Riverside police

The wind and waves in the Jingjiang River are not as big as those at the end of the Yangtze River, but the barge still rocks violently due to the current.

For Han Yu, who has lived on a boat for so many years, sleeping rocking on a boat is very comfortable. But for people who have never been on a boat, it is difficult to fall asleep when the boat is rocking, and it may even cause dizziness and seasickness.

Vice Mayor Qin and Deputy Commander Tao may not be used to resting on the boat, so they have to wait for Wu Haili, Zou Xiangyu and others to return before sleeping.

They are here to offer condolences, how can they offer condolences without seeing anyone?

Han Yu neither asked them to go back to the "guest room" to rest, nor did he accompany them to eat and drink. After eating and drinking, he went to the water room to take a bath and change clothes, and then went upstairs to seize the time to sleep.

I will be very busy next time, so I have to sleep even if I can’t sleep. Otherwise, I don’t know how many days it will take before I can get a good night’s sleep.

Han Gong was accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early. Han Yu went back to the dormitory and lay down. He quickly fell asleep listening to his father-in-law's snoring.

Maybe I slept for a long time in the afternoon, but my sleep was not as good as in the afternoon. After I fell asleep, I actually had a dream. I dreamed of holding little Hanhan and going to the East China Sea to look at a house with my senior sister.

Hanhan liked Donghai's new home very much. As soon as he entered the house, he struggled to jump down, ran to the bedroom to take a look, ran to the balcony to play, and disappeared while running.

He was so anxious that his senior sister was even more anxious and crying.

Seeing that the living room door was open, I thought Hanhan might have ran out.

The couple quickly divided the work. One took the elevator downstairs to look for it, and the other went down the fire stairs to look for it. They shouted and looked for it, looking for it layer by layer, but they couldn't find it!

Just as I was feeling anxious, my father-in-law's voice came to my ears.

"San'er, San'er."

"Dad, why are you here? Have you seen Han Han?"

"Hanhan is at home. Did you have a nightmare?"

"It's a dream, just dream, it scared me to death." Han Yu suddenly woke up and confirmed that it was just a dream, feeling relieved.

Han Gong subconsciously asked: "Are you dreaming about Hanhan?"

"I dreamed that Han Han was lost. I was really tired from sleeping. I was busy looking for Han Han with Ning Ning. If you hadn't called me, I don't know when I would have found her."

"You are missing your child. Please wait until daybreak to call home. You haven't called home in several days."

"Dad, what time is it now?"

"At half past four, get up quickly. Director Yu is calling you. There seems to be a situation on the river."

"Oh, I'm getting dressed."

Han Yu hurriedly put on his clothes, picked up the walkie-talkie and charged his cell phone with the help of his father-in-law, opened the door and walked out of the "weather support room".

The engineering fleet is back, and the lights on the river are brightly lit.

It was already half past four, and Deputy Mayor Qin and Deputy Commander Tao were still awake. They were talking to Wu Haili, who had just returned, in the command and dispatch room.

Han Yu rubbed his eyes, opened the door and walked into the command and dispatch room. He yawned and asked, "Director Yu, what's going on?"

Deputy Director Yu was also just woken up by his colleagues. He pointed to the water area map and said: "Linggang Tow 001 reported that there seems to be a small boat on the river near here."

At 4:30 in the morning, how could there be a boat on the river? This area has been closed to navigation.

Han Yu felt very strange and immediately raised the intercom: "Linggang Tow 001, I am Han Yu, reporting the situation."

"Secretary Han, we saw something drifting on the water on the radar. At first we thought it was a small boat, but now it doesn't look like it."

"How come it doesn't look like it?"

"It's split in two, and they're all drifting with the tide."

Han Yu raised his hand to say hello to Deputy Mayor Qin and Deputy Commander Tao, opened the door and walked to the side of the ship, stretching out his arms to feel the wind on the river. Then he returned to the command podium and raised the intercom again: "What I saw on the radar is Well, what’s the measuring range and which one are you using?”

"One point five nautical miles."

"Did you call 001?"

"Secretary Han, this is Liu Wei. I'm in the small 001 cab. I also saw it from here. I just broke down. Do you want to lift the anchor and go over to see what's going on?"

"Okay, you go over and take a look."

…

Han Yu put down the walkie-talkie and asked, "Director Yu, have you reported the water situation?"

Before Deputy Director Yu could speak, Lao Wei, a staff member of the Traffic Control Center of the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau who was on duty tonight, raised his head and said: "It was reported two hours ago that the water level in Sarawak City was 44.72 meters. In the past 12 hours, it has risen by nearly a meter. rice."

The peak of the flood is still so far away from Sarawak, and the water level in Sarawak has already risen so high. It can be seen that when the peak of the flood reaches Sarawak, the water level in Sarawak is likely to rise to the 45-meter flood diversion line!

