Military: If you agree to experience life, you will become a general

a house.

At this time, the roof of the house could not withstand such a heavy rain due to broken bricks and tiles, and water kept dripping into the room.

The old man looked at the roof, feeling the increasingly heavy rain outside, and he looked worried.

"Xiaolong, go find a basin and put it underneath. Don't let the rain flood the house."

"Okay, I'll go now."

In villages, seven-year-old boys are often much more mature than seven-year-old boys in towns.

Especially if there are elderly people with limited legs and feet at home.

At the age of seven, he has already shouldered a lot of responsibilities at home. The little boy can handle the tasks ordered by the old man very efficiently.

It wasn't until the little boy put a basin down corresponding to the crack in the roof that the old man became less worried.

Boom!

The six-year-old girl's body trembled instinctively as she listened to the occasional loud thunder outside.

"Grandpa, I'm afraid!"

The old man sat on the kang and patted the little girl's back with his rough, calloused hands to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, I believe someone will come to save us."

As he said that, the old man looked at Xiaolong who had just returned to the kang: "Xiaolong, I don't know when the heavy rain and wind outside will subside. You keep looking outside. As long as it gets smaller than now, you can run out."

Xiaolong couldn't understand what grandpa meant.

"Grandpa, I won't run away, I want to be with you!" the little boy cried with tears in his eyes.

The old man is very old at this time, and even his speech is very slow, which makes people anxious.

But now, after hearing his grandson's words, he said anxiously: "What are you talking about!"

"Only if you run out can we have hope of being rescued!"

"If you find someone else, you can come back and save us, so that your sister and I can survive!"

The little boy was silent, and the old man continued: "Is it possible that you want all three of our family to die here?"

Seeing the little boy nodding dullly, the old man felt relieved and said: "You go to the outhouse now. As long as the wind and rain outside are less severe, you can go out."

"Grandpa and your sister can only look forward to you."

The little boy held back his tears, wiped away his tears, and gave a strong sigh.

He went to the outhouse and looked out the window.

The old man sighed and murmured to the little girl who was still scared: "It's just a pain for you. If you were as old as your brother, I wouldn't be implicated by the old man."

"Hey~"

The little girl had been scared at this time, and coupled with the thunder outside that frightened her, she could not finish listening to what her grandfather said.

at the same time.

On the front line of flash floods, middle-aged officers used radios to immediately contact the rescue team about the situation.

"How is the situation of evacuating farmers over there? Isn't it finished yet?"

"I am taking care of the farmers' situation and cannot let any farmer stay!"

"You have to be quick, the front line can hold on for 10 minutes at most!"

"Yes!"

After a brief exchange, the rescue team has also finished reviewing the rescue situation.

"Report, some villagers from the seventh company of new recruits are returning for rescue. However, after several rescued villagers reported, there is another villager at the foot of the mountain!"

The battalion commander's face changed drastically, "What about the family situation? Are there any troops going to rescue?"

"There is an elderly man at home who has inconvenient legs and feet. He is accompanied by two young children, aged six and seven, at home."

"We didn't know about this during the rescue just now, so..."

"What should we do now? The rain is getting heavier and heavier. It is very likely that the village at the foot of the mountain..."

"To shut up!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Send a team immediately and come with me to rescue!"

"Yes!"

The current situation makes everyone's heart tighten.

The female reporter recorded the scene from a safe location and reported on it.

"As you can see, the situation on site is not optimistic!"

"The officers of the Gang army learned that there is a village at the foot of the mountain. There is an old man and two young children in the other house!"

"The heavy rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the other party is at the foot of the mountain. This rescue is likely to usher in a flash flood!"

"The officer has ordered the troops, and he will immediately take people to the rescue. Don't worry, I will go with him to the rescue scene and report more situations to you in real time!"

The troops were quickly assembled: "Report, the troops have been assembled!"

"Okay, act!"

"Report!" Before the team could take action, several recruits from the Seventh Company who had been stopped by Mai Xiaofei stopped them.

When they were securing the villagers, they overheard the reporter's voice, and they immediately understood what the battalion commander meant.

The situation is urgent now, and there may be a flash flood in the village at any time.

If we enter the village again at this time, it will only cause more casualties.

"Which company are you in?"

"I don't have time to talk to you now, get out of the way!"

At the critical moment of life and death, the recruits did not flinch: "Report to the battalion commander, we are the seventh company of recruits!"

"Our company commander has already gone to the village you are going to rescue. This time is very likely to have arrived. If you go there now, it will only increase the risk of more soldiers!"

The battalion commander didn't care about the tone of the recruit's words to him, but was anxious to confirm the accuracy of the other person's words.

"You mean, your company commander Mai Xiaofei has already gone to the rescue?"

"Yes!"

