After the vehicle-mounted radio station completed the mobile broadcasting task, it was finally located at the T-junction 100 meters away in front of the first gate of Cofferdam Township, and became the front-line headquarters of the retreat. Jiang Chaolin stood by the radio car and sent out one order after another through the radio and telephone: 40 Jiefang trucks and other township-owned motor vehicles of the Cofferdam Township Transportation Company were requisitioned on the spot; All steam ferries to Jinghu City are closed; Except for the rescue forces of the People's Liberation Army, idle and miscellaneous personnel are not allowed to enter the evacuation area of Cofferdam Township; The mobile brigade of the traffic police set up posts along the city and county highways to guide the flow of people to Binh Duong and Jinghu...... In order to prevent missing dead ends, Jiang Chaolin asked the TV plug-in station set up in the township ** compound to continuously broadcast the Pingyang City People's ** order before 2 p.m.; The secretary of each administrative village branch and the village director are required to carefully inspect the village to which they belong before evacuation, pay special attention to the protection of the elderly and children, and take all necessary measures for those who refuse to transfer; The cadres and masses of the cofferdam township are required to obey the command of the comrades of the People's Liberation Army and the public security cadres......

The brief chaos before dawn was over, and in the face of Jiang Chaolin's almost arrogant leadership will, the great transfer began in an orderly manner. Jiang Chaolin noticed that after eight o'clock, the rolling flow of people helping the old and the young began to appear on the avenue in front of him. At around 9 o'clock, a convoy of trucks with the words "transport company" printed on the doors appeared, and most of the trucks were carrying women and children. Immediately afterwards, the automobile regiment of the group army stationed in Ping drove in, and the cars were full of PLA officers and soldiers.

At this time, there was a traffic jam, people and vehicles in the town went out, the People's Liberation Army convoy went in, and many large livestock were also crowded on the road, which seriously affected the evacuation progress. Jiang Chaolin couldn't see it well, so he shouted in front of the radio and asked the evacuated team to detour to the polder embankment in front of the town and let the rescue convoy of the People's Liberation Army drive over first.

However, the situation of the people behind is unknown, and there is still a steady stream of people pouring in from the town and other villages......

At this time, Tian Liye was sweating profusely and squeezed through the flow of people, and was seen by Jiang Chaolin, Jiang Chaolin immediately ordered in a hoarse voice: "Liye, you go over quickly, go to the other side of the road to stop the crowd, and let them divert the polder!" ”

Tian Liye had just finished checking the deployment of the traffic police mobile brigade, he was tired and hungry, he wanted to eat something in front of the radio car, but when he saw Jiang Chaolin's order coming down again, he didn't say a word, grabbed the electric horn and squeezed back.

Jiang Chaolin remembered: "Liye, haven't you eaten breakfast yet?" Grab bread and mineral water! ”

Tian Liye took the bread and mineral water from Jiang Chaolin's hand, and ate it while squeezing through the crowd.

As soon as Tian Liye left, Commander Li of the group army in camouflage uniform, accompanied by Bai Aini, secretary of the Jinghu Municipal Party Committee, squeezed over, and shouted in a loud voice: "Secretary Jiang, Secretary Jiang, where are you?" We're here to report to you! ”

Jiang Chaolin had already gotten into the radio car at this time, and was about to continue shouting and let the flow of people in front of him retreat first, but when he heard Commander Li's call, he immediately got out of the car and said to Commander Li: "Thank you, thank you, Commander Li!" At a critical time, we still have to rely on our soldiers! ”

Commander Li said with a smile: "The people's soldiers, the people have raised soldiers for a thousand days, and now they are using soldiers for a while, what is there to be polite about?" Say, Secretary Jiang, what are the latest instructions? ”

Jiang Chaolin also smiled: "Commander Li, don't be joking, I don't dare to instruct you, you also know the situation: the extraordinarily large flood peak arrived at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and we were faced with two things: first, the Changjiang embankment must be preserved, and the flood cannot be allowed to flood Pingyang; Second, the 80,000 people here must be evacuated by two o'clock in the afternoon! ”

Commander Li said again and again: "I know, I know, the Central Military Commission and the head of the military region have orders, most of our group army has been pulled up, and the troops are divided into two routes, one is led by Political Commissar Sun to the Pingyang River embankment, and this way I will take you to support your retreat." Along the way, I also discussed with Secretary Bai Aini, and the team divided up to do the work, striving to complete the evacuation of the people before one o'clock in the afternoon, and no later than two o'clock at the latest, all the vehicles that could be mobilized were transferred. ”

Jiang Chaolin hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, this is great!" ”

Bai Aini also said: "Old secretary, we also urgently organized more than 300 cadres and more than 100 vehicles to drive over overnight to cooperate with Commander Li and the group army......

