Riverside police

The road roller has not been delivered until now, and even if it can be delivered, it will not be used for the time being.

The piping danger is developing too fast. What we need to do now is to quickly build new embankments to higher ground.

Two earthwork construction teams worked from both ends at the same time. The No. 1 dump truck transported the earth to the new embankment and dumped it. The No. 1 loader and the No. 2 loader went up to level the earth, briefly compacted it with buckets and wheels, and then took advantage of the situation. When the dump truck was loading soil, it went down to help transport sandbags, and the same was true for the construction team on the opposite side.

The officers and soldiers of the 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 132th Regiment all became "bricklayers", leveling the ground with shovels, and then flattening the sandbags dumped from the embankment by the loader onto the base.

The slope is sloping, and if you want to make the base tighter, you need to use a shovel to trim the slope.

I was a little rusty at first, but I got used to it as I continued. After a load of sandbags fell down, I could finish the base in less than five minutes.

Director Hu from the Angong County Government Office saw that there was no supply of sandbags. To be precise, the three loaders had more important tasks and could not be used exclusively to transport sandbags. He immediately mobilized and was unwilling to evacuate to the safe area but ran to the vicinity of the embankment. Villagers helped with filling and transportation.

Most of the people working under the embankment didn't have life jackets, but they didn't care about it now.

Let’s not talk about whether the dangerous section can be defended, because the top priority now is to buy time for the tens of thousands of people who are evacuating to the safe zone!

Han Yu could not ignore the safety of the officers, soldiers and people under the embankment. He immediately asked Director Gu, who was in charge of water command, to arrange for the crew to send more than a dozen cables and put them down along the gentle slope of the new embankment. Once the dangerous embankment in front collapsed and breached, the officers and soldiers who were rescued under the embankment and the masses can climb up along the cable...

Just when he was worried and exhausted, navy divers arrived. There were nine people in total, led by a navy lieutenant colonel.

A layman cannot command an expert, so County Magistrate Huang has long acknowledged that Han Yu is the commander-in-chief.

The naval lieutenant colonel could only report to Han Yu under the leadership of Lao Ge and ask Han Yu to assign tasks.

"Comrade Commander-in-Chief, we have eight divers here, but only four sets of equipment."

"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, you came just in time..."

Han Yu ignored the return gift and briefly introduced the danger he was facing. He then took him into the headquarters tent and handed him two riverbed maps surveyed and mapped by Yao Gong.

"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, we suspect that the leakage points are in these deep ditches at the bottom of the river. If you can find the leakage points as soon as possible and help us plug them, even if you only find and plug one or two, you can help us on the shore. Protect your precious time!"

"This end is far away from the river embankment."

"I will prepare a boat for you. Our captain and crew are experienced in water navigation. They will do their best to ensure that the boat remains stationary on the water."

The work that divers have to do is more dangerous than the officers, soldiers and people working under the embankment.

Han Yu thought about it and dug out another water situation reported by Yao Gong with the assistance of Captain Fan and Xiao Chen: "Our ship has the most advanced underwater surveying equipment and water conservancy survey instruments. They will provide you with the latest water flow." Condition."

Although the flood peak has gone, the current is still very fast.

The diver's equipment is so heavy, and although there is a rope, it is not easy to stop the boat in the river with such fast currents.

Once the attitude of the ship is out of control, the ropes, oxygen tubes and underwater communication wires are likely to be torn off. Not only will the divers be unable to get on, but they will also be swept away, and they may not even know where they will be swept away.

The lieutenant colonel was silent for a moment while looking at the information provided by Han Yu, then raised his head and said, "Okay, arrange for someone to take us on board."

Han Yu reminded: "This mission is very dangerous."

"I know."

"Actually, even if the leak can be found and plugged, it can only buy some time for rescue operations on the shore. Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, what I just said was not an order. I don't know much about diving operations, and I don't know much about the dangers of diving operations. I understand, I just know it’s very dangerous, so it’s up to you whether to go into the water or not.”

"Comrade Commander-in-Chief, we are here to rescue you!"

"Okay, be safe."

