Excellent little farmer

"Is the danger of Mishan Reservoir serious?"

I asked directly, if the Mishan Reservoir dam breaks, it is very likely to impact the embankment facilities on both sides of the Yuexiu River. This short-term explosive impact is likely to cause problems with the embankments in some areas.

"Commander Li didn't say anything on the phone. He only said that he wanted me to prepare my forces quickly. He also made an emergency report to the Provincial Military Region. It is estimated that the Municipal Party Committee also made a report to the Provincial Party Committee."

Xie Youzhi's face turned pale, he shook his head and said: "Secretary Ye, fortunately we made preparations one day in advance, otherwise..."

"Lao Xie, I'm afraid we can't draw out the power here. Please tell Commander Li that if the Mishan Reservoir cannot be saved, the one that will be most affected besides Canghua is our Xijiang District. So not only can we not draw out, but we also have to reinforce us. We here Emergency mobilization is also required!" I shook my head, because I was extremely nervous, and the knuckles of my palms that pressed hard on the table turned a little white.

Liu Yonggui, who walked in right after Xie Youzhi, continued: "Secretary Ye, if the Mishan Reservoir cannot be saved, then the local facilities on both sides of the Xiushui River below the Mishan Reservoir will be quite dangerous, not to mention the Canghua side, which is our Xijiang River. There is a question mark as to whether the embankment facilities within the territory can withstand the test. Now we must mobilize everyone immediately and prepare for the worst!"

Hearing what Liu Yonggui, who has always been calm and conservative, said, I know that the situation has probably reached its most serious and worst level. The Mishan Reservoir has poor flood discharge capacity, and years of silt blockage have reduced the storage capacity. Once the flood comes too violently, the reservoir cannot discharge. , it is very likely that the reservoir will collapse and the embankment will collapse. By that time, except for the Canghua section below, the Dongjiang District on the south bank and the Xijiang District on the north bank will all face the test of floods.

After Wu Guoqun put down the phone number of the provincial defense chief, he received a call from Deputy Governor Kang Renliang. The content was the same: the flood situation was unprecedentedly serious.

Binzhou, Huai'an, Tangjiang, and Lanshan were hit by heavy rains. Among them, Huai'an suffered the heaviest rainfall on record. The rainfall reached 620 millimeters within 48 hours, triggering mudslides. Among them, Canghua County, Huai'an City Three people have been confirmed dead, 18 others are missing, and more than a dozen families are trapped in the mountains and have no contact with the outside world.

The most serious thing is that Mishan Reservoir has been hit by flash floods continuously, and cracks have appeared in the reservoir dam. Once the reservoir bursts, it may affect the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people in one county and two districts downstream. The situation is quite critical.

"The problem is so serious. Why didn't Huai'an City report yesterday? It will worsen to this extent overnight. What are the Huai'an Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government doing?"

Wu Guoqun couldn't help but hold his breath. He realized that the person facing him was not the Huai'an Municipal Party Committee Secretary or Mayor, but his deputy. He tried hard to suppress his inner anger and lowered his voice: "Have you reported to Secretary Hao?"

"It has been reported to Secretary Hao. Huai'an, Huang Ling and Shu Zhigao have all rushed to Canghua County to take command. They have contacted the local garrison and reported to the Yangcheng Military Region through the Provincial Military Region, requesting reinforcements from the local garrison. Huai'an City Emergency mobilization has also been carried out, and all local reserve militia units have been mobilized to rush to the front line for emergency rescue and disaster relief."

Kang Renliang's voice on the other side of the phone was also very low. He had just taken up the position of provincial and ministerial cadre leader and encountered such a thing. Everyone was a little nervous, especially in the face of such a natural disaster. Personal power can even be said to be human power. They all seem quite small. No one can predict what will happen in the next moment under such severe and extreme weather. And if it does lead to a big disaster, no one knows what the result will be.

"Yes! We require Huai'an to make every effort to rescue and rescue the trapped people at all costs!"

Wu Guoqun had already stood up and said: "I'll go to Huai'an right away! Renliang, please inform the General Office and the Provincial Party Committee. I'm afraid this matter will have to be reported to the Central Committee and the State Council immediately! In addition, for the garrison, I will immediately contact the Provincial Military Region Contact them over there and ask them to request support from the Yangcheng Military Region. By the way, how many troops are stationed in Huai'an?"

"There is an engineering regiment. It is estimated that the Provincial Military Region has asked the Yangcheng Military Region for instructions, and there should be a response soon."

When Kang Renliang heard that Wu Guoqun was going to Huai'an, he hurriedly said: "Governor Guoqun, I think I should go to Huai'an too. The situation in Binzhou and Lanshan is relatively good. I guess the Tangjiang problem is a little more serious, but now it is the most important thing." The most dangerous one is Huai'an. The Mishan Reservoir is an old reservoir from the 1950s. It has a small storage capacity and poor flood discharge capacity, and the reservoir is probably not in good condition. I'm worried that if there is a problem with the Mishan Reservoir, it will..."