What is even more worrying is that my father-in-law said last night that through his observations and analysis based on feedback from meteorological stations in the upper reaches, whether in the medium or short term, in the next few days starting from today, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the Three Gorges, and the Qingjiang River will There will be heavy to heavy rains in the basin, and the reservoirs upstream are all full.

This is a difficult time to go through.

Han Yu calmed down and asked: "Brother Wei, has Fang Zhi arranged a rescue mission for us?"

"A piping surge was found in the Lingjiang section, and Mr. Hao has arranged for someone to go there."

"What about our side?"

"We don't have it here at the moment."

The sections of the embankment that should be protected have been protected. As for the sections of the embankment that should be reinforced, there are too many. It can be said that the entire line must be reinforced. It cannot be reinforced with three excavators and three loaders, and it is too late to carry out the construction step by step now.

The next thing for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who have been standing on the main embankment of the Yangtze River for hundreds of miles is to use sandbags to build up the sub-embankment. The sub-embankment must be built as high as the flood rises.

If there is work to do, just do it without thinking about anything.

Suddenly I was free, and I felt panicked. I could really feel the tense atmosphere before the war was about to begin.

Han Yu took a few deep breaths and asked, "Is there any news from Mr. An?"

"have."

Lao Wei picked up the duty phone record and said while reading: "The cause of the breach has been clarified. The breach is located in the Yanjiatai Embankment section, with pile numbers 53+500~54+000, 500 meters long, and belongs to the Dama Management Area of ​​Mengxi Town. Group 6 of Baogang belongs to the dangerous section of rushing against the current.

The embankment surface is 8 meters wide. The slope ratio of the embankment outer slope above 41 meters is 1:3, and the following is 1:22. There is no river beach, but there is a stone slope protection project. There is a second-level platform in the embankment, with a slope ratio of 1:3. The first-level platform is 4 meters wide, and the second-level platform is 6 meters wide. Below the platform is a swamp pond with a water depth of 0.6 to 1.2 meters..."

Vice Mayor Qin frowned and said, "Xianyu, from the basic situation, it seems that Angong County has worked hard on this embankment section."

"Yes, this section of the embankment should not breach."

Han Yu nodded and asked Old Wei to continue.

Old Wei took a sip of water, looked at the phone record and read: "On July 5, a middle school student found a small trachoma leaking from the grass pond, so he went to the sentry post to report the danger. The sentry post reported it to the commander in charge of the Hudu River flood control. According to the branch report, the branch believes that the danger is not serious and only reminds people to pay attention to the observation."

"July 5th?"

"Well, I discovered it a month ago."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Han Yu raised the walkie-talkie again and shouted: "Keep the pine, keep the pine, have you rested?"

"I just lay down and haven't slept yet. Secretary Han, what are your instructions?"

"No instructions, let me ask something, have you ever been to Yanjiatai before?"

"We have been there. Xi Gong and Yao Gong went to Yanjiatai to find us."

"While you were there, did you ever hear of water coming out of the place?"

"Yes. When we received the news, we surrounded it with sandbags and made a filter well. Cadres from the Hudu River Command Branch of the Prevention Office came to see it and said it was not a big problem. They asked the village cadres to pay attention and left."

"It's nothing, just take the time to rest."

Han Yu put down the walkie-talkie and looked at Old Wei again.

Lao Wei hurriedly said: "On July 25, a primary school student discovered a fist-sized hole with water gushing out while grazing cattle by the grass pond. After investigation, it was only 0.5 meters away from the foot of the second-level platform, and the diameter of the pipe outlet was 0.05 meters. , a sand table of 1.5 square meters, a sand dune of 0.15 meters, and muddy water.

There was a piping with a diameter of 0.01 meters 0.6 meters away from the first piping mouth. The embankment guards immediately built a three-level filtering well at the request of the command branch. At the same time, it was discovered that two more piping occurred 0.5 meters from the foot of the secondary platform in Caotang, one using a secondary well filter and the other using a filter pile...

At 0:15 today, the patrol team patrolled the embankment on a motorcycle. With the help of motorcycle headlights, they discovered that the water in the upstream pond had almost reached the level of the newly filled platform. They also found a pond about 10 meters away from the foot of the secondary platform. During the incident, a pipe with a diameter of more than one meter was pouring out of the muddy water. Report to the headquarters immediately.

At 0:20, the embankment began to fall, and there were vertical and horizontal cracks on the embankment surface with a width of 0.06 meters. At 00:40, the embankment breached 30 meters. As of one hour ago, the breach had reached 185 meters wide, and the estimated maximum flow rate was about 900 cubic meters per second. "

Another collapse caused by piping surge!