Now was not the time for polite words. Han Yu asked Bureau Ge to take them to 001, then raised his hands in salute, and then walked out of the tent without looking back.

…

At the same time, Vice President L, who had just arrived in the morning, had already listened to the report. Accompanied by Vice Governor Zhou, Secretary Chen of Jingzhou City and other leaders, as well as Gong Xi and Vice Mayor Shen, he inspected and guided all the way along the Jingjiang embankment to the mausoleum. The dangerous section of Laomiao Gate in Jiang County.

The Yangtze River is thousands of miles long, but the danger lies in Jingjiang!

This sentence is not said by the people of Jingzhou themselves, but the consensus of senior officials down to the people of Jingzhou throughout the ages.

Because of this, whenever a major danger occurs in the Jingzhou section of the Yangtze River, it must be reported to the National Defense Headquarters as soon as possible.

If the gate wall and gate plate of Laomiao Gate crack and serious water leakage occurs, it is a major danger!

Vice President L stood on the embankment in the scorching heat, looked at the section of embankment in front of him and asked, "Is the original gate here?"

"Yes, it has become part of the dry embankment."

"How long did it take?"

The Linghai reinforcements have been of great help, and they must be shown their faces.

Deputy Governor Zhou introduced: "Comrade Shen Fan, the first secretary of the Linghai Reserve Battalion, commanded the entire process. He knows the situation best."

"Is Comrade Shen Fan here?"

"Here, Comrade Shen Fan, you report to General Manager L."

Vice Mayor Shen still felt like he was dreaming until this moment. He hurriedly stepped forward after being reminded by the bench worker: "Report to the chief, our battalion spent twelve hours on the dangerous situation at the gate of the Nursing Temple. We assisted the cadres and the masses of Lingjiang County. It also took twelve hours to deal with the flood peak and protect other dangerous situations."

Deputy Commander-in-Chief L, who is also the commander-in-chief of the National Defense General, was impressed by the Yangtze River Defense General's request for support from the reserve forces of Jiangnan Province, and subconsciously asked: "Comrade Shen Fan, are you from Binjiang?"

"yes."

"When did you arrive?"

"We set off as soon as we received the order. The shore rescue and construction team arrived here at 12:58 the night before yesterday."

"Come into battle as soon as you get here?"

"yes!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Vice Mayor Shen's nervous little heart was pounding. Just as he was thinking about whether to say "serve the people" or "not hard work", Vice Mayor L suddenly asked: "Comrade Shen Fan, build a levee within twelve hours." , how did you do it?”

This question is easy to answer!

Vice Mayor Shen said hurriedly: "Report to the leader, we have mechanized construction equipment, water conservancy experts, engineering experts and experienced engineering and technical personnel."

The gate of the old temple is gone, and it looks stronger than the dry embankment underfoot.

Vice President L had nothing to worry about. Accompanied by everyone, he boarded the supervision boat of the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau. While indicating to go to the dangerous section of Yangliu Village, Angong County, he asked with interest: "What construction equipment do you have?"

The leader studied geology, which is similar to water conservancy, and he is a real expert.

Vice Mayor Shen did not dare to exaggerate and did not need to exaggerate. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and reported: "We have two imported large excavators, two imported large dump trucks, three large loaders and a bulldozer.

We have transported all the best road and bridge engineering machinery from Linghai. Our battalion No. 1 company is the shore rescue construction company. In fact, it was established from our Linghai Road and Bridge Engineering Company. "

No wonder the efficiency is so high, the equipment is so well-equipped.

Vice President L nodded and asked: "Comrade Shen Fan, your Linghai is also on the Yangtze River, and we also need to prevent and fight floods. You bring the best equipment and the most experienced personnel to support the rescue. What if there is a danger in your hometown?" manage?"

"Reporting to the leader, we suffered from the "three collisions" of typhoon, sea tide and heavy rain last year, and the losses were huge. The provincial, municipal and county levels learned from the painful experience and began comprehensive renovation of river and sea embankments in October last year.

