The Linghai Reserve Battalion has a lot of equipment but not many personnel.

For example, the earthmoving construction team and the earthmoving transportation team of the First Company, the main force in emergency rescue construction, have now been temporarily organized into two earthmoving construction teams based on the needs of emergency rescue and protection. Including 16 tractor drivers who do not have tractors for the time being, and eight flood control and soil control experts from several villages and towns along the Linghai River, there are only 43 people in total.

Another example is the party member assault team that assists in piling on the shore or on the water. There are only 19 people including deputy instructor Xu Mingyuan.

If we only look at the number of people, at this stage only two assault boats have the most water search and rescue companies and logistics support companies.

The water search and rescue company has a company headquarter of four people and three detachments of fifteen people each, totaling forty-nine people in total.

On the earthmoving side, a dozen tow truck drivers can help.

They have been working with the Road and Bridge Company for a long time, and have already formed a tacit understanding with the leaders such as Sun Youyi and Zou Xiangyu, and the excavator and loader drivers such as Master Zhou.

Almost all of them can whistle, wave small red flags, and serve as safety officers and commanders of on-site construction. Several of them can even drive loaders and bulldozers of the Road and Bridge Company.

The eight flood control soil experts recruited by Yao Gong can't help in emergency construction, but they, like Ma Jintao's water search and rescue company, will not be idle.

In order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, the county was determined to organize the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people.

People dragged their families with them when they evacuated, and the roads were blocked.

Now that we are back home, everyone is eager to return, causing several main roads to be even more congested than when they evacuated.

Even if the people under the dike can get home before dark, they still have a lot to do after they return. For example, looking for chickens, ducks, and even pigs that were running around that I didn't have time to take away, or making beds, etc.

This directly leads to the fact that there are not many people guarding the more than 90 kilometers of Yangtze River embankment for the time being!

In flood control, patrolling embankments and checking for danger is an extremely important task.

Only through constant and careful inspections can we discover whether there are loopholes, falls, slopes, cracks, water seepage, pipe surges, collapses and other dangerous situations in the dam. If there is no inspection and cannot be discovered in time, no matter how professional the rescue team is, it will be useless.

Previously, there was a major danger that the main embankment in the Yangliu Village section was about to collapse and burst. If you evacuated, you had to evacuate. There was no point in holding on any longer anyway.

Now that the danger has been eliminated, we can no longer fail to defend.

The direct water-retaining embankment section in Angong County is very long. There are currently only more than a hundred party members and cadres and basic militiamen on the main embankment. On average, each person has to guard one kilometer.

Patrolling the embankment is not just as simple as walking back and forth on the embankment and looking back and forth. It requires a comprehensive and detailed inspection by walking.

Use your eyes to see, your ears to hear, your feet to step on, and your hands to touch.

Use a ruler or water probe to measure areas where danger may occur.

Use a shovel or sickle to clear the weeds on the body and foot of the embankment to test the softness and moisture in the soil, and even protect yourself from common dangers alone.

Han Yu, Lao Ge, Hao Qiusheng and other main leaders of the Linghai Reserve Battalion did not want to fall short. Starting last night, they organized personnel who did not need to participate in the earthwork construction and took over the five-kilometer embankment at both ends of the construction area. XCMG and Yao Gong Full command.

Facts have proved that it is completely different whether the team organizes personnel to patrol the embankment to check for danger.

As of three o'clock this afternoon, a total of nineteen minor dangers have been discovered.

For example, there were slight cracks in some sections of the dike, slight water seepage in some sections, and the foot of the dike on the side of the dike section not facing the water was soaked in more than one meter of water due to the low terrain.

There is also a section of the embankment that has been in disrepair for a long time, and the embankment body is relatively thin...

According to the situation reported by the officers and soldiers in charge of each embankment section, Han Yu immediately organized forces to rush for protection.

Du Yuan, the "little bricklayer" of the 132th Regiment, had something to do. As soon as he received the order, he boarded 001 together with the "old squad leader" of the logistics support unit and the "chiefs" of the naval diving unit, and took the man who had just been lifted from a barge. A machine that looked like a large water pump and a pile of steel pipes went straight to the section of the embankment that was in danger of cracking.

