With so many people and few tents, the soldiers of the 132nd Regiment could only sleep in the open air with their pillows on sandbags.

There are many mosquitoes and the ground is cold. If it rains, everyone will become a drowned rat. Not only will they not have a good rest, but they will also get sick easily.

Fortunately, I asked the headquarters for piles of wood. The headquarters really didn’t know where to find them, so they actually asked the Forestry Bureau to send six ships of bamboo through the long-distance voyage logistics support team.

Bamboo cannot be piled, but it can be used to build scaffolding and tents. Han Yu accepted all orders.

Seeing that the large and small ships that were transporting emergency supplies had canvas covering the cargo holds, he simply asked Qiu Xueliang to give them a few receipts and requisition all the canvases! As for how much the canvas was worth, he asked them to go to Boss Huang together with the freight.

Settle accounts.

It's easier with canvas.

Ask Staff Officer Dai and Company Commander Wu to organize the officers and soldiers to transport the bamboo to the embankment, use lead wire (iron wire) to build a frame first, cut canvas on site to cover it, and then fix it with iron wire.

There is strength in numbers.

In less than two hours, six large tents were set up!

The nearby villagers who did not evacuate with the "big troops" realized that the People's Liberation Army was risking their lives to help them defend their homes, so they spontaneously went back overnight to transport a lot of straw. Some villagers even brought their own mats and mosquito nets.

People's soldiers do not take advantage of the masses, and mass discipline is very important.

Straw is not worth a lot of money, and it is indeed needed now, but mats and mosquito nets must not be collected. On behalf of the emergency rescue commando team, Staff Officer Dai declined the villagers' good intentions and reminded them that they could not go down the embankment to go home without permission from the county party committee and county government.

There were dry straws for cushions and tents to protect them from the wind and dew. The soldiers slept soundly.

When I woke up, it was already bright.

When I walked out of the big tent, I saw that the more than 40-meter embankment at the junction with the cofferdam was four or five meters wider than when I slept at night!

The large excavator of the "Hong Kong Garrison" is still digging soil under the embankment. The two strange-looking large dump trucks are transporting soil to the dry embankment on both sides of the breach. The three large forklifts and the bulldozer are heightening and widening the breach.

The dry embankments on both sides were busy.

Looking back at the "landing point", I was surprised to find that the landing point had also been heightened and reinforced.

The construction road leading from the "landing point" to the embankment showed that it had been rebuilt at night, and the slope was gentler than before. There were actually three road rollers parked at the bottom of the slope, and the large rollers of two of them looked as tall as a person.

The embankments on both sides of the "landing point" are still areas where emergency supplies are piled. Two officers from the "Hong Kong Garrison" are holding folders and counting in the yard...

"Stop looking, there's nothing good to see!"

Company Commander Wu walked over quickly and shouted: "Seventh Platoon Leader, Eighth Platoon Leader, and Ninth Platoon Leader, please arrange two people each to go with the Chief of Staff to the tent of the logistics group of the 'Hong Kong Garrison' to collect toiletries and labor protection supplies. Once you get them back, organize them immediately."

distribution."

"yes!"

"I haven't finished talking yet, what is it?"

Captain Wu snorted coldly and continued: "There are two fire brigade water tankers in front of us. After receiving the toiletries, we line up in groups to wash up. Please clean up for me and brush your teeth properly. Don't clean up.

You are not allowed to eat until you are clean, and you must also pay attention to saving water.”

"yes!"

"Move quickly."

…

Han Yu didn't get up very early, but he didn't sleep in the middle of the night.

I had just finished my shift with Zou Xiangyu, and I was having breakfast in the "senior officers' tent" while talking to an old engineer from the Angong County Water Conservancy Bureau who had finally slept for a few hours.

"Leave later!"

"Secretary Han, I can't bear to leave, but I can't help but leave."

"Is there any danger?" Han Yu asked subconsciously.

Yan Gong looked up at Director Ge and Navy Lieutenant Colonel Feng Qingsong who had just walked in, and said solemnly: "Our county is crisscrossed by rivers, including Songdong, Songxi, Hudu, Ouchi and other eighteen large and small rivers. Most of these rivers

It is the branch channel that diverts river water into Dongting Lake, so our county is also called the 'River Corridor'."

Han Yu only knew that their county was severely affected by the disaster, but did not know the specific situation. He asked in a low voice: "How long is the embankment of the river corridor?"

"The direct water retaining embankment section is 683 kilometers."

"So long!"

"This does not include the 95.74 kilometers of Yangtze River embankments."

As the chief engineer who is most familiar with the county's water conditions, the pressure of strict work is even greater than that of Huang County. He sighed softly and said helplessly: "If we compare the length of embankments in various districts and counties across the country, our county will definitely take the first place.

