Riverside police

It was pitch dark and the rain kept falling.

When people describe heavy rain, they often say it keeps falling like broken beads.

In fact, it is wrong. The real heavy rain is not a broken bead, but a thread made of beads. It does not break or stop, falling continuously from the sky.

Under one or two flashes of lightning that pierced the sky, the water swayed darkly, one after another, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced floods to experience this fear.

Zhaodi hugged his sister Sidi and fled to the second floor, where he was temporarily safe.

But she was still panicking because she didn't know whether the water would continue to rise, whether the house beneath her feet would collapse, or whether anyone would come to rescue her.

I want to run out, it would be better if I were earlier, but now it's too late!

It was dark and raining heavily, and there were no roads or ditches outside. It was all water.

If the flood is better during the day, you can at least see how high it has risen. You can take your sister to climb to the roof, or take her to get into the big wooden barrel for bathing.

What I'm most afraid of is at night, when I don't dare to sleep. Once I fall asleep, I don't know whether the water has risen, let alone how high it has risen. Last night, I was sleeping and the bed suddenly floated...

"Sister, I miss my mother."

"I want, too."

"Sister, I'm scared."

"As long as my sister is here, I won't be afraid."

Children from poor families become parents early.

The father worked in Dongguang, and the mother went to Dongguang to visit his father during the summer vacation of the two sisters. She also worked part-time for two months. The six-year-old sister could only be taken care of by her 12-year-old brother Zhao.

She said she wasn't afraid, but she was extremely scared in her heart. But now she was trapped in the flood, and the only thing she could do was to hug her sister tightly, put the lantern in front of the window, and hope that she would be far away. People everywhere can see it.

There is someone in the distance!

On the river embankment about two miles away from her home, many people came at night.

Standing at the window, you can see the lights on the embankment, and even hear the roaring machines and nervous whistles.

Si Di looked at the lights in the direction of the embankment, hugged his sister's neck tightly and asked, "Sister, is that the People's Liberation Army?"

"It's the People's Liberation Army. The People's Liberation Army will definitely come to rescue us."

"When will the People's Liberation Army come?"

"Come soon, the People's Liberation Army will give us delicious food."

I slept so hard yesterday that I didn't even know my house was flooded.

Rice, vegetables, and oil were all placed downstairs. They were either flooded or floated away.

No one usually lives upstairs, there is nothing, and even if there is, there is no stove for cooking.

Brother Zhao was as thirsty and hungry as his sister. He stared at the light in the distance and suddenly remembered "The Little Match Girl" and felt that he was the one written in that text.

…

On the embankment, a team of the emergency rescue commando team is working intensively.

The temporary name "First Team" was named by Huang Yuanchang in the afternoon. He said on the phone that the leaders of the China Changchun Aviation Bureau were coming to express condolences to the officers and soldiers participating in the war. It would be difficult to introduce the name at that time if the name was not clear.

Although the emergency rescue commando team is still a temporary unit, it is a temporary party committee, not a temporary party branch.

If "First Team" and "Second Team" are used to distinguish the two amphibious combat formations, the unit level will appear to be too low. "First Team" and "Second Team" are just appropriate.

If the two rescue teams performing rescue missions here and in Sarawak are both detachments, then wouldn’t the emergency rescue commando team become the main team?

Han Yu thought it was a bit funny, but when he thought that the administrative level of the Changhang Airlines system was already very high, for example, the Linghaigang Police Station of the Changhang Airlines Binjiang Branch had only a few people in total, and they didn't have a lot of work, but it was actually a department-level unit, and he felt that all this Very normal.

The section of the tributary of the Yangtze River that is directly blocking water is being protected overnight.

A breach occurred yesterday morning, and coupled with continuous heavy rains, the water level outside the embankment was very high, and the interior of the embankment was already flooded into a vast ocean.

The long river embankment was alone exposed on the water, and the floodwater was pouring into the embankment through the breach.

