The third flood peak was so fierce that Xi Gong personally called to inform Sarawak that the peak water level reached 43.85 meters. Both the water level and flow rate exceeded the previous two flood peaks.

The entire Jingjiang River has exceeded the warning water level, and the Jianli water level has exceeded the highest water level in history by 0.49 meters!

The Jingjiang embankment on the north bank was built to a relatively high standard, and soldiers and civilians along the line were strictly guarded, so there was no particularly serious danger.

The most difficult one is Angong County.

We are fighting desperately against the floods in Jingnan, and are facing the third flood peak of the Yangtze River, and the Hudu River in the west has also exceeded the warning level across the board.

In a three-front battle, no front can be lost. The main task of the second detachment now is to assist Angong County in guarding the 96-kilometer Yangtze River embankment!

Han Yu's side is not easy either. The "nine-curved ileum" of the river determines that the embankments on both sides are in constant danger. Since 10:30 yesterday morning, we have started fighting fires everywhere.

One team's "water formation" troops were divided into three groups and fought for protection separately.

Han Yu personally commanded the road and was protecting a dangerous bank collapse.

"Comrades on the shore, please pay attention. Comrades on the shore, please pay attention. We are the emergency rescue commando team of Jingzhou Fengzhi. Please leave the dangerous section of the bank immediately. We will take over this place and our commando team will be responsible for the rescue!"

"..."

"Hurry up, you guys here will affect our construction!"

Hundreds of soldiers and civilians who were struggling to carry sandbags and throw them to the collapse site were stunned. They looked at the floating crane and two large barges towed by Linggang Tow 001 and Linggang Tow 001, and they didn't know where to go for a while.

Han Yu became anxious and shouted again: "Comrades on the embankment, please pay attention. Please evacuate to both sides immediately. This is an order!"

A township leader who led the rescue team regained his composure, hurriedly said a few words to the PLA officers who came to support, and then led the cadres and masses to retreat to both sides.

At the same time, Wu Haili was also giving frequent orders.

"Barge No. 7 and No. 8 are unmoored and anchored, so move quickly!"

"The floating crane has dropped its stern anchor, and the piling team is preparing for construction!"

…

The soldiers and civilians who had just rescued the emergency did not go very far. They all stood on both sides of the embankment where the danger appeared and watched.

They worked hard for more than four hours, and they all turned into clay figures. They were exhausted and took this opportunity to take a breather.

Just when they were thinking about how the commandos of the city defense command would rescue them, Han Yu and three officers and soldiers of the 132nd Regiment who were assisting in the construction transferred to iron boats and rushed to the embankment, ignoring the sub-embankment that was about to be overflowed by the flood. He ran towards the collapse of the "Great White Wall".

To be precise, it was not a collapse, but a breach!

A large piece of the water side collapsed, causing the sub-embankment to breach. The turbid floodwaters were rushing into the embankment carrying aquatic plants, branches and other garbage.

"Penny!"

"arrive!"

The soldiers of the 132nd Regiment quickly handed over the pennies.

Han Yu took it and poked at the breach, more than a dozen times in a row. He handed the pennies to the soldiers assisting the rescuers and raised the walkie-talkie tied to his chest: "Sun Gong, Sun Gong, report to Fangzhi, the breach is not deep. The collapse is not serious, the embankment is generally stable, and it will take us about 45 minutes to seal it."

"receive!"

"Wu Chu Wu Chu."

"Copy that, Secretary Han, please speak."

"It's enough to drive four piles to the inside of the breach, then drive a sandbag cage under the piles and seal the opening first. Then drive four more piles outside and throw in sandbags and stone slope protection."

Han Yu turned around and looked at the floodwater that was almost at the same level as the embankment, and added: "The water level is rising, and we don't have much time left to reinforce it. We need to finish it quickly and leave it to others to build sandbags."

"clear."

As soon as Han Yu put down the walkie-talkie, a township leader and a lieutenant colonel ran over.

