There was a loud bang, and a cloud of smoke rose from the sky above Hongqiao. The bridge sank into the water in an instant, leaving only the remaining steel frame pointing to the sky alone.
The huge air wave forced people to take a few steps back involuntarily.
Xu Yishan looked at the empty river in front of him, and felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart.
The flood water from the collapse of the dam entered the area of ??Hongshan Town in a blink of an eye, sweeping away wherever it went.
The roaring flood rushed up the banks of the embankment, knocking up the trees on the bank, and the soil on both sides of the embankment continued to collapse, making loud noises.
The flood carried sundries and whizzed by in front of it. Soon, the river overflowed the bank.
Xu Yishan roared: "Old Sun, build more embankments to ensure that the water does not enter the town."
Lao Sun, with red eyes, led a group of militiamen, and quickly built a row of sandbags on the embankment.
The flood came and went quickly. Two hours later, the river gradually calmed down.
? This thrilling flood, the stormy waves rolled up, quickly lost their wildness. Honghe returned to its former calm.
After the flood, like a tornado, the earth was devastated everywhere. Wherever the flood went, the earth was torn open, exposing the shocking black land.
Lao Sun looked at the scene in front of him with lingering fear, and sighed: "Fortunately, the detonation was timely. Otherwise, Hongshan Town would be destroyed if this flood rushed into the town."
Xu Yishan sighed softly and said: "Old Sun, remember, no matter who asks, you have to insist on one statement. I, Xu Yishan, blew up the bridge."
Old Sun looked at him in amazement, "Hey, Mayor Xu, are you trying to take credit from me? Obviously I pressed the detonator, so why did you do it?"
"Yes, I was the one who blew it up." Xu Yishan said aggressively, "Old Sun, the credit should go to me."
Lao Sun didn't speak, turned around and walked into the town.
When the flood receded, everyone was like the rest of their lives after a catastrophe, and they hadn't recovered yet.
Everyone is discussing that if the Hongqiao is not blown up and the flood is blocked, it will inevitably enter the town. If the flood breaks down the flood control embankment again, the huge force will destroy Hongshan Town to ashes.
Only by witnessing the power of the flood with your own eyes can you appreciate the power of nature.
Many people watched the Hongqiao being bombed, and watched the flood roaring past under their feet. The kind of fear that comes from the bones makes people tremble involuntarily when they recall it.
Once the Hongqiao is broken, there is a river between the east and west banks, and there is no possibility of communication.
What Xu Yishan thinks most now is to quickly restore the connection between the two sides of the strait. The bridge is gone, so there must be a boat.
The Honghe River is usually not navigable. After all, the river is too shallow, and a boat with a slightly deeper draft can easily run aground.
In the past, small sampans were the most common in the river. Small sampans are owned by the few people on the river who live exclusively on fishing. Due to the promotion of environmental protection in recent years, the Honghe River has banned fishing, and basically all the small sampans in the river have landed on the shore.
In the past, before the Hongqiao was completed, a diesel-powered ferry connected the two sides of the river.
Today, the ferry boat has long disappeared, and the person who drove the boat has been buried in the ground for many years.
As the saying goes, a thousand miles across the river. Don't underestimate a small Honghe River, without a tool to cross the river, the two banks are as close as the sky.
The west bank of Honghe River is where Hongshan Town is located. In this flood prevention and fighting, the west bank is the key protection object.
Laosun's militia team made indelible contributions in this flood fight. They built a gravel embankment on the flood embankment, which completely protected the safety of Hongshan Town.
On the east side across the river, the Golden Community was soaked to above the third floor by the flood that came ashore.
Duan Yanhua led a group of town cadres and officially began to inspect the post-disaster Hongshan Town.
In the afternoon, all the cadres of Hongshan Town held a meeting. At the meeting, Duan Yanhua announced that Minister Sun Wu of the Ministry of Armed Forces installed explosives to blow up the bridge without authorization, and his behavior constituted a serious violation of discipline. According to relevant regulations, the town decided to take organizational discipline against him. Make a decision after investigating the relevant issues clearly.
Duan Yanhua glanced at his frightened subordinates and said loudly: "If Comrade Sun Wu's actions constitute a crime, he will be transferred to the prosecution agency."
Xu Yishan was heartbroken when he heard that, he stood up and corrected: "Secretary Duan, there is something you may not understand clearly."
Duan Yanhua glanced at him displeasedly, waved his hand and said, "If you have any comments, you can talk about it after the meeting."
Xu Yishan shook his head and said, "No, I have to make it clear now. First of all, I arranged for the bombing of Hongqiao. I asked Director Meng for the explosives, didn't I?" He looked at Meng Liang, as if waiting for Meng Liang. respond.
Meng LiangchuGoing down, pretending that you didn't hear it, you didn't say a word.
"Second, I pressed the detonator to blow up the bridge myself. In other words, I made the decision to blow up Hongqiao from the beginning to the end, and it has nothing to do with Comrade Sun Wu."
"Really?" Duan Yanhua said with a half-smile, "Mayor Xu, this is not the time to be a hero. I might as well tell you that it was Comrade Sun Wu who found me and reported that he blew up the bridge."
"He is talking nonsense." Xu Yishan roared angrily: "Comrade Sun Wu is confounding right and wrong. I reiterate that I, Xu Yishan, blew up the bridge, and I personally bear the responsibility."
Both Xu Yishan and Lao Sun knew in their hearts that although bombing the bridge was the best way to save Hongshan Town, Duan Yanhua would not let the person who bombed the bridge go easily.
Just like Duan Yanhua once proudly said that Hongqiao is his son. Now you Xu Yishan and Lao Sun strangled his son to death with their own hands, can he let you go?
Just because both of them knew the seriousness behind this incident, both Xu Yishan and Lao Sun rushed to take the responsibility on themselves.
Xu Yishan also knew that there was a feud between Lao Sun and Duan Yanhua.
Old Sun was not transferred from Hongshan Town as he wished, because Duan Yanhua wanted to hold him firmly in the palm of his hand. Now, with such a good opportunity, how could Duan Yanhua let him go?
Xu Yishan had discussed with Lao Sun beforehand, and told Lao Sun to keep himself out of the matter at any time. After all, compared to Xu Yishan, Duan Yanhua would not put him to death.
Xu Yishan had already been mentally prepared. If the higher authorities were to pursue him, he would be solely responsible for blowing up the bridge, and at worst he would get rid of his deputy mayor.
"Don't discuss this matter for the time being." Duan Yanhua concluded: "The organization will investigate clearly. Before the investigation results come out, Comrade Sun Wu must cooperate with the investigation team's investigation."
The implication of this sentence is that Sun Wu will lose his freedom from now on.
Xu Yishan still wanted to argue, but Mayor Liu Wen quietly pulled the hem of his clothes and motioned him to keep silent with a wink.
?The meeting ended soon, and Duan Yanhua arranged the work at the meeting. Mayor Liu Wen took the lead to find out all the losses of the flood.
The various departments in the town are responsible for the post-disaster recovery work of the business outlet.
Only Xu Yishan didn't arrange any work.
Xu Yishan asked Duan Yanhua in a puzzled manner, "Secretary, what am I doing?"
Duan Yanhua glanced at him, smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to do anything now, rest."
Xu Yishan said anxiously: "Everyone is busy, so I am the only one resting?"
Duan Yanhua hummed and said, "What you should do will come sooner or later." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
