Riverside police

The original traffic control building of the Maritime Safety Administration was demolished by blasting two months ago, and the current traffic control center is located at the Maritime Law Enforcement Base not far from Langshan.

In fact, not only the traffic control center, but also other offices of the Maritime Safety Administration are all working here. They have to wait for the tall and magnificent new office building to be built before they can move back. The wait will take at least three years because ground has not yet been broken on the new building.

City Secretary Chen couldn't bear to visit the difficult office environment of the Maritime Safety Administration. He stood in front of a row of large screens in the traffic control center, frowned and looked at the real-time surveillance screen and asked: "Comrade Xu Feng, it has been nearly 40 years since the discovery of the danger. Five minutes, what have you done in these forty-five minutes, and why haven’t you taken action?”

"Secretary Chen, we have taken action."

While Chu Xufeng was cursing that you should not give random orders if you don't understand, he reported the report in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Things have their own priorities. Now is the busiest time for navigation on the river. There are more than 300 large and small ships passing through the waters where the incident occurred every hour. When the incident occurred, There are about 160 ships anchoring and berthing within three kilometers of the incident waters. We must first consider the safety of large and small ships passing through the incident waters and anchoring and berthing near the incident waters. "

In order to build the Yangtze River Bridge, five city secretaries and five mayors almost broke their legs running all the way from the province to the central government. I visited relevant ministries and commissions every three days, and even tried every means to find connections and went through the back door to meet with the leaders of China Y.

It is no exaggeration to say that the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge is Binjiang's top priority.

It is not easy to obtain project approval and various approvals, and construction is even more difficult.

In the eyes of many people who are a little disappointed in waiting, the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge has been halting in recent years, and they do not know that it will not be opened to traffic until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. In fact, what is being built is a project of world-class difficulty. In recent years, engineers from the design unit and construction unit have overcome many technical problems.

The north and south bridge towers have finally been capped, and the north and south main bridges are expected to be closed by the end of next year. Nothing should happen at this critical moment!

The more Secretary Chen thought about it, the more worried he became, and asked coldly: "Aren't you worried about the out-of-control ship hitting the bridge pier?"

"Secretary Chen, the out-of-control ship is still some distance away from the bridge construction waters, and we have a plan for the bridge."

"What plan?"

"There are two engineering ships in the construction waters. Both engineering ships have booms more than 30 meters long. Not to mention that we will not let the out-of-control ship drift into the bridge construction waters. Even if it floats there, we can dispatch engineering ships. Crane to push.”

"What if I can't push it away?"

"Secretary Chen, Comrade Xiang Ning is commanding at the scene. If the situation you mentioned really happens, she will resolutely and decisively order the engineering ship to ram it. Even if it sinks, she must ensure the safety of the bridge pier."

As soon as Chu Xufeng finished speaking, Meng Qingquan, Secretary of Political and Legal Affairs of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of Public Security who was accompanying him, asked in confusion: "Bureau Chu, since you can recruit engineering ships, why don't you order the engineering ships to come over and control the out-of-control ship?"

Here comes another inexperienced person...

Chu Xufeng raised his arm and pointed to a monitoring screen on the left, explaining: "Secretary Meng, these two engineering ships can be said to be the most advanced in the country and are expensive to build. If engineering ships are recruited to control the out-of-control ship, they will definitely The insurance company will not compensate for damage to the engineering vessel and economic losses in this case.”

Deputy Director Yang of the Maritime Safety Administration lost no time in adding: "Besides, it also takes time to transfer the engineering ship."

Just now I was worried that something might happen to the bridge piers, and I was not calm enough.

It was now confirmed that there was basically no need to worry about the safety of the bridge piers. Secretary Chen quickly calmed down and looked at the big screen and asked: "Comrade Xu Feng, what are those tugs doing? They are always circling around the out-of-control ship. Why don't you move up to take action?" measure?"

"It is very dangerous to come close to the ship. If it comes close like this, it will cause damage to the hull, and it may even be hit and sunk by an out-of-control ship."

"The out-of-control ship will immediately enter the waters of Binjiang Port!"

Chu Xufeng looked at the time on the monitor screen and explained: "It is not difficult to control the out-of-control ship, but the difficulty is how to ensure the safety of the crew members on the two out-of-control ships. The cable pulling the barge may break at any time. Once it breaks, The crew on the deck will be cut into two pieces, and the two ships will suddenly change course under the action of centrifugal force..."

Afraid that Secretary Chen and Secretary Meng wouldn't understand, Chu Xufeng walked over and brought two pens to demonstrate what might happen on the spot.

It turns out that the traffic police on the water really have more to consider when dealing with dangerous situations than the traffic police on the shore.

Human life is at stake, and personnel safety must be considered first.

As long as the cost of building a ship is not cheap, a ship can easily cost several hundred or even tens of millions. When ensuring the safety of personnel, ship safety must also be considered.

In addition, waterway safety must also be considered.

Once the ship sinks, it will block the waterway and affect the navigation of the golden waterway.

Secretary Chen figured out the whole story and asked, "Xianyu plans to use a gun to break the cable?"

Is it so easy to break such a thin cable on a river?

