Riverside Police

Chapter 79 Out of control!
Xu Sanye did what he said, and made himself his home.

His son went to college in Jiangcheng, and his wife, Sister Wei, was lonely in the county town, so she simply moved her luggage and bedding to the office and commuted to get off work by bicycle every day.

The hard days of Han Yu and Liang Xiaoyu really started. Every morning at five o'clock, before dawn, they started training.

Not just running like that, but fully armed.

He wears a steel helmet and a canvas magazine bag tied to his chest, with two magazines inserted in the bag. Not only does he have to carry five or six punches, but he also has to carry a water bottle, which is really heavy.

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

Coastline large-scale patrol, first go to the upper reaches of Bailong Port to start patrolling.

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

Just keep going west and slowly "explore".

After returning to the office, I am exhausted and exhausted. I can take a shower, change into a clean uniform, and after breakfast, I will start the water security inspection again.

The schedule is very tight, the days are really "full", the militia training is not so tiring, at night I grit my teeth and do a hundred push-ups, and after lying down, my back hurts and I don't want to move at all...

But the food is much better than when the militiamen were training. There is meat every day at noon and night!

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

Further forward 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 in the north.

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

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

Looking towards the south, I feel that the river is as wide as the sea, and I can't see the other side at all.

There are hundreds of boats competing on the river, and various ships ranging from 10,000+ tons to several tons come and go, creating a scene of prosperity.

But as a person who grew up on a ship and learned about water transportation management, Han Yu is well aware that there are always dangers lurking behind this prosperous scene.

You want to go east, I want to go west, he has to cross from south to north or from north to south, all kinds of ships compete for sailing, and if there is a slight mistake, the tragedy of collision or stranded ship sinking may occur.

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

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

Holding up his binoculars, he looked at all kinds of ships sailing on the river and murmured: "This is the Yangtze River. Compared with this, Bailong Port is just a ditch. Our riverside base should be located here!" "

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

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

Xu Sanye spoke loudly.

Han Yu looked around and said in a low voice, "There is nothing around, and I can't even see a few people."

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

Xu Sanye adjusted the focus, looked at a huge ship, and asked curiously: "Salted fish, why are there so many colorful flags on that big white freighter?"

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

"How to send it."

"There are five types of signal flags, divided into No. 46, No. [-], No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-]. No. [-] is the largest and No. [-] is the smallest. A set of signal flags has [-] sides.

There are 26 letter flags, ten number flags, four direction flags, three generation flags, one executive flag, one promise flag and one international promise flag. "

Han Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Number flags are triangular flags, letter flags have square flags and swallowtail flags, promise flags and international promise flags are trapezoid flags. Which flags are hung and in what order are they arranged, represent different meanings. "

Xu Sanye didn't expect the flag to be so particular, so he took off the telescope and handed it to Han Yu, pointing to the river.

"Salted fish, look at what flag is flying on that big white ship and what signal it is sending."

Han Yu took the binoculars, looked carefully, and said: "They are transporting dangerous goods, possibly chemicals, and remind other ships to keep a distance. The pilot is on board, and they will immediately adjust their course to port."

"Hanging a few flags can send out so many signals, which is a bit interesting. We will also build a set of flags when we go back."

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

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

"Ok."

Xu Sanye took the binoculars, looked at them and asked, "What lights do those boats turn on in broad daylight?"

Han Yu rubbed his legs and explained: "Lights are also signals. All ships must display their lights and shapes no matter they are sailing or at anchorage, and no matter what the weather is."

Xu Sanye followed up and asked: "What is the number of lights?"

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

When moving through the water, the left red and starboard green side lights, fore and aft mast lights and stern lights are displayed.Show the mizzen light when not moving through the water.

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

If you run aground, you need to hang three black balls on the mainmast during the day, and at night, you need to display two all-round red lights on the mainmast, and you need to hang anchor lights on the bow. "

Xu Sanye didn't expect so many ways, and asked, "What if the boat gets out of control?"

"Hang two black balls on the mainmast during the day, and display two all-round red lights vertically on the mainmast at night, and turn on the starboard and stern lights as well."

"Is there a signal light on our 001, and have you prepared a few balls?"