Mr. Wu, the "boss officer" in charge of the embankment section, had been waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw 001 arriving, he led his subordinates to help.

The large water pump is very heavy, and the boom on 001 cannot lift it. It needs a big guy to lift it up the embankment.

"Comrades, work harder!"

"Uncle Zhu, the wires will be connected later. We need to check the body and feet of the embankment first."

"Captain Fan, when the equipment is loaded onto the embankment, drive slower as before. We need to take an X-ray of this section of the embankment!"

Gong Yao is now like a firefighter. He needs to check the danger here first and arrange how to rescue him. Then he has to go to the next section of the embankment where there is danger.

Captain Fan knew that he was busy and raised the intercom: "Lao Zhu, Xiao Chen, hurry up and help, move quickly!"

"receive."

Zhu Baogen and Xiao Chen didn't bother to pull the cable anymore and hurried to the stern of the boat to help lift the mud pump to the shore.

This mud pump was not bought in the camp, but dismantled from the Sanwu sand mining ship that Han Yu led people to seize together with the Water Supervision and Law Enforcement Brigade and the Port Supervision Bureau.

According to relevant regulations, the Port Supervisory Authority has full authority to seize and dismantle "three-no ships".

If Binjiang’s family planning management is the most stringent in the country, then the Linghai Port Supervision Office of the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau is also the strictest in the country in its investigation and punishment of “Three No Vessels” and illegal sand mining vessels!

No matter how much money you spent to build this boat, or who you ask to intercede, as long as it is discovered, it will be temporarily detained and then apply for dismantling according to the procedures.

The principle of sand pump and grout pump is the same.

It's just that the uses are different, one is mainly for pumping, and the other is mainly for filling.

With more people and strength, the pump and a pile of pipes were quickly lifted ashore.

Yang Daming and other members of the mechanical maintenance team seized the time to install it, while Du Yuan picked up a shovel and rushed down the embankment. Together with the veteran squad leaders of the "Hong Kong Garrison", he dug soil, fetched water, and stirred the mud needed to protect the dangerous cracking.

Diving team leader Feng Qingsong and several divers were crowded in the command cabin of 001, curiously watching how Yao Gong used the underwater surveying and mapping system to take X-rays of this section of the dike.

"Yao Gong, what is this?"

"This is the river bed, and this side is the former river beach."

"If there was no flood, would the river beach be exposed to the water?"

"Well, usually the dry embankments are some distance away from the water, and the longest distance is three to four hundred meters. Even though it's all water now, there may have been a lot of crops planted under our feet in the past."

"So much water has risen!"

"yes."

Gong Yao pointed to the computer monitor and continued: "Captain Feng, this is the dry embankment. Judging from the report of the embankment inspection team, there are several cracks on the embankment. No water seepage or leakage was found. It may just be surface cracking.

But we cannot rule out the possibility that the cracks on the water side are blocked by aquatic plants, silt, or dead fish and shrimps. We have encountered this situation before, so you should dive down and check carefully later. "

It’s good to have advanced equipment. You can see the underwater topography on your computer.

Feng Qingsong decided to go down in person later, stared at the computer monitor for a while, and asked: "Get off the boat or the shore?"

"Secretary Han has told us to get off the shore if you can. To ensure safety, you guys will add a safety rope later. Captain Fan, Lao Zhu and Xiao Chen will guard you on the river."

"OK."

After inspecting the underwater conditions of this section of the dike, Gong Yao used the walkie-talkie to notify Captain Fan to dock.

The diving equipment was very heavy, but the few divers in the team did not need the help of the "Hong Kong Garrison" on the shore. They moved it to the shore by themselves.

Everyone understands it.

Du Yuan, the "little bricklayer" of the 132th Regiment, was more understanding. While digging the hole vigorously, he said proudly: "Old squad leader, it is a matter of safety. Our parachutes of the airborne troops will not be folded by others."

