Riverside Police.

Chapter 128
On the river, Captain Wang drove the small 001 (Binjiang Police Patrol 001) that had just entered the ranks, and Master Zhou drove 002, carrying Lao Zhang, Lao Liu, a policeman from the Bailonggang Police Station, Jin Da, Han Xiangning, and Chen Zikun from the Third Brigade of Hong Kong Patrol, etc. The police shouted to drive away the people who were fishing for eel fry in the channel of the Bailong Harbor ship lock.

In the meeting room on the second floor of the pontoon, Xu Sanye is presiding over the first meeting of heads of various units along the river since the pontoon was commissioned.

Since the day before yesterday, the eel hunting battle has intensified, gradually engulfing the nearby waterways and anchorages.

Yesterday evening, the big 001 was dispatched to patrol, and the radar was turned on to scan. The bright spots on the monitor were densely packed, and the eel fishing boats, large and small, were scattered all over the place.

Due to the lack of water depth in the Yangtze River Estuary, large ships have to enter the port by tide.

And eel fry also have the characteristic of entering the port on the tide, so when the tide rises every day, there will be scenes of sailing boats and seedling boats fighting each other and dangerous "speed of life and death". Bailonggang Passenger Terminal and Bailonggang The lock management office was in a state of emergency.

However, Xu Sanye is not studying the intensifying eel hunting battle, but asked Director Yu, the person in charge of Bailong Port Passenger Terminal, to report the fire accident that occurred in the upper waters of Hanwu not long ago.

"The fire broke out at 62008:7000 p.m. on the night of January 28. The fire was carried out by the Yangtze River No. [-] pusher fleet of Jiangcheng Oil Transport Company. The fleet has three barges, carrying more than [-] and [-] tons of crude oil. Last year On December [-], we departed from Yizhen in our Jiangnan Province and drove to the Nanhu Gaoguanling Oil Refinery in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River."

Director Yu of the Bailonggang Passenger Terminal brought a map of the water area and pointed to it: "The accident happened in the upper reaches of Hanwu, only 81 kilometers away from the busiest Minsheng Road wharf in Hanwu, and not far from the Hanwu Yangtze River Bridge. Far."

"The first to receive the call for help was the Yangtze River Shipping Company. According to regulations, the firefighting department should be responsible for the firefighting of water fires. However, the Yangtze River Shipping Company, which has thousands of ships and billions in fixed assets, does not have a fireboat!"

"The call for help was made from the Yangtze River Company to the Hanwu Port Authority, but the Port Authority has only one [-]-horsepower towing and extinguishing ship, and it is under maintenance. The call for help is directed to the Hanwu Petrochemical Plant, and to the Nanhu Changling Oil Refinery The factory, both parties said that fire boats will be dispatched to the scene for rescue.”

"At the same time, the call for help reached the fire brigade of the Hanwu Public Security Bureau. The fire brigade also just received a rescue dispatch order from the command center of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and quickly mobilized two fire squadrons, Yanghan and Yukou, with foam fire trucks and hand pumps. and related equipment, rushed to the river embankment at the scene of the accident at [-] o'clock in the morning."

"But the boat was burning in the middle of the river, and the foam gun on the fire truck had a range of only 60-[-] meters. Only a car ferry could get close to the fire boat. But where did they go to find a car ferry? The two fire trucks became two landlubbers, and heroes were useless. land."

"But they didn't want to watch the ship burn like this, let alone watch the burning oil tanker drift out of control towards Hanwu, so 21 commanders and fighters decided to abandon their vehicles and take the boat, and put the fire-fighting equipment on a cement paddle boat to get close to the burning oil tanker. For the barge, use the hand pump to spray water first to reduce the temperature of the barge body and delay the possible explosion.

"At the same time, the leader of the Nanhan Public Security Bureau led people to search for dry foam powder nearby, and responded quickly, hoping to use foam to extinguish the fire after finding it."

"Barge No. 63023, which was stranded upstream, burned the most. The oil fire erupting from the cabin had surrounded the hull, and from time to time, flames of tens of meters high shot straight into the clouds, like a volcanic eruption. Fire and smoke poured out, and there was a constant booming noise, and it was impossible to save."

