Riverside police

In the early morning of the next day, at dawn, the powerful typhoon finally left, and the turbulent waves also quietly receded. People rushed to the seawall to check, and a miracle happened: the second dyke was saved!

Suddenly, all the people on the seawall hugged each other and cheered happily.

Secretary Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't be as happy as the Sanzao Port cadres and the masses on the embankment.

Although the typhoon has gone, the rain is still falling, the ocean tide is still "joining in the fun", and the tidal level of the Yangtze River is rising instead of falling!

He convened a meeting of cadres at Sanzao Port and asked to seize the time to strengthen the sea dike. He then returned to the city to deploy flood control work in Linghai, and rushed to Bailong Port to board the Yangtze River Public Security Boat 110 to inspect the Yangtze River embankment.

All staff working in Linghai Municipal Government are on the front line of flood prevention and control. They live in drainage stations or temporary tents, with a door panel placed on two stools to serve as a bed.

Wherever there is danger, cadres will organize young and strong laborers to rush there.

Wherever there are gaps, party members and cadres, militiamen and the masses are there to make up for them. What everyone wants most is to minimize losses.

In short, everyone rushes to the "battlefield", digging mud, carrying burdens, and building dams. Everyone seems to have endless energy and endless strength.

After all, the water levels in the Yangtze River and inland rivers are still rising, and no one dares to relax at this juncture.

When Han Yu and Ma Jintao rushed to Jiangxinzhou again, only seven or eight square kilometers of the sixteen square kilometers of Jiangxinzhou were left, and most of the farmland was submerged by the flood.

Zhao Hongxing, Dong Bangjun, Zhang Bigong, Deputy Township Chief Chen and others moved more than 20 people who were searched by the typhoon to a residential ridge (gathering area) that was not flooded.

Several women were holding their children and crying bitterly. Their homes were flooded and the river embankments they relied on for a living were destroyed. How could they continue to live?

Two middle-aged uncles squatted by the door and smoked cigarettes. Facing their devastated home, they frowned and thought about a way out.

An old man in his 70s or 80s had obviously experienced similar floods. Looking at the pouring rain outside, he hummed a folk song that had been circulating for who knows how many years.

"Live by the river, eat fresh food from the river, and when the flood comes, your house will turn to the sky. Pick up a basket and run away, and return to the fields when the flood recedes..."

Han Yu has heard this ballad sung more than once. It can be said to be a true portrayal of the people in Binjiang when they encountered floods.

Higher ground does not mean that the house will not leak.

While sweeping water outside, a woman told her children sitting cross-legged on the chair: "Don't sleep too much tonight. If there is a flood in the middle of the night, our whole family will have to get up and run to higher ground..."

However, the children stranded on Jiangxinzhou are not very worried.

Typhoons and floods changed the world they knew, but they were still laughing and playing, full of longings for the next life that they had never had before, and they were all so excited.

They heard many incredible things from nowhere, and they wanted to verify everything.

A few bold kids even surrounded Han Yu and asked him this and that happily. Han Yu didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Uncle policeman, people say that the roof of the house at the entrance of the second team's dam is full of snakes. Is it true?"

"I didn't go to the second team, so I really don't know the specific situation."

"My mother said that dozens of pigs in the fourth team were dead and floating in the water. Uncle policeman, did you see them?"

"No."

"Xiaojun said that the money drawers in Chen Er's store were flooded and the steel coins were buried in the mud!"

"You want to go fishing?" Han Yu straightened his face and pointed at the little guy: "I don't know if it's true or not. Even if it's true, it's still someone else's money!"

The little guy realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly changed the subject: "Uncle, they said that a red wooden barrel floated upstream, and there was a pink child in the barrel. Has that child been rescued?"

"Who said that? Why didn't I know?"

"You are a policeman, why don't you know anything?"

As soon as the little guy who was losing his teeth finished speaking, a chubby little guy squeezed forward and asked expectantly: "Uncle policeman, my grandpa said that there are many lifeboats sent up and things will be distributed. When will they come?" Send it to us?”

You don’t need to ask carefully to know that they must be thinking that their superiors will give them new clothes, various exquisite stationery and even toys.

Han Yu was made dumbfounded and didn't know how to explain it to them. Zhao Hongxing, who had been busy all night, woke up and came over yawning.

The little guys were obviously a little afraid of Zhao Hongxing. They ran faster than rabbits and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As you can imagine, the entire village has become a huge playground and adventure place, and they will have a lot of fun next time.

Zhao Hongxing took the dry food brought by Han Yu from the shore and asked feebly while eating: "How is it on the shore?"

"The damage caused by the passage of the typhoon is not small. I don't know about other places. Several old houses were blown down just by the Binsha Ferry. Fortunately, no one died."

"Where's the river embankment in the city?"

"The river embankment is okay for the time being, but the original river embankment cannot stop the flood at all. The entire riverside section is being reinforced and raised, and a second line of defense is being built in many places. If the rain does not stop and it rains for another two or three days, the Yangtze River embankment is estimated to be It will collapse across the board.”

"Hurry up and repair it!"

"Emergency repairs are being carried out. The embankment is full of people. All the people who can go up to the river embankment have gone up."

Zhao Hongxing did not expect the flood situation to be so severe, and asked in surprise: "Has the tide receded?"

Han Yu said helplessly: "No, judging from the notification from the Binjiang City Defense Index, the tide levels at several hydrological stations along the line have exceeded the highest point in history."

Zhao Hongxing asked: "What should we do here in Jiang Xinzhou?"

