Ying Dongliu put down the provincial defense general phone and received a call from Vice Governor Kang Renliang, the content of which was the same, and the flood situation was unprecedentedly severe.

Pennsylvania, Ningling, Tangjiang, Lanshan four places hit by heavy rain, of which Ningling suffered the strongest precipitation on record, rainfall reached 620 mm within 48 hours, triggering mudslides, of which Canghua County, Ningling City has been determined that three people died, another 18 people are missing, and there are more than 10 households trapped in the mountains and the outside world is interrupted, the most severe is that the Mishan Reservoir has been hit by mountain floods continuously, the reservoir embankment has cracks, once the reservoir bursts, This may affect the safety of the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people in one county and two districts downstream, and the situation is quite critical.

"The problem is so serious, why didn't Ningling City report it yesterday? It will deteriorate to this extent overnight, what is the Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government doing? Ying Dongliu couldn't help but hold his breath, realizing that the opposite side was not the secretary and mayor of the Ningling Municipal Party Committee, but his deputy, he tried to suppress the resentment in his heart, and lowered his voice and said, "Did you report to Secretary Ning?" ”

"It has been reported to Secretary Ning, Huang Ling and Shu Zhigao of Ningling have rushed to Canghua County to take command, and have contacted the local garrison and reported to the Guangzhou Military Region through the provincial military district, requesting reinforcements from the local garrison, Ningling City has also carried out emergency mobilization, and the local reserve militia forces have all been mobilized to rush to the front line for emergency rescue and disaster relief."

Kang Renliang's voice on the other side of the phone was also very low, just stepped into the leadership position of provincial and ministerial-level cadres to encounter this kind of thing, everyone was a little nervous, especially in the face of this kind of natural disaster, personal power and even human power can be said to be quite small, no one can predict whether anything will happen in the next moment under this kind of bad and extreme weather, and once it really causes a big disaster, I don't know what the result will be.

"Well, ask Ningling to make every effort to rescue them: rescue those trapped people at all costs!" Ying Dongliu had already stood up, "I'll go to Ningling right away!" Renliang, you inform the General Office and the Provincial Party Committee, I'm afraid this matter will have to be reported to the Central Committee and the State Council immediately! In addition, on the garrison side, I immediately contacted the provincial military region and asked them to request support from the Guangzhou Military Region. ”

"There is an engineer regiment, estimated on the side of the provincial military district. I have already asked the Guangzhou Military Region for instructions, and there should be a reply immediately. As soon as Kang Renliang heard that Ying Dongliu was going to Ningling, he also hurriedly said: "Governor Ying, I think I will also go to Ningling, the situation in Penn and Blue Mountain is relatively good, it is estimated that the Tangjiang problem is a little more eye-catching, but now the most dangerous is Ningling, Mishan Reservoir is an old reservoir in the fifties, the reservoir capacity is small, the flood discharge capacity is poor, and it is estimated that the condition of the reservoir is not good, I am worried that once the Mishan Reservoir has a problem, it will be"

Ying Dongliu groaned for a while, he didn't. wants Kang Renliang to go to Ningling, and the situation in Tangjiang is not optimistic, but when Kang Renliang talks about this, he doesn't say much, "Okay, you arrange things at home, pay close attention to Tangjiang, I'll say hello to Secretary Ning, and we'll leave for Ningling immediately." ”

Huang Ling stood at the office window of the Mishan Reservoir Management Office with a gloomy face. Before, outside the window is a bright light, the sound of people is boiling, the engineering regiment stationed in Nanjing has rushed to the reservoir site to start the rescue operation, but the problem of the Mishan Reservoir dam is quite serious, and the upstream water continues to amplify, the flood channel has been released to the maximum, but the water level in the dam is still slowly rising, the weather forecast will be a thunderstorm tonight, Huang Ling has a premonition that this old dam will only be difficult to support until tomorrow morning.

I originally thought that Fengting's situation was bad enough, but I didn't think that Cang. The situation is even worse, this Mishan reservoir has almost become a time bomb stuck on the Yuexiu River, once the embankment collapses, the surging water will pour directly down, think about the panicked expressions of the secretary of the Canghua County Party Committee and the county magistrate in front of him just now, Huang Ling can conclude that they themselves are not the slightest sure about the situation of the embankments on both sides of the Yuexiu River.

The office was pushed open by a shout, and a PLA officer. and Wang Daolu, director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, broke in, "Secretary Huang, Commander Li!" ”

"How?" Li Yuanqing's face was so serious that there was hardly any expression.

"It's terrible, two in the dam. If the water level continues to rise, I think it will be difficult to keep the reservoir. The PLA colonel, who spoke with a northern accent, was unceremoniously said, "It's time to consider the dangers that may be faced downstream if the levee collapses." ”

"Head Fang, isn't there any hope?" Li Yuanqing gritted his teeth, the people on both sides of the downstream are being evacuated urgently, but it is too difficult for you to complete the evacuation in such a short time.