The battalion commander breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to the team behind him: "Get all the villagers into the car and leave on time in 5 minutes!"

"Yes!"

The timely information reported by the recruits of the Seventh Company made the surrounding soldiers heave a sigh of relief.

No one has heard of Mai Xiaofei's reputation. The other party went to rescue him, and the matter was basically settled.

The risk factor for rescues is much less than what they have done now.

When the female reporter heard this, she felt inexplicably relieved. She didn't have to go to such a crazy level for her job.

For the sake of popularity, I hope something happens to the villagers, and then let the soldiers go to rescue them.

"I believe everyone has heard of Mai Xiaofei's name."

"Without the knowledge of the current predicament, Mai Xiaofei has rushed to the rescue!"

"Now we hope that little hero Mai Xiaofei can safely rescue the victims of the village before the flash flood breaks out!"

With everyone's expectations, Mai Xiaofei walked through the dim environment under the heavy rain above his head.

The journey that originally took about seven or eight minutes was shortened to three minutes by Mai Xiaofei and he found his target.

When we arrived at the scene, it was just like what Mai Xiaofei had analyzed on the road. There was only this dilapidated house around.

When he came to the door, Mai Xiaofei didn't care anymore and kicked the door in directly.

Seeing the wooden door whirring in the strong wind, Mai Xiaofei did not hesitate, came to the door and kicked the door open directly.

Most of the doors in rural areas are wooden doors, especially in places where elderly people live. Their legs and feet are inconvenient and they cannot repair the door. After the passage of time, they only need to be kicked open.

In the room, the wooden door was kicked open by Mai Xiaofei. In an instant, the strong wind and rainstorm that blew outside rushed into the house.

The little boy who was always observing the outhouse was directly blown by the strong wind and flew backward.

The old man sitting on the kang has always been worried about his grandson, but now that he saw him being blown away by the wind, his heart suddenly jumped up.

He shouted Xiaolong's name in his old voice.

"Little dragon, little dragon!"

His legs and feet were inconvenient, and he was holding a little girl in his hands. It would be difficult to go over and help the little boy up.

In addition, the strong wind has now filled the entire outhouse, blowing directly into the room.

How could he, a half-buried old man, resist? Before he could get up, he and his granddaughter fell down on the kang.

Fortunately, Mai Xiaofei reacted quickly and ran to the little boy's side despite the strong wind.

Fortunately, the little boy didn't hit anything during the inverted flight. Otherwise, even though Mai Xiaofei was eager to save people, he would still feel guilty for the rest of his life.

He picked up the little boy. At this time, the little boy was still dazed by the knock. He just felt that he had finally picked him up.

Listening to the voice just now, Mai Xiaofei immediately judged the old man's location and went there quickly.

When he came to the kang and looked at the scratched old man and his granddaughter, Mai Xiaofei felt warm in his heart.

Despite the old man's difficulty in moving now, even when he was being blown by the strong wind, his hands were still firmly fixed on his granddaughter's body.

Mai Xiaofei said quickly: "Uncle, I am from the army and I am here to save you."

"Quick, I'll hold them both and carry you on my back, let's get out of here!"

When the uncle heard this, he raised his head despite the strong wind and looked at Mai Xiaofei.

When he saw Mai Xiaofei's clothes, his eyes heated up, as if he saw the hope of his granddaughter and grandson evacuating.

The uncle picked up his granddaughter with trembling hands.

"I'll forget it, my granddaughter and grandson will leave it to you!"

Mai Xiaofei held the little girl tightly with his other hand and did not give up on the old man.

"Uncle, it's enough for me to hold them with both hands. If you come here, you can hold my neck and leave even if I carry you on my back!"

The old man knew his situation and waved his hands weakly: "I am just a burden, as long as the two of them leave."

"Uncle, are you willing to entrust the two children to others? This time the two children are rescued, and we don't know who the children's parents are. What will they do then?"

The uncle seemed to be aware of this problem. He shakily sat up from the kang, but as soon as he sat down, the strong wind blew him away.

No matter how many times, the result is the same.

When Mai Xiaofei saw this, he immediately shouted to the two children on him: "You two, hold me tight!"

The little boy did not cry, but looked at his grandfather with a worried look.

The little girl had never seen such a scene before, and she was very timid. At this time, she was still struggling in Mai Xiaofei's arms, making a fuss and looking for her grandfather.

Hearing Mai Xiaofei's scolding, the little boy watched TV and knew that he was a soldier in the army, so he hugged Mai Xiaofei obediently.

How could the little girl listen? Her eyes were extremely panicked now, and all she could see was her grandfather who was blown away by the strong wind again and again.

In this situation, Mai Xiaofei knew that talking to the other party was useless, so he could only use one arm to pull the old man over.

