Riverside Police.

At 27:[-] in the morning, the engineering fleet of the first emergency commando team moved to the Fengnan section of the Yangtze River Embankment in Shishou City.

Commander Meng of the 402nd Army had only seen Du Yuan use grouting to protect the pipeline in danger, but had never seen the amphibious formation of the "Hong Kong Garrison".

Xianyu gathered forces today to fight in the dangerous section of Fengnan. Commander Meng came to the embankment early to see how Xianyu and others built the breakwater in the river.

You don't know if you don't take a look, it's really eye-opening.

A large tugboat dragged a floating crane and several barges full of emergency supplies to the waters in front of us. Once anchored, the floating crane was assisted by the large tugboat to enter the designated position, and the large crane was used to continuously move towards the inside and outside of the embankment. An iron belt sandbag cage with a weight of nearly one ton is hoisted, and the landing point for large-scale construction machinery to land is first built.

At the same time, engineering and technical personnel such as Xu Gong, Yao Gong and Sun Gong, with the assistance of Binjiang Public Security 001 and Yangtze River Public Security 110, used the buoys made by the machine repair team to release the line on the water.

The line has just been laid here, the scope of the breakwater to be built has been planned, and the landing point has almost been built.

A large steam ferry slowly approached, and with the assistance of a large tugboat and Binjiang police boat 001, it carefully approached the landing point bit by bit and lowered the landing deck.

Immediately afterwards, under the command of a safety officer, a large excavator drove from the steam ferry to the embankment at the newly reinforced landing point, and stretched its long main arm down to dig soil and build a construction access road.

The bucket is very big, and it can grab at least two or three cubic meters of soil with one claw.

The inside of the embankment had been cushioned with iron belt sandbag cages before. In less than 10 minutes, the gentle slope of the lower embankment was repaired. Two large loaders, a large dump truck and eight tractors went ashore just like this, but there was no rush to rush to the embankment. Instead of building a breakwater, it traveled about 800 meters to the south to build a construction access road for the second breakwater.

The large tugboat was also not idle. Under the dispatch of the chief commander of water navigation, the floating crane was towed to the water surface where the second breakwater was to be built, and the sandbag cage was thrown continuously as before to build a landing point for the coming second detachment.

This is the dangerous section registered in Jingzhou Fangzhi, and the next big project will be carried out.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Defense Command and Commander Huang of the Jingzhou Military Division arrived by car. After saluting Commander Meng and saying hello, he asked eagerly: "Comrade Han Yu, there is no danger of embankments or river beaches. The total length of the section is [-] kilometers, is it enough to build only two breakwaters?"

"At the beginning, I also planned to cultivate four ways. After repeated calculations, XCMG thought that two ways would be enough."

"From 06 o'clock last night to 30:10,000 this morning, we took the initiative to abandon three embankments to store floodwater. In order to protect the Jingjiang embankment, [-]+ ordinary people gave up their small homes to protect everyone, and the economic loss was hundreds of millions."

"I know, I heard that some militia brothers died yesterday afternoon."

"two."

"two!"

"Well, one jumped off the breach to block the water and bought time for the PLA officers and soldiers to rush to repair the subdike, and was washed away. The other died while saving a child who fell into the water after fighting for nearly a month without getting out of the line of fire with a high fever."

The two basic militiamen just disappeared. Commander Huang was heartbroken, clenched his fists and said: "We have paid such a high price and suffered such a great loss, so this embankment must not be lost!"

The reason why the Yangtze River embankment on both sides of the Jingjiang River can resist the three flood peaks is not due to the Linghai Reserve Battalion, or even the PLA and armed police officers and soldiers who came to support one after another, but the cadres and masses on both sides of the strait, especially the 10,000+ convened by the Jingzhou Military Division. militia!

People have fought against floods on dikes since before the first flood peak came, and have been fighting until today.

It can be said that without them patrolling the embankment day and night, discovering and reporting the danger in time, the emergency rescue commando would have no chance of rescue, because the embankment has already collapsed, no matter how well equipped and prepared you are, it is useless.

Without their strict defense, it would be impossible for the hundreds of kilometers of Yangtze River embankment to reach the height of the flood peak. After all, there are only a few people in the emergency rescue team, and it is already very good to be able to hold a two-kilometer embankment section. Come to support The People's Liberation Army and armed police officers and soldiers seem to be quite large, but they can't defend such a long embankment, and their numbers may only be a fraction of others.

Moreover, the 10,000+ militiamen who participated in the war did not have logistical support like the active troops and the Linghai Reserve Battalion. Many militiamen not only had to bring their own dry food to fight the floods, but even had to pay flood control fees, because they were both soldiers and civilians.

What is even more touching is that many militiamen have their own homes flooded, but they have to obey orders to fight floods in other places...

Commander Huang is not easy either.

Boss Huang called early this morning to say that Commander Huang had just had an operation, and he only stayed in the ward for three days after the operation before going to the embankment to command the flood.

The militiamen he summoned suffered another casualty. As a commander, he had to face the families of the militiamen who died.

