Riverside police

On August 6, a team went upstream and returned to the waters of Sarawak.

The second detachment went down the river and returned to the tuning gate again. At the request of the Shishou Municipal Defense Office, they organized forces to continue to strengthen the embankment on the south bank of the Jingjiang River.

The excavator driver of the Aviation Administration is much better after taking medicine and can go into battle.

Han Yu no longer has to do it himself and can finally sleep.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when I woke up. When I walked out of my father-in-law's dormitory, it started to rain lightly again, and the wind and waves on the river were very strong.

"Secretary Han, wash your face quickly, I'll ask the cooking team to bring some food."

"I'm not hungry now. Let's have supper with the big guys later."

Han Yu declined Deputy Director Yu's kindness and opened the door and walked into the small conference room.

Korean workers now not only have to observe and predict weather changes, but also help answer the phone and receive the latest reports from the Yangtze River Defense Directorate and Jingzhou Defense Command.

"Dad, is there any situation with Hong Feng?"

"have."

There is a telephone line here to receive faxes.

The Korean worker put out his cigarette butt, took out a fax from the folder, and said worriedly: "The Yangtze River Prevention and Control Bureau reported that the Changyi flood peak flow has reached 61,500 cubic meters per second, and it will arrive in Sarawak around 4 a.m. the day after tomorrow."

Han Yu sat down and asked: "61,500 cubic meters per second!"

"If the water level in Jingjiang River can be lowered within two days, it should be able to withstand the fourth flood peak. The problem is that the water level in Jingjiang River remains high due to the support of downstream floods. I just had a phone call with Mr. Xi, who predicts that after the flood peak enters Jingjiang River , the water levels in Sarawak and Jianli will exceed the historical highs, especially the water level in Sarawak is likely to reach 45 meters."

"The upper limit of the Jingjiang flood diversion level is 45 meters!"

"So Angong County is mobilizing the masses to evacuate. This time it is different from the dangerous situation on the Yangliu Village section of the embankment. Instead of 100,000 people, we have to evacuate more than 300,000 people. Political Commissar Yang called in the afternoon and said that Peng The regiment leader is leading officers and soldiers to assist the local government in organizing mass evacuation."

The main force of the 132nd Regiment originally planned to return to the base, but on the way back to the base, they were recalled by their superiors to Angong County to continue fighting the flood.

The officers and soldiers had been working hard for nearly a month and were very tired.

However, compared to the officers and soldiers of the 132nd Regiment, it was more difficult for the people in Angong County. Hundreds of thousands of people had to leave their homes in just two days. The evacuation scene was simply unimaginable.

Han Gong didn’t know what his son-in-law was thinking, and continued: “If the flood diversion project is activated, the Jingjiang levee on the Sarawak side should be able to hold, but the flood control situation on the downstream side of Shishou and Jianli is still severe. Xi Gong said that Beihu Province’s flood prevention It means that ten soldiers have been ordered to abandon the Hekou Town, and the simple three-state joint embankment has been ordered to pass the flood."

The Hekou Town in Shishou is the village where the 127th Regiment is defending. The village, like the two flooded villages before, is like a peninsula extending into the Yangtze River, turning the east-west Yangtze River into a north-south direction, with the Yangtze River on both sides. The total area is about more than 180 square kilometers.

Abandoning the defense of Hekou Town is equivalent to cutting a curve and making a straight line. Not only can it store floods and discharge them, but it can also reduce the pressure on the South Bank of Jingjiang and Bayi Levees on the Second Detachment's side.

Sanzhoulian Embankment is the largest folk embankment in Jianli County, with a total area of ​​nearly 200 square kilometers!

If An Gong activates the flood diversion project and Shishou and Jianli abandon two large civilian embankments at the same time, how many people's homes will be flooded and how many people will be displaced?

Although he has the best mechanized construction equipment, the most professional flood rescue personnel and the strongest logistical support, Han Yu feels that the power of the emergency rescue commando team is so small in the face of natural disasters. As the flood peak continues to remain high and duplexes are superimposed, I find that there is not much that I can do.

"Mayor Qin and Deputy Commander Tao of the Jiangnan Reserve Division are here. They arrived last night. After visiting the second detachment today, they crossed the river to visit the 132nd Regiment accompanied by Mayor Shen. At this time, they were accompanied by Commander Peng. Went down to the 404th Division command post."

Han Gong looked at the phone records and added: "They originally planned to stay in Angong County for one night and come to express condolences to us early tomorrow morning. But Angong is organizing people to evacuate. Although there are levees around Angong County, no one can I can't guarantee whether we can hold it, the county is in chaos, and I just called to say that they are rushing to our side overnight."

