Riverside police

The escort was very fast and efficient, but the officers and soldiers participating in the battle were not as relaxed as they seemed on the surface.

To "load and unload" so many sandbags in such a short period of time requires a lot of physical exertion on both the people on the boat and the people on the shore, and everyone is exhausted.

When Du Yuan and other officers and soldiers of the 132nd Regiment insisted on transferring the remaining sandbags ashore, Han Yu immediately ordered Xu Mingyuan and other personnel who were soaked in the flood to perform rescue missions to get on the boat and take a bath immediately.

This area can be said to be a "flood plain". Along the way, there are not only human and animal feces floating on the water, but also many dead pigs and sheep!

The water is contaminated, and if you don’t take a shower quickly and don’t wipe it properly with soap when taking a shower, you can easily become infected with germs.

Considering that we have come here, we can’t just leave like this.

Han Yu asked Captain Fan and Zhu Baogen to sail around the "isolated island" in 001, and assisted XCMG to use the underwater detection system on 001 to take an X-ray of the entire embankment.

The settlement is very large and the navigation conditions are not good. This workload is huge and it will take ten hours at the fastest to complete.

Han Yu couldn't just wait here, so he called Chen Zikun using the high-frequency radio station 001 and asked Chen Zikun and Xiao Gong to drive the Yangtze River Public Security Boat 110 to pick him up.

While waiting for the Yangtze River Police 110 to pick him up, he and Political Commissar Yang walked along the muddy path and followed Captain Zheng to the regiment command post located about 500 meters away from the embankment.

You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t come to see it, but you would be surprised to see it.

Of the seven standing committee members in the regiment, only one was on duty at the command post. The other six standing committee members, including Commander Zheng, were all on the embankment fighting the rising floods.

In the past twenty-four hours, five officers and soldiers have fallen.

Two of them had a high fever of 40 degrees and were receiving infusions at the town health center.

One fainted on the embankment and was carried back by the soldiers.

One stepped on glass during the rescue operation and suffered a seven-eight-centimeter-long wound on the sole of his foot. It bled a lot and he just went to the village clinic for bandage...

Crotch rot, diarrhea, colds, that’s more.

Captain Zheng briefly introduced the situation and said with a wry smile: "It's the same with the armed police. Although the comrades are very tired and many are even sick and injured, it's worth it as long as we can hold on."

Political Commissar Yang felt very uncomfortable and subconsciously looked at Han Yu.

How could Han Yu not know what Political Commissar Yang wanted to say, and whispered: "Captain Zheng, let the sick comrades and wounded come with us. The conditions over there are better, with doctors, nurses and medicine."

"Okay, I'll trouble you."

"No trouble."

"Then there are sandbags like those just now. Can you send us a few more boats?"

"No problem. We will try to deliver 10,000 bags to you every day, but our manpower is limited. After the goods are delivered, you will need to arrange for officers and soldiers to assist in loading and unloading."

"Loading and unloading is a trivial matter. Don't be afraid of your jokes. What we need most now are emergency supplies."

"The problem of materials should not be big. People across the country are now supporting Beihu in flood control. The reason why your flood control materials are tight is mainly because it is difficult to transport them."

Han Yu opened his briefcase, took out the "channel map" drawn when he took it out, and continued: "Actually, we are not only here to help you block the passage today, but also to dredge and mark the channel. Our water navigation commander has already sent ten The Municipal Defense Office has reported it, and the city will definitely organize a fleet to continuously transfer emergency and disaster relief materials here."

Once the channel for transporting supplies is opened, this place will no longer be an isolated island.

Captain Zheng said happily: "That's great, thank you!"

Although he no longer had to worry about supplies, Han Yu couldn't be happy. He hesitated and said: "Captain Zheng, the reason why I didn't go to the town government or talk to Mayor Shen in detail just now is mainly because there are some things I couldn't talk to him about. Even if you say it, you can’t tell him.”

"What words?"

"Political Commissar, you better say it."

Political Commissar Yang didn't know how to speak, but it was about the safety of more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians and he couldn't do it. He could only bite the bullet and said: "Old Zheng, it's raining non-stop. It's not only raining here, but it's also raining over there in Hanwu." , even the upper reaches are lower.”

