Chapter 606: Major Changes
The funeral home in Lujiang City has a solemn atmosphere.
The memorial service and farewell ceremony of the three martyrs Yu Danning, Tong Dazhu and Luo Feifei are being held here.
In the hall, the family members, relatives and friends of several families, colleagues of Hucheng Group, leaders from all walks of life, and friends from all walks of life in Li Hucheng filled the hall.
Outside the hall, the masses from Lujiang and Guanshan braved the light rain and looked outside.
Every year, late July and early August are the rainy seasons in the Green River area, and it is also the season when floods are frequent.
This year's rain is relatively heavy, with six consecutive days of heavy rain, causing the water levels of various rivers in the territory of the Green River to soar, especially the Green River.
The entire urban area of the Green River is next to the Green River, and it is only separated by a dam from the Green River.
This embankment is the guardian of the safety of the urban area of the Green River.
The embankment of the urban area is upstream of the urban area, and once it bursts, the entire urban area of the Green River will be flooded. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people in urban areas, and the safety of factories and other property will be seriously threatened.
Therefore, this section of the eastern suburbs is a key part of flood control every year.
When the flood rises relatively fast, the levees should be heightened and reinforced.
But this year's floods were too big and too ferocious. Although the embankment was also reinforced, it could not keep up with the rising water level.
The main reason is that the working face is relatively small, although some sand bags are also pulled from the outside to raise the embankment, but it is basically a manual operation, and the efficiency is very low.
Mayor Sun Xiulan and Deputy Mayor and Flood Control Commander Cong Guosheng had no choice but to ask Hucheng Group for help.
We want to use large equipment such as excavators, cranes, bulldozers, forklifts, and dump trucks from Tiger City Group to help raise and strengthen the embankment.
After receiving the request, Yu Danning didn't say a word, and rushed to the scene of Lujiang with Lin Weiguo, Tong Dazhu and others, large machinery and equipment, and trucks.
After more than three hours of rescue, the embankment was finally heightened and reinforced, so that this section was out of danger.
Just as they were about to withdraw to Guanshan, about a kilometer upstream, the pipe surge phenomenon was suddenly detected.
Pipe gushing is a phenomenon in which soil particles in the dam or on the dam foundation are carried away by seepage in the case of high water level during the flood season.
If the water level remains high upstream for a long time, the levee may be hollowed out, and eventually the levee will collapse, causing the levee to burst.
If it is not dealt with in a timely manner, it will inevitably cause major disasters.
There was a major danger, and the rescue team of Hucheng Group could not be withdrawn, so they immediately rushed to the scene for rescue.
At this time, the water surface near the embankment has been violently flipped over, which proves that the danger is very serious.
The other rescue teams don't have any big machinery, and it's not much use to stay.
Yu Danning, Sun Xiulan and others immediately made a decision to withdraw the other rescue personnel, leaving only the people of the Hucheng Group to rescue here.
Just as Denning was standing on the embankment to direct the rescue, the embankment suddenly began to collapse. The flood quickly invaded the levee, and soon half of the levee was swallowed up.
Meng Shulin drove a dump truck and poured a truckload of sandbags into the gap, but it didn't work. The gap is still widening rapidly, and the remaining levees are about to be washed away.
At this moment, Tong Dazhu arrived with a cart of sandbags, and when he wanted to pour the sandbags into the gap, the dam foundation under the car also began to collapse, and the truck could not get out.
At the moment of life and death, Tong Dazhu simply refueled, drove the truck into the gap, and blocked the gap with the truck.
He wanted to get out after driving in, but the truck was quickly flooded and the doors could not be opened.
Seeing that Tong Dazhu was in danger, Yu Danning was eager to save people, so he jumped into the water and tried to help Tong Dazhu open the car door.
Seeing Yu Danning go down, Luo Feifei did not hesitate to jump down.
Just as the two struggled to help open the car door and Tong Dazhu was about to come out, a big wave rushed in, the truck overturned, and the three people were flooded by the water at the same time.
The whirlpool caused by the overturning of the truck engulfed the three men, and they were soon swept into the river again, down the river.
As soon as Meng Shulin and the others here saw that the three of them were swept away by the water, they immediately went into the water to save people.
The assault boat over there also rushed over and tried to save people.
After Tong Dazhu's truck was launched, it blocked the progress of the embankment, but the danger was not under control.
Lin Weiguo couldn't take care of Yu Danning and the others, and he had to command his own people to rescue the emergency.
At this time, it was difficult to get close to the embankment, so the excavator had to dig the earth not far away and pour it into the gap.
The flour that was urgently pulled from the grain depot was packed into tons of bags, which were then lifted by a crane and put into the gap in the embankment.
After half an hour of life-and-death battle, the gap was finally blocked, the embankment was saved, and the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of residents in the downstream Lujiang urban area were protected.
More than an hour later, under the search and rescue of three assault boats, Yu Danning, Tong Dazhu, and Luo Feifei were fished up in the place where the water flow at the mouth of the Green River was slow.
At this time, the three of them had no vital signs, and although they were rushed to the hospital for rescue, it was too late.
In order to save the river embankment, the three died heroically.
Li Hucheng and Ma Shaoyun traveled day and night, and when they arrived at the Green River, it was already a day later.
Looking at the portraits of several people, Li Hucheng felt heartache, and his tears couldn't stop flowing again. I can't help but think of scenes from the past.
When he was the most difficult, Yu Danning came to Guanshan, and since then he has shared weal and woe with him and started a business together.
After unremitting struggle, he has survived countless difficulties and obstacles, and finally succeeded in his career.
Just when he could enjoy the fruits of entrepreneurship, his dear wife, the most important assistant in his career, left forever.
When the investment attraction of the specialty city failed and everyone else was watching the joke, it was Tong Dazhu who took Tong Erzhu and wanted to give all his few savings to Li Hucheng to help him tide over the difficulties.
Over the years, as the vice president of Sanjian, Tong Dazhu has done his best to assist Lin Weiguo and built Sanjian into a first-class construction company in the country.
He was always so diligent, hardworking, and silently dedicated.
At the beginning, Luo Feifei trusted herself and came to Guanshan from the Green River to be Yu Danning's secretary.
Over the years, Luo Feifei has already become the absolute backbone of Hucheng Group. Supposedly, it's perfectly fine to be the president of a company.
But Luo Feifei always stayed by Yu Danning's side and did her best to serve Danning.
This time she could have been fine, but in order to protect Yu Danning and rescue Tong Dazhu, she stepped forward without hesitation and resolutely jumped into the water.
Denning, Dazhu, Feifei, you guys are so stupid.
The embankment of the Green River is not the embankment of Guanshan, why do you have to work so hard.
If hundreds of thousands of people in the urban area of Lujiang don't come, will it be your turn to work hard for them? Do they know who you are?
Dazhu, you are a peasant, that is, those buns, mountain cannons, old dumplings, hillbillies in the city population, when will it be your turn to sacrifice for them?
What would the city folks say when they talked about it?
Oh, a rural man, what's his name? What is the big pillar? Why is this name so rustic? Why is he so stupid, he drove the car into the river, is it not good at technology?
In a few days, how many people will remember your name? They don't even bother to know what your name is.
