Riverside Police.

It was late at night, and the command hall of Jingzhou Fangzhi was brightly lit and smoky, and the phone rang continuously.

This time, the water level of the flood peak exceeded the sixth time, and the entire Jingjiang River was in a state of emergency.

All the embankments that can discharge floods have already been discharged. The upstream Gezhouba hub and several reservoirs that can be dispatched have been dispatched. The Geheyan Reservoir on the main stream of the Qingjiang River more than 100 kilometers upstream is even operating at risk. .

It is an important regulation and storage reservoir in the upper reaches of the Jingjiang River, which helps to share a large amount of floods and staggers the flood peaks.The height of the reservoir dam is 151 meters, and the altitude is 206 meters. During the sixth flood peak, due to too much flood water was stored, the huge pressure squeezed the dam body and made a loud bang!
Until now, walking on the dam can feel the shaking of the dam. If the water level continues to rise, it may cause the dam to collapse as a whole.

In the current Yangtze River, the various reservoirs are like dominoes laid out.If one reservoir fails, there will likely be cascading failures.

Fortunately, the metal structure of the dam can withstand a force exceeding 50% of the design standard, and can temporarily withstand a water level close to 204 meters.

In order to help the downstream peak shifting as much as possible, and to ensure the safety of the dam, now we can only open and close the gate so that the water level is always below the 204-meter line and keeps oscillating back and forth.It can be said that at the limit of dam collapse, the downstream water volume can be relieved to the greatest extent.

But whether the dam will break or not, no one knows.

Because it can withstand 50% of the force that exceeds the design standard, it is repeatedly calculated by experts.

It can be said that the reservoir staff are risking their lives to relieve the pressure on the downstream at this moment. If the Yangtze River embankment breaks, the soldiers and civilians who are in the rescue may have the possibility of survival.If the dam breaks, the water column formed by the huge water pressure will tear up the reservoir staff like cutting tofu, and their bodies may not be found until more than 100 kilometers downstream.

In short, I have thought about all the ways that should be thought of, and I have done everything that can be done.He has repelled the flood peak six times, and Xi Gong really has no idea whether he can hold it this time.

He had a splitting headache, and the smell of smoke made his headache even worse. He was about to get up and go out to get a few breaths of fresh air, when Vice Governor Zhou walked in and asked, "Comrade Yuanchang, is the danger in Tiaoguanji under control?"

Huang Yuanchang hadn't slept well for a long time, and he couldn't bear it any longer. He propped his forehead and pinched his temples to report: "Deputy Mayor Zhong and Comrade Han Yu reported 10 minutes ago that the danger of the pipeline and the collapse of the subdistrict have been temporarily stabilized. Emergency The second detachment of the commando team has arrived at Tiaoguanji and is working with the first team to build the cofferdam."

Just stabilized, not controlled.

Deputy Zhou was stunned, and then asked, "When can the cofferdam be built?"

"Han Yu said that another two and a half hours should be about the same, but only an earth embankment has been built, which only has the initial water-retaining ability. To really ensure safety, the cofferdam needs to be reinforced when it reaches the water-retaining height."

"How long does it take to reinforce."

"At least until noon tomorrow."

"Understood, report the situation in time."

"Zhou Sheng Z, there is a situation."

"what's the situation?"

Huang Yuanchang glanced at the phone records just now, hesitated and said: "As of 5 minutes ago, 46 ​​comrades on their side have been injured or fainted, and the wounded and sick are mainly from the 60th Division. Among them, 32 seriously injured and seriously ill patients have died. They were transported to Shishou People's Hospital, and the hospital is organizing emergency rescue."

After so many days of tug-of-war with the flood, almost all the soldiers were sick and injured. Their physical strength and energy had already reached the critical point, and now they had to fight the flood to the death. Provincial Z never expected to fall so many at once.

He was silent for a while before nodding.

……

In fact, it's not just soldiers who can't bear it, but also cadres.

Master Qian was directing, when suddenly his eyes went dark, and he sat slumped in the muddy water.

When Han Yu received the news, he quickly handed over the command to Hao Qiusheng, ran over to look at Master Qian who had just been lifted up by the soldiers, and asked, "Mr. Qian, are you okay?"

"It's okay, just rest for a while."

"This is not a place to rest, I will help you go there."

"You are busy with your business, leave me alone."

"Reinforcements are here. Boss Hao from the No. [-] cofferdam construction team is more professional than me. I'm not busy right now."

Han Yu helped Mr. Qian to the gentle slope where the accumulated water had just been drained, and slumped down with Mr. Qian regardless of whether the ground was muddy or not.

Master Qian was very dizzy, closed his eyes for about three or four minutes, and asked feebly, "Why are you working so hard today?"

"We are an emergency commando team, so we can't do it without fighting." Han Yu took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Qian, you are about to change jobs, and your division is about to be dismissed. Why are you working so hard?"

"Our division is not going to be disbanded soon, it has already been disbanded."

"Already withdrawn?"

"We received the order on the second day after the meeting and the farewell ceremony. More than 3000 cadres and soldiers were going to be transferred and discharged from the army. I really can't bear to think about it."