"Yes, not only 001, but also on barges. We will send out light signals after being towed to the river to remind passing boats not to hit us."

The person Liang Xiaoyu admired the most was not Xu Sanye, but Han Yu. He couldn't help saying, "Dried salted fish, you know a lot."

He doesn't speak Mandarin very well, he only speaks the not-so-standard Sandi dialect, and Brother Xianyu turns into dried salted fish in his mouth.

Han Yu was confused, turned around and said, "I'm only a month older than you, just call me Han Yu, don't call me dried salted fish!"

Xu Sanye laughed and said, "Dried salted fish is very good, let the old money dry it later."

"Xu Suo..."

"It's more than a month old, and you are Xiaoyu's older brother."

Xu Sanye tightened his gun belt, turned around and said, "Go back and sort out the signal knowledge you just mentioned, and explain it to us in the evening. As long as we can understand the signal, we can know the sailing conditions of the ships on the river even on the shore. It's important."

"Yes."

"Go back, I heard that there are reporters coming to interview today, and they probably want to take a small photo, give me some energy after I go back!"

I still need to take pictures. Fortunately, my eyes have subsided, otherwise I would really not be able to see people.

Han Yu was feeling secretly, and suddenly found that the attitude of a cargo ship sailing on the river was not quite right.

"Xu Suo, use the binoculars to look at that boat!"

"Which one?
"there."

Han Yu raised his arm and pointed at the river.

Xu Sanye raised the binoculars, followed the direction of his finger, and slowly adjusted the focus. He suddenly found a cement boat drifting with the tide, and immediately frowned.

"There is no one at the bow, and there seems to be no one in the awning at the stern!"

"Xu Suo, let me take a look."

"Look quickly and see what's going on."

Han Yu took the binoculars, observed carefully for a while, and said solemnly: "The boat is out of control. It didn't hang the ball, and it didn't show the shape of the lights. It's probably anchored!"

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

"Contact the port supervisor and ask them to remind other ships to avoid it."

"The Harbor Supervisor is in Binjiang, the day lily will be cold by the time they come over!"

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 Bailonggang Ship Lock Management Office, which is relatively close to here:

"Chief investigator, I am Xu Sanye from the Yanjiang Police Station. Please reply."

"Received, Xu Suo please tell me."

"In the waters of the South Brigade of Sanhe Township, there is a cement boat out of control. There is no one on board. It is probably anchored and drifting towards us with the current. I am on the riverside, too far away to call the institute, please contact us immediately Instructor and Captain Wang, please heat up the boat and prepare for rescue!"

"Got it, I'll get in touch right away."

"Wait, please also inform the Bailong Port Dispatching Office and other ships passing through the lock, and pay attention to avoiding it."

"clear."

"Help me tell our instructor and Captain Wang that I can rush back to the institute in at most 10 minutes."

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

"There is one more thing. We will set sail in 00125 minutes. It is very urgent. Please arrange for us to pass through the gate."

"Xu Suo, don't worry, I'll dispatch it right away."

……

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

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

Just as I invited someone into the reception room, and was about to ask Lao Qian to pour tea, the phone in the office next door rang.

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

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

Li Weiguo couldn't care less, pointed to the two big cardboard boxes on the table: "Reporter Wang, I'll answer the phone first, you can read the letters from the masses."

Which police station can have so many letters from the masses, and all of them are letters of thanks.

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

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

Li Weiguo was taken aback when he received the call, and hurriedly shouted: "Old Qian, hurry to the shipyard and inform Captain Wang and Baogen that there is danger on the river, let them warm up the boat!"

"Ok."

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

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

This is something that the Hong Kong Superintendent should take care of. Isn't this just eating carrots and worrying about it?

But in front of the reporter, Ding Jiao couldn't say it, he could only ask, "Where's Xu Sanye?"

"The dangerous situation was discovered by Xu's Xianyu and Xiaoyu when they were patrolling the riverside. They are rushing back. When they come back, 001 is almost warmed up, and they can set sail for rescue."

"How are you going to rescue?"

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

001 or don't move, at least if you move, you will burn hundreds of dollars of gas!

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

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

"OK, thanks."
