"Comrade Zhao Guodong called me the day before yesterday and said that he was worried that the water level of the Yuexiu River would rise too fast and pose a threat to the surrounding lives and property, and hoped to prepare for the transfer in advance. Therefore, when the Mishan Reservoir burst, several threatened townships in the south of them had basically been transferred, and the besieged were actually only the party member commandos who went out to patrol later. Huang Ling cautiously explained.

"Well done!" Even Ying Dongliu couldn't help but be born and admired, at that time, in addition to Canghua County, the most worried was Xijiang District and Dongjiang District, Xijiang District also includes some urban areas, once the embankment in Xijiang is also in danger, the danger is quite great, "Is there a problem with the embankment in Xijiang and Dongjiang?" ”

"The embankment in Xijiang District has been comprehensively strengthened and repaired this year, and there have been no problems, and there has been a dangerous situation in Dongjiang District, but now through the all-out efforts of the troops and reserve militia, the dangerous situation has been brought under control and has not caused much harm." Huang Ling paused, "Mayor Zhigao is now supervising the rescue work at the scene in Dongjiang District. ”

"The performance of several counties and districts under a city is very different, what is the reason, in addition to natural disasters, is there a **? Is it a lack of organization, a leadership problem, or a lack of thought, slackness, and neglect? Lao Huang, you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, encountered this kind of thing when you first arrived, but this point is worth exploring. Now the main energy is still focused on rescuing the trapped people, you tonight," Ying Dongliu exhaled deeply and looked at his watch, "No, it's already early in the morning, immediately find a way to do everything to rescue the people from danger, these houses have been blistered overnight, the foundation is already quite fragile, and it may collapse as soon as there is a wind and grass, we must solve these problems in the shortest possible time." I hope our boat bridge group can arrive as soon as possible. ”

Huang Ling was beaten by Ying Dongliu's extremely harsh words and nodded again and again, if this kind of thing happens, which one who is the secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor dares to say that he is not responsible, even if you only came yesterday, if something happens today, you have to bear it. Fortunately, the governor, who is said to be quite rigorous and sharp, behaved politely, and did not throw too many words that he couldn't get down the steps.

Provincial Party Secretary Ning Fa was on the next day. After arriving in Ningling City in the afternoon, a group of provincial and municipal leaders headed by Kang Renliang and Yan Limin took up Ningfa, but Ningfa did not give them a chance to say anything more at all, except for a brief listening to the current situation, and immediately rushed to the disaster site in Dongjiang District.

Following Ningfa were also members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Hu Lian, secretary general of the provincial party committee, Wang Fusheng, member of the standing committee of the provincial party committee and commander of the provincial military district, and the next battalion of the Zhouqiao Regiment immediately threw themselves into the rescue and evacuation of the people in Dongjiang District.

Several townships in Dongjiang District have been flooded. Impact, but the main attack is the southernmost two low-lying townships, the surging flood has turned the two townships into an ocean, Ningfa took the assault boat provided by the Zhouqiao Regiment to travel in the water town Zeguo, many houses have been submerged most of the houses, super/fast only the roof and the small half of the wall remain, and many houses even slowly collapsed in front of Ningfa's eyes.

The work efficiency of the boat bridge regiment is quite high, and the assault boats and rubber boats are fast. The attack quickly rescued dozens of victims trapped in several places and high places, but it is obvious that the number of trapped victims in the two townships is quite large, and extremely scattered, the workload of the boat and bridge regiment is quite large, and the Dongjiang District Government has also organized a number of small boats to start patrolling and rescuing, but because the flood flow is still quite large, it also poses a certain threat to the rescue boats.

"Secretary Ning, the situation seems to be very serious, the flood has not abated at all, and such as. If the rain continues to fall upstream, it is estimated that the water level will continue to rise, which will also put great pressure on the embankment in the downtown section of Ningling, and the water level of the Wujiang River has also risen to the highest level in history. Hu Lian, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, sighed while frowning and smacking his lips, "Once the embankment in Ningling City bursts, it will be quite dangerous." ”

"Lao Shu, is there a problem in Ningling City?" Ningfa sat in a raincoat. Through the bow of the ship, his eyes are deep, as if he wants to see through the white rain curtain in front of him.

Rather French tone though. It's not high, but the weight is not light, and a sentence made Shu Zhigao's whole body suddenly feel tense, "Secretary Ning, we have specially inspected and strengthened the Wujiang River embankment in the urban area before the flood season, and there should be no major problems." ”

"Should?!" Ning Fa's voice suddenly raised a few degrees.

"There's absolutely no problem here in the main city, I promise!" Shu Zhigao was sweating profusely and gritted his teeth.

