There were only two leaders on the embankment, County Magistrate Huang and Director Hu of the Government Office. The others all went to organize the evacuation of the masses. County Magistrate Huang was too busy answering phone calls, so naturally he could not attend to receiving reinforcements.

Director Hu quickly came out and introduced himself.

The commander of the second company stood at attention, saluted, and said breathlessly: "Comrade director, the second and third companies of the second battalion of the 132 regiment have been ordered to come to support us. Please assign us tasks!"

They all came running, all dripping with sweat.

Director Hu was so moved that he could hardly speak. He took several deep breaths, tried his best to control his emotions, and said with choked sobs: "Thank you, thank you comrades from the People's Liberation Army."

"Comrade Director, now is not the time to be polite. Please assign us tasks."

"The Linghai Reserve Battalion is responsible for the rescue. Company Commanders Zhang and Wu. How about I take you to Battalion Commander Han first and ask him to assign you tasks."

"OK."

"this way please."

The two led their men along the river embankment for dozens of meters, and finally saw the legendary "Hong Kong Garrison".

Below the embankment, two large excavators, three large forklifts and a bulldozer were busy. Only a few people wearing red sleeves and holding small red flags were in command. Unlike an emergency scene, you can't feel the tense atmosphere of racing against time.

In a rice field about fifteen meters away from the construction site, there are more than a dozen people busy around six large pools built with sandbags. Two pumps can be vaguely seen pumping water there.

On the embankment, on the waist and at the foot of the embankment, there were more than a dozen people wearing camouflage helmets and life vests, walking back and forth among the red flags, as if they were looking for something.

On the river, a public security patrol boat and a tugboat shuttled back and forth, and it was clear that the deck was full of people.

Further forward, there is a military tent.

There are seven conspicuous characters on the tent: "Rescue Engineering Command", surrounded by red flags with the words "Linghai Reserve Battalion", "Strong Hero Battalion" and "Red Sharp Knife Company", as well as "United as one to fight the flood" and " Banners with slogans such as "Carry forward the spirit of the Linghai Iron Army".

Company Commander Zhang asked his subordinates to rest first, and together with Company Commander Wu and Director Hu, they walked into the "Emergency Engineering Command" tent. They saw a young reserve major, two people also wearing camouflage uniforms and life jackets, and a man with messy hair and dirty body. The local cadres were studying something in front of a "table" supported by steel pipes and steel plates.

"At first we didn't know that the foot of the embankment was hollowed out. After discovering the piping, the first thing we thought of was looking for the leak. There happened to be a villager with good water skills among the people patrolling the embankment. He took the initiative to ask for a tassel to go down and touch the leak. Instead, he touched the leak instead of the leak. There’s a hole underneath.”

"Then what?"

"When he came up to take a breath, I asked him to go down and continue to touch. This touch revealed a big problem." Yan Gong pointed to the picture that Yao Gong drew when making information on 001, and said solemnly: "From here Touch it all the way here, it's not a hole, it's a hole."

Han Yu asked in a low voice: "Yan Gong, did you mark the shore at that time?"

"It's done. I measured it with a ruler. It's eleven point six meters long."

"What about depth?"

"Both of these dimensions are under water and can only be estimated by villagers who feel them in the water."

Han Yu took the underwater surveying maps that Yao Gong brought ashore, arranged them in a row according to the chronological order of the surveying and mapping printing, and compared them carefully.

Xugong crossed his arms and looked attentively.

Director Hu knew that they were analyzing a dangerous situation and stood aside without daring to disturb them.

The two company commanders also realized that now was not the time to talk, so they stood in the corner and waited like Director Hu.

"Previous data is not counted. We started our first survey and analysis at 5:25. Judging from the survey results, the length of the underwater cave has not changed much. It was less than 12 meters as of ten minutes ago, but the height has changed somewhat. Weird, it’s not getting bigger but getting smaller.”

Han Yu looked at the drawings and was puzzled.

Industry specializing in surgery.

XCMG did not find it strange. He leaned over and took out another drawing and said, "We can't just look at the embankment feet and body, but we must also analyze the topography of the underwater river beach and even the river bed."

Han Yu was stunned, raised his head and asked: "The whole collapsed?"