Chu Xufeng also felt that it was a bit whimsical, but he couldn't think of a better way. He could only bite the bullet and said: "Breaking the cable is only the first step. Secretary Chen, Secretary Meng, please look here, Han Yu Comrade Wang Xingfa, the captain of the First Coast Patrol Team, was not circling the two out-of-control ships, but looking for the best opportunity to break the cable based on the current and the floating direction and attitude of the out-of-control ship. "

Secretary Chen pondered: "We need to ensure that after separating the two out-of-control ships, the two out-of-control ships will not hit the shore?"

"Yes, the tugboat team is preparing, and the Changhang Public Security Water Commando Team is also preparing."

"What kind of water commando team are they going to prepare for?"

The comrades at the front reported the rescue plan ten minutes ago.

Chu Xufeng said without hesitation: "The water assault team is a water emergency mobile force entrusted by the Changhang Public Security Bureau to the Binjiang Branch. There are not many members, only eight people, and they have just been organized into three groups. The first group is the sniper group, responsible for cutting the cable with a sniper rifle.

The second group is the assault group, which is on standby on Bingang Tug 009. When the sniper group cuts the cable, Bingang Tug 009 will approach the out-of-control bulk carrier at the safest angle and speed. The assault team of the second group will find a way to climb up and tie the cable thrown up by Bingang Tug 011 with a rope thrower, and take over the bridge at the same time."

"Aren't there crew members on the bulk carrier?"

"There are three crew members, but they are all scared."

Secretary Chen thought about it and asked again: "What about the third group?"

Chu Xufeng introduced: "The third group assists the rescue barge Bingang Tug 007 that has just arrived. The first marine patrol team is responsible for vigilance and guarding, and Comrade Han Yu is responsible for command."

With the admiral of the Binjiang Navy, the problem should not be difficult to solve.

Secretary Chen breathed a sigh of relief, crossed his arms and said with some regret: "I really want to see how they use guns to break the cable, but the picture is not clear enough."

The Public Security Bureau is a unit under quasi-military management.

As the director of the Public Security Bureau, Secretary Meng wanted to express his opinion, but he had just taken office in the Public Security Bureau and had never touched a gun. He was not even used to wearing a police uniform, so he could only stand aside and remain silent.

Deputy Director Xu of the Traffic Control Center was a military cadre, and he couldn't help but say: "Secretary Chen, this is not shooting at a fixed target, nor is it shooting at a general 100-meter moving target. The target is constantly moving, and the shooter himself will also rise and fall with the bumps of the ship. Only the best sharpshooter can break the cable."

Secretary Chen reacted and stared at the big screen and said: "As long as the cable can be broken, even if the Changhang Public Security Bureau does not give him a credit, our Binjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will give him a credit!"

At the same time, everything on the river was ready, just waiting for the "rescue window".

Five minutes ago, Han Yu and the sniper team moved to the Bingang Tug 012 that came to participate in the rescue.

Bingang Tuo 012 is not the largest tugboat in Binjiang Port, nor is it the most advanced. The reason why Xie Yiping and Sha Yibo used the front deck of Bingang Tuo 012 as a sniper position is because Bingang Tuo 012 is the tugboat with the largest tonnage and the most stable navigation in the Binjiang Port tugboat team.

Han Yu did not want to add too much pressure to the two young men, so he did not stay beside them. Instead, he stood in the cab and kept asking Captain Wu to keep the tugboat in a stable position as much as possible.

"Director Han, Director Han, we are ready."

"Don't worry, don't be nervous, aim at the point."

The target is less than 80 meters away. Although the shooting environment is more complicated, it is not very challenging for Xie Yiping, a sniper who is fed with bullets.

While aiming at the cable, he calculated the amplitude of the cable and his own shaking, and said: "Director Han, I'm not nervous, but I'm worried about being so close. What if I make a hole in the boat?"

This kid has considered a lot.

Han Yu held up the intercom and said with a smile: "Even if I make a hole in the boat, I don't want you to pay for it."

Xie Yiping asked worriedly: "Will the boat sink?"

"How big can the bullet hole be? Don't worry, even if the bullet flies over and makes a hole in the hull, the boat will not sink. Besides, the steel plate of the hull is so thick that your bullet can't penetrate it."

"Understood."

"Director Han, Director Han, I'm Wang Xingfa, the time is almost right."

"Okay, let's do it, sniper team, shoot!"

"Yes!"

Except for the drivers of the tugboat and law enforcement boats, almost everyone's attention was focused on the front deck of Bingang Tug 012, and they all wanted to see if the sniper of the Changhang Public Security Bureau's Water Commando Team could break the cable with one shot.

However, Han Yu gave the order, and Xie Yiping agreed very happily, but he only agreed verbally and did not shoot immediately.

After waiting for about five or six seconds, just when everyone thought that Xie Yiping and Sha Yibo had failed at the critical moment, a gunshot was heard.

Looking at the cable towing the barge, it suddenly broke, and the longer section whipped the bulk carrier like a whip...

Captain Wu of the tugboat team felt that he had witnessed a miracle, and murmured: "It was broken with one shot, it really broke!"

Han Yu was just as happy, even happier than Old Wu, but now was not the time to be happy, and he immediately raised the intercom: "Attention, all teams, attention, action immediately!"