"They conducted reconnaissance on the drifting barge No. 63040, and found that the flames on this ship were only burning at the bow, and the fire head was not high. They even risked their lives by driving the cement boat to get close to the oil barge, touching the barge with their hands, The hull was found to be not very hot."

"They decided to board the ship and fight. The cadres went first, boarded the burning oil barge first, and led the fire fighters to spray water jets with water cannons, clinging to the deck, inch by inch, step by step."

Sprinkling cold water directly on an open flame will explode!

Stationmaster Qian of the gas station was terrified when he heard this, and Xu Sanye's forehead was bulging with veins, and he clenched his fists tightly and said nothing.

A major fire broke out in the waters of Hanwu, and a major fire safety inspection must be carried out along the entire Yangtze River.

Yu Xiucai is the director of the Water Public Security Bureau. Next, he will inspect the Binjiang Port Authority and other units with the Harbor Supervision Bureau. Before the inspection, he must not be ignorant of the accident and is busy making records.

"The cadres know that pouring cold water directly on the open flame may cause a terrible explosion. When the flames are approaching, the cadres take the water gun from the soldiers and shoot in a fan, making the soldiers lean back... The water dragon is extending, and the position is expanding. , The extinguishing work went smoothly."

Director Yu looked at the notification materials of the Port Authority, took a few deep breaths, and said solemnly: "At 57:[-], just as the firefighters were advancing in victory, there was a 'squeak' sound from behind, and the deck under their feet Started shaking.

They had a premonition that danger was imminent, and when they looked back, a ball of flames burst out from the right rear compartment of the oil barge.The cadre covered the oncoming oil fire with his hands and gave the order to evacuate, but he didn't say the word 'li', and there was a loud 'bang', and the two oil tanks on the right and rear of the oil barge exploded.

Suddenly the flames shot up into the sky, and the fire fighters who boarded the ship were blown up by the scorching air waves at the moment of the explosion, some fell into the river, some fell on the oil barge, and some whereabouts are unknown..."

Because of outdated equipment and insufficient professional training, eight fire officers and soldiers were sacrificed. Those are eight young lives!
Tears rolled in Xu Sanye's eyes, and Sister Zhu couldn't help crying even more.

"The fire burned for more than 150 hours from the night of January [-]nd to January [-]th. During this period, in order to ensure that the burning oil barge would not float to the downstream critical wharf or even the Yangtze River Bridge, Hanwu formulated two A set of tactical measures."

"One is that the two sections of the general adjustment of the Yangtze River ship have no one on standby at the Shuihongkou. As soon as the oil barge shows signs of drifting, it will go forward and push it to the shoal on the south bank for positioning. Second, if the pushing fails, the large barge downstream of the Shuihongkou Zuijiang, use artillery to sink the oil barge!"

Director Yu couldn't keep reporting, let alone imagine what would happen if the fire broke out in the waters of Bailong Harbor.

Xu Sanye regained his composure, turned around and asked, "Director Zhu, you are the competent department of water transportation and water fire protection, please say a few words first."

Sister Zhu quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said with a choked voice: "After receiving the notification from the superior, the leaders of our bureau held an emergency meeting and asked all port supervision stations and law enforcement teams to carry out a large-scale inspection of water fire safety. The unit purchases fire-fighting equipment to make up for this shortcoming."

"It's specific to our Bailong Port."

"Our logistics department has learned that the fire water cannons on the Big 001 can be modified."

"How to modify?"

"It is converted into water and foam dual-use. Director Yu, Station Manager Qian, and Director Liu, it is unrealistic for you to go on the fire boat. There is no need to go on the fire boat with Big 001 for the time being, but it is necessary to put out oil fires and chemical fires. Can the three of you share the required foam and buy more."

"no problem."

"The lesson from the past is here. We have to learn from it. Our ship lock management has no objection."

"Xu Suo, Director Zhu, I...I need to report to my superior first."

"Okay, but as soon as possible."

Xu Sanye took over the quarrel, turned around and asked, "Yu Ju, tell me too."

Yu Xiucai quickly put down the pen and paper, raised his head and said, "Comrades, regarding firefighting, equipment is indeed very important, but professional training is equally important. It hurts to think about the sacrifice of eight firefighters.

We must learn this bloody lesson and be responsible for our police officers, employees and joint defense team members.I suggest that after the new year, fire experts should be invited to give a good lecture and conduct a professional fire service training. "

Cadres who take the lead are worthy of praise, but cadres must not understand business.

