Riverside police

We are facing the flood peak, and divers such as Yao Gong and Lao Li cannot spend all their time here. Han Yu returned to the shore and asked Yao Gong and others to take 001 and leave first.

At this time, engineers from the local water conservancy department also arrived, but they were also helpless to face the danger of piping under the embankment.

Something must be done now, we cannot wait any longer.

Han Yu couldn't care so much, so he took over the command in the name of Jingzhou City's finger-defense emergency rescue commando captain, and asked Vice Mayor Zhong to quickly find a way to raise stakes.

Where can I find stakes at this juncture?

Vice Mayor Zhong had no choice but to ask cadres at the township and village levels to organize people to cut down trees nearby.

The troop leader thought the crowd was slow and immediately ordered a major to lead a platoon to help.

"Comrade Xiao Han, the stakes will be in place soon. What should we do after they are in place?"

"Piling."

"Where to fight?"

"Drive outside the embankment, start from here to the edge of the gate, and drill one every meter." Han Yu took a deep breath and continued: "After driving the piles, throw sandbags between the piles and the embankment to fill them up. It must be filled tightly and flush with the embankment.”

"Go fill the sandbags immediately."

"yes!"

"Continue." After the commander gave the order to a lieutenant colonel, he looked at Han Yu again, showing his composure without anger.

The gate is the focus of flood control, and emergency supplies here are relatively abundant.

With the support of the People's Liberation Army, there is no need to worry about insufficient manpower.

Han Yu calmed down and added: "After filling the gap between the piles and the embankment, continue to throw sandbags outside the piles. Only in this way can the stability of this row of piles be ensured."

Wan Gong from the Shishou City Water Conservancy Bureau couldn't help but remind him: "Captain Han, what we need to protect now are pipes and springs."

"I know."

Han Yu walked to Deputy Mayor Zhong and pointed to the inside of the embankment: "The inside needs to be piled and filled with sandbags, and the outside of the piles needs to be protected by sandbags."

The chief stared at him and asked, "Will this solve the problem?"

"It cannot solve the danger of piping, but it can ensure the stability of the embankment. Only by ensuring that the embankment will not collapse can we dig holes on the embankment."

"Dig a hole?"

"Yes, dig as deep as possible, and use timber to support the tunnel while digging."

"Comrade Han Yu, digging a hole on the embankment, do you know what this means?"

"Chief, I know very well, so before digging the pit, piles must be driven inside and outside the embankment, and protective measures must be taken."

"Then what?"

"The grouting rescue team of our commando team is on the way here. When they arrive, they will go into the pit to work. First, they will drill holes under the embankment in the pit. They need to drill a lot of holes. Then they will grout under the embankment through the drilled holes to see if it can Block the passage of water seeping into the embankment.”

Wan Gong reacted, hesitated and said: "Captain Han, the water seeps into the embankment so fast, the sediment under the embankment foundation can be brought up. Even if the slurry can be poured into the permeable layer, the slurry may still be brought out. .”

"It is possible to be brought out, but it is also possible not to be brought out. If it is really taken out, we will compete with it to see if it can take it out faster or we can fill it up faster!" Han Yu paused and emphasized: " Wan Gong, we can’t think of a better way.”

"Mayor Zhong, Wan Gong, what do you think?" the chief turned around and asked.

Vice Mayor Zhong didn't know if this method would work, so he subconsciously looked at Wan Gong.

Wan Gong was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "Captain Han is right, there is really no better way besides this."

"Actually, this idea was not thought of by me, but by Xiao Du, the leader of our grouting team. Two leaders, it will take about an hour and a half for the grouting team to arrive. Time is urgent. Can we drive the piles within an hour and a half? , protect the slope and dig the hole well, it’s up to you two.”

"Okay, let's do it!"

…

Han Yu was too tired and sleepy. After drawing a line on the embankment and explaining everything, he lay down in the shade at the gate, closed his eyes and rested his mind. As a result, he fell asleep within three minutes of lying down.