Jiang Chaolin glanced at Bai Aini unhappily: "You cooperate with Commander Li?" It's Commander Li cooperating with you! Aini, what's the matter with you? Yes? How did you go to the cofferdam yesterday and give a directive and leave? Hu Zaoqiu usually throws off a little, but at this time he has a stronger sense of responsibility than you, he stayed! ”

Bai Aini said: "Who would have thought that the city council would suddenly order an overnight transfer? I've always said that I want to keep it strictly! ”

Jiang Chaolin was even more angry: "What else do you say!" It was my order that I suggest to the municipal party committee! Why didn't you Bai Aini suggest that the municipal party committee order the evacuation of people? Secretary Gao is not familiar with the situation in Pingyang, and he didn't count it in his heart, didn't you count it either? Why are you so confused! Alright, alright, stop being verbose, go and clear the crowd! ”

Bai Aini took people to guide the flow of people, and Commander Li and Jiang Chaolin chatted for a few days.

Commander Li said: "Secretary Jiang, I heard ten days ago that you went down and retreated to the second line, and I and Political Commissar Sun went to the Municipal People's Congress to see you, you are not there, and your Director Huang said that you are hiding." What are you hiding from, afraid that I and Commissar Sun will drink your wine? So stingy? Ignoring years of fighting friendship? Yes? ”

Jiang Chaolin said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you and Political Commissar Sun will drink my wine, but I'm afraid that you will pour my wine." I'm too old to deal with all the heroes and heroes under your command! ”

Commander Li pretended to be serious: "Secretary Jiang, the revolutionary will cannot be faded, the old man is in the bush, and his ambitions are thousands of miles!" ”

Jiang Chaolin was not serious: "Hey, I said Commander Li, are you talking about the revolutionary will or the will to drink?" Do you want to get some staff adjutant to salute me: 'Report chief, drink dry, I'm free!' ’”

Commander Li laughed: "Secretary Jiang, haven't you forgotten this?" That little staff officer was too excited to see you, and said the toast in the opposite direction, it should be 'Report to the chief, I'll drink dry, you are free', hey, didn't I and Political Commissar Sun criticize him on the spot?! Then he asked, "How is this new Gao Changhe?" Are there benefits? ”

Jiang Chaolin said: "It's definitely better than me, and I won't often trouble you." ”

Commander Li smiled: "Secretary Jiang, you finally tell the truth, your brother hasn't bothered our group army a lot over the years, right?" Yes? Tell me, when did your Binh Duong Municipal Party Committee make a big move without our cooperation? This is back to the second line, and you don't even take pictures with us, like talking? It's decided, let's get together after the flood fight, and I have a treat with Political Commissar Sun! ”

Jiang Chaolin hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, I'll invite you." These 80,000 people, you Li Junzuo help me withdraw safely, and I personally invite you to drink Moutai! ”

Commander Li smiled and said: "That's good, that's good, let's make a decision, you will serve the wine, and I will serve the food!" ”

At this time, the road in front of him was cleared, and one after another military vehicles began to surge forward, Commander Li jumped on the front military vehicle and left, and shouted to Jiang Chaolin in the car: "Hey, Secretary Jiang, pay attention to your body, your brother's face is very ugly!" ”

Jiang Chaolin waved his hand to Commander Li and didn't say anything, thinking, how can his face look good? The day before yesterday, I didn't sleep well because I was angry, and I almost didn't sleep all night yesterday, even young people can't bear it, let alone him. I really want to find a place to sleep for a while. However, it is completely impossible, the evacuation of 80,000 people is being carried out intensively, and unexpected situations can occur at any time, and he, as the front-line commander, must stay here and make judgments and decisions on any accidents that may arise.

