Chapter 216: The Great Flood Peak is coming
“…… Due to the early rainy season, the rainfall was large and concentrated, resulting in the ferocious and long-lasting flood, and it was in the middle of the summer harvest season, causing extremely serious losses. The flood affected 18 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country, but the affected areas were mainly concentrated in the Huai River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with Donghai Province and Jianghuai Province being the two provinces most severely affected......"
“…… More than 48 million people were affected by the disaster, accounting for almost 70% of the total population of the province, while 267 people died due to the disaster, and the area of crops affected was as high as more than 4.3 million hectares, and the direct economic losses were nearly 7 billion yuan. More than 42 million people were affected in Donghai Province, accounting for 62% of the total population of the province, with 164 deaths, 3 million hectares of crops affected and direct economic losses of 9 billion yuan......"
Looking at the seemingly ordinary numbers on the internal reference documents, Su Chenyu felt how huge the disaster this flood had brought to the entire East China region.
Thinking about the scenes he saw near the Pengcheng area, and thinking about the confused eyes of those fathers and villagers in Sujia Village, Su Chenyu's mind couldn't calm down for a long time.
The great difficulty will rejuvenate the country, and then show the strength of the people.
In the face of the menacing flood, our country, our communists, and our people's soldiers used their bodies to build a great wall of flesh and blood for the people behind them.
Because the main stream of Yishui passes around Pengcheng, the Yishui Pengcheng embankment has become the front line and the last line of defense for Pengcheng to face this flood. Once the Yishui Pengcheng embankment bursts, the entire Pengcheng area will face the impact of the flood of the main stream of Yishui -- the lives and property of millions of people will be in danger.
Now the floods of the major tributaries of Yishui alone have already seriously affected the entire county below Pengcheng, and if the main stream of Yishui really breaks on the side of the Yishui embankment, then the consequences are unimaginable -- the entire Pengcheng city will be submerged in the flood in an instant.
Blood can be shed, people can die, and the embankment cannot be broken.
Therefore, on the Yishui embankment, on the front line facing the flood, the temporary Pengcheng District Flood Fighting Frontline Headquarters was stationed here -- facing the flood directly.
Even, because Tian Mingli, the secretary of the municipal party committee, has been sticking to the Yishui embankment, the office staff of the entire Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government have basically moved to the front line of the flood.
In the front-line headquarters of the disaster resistance at the Yishui Embankment, Tian Mingli was smoking with a heavy face, and several other comrades were also smoking with bad faces.
On the table in the center of the tent was a telegram, an urgent notice from the National Defense Headquarters.
According to the forecast of the National Defense Headquarters, the continuous heavy rainfall in the northern part of the East China Sea will continue for some time to come, and the main stream of Yishui will usher in the largest wave of flood peaks since the beginning of summer this year.
This emergency notice was like a sledgehammer, striking everyone's hearts, and everyone knew that the real test was coming -- the safety of the lives and property of millions of people behind them hung on this line.
After smoking the last puff of cigarette vigorously, Tian Mingli snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and then said: "Comrades, have you seen the emergency notice of the National Defense Headquarters? ”
"Secretary, the information from the upstream shows that this wave may be much larger than the previous ones. Mayor Wang Wuping lit another cigarette, and then said with a heavy face: "Although the Yishui embankment has been reinforced by the previous flood peaks, it may not be able to withstand this wave of flood peaks." Should we move the people in the urban area now, I'm afraid it will be too late. ”
Ma Qiang, deputy secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee, also said with some worry: "Yes, it's still too late to transfer." ”
"Move the masses first, and then fight this wave. Zhao Feng, executive vice mayor of Pengcheng City, also said approvingly.
Subsequently, several other leaders of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee also said that for the sake of the safety of the people, it is better to move to a safe place first.
Tian Mingli took a puff of cigarette with a deep face, and then asked Yu Mingguo, commander of the Pengcheng Military Division, and Shen Muye, commander of a field division of the Jinling Military Region who came to support, "What do you two think?"
"Secretary Tian, we soldiers have only one principle - not to retreat from fighting to the death. Shen Muye said loudly.
Yu Mingguo also said: "Secretary Tian, our military sub-district absolutely obeys the command of the municipal party committee, and as long as it goes up to the embankment, it will never take half a step back." ”
After listening to the words of the two army leaders, Tian Mingli's heart calmed down a little, and then he said: "The comrades all said that they wanted to transfer, but where to transfer? You must know that once the Yishui embankment cannot be held, the entire Pengcheng will instantly become Zeguo, where is there still a place to transfer?"
"Moreover, once the Yishui embankment cannot be held, not only will the Pengcheng area face a catastrophe, but the transportation arteries in the entire eastern part of our country will also be cut off. You must know that our region is the traffic intersection of the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and once the embankment cannot be held, then the two major transportation arteries of north and south and east and west will be cut off. ”
Looking at the people staring at him, Tian Mingli stood up and knocked heavily on the table: "For the sake of the millions of people behind us, and for the safety and smoothness of the country's transportation, the Yishui Embankment must be defended no matter what. ”
At this time, the faces of the few people who had just said that they were going to transfer the masses were a little ashamed, yes, their pattern was too small - they forgot the importance of Pengcheng to the country's transportation security. At this time, they also understood that no matter what, the Yishui embankment must be guarded.
