Contrary to what the engineer had expected, the seven pipe outlets no longer spewed out water and sand, but began to spray water out like a fountain. One of the pipe outlets spewed a column of water nearly two meters high!

The water pressure is so high that it is impossible to use straw filters to retain the sand, so we can only let it spray.

The newly built cofferdam and the dry embankment in front are in a semicircular shape, and the area is large enough, covering more than 1,400 square meters.

After six and a half hours of earthwork construction, the cofferdam has been built to a height of nearly nine meters, which means that the newly enclosed large semicircular pond in front of us can hold nearly 10,000 cubic meters of water.

The mouth of the pipe will only get bigger and bigger, and the water flowing in will only get faster and faster.

The dangerous embankment ahead may collapse and breach at any time, and the newly built cofferdam is not really compacted and is not very strong, so building sandbag walls to protect the slope is crucial!

The water that poured in was half a foot high, and all the militiamen who had been guarding the pipe from the embankment were withdrawn.

Han Yu looked at the rising water level in the large pond. He held up a walkie-talkie and a portable speaker to issue orders frequently.

"Jiao Yang, Jiao Yang, you are the commander, you can't fill sandbags."

"Copy that, I'm going to the embankment right now."

"Hurry up and organize people to assist the drainage team in pulling out the power rack, water pump and water pipes, and drain the incoming water into the river as much as possible!"

"yes!"

"Geju, ask Director Hu when the water pump he asked him to find will be delivered!"

"Got it, I'll hurry up."

"Consultant Dai, I am Han Yu, can you receive it?"

"Copy that, Secretary Han, please speak."

"Stop carrying sandbags. Immediately organize people to go to the boat to carry thirty piles of wood. You must move quickly!"

"receive!"

Han Yu tuned the intercom to the frequency of the water support team and shouted eagerly: "Director Gu, Director Gu, I'm Han Yu, please answer when you receive it."

"Copy that, Secretary Han, please speak!"

"Are there any cables over there? Any rope will do, as long as it's strong. I'll send you as many as you can."

"yes!"

"Mr. Hao, Mr. Hao, I have already notified people to transport the piles. Once the piles are delivered to the embankment, we will immediately have the No. 1 excavator go to the embankment and drive piles every five meters."

"What's the use of hitting one from five meters?"

"It's not for protecting the new embankment, it's for tying safety ropes to the officers and soldiers who are laying sandbags."

"Understood!"

"Company Commander Wu, Captain Wu, I am arranging for people to drive piles on the embankment, and I have also arranged for people to find ropes. When the piles are driven, and when the ropes are delivered, all your people must fasten safety ropes!"

"yes!"

The officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company of the 132nd Regiment were all building sandbags on the water side of the new embankment. They were now in the most dangerous situation.

After Han Yu issued the order, he ran to the dry embankment along the new embankment that was still under construction. He looked at 001 who was cooperating with the navy divers on the river surface and adjusted the frequency of the intercom again.

"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I am Han Yu, the commander-in-chief of the rescue operation. The water flowing in is very fast and the volume is large. There should be clues of leaks on the river surface. Have you seen it?"

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, we haven't found anything yet."

Han Yu looked back at the rising water level in the large pond, quickly estimated the approximate time it would take for the water level to reach the feet of the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company of the 132nd Regiment, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I will give you four more Fifteen minutes, if you can’t find the leak within forty-five minutes, please go ashore immediately!”

The lieutenant colonel knew very well how serious the danger on the shore was, and he could not bear to think that the commander-in-chief who was giving the order was not only a young man, but not even an active officer.

He didn't want to give up halfway and said eagerly: "Comrade Commander-in-Chief, can you give us a little more time? The situation under the water is different from that on the shore. My brother underwater can't see anything and can only touch it bit by bit with his hands." !”

"No, I don't have that much time for you. 001 will be of great use in the future."

"yes!"

"Captain Fan, Captain Fan, I, Han Yu, can you hear me?"

"able."

"Since our 001 can supply water offshore, it can also pump water offshore! I will ask the comrades from the mechanical maintenance team to come over by boat. You and the comrades from the mechanical maintenance team will work together to see if we can start the operation in forty-five minutes. Come over and drain the water that has poured into the embankment together."

"Okay, let's think of a solution."

"You have to move quickly while ensuring the safety of the divers."

"Know."

The naval lieutenant colonel finally knew what the young commander-in-chief needed this public security law enforcement ship converted from a tugboat.

There are fire pumps and high-pressure water cannons on the ship, and the water pumping and discharging speed is much faster than the two water pumps on the shore. This is to allow 001 to participate in draining the water flowing into the embankment to ensure the safety of rescue personnel in the embankment.

Come here, all the subordinates have already entered the water, including even a student.