What are you asking for condolences at this time...

Han Yu was not very interested in whether Deputy Mayor Qin and Deputy Teacher Tao would come to express condolences. He asked, "Dad, is there any news from Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao?"

"Yes, together with the water search and rescue fleet convened by Jianli County, they conducted a drag-net search on several residential areas where floods were stored in Pakou, and moved people from some lower-lying villages to the embankment, but there were still three Thousands of people were unwilling to leave."

"When the flood peak comes, the water level will rise. What can we do if we don't walk!"

"The local government is doing its job. For those people who are on higher ground, live on rooftops, and are really unwilling to leave, the local government has no particular solution. They can only organize ships to send some relief supplies."

Han Gong paused and then continued: "Considering that Xu Mingyuan and the others were physically and mentally exhausted due to their continuous fighting, Political Commissar Yang sent them back in the afternoon. They are now on their way back, and they should probably be 'home' before twelve o'clock." Secretary Wang asked the cooking team to prepare some extra midnight snacks, and the cabins are also packed up."

In just half a month, the water search and rescue company traveled from Jingzhou to Hanwu, from Hanwu to Xiang'an, from Xiang'an to Yujia, and from Yujia to Jianli, traveling nearly a thousand kilometers to Beihu and Nanhu provinces. It's really tiring.

"After coming back, let the third company and the water search and rescue team of the 127th Regiment rest for two days." Han Yu took a deep breath, thought about it and asked: "Where are Xiaojun and Mengmeng?"

"We went to the Shajiabang regiment for inspection. Although the Shajiabang regiment has only been here a few days, there are more than a dozen wounded, and one cadre is suffering from acute schistosomiasis."

"They don't drink clean water!"

"Don't worry, Xiaojun said that things are different now. There are special drugs now, and schistosomiasis is no longer an incurable disease."

Han Yu finally relaxed and asked, "Where is Dongdong?"

"Dongdong is young. Huang Chu reported his deeds. The Beihu Provincial Youth Development Foundation called in the afternoon and said that Dongdong would be rated as a 'good young man who is brave and brave'. Your brother-in-law feels that too many honors are not conducive to Dongdong's growth. , Secretary Tuo Wang declined the kindness of the Beihu Youth Development Foundation."

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

Too much limelight as a child is not a good thing.

Han Gong agreed with Zhang Jiangkun's approach and continued: "Your brother-in-law feels that it is not appropriate to let Dongdong be in charge of the filling unit anymore. He discussed it with Battalion Commander Xiao Li and asked a platoon leader to replace Dongdong and let Dongdong go. The water supply team helped sail boats to deliver water to the people who moved to the embankment, allowing Dongdong to feel the suffering of the world."

Giving Dongdong third-class merit is a bit excessive.

The reason why the superiors gave Dongdong a third-class merit record was probably more because he considered Dongdong's age and wanted to set an example of a young reserve soldier.

Han Yu also felt that he could not encourage others and he mused: "Today is the 6th, and school starts on September 1st. High school is very important. Dongdong can't always follow us to fight floods. After Mayor Qin comes to express his condolences, let him talk to Qin City When I grow up, I will call my sister and ask her to borrow some books for the first year of high school so that Dongdong can prepare for the exam."

"Dongdong may not be able to go back."

"Why can't you go back?"

Han Gong smiled bitterly and said: "Ge Bureau asked the superiors to send a letter to the Donghai Guard District. The Armed Forces Department of Pudong New District and Weifang Street of Pudong New District sent good news to your sister. When sending the good news of meritorious service, the principal of Yangjing Middle School was also invited. lead.

The principal discovered that Dongdong, a new student about to enter school, was fighting against the flood. He thought that Dongdong was the pride of the school. He asked the Changhang Public Security Bureau to bring a lot of textbooks for the first year of high school, so that Dongdong could use his spare time to preview. He hoped that after Dongdong finished fighting against the flood, Go back to school again. "

Han Yu asked dumbfounded: "Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?"

"It is necessary." Han Gong admired Ge Ju from the bottom of his heart and said with emotion: "If the Donghai authorities were not notified, people would not go to express condolences, and Sister You would not have tens of thousands of condolences."

"Tens of thousands!"

"The street rewarded 20,000 yuan, and your brother-in-law and Dongdong received 10,000 yuan each. Donghai Changhang Hospital rewarded 10,000 yuan, and your brother-in-law and Dongdong received 5,000 yuan each."

Han Gong looked at his son-in-law's shocked look and explained: "Donghai is rich, and Donghai does a good job in supporting the army. Even for conscripts who have not made any meritorious service, the local government will subsidize more than 10,000 yuan for one year in the army. Those who have failed should be rewarded!"