"Secretary, do you want to ask for support from the X Army stationed in the garrison?" Wang Wuping, who reacted, secretly said that his strategic pattern was too small, and then hurriedly asked Tian Mingli: "It seems that the manpower on our side is a little insufficient, once the embankment breaks, it will not be able to be blocked at all with these manpower." ”
Tian Mingli nodded, and then said: "Let's ask the garrison troops for some more support, but most of them have already gone to the Huai River embankment, and I don't know if there is any extra strength to reinforce us." ”
Subsequently, they discussed the specific work of fighting floods, especially the key supervision of several weak embankment sections on the various tributaries of Yishui, and the implementation of the system of assigning responsibility to cadres -- Wang Wuping, Ma Qiang, Zhao Feng, and other leaders of the city party committee should personally go to the points.
After sending several leaders of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee away, Tian Mingli and several military leaders made a summary of the next deployment, and then took the time to rest. As soon as he closed his eyes, Tian Mingli fell asleep, and the secretary Xiao Wang hurriedly covered him with a blanket.
In the past few days, Tian Mingli is really tired, because of the continuous heavy rainfall, the Yishui has surged again, and he is worried that the flood will break through the embankment at once, so he and the soldiers stick to the various dangerous areas on the embankment. Moreover, Tian Mingli also has to be concerned about the flood fighting situation in the next county and district from time to time, and make arrangements for new flood fighting and rescue work at any time.
When Su Chenyu followed Tian Xiaolu into the tent, the secretary Xiao Wang hurriedly walked over lightly and said to the two: "The secretary just fell asleep, you two should sit aside and wait." ”
Tian Xiaolu, who came to send Tian Mingli a change of clothes, looked at his father who was full of exhaustion, and said in a choked voice: "Uncle Wang, my father hasn't rested for the past few days?"
"It's raining so much these days that the secretary doesn't have much time to rest at all. Xiao Wang sighed and said, Tian Mingli is definitely Xiao Wang's benchmark in his career, and he admires himself as a big "boss" from the bottom of his heart.
Su Chenyu pulled Tian Xiaolu, who was full of tears, and sat quietly on the side, looking at Tian Mingli who was leaning on his body and napping, his nose was sore, and tears were about to burst out of his eyes - a yellow cloth short-sleeved shirt full of mud, his face was full of exhaustion and tiredness, and a few silver threads were newly climbed on his temples.
This is our Communists, who, when the masses of the people are in danger, will always rush to the front line without hesitation -- to build a flesh-and-blood defense line for the common people behind them.
After about half an hour, Tian Mingli woke up suddenly, and then shouted: "Xiao Wang, how is the situation on the embankment? Is there any new situation in the following counties and districts?"
"Secretary, now that Senior Commander Shen and Commander Yu are watching from the embankment, there is nothing coming down now. Xiao Wang hurriedly replied, "You can rest for a while." ”
"No need. ”
"Dad. Tian Xiaolu choked up and shouted, she felt that her father was much haggard than the last time she saw him, and her face was full of tiredness.
At this time, Tian Mingli found Tian Xiaolu and Su Chenyu on the side, and then said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, have you come back from abroad? When did you come back? Xiaolu, what are you doing here again? ”
"Dad, my mother asked me and Xiaoyu to send you a few clothes, what do you see in your clothes?" Tian Xiaolu said distressedly.
Su Chenyu also said distressedly: "Godfather, you also have to pay attention to your body." ”
"Well, I know, I know. Tian Mingli was really happy to see Su Chenyu, and said with a smile: "Since your kid is back, why do you want to do something in your hometown?
Subsequently, Tian Mingli handed Su Chenyu the emergency notice of the National Defense General Headquarters, no need to ask, Secretary Tian Da was asking Su Dashao about the plan -- "Xiao Zhuge " was not blown out.
Su Chenyu thought about some experiences in foreign and future generations of 98 flood fighting, and after organizing the language, he introduced them to Tian Mingli one by one. After listening to Su Chenyu's introduction, Tian Mingli hurriedly summoned the two leaders of the army and several experts sent by the Donghai Provincial Water Conservancy Department to discuss the feasibility of these proposals.
The final result is obvious, several of Su Chenyu's suggestions are very efficient and practical, and after a few people discussed it, they are ready to implement it on the Yishui embankment immediately.
At this moment, Xiao Wang led a few people into the tent, and then said, "Secretary, these are reporters from the provincial TV station, and they want to interview you." ”
"Secretary Tian, hello, we ......"
A young female reporter in the lead was just about to explain her intentions when she was interrupted by a voice.
"Secretary Tian, the news from the upstream comrades that Da Hongfeng may arrive ahead of schedule. ”
