Riverside police

In the scorching sun, a convoy of three off-road vehicles drove on the Jingjiang Embankment.

During the flood fighting period, unrelated vehicles are not allowed to enter the embankment. I can imagine that the leaders in the car must be inspecting. Party members and cadres and basic militiamen who patrol embankments to check for dangers will cheer up as soon as they see a car coming. No matter how sunny or hot they are, they will go to check for possible dangers.

The convoy stopped and went, stopping every time it reached a dangerous section of the embankment. A few middle-aged men who could be identified as big leaders at a glance got out of the car and put on their straw hats. They looked here and there, watching and listening. Report from the entourage.

When the convoy reached section 102 # , it was blocked by a bamboo painted with red and white warning signs.

A few middle-aged people got out of the car and took a look and found a sign hanging on the bamboo that read "Grout the berm section, vehicles and pedestrians should go around it."

There is also a large sign erected on the left side of the embankment, and this sign has more content.

It clearly states that the embankment section is in danger of cracking and has just been grouted for emergency protection, followed by related matters that need to be paid attention to.

For example, it is necessary to observe whether there are cracks or water seepage, etc. It is emphasized that a dedicated person must be on duty 24 hours a day, and inspections must be conducted every hour.

Followed by the name and position of the local person in charge of the embankment section.

Finally, there are the signatures and contact parties of the three emergency construction units.

The emergency construction units were actually the Linghai Reserve Battalion of the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Unit 90428 of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and Unit 83104 of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!

"Chief, what should I do?" a staff member who looked like a secretary asked cautiously.

Just as the bespectacled leader was about to speak, an unkempt man ran over from a distance.

The staff rushed up to us and asked, "Comrade, have you secured the critical cracking situation here? Can the car pass by?"

"cannot!"

The man looked at the convoy in front of him and said with a grimace: "Leader, it's not that I won't let you pass, it's really that you can't pass. The People's Liberation Army came to support us in fighting floods. Grouting will be done at the stated time, and inspections will be carried out at the stated time. Just check at what time, it will be sooner rather than later. People are so responsible, and I signed the military order, so I have to be even more responsible."

The leader standing in the middle came up and asked curiously: "Comrade, what military order did you sign?"

"So many cracks were patched up by others. They ensured the quality of the rescue projects and had engineering documents. I am responsible for observing and maintaining, and I also signed the engineering documents. I asked you to drive the car over and put the If a crack that has just been repaired opens due to pressure, who will be responsible for it?"

"When will this section of the embankment be able to pass through?"

"People say that if the weather is good and it's so hot every day, you can pass the train in half a month. If it rains every three days, you can't pass the train even if it's a month."

"When cracks are discovered, it depends on whether they are big or serious."

"Of course it's serious. If it's not serious, can the county ask for military support?" the man asked rhetorically, and said while gesticulating: "There were dozens of cracks in one go. The thickest cracks can fit a fist in, and the deepest cracks can hold a fist." It’s more than two meters long, and water has already seeped into the embankment!”

The chief asked: "How did you get protection at that time?"

"The troops came to support, and even the divers came. They went down to seal the cracks first, stuffed the cracks with wooden plugs, and stuffed them with mud! They brought a big boat with a crane on it to help us drive piles into the water. I made a row, drove the piles and stuffed sandbags into them, hundreds of sandbags were stuffed in at once.”

"Then what?"

"Then... then we started draining the water. We first stuffed the pipe into the crack, pumped air into it with an air compressor, drained out all the water and started grouting. As of yesterday, we had already done it three times.

Today is the last time. I will fill the slurry today. When the slurry inside is dry, I will fish out all the sandbags that were filled in at the beginning and pull out the wooden plugs to see if water will leak into the embankment. I have to wait until there is no water leakage. It is not completed until there is no water seepage. "

"What time will the People's Liberation Army for the construction work come today?"

"almost there."

The man raised his arm and looked at his watch. After thinking about it, he said: "Boss, it's really impossible to pass here. It's hot on the embankment. You guys, please turn around and go back two or three kilometers to get down to the embankment. You are a small car, drive fast." , and went around it in a while."

The chief did not get on the bus. He looked at the big sign next to him and asked, "Comrade, are you Jiang Chunhui, the militia battalion commander of Huaya Village?"

"So what!"

Jiang Chunhui took out half a pack of crumpled cigarettes and muttered: "If you say you can't pass, you can't pass, and the worst case scenario is that you will be dismissed. I have been on the embankment since June 26, and I have never been home until now. I am the militia battalion commander." I don’t want to do it anymore.”