Han Yu could understand his mood at this moment, and quickly said: "It is not only XCMG's suggestion to build only two breakwaters, but also it has been repeatedly demonstrated overnight by experts from the Water Conservancy Design Institute of the Yangtze River Committee. The experts agreed that there are two breakwaters. As long as the direction of flood flow can be changed, it can protect the dry embankment.”

"Four or two to pull a thousand catties?"

"It's almost the same, but the quality of the breakwater's construction must pass the test. If it can't withstand the impact of the flood and collapses, all previous efforts will be wasted."

"Can you guarantee the quality?"

"Commander, don't worry, after the two landing points are built, our engineering ship will start driving piles on the water, one every one meter, both inside and outside the breakwater, and the remaining stones will be piled after the earthwork construction is completed. Throwing it to the slope protection on the side facing the water, we can guarantee that it will not collapse for at least a month after it is built.”

"Only for one month?"

"The main body of the breakwater is earthwork, and the outside is sandbags. Although there are stone slope protection on the outermost side, the stone materials are far from enough. In the case of repeated flooding, we can only guarantee the life of the breakwater for one month."

"It's fine if you can persist for a month, and the water should recede in another month."

Commander Meng also knew that Commander Huang had just undergone an operation, so he reminded him, "Old Huang, pay attention to your health."

"Thank you, chief, for your concern. I'm fine." Commander Huang took a deep breath and asked, "Comrade Han Yu, how long will it take to build these two embankments?"

"Uninterrupted construction for 24 hours, it should be completed in one day and one night."

"So fast?"

"The two breakwaters are only wider, but not very long. The one on this side only needs to be built 30 meters into the river, and the one on the other side only needs to be built 25 meters."

"30 meters is enough?"

"It's still the same sentence, as long as the flow of the flood can be changed to ensure that the flood will not directly wash away or even hit the dry embankment."

"You are an expert, you can do what you say, what do we need?"

"We have the assistance of Commander Meng here, and we don't need the support of the military division for the time being."

"Okay, please."

"Not to mention please, this is the task of our commando."

"Then I'll go first?"

"Commander, you just had an operation, you have to pay attention to your body."

"I know, thank you."

Although the third flood peak was sent away, the water level of the Jingjiang River rose instead of falling due to the impact of the downstream flood.

Dangers abound on both sides of the Jingjiang River. In order to ensure the safety of the Jingjiang embankment, several districts and counties on the opposite bank had to mobilize the masses to abandon their small homes to protect everyone. Disappeared, hundreds of thousands of people lost their homes.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Jingjiang Defense Command and the front-line commander of the Yangtze River embankment, Commander Huang did not dare to stay here for a long time. He raised his arms to salute Commander Meng, and then climbed into the jeep with his hands on his stomach. gone.

Commander Meng saw it and felt uncomfortable in his heart. He was silent for a moment and said, "Salted fish, why not build three breakwaters."

"Chief, if I have time and conditions, I don't want to repair even one."

"What do you mean?"

"If I really have time and conditions, as for repairing the breakwater, I will repair the embankment directly! The problem now is that we have no time and no conditions, and there are too many dangerous sections waiting for us to rescue, so we can't waste too much time here. .”

"forget it."

"Chief, I'm sorry."

"It's nothing. No matter how high my position is, I'm not as high as Vice President L. If you don't give me face, I don't feel ashamed."

It's true that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away. Now everyone knows that I don't give Vice President L face...

Han Yuzheng didn't know what to say, when Ge Ju's familiar voice came from the intercom: "Xianyu Xianyu, can I hear it?"

"Yes, Ge Ju, where have you been?"

"We're almost there, have you been to the construction site yet?"

"We arrived early, and the landing point is almost repaired for you."

"Okay, okay, I'll let Xiao Gu do it faster."

"Uncle Ge, we need to be fast and pay attention to the safety of navigation."

"I know."

Lao Ge didn't like taking a slow tugboat, nor did he like taking a steam ferry conscripted by the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau.

He was sitting in Supervisor 48, looking at Jiang Mian holding the walkie-talkie and said with a smile: "Mayor Shen has arrived. He arrived at night and brought [-] truckloads of supplies from his hometown. His journey was too hard. I let him stay in my office." Rest first, I brought a team of supplies for you by the way, and loaded a whole boat."

Seventeen truckloads of supplies sounded like a lot, but in fact they didn't add up to more than two hundred tons.

Han Yu subconsciously asked, "A full load?"

"Not just rice and equipment spare parts, but also some condolences such as instant noodles, ham sausage, biscuits, canned food, mustard and mineral water. Especially instant noodles, although not very heavy, take up a lot of space."

"Scared me, I thought it was pulled by a big flatbed truck from the Port Authority."

"Mayor Shen wants to bring more supplies from his hometown. He said that the city mobilized cadres and the masses to donate. The cadres and the masses donated a lot of money. Instead of handing over the money to Binjiang and letting Binjiang remit it to the disaster area, it is better to buy more from us. There is an urgent need for scarce supplies here, and the donations will be used wisely."

Old Ge paused, and then said: "However, transportation is a problem. Water transportation is the most cost-effective. A ship like your father can transport [-] tons per ship, but water transportation is too slow. The large flatbed truck of the Port Authority can't transport it." There are fewer materials, but it will not affect other people's production and operation."
