Usually I always feel that the cadre team is bloated and overstaffed, which may even increase the burden on the masses. Now when we encounter a major disaster, we suddenly find that there are not enough cadres.

Superiors requested that hundreds of thousands of people be evacuated to a safe area within five hours. It has already been seven hours, and there are still tens of thousands of people blocking the evacuation road.

It is necessary not only to organize evacuation, but also to organize forces to reinforce and heighten the dams and dangerous culverts in the safe area, and to organize forces to conduct blanket inspections of the evacuation area to ensure that no one is left behind!

The county's cadres were completely insufficient, so they had no choice but to ask the People's Liberation Army for assistance.

Including the 132nd Regiment, there are now more than 2,000 People's Liberation Army and Armed Police soldiers from various units assisting in the investigation.

Director Hu wanted to accompany the chief to inspect, but County Chief Huang was the only one left on the embankment.

Looking at the rising water level in the large semi-circular pond, thinking about the tens of thousands of people behind him who had not yet evacuated to a safe area, and thinking about the fact that Vice President L and other top leaders were all in the flood diversion area, County Magistrate Huang made up his mind to live or die with the dangerous embankment!

People are here!

If he couldn't hold on, he wouldn't be able to explain to his superiors, and he would be sorry for so many people. Apart from dying, he didn't know what better choice he could have.

Bureau Ge sent the chief off and returned to the headquarters tent. He saw that County Magistrate Huang no longer called and gave orders as frequently as before. Instead, he stood there stupidly looking at the dike and silently crying. He realized that he was under great pressure and was about to have a nervous breakdown.

As the county magistrate, he must cheer up!

Lao Ge hurriedly said: "County Magistrate Huang, Magistrate Huang."

"Oh, Ge Ju, what's the matter?"

"The phone is ringing, answer the phone quickly!"

"Really? I didn't pay attention."

"Don't worry, with us here, we will definitely be able to defend it."

"Thanks."

"Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank our Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Government and the people of Linghai. You answer the phone first, and I will tell you in detail after answering the phone."

County Magistrate Huang picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID before hanging up.

Ge Ju asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you answer?"

"It's not important that this is a call from my lover." County Magistrate Huang put down his cell phone, raised his head and said, "Ge Ju, you continue."

Although he is the county magistrate, there is not much he can do now.

If we need supplies but don’t have them, we won’t be able to deliver them even for a while.

There was no one important person. All the party members and cadres in the county had tasks and were extremely busy. Otherwise, he would not be the only commander left on the dangerous embankment.

Lao Ge realized that talking about work now was in vain, so he simply played the role of a psychiatrist, took out a stack of engineering materials for protecting the Laomiao Gate in Lingjiang County from his bag, and said with a fake smile: "County Magistrate Huang,

We are not only here for emergency rescue, but also for construction. When the immediate danger is rescued, we will also trouble you to help us sign and seal the project documents."

"Really? Let me take a look."

"These are on the other side. We haven't had time to prepare the rescue project information for the dangerous section of Yangliu Village, but you can take a look first."

County Magistrate Huang took it and looked through it for a while. When he saw the details of the construction amount, he thought of it together with Deputy Magistrate Wang of Lingjiang County. He asked with a wry smile: "Ge Bureau, you mean our county has to pay for the project."

payment?"

"The public security fire brigade is free of charge for fighting fires. We are the Linghai Reserve Battalion, and reserve troops are also troops. There is no charge for rescue operations!"

"Then what are you doing with this information?"

"Since we are doing engineering, we must prepare engineering materials. These materials are very important..."

Lao Gemei talked about the importance of the project data and how the Lingjiang side was grateful to the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Government and the people of Linghai.

County Magistrate Huang said hurriedly: "No problem, I will sign what needs to be signed, and we will stamp what needs to be stamped! Thank you is also a must. When the people have evacuated to the safe area, I will ask Director Hu to make the banner and let the government office write it."

Thank you letter.”

"How can this be so embarrassing?"

"Yes, you have helped us a lot. We, the Angong County Party Committee, County Government and the people of Angong are grateful, and we will keep it in our hearts!"

…

After Lao Ge's explanation, County Magistrate Huang cheered up again and personally mobilized villagers from several nearby villages who were unwilling to evacuate to the safe area but ran to the embankment to participate in the rescue.

At the same time, Gu Pengfei organized the crew members summoned by the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau to successfully plug the leaks that the navy divers risked their lives to find!

If there is no stone, use iron belts and sandbags to cage it, wrap it in a few quilts and throw it to the bottom of the river.

Rather than throwing it, it is better to say it is hanging down with a cable.

Navy divers assisted underwater and dragged the sandbag cage above the leakage point. Through the communication system in the diving equipment, people on the boat were asked to lower it down so that they could accurately press on the leakage point.

A sandbag cage weighs less than a ton and may not be able to hold it, and may even be washed away by the current.

