Chapter 366: Flood Fighting Monument
The news of Ge Jing's suicide soon reached Tan Jialin's ears. Tan Jialin was covered with cold sweat, looking out of the window with dull eyes, black clouds pressing down on the city, and heavy rain pouring. Through the densely woven rain curtain, Tan Jialin seemed to think that the same scene might happen to him. Rather than waiting for your reputation to fall apart, taking a leap may be the last dignity and dignity you have left.
But Ge Jing's case obviously does not involve Tan Jialin, he has always had little contact with Ge Jing, and Ge Jing also knows that this kind of Shaozhuang faction official does not call him, but he is closer to Zhu Jiaying on weekdays. Zhu Jiaying was also panicked when he learned of this, but after ten minutes, he sat down calmly. The dirty things before me were mastered by the organization last year, and it is a matter of course for me to do it whenever I want. After such a long time, Zhu Jiaying's psychological state is not bad, neither frightened nor afraid of crime and absconding.
Du Dezhong glanced at Wu Yikai expressionlessly, and said calmly: "People die like lights going out, and the difference between early and late death is just that." Okay, what's going on in the east of the city? ”
Wu Yikai shook his head and said, "The water accumulation is more than one meter two, and from the east of the riverside community, the Riyue Lake embankment has burst along the entire line. ”
"What about Tuohe?" Du Dezhong asked.
"There are more than 30 breaks, and Deputy Director Li and the leaders of the bureau have all gone up."
Du Dezhong sighed, didn't eat breakfast, drank a sip of water and put on a raincoat and hurried away. Sitting in this position, he knew that it was not easy to be a landlord. Now that the flood has besieged the city and all economic development has stopped, Du Dezhong has a lot less to worry about. However, organizing disaster relief, ensuring the daily life of citizens, restoring communications, telling the health department to do a good job of disinfection and epidemic prevention, coupled with the summary of the situation in rural areas, in just one day, he felt that day and night were reversed.
The personal deeds of Ma Xianzhong, deputy director of the Bureau of Justice, have been reported by Du Dezhong to the Propaganda Department of Suxu City. After the flash flood in Taohuaxian Mountain, the judicial bureau responded to the call of the district to mobilize all to participate in the flood fighting and rescue. Ma Xian took the lead and heard that there were people trapped in the old cadre's family home, so he took a few people to the rescue. After evacuating all the elderly there safely, Ma Xianzhong was unfortunately hit by a falling power line and died in order to set up a warning sign next to a wellhole cover that had been washed open.
Guo Tie and Huang Chengzhuo also sent Ma Xianzhong's deeds to the newspaper, and the newspaper published it with a front-page headline as soon as possible. The media has been focusing on Lou's brittle news, and Li Cheng has also been criticized by the public. At this time, Ma Xianzhong's heroic deeds finally saved a lot of negative points for Li Cheng. But at the cost of life, this cost is too high. And all this, in the opinion of Du Dezhong and others, could have been avoided.
Coming to the bank of the Tuo River and looking at the rolling water like the Yellow River, Du Dezhong couldn't help but sigh. You must know that under normal circumstances, the Tuo River is just a small river with a total length of 240 kilometers. At its widest point, the river does not exceed 60 meters. But now, as far as the eye can see, there is murky water in all directions, except for the rescue personnel and construction vehicles who are racing against death on the embankment, and the whole world seems to be only poured rain and flooded river.
Seeing Du Dezhong coming over in the rain, Bao Huiyan wiped the mud on her body, hurriedly came to Du Dezhong, and said with a tired face: "District Chief Du, the water potential is too big, and the upstream gate has lost its effect. ”
Du Dezhong saw the heavy machinery truck being washed away like a flat boat in the water, and rows of bareback men were wrapped around their waists with ropes, and their arms were tightly clasped together, forcibly blocking the impact of the water. The officers and men of the unit kept throwing flood control bags into the gaps, but the water flow was too large and the flow speed was too fast, and the results were really poor.
Young and middle-aged citizens were also here to help, and Du Dezhong saw Lin Deyi and his group of old buddies from the Shell Hotel, who were struggling to swing the shovel in his hand, trying to dig out clumps of mud and sand from the river. Looking upstream, there were more enthusiastic citizens there, and they used various tools to help the officers and soldiers there rebuild the river embankment.
Du Dezhong's nose was sour, and tears filled his eyes instantly. With such police officers and soldiers, with such citizens and the masses, unless the world is over, mankind will still be able to survive all disasters.
"Let's go, take a hand." Du Dezhong shouted at Wu Yikai.
Wu Yikai hurriedly said: "District Chief Du, I'm coming, you have to command the overall situation." ”
Du Dezhong said: "What else is this commanding, just follow everyone to do it." ”
Li Yongzhong also hurriedly ran over, saying that half an hour ago, the embankment at the gate had burst, and several people and police officers had been swept away by the flood. Du Dezhong said solemnly: "Hurry up and send someone to find them, you must find them back." ”
Li Yongzhong's expression was very solemn, and his eyes were also red, and they were covered with bloodshots. The citizen next to him interjected: "District Chief Du, Director Li hasn't slept for a day and a night, and among the people who were washed away, there is a woman who is his wife." ”
Du Dezhong couldn't say a word, his throat was blocked, no matter what he wanted to say, in the end, only tears mixed with rain kept flowing down. Li Yongzhong was so emaciated that he fell to the ground while standing, and he couldn't get up again. Du Dezhong hurriedly ordered someone to help him back, and asked the nurse to supplement him with glucose. After arranging this matter, Du Dezhong took a slow breath and said, "Xiao Wu, if you take people downstream, you must find Director Li's wife and those police officers." ”
Wu Yikai choked up and took someone away, and never came back. Two days later, the officers and men of the unit found their bodies at the border between the downstream and the province. Wu Yikai found Li Yongzhong's wife, whose body was leaning against the woman's body, only two meters away. A few small, battered trees stretched out their leaves, as if trying to help them shelter them from the last wind and rain.
