At 9:30 a.m., the "delegation" of the Linghai Reserve Battalion arrived at the temporary camp of the Reserve Zhouqiao Regiment of the Beihu Military Region early and visited and studied accompanied by the Deputy Minister of the Armed Forces Department of Angong County.

Most of the people's power boats were used to transport emergency supplies, and only two were parked under the embankment.

The deputy leader who stayed at the temporary camp was very enthusiastic and took everyone to visit the power boat. He even accompanied everyone on the power boat to visit the bridge that was just erected last night.

This trip benefited a lot, and even Han Yu was eye-opening.

It is the real Big Brother. It was established as early as 1984. Its main task is to implement the cross-river project of the Beihu section of the Han River Basin in wartime and to be responsible for emergency rescue and rescue in the Jianghan area in peacetime.

Compared with emergency rescue and disaster relief, people are more professional in building pontoon ferries.

It can build a pontoon bridge in just a few hours to ensure the rapid passage of troops encountering obstacles in the river, and can pass tanks, self-propelled artillery and other heavy equipment weighing 30 to 40 tons.

The power boat is very sturdy and has good stability when sailing on the water.

When performing a search and rescue mission, one power boat can carry five to six assault boats. When performing a task of building a pontoon ferry, the power boats will turn into "steel pontoons". They can be lined up on the river and set up special bridges. Turn the chasm into a thoroughfare.

However, the river surface in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River is not as wide as the Binjiang waters, and the wind and waves are not as big as the Binjiang waters.

The riverside waters are located at the end of the Yangtze River where there are many ships passing by. Even if the wind and waves are not strong and the river is not wide, it is impossible to conduct training on building a pontoon bridge across the river like others do.

More importantly, distinctive reserve forces have supporting units.

The Linghai Reserve Battalion mainly relies on Linghai Road and Bridge Company, various units of the long-distance shipping system and several port and shipping companies in Binjiang. What they mainly rely on is a military industrial enterprise that specializes in designing and manufacturing pontoon equipment.

In other words, the pontoon equipment is produced by them themselves. They are experts in how to design and manufacture it, how to improve it according to the actual situation, and how to operate it. This is not something that the Linghai Reserve Battalion can learn if they want.

Because of this, their professionalism is beyond expectations.

The pontoon and bridge equipment are all standard, and even the active-duty troops are not equipped with them. On the other hand, the Linghai Reserve Battalion is all civilian construction machinery and private construction vessels. It can be seen that although he was named by his superiors at the same time, in fact there is still a big gap between him and others, and he must learn from others humbly.

What shocked everyone even more was that this was a real disaster area.

There is a vast ocean on both sides of the embankment, and the embankment is covered with shacks. The people who are surviving the disaster have sad faces, and the children are carefree, chasing and playing with their shirts and even their buttocks bare.

Local comrades said that many people were still trapped on the embankments in the vast ocean.

Some are moving to safe areas, but more are unwilling to move. Those people not only lack medical treatment and medicine, but even the most basic food and clean drinking water.

Looking at Mengxi being swallowed up by the flood, and looking at the pointed roofs that occasionally popped up in the endless water, Han Yu and others felt the same for the disaster caused by the flood.

When I saw vehicles carrying disaster relief supplies carrying the slogan "One party is in trouble, all parties will support" roaring towards us, they were delivered here in an endless stream. Hope and confidence rose in Han Yu's heart. There is no mercy in floods, but love is there. As long as true love exists in the world, great love will surely overcome disasters!

The main task of the Reserve Ark Bridge Regiment of the Beihu Provincial Military Region is to transport disaster relief materials from all levels of society into the "flood plain" and distribute them to people in urgent need of materials.

Although the Flood Demon is ruthless, there is great love in the world.

Cadres and people in the disaster-stricken areas who received the relief materials excitedly shook hands with the people from various units and enterprises who came to deliver the relief materials. They did not want to let go for a long time, and kept saying thank you with tears in their eyes. Their gratitude was beyond words. When the relief convoy was unloading supplies and heading back, their hands waved again and again, and they delivered and delivered.

On the way back to the "base", I encountered strict workers from the Angong County Water Conservancy Bureau.

Han Yu asked Vice Mayor Shen, Vice Minister Li and others to leave first through the intercom. He and Dongdong, who insisted on following, got out of the car to greet Yan Gong.

Yan Gong asked happily: "Secretary Han, why are you here!"

"I went to Meng Xi's place to look around this morning. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"What are you going to see there?"