Vice Mayor Zhong didn't expect Han Yu to fall asleep and didn't know what to say for a while.

The commander also didn't expect that Han Yu would dare to sleep in front of so many people, so he was a little unhappy, but considering that Han Yu was not one of his subordinates, he simply pretended not to see it.

There were more than 400 soldiers and civilians on and off the embankment, and military and local leaders were all stationed on the embankment, so they started working very quickly.

Cut down a tree, clear out the branches and carry it over to drive the pile.

The speed of filling and carrying sandbags was also very fast. After a while, there were several "mountains of sandbags" piled up on the embankment...

When the filling team's boat arrived at the gate, the pit was almost dug, and the soldiers who dug the pit used wood to support the tunnel as Han Yu had requested.

Du Yuan tied the cable with the help of the army officers and soldiers on the shore, and carried the drilling equipment ashore with three comrades. He asked eagerly: "Chief, where is our Secretary Han?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not the chief, the chief is over there!"

"Where?"

"What are you looking at? Our commander is looking at you." The helping captain quickly reminded him.

Du Yuan looked up and was startled. He couldn't believe that a major general was staring at him.

"Little comrade, where are your squad leaders?"

"Report to the chief, I am the squad leader."

"Are you the captain of the grouting team?"

"yes!"

"Which army are you from?"

"Reporting to the leader, I am Du Yuan, a soldier from the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Company, 7th Platoon, 3rd Platoon, 132nd Regiment, 404th Division, 105th Army. I have been ordered to come to rescue the dangerous pipe surge. Please give instructions!"

Is it wrong to let a private be the squad leader?

Just when the chief thought it was ridiculous, Du Yuan said eagerly: "Chief, let me go and have a look in the pit first."

"Go ahead and do it quickly."

"yes!"

It doesn't matter that the commando leader is sleeping and letting a private do the work.

The chief was just about to ask Deputy Mayor Zhong to call Jingzhou Defense Command and ask if the emergency rescue commando they sent was reliable. When he saw Du Yuan rushing down the embankment to check on the situation at the outlet, he immediately ran to the foot of the embankment. Use a thin bamboo pole to measure left and right, and then raise the walkie-talkie to wonder who it is calling.

Two airborne soldiers on the embankment were busy preparing drilling equipment. There was also a reserve soldier and an active airborne soldier on the boat. One was putting water into the middle cabin, and the other was busy putting the contents of the woven bag into the cabin. Pour, it looks a bit like cement but not quite like it.

The driver of the boat was also wearing a camouflage uniform, but not a camouflage hat, and did not have a reserve rank on his shoulders. He was busy inspecting a piece of equipment that looked a bit like a water pump.

"Xiaojun, are you done?"

"alright."

"You and Guan Tao go down to drill holes first."

"yes!"

The danger of piping below is very scary. There are more piping mouths than the Yangliu Village embankment section that we fought to protect before.

Du Yuan realized the seriousness of the problem and did not dare to waste a moment. He raised his head and asked: "Chief, can you arrange a few people to help?"

"No problem, Zhang Hao, bring someone over to help."

"yes!"

"Please help me move these sandbags away."

"We just filled it in!"

"I know, I can see it."

The captain said dumbfounded: "It was your Captain Han who asked me to fill it in!"

Du Yuan didn't care so much and said eagerly: "It's not enough to drill holes in the pit. We have to drill here and there. As long as the sandbags in this section are moved away, the sandbags on both sides don't need to be moved."

"Okay, you hear me, let's get to work!"

After the captain gave an order, more than forty army officers and soldiers were divided into two groups and began to move the newly filled sandbags.

Du Yuan raised his walkie-talkie and called "Secretary Han" twice. When there was no response, he simply stopped calling. He ran to the embankment and asked his comrades on the ship to hand over the "slurry distributor" and grouting pipe.

The soldiers in the Air Force are awesome, even a private can be a squad leader!

