Riverside police

Xu Sanye did what he said and made his own home.

His son went to college in Jiangcheng, and his lover, Sister Wei, was lonely in the county town. She simply moved her luggage and bedding to the dormitory and rode a bicycle to and from get off work every day.

The hard days of Han Yu and Liang Xiaoyu really began. They started training at five o'clock every morning before dawn.

Not just running away, but fully armed.

Wearing a steel helmet and a canvas magazine bag strapped to the chest, with two magazines inserted in the magazine bag, not only had to carry a five-six-pound gun, but also a water bottle, which was really heavy.

Xu Sanye led by example and hung an extra telescope around his neck, leading them to "inspect the territory" like a lion king.

The coastline patrol begins with the upstream patrol of Bailong Port.

On the first day, I ran three kilometers southwest along the river embankment. On the second day, I drove the three-wheeled bicycle there. I parked the three-wheeled bicycle at the place where I patrolled on the first day. I continued to run three kilometers southwest, and then I ran back and drove the three-wheeled bicycle. In the place.

Just keep going west and "explore" slowly.

When you return to the institute, you are exhausted. You can take a shower, put on a clean uniform, and after breakfast, you have to start the water security inspection again.

The time schedule is very tight. This day is really "fulfilling". The militia training is not so tiring. At night, I gritted my teeth and did a hundred push-ups. After lying down, my back was sore and I didn't want to move at all...

But the food is much better than during militia training. There is meat every day at noon and evening!

After a week of "inspection", today we have visited the Sanhe Township South Brigade.

Further ahead is the Hubin River, which is wider than the Bailong River. The water surface entering the river is several hundred meters long. If you want to go to the opposite side, you have to go around the gate on the north side.

This is no longer the northern branch of the Yangtze River, but the main channel.

Five or six miles to the southeast is the westernmost landmass of Taoming Island, which divides the Yangtze River into two.

Looking due south, it feels like the river is as wide as the sea, and you can't see the other side at all.

Hundreds of boats competed on the river, with ships ranging from hundreds of thousands of tons to several tons coming and going, creating a prosperous scene.

But as someone who grew up on a ship and studied water transport management, Han Yu knew very well that there were always dangers lurking behind this prosperous scene.

You want to go east, I want to go west, he wants to cross from south to north or from north to south. All kinds of ships compete to sail and cross. If there is a slight mistake, the tragedy of collision or shipwreck may occur.

Liang Xiaoyu has been living in the lower reaches of Bailong Port. He often sees passenger ships and cargo ships of several hundred tons. He has never seen a giant ship with tens of thousands of tons. He was shocked by the giant ship blowing the whistle on the river. He looked at it stupidly and forgot about it. Legs hurt.

The river is broad, and Xu Sanye's mind is also broadened.

He held up his binoculars, looked at the various ships sailing on the river, and murmured: "This is the Yangtze River. Compared with here, Bailong Port is just a ditch. Our riverside base should be located here!" "

Liang Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask: "Xu Suo, is this place under our control?"

"Of course it's under our control, and everything more than ten kilometers to the west is under our control!"

Xu Sanye made a splash.

Han Yu looked back at the surroundings and whispered: "There is nothing around, not even a few people can be seen."

"It's inconvenient to set up the base here, but we can't always stay in Bailong Port."

Xu Sanye adjusted the focus, looked at a giant ship, and asked curiously: "Xianyu, why are there so many colorful flags hanging on that big white cargo ship."

"That's a semaphore, similar to Morse code, for signaling."

"How to send it."

"There are five specifications of signal flags, divided into No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5. No. 1 is the largest and No. 5 is the smallest. There are forty-six signal flags in a set.

There are twenty-six letter flags, ten number flags, four direction flags, three substitute flags, one execution flag, one commitment flag and one international commitment flag. "

Han Yu thought for a while and then said: "The number flags are all triangular flags, the letter flags are square flags and swallow-tail flags, and the commitment flags and international commitment flags are trapezoidal flags. Which flags to hang and in what order represent different meanings. "

Xu Sanye didn't expect that flags were so particular. He took off the telescope and handed it to Han Yu, pointing to the river.