The heavy rain finally stopped, and with the efforts of many rescue teams dispatched by Suxu City, and with the help of more than 200,000 citizens of Licheng, the section of the river that burst the embankment was finally successfully blocked. The flash flood in Taohuaxian Mountain has also been contained, and the price paid is extremely heavy, and the original peach orchard planting land has been washed away by the torrent, leaving a bare rock wall. Houses in the west of the city were also washed away, and some of them, although they did not collapse, became dilapidated and could no longer be inhabited.
In the aftermath of the floods, the entire city was littered with stinking mud and the carcasses of various domestic animals. Du Dezhong lost his personal secretary, and he was so tired that he could barely straighten his waist, but he still supported his almost overdrawn body and urged the health department to eliminate the safety hazard as soon as possible. In such a living environment, it is easy to catch the plague, and such a threat must be nipped in the bud.
The officers and soldiers of the troops supported by Su Xu did not evacuate, and in addition to assisting the Li Cheng side to continue to strengthen the river embankment, they also assigned some people to clean up the sludge and dilapidated houses in the urban area. Standing on a box truck, Du Dezhong publicly announced that the government would be responsible for rebuilding the destroyed houses in the west of the city, and that every household with a household registration in the west of the city would be able to live in a new house within a year and a half.
The citizens cried with joy, and Du Dezhong couldn't help but shed tears, only the media reporters who came from afar felt that these people were too hypocritical, and the most bitter time had passed, and now what strength was there to cry.
Back in the conference room, Li Yongzhong had already made a preliminary count of the damage caused by the flood. Including the rural population, the floods killed 307 people, left 16 missing and injured more than 1,000. Hundreds of homes collapsed, and countless farmlands and cars were damaged. On a comprehensive basis, the economic loss exceeded 3 billion yuan.
Du Dezhong nodded, looked at the black, thin and godless Li Yongzhong, and said, "Let's take two days off first, and take care of my wife's funeral." She is a hero and is qualified to enter the martyr's mausoleum. ”
Li Yongzhong wiped his tears, turned around and walked away slowly. Du Dezhong sat on the chair and wanted to sleep with his arms propped up for a while, but he didn't expect that his brain was dizzy, and he lay on the ground. When I woke up, there was a group of people in front of me, and when I looked up at my watch, it was already one o'clock in the morning. Zhu Jiaying and Sun Xingye were both dozing off on the side, and when they heard that Du Dezhong had woken up, they hurriedly came to Du Dezhong's bed, half complaining and half earnestly: "Old Du, you have to pay attention to your body, the reconstruction of Licheng is inseparable from you." ”
Du Dezhongqiang nodded with a smile, looked sideways, and it was snow-white next to him, and it turned out that the staff of the district government had sent him to the People's Hospital. Du Dezhong got out of the hospital bed, waved his hand, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”
He didn't want to be hospitalized, and no one could barely come. Back at the district office, Zhu Jiaying turned aside others, handed him Du Dezhong's mobile phone, and said, "There have been several calls from above, you can hurry back." Du Dezhong looked at the caller number, in addition to Su Xu's number, there were also a few calls from the capital. Du Dezhong's heart tightened, and he immediately guessed what was going on.
Zhu Jiaying was very eye-catching, waved his hand and left. Du Dezhong dialed back the number in the capital, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a service phone for a nightclub. Du Dezhong said: "I am Du Dezhong", the girl who answered the phone scolded impatiently for "neurosis", and hung up the phone directly. A few seconds later, the number in the capital was dialed back, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Is it District Chief Du?" ”
Du Dezhong looked at the caller number, which was the number he had just dialed back. The other end seemed to know what Du Dezhong was thinking, and explained: "The copied number segment is for secrecy. ”
Du Dezhong responded, and the voice on the other end said neatly: "After receiving the notice from the superiors, all the police forces in all districts and counties in Suxu have been assembled, and the target person, Cheng Liping, does not care about life and death." The hunt began at six o'clock this morning, and whether it was successful or not, it ended promptly at eight o'clock tomorrow night. ”
Du Dezhong wanted to ask why, but he thought that people would not answer, so he swallowed the words back into his stomach. called Du Deyong, and Du Deyong replied: "Check the ghost, the whole city has been searched, and the rabbit cub has not come back at all." ”
Du Dezhong sighed and said, "Regardless of whether he comes back or not, change the order, as long as you find his trace, strike first, and then talk about it after subduing it." Remember, try not to hurt him. ”
Du Deyong said: "Then what if he resists with all his might?" ”
Du Dezhong hesitated for a few minutes before closing his eyes and saying, "Then ...... Then shoot it. ”
