Riverside police

With so many people and few tents, the soldiers of the 132nd Regiment could only sleep in the open air with their pillows on sandbags.

There are many mosquitoes and the ground is cold. If it rains, people will become drowned rats. Not only will they not be able to rest well, but they will also get sick easily.

Fortunately, I asked the headquarters for piles of wood. The headquarters really didn’t know where to find them, so they actually asked the Forestry Bureau to send six ships of bamboo through the long-distance voyage logistics support team.

Bamboo cannot be piled, but it can be used to build scaffolding and tents. Han Yu accepted the order.

Seeing that the large and small ships that were transporting emergency supplies had canvas to cover the cargo holds, he simply asked Qiu Xueliang to give them a few receipts and requisition all the canvas! As for how much the canvas is worth, let them go to Boss Huang to settle the account together with the shipping cost.

It's easier with canvas.

Ask Staff Officer Dai and Company Commander Wu to organize the officers and soldiers to transport the bamboo to the embankment, use lead wire (iron wire) to build a frame first, cut canvas on site to cover it, and then fix it with iron wire.

There is strength in numbers.

In less than two hours, six large tents were set up!

The nearby villagers who did not evacuate with the "big army" realized that the People's Liberation Army was risking their lives to help them defend their homes, so they spontaneously went back overnight to transport a lot of straw. Some villagers even brought their own mats and mosquito nets.

People's soldiers do not take advantage of the masses, and mass discipline is very important.

Straw is not worth a lot of money, and it is indeed needed now, but mats and mosquito nets must not be collected. On behalf of the emergency rescue commando team, Staff Officer Dai declined the villagers' good intentions and reminded them that they could not go down the embankment to go home without permission from the county party committee and county government.

With dry straw as cushions and tents to protect them from the wind and dew, the soldiers slept soundly.

When I woke up, it was already bright.

When I walked out of the big tent, I saw that the more than 40-meter dry embankment at the junction with the cofferdam was four to five meters wider than when I slept at night!

The large excavator of the "Hong Kong Garrison" is still digging soil under the embankment. The two strange-looking large dump trucks are transporting soil to the dry embankment on both sides of the breach. The three large forklifts and the bulldozer are heightening and widening the breach. The dry embankments on both sides were busy.

Looking back at the "landing point", I was surprised to find that the landing point had also been heightened and reinforced.

The construction road leading from the "landing point" to the embankment showed that it had been rebuilt at night. The slope was gentler than before. There were actually three road rollers parked at the bottom of the slope. The large rollers of two of them looked as tall as a person.

The embankments on both sides of the "landing point" are still areas where emergency supplies are piled. Two officers from the "Hong Kong Garrison" are holding folders and counting in the yard...

"Stop looking, there's nothing good to see!"

Company Commander Wu walked over quickly and shouted: "Seventh Platoon Captain, Eighth Platoon Leader, and Ninth Platoon Leader, please arrange two people each to go with the Chief of Staff to the tent of the logistics group of the 'Hong Kong Garrison' to collect toiletries and labor protection supplies. Once you get them back, organize them immediately." distribution."

"yes!"

"I haven't finished talking yet, what is it?"

Company Commander Wu snorted coldly and continued: "There are two fire brigade water tankers in front of us. After receiving the toiletries, we line up in groups to wash up. Please clean up for me and brush your teeth properly. Don't clean up. You are not allowed to eat until you are clean, and you must also pay attention to saving water.”

"yes!"

"Move quickly."

…

Han Yu didn't get up very early, but he didn't sleep in the middle of the night.

I had just finished my shift with Zou Xiangyu, and I was having breakfast in the "senior officers' tent" while talking to an old engineer from the Angong County Water Conservancy Bureau who had finally slept for a few hours.

"Leave later!"

"Secretary Han, I can't bear to leave, but I can't help but leave."

"Is there any danger?" Han Yu asked subconsciously.

Yan Gong looked up at Director Ge and Navy Lieutenant Colonel Feng Qingsong who had just walked in, and said solemnly: "Our county is crisscrossed by rivers, including eighteen large and small rivers such as Songdong, Songxi, Hudu, and Ouchi. Most of these rivers It is the branch channel that diverts river water into Dongting Lake, so our county is also called the 'River Corridor'."

