Chapter 872: Earth Dam Protector
readx;
On the west bank of the Jiujiang River, tens of thousands of people formed a team several kilometers long, shirtless, wielding shovels and hoes, slapping the excavated soil in front of them, and quickly patting the earth dam in front of them to the ground, forming an earthy yellow dragon lying on the west bank of the Jiujiang River.

Zhang Ke accompanied Shang Xueyi, Liang Weifa, Zhao Youlun, and Major General Qiu Kai, commander of the provincial military division, to stand on the roof of an eight-story office building on the west bank of the Jiujiang River, looking at the monstrous flood on the east bank of the Jiujiang River with a solemn expression and a pale face.
On a rare clear night since October, the sky is full of stars and moons, and the silver moonlight is sprinkled down, which makes people see such a scene at night.
The waves swept in the distance, and the sound of the waves was like a howling wind, and the houses on the east bank of the Jiujiang River crackled and pushed down the waves.
Two hours after the embankment burst on the lake's shore, Shang Xueyi, secretary of the provincial party committee, who was inspecting the flood situation in Zhangzhou, and Liang Weifa, who was inspecting the flood situation in Shunyi, returned to Jinshan by military plane as quickly as possible to direct the rescue work.
This is the first meeting between Zhang Ke and Shang Xueyi, secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, I didn't expect it to be on such an occasion, there is nothing to greet, everything is focused on rescue, only hope that before the waves sweep across the Jiujiang River, build a strong earthen dam, in order to save the city behind him from being overthrown.
Between the Jiujiang River and Jinshan Lake and the Yinma River, is Jinshan New Town, in addition to Zhang Ke's first visit to Jinshan to participate in the International Convention and Exhibition Center of the Electronics Industry Forum, Jinshan Electronics Industrial Park, Jinshan Software Park and Oak Park Jinshan Branch have chosen to be built here, across the river from Dawn Paper, just the impact of the monstrous flood.
Zhang Ke didn't know if the workers on the construction site of the Oak Park Jinshan Branch had time to evacuate, at this time the monstrous flood had swept over the construction site of the Oak Park Jinshan Branch, and the planned 16-story R&D building had been constructed to the ninth floor, and there was a large interception above the water surface, which was not washed away by the flood, and he could only see a vague black shadow standing here, and he did not dare to confirm that it was the R&D building of the Jinshan Branch.
However, Jinshan started the construction of a new city in this area, and the large-scale relocation in this area has greatly reduced the number of residents in the area, and the construction site workers can temporarily climb to a high place to avoid the water, and after the embankment bursts, quickly cut off the transmission and transformation circuit into the floodplain, which may be able to minimize casualties...... But the flood must not be allowed to rush across the Jiujiang River.
"Qinyuan has organized an evacuation there...... There are only 40 minutes of vehicles on the construction site, and the flood will rush to the construction site, and the number of people who have withdrawn is limited, and a considerable number of workers are trapped on the construction site, and the main buildings exposed to the ground of the branch park have withstood the impact of the flood, and after emergency statistics, seven workers are missing...... "Fu Jun walked over and reported to Zhang Ke softly, "Teacher Xu, they have all settled in the city, Zhang Yi has just sent the director of the old prison factory over, and Assistant Zhai is ...... downstairs"
Shang Xueyi, Liang Weifa, and Zhao Youlun have a very heavy responsibility on their shoulders, Zhang Ke must first confirm the situation of Kumho's personnel in Jinshan, when the disaster occurred, it was nightfall, the night was dark, the missing seven workers did not necessarily suffer misfortune, the 30 assault boats that could be urgently called had already sailed from the embankment into the floodplain for rescue, the helicopter's night flight ability was poor, and it would not be dispatched until tomorrow day, so he was worried that the weather would deteriorate further tomorrow.
After the embankment burst on the west bank, the embankment of the Siyan Township section on the east bank of the lake also burst naturally, and the flood opened the embankment, forming a gap hundreds of meters wide, and quickly overflowed the Siyan Township. Although the west bank burst the embankment, caused great panic and material allocation chaos, the Chenyan Road gap accumulation of temporary embankment due to the flood control materials transportation is not timely, two hours later, the flood overflowed the gap and discharged, although due to the west bank of the embankment, the impact of the east flood weakened, the gap is quite high, the impact force is further weakened, the flood overflowing from the gap is not as terrible as expected, but also to the life of the Dawn Paper Industry caused more serious waterlogging. For a while, it was impossible to deploy manpower to plug the gap, so I could only watch the water level around Dawn Paper slowly rise, in addition to the residents who had been evacuated, there were also a large number of employees and their families trapped there. They were at least prepared for the flood, and Dawn Paper also had its workshops flooded and stopped production across the board.
At one o'clock in the morning, the wave formed by the flood hit the temporary earthen dam on the west bank of the Jiujiang River for the first time, and then the sky was hatefully clouded, Zhang Ke accompanied Shang Xueyi, Liang Weifa, and Zhao Youlun to stand on the roof of the eight-story office building behind the earthen dam and listened to the sound of the flood wave hitting the earth dam, and the searchlight illuminated the snow-white waves, which were terrifyingly white.