An army soldier envied Du Yuan and couldn't help but said: "Captain Du, your Secretary Han is sleeping over there at the gate. Do you want me to shout for you?"

"Is Secretary Han asleep?"

"Yeah, he's snoring over there."

"Stop shouting and let him sleep for a while."

"Don't shout?"

"Our Secretary Han has not had a good sleep for many days. Let him sleep a little longer."

The captain leading the team asked curiously: "How many days?"

While Du Yuan was skillfully assembling the grouting equipment, he asked: "Boss, when did you come?"

"We've been here four days."

"You've only been here four days."

"What about you?"

Du Yuan carefully placed the grouting pipe connected to the hose into the pit, raised his head and said: "Our commando team is the first batch to fight the flood. No troops are earlier than our commando team!"

The captain was doubtful: "How early?"

"You should have met Yao Gong."

"The engineer who came this morning?"

"Um."

"I've seen it."

"Yao Gong and his friends were the first batch to come, arriving at the end of May."

"There were no floods at the end of May. Why are there no floods? Who are you kidding?"

"I'm not going to lie to you. In fact, the National Flood Control Bureau and the Yangtze River Flood Control Bureau have long expected that there will be floods this year. Yao Gong is the leader of our commando flood control technical team. They and 001 assisted the Hydrological Bureau of the Yangtze River Commission in Linghai at the end of May. Came here to survey the water conditions."

Du Yuan assembled the grouting pipe and jumped down with the help of his two brothers. After thinking about it, he looked up and said: "Our large army came to fight the first flood peak. Secretary Han came to fight the second flood peak." When the time came, I started to rescue people as soon as I got off the car, and I haven’t had a break until now.”

They came so early, so to speak, they really can't compare to them.

The captain was sighing secretly when Du Yuan raised the walkie-talkie again: "Old squad leader, squad leader, I, Du Yuan, can you receive it?"

"Copy that, what's the matter?"

"I'm intubating, when will you be able to mix it up?"

"Stirring, five minutes at most."

"Add four bags of cement."

"Know."

"Wait a minute, pour another twenty bottles of ink into the pulp."

"Pour it into the pulp?"

"Well, just pour it into the slurry. If it's not dark enough, pour a few more bottles."

"Okay, got it."

Time waits for no one, so just drill a few holes and insert a few grouting pipes. Once inserted, turn on the machine and start grouting.

With the roar of the machine, black mud continued to be poured into the embankment, and some holes could not be filled and bubbled up from the holes.

Du Yuan and his two comrades working in the pit were covered in mud, and in an instant they turned into black clay figures, as if they had come out of a mine.

The chief and Vice Mayor Zhong saw this and were anxious in their hearts, wondering if this method would work.

Du Yuan didn't know either. After all the holes were drilled, all the pipes were inserted, and all the filling holes were filled, he climbed up with his two comrades.

He looked like a black African, but he didn't bother to find water to wash his face and hands. As soon as he came up, he rushed down the embankment and went straight to the filter well surrounded by sandbags by the army officers and soldiers. He lay down by the well and stared nervously at the "Baotu Spring" that kept pouring out. .

"Old squad leader, I'm Du Yuan, can you receive it?"

"Copy that, please speak."

"More pressure."

"It can't be any bigger, otherwise the pipe will collapse."

"A little bit, a little bigger."

"Okay, let Xiaolin and the others stay away first."

"The pipes and fittings were in the pit and they've come up."

"good."

Wan Gong looked at it for a long time and finally saw something interesting.

Seeing that the head of the army and Vice Mayor Zhong were hesitant to speak, he quickly explained: "The young man was observing the changes at the mouth of the pipe. They also added a lot of ink to the mud. If the inflow is not as fast as before, and the water If the color of the grout changes, it means that the grout has worked, at least proving that their grout has reached the permeable layer.”

The chief reacted and said without hesitation: "Let's go down and have a look."