"Comrade Jiang Chunhui, don't get me wrong, we are not asking for your accommodation. We will turn around later and go around under the embankment."

"Leader, are you looking for our township chief? The township chief is in front, a little far away from here."

"If we don't look for your township chief, we will look for you."

"What do you want from me? I'm just a village cadre, not a national cadre."

"We are very curious about your observation and maintenance of this dangerous section. The sign says there are inspection records. Can you let us take a look?"

"Are you here to check?"

"We can't even talk about inspections. Even if they were inspected, they would only be inspecting your township chief."

"See, it's not a secret."

As long as all the people who come to inspect are leaders, they don't come every two days, but almost every day.

Jiang Chunhui was a little impatient after being inspected. He ran back to the hay shed and got an inspection book, hoping that these senior cadres would finish reading it and leave early.

The chief took the inspection book and looked through it, and found that the "unkempt" militia battalion commander in front of him was very responsible. He basically inspected it every hour as required by the emergency construction unit.

A leader accompanying him saw that Jiang Chunhui was a little impatient, but he could understand Jiang Chunhui's mood. After all, he had been standing on the embankment for so long, and the conditions were very difficult. Not only did he have no money, but he even had to receive food from his family, which made him feel very uncomfortable. The subordinate opened the car door and got a bottle of mineral water for Jiang Chunhui. After thinking about it, he took out a cigarette and handed one to Jiang Chunhui.

As expected, he is a great leader and he is smoking good!

Jiang Chunhui clicked on it and took a nice sip. In his heart, he had a much higher evaluation of the big leaders in front of him. At least they were approachable, unlike some big leaders who were arrogant and arrogant.

"Leader, don't worry. My house is right under the embankment, and my wife, children, and children are all down there. If others dare to be irresponsible, how dare I be irresponsible?"

Jiang Chunhui flicked the cigarette ashes and pointed to a telegraph pole in the distance: "That's my rice field over there. If the levee breaks, my field will be the first to be flooded!"

"Comrade Jiang Chunhui, thank you for your hard work. You are a competent militia battalion commander."

"What kind of job are you qualified for? I have an old man and a young man, so I can't leave. If I could leave, I would have gone out to work a long time ago, so I wouldn't be this thankless militia battalion commander."

"..."

Everyone has the right to pursue a prosperous life.

Being a village cadre doesn't make much money, so it's normal for people to want to go out to work. Facing Jiang Chunhui who no longer wants to be a militia battalion commander, the leader was speechless for a while.

At this time, the roar of the diesel engine came from the river.

Turning around and looking around, a paddle boat of about two hundred tons slowly came over.

There were several red flags on the boat, and several shirtless soldiers wearing life jackets stood on the bow.

"Here we come, the troops are here! Leader, I'm sorry, I won't accompany you." Jiang Chunhui threw away the cigarette butt and trotted over to meet them.

The people on the boat threw the cable, and Jiang Chunhui helped tie it up, and then pulled the soldiers on the boat ashore.

"Battle Commander Jiang, what's going on with those cars?"

"I was supposed to be here for inspection. I wanted to pass through here, but I didn't let him."

"thank you."

"I should be the one thanking you, Xiao Du. Look, not only did the cars not pass by me, I didn't even let anyone pass me by. There were as many grouting holes yesterday as there are today. I'm responsible for the missing one!"

"Captain Jiang, I can rest assured that you are with me."

"Get to work quickly, it's too hot."

It was hot on the embankment, and it was even hotter on the boat. It was like a hot plate, otherwise Du Yuan wouldn't be shirtless and wearing a life jacket.

In the afternoon, there are still three embankment sections that need to be replenished and two embankment sections that need to be inspected. You have to act quickly, otherwise you will miss the movie in the evening.

Du Yuan ignored the leader who seemed to be inspecting, opened the briefcase issued by the "Hong Kong Garrison", took out the emergency construction drawings, spread them out, and compared the drawings to find the grouting holes one by one.

He drilled all these holes. He remembers how many there are and their approximate locations.

However, there are too many dangers of cracking to protect, and there are many holes to be drilled. It is easy to forget, so it is safer to check with the drawings.

While he was asking about the location of the crack and the inspection status of the 500-meter section of the embankment, he and the two subordinates later assigned to him by Battalion Commander Han and Battalion Commander Li pulled out the hole plugs one by one, and then stood up and took the "Hong Kong Garrison Troops" "The grouting pipes handed over by the old squad leader were inserted into the grouting holes one by one.