I'm not sure how the Yangtze River embankment renovations in brother counties and cities are going, but as of one and a half months ago, one-third of the reinforced concrete pouring on our Linghai Yangtze River embankment has been completed, and the remaining two-thirds have been reinforced. Increase the height and use riprap to protect the slope. "

"It seems you have confidence in your Yangtze River embankment?"

"Reporting to the head, my job is the deputy mayor of Linghai City and the party secretary of the Linghai Development Zone. I am in charge of the renovation of the main embankment in the Linghai Development Zone of the Yangtze River."

Vice President L knew a little about the situation in Jiangnan Province. He nodded with satisfaction and did not ask anything else.

The leaders of Beihu Province felt very uncomfortable. They couldn't help but think that if we had the funds, we could build it like you, but if we don't have the money, there is nothing we can do...

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely solemn.

Vice Mayor Shen was wondering if he had said the wrong thing just now, when Xi Gong's cell phone suddenly rang, and he quickly walked to the stern of the ship to answer it.

After waiting for a while, Xi Gong came back with a somewhat panicked expression.

Secretary Chen from Jingzhou felt his heart skip a beat and asked in a low voice: "Xi Gong, what's going on?"

"The danger of piping in the Yangliu Village section has developed too fast. Water is no longer seeping out but water is gushing out. If this continues, it will soon turn into gushing out. Judging from the latest shore survey and underwater surveying and mapping data, water has been wiped out by the flood. The 12-meter dangerous embankment is collapsing as a whole."

The more Xi Gong thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He continued: "Han Yu and the comrades of the expert team decided to adjust the rescue plan according to the changes in the danger..."

While rushing to build the cofferdam, at the same time organizing forces to protect the cofferdam.

At the same time, let the Navy divers who just arrived go down to search for leaks, and if they can be found, find a way to plug them.

This is to compete for time with the danger of piping surges and collapses. You can imagine how much danger the officers, soldiers and people who are working on the embankment and below face the danger!

Secretary Chen did not dare to waste a moment and apologized to Vice President L. He took out his mobile phone and went to the stern of the ship to call the county leaders of An Gong, ordering An Gong County to speed up the evacuation of the people.

When encountering such a dangerous situation, there is no need to rush.

Vice President L was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Gong Xi, who is Comrade Han Yu?"

"Comrade Han Yu is a subordinate of Vice Mayor Shen and the commander of the Linghai Reserve Battalion. He is now the commander-in-chief of the rescue scene."

"Where's the expert team?"

"It's the expert team of the Linghai Reserve Battalion, chief. In fact, I am also a member of the expert team."

"Comrade Shen Fan, the members of the expert team in your reserve battalion are of very high level."

"Reporting to the leader, our Linghai Reserve Battalion is a mobile assault battalion for flood control and rescue established this year in accordance with the requirements of the Provincial Party Committee, Provincial Government and Provincial Military Region. Although most of the personnel are demobilized officers and veterans, and most of them have participated in flood fighting in previous years, as a The emergency mobile assault force is still not professional enough, so we hired experts such as Xi Gong to train and guide us."

Emergency protection in major dangers requires not only equipment, but also technical strength.

Vice President L asked: "How many experts do you have?"

"There are five experts in the expert team. There are Xi Gong and Xugong on the Yangtze River Committee, and we have three on the Linghai side. One is the old director of the Transportation Bureau, and the other is the deputy chief engineer and chief forecaster of the Meteorological Bureau. That is, the father-in-law of the battalion commander Comrade Han Yu. One is the township party secretary W who has been relegated to the second line. The old secretary has been working by the river and has rich experience in flood prevention and rescue."

If you don’t report the results at this time, when will you report them?

Vice Mayor Shen calmed down and continued: "If we count the number of engineers, there are many. Including the battalion commander Comrade Han Yu, there are twenty-eight engineers in the whole battalion."

Others don't understand the situation of the Linghai Reserve Battalion, but Xi Gong knows it all too well.

There are twenty-eight engineers in the whole battalion. This is not a boast, but there are only six or seven related to flood control and rescue, and they mainly come from the Road and Bridge Company, Water Conservancy Bureau and Channel Engineering Bureau.

