In the early morning of the 9th, the excavation was basically formed. Jiang Zaizhen impatiently said to Shang Zhen and Cheng.
He secretly reported his victory and requested for a few flat-fire cannons in the battle zone. He wanted to be foolproof, to be able to make a profit
Shang Zhen, Cheng Qian, and Jiang Jieshi also showed off their skills.
At 6:00 a.m. on June 9, Wei Rulin should have received the first good news. Zhu Zhenmin, the deputy commander of the new Eighth Division, recorded it in his diary.
"From 6 a.m. onwards, the stone foundation of the slope inside the dike will be destroyed with explosives." This means that the destruction of the strongest part of the dike has been completed.
Completed. Sure enough, after more than two hours, at 9 am, Wei Rulin finally returned to Zhengzhou to report on his mission.
- " Crevasse project completed, start releasing water." As the executor of the dike breach project, Xiong Xianyu recorded the moment he witnessed it.
Perhaps this was the conciseness of a soldier, but the shock it could convey was that he was in a state of emotional tension, tragic, and tragic.
It is not separated by more than 60 years of time. Today, people stand on the repaired Huayuankou dam to pursue this history again.
History, the word that was repeated the most by different people, was still tragic.
According to water experts, the width of the Yellow River levee was about 30 meters.
It was also a highway. Therefore, in retrospect, Xiong Xianyu's record of the new eighth division's method of breaking the dike was very skillful.
The top of the tunnel should be excavated 50 meters wide. This way, the tunnel could be excavated along the slope and slowly descend. When the water was released, it would not easily cause collapse.
And even if it was dug to the bottom of the river, it could still maintain a width of about 10 meters. The river could flow out on its own. In the middle of the dyke
They would keep it three meters wide and dig it out at the end. This way, they could keep the traffic between the east and west smooth. What was even smarter was that they were digging.
The time is also divided into steps, which can accommodate many people to work separately at the same time. Moreover, it is divided into the north and south sides of the dike to work at the same time.
Digging and transporting earth from east to west. Even with such a scientific construction, the soldiers of the new Eighth Division still spent two whole days and nights to complete it.
It could be seen how hard the Yellow River embankment was at that time.
Second, the trickle gradually became Wang Yang
The first wave of Yellow River water that gushed out of the crevasse was not turbulent. Xiong Xianyu described it as " the initial flow rate was very small." that night
At 22 o'clock, the secret message sent by Cheng Qian, the highest officer of the First Battle Area, to Jiang had a more specific description. After the completion of the project, the excavation was about 4 meters wide.
Rice." The water situation had been closely monitored. Just "an hour later," Zhu Zhenmin discovered that "the breach had widened due to the erosion of the water."
At more than 10 meters, the water became more violent and the main stream of the Yellow River gradually moved southward." At around 13 o'clock in the afternoon, the water situation described by Xiong Xianyu had reached the peak.
Like ten thousand horses galloping, looking far into the distance, and the crevasse was still collapsing due to the rapid flow of the water.
Xiong Xianyu and Zhu Zhenmin's memories of the day seemed to be slightly different in one detail, and that was the weather. Zhu Zhenmin recorded
It was June 9th, and it was raining in the afternoon. In Xiong Xianyu's diary, there was no trace of rain that day.
It was the day after the breach, June 10th." The weather was gloomy in the morning. After breakfast, the clouds were thick and it rained suddenly.
It rained all day." This was also the time when Xiong Xianyu wrote the most about the weather in his diary, because " This is really beneficial to the increase of the breach."
It's a good time to stop the enemy's mechanized troops." A summary of the water situation on June 9th was made as of 20:00 p. m.
,"The Dig was
The water had already reached 40 feet, and the water was more than ten feet deep. The waves were three feet high.
Through Xiong Xianyu's diary, it is still not difficult to figure out the conflicted and complicated feelings of the soldiers of the new Eighth Division. one hand, it is
The joy of receiving "special praise". Although the last time he went easy had already exceeded Shang Zhen's bounty of "6 am", Shang Zhen still had a lot of time left.
Obviously, he didn't mind. He even said that the new Eighth Division had worked hard and made great contributions, and that they would be rewarded with 2000 yuan. But on the other hand, even Xiong Xianyu's army
The understanding of human logic was,"This move was originally to stop the enemy and save the overall situation, so it did not hesitate to sacrifice a great deal in order to obtain the final victory."
However,"the houses and property of countless people have disappeared. It is expected that the river will affect several counties in a few days."
It hurts."
Like Shang Zhen, the anxious Jiang Jieshi received two pieces of anticipated news on June 9th: the breach of the dike at Huayuankou and
The main force of the 1st Battle Area had retreated westward.
At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Qian called for the first time to report the situation of the water coming out of Huayuankou after the breach. At 22 o'clock that night, Cheng Qian called again.
He continued to report the situation of the water release: "The area around Jingshui Town has become a swamp country. It is expected that the water will reach the Longhai Line tomorrow morning." Main Force of the First Battle Area
According to his deployment, the troops retreated along the Longhai line or the Yellow River embankment to the west of the Pinghan line. On this day, it finally ended.