Although he was very tired, he was in a happy mood, and those magnificent scenes in the past seemed to have reappeared, and Jiang Chaolin seemed to have returned to the decision-making post of the secretary of the municipal party committee. Yes, it was he who made the decisions, and these 80,000 people did enter the Great Transfer under his will. Tian Liye had asked him privately: If the embankment was not broken when the flood peak arrived in the afternoon, would such a large-scale transfer be unnecessary? His answer was that even if the embankment was not broken, this kind of transfer was also necessary, and a responsible decision-maker could not take care of his own face in front of the safety of 80,000 people! He would rather not break the embankment and be scolded by his ancestors afterwards, than take the lives of these 80,000 people as a child's play!

At the same time, Tian Liye was also tired enough, although the road was cleared, but the effective order had not yet been formed, and the flow of people in the town was still pouring forward, squeezing him and several traffic police officers around him to stagger. Behind him are constantly passing military vehicles, and in front of him is a chaotic crowd, and if you are not careful, you can be dangerous.

Tian Liye jumped to the narrow pedestal of the electric pole on the side of the road in a hurry, holding the hot electric pole in one hand and the electric horn in the other hand to guide the flow of people in front of him.

Amid the horns of military vehicles, the clamor of the crowd and the screams of some livestock, Tian Liye's hoarse and mechanical voice sounded over and over again in the July sun: "...... Take military vehicles on the main road! Evacuees will all go to the polder! Take military vehicles on the main road! Evacuees are all to take the polder......"

The July sun was really scorching, and after a while, Tian Liye was sweating profusely.

At this time, Hu Zaoqiu, who was also sweating profusely, came out of nowhere, Tian Liye couldn't care about getting angry with Hu Zaoqiu, jumped off the pedestal of the telephone pole, and pulled Hu Zaoqiu back: "Commander Hu, quickly, you go to Captain Wang of the traffic police brigade and ask him to send a few more people over to organize a cordon at the corner of the street!" ”

Hu Zaoqiu was a little embarrassed and said, "Leader Tian, where can I find Captain Wang at this time?" The task given to me by the old secretary was to ensure the safety of the embankment before the evacuation of personnel. A leak was found at the mouth of the East River, Zhou Jiuyi and they have already passed, I have to hurry up and take a look! Don't get into trouble! ”

Tian Liye was out of options, and waved his hand weakly: "Then you go quickly and report the situation to the old secretary in time!" ”

Hu Zaoqiu said: "Leader Tian, you deal with it for a while, and I'll come over when I'm done!" It was also a coincidence that at this time, Hu Zaoqiu found Lao Jin, deputy secretary of the township party committee, in the crowded crowd, so he called Lao Jin out and said, "Lao Jin, you are now under the command of Secretary General Tian of the Municipal Party Committee!" ”

Tian Liye is one more soldier.

At around 11 o'clock, all the military vehicles entered more than a dozen administrative villages and natural villages under the cofferdam township through the street entrance, and the flow of people pouring out of the town began to slow down. After 12 o'clock, there were barely many people on foot to see, and military vehicles full of refugees began to roar out. At this time, the roads leading to the safety zones of Binh Duong and Jinghu were all dredged, and the military vehicles rushed out of the cofferdam township almost unimpeded.

According to reports from various districts, as of 12:30 p.m. on that day, 70,000 people had withdrawn or had already boarded their cars, and were in the process of withdrawing from the dangerous area of the cofferdam township.

At 12:45 p.m., Tian Liye and Hu Zaoqiu went to the radio station car to have a boxed lunch. Just when he was eating a boxed lunch, the old secretary Jiang Chaolin was sleepy, tired and hot, and he was already suffering from high blood pressure, so he suddenly fainted with the boxed lunch. Fortunately, Gao Changhe was careful and was afraid that Jiang Chaolin would have an accident, so he sent a doctor on the radio car and brought first-aid medicines. The doctor gave first aid on the spot, which made Jiang Chaolin quickly wake up.

Tian Liye and Hu Zaoqiu were frightened by this false alarm and insisted that Jiang Chaolin return to Pingyang.

Jiang Chaolin didn't do it, and said weakly: "Liye, early autumn, you ...... You don't have a day or two with me, do you? Tell me, I'm ...... at this time Can I go? ”

Tian Liye and Hu Zaoqiu, you look at me, I look at you, and they are silent......