At this time, he was extremely grateful to Zhao Guodong for the investment of Meng Yuan and the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau in the reinforcement and heightening project of the Wujiang River embankment, for which Jin Yongjian also once was furious in front of him, saying that Meng Yuan and Wang Daolu took the initiative to use the water conservancy funds for places where there was no need to invest, saying that the Wujiang River embankment was in good condition, and routine inspection and repair were carried out every year, and there was no need to re-invest, Meng Yuan and Wang Daolu invested nearly one million at once due to the pressure and face of some people. is purely a loser, Shu Zhigao was also a little unhappy at that time, thinking that Meng Yuan's personality was too soft, and he actually succumbed to Zhao Guodong's pressure in this kind of matter, and now it seems that this is almost saving his political life.

As long as there is no problem in the main urban area, even if there are some situations in the Dongjiang District and the development zone, it is much easier to explain, compared with the property of enterprises and human life, there is no comparison at this time, no matter how big the loss is, we can find a way to recover, and a few more human lives are gone, that is political responsibility.

"Hmph, I thought you, the mayor, weren't even sure about that!" Ning Fa's already cloudy face softened slightly, "There is no problem in the main city, so it means that there is still a possibility that there is still a problem in the suburbs?" ”

"Secretary Ning, this time the flood is too fierce and sudden, and the scale is far beyond what our generation has experienced, I don't dare to say in front of you, I'm afraid that the preparation here in Dongjiang District is not as adequate as that in Xijiang District, so" Shu Zhigao felt that his back was wet, it was not wet by rain, it was completely soaked with cold sweat on his body.

Ning Fa didn't say more, "The main city seems to be in Xijiang District, right?" Why do you dare to boast about the main city? ”

"In the early stage of Xijiang District, both levels of the urban area allocated special funds to the main urban area to heighten and strengthen the embankment facilities, so I have this certainty, but Secretary Ning, you also know that Ningling's finances are limited, so"

Shu Zhigao was interrupted by Ning Fa before he finished speaking: "Okay, I'm not here to listen to you cry poor at this time, I just need you a definite guarantee, since Xijiang District is not a big problem, then Lao Wang, the Zhouqiao Group will focus on Canghua County and Dongjiang District." ”

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that Ning Fa and his entourage were at the Canghua meeting with Ying Dongliu and Huang Ling.

The situation in Canghua was extremely severe, 3,000 people were trapped in the four townships and towns affected by the disaster, and the rescue work was carried out very slowly before the arrival of the Zhouqiao troops.

Although the flood level has not risen again, there is still a possibility of heavy rain in Wuling Mountain according to the meteorological forecast, which makes everyone present feel like a boulder.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Vice Premier of the State Council, the national flood control and drought control commander-in-chief Wen Guoji led the Minister of Water Resources Yang Tianming and his entourage from Taiping Airport to Ningling, at half past eight o'clock in the evening, Vice Premier Wen and his entourage arrived in Ningling City to inspect the rescue and disaster relief situation, that night heavy rain fell again in the Wuling Mountains, the water level of the Wujiang River and the Yuexiu River rose again to the highest water level on record, the Cuihe embankment was in danger, three embankments burst, fortunately it was found and blocked in time, but there was still a breach of the embankment caused a township in Dongjiang District to be affected.

In the afternoon of the next day, Vice Premier Wen and his entourage arrived at the scene in Canghua to direct the rescue and disaster relief, and rendezvoused with Ningfa and Ying Dongliu. A Zhouqiao Brigade of the Guangzhou Military Region, reinforced by air and rail transport, and two other regiments of field troops stationed in Anyuan Province also arrived in Ningling to carry out a large-scale rescue and disaster relief operation, while the rainfall in the Wuling Mountains gradually weakened.

Zhao Guodong's face was a little gloomy, for several days of rescue and disaster relief, he could only sleep for an hour every night, but fortunately, his physical fitness was good, plus an hour of meditation and pranayama every day, so that he could support it, Zeng Lingchun and Wei Xiaolan had already Gui Quanyou and Huo Yunda and other district leaders had already lost their form and could no longer support it, after the situation on the Xijiang side gradually stabilized, Zhao Guodong also let them take turns to rest and recuperate, and he still pulled Luo Yucheng and Deputy District Mayor Shi Chao/ Kuaigang went to the Yuexiu River embankment to inspect together.

Although the rain has stopped, the water level is still running at a high level, and the river embankment plugging in the upstream Canghua section is still in full swing, but because the amount of water is too large, the progress is not smooth, and thanks to the participation of the troops, the Canghua side can take a breath.

"Secretary Zhao, Secretary Luo, this underwater scene will make it difficult for us to recover in Ningling for at least two or three years." Rong Sheng is a black fat man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who served as the deputy director of the Land Bureau, the township mayor, the secretary of the party committee, and finally returned to the head of the Land Bureau, and then became the deputy district head.

"This season's crops are finished, but fortunately, the damage in our Xijiang District is still in a few rural villages in the south, if the central and provincial disaster relief funds can be in place in time, I think at least our Xijiang will not be so bad." Luo Yucheng nodded, "Didn't Premier Wen say that the central government is highly concerned, and the people of the whole country are very concerned about our flood control work in Anyuan and even the entire Yangtze River Basin." ”