Xu Sanye felt that Yu Xiucai's proposal was very reasonable, and asked, "Where can I find fire experts? I don't think there are any in Binjiang. The professional level of the Binjiang Fire Brigade may not be higher than ours."

"I'll figure it out. If the province can't get it, go to Donghai, and if Donghai can't get it, go to the capital!"

"Okay, this matter will trouble you."

Xu Sanye nodded slightly, and started the second agenda of the meeting, asking Sister Zhu to report on the eel fry fishing battle in front of her.

Compared with fire protection, this is the most urgent problem.

Sister Zhu settled down, flipped through her notebook and said with a wry smile: "In previous years, there were also people who came down to catch eel fry on the river driven by profit, but this year there are more people and boats fishing for eel fry than in previous years.

According to the statistics of Brother Law Enforcement Brigade and the Harbor Supervision Station, as of yesterday afternoon, tens of thousands of eel fishing boats, large and small, gathered in the waters from Jiangyin to Binjiang and then to Xujiajing. "

Xu Sanye couldn't believe there were so many, and murmured, "A million troops crossed the Yangtze River."

"Xu Suo, we are driving here every day. Many people are tired of being driven away and go upstream, so there are not many people standing on the barge. If you go to Binjiang Port, you will know that the river is full of fishing eels. Miao's boat."

"Affected the navigation?"

"Well, it's serious."

"How serious."

"I called before the meeting to ask that the three passenger ships at the Binjiang Port Passenger Terminal have been delayed for six hours, and it is estimated that they will not set sail at this moment."

Ms. Zhu looked at her notebook and said, "On the afternoon of the 24th, the "Sengong No. 22" wooden trailer of the Hui'an Timber Company collided with the Yangtze River 21004 push wheel and disintegrated because it could not avoid the eel fishing boat, and a large amount of timber was lost. The economic loss was more than 7 yuan."

"On the night of the 25th, more than 1000 buoys in the waters from Binjiang to Jiangyin were artificially destroyed by eel fishing boats. They fished out the empty zinc batteries and flashlights of the buoys for lighting at night, causing economic losses of tens of thousands of yuan and seriously affecting navigation safety. .”

"On February 2, when the 1 fleet of Hanwu Yangtze River Transportation Company sailed to our anchorage No. 81012 in Binjiang, it was blocked by eel fishing boats. They blew their horns to remind them to avoid, and more than 26 people who illegally fished eel fry flocked. They snatched oil barrels, cables, and all the daily necessities of the fleet, and beat a few sailors who blocked them."

……

The channel of the Tiansheng Port lock is full of eel fishing boats, and the lock has already dared not release ships.

The coal at the Tiansheng Port Power Plant is only enough for a few days, and the coal fleet is blocked at the anchorage and cannot move.

Passenger ships at Binjiang Port Passenger Terminal are late every day.

Collisions happen several times a day.

The tail of the Yangtze River is in chaos, and the golden channel is blocked...

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Xu Sanye frowned and asked, "Have the leaders of your bureau taken any measures?"

"We dispatched all the surveillance boats we could, but we couldn't do anything other than yell and drive them away. The city told us to go to the Yangtze River Port Supervision Bureau, and the Changjiang Port Supervision Bureau told us to go to the city, or let us go to the fishery administration, but the fishery administration Still came to us, and now I don’t know who is in charge of this matter.”

Director Yu of Bailonggang murmured, "Maybe everyone is busy celebrating the New Year and doesn't care about the affairs of the river."

Sister Zhu said helplessly: "Besides, the river is not on the shore. All the leaders have seen it these days. You are blocking people's money, and they are fighting you desperately. If we are tough, those people really jump into the river and die. manage."

"But you can't sit idly by!"

As the person in charge of Bailong Port Passenger Terminal, Director Yu was more anxious than anyone else. He knocked on the table and said, "The passenger ship is late, and the passengers are scolding us. Besides, Bailong Port is not Binjiang Port. There are only three small hotels here.

Tickets have been sold out long ago. If the passenger ship stops sailing due to channel congestion, where will tens of thousands of passengers stay in Bailong Port?In such a cold day, do you let people sleep on the street! "

Xu Sanye always thought that no one would dare not listen when he announced his name and yelled.