Wu Guoqun pondered for a moment. He originally didn't want Kang Renliang to go to Huai'an, and the situation in Tangjiang was not optimistic. But when Kang Renliang mentioned this, he didn't have much to say. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can take care of your family." Things are arranged and we will pay close attention to Tang Jiang. Secretary Hao and I will say hello and we will set off for Huai'an immediately."

Huang Ling stood in front of the window of the Mishan Reservoir Management Office office with a gloomy face. Outside the window, there were bright lights and a lot of people. The engineering corps stationed in Ning had rushed to the reservoir site to start rescue operations.

However, the problem of the Mishan Reservoir dam is quite serious, and the water inflow from the upstream continues to increase. The spillway has been opened to the maximum, but the water level in the dam is still rising slowly. The weather forecast is that there will be a thunderstorm tonight. Huang Ling has a premonition that, This old dam can only hold on until tomorrow morning.

I originally thought that the situation in Fengting was bad enough, but I didn't expect that the situation in Canghua was even worse. This Mishan Reservoir has almost become a time bomb stuck in the Yuexiu River. Once the dam collapses, the surging water will pour down directly. Then, thinking about the anxious and uneasy expressions of the Canghua County Party Committee Secretary and County Magistrate in front of him just now, Huang Ling could conclude that they themselves were not at all sure about the embankment conditions on both sides of the Yuexiu River.

The office was pushed open with a shout, and a People's Liberation Army officer and Director of the Water Conservancy Bureau Wang Daolu broke in and shouted: "Secretary Huang, Commander Li!"

"How?" Li Yuanqing's face was so serious that he had almost no expression.

"It's very bad. The banks on both sides of the dam have collapsed. The dam body is soaked. There are also cracks in some parts. If the water level continues to increase, I think it will be difficult to save the reservoir."

The Colonel of the People's Liberation Army, who spoke with a northern accent, was unceremonious and said urgently: "Now we should consider the dangers that may be faced downstream once the dike collapses."

"Captain Fang, is there no hope?" Li Yuanqing gritted his teeth. People on both sides of the river downstream were undergoing emergency evacuation, but it was too difficult for you to complete the evacuation in such a short period of time.

The PLA officer shook his head speechlessly, then raised his gaze and said loudly: "We are doing our best, but I need to remind everyone that we may have to be mentally prepared for the worst, and the downstream transfer and evacuation must be completed as quickly as possible! "

"Captain Fang, thank you for your support. All our cadres and party members have been fully engaged in the evacuation work, but we need time. Please do your best to buy us more time no matter what."

Huang Ling only felt that his mouth was a little bitter. This was only when he was extremely nervous. Over the past few decades, this situation seemed to occur only a handful of times, probably only two or three times.

The officer didn't have any extra words to say. He only saluted and turned away.

Huang Ling took a deep breath and said, "Lao Wang, how is the condition of the dam itself?"

"Captain Fang is right. It is already very dangerous. The occurrence of falling holes means that there is something wrong inside the dam. If you are not careful, the dam may collapse directly."

Wang Daolu seemed to have aged ten years. After two consecutive days and two nights of tossing, a man of his age was really exhausted. However, at this time, he did not dare to be negligent and said: "Just now, someone appeared two hundred meters away from the embankment. A large area of ​​shore collapsed, which is quite dangerous."

Huang Ling frowned and was about to say more when the phone rang. He picked up the phone and hurriedly said: "Governor Kang, hello, ah! I'm at the Mishan Reservoir site. The situation is very bad. Cracks have appeared in the reservoir dam. According to the rescue personnel, it is very difficult to save, especially as there may be another thunderstorm in the middle of the night. Hmm! Are you and Governor Guoqun here? Okay, the downstream transfer is already in progress, and we need to buy time now , yes, mainly time,"

No one expected that the embankment would collapse so quickly. Just over an hour after the heavy rain fell, the middle section of the reservoir, which had no warning, slowly collapsed like a ground subsidence. Fortunately, the collapse speed was quite slow, and the surrounding people were working intensively. People had time to evacuate to both sides. Five minutes later, the collapse finally evolved into a large-scale embankment breach. The entire Mishan Reservoir was like an extremely old and decaying old house. Witnessed by the lightning that cut through the night sky, it completed its 40-year history.

The rescue workers immediately withdrew to the high points on both sides of the embankment. The flood rolled over, completely destroying the entire embankment, and roared downstream.

I received a call three minutes later that the Mishan Reservoir had burst.

Half an hour later, a piping scene appeared in the Canghua section of the Yuexiu River. The rescue team immediately followed up. However, many dams were in danger at the same time. In the end, two dams on the north and south banks broke. Then it turned into a crazy dragon, roaring and running out along the wounds it bit open...