Han Yu ignored the self-introduction and asked the two construction workers to stay here to direct the piling operations on the water and the throwing operations after driving the pilings. He then dragged the township leaders to the side.

"Comrade..."

"You two, time is urgent, please listen to me."

Han Yu stopped, turned around and pointed to the area where he was about to work and explained: "We are going to carry out piling and hoisting operations on the water there. We are lifting things above our heads. No one can stand under the working area, so we have to clear the area and ask you to evacuate. "

The township leader reacted and was about to speak when Han Yu continued: "Don't worry, you two, we will definitely be able to plug this hole. It will take about forty-five minutes. But we can only help you block the hole. The water level is rising. , as the water rises, the embankments will be raised, and the next rescue operations still rely on you."

"OK."

"There is a large-scale piping danger at a drainage station on the other side. The law enforcement boat that is guarding the river will come to pick me up immediately. I will cross the river to the other side to see the scene. After I leave, please obey Linggang tow 001, which is the Comrade command on the big tugboat.”

"Then what?"

"Then, do you need woven bags for the section of the embankment you are responsible for? If necessary, we have them on board, and we can provide them. But now we need woven bags everywhere, please tell me based on the actual situation, because our woven bags are limited."

"we need to."

"How much do you need?"

"Two thousand, two thousand is not enough, we need four thousand."

"Okay, I'll give you five thousand, and I'll hoist them ashore for you later. Remember to give a receipt to the comrades on the ship. And after we seal the hole, the engineering and technical personnel on the ship will give you a report on the observation and Not only do you need to sign the maintenance document, but you are also required to observe and maintain this dangerous section in accordance with the requirements in the document."

"OK."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

Han Yu raised his hand and saluted the two of them, then ran to the section of the embankment where the iron canoe was berthed, climbed over the sub-dyke, climbed onto the iron canoe with the help of a crew member, and went straight to Supervisor 48, who was cruising on the river.

It wasn't until he saw Han Yu boarding the harbor surveillance boat that the lieutenant colonel calmed down and murmured: "Mayor Yang, this man is very young."

"Are they from your army?"

"It's a bit similar, but not quite. If you were in the army, the most people as old as him would be in the company."

The rain stopped and the sun came out. It was very hot on the shore and on the boat.

Han Yu was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and camouflage pants today. He did not wear the rank of reserve major. He was too busy to introduce himself just now. Mayor Yang and the Lieutenant Colonel could not figure out his identity.

As soon as he left on Supervisor 48, the floating crane slowly moved toward the breach with the help of Linggang's 001 tow and the tail anchor dropped before, and stretched out its long boom.

Under the boom hangs a simple pile frame welded by Zhang Jiangkun and others with steel. A pile wood has already been placed in the pile groove of the pile frame.

A soldier from the 132nd Regiment held up a walkie-talkie and gestured to instruct the driver on the floating crane to lift the pile frame to the inside of the breach.

Another soldier here and a soldier who rode an iron boat around to the opposite side of the breach each held a rope thrown up by the old squad leader on the floating crane, and slowly dragged and constantly adjusted the posture of the pile frame and the position of entering the water.

With a rapid whistle, the stakes were firmly erected on the inside of the breach.

Immediately afterwards, the pile hammer installed above the pile frame started, and with a few muffled sounds, the pile wood was driven in.

Repeat this three times in a row.

It took about fifteen minutes to drive the four long and thick wooden piles.

After driving the piles inside the breach, we drove the piles outside the breach, four in a row.

Mayor Yang and the Lieutenant Colonel stood on the embankment and could clearly see that the people on the floating crane were nervously dismantling the pile frame, and an iron barge was slowly approaching the floating crane under the action of the winch.

"What's on board?"

"Probably a stone."

While the two were discussing, the crane started again.

The pile frame was removed and now there are only wire ropes and hooks.

I saw stacks of tightly tied sandbags being lifted by a crane over the breach. Under the command of the soldiers on the shore, they were thrown into the breach one after another. In less than ten minutes, the breach was successfully blocked!