Captain Zheng said without hesitation: "So what next? As long as there is a steady stream of emergency supplies, we can raise the water! The reason why the people's embankments in front were not held and the reason why tens of thousands of people evacuated here is not because of us and The cadres and the masses have not tried their best, mainly because they don’t have supplies, so it doesn’t matter what they want.”

"Materials are one thing, but...but..."

"But what is?"

"How high are you building the embankment here?"

"One meter five."

Political Commissar Yang stared at him and asked: "Even if there is a steady supply of supplies, how high can you go?"

Captain Zheng was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Political Commissar Yang took a water area map from Han Yu and spread it in front of him. He pointed at the map and said solemnly: "Our large troops are stationed at the tuning port where the South Dike of Jingjiang River and the Bayi Dike meet. The reason why we are stationed here is It's because this is the most dangerous place.

This section of the Jingjiang River runs north-south and makes a sharp turn at the tuning entrance. The flood flows here because it is blocked by Jingjiang South Levee and Bayi Levee, so it cannot vent smoothly.

If the Jingjiang South Levee, Bayi Levee or Tiaoxiankou Gate cannot be defended, the flood will not only wash away several towns on the other side of Shishou and the Jingjiang Flood Diversion Project Area of ​​Angong, but will also rush along the Huarong River towards Dongting Lake. It flooded several districts and counties in the Dongting Lake Basin of Nanhu Province. "

Captain Zheng looked at the map and asked: "You are well equipped. Whether you can hold it or not is your business. What does it have to do with us?"

"No matter how good our equipment is, we can only protect one or two dangerous situations. It is impossible to repair hundreds of kilometers of dry embankments overnight. Therefore, whether we can defend it depends not on our emergency rescue commandos, but on the defense forces of the districts and counties along the line. Cadres and the masses.”

Political Commissar Yang paused, and then said: "What Xianyu and I really want to say is that the location of the village you are guarding directly affects flood control. If you evacuate and abandon the guard, you can reduce the impact of Jingjiang South Levee and Bayi The pressure on the levee can even reduce the flood control pressure on the Jingjiang levee."

Captain Zheng asked in surprise: "We want to divert the flood water here!"

Some things should not be said nonsense.

Han Yu hurriedly said: "Captain Zheng, what Political Commissar Yang said are only the opinions of flood control experts, but judging from the current situation, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"But we have been guarding it for so many days, and the cadres and people in the town have been guarding it for even longer. If we really divert the flood here, where will so many people go? This is their home!"

"If we really get to that point, we may have to sacrifice our small family to protect everyone. And this is not considered flood diversion, it is only conducive to flood control."

"Whether it's flood diversion or flood diversion, why can't it be done in other places? There is also a Jingjiang flood diversion project over there in An'gong, why not start the flood diversion project!"

"There are more people in the Jingjiang Flood Diversion Project area, and the losses will be greater once it is activated. And on the issue of whether to activate or not, the National Academy of Sciences clearly stipulated in the Yangtze River Prevention Plan for Severe Floods formulated in 1985 that only Sarawak City When the water level reaches 44.67 meters and is expected to continue to rise, the North Gate of the Jingjiang Flood Diversion Project can be opened to divert floods."

Han Yu took a deep breath, thought about it and said meaningfully: "As for this side, not to mention whether the superiors will give orders to abandon the defense, judging from the rain and water conditions in front of you, how high can your embankment be? , how long can this village be defended?"

This is a very real problem.

The embankment is built with sandbags, and it becomes more difficult to build it as you go higher.

Thinking that the water level outside was rising, Captain Zheng frowned and asked, "Do you really want to abandon the defense?"

"It depends on the situation in the next few days."

Han Yu was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "Let's put it this way, today the superiors asked us not only to open up the channels for material transfer, but also to open up the channels for organizing mass evacuation. But we cannot shake the morale of the military and the people at this juncture. These I can only tell you the matter."

"What's the use of telling me?"

"At least some preparations can be made in advance to assist local organizations in evacuating people."

