Volume 12 The Wave Stops the Flying Boat Section 37 The Aftermath

The embankment at Bali Lake collapsed an hour and 25 minutes after Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong arrived.

Fortunately, the city was already mentally prepared, and at the same time, two trucks that were about to be scrapped were driven up the embankment, and when one of the levees burst, two trucks full of stones were pushed down, instantly blocking the surging lake.

Fifteen minutes later, however, another embankment of Bali Lake, 850 meters at the front end of Zhanqiao Street, burst again, causing the entire embankment to fall apart, and the flood water poured into the city like a heavenly river, roaring and rushing into the city.

Shang Quanzhi's face was pale, looking at the surging lake with his hands behind his back, his teeth were gritted, in this case, it was no longer meaningful to fill in the soil and plug the leakage, the continuous collapse of the lake embankment was getting bigger and bigger, and the crazy influx of lake water looked so hideous and terrifying in the dark night, and the swaying branches outside the lake embankment were like ghost dances, which made people have a heart-wrenching fear.

Tong Yunsong was also full of despair, holding his wrist with one hand, but he didn't know what to do.

Several people are standing on a high place, watching the swirling lake roll over from under their feet, rushing towards the endless darkness behind them, the armed police behind them have already thrown the rubber boat down, the emergency power supply has also been turned on, Bai Sensen's emergency lights are swaying around in the depression that has become a white expanse, mixed with people greeting each other and giving orders, forming an unparalleled scenery.

Shang Quanzhi tried hard to suppress the fear and anger in his heart, at this time he still had a trace of happiness in his heart, fortunately, the highest level of emergency plan was activated more than an hour in advance, and all the cadres and workers in the urban area had been notified, and the previous rehearsals finally played a role.

If it weren't for Lu Weimin's repeated mention in front of him more than a month ago that he needed to carry out a pre-rehearsal for flood control and flood control, I am afraid that he would not have reluctantly agreed to him to conduct such a rehearsal.

Unexpectedly, the nightmare came true, Bali Lake actually broke the embankment, and fortunately there was such a good luck in the misfortune behind the nightmare, which was warned more than an hour in advance, and it turned out that there were two rehearsals. It finally came in handy.

A minute after the embankment burst, he had already spoken on the phone with Shao Jingchuan, the secretary of the provincial party committee, and reported the truth.

He could hear the suppressed anger in Shao Jingchuan's words, but he could only report truthfully one by one, and he didn't dare to hide it at all.

In fact, it can't be hidden, the water of Bali Lake is connected with the Yangtze River, such a large amount of water influx, it is natural for Songzhou city to be immersed in the water, and I watched the embankment being torn under the fierce lake water, and the mouth was torn bigger and bigger. Sandbags of earth and rocks are useless when thrown down, and they are swept away in an instant, giving people a feeling of helplessness.

Lu Weimin stood behind Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong, his face expressionless, in fact, after the municipal party committee issued the city's highest level of emergency response, his heart was half relieved, and when the Bali Lake embankment finally burst, his only hope was also shattered, so at this time he was extremely calm in his heart. There was a feeling of an outsider.

What he could do had already been done, and at this point, he didn't know how much more storm his butterfly wings could stir up in this matter, in his opinion. I'm afraid it's very unlikely.

"For the people, it seems that the municipal party committee still underestimated the power of this round of floods." Shang Quanzhi sighed and turned his head, "This year, we in Songzhou finally met a better year. Hehe, it's happened again. ”

"Secretary Shang, except for natural disasters. There may also be some causes of misfortune. Lu Weimin's words made Yue Weibin's vest behind him feel a little cold, does this guy want to attack himself?

"Oh?" Shang Quanzhi, who was originally a little tired, suddenly had a light in his eyes.

"I heard some reactions, saying that there are some problems with the Bali Lake embankment and the Jiugong Lake embankment, and I am afraid that there will be a situation of cutting corners to shoddy haode when it was first built, and it is quite serious, but this is a matter of many years ago, plus this year's flood came early and fiercely, and the water level has been kept at a high water level, if the lake embankment is a little problematic, something will not be avoidable." Lu Weimin also sighed, "I see that the gap in the lake embankment has not expanded, and the sky is too dark at night to deal with it, I think if I come to deal with it again during the day, maybe there is a chance." ”

Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong were a little surprised in their eyes, at this time, Lu Weimin actually mentioned that he had a chance to save the situation, is this possible? With so many experts here, they are all helpless about the situation on the spot, could it be that you Lu Weimin are really geniuses, and you have the ability to turn the tide?