Han Yu had only heard that their division was going to be disbanded before, but he didn't expect that it had already been disbanded.

Their division came to fight the floods in early August. Although they did not take part in the flood fighting for as long as the 404th Division, they went into battle as soon as they came and never rested.

他们的175团血战鸭子湖、奋战东升镇；炮兵团死保丢家垸；师直属队和175团激战德工凸；178团大战松滋河；179团强堵九合垸。8月8日，十首九合垸大坝发生特大管涌，他们又激战六昼夜……

Han Yu was secretly feeling emotional, and Master Qian continued: "As long as we don't take off our military uniform, we are soldiers. You are working hard in the reserves, and we active soldiers have to work harder."

"Yeah, as long as you come, you have to go."

"Speaking of business, why are you willing to let construction machinery come in? Although you are an emergency rescue commando, your situation is different from ours. Your equipment is not your own, and your superiors will not and cannot order you to take this risk .”

The situation just now was really grim, and it could be said that life and death were hanging by a thread.

Han Yu looked at the cofferdam that was being raised not far away, and was silent for a moment and said: "Five days ago, we were ordered to follow Hongfeng, sail all the way to Honghu Lake, and then return according to the order of our superiors. On the way back, the weather suddenly changed. , A strong wind of magnitude seven or eight rolled up on the river, and the strong wind set off waves more than two meters high. The waves carried heavy rain and rushed towards the crescent embankment of Honghu Lake.

The river overflowing the embankment erupted like a mountain torrent, and the sound of rushing water could be heard a kilometer away.The flood rushed down, destroying the courtyard wall of an electric drainage station on the Crescent Embankment and nearby houses. The fir trees at the foot of the embankment were also uprooted, and the Qijia embankment collapsed. "

"That folk embankment was flooded?"

"Flooded."

Han Yu took a deep breath, and continued: "Just after 11 o'clock in the same night, a four- to five-meter-long crack appeared in the Qingshan section of the main embankment of the Honghu Yangtze River, and it quickly developed to 250 meters in less than a few hours. It developed to a palm width and a depth of more than one meter, and a large amount of open water gushed out from the crack. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, after more than 1 soldiers and civilians fought hard for three days and three nights, it was not until yesterday morning to protect it."

Teacher Qian asked puzzledly, "What does this have to do with you?"

"I was aware of these two dangers when they happened, and our engineering fleet is not far from there. But in order to ensure the safety of this side, in order to rescue the major dangers that may occur here, we can only 'do nothing. Rescue', return to the voyage according to the request of the superior."

Han Yu turned to look at Mr. Qian, and said regretfully: "The danger in the Qingshan section is no less serious than the one we are protecting. It can be said that it was the biggest danger that occurred during the sixth flood peak. The ancients said that the general will not be affected by the fate of the king." , but I was lucky, at that time I could lead a team to support, but in the end I chose to mechanically carry out the superior's order."

Master Qian probably understood what Han Yu wanted to say, and asked in a low voice, "If you had rushed to that Minyuan, would you be able to control Zidi's collapse?"

"do not know."

"That's it. Even if you lead a team there, you may not be able to keep the embankment. Besides, you are a reserve officer now. Reserve officers are also soldiers, and it is their duty to obey orders."

"I can only think so." Han Yu nodded, raised his arm and pointed to the cofferdam not far away: "This side is different from that side. Since the superior asked us to rush to protect the major danger here, we have already rushed to it in time." When we get there, we must hold on to it, as to whether we are risking construction machinery worth tens of millions or not, I don’t care about it now.”

"Is that right? When it's time to rush, it's time to rush, and when it's time to go, it's time to go."

"..."

"Look what I do."

"It's nothing."

"Xianyu, to be honest, you are becoming more and more like a soldier. If you want to be a real officer, you can really use special tactics after fighting the flood."

"Do not want to."

"I don't want to, why, isn't it good to be an active military officer?" Master Qian asked puzzled.

"It's not bad, it's just that I'm not suitable to be a soldier."

Han Yusheng was afraid that Mr. Qian would misunderstand, so he thought about it and explained: "I am used to being free and undisciplined, and I am definitely not used to the rules of the army. To use a simple analogy, what happened to me in Binjiang? Can I ask the law enforcement boats and even law enforcement personnel of relevant units to assist, if I am in the army, can I deploy troops without authorization?"

Secretary Wang said before that the person next to him is Binjiang's "Navy Admiral". He is the largest in the waters of the Yangtze River and Binjiang, and he is used to having the final say. It is really inappropriate to recruit him into the army.

Master Qian nodded, and just as he didn't know how to continue the conversation, Han Yu said, "Besides, I've already got a family. There are old and young, and I have no savings in the bank, only loans. With a little salary, I can't make it through this day."

This is a sad subject.

After working in the army for decades, I almost changed jobs and didn't have much savings.

Master Qian suddenly felt a little envious of Han Yu, and couldn't help sighing: "It doesn't matter if you don't serve as a soldier. Although you are not an active-duty officer, you are better than an active-duty officer. If you are specially recruited and serve in the army for a few years, you will definitely not be able to be placed in the current situation when you change jobs and return to your hometown. It is estimated that he will not be able to get the current salary for his position.”