Zhang Yucai, a veteran from the Linghai Public Security Bureau, smiled and asked, "Have you ever flown on a plane or skydived?"

"No."

"Then what are you bragging about?"

"Old squad leader, I'm a new recruit. Once I pass the training and am assigned to a combat unit, I can parachute from a plane. Besides, our airborne troops not only parachute, we also land organically."

"You kid, you have to be mentally prepared. It's very possible that you won't even be able to land on the plane."

"impossible."

"Why is it impossible!" A veteran from the inspection brigade of Linghai Transportation Bureau raised his head and smiled: "Xiao Du, do you know what kind of soldier I was before?"

"What soldiers?" Du Yuan asked curiously.

The veteran pointed at Feng Qingsong and others who were busy on the embankment, and said with a smile: "I used to be in the navy like them. When I joined the army, I was very happy and excited, thinking that I could board a big warship and sail around the sea.

As a result, after the recruit training, I was assigned to a warehouse. Let alone a warship, I couldn't even see the sea. Our unit was farther from the sea than my hometown was from the sea. "

"The navy has never seen the sea!"

"This is normal."

Another veteran of the "Hong Kong Garrison" came over and said with a smile: "Xiao Du, you are in the Air Force, I was in the Air Force before. I am better than Lao Xu. I see airplanes every day, but I have never been on one. Hahaha."

Du Yuan asked curiously: "Squad leader, are you an Air Force ground crew member?"

"It's not ground support, we belong to logistics."

"Then what do you do in the army?"

"The station production team says they have been in the Air Force for four years, but in fact they have been raising pigs and growing vegetables for four years in the army."

"Monitor, you are so unlucky."

"What's so bad about this? You don't understand it now, but you will know it later. Being assigned to a production team and being able to raise pigs and vegetables is a great job."

"It's like being assigned to the cooking class?"

"My life as a child was more nourishing than that of the cooking class, but it was a bit dirty cleaning the pig pens and picking up manure and watering the ground every day."

At first I thought the reserve force was similar to the militia.

Only after dealing with them did I know that the reserve forces are very powerful, especially the "Hong Kong Garrison". Not only do they have many old squad leaders, but they also have many "chiefs"!

Du Yuan raised his head and glanced at the head of the "Hong Kong Garrison" who was talking to the chief of the navy on the embankment, and asked curiously: "Squad leader, who is the oldest and highest-ranking member of your battalion?"

"Most of the cadres are from the main battalion, deputy battalion or company, and their ranks are not very high. In terms of military experience, Guo Weitao, the deputy company commander of the third company, may have the longest military experience. He became a soldier at the age of five. He was transferred to the army at the age of 25. He has been working for twenty years, and his military experience may be longer than that of your regiment commander, so your battalion commander will call him the old squad leader."

"Where's Battalion Commander Han?"

"Secretary Han has never been a soldier. Secretary Han used to be a militiaman."

While chatting about the gossip in the camp, a veteran suddenly remembered something and said with excitement: "In terms of his experience as a soldier, Liu Ke from our Environmental Protection Bureau is the most legendary."

A veteran asked curiously: "Why is your Section Chief Liu such a legend?"

"I used to be in the Navy, Lao Wu was in the Army, and you used to be in the Air Force. Our Section Chief Liu is very good. He doesn't have a long military experience, but he has been in the Navy, Air Force and Army."

"It's true or false, how is it possible!"

"Why is it impossible? When he was first in the Army, their troops needed to be equipped with radars, so they sent him to the Air Force's military academy and served as an Air Force cadet for three years. I don't know how it happened. When he was assigned to graduate, he did not return to the old army and was assigned When I arrived at a radar station in the Navy, I worked there until I was transferred to other jobs. I have all the experience in the navy, army and air force. You can tell me if I am good or not."

While they were chatting, the leader of the diving team went into the water himself.

Everyone wanted to go up and see how they dived. Mr. Wu, the "boss officer" in charge of this section of the embankment, shouted: "Come up, two people, bring shovels and speed."

"yes!"

Du Yuan didn't want to be overtaken by the old squad leaders and climbed up the embankment in one breath.