"Uncle, give me your hand!"

The uncle opened his eyes and tremblingly handed his hand to Mai Xiaofei.

Taking the other person's hand, Mai Xiaofei used his arm to pull the other person over.

Immediately afterwards, without saying a word, Mai Xiaofei turned around and bent down slightly: "Uncle, hold me tight, I will take you out!"

Although the uncle didn't speak, his hands were only holding Mai Xiaofei's neck tightly.

"Let's go!" When they came outside, the three uncles were soaked by the heavy rain in an instant. When the strong wind blew on their faces, they could still feel the pain of the knife.

Mai Xiaofei can no longer take care of so much. Every second they waste now, they may not be able to escape.

Evacuate the team.

The battalion commander once again got contact with the officers on the front line who were resisting the flash flood.

"How's it going?"

"We still have the last villager here, who is returning for rescue!"

"In the last five minutes, if they haven't arrived yet, evacuate immediately, don't wait any longer!"

"Yes!"

They couldn't possibly ignore the safety of several carloads of villagers for the sake of one villager.

4 minutes passed.

The battalion commander looked towards the uncle's house, but saw no one. He clenched his hands tightly, and the palms of his hands, which still had no nails, had already been dug out with blood marks.

"Driver start the vehicle!"

During this period of recruit training, although Mai Xiaofei's training was cruel, they heard that Mai Xiaofei was doing it for their own good, and they gradually accepted it in their hearts.

Especially in the past half month, everyone has seen how quickly they have improved their strength.

Everyone recognized Mai Xiaofei even more.

Now seeing that the company commander has not returned yet and the company commander wants to drive again, Zhuang Xu quickly dissuades him: "Batalion Commander, wait a little longer. It will only take a few minutes. The company commander will definitely be back!"

The battalion commander felt heartbroken at this time, not only for the villagers, but also for Mai Xiaofei.

Mai Xiaofei's strength, as long as there are no accidents in the army, his importance to the country will be immeasurable in the future.

But now, the battalion commander suppressed his heartache and angrily scolded the recruits in front of him.

"To shut up!"

"Do you know what you are talking about?!"

"Wait for him, what about the villagers in the car waiting to be evacuated?!"

"Is it possible to let them sacrifice together?"

Zhuang Xu and others still didn't want to give up just like that, "Batalion Commander, when the time is up, you take the villagers away and we stay!"

"Yes, we stay!"

"Nonsense! Now is not the time for you to run wild. Recruit company No. [-], get in the car immediately! Hurry!"

"Why do you want to disobey military orders?!"

Lin Tao had no choice but to say: "Recruit company No. [-], get in the car!"

"Squad leader!"

"boarding!"

"Yes!"

After everyone got on the bus, the battalion commander turned his head reluctantly and looked at the location of the uncle's house, thinking to himself: Mai Xiaofei, are you really unable to make it back?
Seeing that the other party still hadn't come back after the last minute, he made up his mind and got into the co-pilot.

"drive!"

The co-pilot immediately drove away.

The female reporter was stunned when she saw this, and then reported: "Our hero Mai Xiaofei failed to return successfully during this rescue!"

"When the officer saw this, for the safety of tens of thousands of villagers, he had no choice but to order an evacuation!"

"Let us observe a moment of silence for our heroes."

A few seconds later, the reporter added: "I will leave with the car next and will provide more real-time reports for everyone."

At this time, a recruit sitting behind the wheel suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

"It's Captain Mai Xiaofei, he's back! He's back!"

The battalion commander in the driver's seat was shocked when he heard this. He looked along the rearview mirror. When he saw Mai Xiaofei's people, a rare smile appeared on his lips in this natural disaster.

"parking!"

After parking the car, Mai Xiaofei put the children and the elderly into the car safely, and then he followed closely and got into the green pickup truck.

"Keep going!"

As the vehicle started, he picked up the radio to contact frontline officers.

"Report, people here have begun to evacuate!"

After receiving the news, frontline officers also ordered the troops to start leaving.

In the car, the uncle and two children had been accommodated by other villagers, who helped dry the rainwater on their bodies with clothes.

At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the children will not catch cold due to humidity before reaching the safe area.

Soon, the vehicle drove the villagers back to a safe area at the fastest speed.

At this time, the battalion commander, who had just gotten off the bus, received a call from his superiors.

After hearing this, the battalion commander looked serious and shouted: "Yes!"

The villagers had already been settled by the soldiers stationed here. Soldiers from other companies immediately gathered around after hearing his voice.

For the battalion commander to be so serious at this time, there must be support somewhere.

The battalion commander turned around and said: "I just received an order from my superiors. Due to the flash flood, the drainage system of the town closest to the village has failed!"

"We are now ordered to go to support immediately!"