The two of them were stunned, and the hundreds of people who had thought they couldn't hold on just half an hour ago burst into cheers.

The people on the boat didn't end there. They first hoisted dozens of bundles of woven bags, and then nervously began to remove the hooks, not knowing what tools they needed to change.

At this time, a dozen soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms actually set up a long belt conveyor from the floating crane over the newly sealed breach, filled it with soil and tied the sandbags, and so on. One is sent to the shore.

Several soldiers on the shore continued to throw sandbags to both sides of the breach. Their skillful movements were amazing. In the blink of an eye, they threw at least more than a thousand bags.

Just after the casting was completed here, the crane over there was replaced with a large grab and began to throw the stones from the other ship into the water outside the breach...

When a reserve captain wearing a camouflage hat came ashore with a folder and asked Mayor Yang to sign it, the lieutenant colonel subconsciously raised his arm and looked at his watch. He was shocked to find that from the time he rushed here to shout to the time when he finished throwing the stones for slope protection, there were only a few seconds. It took forty-two minutes!

"Comrade, your equipment is so good and efficient."

"You two, now is not the time to talk about this. We have to go to the next game. Please sign here."

"good."

"This is my business card. My surname is Sun, and my name is Sun Youyi. There is my contact information on it. Today is just a temporary rescue. After we have rescued other dangers, we will come over to reinforce the collapse."

Mayor Yang took the business card and looked at it. He was shocked to find that the other person was an engineer from the emergency construction technical unit of the Linghai Reserve Battalion of the Jiangnan Military Region. He hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Sun. I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Sun."

"No trouble, this is our job. What's your surname, and can you leave us your contact information?"

"My surname is Yang..."

Sun Youyi quickly wrote down Mayor Yang's job title and contact information, turned around and looked at the breach that had just been blocked, and then said: "Mayor Yang, we were doing both rescue and construction work just now. According to regulations, we need to provide information on rescue projects. , our engineering and technical personnel will contact you when the third flood peak is gone, and we may need to trouble you to help us complete the information."

"No problem, my phone is on 24 hours a day."

"Okay, that's it, goodbye you two."

Sun Youyi saluted, got on the boat and left.

Only then did Mayor Yang and the Army Lieutenant Colonel notice that there were two large signs and two red and white bamboo roadblocks on both sides of the breach blocked by the reserve troops!

A big sign is a bit like a factory company's infrastructure project overview sign, with the name of the project, location, emergency construction unit, etc. written on it.

The other is a propaganda board about flood prevention:

When fighting floods, we are not afraid of many dangers, but we are afraid of the dangers being ignored.

The body of the embankment and the foot of the embankment are 200 meters away, all of which are dangerous spots.

There are new dangers hidden in the old danger section, and the danger of culvert gate is a big disaster.

Timely detection is the key, and decisive treatment is much safer.

The signatures of the two big brands are not the legendary Linghai Reserve Camp, but "China Linghai Port Engineering Project Headquarters" and "China Linghai Road and Bridge Engineering Company"!

The only sign hanging under the roadblock prohibiting vehicle traffic is the Linghai Reserve Battalion of the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region.

Mayor Yang looked more and more strange, and asked in a low voice: "Political Commissar Jing, are they the army or an engineering company?"

The lieutenant colonel of the army thought for a while and said with a smile: "It is both a reserve force and an engineering company, because the reserve force only assembles when performing tasks, and the reserve officers and soldiers usually have their own jobs."

"Is it similar to the militia we have here?"

"Um."

"I asked why they are so efficient. It turns out they are engaged in engineering."

"Mayor Yang, let's not talk about them anymore. Let's fill the sandbags quickly. The water level seems to have risen again."

"Yes, yes, work first."

Mayor Yang realized that now was not the time for gossip, and hurriedly shouted: "Party Secretary Liu, the hole is blocked. Hurry up and take people down to dig a drainage ditch! Drain the water that comes in. The embankment cannot always be soaked in water."