"Head Chen is answering the phone. The remaining people must organize an evacuation."

"It's better to evacuate ashore as soon as possible. There are too few people on Jiangxin Island, and it will definitely not be able to hold it with just the labor of a few production teams."

Han Yu was about to say that there were a few old people who were lucky enough not to leave their hometowns, and that he would work with Mayor Chen on their ideological work later, when his cell phone suddenly rang.

I took it out and looked at the caller ID. It was actually the caller from Bureau Wang.

"Bureau Wang, I just arrived at Jiangxinzhou. Bureau Zhao and the others are fine, and so are the twenty-odd people stranded on Jiangxinzhou. I am with Bureau Zhao. Do you want to talk to Bureau Zhao?"

"No, just tell you."

"What's up?"

Wang Wenhong also fought the flood all night on the river embankment, and said in a hoarse voice: "The losses on our side on the other side are greater, and the flood control situation is more severe than ours. It is said that there are several rivers on the line from Zhenjiang to Zhangjiagang. The embankment collapsed and breached. The terrain on their side is also lower than ours, and the waterlogging is also more serious than ours."

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "What does this have to do with us? We can't even care about ourselves now."

"It didn't matter before, but now it does."

"what relationship?"

“The provincial department knows that we have marine police and water law enforcement boats on the riverside, and ordered us to immediately organize boats to help evacuate the people on the sand in the middle of the river in Zhangjiagang!”

"The provincial department ordered us to go over and assist in the transfer?"

"Director Liu is also a member of the Provincial Defense Command. He attended the induction ceremony of 002 and Changhang Branch 110 and 111, and knows that we have combat effectiveness. The Changhang Branch also received orders from the Provincial Defense Command, but they can only Dispatch 111."

"What about 110?"

"110 has been requisitioned by Linghai City for defense. Secretary Ye is directing several towns along the river to reinforce the embankment on 110."

"There are still more than twenty people here in Jiangxinzhou. I have to move the people stranded in Jiangxinzhou ashore before I can go to the other side to assist in the rescue."

"I know."

Wang Wenhong glanced at the emergency notice forwarded by the municipal bureau, and then said: "In addition to assisting Zhangjiagang's defense forces to evacuate the people on the river sand, do you have another important task next?"

Han Yu asked in a low voice: "What mission?"

"The No. 1 head of the Provincial Party Committee will come to the downstream to inspect flood control early tomorrow morning. The Provincial Department orders you to lead 001 and 002 to the waters of Zhenjiang Port before 9:30 tomorrow morning to assist the Provincial Department's Security Office in performing security tasks."

"Secretary Chen is coming to check!"

"Not only do you have to come for inspection, but you may also have to call 001. Secretary Lu and Bureau Chen have been notified and ordered that you must ensure Secretary Chen's safety."

"yes!"

A difficult one, P Plus support.

The economic development on the other side of the river is better than that on the north side of the river, but the disasters on the other side of the river are now more severe than on this side of the river.

They belong to the Taihu Lake system and are very low-lying, almost entirely below sea level. It is difficult to withstand the floods just by relying on the previously built ponds. It is said that many places have been flooded.

Wang Wenhong took a deep breath and continued: "Secretary Lu and Bureau Chen ordered you to assist Zhangjiagang's defense forces in moving the people on the river ashore, and not to come back in a hurry. You lead a team to implement the order of the No. 1 head of the Provincial Party Committee. For the security mission, Hongxing led the remaining comrades and assault boats to accept the command of Zhangjiagang."

Han Yu had already known through the high-frequency radio station of the Hong Kong Surveillance System and the public security command frequency that the damage on the other side was huge. He mused: "The other side is busy preventing floods. We were there to help and we can't cause trouble to others. Considering that it is not possible to go there, Knowing when we can come back, I think we should bring our own supplies.”

"Bring your own supplies?"

"Don't we have a comprehensive supply ship? Unload the foam fire extinguishing agent and bring more fuel, fresh water and dry food. Only with logistical support can we continue to fight."

How could Wang Wenhong fail to hear the implication of Han Yu's words and said: "I will report to Director Chen and ask my superiors if they can give you more supplies."

"Hurry, 001 is running out of gas, and the assault boat is almost running out of gas."

"I know, wait for my news."

The province can think of letting Binjiang dispatch water resources to assist the other side of the river in rescue and disaster relief. This is a sign of trust in Binjiang.

After receiving the report, Secretary Lu immediately stated that all supplies sent to assist in emergency rescue and disaster relief would be handled by the municipal defense command, and he was determined not to cause trouble to the party committee and government on the other side.

Considering that since they were going to help, only two law enforcement boats and three assault boats were a bit insufficient, Secretary Lu and Mayor Wang discussed it, and asked Han Yu to contact the Port Supervision and Customs through Bureau Chen to see if they could send a few more boats. .

Han Yu received a call from Director Chen and immediately contacted his senior sister and Liu Xinpei, asking Liu Xinpei to help purchase diesel, gasoline, bottled mineral water, rice, fruits and vegetables. After all the supplies are in place, the Channel Engineering Bureau will be asked to use engineering ships to help drag the unpowered "comprehensive supply ship" over.

As for the boats that went to assist in rescue and disaster relief, the Port Supervision Bureau and the Customs were very helpful. They immediately arranged for the Supervision 39, Supervision 41 and Customs 108 boats to go to Jiangxinsha in Zhangjiagang City together with Binjiang Public Security 002 and Yangtze River Public Security 111. Accept the command of Han Yu.
