Riverside police

All the troops along the line were on the embankment, including not only the People's Liberation Army troops, but also the armed police, and there were also militiamen who were more numerous than the People's Liberation Army and the armed police.

You can't sing in the front, and you can't sing when you get here.

People heard it from afar and were looking forward to it. You can't let them down.

The formation on the water went down the river and sang all the way. Everyone couldn't sing and could only lip-sync, wave red flags and even camouflage hats to greet the officers and soldiers on the shore.

Dongdong was so excited that he no longer cared about sailing the boat, so he ran to the bow of the boat and started playing time.

Captain Fan was at the helm, and Xiao Chen went up to help play the songs.

Han Yu couldn't even beat the beat anymore, so he simply handed over the task of "getting together" with the officers and soldiers on the shore to Dongdong, and quickly returned to the command cabin to drink some water to moisten his throat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the water was poured, Huang Yuanchang called.

Han Yu hurriedly answered the phone and asked, "Huang Chu, is there any danger?"

"Not yet."

"It scared me, what happened?"

"Are you singing on the river?"

"Well, the command module is not very well sealed, did you hear that?"

Huang Yuanchang had just returned to the defense. He looked at the leaders who were sitting in the office opposite, waiting for orders, and whispered: "I didn't hear it on the phone, it was when the head of the military region called Deputy Governor Zhou just now. He said that your songs were played well, that the officers and soldiers guarding the embankment sang well, and that at this time, it is even more important to boost morale."

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "How did the head of the military region know?"

"They went to check on the levee."

Compared with the head of the military region who came to inspect the embankment, Han Yu was more concerned about whether the flood was diverted. He couldn't help but said: "Huang Chu, we came all the way. Although the water level has risen quite high, the embankment is higher. I think it should be able to withstand it." , will the siltation embankment outside the North Gate be blown up?"

"No bombing, no flood diversion."

"Decided?"

Huang Yuanchang looked at the office diagonally opposite again, holding his mobile phone tightly and said excitedly: "It's decided. President L said before that 'this government will never divert floods' when he came here. Vice President L reiterated it again in the afternoon, otherwise the Chinese Y Army will We will not order all the troops along the line to go up the embankment tonight."

Finally heard the news I wanted to hear most.

Han Yu was so excited that he wanted to cry, and murmured: "Great, the water level now is almost as high as the fourth flood peak. If we can withstand the fourth flood peak, we can withstand this one!"

"Well, I believe that as long as the military and civilians work together, we will be able to hold on." Huang Yuanchang took a deep breath and changed the topic: "Xianyu, is Reporter Wang with you?"

"exist."

"Why can't he get through on his cell phone?"

"You have something to do with him?"

"I'm not looking for him, it's the people from the Political Department of the Military Region who are looking for him. I'll give you a number and ask him to get back to you as soon as possible."

Reporter Wang is not from the army, so why would the Political Department of the Military Region come to him?

Han Yu was really worried, fearing that Reporter Wang would write something he shouldn't and couldn't write. He quickly wrote down Huang Yuanchang's phone number and ran to the crew cabin below to wake up Reporter Wang, who had fallen asleep as soon as he lay down because he was so tired these days.

"Uncle Wang, why did the army leader come to you?"

"Maybe it's about the manuscript."

Reporter Wang rubbed his eyes, took the note from Han Yu, looked at it, then pulled out the charging battery, installed it on his mobile phone, and dialed the number on the note.

"Hello, I'm Wang Xiangguang, a reporter from Binjiang Radio Station. What do you want from me? Editor-in-chief Yang is looking for me. OK, OK, I'll call him back right away. By the way, how did he find you? I understand, I’m sorry to cause you any trouble.”

Reporter Wang didn't bother to explain to Han Yu, quickly pulled out a number and continued to dial.

The call was connected quickly. Although the noise in the cabin was loud, Reporter Wang also turned up the volume of his mobile phone very loudly. Han Yu clearly heard the other party saying on the other end of the phone: "Director Wang, I'm sorry, I received your call." It’s been almost six days since I submitted the manuscript, and I didn’t call you back until today.”