Only a small village is flooded now. If we don't seize the time to block the breach, more villages will be flooded and the damage will be even greater.

Because the inside of the embankment has also been flooded, the embankment is like a long isolated island, and people cannot get through. Now they have to rely on the "one team" to rescue and protect themselves, without the help of local cadres and the masses.

The entire embankment was submerged in water, making it very difficult to protect it.

The most direct impact is that there is no way to retrieve soil. All the earth needed for emergency protection needs to be transported by ship from the soil extraction point more than ten kilometers away.

We held on in the rain and fought fiercely day and night.

Using the pile frame temporarily installed on the floating crane, a row of piles was driven in the storm, and Han Yu immediately ordered the stones to be thrown.

Pour material, beat it, crush it...

Under the illumination of the ship's high-power searchlight, loader operator Zhang Dapeng worked closely with the safety officer to quickly complete a series of actions above the breach.

10 meters, 8 meters, 2 meters. With the advancement of filling again and again, the length of the breach was continuously shortened. Finally, at 4:11 in the morning, the dam was completely closed, but the danger was not really eliminated.

The rain is getting heavier and the water levels in the Yangtze River tributaries are rising higher and higher.

If it rises further, the newly filled dam may be washed away by floods again, and we must race against time and heavy rain!

Zhang Dapeng didn't want to just hand over the shift, but he had to hand over the shift when the time came.

This is not only because fatigue operation can cause safety accidents, but also because there will be more dangers in the future that require rescue.

After all, the emergency rescue commando team is different from the officers and soldiers of the 127th Regiment waiting on the embankment. They can rest for a while as long as they block the flood. The emergency rescue commando team cannot. For the emergency rescue commando team, there is no rest at all.

He jumped off the loader and walked to the embankment to unzip his pants and pee. Suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be a light in the distance.

"Secretary Han, Secretary Han!"

"Master Zhang, what's wrong?"

"Look over there, there seems to be a light!"

"No, Master Zhang. It's been flooded down there a long time ago. The people have all evacuated. How could there be anyone there?" Han Yu looked in the direction of his finger. As long as he could see, there was a vast ocean. Further away, it was pitch black, what? None can be seen.

"There's really a light, take a closer look."

"I really can't see."

"It must be because I read too much and am short-sighted."

I'm not short-sighted...

Han Yu didn't know how to refute the old master of Luqiao Company, so he simply shouted: "Big brother, big brother!"

"Here you come, what's going on?" Xu Mingyuan didn't care about the safety of the command anymore, and ran over with a small flag in hand, splashing Sun Gong with mud and water.

"Elder brother, you have good eyesight. Look carefully over there."

"What are you looking at?"

"You look first."

"It's all water, there are trees and houses, but they're all flooded."

Han Yu asked: "Can you see the light?"

Xu Mingyuan rubbed his eyes and whispered: "I can't see. It's raining so heavily. Even if there is one, I can't see clearly."

Sun Youyi came over and asked curiously: "Secretary Han, what are you looking at?"

"Master Zhang said there are lights below."

"Let me see."

"I can't even see it. If you are short-sighted, you can't even see it."

"That's right." Sun Youyi's glasses lenses were covered with rainwater, so he subconsciously took them off and shook them.

When Zhang Dapeng saw that they all said they hadn't seen it, he suddenly realized that the light that he had seen clearly just now was no longer visible. He thought to himself, had he been dazzled just now?

The 001 and Yangtze River Public Security 110 boats are blowing their whistles to remind those who are changing shifts to go back to the "detachment base" to rest.

Zhang Dapeng didn't want his colleagues and comrades to wait, so he had no choice but to run over and get on the boat.

He boarded 001, shook off the mud from his feet, and still felt uneasy after thinking about it, and shouted: "Lao Zhu, don't you have a telescope? Lend it to me!"

Zhu Baogen probed his head and asked, "What are you using a telescope for?"

"There are lights under the embankment. Someone may be trapped in the flood!"

