Chapter 119: For Zhang Chuan's sacrifice! Salute to Comrade Zhang Chuan!
"Commander, fellow comrades, brothers, I leave the rest to you."
Zhang Chuan said to everyone calmly, picked up the intercom, and then shouted loudly, resolutely carrying the 640 kilograms of explosives: "If I really die, don't come looking for my body, let me rest in peace among these magnificent mountains and rivers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chuan carried the explosives and walked straight towards the dam.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers at the scene, all with tears in their eyes.
For Zhang Chuan's bravery!
For Zhang Chuan’s sacrifice!
"Salute to Comrade Zhang Chuan!"
The commander shouted hoarsely.
Bang!
Tens of thousands of soldiers stood at attention in unison and saluted Zhang Chuan solemnly.
At this time, there were still some brave reporters in the crowd who stayed here.
Among them was the female anchor who once claimed that she would make the commander and Zhang Chuan pay the price.
At this moment, the female anchor was also deeply moved by Zhang Chuan's military spirit and noble sentiments.
"He is our Chinese hero!"
“It’s our pride!”
The female anchor realized her mistake, bowed deeply and apologized to Zhang Chuan.
Zhang Chuan waved goodbye to them as he walked towards the dam.
When we reached the top of the dam, we saw the flood hitting the dam violently and rushing downwards.
On both sides of the dam are straight concrete walls.
From the top of the dam to the bottom of the gate, it is a full ninety meters high, and under the gate is a flood discharge channel with a slope of 65 degrees.
At this time, a large amount of flood water was flowing rapidly down on both sides.
If it were someone else, even with a rope to help, they would likely be washed away by the flood.
But Zhang Chuan has climbing skills, so he can give it a try.
"How is he going to get down?"
Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers stared at Zhang Chuan nervously.
Zhang Chuan chose a place closer to the side and dived down without hesitation!
Wow!
The soldiers at the scene exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with shock.
If you jump down like this, even if you are not washed away by the flood, you will be smashed to pieces!
It’s more than thirty meters high below!
But what they didn't know was that at this time, Zhang Chuan had his hands and feet tightly pressed against the wall, climbing down quickly.
Although the impact of the flood was strong, it did not wash him away.
He jumped nimbly onto a platform next to the gate.
Because the water flows downward at an angle, this place was not flooded.
Just as the division commander and the soldiers outside had not yet reacted to Zhang Chuan's sudden leap, Zhang Chuan's voice came from the walkie-talkie in the division commander's hand.
"Don't worry, leaders. I have arrived safely. Now I need to install the explosives! They will detonate in one minute!"
Hearing Zhang Chuan's voice, the division leaders and soldiers felt a little relieved.
But then, their eyes were filled with deep sadness.
If the explosion continues under such circumstances, Zhang Chuan will definitely be in great danger!
Zhang Chuan quickly found the most suitable explosion location and placed the explosives.
Looking at the fuse that was less than one meter long, Zhang Chuan smiled bitterly.
This kind of explosives is different from the ones out there that burn slowly after being ignited.
Once this fuse is ignited, it will burn into the interior of the explosive at an extremely fast speed, causing an explosion!
Generally, this type of explosive is preceded by an electronic ignition to facilitate remote control detonation. However, in such an environment, the area not soaked by the flood is limited, and coupled with the continuous rain, a long fuse is easily dampened and cannot be detonated.
Zhang Chuan raised his head slightly, stared at the thirty-meter-high steel gate, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Forget it, life and death are determined by fate!"
As he spoke, Zhang Chuan pulled the fuse suddenly, then jumped towards the steep slope and the rolling flood below!
If he jumped down, there might be a glimmer of hope. After all, the raging flood would not necessarily knock him down or drown him.
But if you stay there, you will be blown to pieces by hundreds of kilograms of explosives!
There is not even a one in ten thousand chance of survival!
So he jumped without hesitation!
That's when he pulled the fuse.
boom!
The deafening explosion echoed between heaven and earth!
It felt like a major earthquake had occurred within a mile around!
As soon as the explosives exploded, the two huge gates collapsed instantly.
The flood that was originally flooding everywhere rushed towards the two gaps madly. Huge waves rolled and rushed down from the gaps like a tsunami!
Seeing this scene, tens of thousands of soldiers on the field were all excited and cheered loudly.
"Platoon leader!"
Only those comrades in the Seventh Company who were familiar with Zhang Chuan did not immediately join in the cheers. Instead, they wailed along with the explosions.
After a brief moment of joy, the division commander and other soldiers gradually calmed down.
They looked at the unstoppable flood, and the thin but determined figure just now appeared in their minds, and their noses couldn't help but feel sore.
"Salute to the heroes!"
The division commander shouted again, and tens of thousands of soldiers faced the direction of the gate and saluted solemnly!
Zhang Chuan carried explosives and decided to blow up the gate at the cost of his own life. This tragic act quickly spread throughout the country and even the entire army.
During this period, superiors also sent a team to search for Zhang Chuan's body downstream.
However, no trace of him could be found.
The flood was so fierce that it swept through many large and small rivers. Zhang Chuan's body might have been washed away by the rushing water to the wide river surface dozens or even hundreds of miles away.
Within a few days, people all over the country knew about Zhang Chuan's heroic deeds, and countless compatriots silently mourned for this hero.
Various media outlets reported on this and highly praised Zhang Chuan's spirit of courage to sacrifice for the country and the people.
The military top brass even issued an order requiring the entire army to learn from Zhang Chuan's spirit of selfless dedication and sacrifice.
In the afternoon after the order was conveyed, at the Wolf Fang Special Forces’ base.
As members of the special forces, the Langyas naturally do not need to participate in the front line of flood control. Their mission is to be on standby at all times and deal with various emergency criminal tasks, so they must stay at the Langya base.
At this time, the high school team was sweating profusely on the training ground with the members of the Lone Wolf Commando.
Suddenly, He Zhijun drove over.
"Everyone, pay attention, stand at attention!" When the high school team saw this, they immediately stopped training and quickly stepped forward.
"Captain, the Lone Wolf Commando is conducting combat and shooting training as planned. Please give instructions!"
The high school team reported loudly.
"Lone Wolf Commando, everyone assemble!"
He Zhijun had a serious look on his face, and his tone revealed a rare heaviness.
The high school team was puzzled. They hadn’t seen the captain so serious for a long time. Was there something wrong with the team?
Soon, the members of the Lone Wolf Commando stood up straight, ready to go.
He Zhijun glanced at the senior team leader, Zhuang Yan and other team members, and said solemnly: "Dear comrades, I am going to tell you a piece of news that is both heavy and glorious for us."
"Heavy and glorious?" "What does this mean?" The team members looked at each other, full of confusion.
