"Commander, your physical condition is too poor to get in. I'm strong, I can do it!"
"I'll do it! I'm an excellent climber! And a good swimmer too!"
The various regimental commanders shouted in unison.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers rushed over, eager to detonate the explosives!
"Shut up, all of you!"
The division commander roared, looking at the soldiers' incredibly youthful yet resolute faces, and said in a deep voice, "I am the division commander! You are my soldiers! If anyone is to die, it will be me, the division commander, who dies first!"
"Get someone to bring me the explosives right now! I'll detonate the bomb!"
"Commander!"
"Execute the order!" the division commander shouted again.
"Yes!"
With red eyes and tears streaming down his face, the guard led his men to retrieve the explosives.
Soon, the explosives were brought over.
Accompanying them was a mid-level manager from the dam.
"The four large gates are all cast from special steel and are extremely sturdy! To blow them up, each gate would need to be equipped with at least eighty kilograms of explosives!"
"Given the current rate of flooding, at least two dams must be demolished to ensure the water level drops and doesn't breach the levee!"
Upon hearing this, the division commander and the soldiers were dumbfounded!
One gate requires eighty kilograms of explosives, so two gates would require one hundred and sixty kilograms!
Three hundred and twenty pounds!
Even a person lightly dressed would find it difficult to enter under the gate!
Not to mention carrying a 320-pound bomb!
Who could have such great physical strength?
Now, the soldiers present are all basically exhausted. If they were asked to carry tens or hundreds of kilograms, they might be able to manage.
But that's 320 jin!
"I'll give it a try!"
At this moment, a relatively strong soldier rushed up, wanting to carry the 320-pound explosives on his back.
He roared and tried with all his might to stand up.
The explosive only wobbled slightly and didn't even leave the ground.
Failed!
The other soldiers also came up one by one to try, but it just didn't work!
Just as the division commanders decided to blow up one of the dams to ease the water level before thinking of other solutions, a voice came from behind them.
"I'll do it."
A slightly thin figure pushed through the crowd and walked in.
Everyone turned to look.
"It's you!"
The division commander also recognized Tang Ming.
"Comrade Tang Ming, can you carry all this explosives?"
The division commander said with a face full of expectation.
They had all witnessed Tang Ming carrying three or four bags of sand up the dam!
"Platoon leader!"
When the members of the Seventh Company saw Tang Ming step forward, their eyes all reddened.
They all knew what the consequences would be if they carried explosives down to blow up the gate.
But right now, none of them could lift that 320-pound explosive.
Tang Ming smiled at them and said, "Someone always has to sacrifice, so why can't it be me?"
"If I die, I can save over two hundred thousand lives. It's a worthwhile trade!"
Tang Ming smiled.
Those present who heard this felt both respect and admiration for Tang Ming.
The division commander grasped Tang Ming's hand directly, his voice slightly hoarse, and said, "Good boy, is there anything you want me to tell your family?"
Tang Ming shook his head slightly and said, "I have no family, so it's alright."
Indeed, after Tang Ming transmigrated to this world, both his parents had already passed away.
He was raised by his grandparents.
But before he joined the army, his grandparents also passed away one after the other.
He was an orphan.
You can't take anything with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die.
Unexpectedly, even in this second life, I, Tang Ming, will die young.
However, dying for the motherland and the people this time was worthwhile.
"I'll have someone tie a safety rope to you and send you down," the division commander said.
"I don't need that thing, I can get down by myself!"
Tang Ming said, "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission!"
"Commander, leaders, brothers, the rest is in your hands."
Tang Ming calmly spoke to everyone, picked up the walkie-talkie, and then shouted in a low voice as he hoisted the 320-pound explosives onto his back: "If I really die, don't bother looking for my body. Just let me remain in this beautiful land."
After saying that, Tang Ming carried the explosives and walked directly up the dam.
All ten thousand soldiers present had tears in their eyes at that moment.
For Tang Ming's greater cause!
For Tang Ming's sacrifice!
"Salute to young hero Tang Ming!"
The division commander suddenly roared loudly and hoarsely.
boom!
All ten thousand soldiers stood at attention and saluted Tang Ming.
There were also some fearless reporters who remained at the scene.
This includes the host who previously clamored for the division commander and Tang Ming to pay the price.
At this moment, the host was also moved by Tang Ming's sense of duty as a soldier and his sense of righteousness.
"He is a hero of our Chinese nation!"
"They are our pride!"
The female host finally realized her mistake and bowed deeply to Tang Ming to express her respect!
As Tang Ming walked towards the dam, he waved to them with his back to them.
Once he reached the top of the dam, he saw the floodwaters rushing down the dam head.
On both sides of the dam are vertical walls.
The distance from the top of the gate to the bottom is 30 meters. Below the gate is a large flood discharge river with a slope of 65 degrees.
At this moment, people on both sides were also being swept down by the flood.
If it were anyone else, even with a rope, they probably wouldn't be able to get down and would be swept away by the flood!
But Tang Ming has climbing skills, so it's worth a try!
How is he going to get down?
All ten thousand-plus officers and soldiers stared intently at Tang Ming.
All we saw was Tang Ming finding a relatively remote spot and then diving right in!
Wow!
The soldiers on the scene erupted in an uproar, their faces changing drastically.
Even if you don't get swept away by the flood, you'll still die if you jump!
It's over thirty meters high below!
What they didn't know was that Tang Ming was clinging tightly to the wall with both hands and feet, and was climbing down quickly!
Although the floodwaters had a strong impact, they were not enough to wash them away.
He quickly jumped onto the platform outside the gate.
Because the water was flowing downwards at a certain angle, there wasn't much floodwater reaching him.
Before the division commander and the soldiers outside could react to Tang Ming's sudden act of jumping down, Tang Ming's voice came through the division commander's walkie-talkie.
"Rest assured, leaders, I have landed safely. Now, begin installing the explosives! Detonate in one minute!"
The division leaders and soldiers were delighted to hear Tang Ming's voice.
But then, a deep sadness appeared in his eyes.
If the explosion were detonated under these circumstances, Tang Ming would undoubtedly die!
Tang Ming quickly located the best blasting position and then installed the explosives.
Looking at the less than one-meter-long fuse, Tang Ming gave a wry smile.