"Okay, I'll get it for you."

People's lives were at stake. Zhu Baogen didn't dare to waste a moment. He hurriedly went to the command cabin to get the telescope. After thinking about it, he raised the intercom and said, "Captain Liu, we will set sail later. Master Zhang from the Road and Bridge Company has something to do."

"receive!"

"Master Zhang, hurry up and see what's going on."

"Okay, thank you."

Zhang Dapeng took the telescope and walked back to the embankment along the springboard. He ran to the spot where he had just peeed and raised the telescope to observe carefully.

I didn’t know it, but I shouted excitedly when I saw it.

"Secretary Han! Worker Sun! There are really lights and people!"

"Where?"

Han Yu hurriedly ran to him.

Zhang Dapeng handed over the telescope, pointed in the direction he was looking at, and said eagerly: "There, not far from us."

Han Yu held up the telescope and searched the water bit by bit. He looked carefully for nearly three minutes and finally saw the light!

Didn't the superiors say that all the people under the embankment were evacuated before coming here? How come there are still people...

Han Yu realized that he could not just wait for his superiors to arrange for a boat to come to the rescue, so he immediately raised the intercom: "Uncle Zhu, there may be people trapped in the flood under the embankment. Please quickly find a few people to help carry the iron boat over. We have to go there quickly." Rescue.”

"Got it, now!"

"I go!"

Xu Mingyuan reacted and hurried to the "landing point" to help lift the iron boat.

Han Yu put down the telescope and turned around and said: "Master Zhang, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If there is really someone there, you have accumulated great merit this time!"

It turns out that although I am older than you, my eyesight is better than yours...

Zhang Dapeng, not to mention having a great sense of accomplishment, grinned and asked, "Secretary Han, aren't we just saving people when we go everywhere to rescue people?"

"Although emergency rescue is still rescuing people, it's not the same as rescuing people with your own hands. Let's go and see together later."

"OK."

There is strength in numbers.

The iron boat was quickly brought over, and everyone took the cable and slowly lowered it to the water below the embankment.

When it was put down and stopped, Han Yu was the first to slide along the cable to the iron boat, took the crank handle from Zhu Baogen, inserted it into the crank hole of the diesel engine, and shook it hard a few times, and the diesel engine made a thumping sound. roar.

Xu Mingyuan and Zhang Dapeng followed closely.

Han Yu reminded him, "Sit tight", then held the steering pole and drove the iron boat towards the light.

Xu Mingyuan looked back at Han Yu who was sailing the boat, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Han Yu sailed the boat to send him to pick up his bride.

Zhang Dapeng sat on the bow of the boat with a strong flashlight to illuminate Han Yu.

The diesel engine is powerful, the iron boat is small, and the speed is very fast.

In a blink of an eye, the three of them came to a building with the first floor flooded and part of the second floor flooded. It looked very simple and had almost no decoration at all.

There was a lantern on the window sill, and no one could be seen inside.

In the middle of the night, there was a flooded building in the middle of the ocean. There was a light on the window sill of the building, and it was raining outside...

This situation suddenly made Han Yu and Zhang Dapeng feel a little frightened, and they couldn't help but think of the Liao Zhai on TV.

Xu Mingyuan, who had been the captain of the criminal police brigade, was more courageous than the two of them. He took the flashlight from Zhang Dapeng, looked out the window and shouted: "Is there anyone there? We are the People's Liberation Army, and we are here to save you."

Han Yu calmed down and shouted: "Is there anyone inside? We are going in!"

An even more hair-raising scene appeared. A small head suddenly appeared behind the window sill, followed closely by the face of a little girl.

Zhang Dapeng was startled and asked anxiously: "Are you a human?"

"Uncle PLA!"

Zhaodi had just woken up from his sleep. He couldn't believe this was true. He rubbed his eyes and didn't dare to speak.

Xu Mingyuan reacted, immediately patted Zhang Dapeng on the shoulder, and said with a smile in his hometown dialect: "Of course he is a human being. There are no ghosts in this world. He is obviously a child."

