Chapter 659: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
"Yes, Governor You rushed to Yunhu last night, and the leaders of the city have arrived."
The Major looked at him with a slight curiosity in his eyes.
Is this young man really the head of a county? No matter how you look at it, he's a big boy, a few years younger than himself. For him, the governor rushed to Yunhu overnight and commanded the rescue of people.
"Comrade, which unit are you from?"
Fan Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"We are from the military division. My surname is Wang, and last night, I received an urgent order from my superiors to dispatch immediately. As soon as it was dawn today, Governor You personally instructed us to search in separate directions, and all the assault boats and small sailing boats were dispatched. ”
Major Wang said, a look of pride flashed on his face, after all, it was their group that found Fan Hongyu and Peng Na, and if they didn't make meritorious contributions and left him alone, at least they had a sense of accomplishment.
Fan Hongyu hurriedly said, "Thank you, Major Wang. ”
"You're welcome, County Magistrate Fan. I listened to your deeds, I was very moved, and personally went to the embankment to direct the flood fighting and rescue, and when danger occurred, the last to retreat. Ordinary leaders really can't do this. ”
Major Wang said with admiration.
This is a bit like those heroes recorded in military history, charging in front and retreating in the rear. As a soldier, the most admired is such a leader. The fighters followed such a commander, and their morale doubled.
Fan Hongyu waved his hand and said, "I'm ashamed, the embankment is still not guarded...... By the way, Major Wang, has the breach of the bridgehead embankment been blocked? Are you aware of the situation? ”
Major Wang replied, "It's already blocked." The opening of the embankment is not too big, and last night the Zhouqiao troops of the provincial military district rushed over overnight and blocked the opening. Otherwise......"
Major Wang glanced at them and did not continue.
Otherwise, the hill bag you're staying in. I'm afraid that if you don't have insurance, maybe you two will be washed away by the flood a long time ago.
Fan Hongyu asked again: "Then, what about the property damage of other personnel?" ”
Major Wang said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, County Magistrate Fan, I don't know about this situation. We are only responsible for saving people. ”
Fan Hongyu bowed slightly and stopped asking.
Major Wang, they must have received an order in the middle of the night, and they rushed from Qihe City to this side, and he naturally didn't know too many details.
"Where is this?"
Peng Na, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
Major Wang looked around. said: "The specific location, I'm not very sure, but this is not very far from the embankment, and it should still be within the scope of Qiaotou Village." ”
There was a sea all around, and all the houses and roads were submerged. Precise positioning is hard to come by.
"Hehe, Reporter Peng, you and County Magistrate Fan just happened to be able to rush to the top of the mountain, which can be regarded as very good luck, and the fortune is great."
Major Wang couldn't help but look at Peng Na a few more times. This girl is very pretty, and she doesn't look very old. is actually a reporter from the provincial newspaper, like Fan Hongyu, it is unbelievable. I heard that when the embankment burst last night, she and Fan Hongyu stayed at the end to evacuate. So much so that it was swept away by the flood, it was quite brave and remarkable.
Now that they are both rescued, it cannot but be said that it is a miracle.
Peng Naqiao's face was blushing. Twisted his head slightly, and was very weak for no reason. It's like everything that happened on the mountain bag last night. This Major Wang could guess it.
Soon, the assault boat reached a safe area.
Standing on the assault boat, you can see several huge tents set up on the shore from a distance, and many people and machinery are working nervously. This should be the temporary command post set up by Yu Limin.
Seeing the assault boat approaching, some people had sharp eyes and saw Fan Hongyu and Peng Na on the assault boat, and immediately cheered.
"County Magistrate Fan, it's County Magistrate Fan who is back, they're fine......"
Great news, the wind spread throughout the headquarters.
Everyone left their work behind and gathered at the water's edge, stretching their necks to look at the assault boat.
The moment Fan Hongyu and Peng Na stepped on land, applause rang out like thunder, mixed with bursts of cheers.
"County Magistrate Fan is back......"
Last night, Fan Hongyu was swept away by the flood, which immediately caused a sensation on the front line of flood control in Luhua Town, and some cadres and people who did not know much about the young county magistrate heard that Fan Hongyu was the last to evacuate the embankment, and they were immediately in awe, and they were worried about his safety one by one. The commandos who fought with Fan Hongyu on the bridgehead embankment were even more sad.
If it weren't for Fan Hongyu's categorical order to retreat, when the embankment broke, the people who were swept away by the flood would not know how many. They have been by the lake for a long time, and they deeply understand the danger of the flood, but they are afraid that County Magistrate Fan will never come back.
What a good county magistrate!
Unexpectedly, Fan Hongyu was safe and sound and was rescued, and everyone was excited and thunderous.
People who were close came up one after another and shook hands with Fan Hongyu to say hello.
"County Magistrate Fan, are you okay?"
"County Magistrate Fan, are you okay......"
