Riverside police

It was late at night, and reporter Wang and his assistant Xiao Chen took a truck transporting emergency supplies back home.

Under the illumination of car headlights, every village we passed was completely silent, and every household had their courtyard doors wide open (to reduce the impact of floods and protect the houses), and it was extremely cold.

The village is mostly surrounded by lush cotton fields, lush green rice and large blooming lotus flowers. Occasionally, chickens are chasing each other and pigs are eating, but there is no one, not a single one!

There is an old saying that goes "nine out of ten rooms are empty".

This place is not ten rooms and nine empty rooms, but ten rooms and ten empty rooms.

Fortunately, the Yangliu section of the embankment was defended. If it had not been defended, hundreds of thousands of people who had been transferred "inward" to nearby towns and "outward" to neighboring counties would have been left homeless.

Reporter Wang was in a particularly solemn mood.

Xiao Chen felt that this trip was meaningful. He witnessed the tragic evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people and took photos that others had not taken.

The two rushed to the bottom of the embankment, jumped out of the car and thanked the driver. They climbed up the embankment and saw that the Linghai Reserve Battalion was fighting at night as expected!

The lights on the other side of the cofferdam are brightly lit, and two large excavators, three large loaders, a bulldozer and two large dump trucks are still busy.

I went out to interview the people in the early morning. When the people were evacuated, the cofferdam only had foundations. Now it is higher than the embankment.

To be precise, the cofferdam that the Linghai Reserve Battalion repaired in just eight hours was the dry embankment. It blocked the flood at the critical moment and was regarded as the life embankment of thousands of people behind it!

The previous dry embankment collapsed, leaving only two short sections of less than ten meters in total.

One look at the two short sections of embankment that did not collapse and burst, and one can imagine the thrill at that time.

"Director Wang, you are back. Have you eaten?"

"Eat, the dry food we ate on the road."

Reporter Wang calmed down, turned around and looked at the camp and asked, "Minister Li, where is the salted fish?"

"Mayor Shen ordered him to rest." Vice Minister Li of the Linghai Armed Forces Department raised his arm and looked at his watch, and said with a wry smile: "But he won't be able to sleep for long. He will get up and continue to command later."

"Who is in command now?"

"Now it's Mr. Hao, and Mr. Hao can't handle it anymore."

"Where's Geju?"

"Geju is sleeping too."

As soon as Deputy Minister Li finished speaking, Director Ge came out of the tent, stretched and yawned and said, "I'm getting older, and I don't sleep well. I either don't wake up, or I can't fall asleep when I wake up."

Reporter Wang said apologetically: "Ge Ju, did we wake you up?"

"It has nothing to do with you. I woke up hungry. Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat together."

"We're not hungry, but I can go with you."

"Stay with me, Director Wang, stop joking."

"No kidding, Ge Ju, I have something to ask you."

"Okay, please come this way."

Director Ge led Reporter Wang to the tent of the logistics support personnel, said "wait a moment", went to the water tanker in front and turned on the faucet to wash his face. Then he walked into the tent where "senior officers" had meals and meetings, and turned around. He found his lunch box, and while eating the cold rice and dishes he had not eaten at night, he smiled and asked, "Director Wang, what's the matter?"

"I wrote this in the afternoon. It was not sent to Binjiang Daily, but to Xinhua News Agency. People knew that I had come to the disaster area, and they called me yesterday to make an appointment." Reporter Wang opened his briefcase, took out his notebook, and handed it to in front of him.

They are both reporters, but the structure is completely different.

The people at Binjiang TV Station and Binjiang Daily know how to cover and report news about Binjiang, or they can report it how their leaders tell them to report it.

Reporter Wang is different from those others. Although Reporter Wang is a reporter at Binjiang Radio Station, his stage is not in Binjiang, but across the country!

Xinhua News Agency is a national media.

One piece of news from Xinhua News Agency is worth a hundred articles from Binjiang Daily, maybe more.

Lao Ge didn't care about eating anymore. He quickly wiped his hands and took the notebook: "Thank you, Director Wang, for giving me a sneak peek. I'll read it first."