Before Xugong could speak, Yao Lirong frowned and said, "The terrain of the river bed in this area is quite strange. There are many deep slanting ditches. The water below washes the embankments along these deep ditches."

Han Yu took the survey map that XCMG found and asked while looking at it: "Gong Yan, is there anyone mining sand in the waters around you?"

"Yes, there used to be a lot of sand mining boats. After the National Academy of Sciences requested to strengthen the management of sand mining in rivers last month, our county has strengthened the management of sand mining."

"Nine times out of ten it's caused by sand mining."

Han Yu put down the drawing and analyzed: "The sand mining boats pumped wildly, pumped out the silt, mined the sand layer, destroyed the river bed and beach, and even inadvertently opened several deep grooves diagonally opposite the dry embankment, directly causing the water flow below. Wash the foot of the embankment!”

Yan Gong thought so too, but sand mining involves the interests of all aspects. As an engineer from the Water Conservancy Bureau, he did not dare to say anything and did not dare to offend him. He could only ask in a low voice: "What should we do?"

"Gong Yao, please contact Director Gu later and ask him to find a way to organize the crew to help you locate and mark the locations and directions of several deep underwater grooves."

"How to mark on the river?"

"Use buoys. He and the land workers in the channel section have a way."

Han Yu paused, then continued: "When the stones allocated by the city defense director arrive, we will organize efforts to repair the damaged river bed, that is, throw stones on the river, fill up the deep grooves, and let the water flow back to its original state. direction of flow."

Yao Gong asked solemnly: "How much square stone is needed?"

"No matter how much is needed, it must be repaired. Otherwise, not only the current embankment will not be able to withstand it, but also the new embankment we are building will not be able to withstand it over time."

Han Yu took a deep breath and continued: "Xugong, please call and report to the city defense director immediately and tell the city defense director that we need a large amount of stone. Then ask the city defense director if two rollers can be urgently dispatched. We have two large rollers. Excavators and earthwork are fully supplied. There are three loaders and a bulldozer, so leveling is not a problem. The top priority is how to compact it.”

Just as XCMG was about to say yes, Director Hu said eagerly: "Captain Han, our county transportation bureau has a road roller, but the inside of the roller is made of cement, and the outer layer of the big roller is made of steel plates."

"Great, we need a steamroller now."

Han Yu turned around and said: "Director Hu, the people are evacuating. I heard from the comrade in charge of logistics that the road leading here is very crowded. See if you can arrange for personnel to transport the roller to the upstream or downstream where it will be easier to ship. I asked the comrades in charge of water navigation and water operations to arrange for ships to be transported."

"Okay, I'll call you right now." Director Hu took out his cell phone, thought about it and introduced: "Battlemaster Han, I almost forgot, these two are comrades from the 132nd Regiment, and they were ordered to come to support."

There's someone in the group!

Han Yu was surprised and quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Welcome, welcome. I am the battalion commander of the Linghai Reserve Battalion. My surname is Han and my single name is Yu. What are your surnames?"

They are very professional and you can tell they are experts at first sight.

The two company commanders did not dare to take the chief officer of the "Hong Kong Garrison" seriously, so they quickly stood at attention, saluted, and announced their homes.

"Captain Peng and Political Commissar Yang are coming too?"

"The political commissar of the regiment is far away from here. They are on their way here, but the road is full of evacuated people. It is not easy to walk. I really can't say when they will get there."

"It doesn't matter if it's late. Actually... I don't really need support here."

"unnecessary?"

Han Yuzheng didn't know how to explain it. Director Ge and Staff Officer Dai came after hearing the news.

In Lao Ge's view, the 132nd Regiment was both a guest and one of his own. Seeing that Han Yu didn't know how to make arrangements, he quickly said: "Battle Commander Han, Secretary Han, you are busy with your business. I will receive you and make arrangements."

"Okay, you two, I'm sorry, I'm a little busy here."

Han Yu really couldn't care about the reception, so he used something to hold down a pile of drawings, then put on his safety helmet and went out with XCMG and the others.

Lao Ge looked at the two company commanders who were confused and said enthusiastically: "Company Commander Zhang, Commander Wu, Xiao Dai and I were preparing to go find you, but we didn't expect you to come first. Well done to you, you are here." , it’s like we found the organization!”