Han Yu only knew that their county was severely affected by the disaster, but did not know the specific situation. He asked in a low voice: "How long is the embankment in the river corridor?"

"The direct water retaining embankment section is 683 kilometers."

"So long!"

"This does not include the 95.74 kilometers of Yangtze River embankments."

As the chief engineer who is most familiar with the county's water conditions, the pressure of strict work is even greater than that of Huang County. He sighed softly and said helplessly: "If we compare the length of embankments in various districts and counties across the country, our county will definitely take the first place. .

The water level of the Yangtze River has skyrocketed and cannot be discharged downstream. It has to flow into Dongting Lake from our place. When there is heavy rain in the Dongting Lake Basin, it cannot be discharged from the lower reaches into the Yangtze River, so it has to be discharged into the Yangtze River from us.

As you know the current situation, the water level of the Jingjiang River remains high, and the same is true for Dongting Lake. We are sandwiched between them, and all rivers in the territory are operating at super-alert and super-guaranteed water levels. In other words, most towns in our county are surrounded by water that is higher than the roofs of houses! "

No wonder the country started the Jingjiang flood diversion project decades ago and included most of the towns in their county into the scope of the flood diversion project.

Flood diversion is easier said than done.

With such a large area involved, how much economic losses would be caused by flood diversion, and how many people would be homeless or even lose everything...

The weather forecast says it will rain again upstream in the next few days.

Han Yu realized that the main battlefield of the Linghai Reserve Battalion was likely to be in their county, and he muttered: "Gong Yan, I will arrange a car to take you off later. If conditions permit, can you arrange for someone to send us a county-wide ticket?" river distribution maps and traffic maps as detailed as possible.”

"No problem, I'll call the bureau later. We have someone on duty in the bureau."

"It's too late to send someone to get familiar with the river and road conditions now. It's best to arrange for a comrade who is familiar with the situation to come over. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If you encounter a major danger over there, we have a guide who can provide timely support."

"Secretary Han, I don't know how to thank you..."

"What are you thankful for? We are here to rescue you."

I don’t even have time to thank you for your kindness, and I don’t have time to thank you now.

Yan Gong nodded and asked the question that the county leaders were most concerned about: "Secretary Han, it is inconvenient for the people who evacuated to do anything outside. They are very homesick. Secretary Yuan and County Magistrate Huang asked me to ask you, after evacuating When can the people who went there go home?”

Yesterday afternoon I told the waiter that I would have to wait 21 hours.

It has now been 12 hours. Judging from the progress of the rescue construction and the results of the consultation between XCMG, YaoGong and SunGong just now, the risk of collapse is basically under control.

Han Yu weighed it for a moment, raised his head and said, "You can go home now."

"Great, I'll go out and make a phone call to report to Secretary Yuan and County Magistrate Huang."

"Ge Bureau, we also need to report to the city's defense director. Please give Mayor Shen a call."

"OK."

As soon as Yan Gong and Lao Ge walked out of the tent, Feng Qingsong sat down and asked, "Commander-in-Chief, what are our detachments doing today?"

Han Yu greeted him for breakfast and said with a smile: "We are like the fire brigade now, waiting for the headquarters to dispatch police while continuing to protect the dangerous situation in front of us."

"As expected of a police officer, he always uses police terminology when he speaks."

"Speaking of which, we have quite a lot of police officers in our battalion. Although the Road and Bridge Company is the main force in our battalion's emergency response, in fact our battalion is not established on the basis of the Road and Bridge Company. Instead, it is based on the Water Police, Changhang Public Security, Port Supervision, and Customs. , fishery administration and other water law enforcement units, especially those formed on the basis of water fire rescue teams.”

"Commander-in-Chief, do you think we are half colleagues?"

"Pretty much, I deal with your navy a lot."

"Yeah?"

"Really, I ran errands and did odd jobs for your navy, escorted your navy's submarines in and out of the Yangtze River, went to your navy's Guantong Station on a small island in the East China Sea, and accompanied the city leaders to express condolences to the past. Our Linghai boat is named after Linghai."

