Riverside Police.

Saving people is like putting out a fire, not to mention there are nearly [-] people on Jiangxinzhou!
Binsha Ferry Company received an order from the municipal defense authority to dispatch the only and only double-bottom ferry.

There are several single-bottom ferries, but they are far less safe and stable than double-bottom ferries. Under such harsh weather conditions, they can only be anchored in the harbor basin to avoid wind.The captain's crew must be on duty on the ferry in case the anchor runs out of control.

Han Yu commanded 001 to meet the ferry in the Qidu waters of Binsha, and guided the ferry to the north side of the small pier in Jiangxinzhou overnight.

The ferry could not reach the shore, so it could only anchor one kilometer upstream from the small pier.

001 stepped up to the pier cautiously against the strong wind and rain, and Han Yu bowed his waist and jumped ashore. Seeing a township cadre and two village cadres who had been waiting for a long time, they had a brief exchange, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

Jiangxinzhou is not a small sandbar, but a small island of [-] square kilometers.

There is a farm equivalent to a village-level unit on the island, and the farm has more than a dozen production teams.

The tide level of the Yangtze River is soaring, the river has overflowed several continental embankments, and the torrential river is rushing into the fields.It rained continuously for more than nine hours, and the accumulated water in the embankment could not be drained out. Standing on a high place and using a waterproof flashlight to shine under the embankment, I saw that the embankment had become a swamp country.

The water in the river channel on the island has flooded the embankment, submerged stretches of farmland, and many roads that are not high enough have been flooded.The young and strong workers are all on the embankment and can evacuate at any time, but the old, weak, women and children did not go up the embankment, and at least more than 100 people were trapped at home!

"Director Han, please help us save people first, we can't leave the elderly and children alone."

"We have more than a dozen cement boats. I have arranged party members and cadres and militiamen to pick them up. Wait for us for two hours, at most two hours, please!"

Before deciding to evacuate, the deputy township head surnamed Chen and the village cadres had stood firm on the embankment for more than ten hours.

They hit wooden stakes, piled straw bags, carried them on their shoulders, and reinforced and raised several precarious embankments.

However, human power is limited in the face of natural disasters. Although they have done everything they can, they still cannot stop the rising river and the pouring rain.

Deputy Township Chief Chen was afraid that 001 and the ferry would not wait for the typhoon, so he held Han Yu's hand tightly, speaking in a tone of begging, and the old branch secretary burst into tears.

Han Yu also didn't want to and couldn't leave the old and weak women and children behind, wiped the rain off his face, and shouted: "Director Zhao, immediately organize forces to use assault boats to assist Zhang Zhishu to pick up people!"

Zhao Hongxing regained his composure, and immediately turned around and said, "Dong Bangjun, Zhang Bigong, what are you doing in a daze, unload the assault boat immediately, prepare two more barrels of gasoline, and follow me to save people!"

"thanks, thanks……"

"Now is not the time to be polite."

The township cadres and the old party secretary did not want to leave the old and weak women and children behind. Han Yu also had to disregard the safety of all the police and ferry crew. Whatever counts, 001 and the ferry must evacuate before twelve o'clock!"

The old branch secretary asked eagerly: "Director Han, our villagers live scattered. It's pitch black, and the roads are all cut off. It's probably too late to pick them up by boat, what should we do for those who can't leave?"

"That's right, Director Han, the cement boat we summoned has no oars, and it's all propped up with pennies. It won't get up anytime soon!"

"Don't worry, we won't leave the masses alone."

Han Yu took a few deep breaths and said very seriously: "We must evacuate before twelve o'clock, but before we evacuate, we will leave eight policemen and three assault boats behind. They will continue to search and rescue."

Time is urgent, so it can only be arranged in this way.

Zhao Hongxing said without hesitation: "I will stay, and I will lead the team to organize the search and rescue. There must be places on the island with higher terrain. After searching for the remaining people, we will move the stranded people to a relatively safe place and wait for the typhoon to pass. Then ask the Korean Bureau to organize the evacuation."

"Thank you both, I'll stay too, I know you better than you on the island."

"This is the best way, organize the people on the embankment to board the boat first, and I will send the people on the embankment to the ferry first!"

……

It is impossible to organize search and rescue on the island without a guide.

After discussing with the old branch secretary, Deputy Township Chief Chen decided to start the search and rescue from the nearest production team, and arranged for the villager team leader to board the assault boat of the Shuishang Branch.

Although the center of the typhoon did not reach Binjiang, the wind was increasing.

The captain of the ferry tried his best to control the posture of the ferry. Ma Jintao and Zhu Baogen fastened the safety ropes. One stood at the bow of 001 and the other stood at the stern of 001. .

With the help of the ferry crew, groups of people were transferred to the ferry.

At 45:[-] in the middle of the night, three assault boats picked up the third group of people.

Han Yu saw that the water had already overflowed the embankment here, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. He didn't dare to connect as before, so he immediately raised the 001 tweeter: "Zhao Bureau, Zhao Bureau, I, Han Yu, Time is running out, please pull up your horsepower, don't stop, rush across the embankment, and go directly to the ferry."

"Roger that!"

"Captain Yu, I, Han Yu, the assault boat is coming, please turn the rudder to the left, adjust the course, lower the rear boom, and let the assault boat rush to the deck!"

"Just rush up like a car gets on a boat?"

"Well, please prepare to respond."

"Well, I have no problem here, I am mainly worried about the assault boat."

"They've all been trained and they're fine!"

Han Yu put down the walkie-talkie and picked up the tweeter again: "Brother Yang, Brother Yang, prepare to launch flares to illuminate the boarding of the assault boat."