"Xianyu, look at what flags are hanging on that big white ship and what signals it sends."

Han Yu took the telescope, looked at it carefully, and said: "They are transporting dangerous goods, possibly chemicals, remind other ships to keep their distance. The pilot is on the ship, and they will adjust the course to the port side soon."

"It's interesting to be able to send out so many signals by hanging just a few flags. Let's make a set of flags when we go back."

"Xu Suo, our ship is too small and the mast is not high enough to hang it up."

"Then raise the mast and make the flag smaller."

"All right."

Xu Sanye took the telescope, looked at it and asked, "What lights do those ships turn on in broad daylight?"

Han Yu rubbed his legs and explained: "Lights are also signals. All ships must display lights and models regardless of whether they are sailing or anchored at the anchorage, and regardless of the weather."

Xu Sanye asked: "What is the signal type?"

Han Yu didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he simply made an analogy: "It's just using lights to tell other boats how long your own boat is.

When moving through the water, the left, red, right and green side lights, front and rear mast lights and stern lights should be displayed. Show the mizzen light when not moving through water.

When anchoring, an anchor ball should be hung on the bow of the ship during the day, and the anchor lights in front and behind the ship should be turned on at night, as well as the lights on the deck.

If it is stranded, three black balls should be hung on the mainmast during the day, two all-round red lights should be displayed on the mainmast at night, and an anchor light should be hung on the bow. "

Xu Sanye didn't expect that there were so many doorways and asked, "What if the ship loses control."

"Hang two black balls on the main mast during the day, and display two all-round red lights vertically on the main mast at night. The left and right side lights and stern lights should also be turned on."

"Do we have a signal light on our 001? Have we prepared a few balls?"

"Yes, not only 001, but also on the barge. After it is towed to the river, we will send out light signals to remind passing ships not to hit us."

The person Liang Xiaoyu admired the most was not Xu Sanye, but Han Yu. He couldn't help but say: "You know so much about dried salted fish."

He doesn't speak Mandarin very well, and can only speak not very standard Saudi dialect. Brother Xianyu turns into dried salted fish in his mouth.

Han Yu was so confused that he couldn't laugh or cry. He turned around and said, "I'm more than a month older than you. Just call me Han Yu. Don't call me Xianyugan again!"

Xu Sanye laughed and said: "The dried salted fish is very good. Let me show you some later."

"Xu Suo..."

"You are more than a month older. You are Xiaoyu's brother."

Xu Sanye tightened his gun belt, turned around and said: "Go back and sort out the signal knowledge I just mentioned, and talk to us in the evening. As long as we can understand the signals, we can know the navigation conditions of the ships on the river even on the shore. This matter Things matter.”

"yes."

"Go back. I heard that a reporter will come to interview today, and they may have to take some photos. Stay refreshed when you go back!"

I still need to take photos. Fortunately, my eyes are swollen, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to see people.

Han Yuzheng was secretly sighing when he suddenly discovered that there was a cargo ship sailing on the river that was not quite right.

"Xu Suo, use the telescope to look at that ship!"

"Which one?

"there."

Han Yu raised his arm and pointed at the river.

Xu Sanye raised the telescope, followed the direction of his finger, and slowly adjusted the focus. He suddenly found a cement boat that seemed to be drifting with the current, and he frowned immediately.

"There's no one on the bow, and there doesn't seem to be anyone in the awning at the stern either!"

"Xu Suo, let me take a look."

"Hurry up and see what's going on."

Han Yu took the telescope, observed it carefully for a while, and said solemnly: "The ship is out of control. It has no ball and no signal signal. It may have broken anchor!"

Xu Sanye asked eagerly: "What should we do now?"

"Contact the harbor supervisor and ask them to remind other ships to keep out of the way."