"Ge Ju, eat first, then watch and review after you finish eating."

"What kind of trial is this? Director Wang, please stop joking with me."

Lao Ge sighed while reading: "As expected of a national-level journalist, the writing is so beautiful and the literary talent is so good. Director Wang, I admire you the most for literati. I have racked my brains to write articles like this." Don’t come out.”

Reporter Wang took out a cigarette and said with a smile: "Geju is overly praised. Can you think of writing it like this?"

"How could there be anything wrong with the article? I'm not trying to compliment you, it's really well written!"

"Can you send it?"

"Of course it can be sent, why can't it be sent!"

"Should I be sent to the 132nd Group for interrogation?"

"Logically it should be sent to trial, but I can vouch for it."

"Thank you. Then I will go to the county town early tomorrow morning to distribute it."

Lao Ge didn't want Reporter Wang to just post like this. He pointed to one of the names, hesitated and said, "Director Wang, others don't know the situation of our Linghai Reserve Battalion. You know best. In order to set up this battalion, in order to come To support Beihu in fighting floods, we in Linghai can be said to be trying to sell iron at the expense of others!"

"I know."

"Just knowing is not enough. If it is published like this, and only mentions the Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Battalion and does not mention our Linghai, do you think the whole battalion commanders and soldiers will be chilled, and will it affect the morale of the team? I can say this, if it is published like this, The entire battalion of officers and soldiers will not agree, and neither will the one million people in Linghai!"

"The order to mobilize you to support the flood fight says Binjiang Flood Control and Emergency Rescue Camp. As for whether using this name will violate confidentiality and publicity disciplines, comrades in the editorial department of Xinhua News Agency said there is no problem. They are a national media, in this regard They think more comprehensively than we do, and their political consciousness is higher than ours."

In the past, using tiger skin as a banner to censor news could only deal with local media such as Binjiang TV Station and Binjiang Daily. It was useless against national journalists like Reporter Wang.

It will take time to ask the 132nd Regiment to help "correct the name" of the Linghai Reserve Battalion. Before the superiors clarify the unit number, reporter Wang can report whatever he wants.

Lao Ge didn't want to waste all his efforts, so he racked his brains and thought for a while, then asked with a smile: "Director Wang, can we make some changes and take both things into consideration?"

"How to adapt, how to balance it?"

Reporter Wang really wants to help promote the Linghai Reserve Battalion, but the unit name and unit number are very serious matters. If you don’t write about Binjiang and only write about Linghai, the manuscript will not be published even if it is sent out.

Lao Ge pointed to the unit number in the article and said with a smile: "Still write Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Battalion, but add a bracket at the end to note Shanlinghai Reserve Battalion."

Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Camp (Linghai Reserve Camp)...

Reporter Wang didn't expect Lao Ge to be flexible and considerate, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, I will modify it as you said. As for whether others will use such expressions, I can't guarantee. After all, after our manuscript is sent, the editor must It will be reviewed and even adjusted.”

"Director Wang, otherwise, change it to Linghai Reserve Battalion and Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Camp. In this way, even if they adjust it, they will only adjust the Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Camp."

"Geju, this is not an appropriate statement. After all, the order is for the Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Camp. If you state it as you say, there is a high probability that people will not adopt it."

"Then let's start as mentioned before. There is nothing we can do if we really want to adjust."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome. We should be the ones thanking you for helping us promote it."

…

While the two were chatting, Han Yu came in.

Reporter Wang raised his head and asked, "San'er, why don't you sleep more?"

"I'm a little hungry. I woke up hungry." Han Yu took out his phone and looked at it. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Counting the time, I should go and take over after eating something. Mr. Hao hasn't had a good rest these days. , I want to replace him."

"Eat quickly, I'll get you some water."

"Thank you Ge Ju."

The dishes are cold and so is the rice.

Maybe I was too hungry, but it tasted particularly delicious.

In order to let "Brother Hao" come back and rest early, Han Yu ate "combat rice" and was full and full in no time. As soon as I put on the equipment that could be used to hang the walkie-talkie and mobile phone, the sound of a car engine could be heard outside.