"It's okay, Mr. Yang, can I send the manuscript?"

"Director Wang, your article is not only a panoramic report on flood control, but also a report on the situation to superiors. It pointed out the shortcomings of publicity during this period. But the shortcomings are not caused by our military media. Of course, we There are indeed deficiencies in the publicity work.”

"Mr. Yang, I don't mean to blame you. I also know that this has nothing to do with you, and the officers and soldiers participating in the flood fight should indeed publicize it. In the past month or so, I walked from Beihu to Hui'an, and then from Hui'an back to Beihu. I have seen many touching deeds, and even witnessed the officers and soldiers risking their lives to jump into the breach and resist the flood with their own flesh and blood, but we cannot ignore the role and contribution of the vast number of militia and reserve officers and soldiers in flood fighting and rescue operations."

Reporter Wang took a deep breath and emphasized: "When it comes to jumping off the breach to resist the flood, the militiamen also jumped. When it comes to sacrificing their precious lives to fight the flood, there are still militiamen who sacrificed their lives! How many PLA soldiers are fighting floods in the Yangtze River Basin? How many soldiers participated in the flood fight? How many militia reserve forces are there?

Compared with the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police, the militia reserve troops are not only larger in number, but also go up embankments to fight floods earlier. People are the first ones to go up the embankment, and even the last ones to get off the embankment. Many militiamen had their homes flooded, but they had to go elsewhere to fight the flood.

But now the propaganda is focused on the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police. To put it bluntly, even if they sacrifice their lives, they are not as valuable as active duty officers and soldiers. At least in terms of posthumous treatment, it is far from comparable to that of the sacrificed PLA officers and soldiers. "

It turns out that this is what reporter Wang wrote!

Han Yu reacted and just when he didn't know what to say, he heard the other party say: "I know, I can understand your mood. I reported it to my superiors the same day I received the manuscript. The reason why I called you today is, I want to tell you that your superiors attach great importance to this.

At the latest the morning of tomorrow, the four headquarters will jointly issue a notice emphasizing that more than five million militia and reserve officers and soldiers across the country have been involved in flood fighting and rescue operations and have played an important role. "

Reporter Wang frowned and asked, "Just played an important role?"

"My superiors asked me for materials, and this is what I wrote. More than five million reserve officers and soldiers have become the main force and commandos in flood fighting and rescue operations. I don't know whether the superiors can accept it. However, the superiors must attach it when issuing a joint briefing. I am the main author of the situation where militiamen and reserve force officers and soldiers play an important role in flood fighting and rescue operations.

I learned a lot from your manuscript, and asked my colleagues to contact the military regions for verification, and asked each military region to report the touching deeds of militiamen and reserve force officers and soldiers in flood fighting and rescue operations. We will make an objective and comprehensive summary, but this is a description of the situation, not a press release in the usual sense, so there will be no signature when publishing. "

Reporter Wang said without hesitation: "It doesn't matter whether you sign or not. What's important is that the contribution of millions of militia and reserve officers and soldiers cannot be erased."

"Director Wang, please rest assured. The superiors know that they will definitely not negate the contribution of millions of militia reserve officers and soldiers. Besides, the militia reserve force is an important part of our People's Liberation Army."

"Okay, I'm relieved now."

"Then your article will be published after the joint bulletin from the four headquarters is released."

"What about the title, do you want to change it?"

"No need to change it, just use your original one."

"Great, thank you Mr. Yang!"

"Director Wang, we should be the ones thanking you. Thank you for traveling throughout the Yangtze River Basin, interviewing so many militia and reserve troops, and providing us with so much detailed material."

…

Reporter Wang took action, and it was indeed extraordinary.

An article that year drew national attention to the issue of illegal fishing of eel fry.

Now an article has alarmed the four headquarters, and all four headquarters have issued a joint notification.

Han Yu was secretly shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Wang, how did you write the title before?"

Reporter Wang removed the cell phone battery and prepared to continue charging it, and said lightly: "The original title was "There are millions of people fighting floods, and nine out of ten are militia reserves."

This topic is quite sensitive, especially at this juncture.

