,000 people below the embankment. The head of the military region has entrusted me to express my most profound feelings to you.

Warm congratulations and sincerest respect!”

Everything he did was highly recognized by his superiors. Everyone was extremely excited, and thunderous applause sounded again.

Deputy Commander Lu raised his left hand and pressed it, and suddenly changed the subject: "I am the deputy commander of the 105th Army. I know the 132nd Regiment very well. The 132nd Regiment is a military force with a glorious tradition that is particularly capable of enduring hardship and fighting.

troops, but don’t know much about the Linghai Reserve Battalion and the Naval Academy Diving Unit.

On the way to visit everyone, I learned more about it through multiple channels. It turns out that the Linghai Reserve Battalion is also a force with fine traditions. It has won the honorary titles of 'Fortified Hero Battalion' and 'Red Sharp Knife Company'. Battalion Commander

Comrade Han Yu was once awarded first-class merit by the General Secretary and was awarded the second-class hero model in the national public security system by the Ministry of Public Security!

Although the Naval Academy Diving Team was established relatively late, it has successfully completed the tasks assigned by its superiors many times since its establishment, trained and delivered a large number of divers with excellent military qualities to various naval units, and has been awarded the second-class collective merit twice, and

Awarded by a general order from the Navy Party Committee, it is also a force that is 'not afraid of hardship and not afraid of death'!"

Parachuting by paratroopers is dangerous.

Scuba divers are just as dangerous as diving.

The sea, land and air are all in place, but compared to the airborne troops and the navy brothers, my battalion is only better equipped for flood prevention and emergency rescue, but in other aspects it is really incomparable with others.

As for the fine traditions mentioned by the chief, those two honorary titles were all bought with money from the group.

While Han Yu was embarrassed, Deputy Commander Lu looked around the crowd and said very seriously: "Comrades, the head of the military region praised me by name and even asked me to come over overnight to deliver it. This is both our honor and pressure!

You have the best professional skills, the best and most comprehensive rescue equipment, and the most powerful logistical support. This means that we have to carry out the most dangerous and difficult rescue tasks, which means that we have to play our best in this flood fight.

Make the greatest impact!

Here, I hope that comrades can continue to carry forward the fighting spirit of "not afraid of hardship, not afraid of death", carry forward the fine style of continuous fighting, strengthen the belief in victory, be brave and tenacious, not afraid of hardship, fight to the end, and win this battle with all their strength.

A battle against floods!”

Deputy Commander Lu switched the loudspeaker to his left hand, raised his right hand and pointed at everyone and asked: "Comrades, can you do it?"

"able!"

"Are you confident that you can win this resistance war?"

"have!"

This was similar to the oath he swore when he went on an expedition. Han Yu reacted and hurriedly raised his right fist: "We will never withdraw our troops until we win a complete victory!"

"We will never withdraw our troops until we win complete victory!"

"We will never withdraw our troops until we win complete victory!"

"I swear to live and die with the levee!"

"I swear to live and die with the levee!"

"When people are on the dike, the water will rise and the dike will be higher!"

"When people are on the dike, the water will rise and the dike will be higher!"

Bold words resounded throughout the sky.

The nearby villagers, who could not go home for the time being and could only hang out in the big sheds on the embankment at night, were alarmed and rushed over to watch the fun.

Seeing this scene, the villagers were extremely moved, and many shed tears.

Deputy Commander Lu knew that the speed of the rescue here was directly related to whether hundreds of thousands of people could return home, so he did not dare to take up too much of everyone's time. He changed the topic again: "Comrades, we are now announcing the order of the chief of the military region...

"

Feng Qingsong, the leader of the naval diving unit who was waiting for orders from his superiors, was surprised. He couldn't believe that he would be included in the emergency rescue commando team mainly composed of the Linghai Reserve Battalion. He subconsciously looked at Han Yu.

Then I thought about how the young reserve battalion commander commanded the rescue today, and that although he was a local cadre, he was given a first-class demerit by the General Political Department, and was even awarded the honorary title of National Second-Class Hero Model by the Ministry of Public Security. I felt that it was not shameful to accept his leadership.