When all the divers came up, Gu Pengfei immediately ordered the crew to continue throwing, and threw more than a thousand sandbags to the leaking point.

The effect of plugging leaks is also obvious.

Two of the seven "Baotu Spring" in the large semicircular pond disappeared soon, and the water level rise slowed down significantly. It was left to the Linghai Reserve Battalion to repair the cofferdam and the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 132th Regiment to build a sandbag wall.

Gained valuable time.

The naval lieutenant colonel requested to go into the water again to investigate.

Han Yu held up the walkie-talkie and said: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, although I don't understand diving operations, I know very well that diving operations are very physically demanding and your people can no longer go into the water."

"Commander-in-Chief, the water is still pouring into the embankment, and there must be some leaks at the bottom of the river!"

"I know that you helped us plug a leak and helped us protect two pipe outlets. You have completed the task brilliantly. What you need now is to go ashore to rest. This is an order."

"What to do with the remaining five pipe outlets?"

"Let them flow in, we can handle it now."

"Okay, we obey orders."

…

A layman cannot command an expert.

Deputy Mayor Shen didn't want to cause chaos by giving random orders. He was not familiar with the local situation and couldn't help County Magistrate Huang, so he simply stood on the embankment and called Secretary Ye to report.

Secretary Ye couldn't believe his ears and asked in surprise: "You followed Vice President L? And you even reported to Vice President L?"

"Well, Vice President L has a very high opinion of our Linghai."

"Is it against us, Linghai, or the Linghai Reserve Battalion?"

"It's mainly for us, Linghai. Without Linghai, there would be no Linghai Reserve Battalion!"

"That's true, hahaha. Shen Fan, I didn't expect you to be so lucky to be able to meet Vice President L."

Vice Mayor Shen was really excited and said hurriedly: "Secretary Ye, actually you should come. We are now not only the emergency rescue force of the Yangtze River Defense Headquarters, but also the emergency rescue team of Jingzhou City Defense Command. What we are protecting now and what we will rescue in the future

The ones we protect are all major dangers that alarm the leaders of Zhong Y. In other words, as long as a senior leader comes, they must visit our rescue scene. If you and Mayor Qian can come, you can take this opportunity to report to the senior leader.

"

Secretary Ye envied Vice Mayor Shen very much. He motioned to Secretary Liu to invite Mayor Qian and said with a smile: "Mayor Qian and I would like to go, but can we go far? It's fine as long as you are there, you represent me.

Mayor Qian, please report to the senior leaders on our various tasks in Linghai."

"Secretary Ye, I'm not afraid of your jokes. My mental quality is not good. When Vice President L asked him this morning, I was so nervous that I didn't know how to answer. I'm really not as good as salted fish in this regard. In front of so many leaders, he actually asked Vice President L if he could

Are you leaving? Then he said 'Goodbye, chief' and left."

"This boy is indeed Xu Sanye's apprentice, but he doesn't regard Vice President L as a cadre."

"The main reason is that he has heavy responsibilities and is under great pressure."

Vice Mayor Shen looked up at the cadres and the masses who were racing against time to rescue, and said worriedly: "Although they have formulated several rescue plans before, they still have a serious estimate of the complexity, severity and difficulty of rescue operations here.

insufficient.

He is now not only responsible for the safety of the entire battalion of officers and soldiers, but also for the tens of thousands of people who are still evacuating under the embankment, and for the safety of Deputy General L and other leaders. He can't care about anything now, and has been working since half past one in the night.

I’m so busy now that I don’t have time to eat, drink water, and even don’t have time to pee!”

Angong County is thousands of miles away.

Linghai couldn't help even if he wanted to.

Secretary Ye asked Mayor Qian who had just come in to sit down and said: "When this dangerous situation is rescued, you have to arrange for him to rest. He is the backbone of the whole camp. Anyone can collapse, but he cannot collapse from exhaustion."

"I know."

Vice Mayor Shen didn't want to worry his hometown, so he quickly changed the subject: "Secretary Ye, have you received the thank-you message from Lingjiang County?"

"I received it, around nine o'clock this morning. The writing was very sincere, and I can tell it was a heartfelt thank you. Mayor Qian and I are thinking about how to promote it."

"Secretary Ye, reporters from Linghai Daily took a lot of photos, all of which were rescuers. Lao Ge said that Director Wang of Binjiang Daily had a film fax machine. Director Wang went to interview the people who had evacuated. He estimated that he should be able to reach Angong County in the afternoon.

There is a landline phone in the county seat, and Lao Ge asked him to help send our photos back."

"That's great. Just a thank you letter without photos is not convincing. We can promote it better if we have photos of the rescue scene!"

"Lao Ge also arranged for the driver of the Port Authority's convoy to go back first to take the rescue video tape shot by the Linghai TV reporter. It will be delivered tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"It would be better to have a video. Lao Ge did a great job."