"Let's take a look at the Ark Bridge Regiment of the Beihu Provincial Military Region Reserve. We're here to take a look at the disaster situation."

Yan Gong of Mengxi Village felt uncomfortable when he mentioned it. He was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "Be careful to defend to the death. After defending and guarding, you still fail to defend. It breaks out in places that shouldn't be breached and causes such huge economic losses. I'm sorry for the people in the compound." Hundreds of thousands of people, I also feel sorry for you friends who came to support us in fighting the flood."

Han Yu motioned to Dongdong to get a bottle of mineral water from the car and handed it to Yan Gong: "Yan Gong, this is none of your business."

"One rat droppings ruins the whole pot of porridge."

Yan Gong took the mineral water, unscrewed it and drank half of the bottle in one go. He pointed at the section of the dike in front and said with a choked voice: "During the high water flood season for more than a month, every sentry post and every dangerous place on the section of the dike has been damaged." There is a cadre stationed at each gate station. The masses can rotate, but they cannot change. Even if the millet soaks in the water and rots, even if the child is sick in bed, they must stick to the embankment.

The cadres at Yanjiatai were irresponsible, careless, and caused a catastrophe. Not only did they cause such huge economic losses to the people and make hundreds of thousands of people homeless, they also ruined the reputation of our county cadres! If a few people hadn't pulled him that night, I would have smashed his head in with a bench! "

"Yan Gong, is this useful? It's already flooded."

Someone suddenly spoke behind him, and Han Yu noticed that there was a middle-aged man with unshaven beard in the cotton field under the embankment. There was a broken bamboo bed next to him. He knew at a glance that he was a security guard. He would stay here during the day and sleep at night. Here, I was covered in mosquito bites and ulcers all over my body.

Han Yu quickly asked Dongdong to go to the car to get a bottle of water, and asked: "Comrade, your body is full of ulcers, why don't you go to the hospital and prescribe some medicine?"

The middle-aged man climbed up the embankment and said helplessly in Mandarin with a local accent: "No one will replace me, I dare not leave my post!"

Yan Gong quickly introduced: "Secretary Han, this is President Wu of the Agricultural Bank of our county. President Wu, this is Battalion Commander Han of the Linghai Reserve Battalion who helped us protect the breach of the main embankment in Yangliu Village."

"Hello, Commander Han, Commander Han, thank you. If you hadn't blocked the opening at the critical moment, our area would have been flooded."

"President Wu, why did you come to guard the embankment yourself?"

"I even ate in person. You should have heard about the situation here. The embankment is so long that we have to fight floods in the southeast and northwest. Mengxi embankment is flooded again, and there are not enough party members and cadres. Let me guard the embankment because my superiors asked me to do so. of care.”

Afraid that Han Yu wouldn't believe it, President Wu took the water from Dongdong's hand, thought about it and smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, I will join the commando team to carry sandbags. At my age, my body and bones can't bear it."

Yan Gong put down the mineral water bottle and whispered: "Secretary Han, all the cadres in our county are on the embankment. President Wu is in charge of this side, and Director Wang of the Archives Bureau is in charge of the front."

Cadres taking the lead is really not a slogan here.

Han Yu followed Yan Gong and walked about three hundred meters forward. As expected, he saw a middle-aged man sleeping on the embankment slope. The long-term sleeping in the open made the middle-aged man look sickly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up at Han Yu and asked half-seriously: "Yan Gong, the sky is big and the earth is big, you are the biggest when fighting floods. I have a question to ask you, what will be the consequences if I resign now?" ?”

Yan Gong was stunned and said half-jokingly: "Wang Bureau, if you really resign, I will tie you up first and tie you to the tree in front. If you break, you can't even think about running away."

"Isn't it okay if I don't do it?"

"No!" Yan Gong took a deep breath and said very seriously: "If you stick here, if there is danger, I will rush over as soon as possible and organize rescue with you. If you die, I will be the first, and I will definitely not be there for you." later."

Han Yu clearly saw tears rolling down Yan Gong's red and swollen eyes as he spoke.

Dongdong was shocked. She couldn't believe that a bank president and a director were actually guarding the embankment here. They had been guarding the embankment for more than a month. During this period, they had never returned home, and they didn't even know when they would be able to go home.

They ate and slept in the open, acting like two savages...

Dongdong felt sour and hurriedly ran back to the car, opened the door and took out a bottle of water, then rushed over and handed it to Director Wang.