.

The water level of the Yangtze River has skyrocketed and cannot be discharged downstream, so it has to be discharged into the Dongting Lake from our place. Heavy rains occur in the Dongting Lake Basin, and it cannot be discharged from the lower reaches to the Yangtze River, so it must be discharged into the Yangtze River from our place.

As you know the current situation, the water level of Jingjiang River remains high, and the same is true for Dongting Lake. We are sandwiched between them, and all rivers in the territory are in super-alert and super-guaranteed water level operation status. In other words, most of the towns in our county

There is water higher than the roof of the house all around!"

No wonder the country started the Jingjiang flood diversion project decades ago and included most of the towns in their county into the scope of the flood diversion project.

Flood diversion is easier said than done.

With such a large area involved, how much economic losses would there be if flood diversion were carried out, and how many people would be homeless or even lose everything...

The weather forecast says it will rain again upstream in the next few days.

Han Yu realized that the main battlefield of the Linghai Reserve Battalion was likely to be in their county, and he muttered: "Gong Yan, I will arrange a car to take you off later. If conditions permit, can you arrange for someone to send us a county-wide ticket?"

river distribution maps and traffic maps as detailed as possible.”

"No problem, I'll call the bureau later. We have someone on duty in the bureau."

"It's too late to send someone to familiarize yourself with the river and road conditions now. It's best to arrange for a comrade who is familiar with the situation to come over. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If you encounter a major danger there, we have guides who can provide timely support."

"Secretary Han, I don't know how to thank you..."

"What are you thankful for? We are here to rescue you."

I don’t say thank you for the great favor, and I don’t have time to thank you now.

Yan Gong nodded and asked the question that the county leaders were most concerned about: "Secretary Han, it is inconvenient for the evacuated people to do anything outside. They are very homesick. Secretary Yuan and County Magistrate Huang entrusted me to ask you, after evacuating,

When can the people who went there go home?”

Yesterday afternoon I told the waiter that I would have to wait 21 hours.

It has now been 12 hours. Judging from the progress of the rescue construction and the results of the consultation between XCMG, YaoGong and SunGong just now, the risk of collapse is basically under control.

Han Yu weighed it for a moment, raised his head and said, "You can go home now."

"Great, I'll go out and make a phone call to report to Secretary Yuan and County Magistrate Huang."

"Ge Bureau, we also have to report to the city's defense director. Please give Mayor Shen a call."

"OK."

As soon as Yan Gong and Lao Ge walked out of the tent, Feng Qingsong sat down and asked: "Commander-in-Chief, what are our detachments doing today?"

Han Yu greeted him for breakfast and said with a smile: "We are like the fire brigade now. While continuing to protect the dangerous situation in front of us, we are waiting for the headquarters to dispatch the police."

"As expected of a police officer, he always uses police terminology when he speaks."

"Speaking of which, our battalion has quite a lot of police officers. Although the Road and Bridge Company is the main force in our battalion's emergency response, in fact our battalion is not established on the basis of the Road and Bridge Company. Instead, it is formed by the Water Police, Changhang Police, Port Supervision, and Customs.

, fishery administration and other water law enforcement units, especially formed on the basis of water fire rescue teams."

"Commander-in-Chief, do you think we are half of the same group?"

"Pretty much, I have frequent dealings with your navy."

"Yeah?"

"Really, I ran errands and did odd jobs for your navy, escorted your navy's submarines in and out of the Yangtze River, went to your navy's Guantong Station on a small island in the East China Sea, and accompanied the city leaders to express condolences to the past.

Our Linghai boat is named after Linghai.”

Seeing the happy look of the Navy Lieutenant Colonel, Han Yu added with a smile: "There is an elder who watched me grow up, with the same surname as you, Feng. He also used to be in the Navy, and he is the youngest captain and the oldest in the Navy.

Young deputy division cadre."

Feng Qingsong asked curiously: "Which fleet does that senior belong to?"

"East China Sea Fleet, but he changed his career long ago. He worked as the director of the Binjiang Branch of the Yangtze River Port Supervision Bureau for many years. He was later transferred to Hanwu, and then to COSCO. He is now retired."

"Retired?"

"Um."

There is a lot to do next.

Han Yu didn't bother to chat anymore, finished the porridge in the bowl, and got down to business: "Team Feng, although your team has a small number of people, you must play an important role in the next rescue. We must use your good steel

Use it on the edge of a knife!”

"Commander, who are we? We are not afraid of your jokes. We don't even know what we can do?"

"There's a lot that can be done."

Han Yu put down the tachyon and said very seriously: "The water level remains high and the embankment is soaked in water. There will be more and more dangers of piping. If the leak can be found in time, yesterday will not happen."