"Oh, that scared me."

"Little girl, we are the People's Liberation Army. Just stand there and don't move. Uncle will go in now."

Zhaodi realized that this was not a dream, and quickly called his sister: "Sidi, Sidi, wake up quickly, our uncle from the People's Liberation Army is here to save us!"

Han Yu wanted to control the iron boat and couldn't get in.

Xu Mingyuan climbed in from the window sill with the help of Zhang Dapeng, and was shocked to find that the room was full of water. The two little girls were very smart and slept in a long wooden bathtub.

But I could only sleep in a wooden barrel. The room was empty, without a bed or other furniture.

Xu Mingyuan picked up the five or six-year-old little girl, turned around and asked, "Children, what are your names?"

Zhaodi couldn't control it anymore, hugged Uncle PLA's legs and cried loudly.

"Stop crying, you will be safe as long as uncle is here. Tell uncle, what are your names?"

"I...my name is Zhang Zhaodi. I will be in fifth grade in the second half of the year. This is my sister Zhang Sidi. My sister will be in first grade soon."

"Recruiting a younger brother, right? Where are your adults?"

"My father and mother went to Dongguang to work."

"You two are the only ones at home?"

"Um."

The parents of this pair of children are really relieved. The couple went out to work and left their two children at home!

Xu Mingyuan really didn't know what to say, so he quickly put his head in and shouted: "Just two children, no one else."

"Okay, I'll lean over." Han Yu quickly moved the iron boat to lean against the wall.

Zhang Dapeng stood up holding on to the wall and stretched out his hands: "Xu Da, put the child down and I will pick it up."

"Okay, be careful."

Xu Mingyuan was afraid of knocking the children, so he carefully transferred the two children to the iron boat. Thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he waded through the water to check the two rooms next door.

Except for the different housing types, farmers here build buildings similar to those in Linghai.

No matter what happens inside, the building must be built first!

The next two rooms were also empty, with nothing else except some clothes and garbage floating up the stairwell.

Thinking that he would not be without clothes to change after bringing the two little girls back, Xu Mingyuan quickly fished a few items from the water, squeezed out the water, turned over from the window sill, and returned to the iron boat.

Zhang Dapeng took off his raincoat and put it on the two children.

For fear that the two children would be frozen, he held the two children in his arms.

Looking at the trembling child nestled in Lao Zhang's arms, Han Yu couldn't help but think of his daughter who was far away in his hometown. He felt very uncomfortable. He held the steering column with one hand to adjust the direction and returned to the homeland, and raised the walkie-talkie hanging on his chest with the other hand:

"Uncle Zhu, I'm Han Yu. We rescued two little girls. Is there anything to eat on board 001? If so, heat it up quickly. We'll be there soon!"

"Yes, I'll heat it up right now."

"Let Liu Wei contact my father-in-law and Mengmeng using the high-frequency radio, and tell them that we will take the two little girls back soon, and ask them to be prepared."

Please ask Han Gong and Doctor Han to make preparations. Does Xianyu want his father-in-law and sister-in-law to take care of the child?

Zhu Baogen was stunned and said hurriedly: "Okay, I'll tell Liu Wei."

Han Yu looked up and looked around. He still felt uneasy after thinking about it. He raised the intercom again: "Xugong, Xugong, I am Han Yu. Can you receive it?"

"Copy that, Secretary Han, please speak!"

"Immediately report to the municipal prevention office. We rescued two little girls from a flooded village near the emergency area. One is Zhang Zhaodi and the other is Zhang Sidi. They are a pair of sisters. Please contact the relevant towns and villages and notify the two children. parents or relatives."

"Right away, I'll report right away."

"etc."

Han Yu took a deep breath and emphasized: "The flooded area here is not small, and the possibility of people being trapped cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that the relevant departments organize personnel and ships to conduct a dragnet investigation of the flooded area!"