Mr. Wu pointed to the line just drawn on the embankment and said, "Start digging from here and dig an inverted triangle trench."

"Yes!" Du Yuan ignored others diving and started digging quickly.

Mr. Wu also didn't care to see how the young man was digging. He took the intercom from a naval cadet and asked: "Captain Feng, Captain Feng, how is the underwater situation?"

"The current is not very fast and everything is normal underwater."

"Can you feel the crack?"

"Touching."

"Be careful and pull the safety rope if necessary."

"I know."

After nearly twenty minutes of careful inspection, as Yao Gong had expected, the crack was relatively deep and was only blocked by silt and aquatic plants. Although water does not seep into the embankment body or even into the embankment now, the silt and aquatic plants cannot withstand flood erosion.

Mr. Wu understood the situation and raised the intercom again: "Team Feng, seal the cracks first and come up after sealing."

"OK."

"Xiao Xu, are you ready for the mud?"

"Mr. Wu, do you think this is enough?"

"This is not enough, mix more, and move quickly."

"yes!"

…

After more than an hour of intense work by more than 20 people, the mud mixed with soil from the local area was ready. It was visually estimated that it was eight or nine cubic meters.

The grouting trench on the embankment has already been dug.

Mr. Wu was worried that the trough dug along the cracks alone would not be filled with mud, so he asked two reservists from the mechanical maintenance team to insert six steel pipes.

When I first inserted it into the embankment, the steel pipe was blocked by soil. I immediately pulled it out and cleaned it, and then inserted it through the previous hole.

These steel pipes are all processed, and the lower half of the pipe is filled with pencil-thick holes so that mud can be poured into the cracks in the embankment.

everything's ready.

Mr. Wu nodded with Yang Daming, Zhang Jiangkun’s eldest disciple.

Yang Daming immediately inserted the crank handle of the diesel engine into the crank hole and shook it vigorously a few times. The diesel engine driving the mud pump suddenly emitted black smoke and started to rotate.

The mud in the large pit under the embankment is pumped up along the pipe, and under the action of the pump, it is injected into the embankment along the special steel pipe.

The sealing measures on the embankment were not done well, and in fact they were not done well either.

In addition, this was the first time that the Linghai Reserve Battalion used grouting to protect against cracking. They were not mentally prepared for the pressure of grouting from the mud pump. Everyone, including Mr. Wu and Feng Qingsong, was caught off guard and was splashed everywhere. Mud sprayed from head to toe, and in the blink of an eye they all turned into clay figures.

"Mr. Wu, are you okay?"

"fine!"

Mr. Wu said it was okay, but actually something was wrong.

My mouth was open just now, and it was full of mud.

He quickly ran to the side and vomited. After vomiting, he opened the kettle and rinsed his mouth. He rinsed his mouth several times, then touched his face and said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing to be under great pressure. If the pressure is not great, you won't be able to swallow the mud."

Feng Qingsong quickly asked his subordinates to move the diving equipment filled with mud to a distance. Looking at Mr. Wu’s "five-colored face", he reminded: "Mr. Wu, we should stay away from the pump. If the joint of the pipe suddenly breaks, it will be very serious." dangerous."

"Okay, you didn't hear me, please stay away."

"Mr. Wu, I'll keep an eye on it from here."

"Safety first, obey orders."

Yang Daming wanted to say that these pipes were used for sand mining in the past, and the interfaces were very strong and reliable, but when he thought that it was really not a big deal to be rained on by mud here, he simply obeyed the order and stayed away.

Mr. Wu felt uneasy after thinking about it, and shouted again: "Comrades, just be dirty if you are dirty, and don't use the water here to wash. The water here is not clean, and this is a schistosomiasis area, do you know?"

"clear."

"Fortunately, the cigarettes are not wet. Come on, come here, smokers. Let the machine fill it slowly. Let's have a cigarette first."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu!"

The old chief of the "Hong Kong Garrison" smokes good cigarettes. Even Navy Lieutenant Colonel Feng Qingsong likes to cooperate with the boss officer of the "Hong Kong Garrison".