Deputy Commander Tao was silent for a moment and whispered: "Guan Yong is so difficult to protect, why is it that Guan Yong is the one?"

"We discovered it as early as July 5th, the day we set off from our hometown! It's not that it was difficult to rush for protection, but that there was no rush for protection at all. This was a breach that should not have happened. It can be said that it was a case of carelessness and carelessness. A serious accident caused by neglect of defense and collapse without taking action!"

"Xianyu, didn't they rush to protect it? They built a filter well and a filter pile."

"That's not emergency protection, that's just a stop-gap measure. The only way to deal with the danger of piping surges is to 'intercept externally and guide internally'. Not only did they fail to intercept externally, that is, find and plug leaks, but they also failed to conduct internal guidance well. Like this In this case, sub-banks should be built around the pit and pond to store water for back-pressure, and the wells and filter piles made previously should not be filled with earthwork."

Han Yu took a deep breath and continued: "Moreover, he knew that it was a dangerous section, and even knew that there was a danger of piping. However, it took 35 days from the discovery of the danger to the collapse, but he did not arrange a fixed dedicated team to defend the danger, nor did he prepare the necessary rescue materials. , let alone formulated a rescue plan. This is dereliction of duty, and the person responsible for the flood control of the Hudu River Embankment section should be arrested or sentenced!"

Vice Mayor Qin couldn't help but ask: "Xianyu, if we encounter such a situation in Binjiang, what should we do?"

"The first thing is to find the leak and plug it. If we can't find the leak, we can only 'internally guide it', that is, build a guide and filter well. Then arrange a fixed special shift to be on duty. The special shift personnel include cadres, young laborers, and people in charge of lighting. Electricians, etc., must have secure communications and report any changes in danger in a timely manner. At the same time, sandbags, stones, geotextiles and other materials must be prepared to be ready for emergency protection at any time.”

"Very professional. After you return, you can be transferred to the Office of the Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters as deputy director."

"Mayor Qin, don't be joking. I am not professional at all. The main thing is that I have to learn and understand what I am doing now. What I just said is not only known to me, but also to all the officers and soldiers of our battalion. We have organized training , and an exam was organized after the training.”

"I almost forgot, you are the chief instructor of the military and local flood fighting and rescue skills training class."

The subordinates and juniors were outstanding, and Vice Mayor Qin was very honorable. He turned around and said, "Deputy Commander Tao, Xianyu has been engaged in water law enforcement and rescue since he was sixteen years old, and has been participating in flood fighting and rescue operations. He may not understand things on the shore, but As long as it involves water, there’s nothing he doesn’t understand.”

"Mayor Qin, it's not as exaggerated as you said."

"It's no exaggeration. It can be seen from the anchoring request made to the engineering fleet at night that you always have safety in your mind. If Ningning hadn't been at the Port Supervision Bureau, my Lao Zhu would have transferred you to the port long ago. It’s the supervisory bureau.”

"Mayor Qin, Ning Ning works at the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau, so I can't go to the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau?"

"It's not good for two people to be in the same unit."

"Why is it not good for two people to be in the same unit?"

"You can go back and ask your senior brother. He and Zhang Lan used to be in the Public Security Bureau. He feels the most."

Thinking of how powerful Han Xiangning was, Wu Haili couldn't help but joked: "Secretary Han, you still think your tutoring is not strict enough?"

Han Yu suddenly reacted and said with an embarrassed look: "Think about it, it's not good for two people to be in the same unit."

It turned out to be a strict wife!

Deputy Commander Tao was amused and was about to make a few jokes when Liu Wei's call came over the intercom: "Secretary Han, Secretary Han, what is floating on the river is really a boat, a small wooden boat, an assault boat from the Tiaoguan Police Station! Let me first transfer Tiaoguan Police Station The policemen from the Guan Police Station sent them to the barge, and then sent Director Cao from the Tenth Government Office to the mouth of the river."

"what's the situation?"

"They are all cadres. They have been floating on the river for ten hours. If we hadn't found something abnormal on the radar, they... they would be really in danger."

Drifting on the river in the middle of the night is not only a bit dangerous, but you might actually end up in the belly of a fish.

Considering that the rescued cadre must be very cold, Han Yu immediately asked the cooking team to prepare some hot meals, and then went downstairs to wait for 001 to return.

The rescue water area is less than three kilometers away from the base of the first team, otherwise the radar would not be able to detect it with a range of 1.5 nautical miles.

Deputy Mayor Qin and Deputy Teacher Tao also wanted to know what was going on. They went downstairs with Han Yu and waited in the corridor for about ten minutes. 001 slowly approached them dragging a small wooden boat and an assault boat.