Han Yu was really envious and couldn't help asking: "Do they think my brother-in-law and Dongdong are from the East China Sea?"

"What does it mean to be a Donghai native? That's what it is."

"Didn't my brother-in-law not be transferred there?"

"Who said that."

"Has it been transferred?"

"Although your sister-in-law is here, her work relationship has been transferred to the Donghai Salvage Bureau. Director Ge said on the phone that the leaders of the Salvage Bureau are very happy and take it seriously. Although they have not met your brother-in-law, the positions and duties have been arranged."

"What position, what position?"

"The deputy section chief of the ship machinery section of the salvage bureau's engineering fleet is responsible for the maintenance of the engineering fleet's vessels."

Han Gong paused, thought about it and then smiled: "If you look back at the project overview board that Secretary Wang asked Lao Chen to write, you will know that the current emergency construction units are not just Linghai Road and Bridge Company, Yangtze River Waterway Bureau and Yangtze River Waterway Project Bureau, there is another East China Sea Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation.”

"My brother-in-law represents the Salvage Bureau alone!"

"Not only representing the Salvage Bureau, but also representing Donghai together with Dongdong." Han Gong also thought this was a bit funny. After thinking about it, he added: "What's wrong with one person representing the Salvage Bureau? Li Jun also represents the Jiangnan Provincial Border Defense Corps." Woolen cloth."

Han Yu was completely convinced, sat down and asked, "Dad, is there anything else I don't know?"

The son-in-law was busy organizing and directing rescue operations, so he didn't know that this was normal.

Han Gong opened the drawer, pulled out a personnel roster, and said: "There are several reservists from various towns in the water search and rescue company. Since they had rural household registration before joining the army, the government did not arrange formal jobs for them after they retired. A few days ago, Linghai transferred them from rural to non-agricultural land. The customs recruited them and turned them into customs employees."

"Who did this?"

"Ge Jue, Ge Jue handled it all by himself. He had a heart-to-heart talk with those soldiers, and those soldiers were all willing to work in the customs."

"Any more?"

"have."

Han Gong glanced at the roster and continued: "Aren't there two loader drivers and a forklift driver in Changzhou and Gaoru? The city leaders of Changzhou and Gaoru felt that there were a few people participating in the flood fight, so they Go to Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian.

Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian asked them to contact Ge Bureau directly. They didn’t know how Ge Bureau negotiated with them. Anyway, they took this opportunity to find jobs for several soldiers who had not been placed in formal jobs before. They were all in the business establishment. . "

"Do you know the specific position?"

"It seems like he goes to the procuratorate and court to work as a judicial police officer."

The procuratorate and the court have police cars and police officers, but most of the police officers in the procuratorate and court are not state cadres. Some of them are institutionally established, and some are contracted.

Han Yu was sincerely happy that his subordinates could take this opportunity to find a job. He took the roster handed to him by his father-in-law, looked at the work unit just noted at the back of the list, and couldn't help but smile: "No wonder they see me these days. Just laugh, it turns out something good happened."

Just as he was talking, Secretary Wang's call came from the intercom.

"Han Gong Han Gong, is Xianyu awake yet? Mayor Qin and Deputy Commander Tao are here. Hurry up and ask Xianyu to pick them up."

"Wake up, we are talking, I will let him go ashore right now."

When superiors come, they must go ashore to greet them.

Han Yu took the walkie-talkie and went downstairs, walked ashore along the steel pontoon, and saw two military vehicles parked on the shore. Secretary Wang was standing beside the vehicle talking to Deputy Mayor Qin and Deputy Commander Tao.

Vice Mayor Shen also came and was standing by the car answering the phone.

"Hello, Mayor Qin, and Hello, Deputy Commander Tao. Welcome the two leaders to come to our camp to inspect our work."

"Xianyu, thank you for your hard work."

"fine."

"Comrade Han Yu, we meet again."

"Deputy Commander Tao, was the journey from An Gong smooth?"

If you don't come to the disaster area, you don't know how difficult it is.

Deputy Commander Tao subconsciously looked back behind him and said with emotion: "Angong County is organizing the evacuation of the masses, and some people are going to be transferred to Shishou. Along the way, there are people who are dragging their families and their families to move to Shishou, and they are the same people who are fleeing." It seems like it makes me feel uncomfortable when I look at it.”

Vice Mayor Qin felt uncomfortable and said solemnly: "The people saw that we were riding in military vehicles and thought we were here to fight the flood. They gave us the way when they saw us, otherwise we would have been blocked on the road."

"More than 300,000 people will be evacuated this time. Some will be evacuated outwards and some will be evacuated inward. Everyone wants to take more things with them. It is normal for the roads to be blocked."