The PLA officer shook his head speechlessly, and then raised his gaze again: "We will do our best, but I need to remind everyone that I am afraid that we must be mentally prepared for the worst, and the downstream transfer and evacuation must be completed in degrees!" ”

"Head Fang, thank you for your support, all our cadres and party members have all devoted themselves to the transfer and evacuation work, but we need time, please do your best to help us buy more time no matter what." Huang Ling only felt that his mouth was a little bitter, this was the phenomenon that he was extremely nervous about, and there seemed to be only a handful of times when this happened in the past few decades, only two or three times.

The officer didn't say anything more, only saluted and turned away.

Huang Ling took a deep breath, "Lao Wang, how is the situation of the embankment itself?" ”

"Commander Fang is right, it is already very dangerous, and if there is a fall, it means that there is a problem inside the embankment, and if you don't pay attention to it, the dam may collapse directly." Wang Daolu seemed to be ten years old, and the tossing for two days and two nights in a row made people of his age really unbearable, but at this time, he didn't dare to slack off, "Just now, there was a large-scale bank collapse two hundred meters away from the embankment, which is quite dangerous. ”

Huang Ling's brows tightened, and he was about to say more, but the phone rang, "Governor Kang, hello, ah, I am at the scene of the Mishan Reservoir, the situation is very bad, the reservoir embankment has cracked, according to the rescue personnel, it is very difficult to keep it, especially in the second half of the night, there may be a thunderstorm, well, you and Governor Ying are here?" Okay, the downstream transfer is already underway and we need to buy time now, right, mostly time,"

No one expected the embankment to collapse so quickly, the heavy rain just came down for more than an hour, the middle section of the reservoir that had no warning was slowly collapsed like the ground sinking, but fortunately the collapse speed was quite slow, and the people who were working intensively around had time to evacuate to both sides, five minutes later, the collapse finally evolved into a large-scale embankment failure, and the entire Mishan Reservoir was like an old house that was extremely decaying and finished its forty-year history under the witness of lightning that pierced the night sky.

The rescue personnel immediately retreated to the high ground on both sides of the embankment, and the flood swept through the entire embankment, and the surging rushed downstream.

Zhao Guodong received a call three minutes later that the Mishan Reservoir had burst.

Half an hour later, there was a pipe surge scene in the Canghua section of the Yuexiu River, and the rescue team immediately followed up, but many embankments were in danger at the same time, and finally two places on the north and south banks evolved into broken embankments.

"How's it going?!" When Ying Dongliu arrived in Canghua County, several towns in the north of Canghua County were already a water town, and the road from Ningling to Canghua had been cut off by the flood, so he had to make a detour and it took him an extra three hours to reach Canghua.

"Governor Ying, we have already carried out the transfer in the early stage, but the reservoir burst came too quickly, and the transfer of several towns and villages in the north has not been completed, and there are still hundreds of households with nearly 3,000 people trapped in the water, but most of them have been moved to higher places, and the specific situation has not been fully counted." After Huang Ling took over Ying Dongliu, he tried his best to stabilize his emotions, he knew that the governor was quite concerned about these aspects, especially the issues related to the safety of the people's lives.

"I have asked the Zhouqiao regiment stationed in Andu to come over for emergency reinforcements, and it is estimated that they will come over tomorrow morning for reinforcements, and Secretary Ning and them will also rush over tomorrow morning." Ying Dongliu looked around, "Didn't Canghua County have any emergency preparations before?" Don't you have a rubber boat, an assault boat, or anything like that? If you don't hurry up and transfer them from your city, these things in the province will only arrive tomorrow, what you have to do now is to make the masses feel that the party committee and government have not abandoned them and are all by their side! ”

Ying Dongliu's stern voice made Huang Ling sweat coldly, and said that this provincial governor is not easy to speak, and today is considered to be insightful, at this time he can only grit his teeth and nod yes, Canghua County has no ideological preparation for this at all, at this time to find an assault boat rubber boat? Where?

"How's the other two districts doing?" Ying Dongliu did not make it too difficult for Huang Ling, and shifted the topic to Xijiang District and Dongjiang District.

"The mayor of Zhigao in Dongjiang District is sitting there, and the situation is not very good, but in comparison, Dongjiang District is a little slower because of the distance involved, but there are still two townships that have been hit by floods, and the trapped people are estimated to be about 300 households and 1,000 people." Huang Ling calmed down, "The situation in Xijiang District is relatively good, because they made preparations for the transfer in advance yesterday, and the organization is very orderly, so although three towns and villages have been hit by floods, but the vast majority of the people have been moved to safety, only dozens of people trapped have been in contact with the district, they are now using rubber boats and assault boats to prepare to take these dozens of people out overnight, Comrade Zhao Guodong, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the District Party Committee, has just finished talking to me on the phone, ensuring that no one in Xijiang District will be trapped in the flood. Not a single person is guaranteed to die. ”

"Oh?" Ying Dongliu's eyes lit up suddenly, "He's so sure?!" ”
