Riverside police

It rained intermittently for two days, but as soon as it cleared up, the flags of the Binjiang Reserve Regiment, Linghai Reserve Battalion, Binjiang Development Zone Reserve Battalion, the "Fortified Hero Battalion" and the "Red Sharp Knife Company" were displayed on the muddy inside of the embankment in the three sections of the Yangtze River. The fields are swaying in the wind.

Xiaoyu took the lead, operating the excavator with the red flag on it, starting from the side of the road along the river and working towards the river embankment.

Today's work is still building roads, and lines have been laid out in the fields.

After Xiaoyu cleaned up the silt in the working area, repeatedly crushed it with the excavator's tracks, and repeatedly patted it with the back of the bucket to flatten and compact a section of the roadbed, Commander Xia and Political Commissar Jiao led the staff officers of the regiment and Zhang Erxiao, "Full-time" pre-commissioned officers" such as Xiao Jiang and Wu Heng, as well as "full-time" pre-commissioned soldiers such as Wang Tiejun and Yan Huadong swarmed forward.

More than two dozen officers and soldiers relied solely on manpower to unload the construction waste brought by the transportation team from the demolition site in the development zone and the gravel provided by Sanhe Street into the vehicles.

Immediately afterwards, the bulldozer sent by the Road and Bridge Company came on board.

Push the construction waste unloaded by everyone from the side of the road to Xiaoyu's flat and compacted roadbed. First, flatten it as much as possible, and then crush it repeatedly with the tracks of the bulldozer.

When the bulldozer was almost done, Xiaoyu drove the excavator back and used the grab bucket to spread the newly unloaded gravel as evenly as possible on the road surface.

Active-duty officers such as Commander Xia and Political Commissar Jiao, as well as "boss officers" such as Zhang Erxiao and Wu Heng, all became auxiliary construction workers today. They just took a break and continued working, using the most primitive tools such as shovels and rakes to level the small fish. The gravel was used for final smoothing.

After a morning of hard work, a simple gravel road about five meters wide and twenty meters long appeared in front of us.

Although there is still some distance from the river embankment, and it would take at least three days to build the road to the river embankment with just these two construction machines and these thirty people, we still feel a great sense of accomplishment.

"Comrades, thank you for your hard work. Let's rest for a while. There is clean water over there. Go and wash your hands quickly. The food will be delivered to you right away!"

"Captain, are the provincial leaders coming?"

"Why do you ask this? We are here to fight the flood. Whether the superiors are here or not, whether they are coming or not, we are all the same!"

"Captain, I'm just curious."

"What's there to be curious about?"

Captain Xia glared at the major who asked the provincial leader whether he was here to check. He turned to look at the pre-commissioned soldier who was probably the youngest in the entire Binjiang Reserve Regiment and asked with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, are you tired?"

Dongdong couldn't care less about studying the excavator, and turned around quickly and said, "I'm not very tired."

"Are your hands blistered?"

"No."

"Take off your gloves and let me see."

Dongdong took off his gloves, showed it to Commander Xia and Political Commissar Jiao, and said with an embarrassed look: "There are really no blisters, it's just... it just hurts a little."

The child in front of me is only sixteen years old this year. He has just taken the high school entrance examination. It is said that he did well in the exam and will become a real Donghai native in two years. During the summer vacation, he can obviously play like other children, but he is being fucked by his parents. They were sent over to "join the army" and even had to participate in labor like adults.

I saw that he was interested in driving an excavator in the morning. I originally planned to let him learn to drive an excavator from Xiaoyu, but he actually said that he could only learn to drive an excavator in his spare time from "Uncle Xiaoyu", otherwise his parents would His uncle Xianyu was going to let him go back.

In short, his family made him suffer!

What kind of family can educate what kind of children.

Captain Xia was filled with emotion and couldn't help but laugh: "It's true that your parents asked you to do such a heavy job when you were only sixteen years old."

Just when Dongdong didn't know how to explain, Xiaoyu came over and said with a smile: "It's normal to work at the age of sixteen. His uncle and I have already joined the work at the age of sixteen. Besides, today's work is not heavy, so we can work for a while. Take a break, just like playing."

Work for a while and rest for a while!

It’s like playing!

Are you talking about Dongdong or us?

Captain Xia was speechless for a moment.

When Political Commissar Jiao heard what Xiaoyu said, he didn't dare to rub his waist anymore.

The staff officers of the regiment usually seldom conduct military training and just walk in the queue. This morning's work is really high-intensity for them. They all have backaches and are also very depressed by Xiaoyu.

Yang Jianbo and Zhao Jiang saw that the regiment leader and political commissar looked embarrassed. They hurriedly made an excuse to see if the food had been delivered, and ran to the road to look in the direction of the camp.

Zhang Erxiao and other "boss officers" had long been accustomed to Xiaoyu's venomous tongue, so they pretended not to hear and kept a distance from him.

Xiaoyu didn't know that he had just hit a group of people including the regiment leader and political commissar. He put his arms around Dongdong's shoulders and said with joy: "When your uncle and I were your age, we did all kinds of work. Not only Work also requires military training. In the morning before dawn, we have to be fully armed and run five kilometers along the river embankment."

Dongdong likes to play with Uncle Xiaoyu very much, because he and Uncle Xiaoyu have a common language when he was very young. He raised his head and smiled: "I know, I have seen it."

"Remember, you visited our institute when you were a child."