Seeing the happy look of the Navy Lieutenant Colonel, Han Yu added with a smile: "There is an elder who watched me grow up. His surname is Feng like you. He was also in the Navy before, and he is the youngest captain and the oldest in the Navy. Young deputy division cadre."

Feng Qingsong asked curiously: "Which fleet does that senior belong to?"

"East China Sea Fleet, but he changed his career long ago. He worked as the director of the Binjiang Branch of the Yangtze River Port Supervision Bureau for many years. He was later transferred to Hanwu, and then to COSCO. He is now retired."

"retired?"

"Um."

There is a lot to do next.

Han Yu didn't bother to chat anymore, finished the porridge in the bowl, and got down to business: "Team Feng, although your team has a small number of people, you must play an important role in the subsequent rescue. We must use your good steel Use it on the edge of a knife!”

"Commander, who are we? We are not afraid of your jokes. We don't even know what we can do?"

“There’s a lot more that can be done.”

Han Yu put down his chopsticks and said very seriously: "The water level remains high and the embankment is soaked in water. There will be more and more dangers of piping in the future. If the leak can be found in time, yesterday afternoon will not happen. Such a collapse would lead to a collapse. If you want to find and plug leaks, you have to dive, so you should also be mentally prepared to be a 'firefighter'."

Feng Qingsong said quickly: "Yes!"

"The water level cannot always be so high. Sooner or later it will fall back. The weather is so hot. Once the water level falls, the levee is likely to crack. Cracking of the levee is just as dangerous. At that time, you will need to dive down to check the cracking situation below the water surface. "

"Then what?"

"We will formulate an emergency rescue plan based on the specific situation. When the time comes, you will need to dive down to check repeatedly, and you may even need to dive down to assist in the emergency rescue."

Han Yu paused and then said: "Compared with the cracking of levees, the cracking of reinforced concrete buildings such as reservoirs and gates is more dangerous. Especially when the reservoir dam cracks, the dam of the reservoir is very high and the water pressure is very high, making it more difficult to rescue.

We have introduced an underwater engineering company to Linghai Development Zone. I called Mayor Shen this morning. Mayor Shen helped us ask the CEO of that company. He was very supportive of our work and arranged for an experienced underwater engineering company. The construction crew flew over to guide us. "

"A diver too?"

"Not just divers, but from your navy."

"Very good."

"Furthermore, for simple cracking dangers, we have several rescue plans and even brought a set of grouting equipment. I will ask Mr. Sun to come to you later. He is an expert in construction. You can study it and see if it is It’s not about delegating a few people to form two teams dedicated to protecting people in case of cracking.”

"OK."

…

After arranging the work of the diving team, Han Yu did not bother to take a shower or sleep, and walked to the tent of the 132nd Regiment with Staff Officer Dai and Yang Jianbo.

Some soldiers were washing, and some were squatting on the embankment to have breakfast.

Han Yu asked Captain Wu not to let the soldiers gather, and just stood in front of everyone and said with a smile: "Comrades, I am here to recruit. We are in urgent need of comrades with skills. As long as they meet our employment standards, they can stay, which means five There is no need to switch defenses with the main force after the day."

Yesterday, the military chief said that a unit of the 132nd Regiment would be deployed to assist the "Hong Kong Garrison" in the rescue effort. Everyone was very happy and excited.

Later, the team leader actually said that he would have to rotate and change defenses every five days. Everyone was suddenly not as happy as before.

Unexpectedly, in an unexpected turn of events, Battalion Commander Han from the "Hong Kong Garrison" actually came to the site for recruitment.

A soldier couldn't help raising his hand and asked: "Battle Commander Han, what skills do you need?"

"Mechanical repair, water and electricity, as long as there is technology, we need it."

"I know how to use electricity, Battalion Commander Han. I went to a technical school and am a level four electrician!"

"Okay, stand over here."

"yes!"

"I can repair cars. I repaired motorcycles and cars before joining the army."

"Talent, come here."