The grouting pipes are all oil pipes used on ships. They are made of copper and are relatively strong.

After inserting the tank slurry pipe, use a hose to connect the "slurry distributor", and finally use a thick pipe to connect the "slurry distributor" to the grouting pump on the ship.

The roar of the machine sounded again, and the mud that had been mixed on the way here began to be poured into the embankment continuously...

Taking advantage of the gap between grouting, Du Yuan took out a stack of engineering materials and ran to the militia battalion commander's straw shed to fill them out as soon as possible.

The chief had never seen such emergency construction before. When the militia battalion commander was not paying attention, he passed through the "emergency protection area" that was closed to traffic and walked into the grass shed to see what the little soldiers were doing.

You won’t know it until you see it, but you will be surprised when you see it.

They are really doing engineering work, and the engineering information is very comprehensive!

The engineering overview, hydrology and meteorology, engineering geology... are dazzling.

For example, the groundwater in the rescue project area is pore-type phreatic, locally slightly pressurized, mainly found in the Quaternary-Holocene silty clay, silt and silt sand layers, with a permeability coefficient between 10-4 and 10-6. It makes people look confused.

The embankment grouting construction plan, technical briefing and other information can be roughly understood.

What is being poured is not ordinary mud. From the material point of view, they use natural silty clay. Its plasticity index should be 10~25%, the clay content should be controlled at 20~45%, and the powder content should be controlled at 40%. ~70%, the sand content is less than 10%, the organic salt content is less than 2%, the soluble salt content is less than 8%...

Every other line is like a mountain, completely incomprehensible.

One thing is for sure, they are professional.

Many documents are signed by engineers from several units, including engineers from the local water conservancy department.

It even has the signature of the county magistrate and the official seal of the county people’s government!

The leader gently put down the information and asked curiously: "Comrade, are you engineers?"

Du Yuan was so focused on filling out the form just now that he thought it was his comrades who were looking. But when he heard someone asking him, he realized that it was not the case. He didn't care to read at all and said without thinking: "We are not engineers, we are airborne troops."

"Can the airborne troops do engineering?"

"Learn by doing. Please don't touch my information. I just sorted it out."

"sorry."

At this time, the militia battalion commander ran over and asked dumbfoundedly: "Leader, what did I just say? Why did you come here without saying hello! You really can't walk over there. If you step on the grouting hole, we will What should I do if I can’t find the grouting opening?”

"I'm sorry, I affected your work, I apologize."

"What's the use of apologizing? Let's go, let's go. If you don't go, I'll call someone!"

Who can you call and who can drive me away?

The chief found it very interesting, but seeing that they were so serious and responsible, he didn't want to affect their work anymore, so he was driven back to the emergency area and got in the car to ask the driver to detour.

Unexpectedly, after checking along the way, I discovered that several embankment sections had large signs left by the Linghai Reserve Battalion of the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region, Unit 90428, and Unit 83104.

The dangers we protect are different, but the seriousness and responsibility are the same.

What surprised the chief the most was that when he passed by a large pit, he suddenly discovered that there were several signs planted around the pit.

Pay attention to safety when digging into deep pits!

The pit is deep and the water is deep, it is easy to drown!

…

These are all warnings, and are signed by those three units.

Since it is an emergency, it must be in a hurry.

Those who can think of these things during the rescue, who can be so professional, so serious and responsible, and check all the way, it seems that they are the three units signed on the warning sign.

The leader became more and more curious as he watched, and asked: "Comrade Zhou Guang, which unit is closest to here?"

An accompanying officer said without thinking: "Reporting to the commander, the 404th Division command post and the 133rd Regiment of the 404th Division are closest to here, and the 132nd Regiment is on the other side of the river."

"Which army did the soldiers who rushed to protect the people who were in danger of cracking come from this afternoon?"

"Looking at the big sign, the code name of the emergency construction unit should be the 132nd Regiment of the 404th Division."

"The airborne troops are involved in emergency construction, which is interesting. Do you have the contact information for the commander of the 404th Division?"

"have."

"Call and ask."

"yes!"

The accompanying officer took out his cell phone and quickly dialed a number.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the call was connected, and I heard someone on the other end of the phone asking: "Director Zhou, you are a busy man, why did you remember to call me!"

"Commander Jiang, I am not far from your command post. I thought of you when I saw the numerical code of your unit."

"Accompany your provincial leaders to inspect the work?"

"Um."

"Pity."

"What's the pity?" Director Zhou subconsciously looked up at the leader, looking a little embarrassed.