The lieutenant colonel didn't want to give up halfway, so he put down the walkie-talkie, picked up the intercom that could communicate with the divers, and shouted: "Xiao Liu Xiaowu, the piping situation in the embankment is out of control, and the river water is constantly pouring into the embankment. This public security boat 45 After a few minutes, drive over to participate in drainage.

If we can find the leak within 45 minutes, we can find a way to plug it, and we can control the piping surge, and the airborne troops and reserve troops who are working in the embankment will have an extra level of safety. "

The diver who was searching the bottom of the river like a blind man could hear clearly through his earphones and said quickly: "Understood, let's speed up the search."

Under normal circumstances, the Linghai Reserve Battalion is staffed by thirty or forty people and watched by more than a hundred people.

The situation is extremely urgent now. Almost all logistics support personnel and officers and soldiers taking a break are filling or transporting sandbags. Even Liang Xiaojun and his wife are filling sandbags at the soil borrowing point.

Vice Mayor Shen was previously worried that the chief would see many people resting, so he followed the chief ashore and walked over to take a look. The stone that was almost hanging in his throat finally fell.

The accompanying chief of the military region and Vice Governor Zhou Z originally planned to ask the staff to go up and find a loudspeaker to tell the nearly 1,000 soldiers and civilians who were rescuing on and off the embankment and on the water. morale.

Vice President L saw this situation and immediately stopped him.

"Comrade Health, the officers, soldiers and the masses are scrambling for time against the danger, and we cannot affect their rescue efforts."

"Then let the main person in charge of the military and local people report the situation?"

"Okay, just notify two people."

…

Han Yu was so busy that he, like most people, didn't notice a group of people coming along the embankment.

I was shocked when I received the notice from Ge Bureau. I explained it to Mr. Hao, Xugong and others, and rushed to the headquarters tent in a hurry.

County Magistrate Huang is reporting to the chief on the evacuation of the masses and the heightening and reinforcement of dams in several surrounding towns and villages.

Here we are racing against time to rescue, and several surrounding towns and villages are also preparing for the moment the embankment here breaks.

Because more than half of the towns in Angong County are within the Jingjiang Flood Diversion Project area, but they have not diverted floods since 1954, no one can guarantee whether those dams and culverts can withstand it.

Han Yu did not dare to interrupt, so he simply exited the tent and continued to direct the rescue.

"Strict work, how much has the water level risen?"

"It's rising faster than before. It has already grown to 42 centimeters."

"Monitor closely and if the influx is faster than this, report it immediately."

"OK."

"Gong Yao, Gong Yao, I, Han Yu, report the situation of the dangerous embankment?"

"The overall settlement has been six centimeters in the past twenty minutes. It is not a settlement, but a collapse! Sixteen cracks have appeared on the top of the embankment in Section 3, the waist of Section 4, and the foot of Section 6. The thickest cracks can extend Put in a finger. Secretary Han, do you want to organize the force for grouting?"

"It's empty down there, and it's neither late nor useful to grout now."

"What should we do?"

"Organize the evacuation of soil experts, you continue to measure, and report any new situations in a timely manner."

"yes!"

Ships are working on the river, and so many construction machinery are working on the shore.

The noise is loud and the shouting must be loud.

Vice President L heard clearly in the tent and asked County Magistrate Huang to report later, and signaled Vice Mayor Shen to call Han Yu in.

"Hello, Chief, the Linghai Reserve Battalion is performing a rescue mission, please give instructions!"

Han Yu had just come in once, and all the leaders, including Vice President L, thought he was just an ordinary reserve officer in the Linghai Reserve Battalion. After all, he looked very young.

If they are just battalion commanders of ordinary troops, both active duty and reserve troops are very young.

But the Linghai reserve camp is not an ordinary reserve camp. The mechanized equipment for rescue on and off the embankment and the water equipment rushing here at starry night are worth nearly 100 million in total.

It may be more valuable than the equipment of a division of the field army. Who dares to believe that the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Government dare to hand over such a battalion to a young man...

Vice President L was stunned and asked: "Comrade Han Yu, you are the commander-in-chief on the scene and you know the situation best. Please give us a solid background. Can the dangerous situation here be rescued?"

Vice President L actually came in person and looked as gentle as on TV.

Normally, Han Yu would be really nervous.

But now is not the usual time. I am already too busy to report to the boss, so why would I care how big a leader Vice President L is.

Seeing that everyone, including Vice President L, was staring at him, Han Yu was silent for a moment and said: "Report to the chief, if there are enough emergency supplies and they can be in place within an hour and a half, we are 50% sure to rescue them." Protect!"

"What supplies are needed?"

"Give us another 10,000 woven bags, as many piles of wood and stones as we need."

