Chapter 1104: We are saved

Chapter 1104 We are saved
It was already five o'clock in the morning when Wu Feng arrived at the No. 1 Reservoir. At this time, the water level had reached the highest level in history, only 0.8 meters from the top of the dam.
Reservoir employees and their families have spontaneously brought sacks from them and filled them with soil to raise the top of the dam.
However, the manpower is limited, there are not many sacks, and the increase in the top of the dam cannot keep up with the height of the water storage. They may not last long.
At this time, the roar of the truck passed through the rain curtain, and people looked towards the sound. Teams of the People's Liberation Army, like heavenly soldiers, jumped out of the truck with sacks and shovels in their hands.
"Look, it's the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army is here to support us!" Someone yelled from the desperate crowd, and then they heard cheers and enthusiastic applause.
"We are saved, we are saved!"
"The People's Liberation Army is here, there is no problem that cannot be defeated!"
"Brothers, for the sake of our fathers and villagers, everyone will follow the PLA and cheer up!"
Director Li, the manager who stayed behind in the reservoir, shed two lines of tears and shook Wu Feng's hand excitedly, "Political Commissar Wu, you came too in time. I didn't expect the Provincial Military Region to come so quickly!"
"Relax, the division commander got the news and immediately held a meeting to study this rescue activity. The division commander sent all the soldiers that he could mobilize within his power. We also brought sacks, straw bags, and shovels. So, you can rest assured, the people. The People's Liberation Army puts people's lives and property first!" Wu Feng shook him back and explained the basic situation of the troops to him.
"Okay, great, let me tell you the basic situation of this reservoir." Director Li led Wu Feng to the side. "This reservoir was built in the 1950s. The spillway is very narrow and does not have much effect. Therefore, we must now hold on to the dam firmly, otherwise the six villages downstream will be washed away. But you can rest assured that the weather forecast says there will be no heavy rain, and we are fully prepared."
Wu Feng didn't speak. Director Li was much more optimistic than Wei Zhenhui.
Before coming, Wei Zhenhui talked with him for ten minutes. Zhenhui seemed to be more certain that the water level would cross the top of the dam, so he asked him to raise the top of the dam by five meters.
Wu Feng looked up at the sky, the heavy rain was pouring, and he didn't mean to stop at all.
Compared with Director Li in front of him, Wu Feng decisively chose to believe in Wei Zhenhui, who didn't understand water conservancy. After all, they had worked together for many years, and Wei Zhenhui had never made a mistake in analyzing things.
As for the person in front of him, Wu Feng does not distrust his profession, but he does things based on experience, and one day he will suffer.
Even he could see that the rain didn't mean to stop, and this person was still insisting on his own ideas.
"Director Li, to be on the safe side, how about we build another dam in the middle reaches? If the dam breaks, at least we still have a line of defense!" After finishing speaking, he pointed to the soldier galloping on the top of the dam.
"You see, there are surplus troops here. I drew out 500 soldiers, plus the strong labor of the reservoir employees and their families, and immediately rushed to the middle reaches!"
Director Li was obviously taken aback. He had already said that there would not be so much precipitation. The current preliminary forecast is that the rainfall is within the acceptable range of the dam. "This... Political Commissar Wu, is it a bit extravagant?"
"It's the best thing to do this. I also hope that something like that won't happen. Director Li, I'll leave it to you!" Wu Feng led 500 people and reservoir workers to the middle reaches without delay.
Two kilometers away from the dam, there was a half-repaired dam. Wu Feng immediately asked him to stop and asked the reservoir staff, "What is going on with the half-built dam here?"