Zhu Baogen has worked on 001 for so many years and has rescued many people, but he has never rescued more than a dozen cadres at once. He threw up the cable and reminded them in Linghai Mandarin: "Don't worry, leaders, wait for the ship to dock." Okay, let’s go over there.”

Han Yu put on his gloves and asked while tying the cable: "Who is Director Cao?"

"I!"

A middle-aged cadre who was shivering with cold raised his hand and said with a grimace: "Captain Han, thank you. I'm sorry for causing you trouble in the middle of the night."

Han Yu tied the cable, took off his gloves and helped everyone onto the barge. He entered the port supervisor's duty room beside the corridor, picked up the remote control and turned off the air conditioner, and asked, "Director Cao, how could you do this?"

"Didn't the people in Hekou Town move away? This afternoon, no, it should be yesterday afternoon, the city held a disaster relief work meeting in Tiaoguan and established a disaster relief working group. I am the leader."

Director Cao took a sip of the hot water poured by Wu Haili and continued: "After the meeting, we have to go to Jiangbei quickly. Tens of thousands of people live on the embankment, crowded in shacks. It doesn't matter what they want. We won't worry if we don't hurry there. . But the wind was strong on the river, and the cadres of Tiaoguan Town said they could not find a boat and asked us to stay in the town for one night.

We didn't dare to wait, so we found a way to find a wooden boat and asked the master to take us across the river. But the night was dark and windy, the waves were getting higher and higher, and the boat was heaving and swaying. No matter how hard the master rowed, it would not move forward and would always spin on the river. Since we couldn't rely on the sandbank, we thought of a way to use a lighter to burn paper to send a distress signal.

The comrades from Tiaoguan Police Station happened to be returning from the mouth of the river in an assault boat and came to rescue us when they saw the fire. But the assault boat was too small to accommodate so many people, so I asked a few town cadres to take the assault boat from the Tiaoguan Police Station and leave first. Several comrades from the headquarters and I waited on the small wooden boat.

As a result, when people are unlucky, their teeth are choked when they drink cold water. The Zodiac suddenly stalls not far away, and they can only be at the mercy of the wind and waves like us, without any ability to resist. Captain Han, I’m not afraid of your jokes, we all thought we were going to answer on the river this time! "

The village embankment on the other side has opened its mouth to drain the flood, and the town of Hekou has disappeared from the map. The current river surface is wider than the river surface in Linghai Development Zone. It is really vast.

The wind and waves are quite strong tonight, and the current is so fast.

They stood in a stalemate with the vast and ruthless Yangtze River and strong and frequent winds and waves for ten hours. They really experienced a life-and-death struggle. Looking at their shocked faces, you can tell how they survived these ten hours.

Tens of thousands of people were crowded on the embankment diagonally across the bank. The party and the government asked people to leave their homes and protect their families. They could not mobilize people to move to the embankment and left them alone.

Han Yu could understand their eagerness to cross the river yesterday evening, because tens of thousands of people really needed a backbone now.

Although they go empty-handed, as long as they go, they can represent the party and the government, appease the people, avoid major epidemics and unstable events, and the tens of thousands of people who have lost their homes can also see hope when they see them.

Seeing them shivering from the cold, Han Yu was very moved and couldn't help but ask: "Director Cao, you should know that we are here, why don't you call us?"

Director Cao hesitated for a moment and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Captain Han, I am the deputy director."

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that not all cadres had mobile phones. Even in Linghai, where the economy was much better than Shishou, in many departments, only the top leaders were equipped with mobile phones, while the deputies did not have mobile phones, and at most they were equipped with pagers.

Vice Mayor Qin was also deeply moved and asked in a low voice: "Director Cao, which units do the comrades of the disaster relief team come from?"

Han Yu quickly introduced: "This is Vice Mayor Qin of our Binjiang City. Mayor Qin came here specifically to express condolences to us."

Although Director Cao is not the top leader, he has seen the world and knows that Binjiang is a prefecture-level city. He hurriedly said: "Hello, Mayor Qin, the members of our working group come from twelve units including the Civil Affairs Bureau, Labor Bureau, Health Bureau, and Trade Unions, as well as Some comrades from Hekou Town.”

"Well done, well done to you all!"

"Thank you, Mayor Qin, for your praise. We didn't expect it to be like this. It's hard to say enough..."

When the small wooden boat and the stalled assault boat were hit by wind and waves, and everyone faced life-threatening danger again and again, Deputy Director Cao could not care less about fear, because he knew that only by preserving the will to survive could he survive.

The despair and helplessness of the people on the boat left him no time to think. He had to constantly cheer everyone up and help them overcome their fear of death.

When a man sheds tears, he doesn't shed them easily, but they are not sad yet.

Now that he was saved from a desperate situation, he could no longer control himself and burst into tears as he spoke.