"For the people, the man-made disaster you just talked about, it must be strictly investigated, no matter who is involved, no matter how far the time is, it must be investigated, we must give an explanation to the people of Songzhou, such a big thing, if someone really did a ghost in it, then he is a sinner in Songzhou, and the crime is unforgivable!" Shang Quanzhi gritted his teeth very rarely, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he has always taken peace and neutrality as the standard, and it is rare to be angry when he is idle, but this time, he is indeed a little unbearable.

Shang Quanzhi didn't mention what Lu Weimin said, "Maybe there is a chance", but Tong Yunsong couldn't help it, "For the people, what do you mean by having a chance?" Can the current scene still control the embankment collapse? ”

"I'm not sure, but judging from the current situation, the breach of the embankment has not widened, which is a haode sign, and I understand that from tomorrow, the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River will be sunny for nearly a week, which also means that the pressure on the upstream water will be greatly reduced, and the water level may have a downward trend." Lu Weimin pondered for a moment, "If the breach does not continue to expand, can we consider letting one or two scrap ships enter Bali Lake, and then selectively sink themselves at the breach of the embankment to block the burst?" Of course, this is just a whimsical idea of mine, and it is up to the experts to prove and judge. ”

Plugging the breach of the embankment with the self-sinking of the ship? Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong's eyes lit up, this idea is a little fresh, but it is not unprecedented, but everyone has never thought that the embankment of Bali Lake will collapse before, and it is also a bit of a bit of a jishu to plug the embankment with a sunken ship, and there is also a considerable risk, of course, this is not what they consider, and naturally there are professionals to analyze and judge the possibility.

Shang Quanzhi called Bi Huasheng and asked about the possibility of plugging the leakage of the shipwreck, but Bi Huasheng was also unsure, and felt that he might have to study it with relevant personnel before making a decision.

*************************************************************************************************************************

The continuous rescue and plugging operation lasted until the afternoon, and finally two abandoned sand boats entered Bali Lake from the water mouth, and then sat and sank and burst the embankment, which greatly slowed down the impact from the lake, under the hard work of the officers and soldiers of the garrison and the public security armed police, the embankment was finally blocked, but the breach of more than ten hours has made the entire Songzhou urban area become an ocean, fortunately, the urban area has already been prepared, the first floor of some low-lying areas has been submerged, and the low-lying flat area is at least the water of Qi Thigh.

There are also some dangers in the urban area, mainly some old houses that cannot withstand the baptism of floods and collapse, but fortunately, the population of the urban area has been moved to higher places, and the public facilities in the entire urban area have also been fully opened, including schools, to provide resettlement for the affected people.

Shao Jingchuan and Rong Daosheng both rushed to Songzhou after five o'clock in the morning, followed by the rescue garrison rescue team, in this struggle, the garrison officers and soldiers played a strong role, the so-called wind knows the strength of the grass board to know Chengchen This is indeed true, only at this critical time, can we see the Liliang of the People's Liberation Army.

Although the urban area was flooded, after the breach of the embankment was blocked, and the following week was sunny and sunny, the water in the urban area gradually drained, and only some low-lying areas were still waterlogged, and most of the urban areas had returned to normal after a week.

One seemed to be ferocious, and then quickly receded.

Lu Weimin also heard some statements, saying that the municipal party committee and the municipal government had exaggerated the danger to the provincial party committee and provincial government, and in fact, although the Bali Lake embankment broke, the breach of the embankment was not large, and the amount of water pouring into the urban area was not large, as a result, there was some water on the sandbank, and most of the flood water entered the Shahe River, which did not have much impact on the urban area, and Songcheng and Luxi were basically unharmed.

Lu Weimin was also speechless about this, and he could even guess that those people were behind his back.

Shao Jingchuan and Rong Daosheng rushed to Songzhou overnight, and they must have been not very satisfied with the flood control and rescue situation in Songzhou, and although there was a breach of the embankment, the impact of the breach of the embankment was not serious, but before that, the province reported the danger to the central government overnight, and mobilized a large number of troops stationed in Changchang to start overnight, but in the end it did not come in handy, and the province was also criticized by the central government in flood control work, and Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong were inevitably subjected to Shao Jingchuan's death.

Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong didn't say anything, after all, in that situation, it is necessary to think about the situation in a bad way, otherwise it is irresponsible for the safety of the people's lives and property, and whoever is in that situation can only make that decision, and Lu Weimin just reported that situation to Shang Quanzhi in advance.

Although Shang Tong and the others did not say anything about this matter, everyone's main energy during this period of time was focused on eliminating the stagnant water in the urban area and restoring the normal work and life order in the urban area, but Lu Weimin felt in his heart, I am afraid that Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong still have some emotions in their hearts, of course, this emotion may not be aimed at themselves, but for the province's incomprehension, but this also makes Lu Weimin very uncomfortable in his heart.

Make up for last night's. (To be continued......)