Xiaoyu let go of his arm, thought about it and smiled: "When your father went to help us repair the ship, he would take you to Bailong Port in the morning, and then take you back to the city after work was done in the afternoon. You don't know what happened at night. "

Dongdong asked curiously: "Uncle Xiaoyu, you and my uncle also have to train at night?"

"Three hundred, no one less, don't even think about sleeping if you do less than one."

"What three hundred?"

"A hundred pull-ups, a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups."

"My uncle also wants to make three hundred?"

"Yeah, but he won't be able to do it at first. It takes a long time to do it, and then he will get used to it."

"Can you still do that much now?"

"Of course I can do it. I am a police fitness instructor at the police academy. If I can't do so much, how can I teach the students!"

In terms of physical fitness and military quality, the active-duty officers in the regiment have been cadres for a long time, and none of them is as good as a small fish, or even as good as a salted fish.

If you can't do it yourself, how can you lead troops?

Commander Xia was thinking about strengthening his physical fitness and military training in the future when Han Xiangning's voice suddenly came from the intercom: "Captain Xia, Commander Xia, I am Han Xiangning. Please answer when you receive it."

"Received, please speak."

"The provincial leaders did not go ashore. They inspected the river and then left."

"Where are you now?"

"Xianyu said that they have entered Dongqi waters and the provincial leaders will disembark at Dongqi Port and transfer to a car to return to Binjiang."

"If you don't come, don't come. Let's do our thing."

…

Floods occurred in many places, and flood peaks have already appeared in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River!

For more than half a month, as long as you turn on the TV, you can see news about floods occurring in various places and the PLA and militia reserve officers and soldiers participating in emergency rescue and disaster relief.

Binjiang is located at the end of the Yangtze River. The river is very wide, and further east is the sea.

Even if the main embankment of the Yangtze River is not fully repaired, there is nothing to worry about no matter how big the flood is in the upper reaches. What we are really worried about is waterlogging, typhoons and ocean tides.

In fact, the current focus of flood control in Binjiang districts and counties is not on the Yangtze River embankments, but on the internal waterlogging caused by continuous rainfall some time ago. Due to the lack of time for drainage, many low-lying places were flooded. Everyone up and down was busy draining water. Water conservancy and drainage along the river The gate drains water into the river 24 hours a day.

But now the superiors attach great importance to Yangtze River flood control. Provincial leaders want to inspect Binjiang's Yangtze River embankment. You must let your superiors see that Binjiang has not improperly responded to the superior's request.

In addition, many troops have participated in flood control, and the Binjiang Reserve Regiment cannot do anything.

Active-duty troops can request battles. In the news, it is either said that this unit "moves when the floods occur" or that unit "moves when the floods occur". Reserve troops are more embarrassed in this regard.

You have neither soldiers nor funds. If you ask for a fight like the active troops, it will be a generosity to others!

The boss may think that you are asking others to contribute people or even money in order to achieve something, or even to receive awards for meritorious service...

In short, the regiment was very embarrassed and confused about whether to invite or not to fight, or whether to go out to fight.

When Han Yu saw the regiment leader and political commissar, he always called and asked indirect questions about this and that. It was clear that the regiment wanted to make a difference but could not speak out.

Seeing that provincial leaders are coming to inspect, he has to perform water guard duties again.

Then I thought about Ge Ju complaining more than once that the city only knew how to build roads and embankments before, but did not know how to build roads between the highways along the river and the river embankments that are prone to danger. As a result, he had to walk on muddy roads every time he inspected, and if there was a real danger, it would be difficult to deliver the mechanical equipment and materials needed for rescue operations to the river embankment.

Han Yu simply took advantage of the situation and asked Vice Mayor Shen for help as the deputy chief of staff of the Binjiang Reserve Regiment. He summoned pre-appointed officers and pre-commissioned soldiers who had nothing to do, and used existing equipment to form a flood prevention team. Build several gravel roads leading to dangerous sections of the river embankment.

Vice Mayor Shen is not only a local leader, but also the deputy political commissar of the Binjiang Reserve Corps and the first secretary of the Linghai Reserve Battalion. Considering that the reserve forces really need to make some noise, he not only agreed, but also asked the management committee to arrange the necessary work for road construction. of sand and gravel.

Organize existing personnel and utilize existing equipment.

It will not affect the normal work of the "main force", nor will it affect the normal production and operation of the Port Authority, Lingda Ferry, COSCO Shipyard, Linghai Road and Bridge Company and other units. Vice Mayor Qin also supports this and helps Say hello to the media.

Although not many soldiers were dispatched, at least they could show their faces.

Commander Xia and Political Commissar Jiao were very happy, so today's scene happened.

Lunch was delivered on time.

Today's meal was good, with two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish, including braised pork and chicken legs, including the mineral water we drank in the morning, all sponsored by a "boss officer" in the development zone.

Eat and drink enough and continue working.

We worked until around 3:30 in the afternoon, when reporters from Binjiang TV, Binjiang Radio and Binjiang Daily arrived. Captain Xia put down his shovel for an interview and introduced the Binjiang Reserve Regiment's participation in flood control in a measured and elegant manner.

The reporters were all "uncrowned kings." Seeing that there were not many officers and soldiers participating in flood control, they asked several more pointed questions.

Commander Xia was well prepared and answered resoundingly: "There are not many officers and soldiers participating in flood control today, mainly because the two main battalions of our regiment are the flood control and rescue strategic reserve teams designated by the municipal party committee, municipal government and military divisions. It is necessary. We are on call 24 hours a day, directly accepting the command of the municipal party committee, city government and military divisions. We can only go into battle when there is a serious danger!"