The remaining engineers cover a wide range of professional fields.

For example, Han Yu is a fire engineer.

Another example is the communications and power support team. Some are communications engineers, some are power engineers, and there are even more engineers involved in ship construction.

Vice President L didn't know why and sighed: "Comrade Shen Fan, flood prevention and rescue operations require a team like yours, which requires both equipment and professional and technical personnel."

"Reporting to the leader, we have just formed and we can't find a team to learn from. We can only cross the river by feeling the stones first. Being able to come to Beihu for rescue this time is an opportunity for us to train in actual combat. We will summarize the rescue process. We will address the shortcomings and strive to do better.”

"You have done a good job, I believe you can protect the Yangliu Village section from danger!"

"Thank you, Chief, for your encouragement."

Why can't you find a team to learn from?

You have so much mechanized equipment, so many experts and engineers, even meteorological experts, and strong logistical support from the long-distance navigation system and the Yangtze River Commission. Looking at the country, you can't find another team like this.

Vice Governor Zhou is really jealous of Shen Fan, a young deputy mayor of a county-level city, but he can only be envious and jealous. No one has done well in his economic development and does not have so much money to purchase large-scale construction equipment and hire senior experts. Woolen cloth.

A leader who came with Vice President L to guide flood prevention and rescue operations asked curiously: "Comrade Shen Fan, how many teams like this do you have in Linghai?"

"Report to the chief, this is the one. In fact, not only our Linghai, but the entire Binjiang may not be able to get a second one."

"What about the whole province?"

"It's probably difficult too."

Vice Mayor Shen paused and added: "Actually, we are a mobile water rescue battalion. Only the vanguard is performing rescue tasks. A large number of engineering ships and support ships for water rescue operations are on their way to Jingzhou, waiting for the water rescue company. Our combat effectiveness will increase exponentially."

"Do you have water equipment?"

"Yes, we have recruited floating cranes, steam ferries, comprehensive supply ships, floating water plant ships, cooking ships, and two floating living ships converted from barges. There is also a water transport fleet, and a sailing and water transport fleet. We even towed a water refueling station to the law enforcement fleet that was on guard duty during the rescue."

Vice President L was shocked and turned around and asked: "Comrade Shen Fan, do you know that you are here to support us, the province and the city?"

"The Provincial Military Region knows it, and the Binjiang Municipal Party Committee and City Government also know it."

“Where is the provincial party committee and provincial government?”

"I don't know if the provincial leaders know this."

"Then do your provincial leaders know that you have so much equipment?"

"Maybe you don't know, because this is the first large-scale assembly since the establishment of our battalion. Previously, the head of the Jiangnan Army Reserve Division went to our Linghai inspection and saw only the pre-assigned officers and soldiers of the entire battalion, but not our equipment. "

"Why don't you let your superiors see it?"

"Chief, we want our superiors to see it, so that they can rest assured. But our equipment comes from dozens of units. Not to mention how much economic losses will be caused by one assembly, the amount of oil that needs to be burned during the assembly is tens of thousands. Bucks.”

Vice President L was silent for a moment and said sideways: "Comrade Health, fortunately the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government didn't know they had such an emergency rescue team. If they had known earlier, there is a high probability that they would not have been able to mobilize it."

Linghai is located at the end of the Yangtze River. The embankments are well built, so there is no need to worry about flooding in the Yangtze River.

Jiangcheng, the capital of Jiangnan Province, is different. Like Hanwu, the urban area spans both sides of the Yangtze River. The river surface is far less wide than the Linghai waters. The second flood peak is about to reach Jiangcheng. Although the Yangtze River embankments have been fully renovated before, the flood control pressure in Jiangcheng is still very high. .

If you can't take care of it yourself, how can you let such a professional flood control force come to support Beihu?

Vice Governor Zhou reacted suddenly and couldn't help but sigh: "It's true, it seems we got a big deal!"

Vice President L pointed to the workers and said meaningfully: "So you have to thank the workers, the China Shipping Bureau, and the Yangtze River Defense Directorate."