Fan Hongyu waved to everyone and nodded with a smile.
It can be seen that the joy of these ordinary cadres and the masses is from the heart.
Major Wang said: "County Magistrate Fan, Reporter Peng, please, Governor You, Commander He and the city leaders are all in the tent......"
Fan Hongyu strode into the tent in the middle.
You Limin, Tan Qihua, Guo Qinghua, Zheng Meitang and other provincial and municipal leaders all gathered in the tent, and there was also a senior officer wearing the epaulettes of the major general, Fan Hongyu also knew, who was Commander He of the provincial military district. Several other middle-aged officers wearing the epaulettes of the colonel are estimated to be the military and political chiefs of the provincial military district and the Qihe military subdivision.
The embankment burst in Yunhu County, the county magistrate and the provincial newspaper reporter were swept away by the flood, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
"Governor ......"
Fan Hongyu suddenly felt agitated, strode in front of You Limin, and shouted.
As soon as he heard the news that he was in distress, Yu Limin rushed over overnight.
"Coming back?"
You Limin looked him up and down a few times, and said indifferently, his tone was very calm, without the slightest speciality, as if Fan Hongyu had not just experienced the danger of nine deaths, but went out to visit relatives, and now he rushed home for dinner.
"Yes, Governor, I'm back."
Fan Hongyu nodded, his tone became calm, and after a brief pause, he still added.
"Thank you Governor for your concern."
You Limin bowed slightly, turned to Peng Na behind Fan Hongyu, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Peng Na and said, "Xiao Peng is also back, and he has suffered a lot, right?" ”
Peng Na is a girl and a provincial newspaper reporter, she is young, and You Limin treats her as a junior, so she enjoys different "treatment" from Fan Hongyu.
Peng Na hurriedly stepped forward, held You Limin's hand tightly, and said, "Thank you for your concern, it was County Magistrate Fan who saved me...... The other hardships are good, but the flood is too dirty and not good to drink......"
The words made the leaders laugh, and the tense atmosphere in the tent eased.
You Limin said with a smile: "Xiao Peng, your provincial newspaper reporters went deep into the front line of flood fighting and rescue, and when they faced great danger, let the comrades go first and retreat last, this is a great feat, a heroic feat!" I'd like to give you credit for it. ”
"Thank you, Governor...... The credit goes to County Magistrate Fan, I didn't do anything, and I almost became a burden......"
Saying that, Peng Na couldn't help it, and tears came out of her eyes.
You Limin patted her hand lightly to show comfort, and said: "He is the county magistrate, and flood fighting and rescue is his job, and there is no credit for it." You're a girl, you're so brave, it's really amazing. Okay, stop crying, get some rest. ”
The dual roles of the elder and the governor are very well handled.
Peng Na hurriedly raised her hand to wipe her tears and thanked the governor again for her concern.
After chatting with You Limin, Fan Hongyu met with Commander He, Tan Qihua, Guo Qinghua and others one by one, and thanked the leaders for their strong support and infinite care for the flood fighting and rescue work in Yunhu.
Guo Qinghua said considerately: "County Magistrate Fan, it must be very hard to fight the flood for a night, go eat something first, and rest well." ”
"Thank you Mayor for your concern."
You Limin said: "You go to eat something first, remember to call Yanhua......
The news of Fan Hongyu's distress is estimated to have already reached Yanhua, and at this time, I don't know what Fan Weiguo is in a hurry to become. When you return safely, you should really call back as soon as possible to keep you safe.
"Yes!"
Fan Hongyu was indeed hungry and nodded in agreement.
At that moment, under the guidance of the staff, Peng Na went to another tent, where someone had already prepared steaming porridge, pickles and steamed buns, and placed them on the folding table.
Fan Hongyu was not in a hurry to eat, so he called Yanhua first and dialed directly to Fan Weiguo's office.
As soon as the phone rang, it rang, and the other side hurriedly grabbed the microphone.
"Hello ......"
It was Fan Weiguo, and his tone was full of anxiety and anxiety. It was obvious that he had been waiting for news by the telephone, but he was very worried that it was bad news.
The flood is merciless!
Swept away by the flood that burst the levee at night, the hope of survival is very slim.
"Dad, it's me, I'm fine......"
Fan Hongyu held the microphone and hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Ah...... It's okay? It's okay, it's okay......"
Fan Weiguo breathed a long sigh of relief and muttered, for a while, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what to say.
After a long while, Fan Weiguo returned to his normal thinking and said, "Hongyu, are the other comrades okay?" I heard that there is also a reporter from the provincial newspaper, Peng Na, who was also swept away by the flood, how is she doing? ”
"She's fine, we were together last night and happened to climb a small hill."
"Ah, that's good...... Hongyu, you hurry up and call your mother and Xiaojie, they are very worried. Also, Secretary Qiu also has to make a phone call there. ”
Fan Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief again and was completely relieved.