"Xianyu, you are the captain of the emergency rescue commando team. You are the best informed. Do you think your superiors will give orders to divert the flood?"

"It depends on the water level. As long as it does not exceed the maximum limit of flood diversion, there is no need for flood diversion. However, it is very necessary to organize the evacuation of people within the flood diversion project area in advance. The lessons learned from Anzaoyuan and Paizhou Bay are there, and we can only Only by organizing an evacuation can the safety of people’s lives be ensured.”

Han Yu asked the leaders to get on the boat while continuing: "Our water search and rescue company participated in the water search and rescue of two collapsed civilian embankments. I asked the participating officers and soldiers to conduct an investigation during the search and rescue mission, and then reported what they found. Please ask XCMG from the Hydrology Bureau of the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission to conduct statistical analysis on the situation.”

Deputy Commander Tao looked confused. He didn't know what the battalion commander in front of him, who had never been a soldier, wanted to say.

Vice Mayor Qin made a rough guess and asked in a low voice: "Have the analysis results been released? Do they have any reference significance for our future flood control in Binjiang?"

"The results are useful for reference."

Han Yu invited the three leaders to the barge duty room, opened the drawer and took out a statistical analysis material from XCMG, and introduced: "Take Paizhou Bay as an example. During the 44 years from 1954 to this year's flood, the embankment of Paizhou Bay has been continuously There has never been a breach of the embankment. The people living in the embankment have not experienced major floods for a long time and lack flood knowledge. Although the relevant departments organize flood prevention every year, they have never carried out publicity and education on how to prevent floods.

Tall embankments create an illusion of safety for the people inside the embankments. This situation exists not only in North Lake and South Lake, but also in Linghai and even Binjiang. This directly causes the public to ignore the threat of floods and relax their vigilance against flood hazards.

Relevant departments only focus on water conservancy construction and basically do not consider the risk of floods, ignore flood prevention measures, only prevent 10,000, not just in case, and do not make relevant preparations or even decisions in case of dike failure. This directly caused the flood to break through the embankment and dam. From the party and government departments to the people under the embankment, they were panicked and at a loss, not knowing how to save themselves or others. "

Deputy Commander Tao was stunned. He couldn't believe that a reserve battalion commander was thinking about this.

Vice Mayor Qin thought it was normal. After all, Xianyu was originally the "Admiral of the Binjiang Navy", and the particularity of his job meant that he had to consider nipping various disasters in the bud.

XCMG's statistical analysis materials are very comprehensive and the data are complete.

For example, in Paizhou Bay, more than 70% of the people believe that the levee will not burst.

After the embankment breached, 70% of the people received news of the breach. The main ways of receiving news of the breach were broadcast, villagers passing on each other, and police station alerts. The main method of receiving news of the breach was radio. This shows the importance of the construction and maintenance of the rural broadcasting system.

After receiving the news that the levee broke, the people mainly ran to the levee to avoid the flood, and then went upstairs to avoid the flood, including going to nearby buildings and the homes of neighbors or relatives and friends, climbing up trees and preparing boats or other floating objects. rare.

The victims were mainly concentrated in several villages near the breach.

A considerable number of those who died encountered water while abandoning their buildings and running for embankments. Those who went upstairs to wait for rescue or hid in their neighbors' buildings basically saved their lives. Those who cannot find or run to the building in time and can only climb trees to avoid floods have a high chance of survival.

In other words, if a flood comes, don't panic and run to the embankment. Instead, seek shelter from the flood in a nearby high place. The chance of survival is much greater than abandoning the building and running to the embankment!

After reading the statistical analysis materials, Vice Mayor Qin raised his head and said, "Xianyu, this statistical data has important reference value. Has it been reported to the Yangtze River Defense Directorate?"

"We have reported it. We have telephones and fax machines here. We not only reported it to the Yangtze River Defense Headquarters and Jingzhou Defense Directorate, but also to the district and county defense offices along the route such as An Gong and Shishou. The leaders of An Gong County reported to us We take the situation very seriously, and we broadcast on the radio yesterday noon how to prevent it.”

"There is a fax machine, right? Send a copy to our Binjiang City Defense Finger."

"Mayor Qin, what should I do?"

"I sign." Vice Mayor Qin took out a pen, made comments under the materials, signed his name, and handed it to Han Yu.

Vice Mayor Qin saw Deputy Commander Tao dumbfounded and explained: "Although we in Binjiang are confident that the Yangtze River embankment can block the flood, we have several Jiangxin Islands. Xianyu is right, don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst, 10,000 If a dyke breaks, if precautions are taken, casualties can be minimized."