But after three days of guerrilla warfare, I found that my name didn't work for people who wanted money and life.

And many boats fishing for eel fry come from other places. People have never heard of him, so they don't know who it is.

What's even more frustrating is that some of the vessels illegally fishing for eel fry come from out-of-town fishery companies, some from out-of-town township enterprises, and some from out-of-town eel breeding units.

In other people's words, what kind of licensed fishing does the fishery government allow, only their own fishery companies are allowed to fish, and the Yangtze River is not owned by the fishery government alone, so why not allow others to fish.

Or simply ban fishing, and everyone will not catch eel fry.

For the first time, Xu Sanye felt helpless due to the huge economic interests and departmental interests.

Seeing Director Yu looking at him expectantly, he weighed it up and said resolutely: "There are too many illegal fishing boats, we have no right to control them, and we can't manage them with these few people, but we must ensure passenger transportation no matter what. Work properly.

Passenger ships cannot be delayed, let alone suspended, and passengers cannot be stranded.There is enough chaos on the river, and there can be no more chaos on the shore. "

"Xu Suo, how do you make sure?"

"Anyway, the departure time of the ticket check has been messed up. After you go back, communicate with the person in charge of the steamship company to see if you can adjust the entry and exit time according to the ebb and flow of the tide, and organize Bai Shen, Bai Wu, Bai Yan and Bai Liu to set sail at the same time. .”

Xu Sanye paused, and then said: "Although the North Branch Channel is narrow, the wind and waves are not strong. We can organize large 001, 002 and small 001 escorts at that time.

When the passenger ship formation enters the main channel, the river is wider and it is relatively easy to avoid, so 002 and small 001 are allowed to return, and large 001 continues to escort. "

"Xu Suo, there are also many eel fishing boats at Liuhe Port," Sister Zhu reminded.

"Director Zhu, you are in charge of communicating and coordinating with Liuhe on this matter. Chinese New Year is just around the corner. No one wants to go home, and they also don't want tens of thousands of tourists to stay with them."

"Let them ask the police over there for assistance and dispatch law enforcement boats to respond?"

"Well, let's escort the fleet of passenger ships to the waters of Liuhekou, and continue to escort Qingshen, Qingji, and Qingwu when the support boat from Liuhe arrives."

This determination is big enough!
Director Yu thought this was a solution, and turned to look at Zhang Junyan, who had been silent all the time: "Suo Zhang, can you ask the Changhang Public Security Bureau to communicate and coordinate with the Donghai Shipping Public Security Bureau, and ask the Donghai Shipping Public Security Bureau to also cooperate with the port supervisor to dispatch law enforcement boats?" Accept."

Zhang Junyan hurriedly said: "Okay, I will contact you when I get back."

Xu Sanye nodded in satisfaction, and said with a final word: "Director Zhu, Director Yu, and Lao Zhang, let's split up and make preparations, and strive to start armed escort from tonight.

If someone dares to block the waterway again, I won't be polite to them. If one catches one, control it first! "

If the passenger ship is five hours late, there will be five or six thousand more passengers in Bailong Port.

If the passenger ship stops sailing, Bailong Port will be overcrowded, the waiting room will be overcrowded, and there may be a big accident.

Li Weiguo felt that this was the only way in front of him, so he raised his head and said, "Xu Suo, we either don't provide an escort, or if we need an escort, we will not only send the passenger ship away, but also bring the passenger ship back, Captain Wang alone can't bear it.

"After lunch, ask Ma Jintao to bring back the salted fish."

Xu Sanye looked at his watch and said with a stern face: "Since Jiang Shang can't control it now, let's ignore it for now and inform Jin Da, Captain Wang, Master Zhou and Chen Zikun to come back and rest quickly, and join the escort at night."

"Are they all in 001?"

"Lao Li, you and Lao Zhang go to 002 and Xiao 001 at night. Lao Zhang, you Bailonggang police station also go to 002 and Xiao 001. I will take Chen Zikun and the others to go to Big 001. They will enforce the law on the river in the future. This is also a The opportunity for training, I want to see if they get seasick."

"Yes!"

"By the way, Lao Li, you are an old pre-trial officer. Study the laws and regulations carefully. I don't believe that our public security organs can't deal with things that cost money or life!"