Vice President L turned around and asked: "Comrade Health, can these supplies be available within an hour and a half?"

Vice Governor Zhou gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Yes!"

"Hurry up and make arrangements."

"yes!"

Vice Governor Zhou took out his mobile phone and walked out of the tent, followed quickly by Secretary Chen, County Magistrate Huang and other local leaders.

There is a large stack of materials on a table made of steel pipes and steel plates.

Vice President L asked while flipping through the pages: "Comrade Han Yu, I know you are very busy, but I cannot be unsure. Please take five minutes to briefly report on the next rescue plan."

"yes!"

Han Yu quickly walked to Vice President L, pulled out a sketch drawn by Sun Gong, chief engineer of the Road and Bridge Company, and reported: "Report to the chief, the total length of the cofferdam we are building is 60 meters. If the piping danger develops differently, Quickly, we can carry out the construction step by step and compact it layer by layer. It is expected to be completed within twelve hours.

But now the piping danger is developing too fast, and the dangerous embankment of more than ten meters in front has begun to collapse again. The change in danger does not allow us to continue to protect it according to the original plan. We can only use the advantages of existing equipment to raise the cofferdam to fifteen meters as quickly as possible. "

Vice President L adjusted his glasses and signaled to continue.

"Considering that the uncompacted cofferdam has insufficient water-retaining capacity, we raised the cofferdam and at the same time used sandbags layer by layer on the water side of the cofferdam, and used a sandbag wall built along the slope of the cofferdam. Slope protection. As long as the dangerous embankment in front can hold on for another hour without breaking, the newly built cofferdam can play a preliminary role in blocking water."

"What if it collapses within an hour?"

"We have prepared a large number of sandbag cages tied with iron belts and are still filling and tying them. Once the dangerous embankment in front breaks, the sandbag cages will be transported to the cofferdam to block the water."

While gesturing on the sketch, Han Yu continued: "If the dangerous embankment in front can last for an hour, we will be 80% sure of protecting this dangerous situation. As long as the water level is maintained, the officers and soldiers who are building the sandbag wall will not be flooded. , then don’t worry about the water coming in, just let it continue to flow.”

Vice President L subconsciously asked: "Let it continue to surge?"

"The speed of the influx now is not enough to harm the cofferdam under construction. If it continues to surge inward until it is level with the water level outside the embankment, even if the dangerous embankment in front collapses and breaches, it will not have a great impact on the newly constructed cofferdam. The impact, so to speak, of letting the water come in is not entirely a bad thing for us.”

"Then what?"

"Then we will continue to heighten and strengthen the cofferdam. When the cofferdam is reinforced and raised to the point where it can retain water as well as the dry embankments on the left and right sides, we will then fill in this large semicircular pond so that the water side will be in line with the current dry embankments. The embankment is even."

Just rebuild a dry embankment!

The engineering team from Linghai seemed to have a very simple rescue method. The dangerous situation at Laomiao Gate was protected in this way, and the dangerous situation at Yangliu Village Section was the same.

The only difference is that the danger in the Yangliu Village section is more complex and severe. They need to constantly adjust the rescue plan, unlike the dangerous situation at the gate of Hu Laomiao gate where they directly pull earth and repair it.

Seeing that Han Yu was so confident, Vice President L relaxed slightly and raised his head and said: "Block first and then consolidate, and repair while repairing. It would be good to build a large semicircular playground."

Han Yu did not expect that Vice President L would actually say this, and said quickly: "Report to the chief, the reason why we want to fill this large semicircular pond is, firstly, considering that the quality of the hastily built cofferdam is not enough to withstand the flood. Use the simplest and most direct method for reinforcement.

Then there is the flood diversion project area behind the levee. It has not diverted floods for decades, and we don’t know whether flood diversion will be needed in the future. We don’t know whether the safety zone originally built in the flood diversion area is safe now, so we want to strengthen the cofferdam. At the same time, we will use our equipment advantages to build a flood diversion safety zone here. "

"Think far and consider everything comprehensively."

"Chief, can I leave?"

"..."

The accompanying chief of the military region was stunned, unable to believe that the young reserve battalion commander would suddenly ask such a question.

Vice Mayor Shen was completely stunned and looked at Han Yu stupidly, not knowing what to say.

Vice President L also didn't expect it, but he quickly recovered and reached out to pat his arm: "Comrade Han Yu, you are a competent rescue commander. Please tell all the officers and soldiers who are working on the rescue that I have come to see you. I will come again when the danger is under control, and I will come to celebrate my comrades!"

"Thank you, chief. Goodbye, chief!"

Han Yu really didn't think about being new and different, but he really didn't care. He saluted several leaders, including Vice President L, and then walked out of the tent without looking back.