"Company Commander Zhang, Commander Wu, this is Ge Jue of the senior expert team of the Linghai Reserve Battalion."

Staff Officer Dai had experienced a rescue operation and was fully confident in the combat effectiveness of the Linghai Reserve Battalion. He felt that there was no danger that the Linghai Reserve Battalion could not capture the enemy. He looked at the two company commanders with a smile and added: "General Ge is the veteran of the Linghai Municipal Transportation Bureau." The director is a professor-level senior engineer!"

"Hello Geju!"

"Ge Jue, Staff Officer Dai, the battalion commander ordered us to come to support. They came by car. They were probably stuck on the road. Since we arrived first and couldn't be idle, you can give us the order."

What orders are given to you?

What can you do in the face of such a dangerous situation?

Staff Officer Dai felt that the comrades were not here to support, but to cause trouble. Just when he didn't know how to explain it, Lao Ge smiled and said: "You two, I asked the soldiers when I came here, and the soldiers said they came here running. We’ve traveled five or six kilometers, I’m too tired, you should rest first.”

"rest?"

"Well, let's rest first. How can we fight if we don't recharge our batteries?"

Lao Ge smiled slightly and then raised the intercom: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, I'm Ge Weidong. Please answer when you receive it."

There is a repeater station in the camp, and the walkie-talkie communication range can reach nearly 20 kilometers.

Zhang Erxiao, who found that the road was blocked and unable to purchase supplies from the police, immediately returned to the camp and asked Director Gu for a tugboat, and took two logistics personnel to the other side to purchase supplies.

He was about to go ashore when he heard Lao Ge calling and hurriedly replied: "Roger, sir, Ge Bureau, please speak."

"The regiment is here to support us. Two companies from the vanguard have arrived. Our comrades haven't even had breakfast. You should hurry up and make arrangements, and prepare lunch as well!"

"How many people are there in total?"

Lao Ge didn't know either, so he quickly asked: "You two, will the whole regiment come to support you?"

Company Commander Zhang thought for a while and said, "They should all come, that's what our battalion commander said."

Lao Ge asked: "How many people are there in total?"

Before Company Commander Zhang could speak, Staff Officer Dai smiled and said: "Geju, considering the vehicles and logistical support, and the fact that no one in the regiment can be left behind, only a small half of our regiment's officers and soldiers are fighting the flood in Jingzhou. The regiment headquarters and three battalions are adding There are seven hundred and twenty-two people in total."

It turned out to be a group that was not full of members.

Lao Ge raised the walkie-talkie again: "Mr. Zhang, there are a total of 722 people in the regiment. For us, this is equivalent to the Jinggangshan meeting. We need to celebrate and be prepared to be rich."

No matter how much money you spend, you can ask Boss Huang for reimbursement. Zhang Erxiao agreed: "I understand. I'll prepare breakfast first."

Staff Officer Dai was startled and hurriedly reminded: "Ge Ju, the regiment leader and political commissar may not be able to arrive in the morning. Why don't we prepare breakfast for 200 people first?"

"That's okay. We'll prepare hot meals for two hundred people now, and prepare more dry food."

"It's better to prepare more dry food so that it won't be wasted."

While rescue operations were underway, so many people were evacuating under the embankment as if they were fleeing for safety. They actually wanted to celebrate...

Captain Zhang was confused and didn't know what to say for a while.

Company Commander Wu was exhausted from running, and now he was tired and hungry. He thought to himself that the battalion commander hadn't arrived yet, and Staff Officer Dai was the biggest. If Staff Officer Dai asked the brothers to rest, then they should rest for a while.

PS: Someone once joked that Lao Zhuo "is not as good as a dog when it comes to fighting on the street." Lao Zhuo learned from the painful experience, worked hard, and worked hard for a month. Brothers and sisters are also very helpful. Last month, my monthly vote ranking was over 60, and I responded to those who made fun of Lao Zhuo with real results.

A new month, a new beginning.

Next, Lao Zhuo will continue to work hard, and I urge brothers and sisters who have votes to continue to support me and see if I can make it into the top 50 this month!