"The harbor supervisor is in Binjiang. The day lilies will be cold by the time they arrive!"

Xu Sanye didn't want to wait for the port supervisor, so he immediately pulled out the walkie-talkie inserted in the magazine bag and tuned to the communication frequency of the Bailong Port Ship Lock Management Office, which is relatively close to here:

"General call, general call, I am Xu Sanye of the Yanjiang Police Station. Please answer when you receive it."

"Received, received, Xu Suo, please speak."

"There is a cement boat out of control in the waters of Sanhe Xiangchang South Brigade. There is no one on the boat. It may have broken anchor and is drifting towards us with the current. I am on the riverside. I am too far away to call the station. Please contact us immediately. Instructor and Captain Wang, ask them to heat up the boat and prepare for rescue!"

"Got it, I'll contact you right away."

"Wait a minute, please notify the Bailong Port dispatching office at the same time, and notify other ships passing through the lock to pay attention to avoid it."

"clear."

"Tell our instructor and Captain Wang that I can be back at the institute in twenty minutes at most."

"Okay, I'll tell you right away."

"One more thing. 001 will set sail in twenty-five minutes. It's urgent. Please arrange for us to pass through the gate."

"Don't worry, Xu Suo, I'll make arrangements right away."

…

At the same time, Li Weiguo was receiving Reporter Wang who was personally accompanied by Ding Jiao.

I used to think that reporter Wang was from Binjiang Daily, but later I found out that he was a reporter from Binjiang People's Broadcasting and Television Station, and he only published articles in Binjiang Daily.

I had just invited people into the reception room and was about to ask Lao Qian to pour tea when the phone in the office next door rang.

"Li Zhi, you go answer the phone first, I'm not in a hurry."

Reporter Wang smiled slightly and looked at the banner hanging on the wall.

Li Weiguo couldn't take it anymore and pointed to the two large cardboard boxes on the table: "Reporter Wang, I'll answer the phone first. You can read the letters from the masses."

No other police station can receive so many letters from people, and they are all letters of thanks.

Although Ding Jiao didn't like Xu Sanye, as an instructor of the Linghai Public Security Bureau, he was quite proud in front of outsiders. He turned around and said with a smile: "I'm here, you go and do your work first."

Xu Sanye's walkie-talkie can be tuned to the civilian frequency and can call the Bailonggang Ship Lock Management Office. However, the walkie-talkie of the Bailonggang Ship Lock Management Office cannot be tuned to the public security frequency and cannot call the Yanjiang Police Station. He can only make phone calls.

Li Weiguo was shocked when he received the call and hurriedly shouted: "Old Qian, go to the shipyard quickly to inform Captain Wang and Baogen that there is danger on the river and ask them to heat up the ship!"

"OK."

"Old Li, what's going on? What's the danger?" Ding Jiao came out and asked.

Li Weiguo picked up the life jacket that Zhang Lan sent yesterday afternoon, put it on his body, and said eagerly: "There is a boat on the river that is out of control and drifting towards us. If we don't rescue it quickly, it will probably hit other boats." , or it may run aground and sink the ship.”

This is a matter that the Hong Kong Supervisory Authority should take care of. Isn’t it just a matter of taking carrots and not worrying about it?

But in front of reporters, Ding Jiao couldn't say it, so he could only ask: "Where is Xu Sanye?"

"The dangerous situation was discovered when Xu took Xianyu and Xiaoyu on patrol along the river. They are rushing back. When they come back, 001 is almost warm, and they can set sail for rescue."

"How do you plan to rescue?"

"Jump over the ship, board the control, and find a way to tow the out-of-control ship to safe waters."

001 Either don't move, or you'll burn hundreds of dollars of oil!

Ding Jiaozheng didn't know what to say to him, but Reporter Wang said expectantly: "Li Zhi, can you take me with you? I want to see how you rescue."

"Yes, but you must wear a life jacket."

"OK, thanks."