Commander Jiang did not know that the No. 1 commander of Beihu Province was with his old friend in the Beihu Military Region. He laughed and said: "The Yangtze River Defense Chief has transferred the 'Hong Kong Garrison' to the rescue through his superiors. The military has asked our division to take charge of the 'Garrison in Hong Kong'." force'."

"The Hong Kong Garrison? Commander Jiang, the Hong Kong Garrison is here, why didn't I know!"

"This garrison in Hong Kong is not that garrison in Hong Kong. The garrison in Hong Kong we manage is stationed in Linghai Port in Jiangnan Province. There is a Hong Kong road there and it is close to their camp, so it is called the garrison in Hong Kong."

"You scared me. I thought the Hong Kong Garrison was really coming."

"This is nothing to be shocked about. The Hong Kong Garrison is still an army, but it is of a higher level. If I were asked to choose, I would definitely choose the Hong Kong Garrison in Jiangnan, not the Hong Kong Garrison in Hong Kong."

"Mr. Jiang, are you kidding me?"

"Director Zhou, have I ever joked with you?"

Mr. Jiang walked out of the pergola, looked at the other side of the river and smiled proudly: "I was not kidding just now when I told you it was a pity."

Director Zhou asked dumbfounded: "What on earth do you want to say?"

"If you don't come with your provincial leaders for inspection, I can ask you to go across the river to Linghai Hotel for dinner, and I can also ask you to stay at Linghai Hotel."

"What about Linghai Hotel, what about Linghai Hotel? Are there any hotels or guesthouses nearby?"

"It didn't happen before, but now it does. Yesterday I went to try it under the guise of inspecting my work. The food was really good. It was a buffet with meat and vegetables, seven or eight varieties, you can eat whatever you want. But I still gave them some advice. , the taste is bland and sweet, it would be better if it could be saltier and spicy.”

"..."

"Director Zhou, I'm not kidding you. The accommodation conditions in Linghai Hotel are not bad, standard rooms, air conditioning, hot water, and you can take a shower. It's a pity that I can't leave the command post for too long, otherwise I will definitely have to stay with them more Check for a few days.”

"Really, I...I'm not far from your command post. Are you at the command post now?"

"Here, are you planning to come over?"

Seeing the leader nod, Director Zhou said in a low voice: "Well, we'll be there soon."

Teacher Jiang smiled and said: "Welcome, welcome, Director Zhou is welcome to come to our division to inspect the work."

…

The old friend kept talking about running trains, and the chief heard clearly.

Director Zhou was not very worried. After all, he belonged to the 105th Army and was not in the same system as the Provincial Military Region. He would not accept the leadership of the local party committee and government, but he still explained: "Chief, Commander Jiang likes to joke."

The chief suddenly remembered something and muttered: "He may not be joking."

"not kidding?"

"I've heard of the 'Hong Kong Garrison', but it's a pity that they are on the other side. Otherwise, I would have stopped by to take a look."

"Chief, you've heard of it too!"

"A reserve battalion of the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region was established on the basis of a road and bridge company in a county-level city. The mechanized construction equipment is very complete and advanced, including two large excavators. It was used to protect the dangerous situation at Laomiao Gate in Lingjiang County. It played a huge role in the dangerous situation in the Yangliu section of Anggong County."

The leader rolled down the window and looked at the other side. After thinking about it, he said, "Xiao Yang, aren't there several domestic excavator manufacturers that have donated more than a dozen excavators?"

"Yes."

The secretary sitting in the co-pilot hurriedly turned around and reported: "Guizhou Mining donated six units, Jogdu Kobelco donated four units, and Hefei Hitachi donated two units. The defense director fought for and fought for the National Defense Directorate. , successfully obtained two units, one was donated by Guizhou Mining, and the other was donated by Hefei-Hitachi, which is a joint venture and the excavators produced by Hefei-Hitachi are of relatively good quality."

It doesn't seem like much, but actually people donated a lot.

Hitachi, a leader in domestic construction machinery manufacturing, only produces 600 units a year. It can be said that they have tried their best.

The chief was silent for a moment and said: "Call Fangzhi. When the unit donated by Hefei Hitachi arrives, it will be equipped for the Linghai Reserve Battalion."

"Equip it to the Linghai Reserve Battalion?"

"Good steel should be used on the cutting edge. Besides, others won't want our excavators."

"yes!"

…

PS: I’m just on the road today, so I have some time to write.

I have a meeting tomorrow morning and have to travel in the afternoon. Updates cannot be guaranteed. I would like to apologize to all my brothers and sisters in advance.