"Everyone gathers!"

In a short period of 1 minute, each company commander shouted: "The assembly is complete!"

At this time, the vehicle heading for support was already in a semi-started state, and the battalion commander immediately said: "Get in!"

"drive."

hum-

After all, it was a military green pickup truck with strong power. Following the order, the driver stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

Watching the vehicle in front of her leave, the female reporter was a little confused. She was just recording the rescued villagers, why did they leave?
Thinking about it, he immediately asked his team to drive to catch up.

"Don't worry, everyone, we will definitely catch up with them and update you on the latest situation!"

On the way there, the battalion commander and the soldiers of the company also sat in the back of the truck.

Recalling the mission he had just received, he looked solemn and said, "This mission is different from the previous one."

"At the rescue location, the floodwater has reached the height of a car."

"This will add a lot of trouble to our subsequent rescue operations."

"Therefore, during the rescue operation, everyone must be alert to prevent dangers encountered at any time and ensure the safety of all compatriots!"

"Yes!"

Arriving at the destination, everyone gets off the bus.

Mai Xiaofei and others were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.

The height of the flood was much higher than a car.

In addition, because they are all washed down from the mountains, the floods are extremely fast. If someone falls into the floods without something fixed to stabilize them, they are likely to be washed downstream.

By then, human life safety will become unknown.

This had already worried Mai Xiaofei and the others, but what made them angry was that the soldiers from other companies came to the rescue in advance, but at this time they stood indifferently from a high position.

"What are they all doing here?"

"In this situation, is it possible that they are still resting?"

Mai Xiaofei said nothing, but his understanding of the soldiers meant that in this situation, he would definitely not worry about his own rest first.

There must be some problem ahead, so they were intercepted here.

The battalion commander's idea was similar to that of Mai Xiaofei. He quickly came to the other party and found that the other party was the recruits of the Second Battalion of the Tiger Regiment.

"Lao He? What's going on at the scene?"

Lao He has been observing the terrain, his brain working rapidly to think about the next action.

Suddenly, hearing a familiar voice beside him, he turned around and looked.

"You are here."

Seeing the other party nodding, Lao He said solemnly: "The situation is not optimistic."

"We have rescued several compatriots at the beginning and they have been sent away from here."

"Then why do you still..."

"Did you see the building in front of you?" Lao He pointed in the direction of the building with the wooden stick in his hand. "Behind that building, there was a sewer problem before. The workers were still repairing it before it rained."

"But when the heavy rain turned to heavy, they were also worried about flooding, so they evacuated immediately and forgot to close the manhole cover."

"As a result, the several open sewers naturally formed small whirlpools after encountering the current flood."

Realizing the serious situation, the third battalion commander was stunned and asked, "Don't you think of a way?"

"I thought about it, we could let the soldiers go into the water and block those sewers."

"But the question is, who can carry a few heavy manhole covers and swim in such a fast river to the location of the building?"

The third battalion commander suddenly realized that, not to mention the weight of the manhole cover, just swimming a few hundred meters against the flood would take a considerable amount of energy.

Who can swim with such a heavy manhole cover?

"Then there is no other way?"

"Yes, I have contacted my superiors. I need them to send a helicopter for support, but it will take more than ten minutes to get there."

At this point, even if Lao He didn't say anything else, the surrounding officers and soldiers also knew the problem.

In this situation, every minute wasted may delay the death of one person.

If it were delayed for more than ten minutes, the consequences would be disastrous.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Mai Xiaofei suddenly stood up: "Report!"

The third battalion commander heard the sound and instinctively turned his head to look.

But when he saw Mai Xiaofei, he frowned, "No!"

With Mai Xiaofei's temperament, there is no need to think about it when he hears such a thing. He must want to take over this job.

Mai Xiaofei said in a serious tone: "Battal Commander, you and I both know the current situation. Waiting for the helicopter to come for support is tantamount to abandoning the lives of our compatriots!"

How could the battalion commander not know this truth, but Mai Xiaofei's strength and talent are so needed for China now!

In the rescue just now, he failed to stop Mai Xiaofei, so he could only accept the reality.

Now, since Mai Xiaofei is beside him, he must stop Mai Xiaofei from doing stupid things!

"No, this matter is not negotiable!"

"Batalion Commander!!" Mai Xiaofei was worried about the safety of his compatriots, so much so that now he no longer had the same courtesy when speaking to the battalion commander, and shouted anxiously: "Batalion Commander, who else in the team has the physical ability? Better than me!"

"I won't go. If I let others go, it will only increase the danger for the soldiers!"

Seeing the battalion commander's silence, Mai Xiaofei said in a soothing tone: "Battal Commander, let me go!"

"I promise to come back alive!" (End of Chapter)