Countless wooden piles, sand and gravel, and sacks of materials that can reinforce the earth dam are pushed by tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to seal the gap that the flood has opened, which is the last line of protection, and behind it is Jinshan City, which has a population of three million and has no shelter.
The 100 million tons of flood water discharged from the embankment of Jinshan Lake has been weakened by the buffer of nearly 50 kilometers of complex terrain, although there is continuous news of the collapse of the earth dam, but after all, it has not been able to form a fatal rupture, when the sky is hazy, Shang Xueyi, Liang Weifa and other provincial and municipal leaders have supported everyone to return to the emergency flood control command building with mud, and Zhao Youlun has been staying in the building as an emergency flood control commander, and this tough battle is temporarily won. The 100 million tons of flood water swept northwest and was held back by a makeshift earthen dam, and after a little respite, it turned and swept along the terrain and across the vast land between the Yuma River and the Jiujiang River.
Seeing that the temporary earth dam was built in time and played a role, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, at least the Jinshan City behind it was temporarily saved. The most suspenseful danger has passed, although the lake backflow has formed hundreds of square kilometers of floodplains, and there are countless people trapped in the flood, Zhang Ke can not directly drag to help, can only hope that the garrison and the government's rescue can keep up in time, in addition, the rainy season has not passed, the upper reaches of the Yuma River will form a flood peak again at any time, causing an impact on the downstream, and it is necessary to block the Jinshan Lake outburst in the shortest possible time.
Zhang Ke did not have to continue to stay in the emergency flood control headquarters, and said goodbye to Shang Xueyi, Liang Weifa and others, and said before leaving: "The province will use all the materials of Jinshan for rescue, and the rescue and life-saving equipment purchased by Kumho from other places will be transported as soon as possible, and I have two vehicles that should be able to play a role in the rescue and rescue, and I will leave it to the province ......for use in the future."
Since the severe flood situation, Kumho has donated tens of millions of yuan in emergency and flood control materials to Jinshan, Zhangzhou, Shunyi and other places in Jiangnan Province.
After the embankment of Jinshan Lake burst, Zhang Ke submitted a catalogue of rescue and life-saving equipment within an hour, asking the flood control headquarters to determine whether it was urgently needed, and urgently started the procurement system that Kumho Commercial had just integrated overnight to urgently purchase rescue and life-saving equipment in major domestic markets. Zhang Ke said goodbye and left at this time, leaving the two Humvees he was riding in Jinshan for rescue.
The construction site of Oak Park was less than five kilometers away from the shore of the embankment, and the damage caused by the flood was quite strong, and only the main building of the R&D building resisted the impact of the flood; Qinyuan was also swept away by the floods, causing a large area of buildings to collapse.
For young people who are still twenty years old, I am afraid that I will not be able to make more demanding requirements, Shang Xueyi thought in his heart, and regretted a little why he couldn't put down the shelf of the provincial party secretary and talk to this young man before, it might be a happy life. I'm afraid that there will be no chance in the future, Jinshan Lake bursts, although the Jinshan City of three million people behind him is saved, but what about the residents between the Jiujiang River and the Yinma River? Someone must always take responsibility for the collapse of the embankment of Jinshan Lake, and Shang Xueyi has clearly known that his political career will come to an end, and the most important thing at the moment is to reduce losses as much as possible and save people's lives as much as possible to make up for the unrest of conscience.
Shang Xueyi watched Zhang Ke and the others leave, and the secretary general of the provincial party committee came over at this time and said softly: "The phone number of the General Office of the State Council, Premier Zhao wants to talk to you on the phone......
Jinshan Lake burst its embankment, and Shang Xueyi immediately reported to the central government for additional support after receiving Zhao Youlun's report. Behind Jinshan Lake is Jinshan City, which has a population of 3 million, and Zhao Jidong also couldn't sleep all night in the State Council, and only when he heard that the temporary earthen dam resisted the flood waves, he was a little relieved: "I am about to leave for Changsha to inspect the flood situation of the Yangtze River, and I will appoint Vice Premier Zeng Rusheng to inspect the rescue and rescue work in Jinshan on my behalf...... and said earnestly, "You can't take the lives of the people as a child's play!" ”
As the secretary of the provincial party committee and as a feudal official, it can be said that he is at the peak of power, and he will not have a particularly great fear of higher power, but this is really a sentence that pierces people's hearts, although there must be more direct factors in the sudden burst of Jinshan Lake - this needs to be investigated afterwards, but Shang Xueyi cannot deny his own mistakes.
The fundamental reason for the collapse of the embankment of Jinshan Lake is that the policy of contending with the lake for more than 10 years has greatly reduced the area of Jinshan Lake's tidal flats and wetlands, and the flood storage capacity is seriously weakened, even less than half of the original.
Liang Weifa and Zhao Youlun looked out the window at the yellow muddy flood lake formed overnight in the clear light of dawn, and wanted to cry without tears, how many casualties caused by the collapse of the embankment could not be counted for a while, but almost all the economic construction achievements of Jinshan City last year were soaked in this flood, the white dome of the International Convention and Exhibition Center was exposed on the water, and from here you could see that the dome was crowded with people who were sheltering from danger, black, like an ant colony attached to the dome, and the most important thing at this time was to rescue people from the flood siege......