"If we really can't defend it, will you participate in the evacuation?"

"Won't."

"Won't?"

"If we really can't hold it, it means that the dry embankments on both sides of the Jingjiang River are in danger, and we will definitely have to carry out more important rescue tasks. Moreover, our ship is too large in tonnage and the draft is too deep. Not only will it be easily stranded, but it will also be blocked when it comes in. The channel was finally opened with great difficulty."

After spending so many days guarding it, I was actually guarding a village that was likely to be abandoned!

Captain Zheng felt very uncomfortable and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to notify the armed police?"

"Their superiors should inform them privately."

"You informed me, so you are now our superiors?"

"How can we be your superiors? The main reason is that the surrounding areas are flooded, the power is out in the compound, the phone lines are disconnected, and there is no signal even for mobile phones. Your division commander cannot contact you, so he can only ask us to tell you."

"Understood, I will prepare in advance."

"We can't let the public know for the time being."

"I know."

Just as he was talking, Chen Zikun's call came from the intercom.

The Yangtze River Public Security Boat 110 arrived. Han Yu and Political Commissar Yang could not stay here for long, so they quickly took the sick and wounded from the 127th Regiment to the embankment to board the boat.

…

At the same time, the section of the embankment in charge of the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau and Changhang Jingzhou Public Security Bureau was filled with joy.

It rained heavily again, and the water level in Sarawak City rose again. More than 200 cadres and workers from several units of the CSC System in Jingzhou began digging soil and filling sandbags at 11 o'clock last night, carrying sandbags on the embankment to strengthen it to face the first crisis. The sub-dykes built during the flood peak and the second flood peak.

Although they fought hard for nearly twelve hours, and everyone was so tired that they could not straighten their backs, the embankment section was not reinforced very long or high.

Lao Ge feels that those who eat and drink from Changhang should do something to repay Changhang whenever there is an opportunity.

While organizing forces with Hao Qiusheng, Gu Pengfei, Vice Minister Li and others to protect the dangerous situation on the other side, they took time out of their busy schedule to send four boats of filled sandbags, and organized officers and soldiers from the 2nd Battalion of the 132th Regiment to temporarily take over the embankment to help them raise the height and reinforce it. embankment section.

"Comrades, move faster and work harder, we only have half an hour!"

"Ship No. 6, Ship No. 6, can you move closer to the shore? All the sandbags have fallen into the water! Yes, yes, that's it, come here again."

Hao Qiusheng, Gu Pengfei, and Vice Minister Li are all organizing rescue operations on the other side. Lao Ge can only be personally commanded here. In fact, such an appearance must be directed by him, a senior expert.

A police officer from Jingzhou Branch of Changhang Airlines was so excited that tears filled his eyes and he couldn't help but ask: "Are there any brothers from Binjiang Branch?"

Lao Ge took off the hat of his raincoat, held up a portable loudspeaker and shouted: "Young man, we don't have any policemen from the Binjiang branch here. Some of them are fighting the emergency in Shishu, and some have gone to support Hanwu."

"Geju, are there any brothers from the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau here?"

"The harbor supervisor has it."

Lao Ge pointed the loudspeaker at Ship No. 5 and shouted: "Li Jianwei, Hu Genhua, the comrades from the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau want to see you. Hurry up and say hello to the comrades from the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau!"

Li Jianwei and Hu Genhua, who were moving sandbags on the boat, were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly straightened up and waved to their colleagues on the shore.

It is said that the police all over the world are one family.

In fact, the port supervisor on the ship and the port supervisor on the shore are really one family, because they are both affiliated to the Yangtze River Port Supervision System and are all port supervisors of the Ministry of Transport.

As Lao Ge expected, the officials and workers of the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau on the shore cheered again.

Deputy Director Zhou of the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau waved to his colleagues on the ship and said with sobs, "Ge Bureau, thank you."

"It's a small effort, but I can't thank you enough."

Lao Ge looked back at the dike, thought about it and said: "When the danger on the other side is secured, as long as the large forces have time, I will pull the large forces over and help you strengthen this section of the dike."
