Chapter 995: Can You Hold It?

It's easy to shout slogans. It's not easy to really hold on!

Liu Jun took Yu Huaixin and Qiu Yongzhi and patrolled on the embankment. This polder, jutting out of the white lake, is in a semicircle shape and has a circumference of about several kilometers, which is obviously more than enough to be strengthened to resist general flooding. But this year's flood came too violently. Due to the sudden drop in the flood storage capacity of the two major lakes in the upper reaches, although the amount of flood in the upper reaches was still inferior to that of the 1954 flood, the highest water level in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River generally exceeded that of the 1954 flood.

At the top of the embankment, under the continuous erosion of floods, there have been multiple executions. The commandos are desperately trying to plug the gaps with sandbags. Such a catastrophic flood is extremely erosive, and if a small hole cannot be blocked in time, it will soon break away the surrounding embankments and form a huge opening. I can't resist it anymore.

Judging from the current situation, every breach was blocked in time. If the flood does not rise and the backup can come in time, perhaps the peace can be defended.

"Secretary Liu......"

Suddenly, Qiu Yongzhi, who was following him, shouted.

Liu Jun turned his head, only to see Qiu Yongzhi looking down at his feet, and said with a nervous expression: "Secretary Liu, there is a pipe ......."

Qiu has been by the river for a long time, and he has to participate in flood fighting and rescue almost every year, and he has a lot of experience.

Liu Jun's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled tightly. The embankment is most afraid of pipe surges, which proves that there are holes in the middle of the embankment, and the flood is drilling through these holes, and will gradually expand, hollowing out the embankment and forming a large opening.

The hollow part, under water, is more difficult to plug than the breach at the top of the embankment.

The flood is constantly moving, swirling, and the undercurrent under the water is only more ferocious than the surface of the water, and ordinary sandbags are likely to be washed away by the flood. It doesn't make a big difference.

"Quick, organize personnel to this area to prevent blockage!"

"Yes!"

Qiu Yongzhi turned around and ran to organize the manpower, and in a moment, a team of commandos, about twenty people, rushed over with heavy sandbags.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as the commandos were about to throw their sandbags into the water to plug the gap, Yoo Jun shouted at them. The team members all looked strangely at the young commander-in-chief who suddenly appeared.

"There is an undercurrent underwater, and throwing a small sandbag down will not work. Let's go find some thick timber and steel bars, tie the sandbags together and throw them down! ”

Yoo Jun ordered.

In his previous life, in another parallel world, Liu Jun did not participate in the flood fighting and rescue, but he had this memory, and over the years, he has been constantly supplementing relevant knowledge, so although he has no practical experience, he is still very clear about the common sense of flood fighting and rescue.

People in emergency situations are the most obedient. As soon as Yoo Jun's order arrived, the team immediately ran down the embankment to find timber and rebar. These materials, the general flood control site, also have a certain reserve.

Soon. The team members found a few pieces of wood and steel bars, tied sandbags to the wood with lead wire, tied six pieces of wood into a shelf, and tied twenty or thirty heavy sandbags on it, and it took about half an hour to complete the "sand row".

"One, two, three...... Push! ”

Everyone shouted neatly and pushed the huge "sand row" down, and with a loud bang, the sand row sank into the water, and soon, the pipe gushing was blocked.

But this is only the beginning, and then people continue to report that pipe surges have been found in many parts of the embankment, and there are more and more breaches at the top of the embankment.

Liu Jun does not live on the embankment and shuttles back and forth, directing the blockage.

Secretary Liu...... Secretary Liu, there are not enough sacks, and they are running out of ......"

A man covered in mud ran up to Yoo Jun and shouted out out of breath.

"Don't worry, the rescue convoy is already on the way, it should be there soon, everyone hurry up and loosen the soil and prepare stones, the convoy will come in handy as soon as it arrives."

Liu Jun said.

"Yes!"

The man ran away as fast as he could.

Liu Jun's prediction was right, the convoy they encountered on the road drove into Ping'an Dam ten minutes later, and the commandos guarding the embankment cheered, and everyone swarmed up to unload supplies.

Liu Jun and Qiu Yongzhi walked over. The person in charge of the convoy was found and instructed them to help the evacuation of Ping'an Yuan and the nearby people immediately after unloading the supplies, and at the same time arrange some vehicles to transport the injured commandos to the hospital in the city for treatment.

"Remember, saving lives comes first. As long as people get into the car and bring valuables, they don't want to go to the pots and jars, and they must persuade the masses to evacuate as soon as possible! ”

Liu Jun admonished.

"Yes!"

The head of the convoy shouted yes.

Qiu Yongzhi reminded on the side: "Secretary Liu, there are more and more breaks, there are not enough people, and everyone's physical strength has dropped very much......

"Use it, you immediately arrange personnel, distribute food, everyone eats and works, you must eat, you can ensure enough physical strength when you are full, and the rescue force in the city should come over soon!"

"Yes! Secretary Liu, I don't know how. The rescue force in Baihu County has not yet arrived! Fang Rucheng and Yu Zhida don't know how to do it......"