A strange scene occurred. Leaders, including the head of the army and Vice Mayor Zhong, gathered around the filter wells, staring closely at each "Baotu Spring", wondering whether the grouting had any effect.

…

Han Yu had been very sleepy for the past two days and was sleeping soundly. He didn't know how long he had slept when he was suddenly woken up.

As soon as I opened my sleepy eyes and was wondering where I was, I heard cheers coming from below the embankment.

"Secretary Han, Secretary Han, it works!"

"What works, what time is it?"

Du Yuan wiped his face and grinned: "It's now around 6:30. We have been pouring for more than two hours. We have really poured the slurry into the permeable layer!"

Only then did Han Yu remember where he was, got up and asked, "How do you know it works? How did you end up like this?"

"I added ink to the paste, and I was sprayed with paste."

"See ink on the spout?"

"Well, not only can I see it, but I can also block it!"

"Let's go and have a look."

Han Yu was so thirsty that he didn't bother to drink water. He followed Du Yuan to the big filter well.

He didn't even bother to look at the dozen "Baotu Spring". The leader of the army didn't care how dirty Du Yuan was, so he put his arm around Du Yuan's shoulders and laughed and said: "Captain Han, Comrade Xiao Du stood up. Great work! He had a good idea and a good defense, but your general is even better!"

"Really? Let me take a look first."

"Look, it's almost turned into an ink pool, and the water isn't pouring in as fast as before."

"It seems to be working."

"It's working." Before the leader of the army could say anything, Wan Gong said excitedly: "Continue to pour, keep pouring, the pouring speed is faster than the gushing speed. I estimate that it will be blocked until tomorrow morning at most!"

Du Yuan also didn't expect that the dead horse was actually successful. He was so excited that he couldn't help but turned around and said with a smile: "Secretary Han, not only did you see the ink inside, but you also saw it outside!"

"Find the missing point?"

"There is a piece of water floating on the river. The specific location of the leak is not clear, but the approximate range can be determined."

"Have you notified Yao Gong?"

"Notice, Mr. Yao has a rescue mission and can't come through. Captain Li and the divers of the diving team are on their way here."

…

At 7:48, 001 dragged a barge loaded with sandbags and stones to the gate waters again.

With the assistance of three Naval Academy divers, Lao Li went into the water again. After more than an hour of difficult underwater operations, he successfully found the leak!

Han Yu had already asked local cadres to prepare dozens of quilts, wrap large rocks and throw them down.

At nine twenty-one, the leak was successfully plugged!

The effect of plugging the leakage was immediate. The eleven pipe wells that had been flowing slowly under the action of grouting no longer flowed out.

Du Yuan and Lao Li became worthy heroes.

The army officers and soldiers at the scene didn't care how dirty Du Yuan was, they cheered and celebrated while surrounding him and throwing him into the sky.

Vice Mayor Zhong was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He held Lao Li's hand tightly and kept saying thank you.

The troop leader looked at Du Yuan, who was being thrown into the sky like a sandbag by the soldiers, and asked with a smile: "So you are the one who dug up Xiao Du?"

Han Yu was equally happy and said with a smile: "I went to their camp to recruit him."

The chief muttered: "Since he is a talented person, he must be reused. Besides, what the young man is protecting is not just the pipeline crisis here. It's a pity that he is not a soldier of our army, otherwise I will give him a front-line membership in the party, a front-line meritorious service, and a front-line promotion!"

Vice Mayor Zhong was convinced and echoed: "Yes, Captain Han, if you have difficulty judging Xiao Du's merits and awards, our Shishou City People's Government can give him credit!"

"We have no difficulties. I will report to Political Commissar Yang right away."

"Which political commissar Yang?" asked the troop leader.

Han Yu quickly said: "The political commissar of the 132nd Regiment."

"What's the use of looking for the political commissar of the regiment?" The army leader snorted coldly, took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed a number. While waiting for the other party to answer, he smiled and said: "I happen to know Political Commissar Tian of the 105th Army. I told Political Commissar Tian .”