Now, whenever you turn on the TV, all you see is the People's Liberation Army officers and soldiers risking their lives to fight the flood. People across the country are moved and even shed tears. If you publish such an article at this time, it means that the People's Liberation Army officers and soldiers are only supporting roles, and the militia reserves are the protagonists.

In fact, the number of militia reserve officers and soldiers engaged in flood fighting and rescue operations does far exceed that of active officers and soldiers.

Yesterday, the news said that 300,000 People's Liberation Army officers and soldiers were involved in flood fighting, but these 300,000 refers to flood fighting and rescue operations across the country, and at most half of them are in the Yangtze River Basin.

Can 150,000 officers and soldiers guard the main embankment of the Yangtze River? Obviously impossible.

Han Yu didn't know about other places. He only knew that if it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of militia reserve officers and soldiers, local party members and cadres and the masses along the line, and the tens of thousands of PLA officers and soldiers who came to support the flood fight, they would definitely not be able to hold the Jingjiang embankment.

Thinking of this, Han Yu couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Wang, have you written about our camp?"

"I am writing about the entire Yangtze River Basin, how could I only write about you."

"So you mentioned our camp?"

"I mentioned it and passed it off in one stroke."

"Just mention it. In fact, we don't really need publicity now."

"Look, I'm proud of you. When it comes to touching deeds, there are so many touching deeds of the militia and reserve forces. Your battalion can't be ranked at all. San'er, you might not be happy if I tell you. Compared with others, you are nothing like 'touching'." 'The word doesn't even come close to it."

"I know that several militiamen in the Jingzhou Military Division died. Their deeds are really touching and should be publicized more."

…

After chatting for a while, we returned to the deck and it was already dark.

On both sides of the Jingjiang River, some sections of the embankment are brightly lit, and in some sections the light of flashlights and lanterns can be seen, and there are people everywhere.

In order to ensure navigation safety, although the lighting facilities of the engineering fleet are very complete, they only display the lights for night sailing. The "chorus" has also ended, and only the roar of the main engine and auxiliary engines can be heard.

Han Yu was about to call Boss Huang to ask about the situation, but Captain Peng actually called.

"Captain, I am salty fish, what are your instructions?"

"I don't have any instructions. I just saw you and called you to say hello."

"Where are you?"

"We are on the embankment. I am looking at you. Is the political commissar on the boat?"

"The political commissar is on the big 001, and I'm on the little 001. I'll lean over and take a look at you!"

"No, please don't. You are busy with your business. It is more important to perform your mission."

Han Yu looked at the embankment with the flashlight flashing and asked: "Captain, how is the situation here? Do you need emergency supplies? We have brought a lot and can provide support to you."

Commander Peng looked at the sailing fleet from a distance and said: "No, we can hold on. Your supplies are of great use, keep them for critical moments."

"Okay, let's go first."

"Let's go, we will meet again after we defeat this flood."

Li Shousong and the others didn't know that they were passing by the main force. If they knew about it, they would be very excited and regretful.

What's exciting is that after being separated for nearly a month, we finally reunited.

Unfortunately, the regimental commander, chief of staff and other leaders and comrades from the first and third battalions were all on the shore, but they could not go ashore to meet with the leaders and comrades.

Han Yuzheng was filled with emotion. His senior sister who had never dared to influence his command of flood fighting and rescue operations actually called him.

When he saw the caller ID, he missed his senior sister, his daughter, and his family very much. He quickly answered the phone and asked, "Ningning, why did you think of calling me?"

"Are you busy now?"

"not busy."

"As long as you're not busy." Han Xiangning held up the phone, looked back at her mother who was sitting in front of the TV with Han Han in her arms, and said, "We were watching CCTV's disaster relief party, and the host said that you need to divert floods over there. real or fake?"

"We are preparing to divert the flood, but we are not diverting the flood for the time being."

"Then do we need to divert the flood?"

"It depends on the situation. Judging from the current situation, we should be able to hold on. But Hong Feng has just arrived, and no one can say whether we can hold on in the end."

"Be careful."

"I know."