Deploy one unit of the 132nd Regiment...

Isn’t this what we are talking about?

Company Commander Wu was so happy that he couldn't smile from ear to ear. After all, he was also performing a rescue mission. If he was just carrying sandbags like the Brothers, it would be different if he was working with the "Hong Kong Garrison". The missions were the most dangerous and the easiest to show off.

Task.

And the "Hong Kong Garrison" has money!

If you follow them, you can enjoy popular food, drink spicy food, and even achieve meritorious deeds.

…

Deputy Commander Lu came and left overnight.

Captain Peng did not leave. He called Vice Mayor Shen in front of Han Yu, Ge Ju and Navy Lieutenant Colonel Feng Qingsong, and then chaired the first party committee meeting after the establishment of the emergency rescue commando team on behalf of Vice Mayor Shen.

Captain Peng blew out a circle of smoke and said carelessly: "Xiao Han, Ge Ju, and Team Feng, when it comes to flood prevention and rescue, you are experts, but I am a rough guy. I don't know anything, I just know how to carry sandbags with my brothers."

Setting up sandbags is a rough job."

Feng Qingsong realized that Captain Peng was a man of temperament and couldn't help laughing: "Captain Peng, I don't understand either."

"So we all have to listen to Xiao Han and Ge Ju."

"Captain, you are our leader, how can you listen to us!"

"Xiao Han, if you go into battle, I won't be polite to you. Even Captain Feng will listen to me! But this is flood fighting and rescue, not fighting. If nothing else, let's just say that the big gap in front collapsed.

I can jump in and fill in when the time comes, but can I live in it?”

Commander Peng asked in return, and then said: "Whether fighting a flood or going into battle, casualties may occur. Since we wear this military uniform, we cannot be afraid of death, but even if we die, we must die meaningfully! I am glorious, but the dike is not

Keep it, the masses are being flooded, not only is it meaningless, I can’t even bear the responsibility, I can say that I am almost like a sinner.”

Feng Qingsong was deeply convinced and raised his head and said: "Commander-in-Chief, Ge Bureau, Commander Peng is right. You are indeed more professional than us in flood prevention and rescue, and you don't know how many times more professional. I will make a statement and our diving team will resolutely obey."

Your order."

Han Yuzheng didn't know what to say. Captain Peng smiled and said: "Battle Commander Han, I heard that your food is very good. I would like to follow your command and eat and drink with you, but my superiors disagree and say that you can use it here."

Without so many small workers, I can only make one battalion listen to you."

"Second Battalion?"

"It's the second battalion for now."

Han Yu liked to deal with the cheerful Captain Peng and asked curiously: "Why temporarily?"

Commander Peng pretended to be helpless and said: "Leading an army is similar to being a leader. A bowl of water must be leveled, otherwise you won't be able to convince the public. Now everyone knows that your 'Hong Kong Garrison' is well-equipped and has better food."

Well, there are even female soldiers.

Fortunately, our regiment is an army of the Communist Party. If it had been an army of the Kuomintang, my bunch of worthless bastards would have come to you with weapons to surrender. Maybe I, the regiment leader, would be kidnapped by them to ask for credit and rewards from you.

.”

Han Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "Captain, you really know how to joke."

"I'm really not kidding, it's mainly because your conditions are so good."

Captain Peng smiled and continued: "So I can only let several battalions take turns to do small jobs for you, and change the defense every five days. What do you think?"

Han Yu smiled and said: "Okay."

"Don't worry, although we are poor, we still have a point of honor. We have to take advantage of it, but the food should not be so ugly. I have already agreed with the political commissar that we will ask the munitions stock to give you the amount of food expenses that our superiors will give us later."

Captain Peng chuckled and pointed at the cold dishes that Ge Ju had just finished: "According to your food standards, our food expenses are definitely not enough. So you can only consider yourself unlucky. Who asked your superiors to ask you to accept it?"

We're taking care of it."