The so-called Fang Rucheng and Yu Zhida are the county party secretary and county magistrate of Baihu County!

Liu Jun said in a deep voice: "You have to find a way to contact them and ask them to reinforce immediately, otherwise, the party will be punished!" ”

At this time, Liu Jun also tore off all the gentle masks in the officialdom.

Qiu Yongzhi agreed, beckoned a few people to distribute biscuits, drinking water and other food, took out his phone, and desperately contacted the county. Yu Huaixin handed Liu Jun a bag of biscuits and a bottle of drinking water.

Liu Jun took it and chewed it heavily.

Tonight. It's destined to fight all night.

"Secretary Liu, the county still can't be contacted...... However, the city has already been contacted, and the command has sent more than a thousand people to reinforcements, which are already on the way, and a large number of machinery and equipment are also on the way! ”

Liu Jun ate a few cookies, and Qiu Yongzhi hurriedly ran over to report.

Liu Jun nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the second half of the night, the rain became heavier and heavier, the flood became more and more violent, and the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, and the more than 1,000 commandos guarding the Ping'an embankment were exhausted and seriously overdrawn, and the speed of carrying sandbags slowed down significantly.

There are more and more places where there are breaks.

The worry of hatred was pale, and he said in a low voice: "Secretary Liu, you may not be able to hold it...... There are more than 1,000 people on the embankment......"

This is to remind Liu Jun that if he can't hold it, the more than 1,000 commandos must evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be very dangerous.

Liu Jun stood at the top of the embankment, looked at the surging flood in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, you must hold on until dawn, maybe there are still people who have not evacuated......"

The most terrible thing about the breach of the levee is that it happens at night, when the crowd is defenseless and lacks lighting equipment, making it doubly difficult to evacuate.

"Comrades, the rescue in the city is coming soon, everyone cheer up, hold on, people are on the embankment, fight to the end!"

Yoo Jun stood on the embankment and shouted loudly.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is full of energy. Although the wind and rain were heavy and the waves shook the sky, this shout still spread far away, and many people heard it.

"People are on the embankment, fighting to the end!"

The cries of a landslide and tsunami sounded again on the embankment, and the exhausted commandos cheered up and accelerated the speed of the blockade. When he was nervous, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, flashlights shone brightly, and in the haze, a large group of people appeared under the embankment.

"Jiang Hongmu, Jiang Hongmu ......"

The first one shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

Qiu Yongzhi was overjoyed and shouted: "Secretary Liu, it's the voice of Yu Zhida and County Magistrate, they are finally here, ......" Saying that, Qiu Yongzhi put his hands on his lips in the shape of a horn, and shouted to the embankment: "Yu Zhida, Yu County Magistrate, I am here, Secretary Liu is here......"

"Director Qiu?"

Yu Zhida screamed in confusion and strode to the top of the embankment.

This is a man about forty years old, thin and muddy, and shouted at Qiu Yongzhi: "Old Qiu, why are you here?" Is Mayor Chen here? ”

Qiu Yongzhi is estimated to be Chen Xiangyang's confidant, and as soon as Yu Zhida saw him, he immediately thought of Chen Xiangyang.

Qiu Yong stepped forward and slapped him hard, shouting, "Damn, you guys finally arrived, why did it take so long to arrive?" ”

"Ahem, the road is broken, the car can't pass, I ran here with everyone......" Yu Zhida gasped and explained, and then asked tightly: "Where is Mayor Chen?" ”

"Mayor Chen didn't come, Secretary Liu came!"

Qiu Yongzhi said.

"Secretary Liu? Which Secretary Liu? ”

Yu Zhida was inexplicable, he remembered that there was no secretary surnamed Liu in the city, could it be Secretary Liu Hui?

"County Magistrate Yu, come here, let me introduce you, this is Secretary Liu Jun, deputy secretary of the Yulan Municipal Party Committee, and now the deputy commander of our city's flood control and rescue headquarters!"

Qiu Yongzhi hurriedly introduced Yu Zhida.

Yu Zhida was stunned for a moment, although Liu Jun has been in Qianzhou City for a while, if on weekdays, such a thing can spread to every corner of Qianzhou City's officialdom in a few days. But now in extraordinary times, communication is interrupted, everyone is busy with flood relief, and things in the officialdom are naturally far less sensitive than usual, and Yu Zhida is still unaware of such a thing.

Although Liu Jun is famous in Yulan City, and even in the compound of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, after all, his position is not too high, Qianzhou is located in the southwest border of Province A, and not every official has heard of Secretary Liu's name.

However, Yu Zhida naturally does not doubt Liu Jun's identity, at this time, the higher the position, the heavier the responsibility.

"Secretary Liu, hello, I'm Yu Zhida, the magistrate of Baihu County!"

Yu Zhida hurriedly shook hands with Liu Jun.

"Hello, County Magistrate Yu. Now the situation is very critical, Jiang Hongmu is already organizing the masses to evacuate, please immediately assign manpower, block the mouth, and be sure to keep the peace! ”

"Yes, resolutely complete the task!"