"Thank you, Battalion Commander Han!" The little soldier who had just climbed up was ecstatic. After running a few steps, he couldn't help but look back and smile: "Squad leader, I'm sorry, I'm on a business trip. Goodbye, squad leader!"

"Get out!" The squad leader was so jealous and angry that his teeth itched.

Seeing that two comrades could enjoy the hot and spicy food with the "Hong Kong Garrison" for a long time, everyone was eager to give it a try.

A soldier put down his lunch box and got up and asked: "Captain Han, I graduated from a medical school and studied medicine. Does this count as a skill?"

"Forget it, come here, ask Staff Officer Dai to register first, then register and report to Dr. Liang."

"yes!"

"I can be a bricklayer."

All the soldiers under his command wanted to run away. Captain Wu was very depressed and scolded: "Stop making trouble, you are just a plasterer, why are you joining in the fun?"

To everyone's surprise, Han Yu actually smiled and said: "He who knows how to do bricklaying is also a talent. Come here and report to Sun Gong later."

"Thank you, Battalion Commander Han. Company Commander, I'm sorry, I'm also on a business trip."

"Get out of here, get away from me."

Company Commander Wu didn't expect this damn thing to be so messy, so he made up his mind to deal with him later. He looked at the crowd and asked, "Is there anyone else who knows some skills and craftsmanship? Hurry up and sign up!"

"I."

"what can you do?"

"Company Commander, Battalion Commander Han, I am a chef. When I am not here to fight floods, I help in the kitchen almost every day."

Han Yu asked with a smile: "Can you cook?"

The soldier who had just climbed up laughed and said, "Yes, I can also make pasta."

"Okay, let's register first and report to our battalion's deputy company commander Zhang Wuya later."

"yes!"

"Captain Han, I can drive a loader!"

"Is it true or false? Don't talk nonsense!"

"I really know how to do it, but I just don't have the certificate."

"How did you know how to drive it?"

"My family is in a mining area, and my dad drives a loader. I knew how to drive it when I was fifteen years old. During the day, the foreman was watching, so my dad didn't dare to let me drive it. When I was on the night shift, no one cared about me. When my dad was sleepy, he drove a loader. Let me drive."

"Okay, you are one of the talents our battalion is in urgent need of. Register immediately. After registration, report to our battalion's deputy commander Hao."

"Captain Han, I can sing!"

A soldier stood up impatiently, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Captain Wu was so humiliated by him that he wanted to rush up and kick him.

Han Yu was also amused and couldn't help laughing: "Being able to sing is also a specialty, but our camp does not need literary and artistic talents for the time being."

The little soldier was very disappointed and could only squat down and continue eating.

The superiors attach so much importance to the Linghai Reserve Battalion, otherwise they would never have dispatched the first section of the 132nd Regiment and the diving unit to assist in the rescue. It is conceivable that the next rescue task will be very heavy.

It was precisely because of the heavy rescue mission ahead that Han Yu came to the 132nd Regiment camp to recruit on-site.

One company recruited eight people, including one who majored in industrial and civil construction. Although he had no construction experience, he could help Yao Gong prepare engineering materials.

The harvest was greater than expected.

Han Yu looked at the eight soldiers who were queuing up to register and said with a smile: "Company Commander Wu, your company is full of talents, crouching tiger, hidden dragon."

Although Captain Wu acted very angry just now, he was actually very happy in his heart. He sighed: "Today's soldiers are different from ours. Now they have at least junior high school education or above. Some soldiers have graduated from high school, and some have graduated from technical secondary schools." , those who graduated from vocational high school or technical school and have a skill.

Secretary Han, you may not believe it, but there are two college students in this group of soldiers! It is good to be educated, but it is more difficult to lead soldiers than before. You saw it just now, one by one, and they dared to open a dyeing workshop just by giving them a few colors! "

"Are the two college soldiers in your company?"

"There are only two college students in total. How could they stay in our company? As soon as the recruit training was completed, they were assigned to the division headquarters to work as civil servants."

…

PS: This civil servant is not that civil servant. He just works in an agency. He is still a soldier, but working under the eyes of the chief makes progress faster than the soldiers in the grassroots company.