"Understood." Yang Yong quickly opened the command cabin door and took out the flare launcher that had been prepared earlier.

At this time, three assault boats carrying more than 001 people had rushed over the embankment. Under the guidance of [-] and the ferry's searchlights, they pulled up their horsepower like three arrows and rushed towards the boarding deck of the ferry that had just been lowered.

boom!
Flares soared into the sky and slowly fell towards the ferry in the strong wind. It was like daylight within a mile.

"Comrades, hurry up!"

Dong Bangjun, a policeman from the water sub-bureau, let out a roar, held the joystick of the engine, adjusted the course, saw the opportunity, and rushed straight to the rear deck of the ferry.

The moment he was about to rush onto the ferry, he slammed down the joystick and tilted up the engine and the small propeller installed on the back of the assault boat. Only in this way would the engine and propeller not be damaged.

Facts have proved that the previous training is useful, and the assault boat just ran aground on the ferry deck steadily.

Several ferry crew members and the militiamen who had been transferred to the ferry swarmed up, helped the elderly and children on the assault boat as quickly as possible, and then helped to pull the assault boat aside.

They just vacated the "landing deck", and the second assault boat followed...

After confirming that the three assault boats had safely transferred the people to the ferry, Han Yu held up the walkie-talkie and asked, "Major Chen, how many people are there on the island?"

"28."

"Major Chen, I am responsible not only for the ferry and 001, but also for the more than 300 people on the ferry. We can't wait any longer. The wind is too strong. We must evacuate immediately."

"I know, you go first!"

"Zhao Ju, I will hand over the people on the island to you. I will pick you up when the typhoon passes."

"We're fine, you hurry up!"

There was no other way, so Han Yu could only bid farewell to Zhao Hongxing and the others in tears.

On the way to guide the ferry back to the voyage, the high-frequency radio station of the harbor supervisor and the command frequency of the public security walkie-talkie seemed to explode.

On the opposite bank, a sluice dike burst, and the flood flooded back, rushing wildly!

The city leaders of Zhangjiagang are organizing cadres and the masses to take blockage measures on the embankment. If the blockage cannot be blocked, Zhangjiagang, a newly civilized city and a sanitary city that plays an important role in the country, will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Zhangjiagang also has an inhabited sandbar in the river, and it is not far from here.

It can be heard from the radio conversation that many people are trapped on the sandbar, but the "vanguard" of the typhoon has come, and if 001 does not enter the port to take shelter from the wind, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

Han Yu couldn't help even if he wanted to, so he gritted his teeth and returned.

At 48:[-], the rescue team sailed safely into the Binsha Qidu Harbor Basin. When everyone was busy organizing the evacuated people from Jiangxinzhou to disembark, Han Yu finally remembered his family and hurriedly called his senior sister.

"The dormitory was flooded. Mother and teacher took Hanhan to Xiaoyu's house. Xiaoyu's house is located on a high ground and is a building. They are safe in Xiaoyu's house!"

"Is there any problem with the river embankment at Bailong Port?"

"Not for the time being. The river embankment and sluice embankment on the Linghai side are fine for the time being, but the seawall on the Sanzao Harbor side seems to have collapsed for a while. Fortunately, there are two seawalls. Secretary Ye is organizing forces to strengthen the second seawall there. road."

"What about the dock dam?"

"It's fine for now, Mayor Shen just went to see it."

Han Xiangning knew that the younger brother was worried about his hometown, so he thought about it and added: "The cadres are all on the river embankment, and each is responsible for a section. Whoever is responsible for the embankment section will be held accountable for problems! Now we must not only guard the river embankment, but also Hold the embankment, the low-lying farmlands are all flooded, and now they are desperately draining water."

Han Yu asked eagerly, "Are you ready?"

"If it can't be drained, it must be drained. Now not only the river water is higher than the roofs under the embankment, but the water levels in the Jianghai River, Binqi River and Bailong River are higher than the roofs under the embankment."

"The typhoon has come, and 001 was blown left and right in the harbor basin. If the power poles are blown down, it will be troublesome if the power outages are lost at the riverside and drainage stations along the river."

"Mayor Shen has thought about it a long time ago. He just called the power supply company and asked them to arrange for someone to come and prepare for emergency repairs at any time. But the power supply company can't care about it. Now we can only resign ourselves to fate."

"Resign to fate?"

"How many people are there in the power supply company? It is said that there are not many people in the power installation company."

Encountering such a catastrophe, Han Yu realized that it was useless to be anxious, so he could only say helplessly: "There are still more than [-] people on Jiangxin Island. Zhao Ju and Dong Bangjun are staying on Jiangxin Island. I will wait for the typhoon to pass. I'm going to take care of it, but I can't go back for the time being."

"It's fine at home, you take shelter over there first, I'll call you if there's anything else."

"Ningning, I have nothing to worry about on the barge. After all, I have experienced several typhoons, so nothing should happen. I am mainly worried about Old Antique."

"Old Antique has nothing to worry about. The engineering ships and construction personnel from the Waterway Engineering Bureau and Navigation Engineering Bureau are all sheltering here. If anything happens, I will ask them for help."

"Okay, then I'll hang up first."

……

The wind is rustling and the flood is crazy!
The typhoon howled all night, and the torrential rain also fell all night.

Whether it is Han Yu who is sheltering from the wind at the Binsha Qidu Harbor Pool, Secretary Ye who is directing the reinforcement of the second seawall at Sanzao Port, and Deputy Mayor Shen who is holding on to the riverbank at the Sanhe Section, they are all physically and mentally exhausted, but no one Dare to close their eyes to rest, everyone frowned and remained silent, praying secretly in their hearts, expecting a miracle to appear.