The three of them walked out of the tent and looked down the embankment. It turned out that Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao had returned from their mission.

What was even more surprising was that as soon as Xu Mingyuan got out of the car, he ran up the embankment and stood at attention, saluting: "Report to the battalion commander that we have completed the task assigned by Mayor Shen. Please return to the team!"

We are all our own people, is it so formal?

Han Yuzheng felt strange when he saw a major general, a colonel and a captain getting out of the car and striding along the slope to meet them.

"Return to the team!"

"yes!"

Xu Mingyuan raised his hand to salute, and then ran away with Ma Jintao and other brothers.

Han Yu could no longer take care of them, and hurriedly greeted them and stood at attention, saluting: "Report to the commander, our battalion is performing a rescue mission in dangerous situations on the Yangliu Village section of the Yangtze River. Please give instructions! Han Yu, commander of the Linghai Reserve Battalion."

"Continue to protect us."

"yes!"

As soon as the major general raised his hand and returned the salute, the colonel introduced with a smile: "Comrade Han Yu, I am Peng Jiandong, the commander of the 132nd Regiment. This is Deputy Commander Lu of our army. Deputy Commander Lu was entrusted by the head of the military region to come to visit. you."

It turned out to be a superior’s superior’s superior…

Han Yu came to his senses and stood at attention again and saluted: "Hello, chief, welcome to come to our camp to inspect the work."

"Comrade Han Yu, I'm here to learn from you and learn from you."

"Chief, you...you really know how to joke."

"Comrade Han Yu, why are you nervous? No matter how high my position is, I am not as high as the head of the military region, let alone Deputy General L. You are not nervous when you see Deputy General L, but you still ask Deputy General L, 'Can I leave?' See how restrained I am."

"Chief, how do you know these things?"

"I heard that." Deputy Commander Lu patted Han Yu's arm, then turned around and asked with a smile: "Who is Ge Gong?"

"I, I am, hello, chief."

"I've heard about the name for a long time." Deputy Commander Lu held Lao Ge's hand tightly, turned to look at Commander Peng, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Ge, for your hard work. We have caused you trouble."

"Chief, I don't even know how to answer what you said."

"You are a professor-level senior engineer and an expert in flood control. You even helped us manage a battalion today. You are better at commanding and logistical support than the regiment leader Peng Jiandong. Isn't this just causing trouble for you? And what's next? I still need to trouble you.”

"Chief, I don't quite understand..."

Deputy Commander Lu was very busy at work. Accompanied by everyone, he walked to the area under construction and said straight to the point: "Comrade Han Yu, Mr. Ge, I came here tonight mainly for two things. One is to come and see the work as entrusted by my superiors." Look at everyone, the second is that I was entrusted by my superiors to announce an order."

Han Yu quickly said: "Chief, please announce it."

Deputy Commander Lu stopped, looked at the two men and said: "Comrade Han Yu, given that your battalion is mainly engaged in mechanized rescue operations and lacks auxiliary construction forces. At the request of the local flood control command department, the head of the military region ordered the deployment of the First Division of the 132nd Regiment and the Naval Academy Diving All the detachments will form a more combat-effective emergency rescue commando team with your battalion, with you as the captain."

"yes!"

"At the same time, a temporary party committee of the emergency rescue commando team was established, with Comrade Shen Fan serving as the temporary party secretary of the commando team, Comrade Peng Jiandong, leader of the 132nd Regiment, Comrade Feng Qingsong, leader of the Naval Academy Diving Team, Comrade Ge Weidong, a member of your battalion's senior expert team, and You serve as a temporary party committee member.”

"Chief, our Mayor Shen is on duty in Jingzhou to prevent fingernails."

"I know, I saw him before coming here."

Deputy Commander Lu looked back at Commander Peng again and added: "Comrade Peng Jiandong cannot always be with you. The main work of the emergency rescue commando team and the work of the emergency rescue commando team's temporary party committee mainly depends on you two." Bit done.”
