Dai Chunqiang, a villager in Xiaodai Village, took his raincoat and told his mother-in-law, "Get a few bags filled with soil to block the door of the pig pen. I don't know when it will rain. I'm afraid it will get flooded."
"Where are you going?" The mother-in-law said worriedly as she grabbed a blanket and covered the two children.
Dai Chunqiang said, "I'm going to see the land."
"Well, be careful."
"knew."
Dai Chunqiang put on his raincoat and went out.
Walking on the mechanical farming road that he had walked countless times, Dai Chunqiang suddenly found that the mechanical farming road had been flooded. Looking up, the farmland on both sides was sparkling.
He felt nervous and quickly walked towards his farmland.
No miracle happened. Dai Chunqiang saw that his farmland was also a vast ocean, with only a little of the knee-high rice rising above the water.
It's over. Several acres of rice are completely over.
This is the family's only harvest at the end of the year.
Dai Chunqiang calmed down his mind and walked quickly towards the river.
He County is a plain area with crisscrossed rivers and ravines, a typical Jiangnan water town landform, so the rice planting rate is very high. Xiaodai Village is a larger natural village along the Dai River, mainly planting rice.
When he walked to the bank of Daihe River, Dai Chunqiang saw with his own eyes that the entire river was full, with water constantly overflowing and spreading in all directions. Yesterday, the water level of Daihe River was still under the dam, but today it has seriously exceeded it!
The road ahead has disappeared, and the spreading river water is continuously pouring into the farmland.
Dai Chunqiang watched the rain getting heavier and heavier, and the panic in his heart deepened day by day.
He heard the old man say that there was a flood in the village decades ago and the whole village was submerged. When the old man mentioned the tragic situation at that time, he could hardly speak.
Dai Chunqiang felt a chill in his heart, turned around and ran home.
Before he ran very far, he heard a rumbling sound behind him, like thunder. He subconsciously stopped and looked back, and saw waves several meters high pouring in from the Daihe River.
The dam has burst!
Dai Chunqiang's bad premonition came true, and he ran home like crazy.
"Quick! Get the children up! Quick! The embankment has burst! Go quickly!" Dai Chunqiang shouted to his mother-in-law who was building soil at the entrance of the pig pen.
"Hurry up! You are still waiting for death!" Dai Chunqiang yelled again.
The mother-in-law woke up from a dream, ran into the house, woke up the two children, dressed them, and then hurriedly found the more than 100 yuan and dowry bracelets at home, shouting, "Where are you going? Chunqiang! Where are you going?
Ah! What to do with the pig?"
Dai Chunqiang was still conscious. He quickly picked up a few pieces of the child's clothes and carried them on his back. He said urgently, "I can't take care of it anymore. You take the child to the temple in the south of the village. The terrain is high! I'm going to inform others!"
"What do you care about what they do!" the mother-in-law said anxiously.
"Shut up! Take the kids away!"
Dai Chunqiang picked up the two children and pushed his mother-in-law and ran away. When they went out, they heard the sound of the water coming in.
He asked his mother-in-law to take the two children to the small temple in the south of the village. Dai Chunqiang went from house to house to inform the villagers. Before notifying several households, the water rushed in, and the water level reached the knee level in an instant.
Dai Chunqiang rushed to the village radio station, dragged the broadcaster who was still sleeping soundly up, and made emergency broadcasts continuously. He only called twice and there was a power outage...
"The Dai River has burst its banks."
The latest news reached the Southern Industrial Disaster Relief Frontline Command.
Yao Yuan was stunned, he was finally here.
He remembered that Hexian County was the most severely affected area. The county had a population of more than 300,000, and the number of people directly affected by the disaster reached 100,000. In other words, almost every household was indirectly affected and suffered losses.
The county town is also not safe because there are many rivers connected to the Yangtze River in the surrounding area.
Lin Xiaohu continued to report, "When Brother Yong's reconnaissance team arrived at the south of Xiaodai Village, they were unable to enter. Xiaodai Village has been submerged. Brother Yong and the others are looking for the villagers."
"Is the rubber boat in place?" Yao Yuan turned to ask Zhou Fei.
Most of the personnel and materials were delivered to the disaster area through headwind logistics, and Zhou Fei became the head of the logistics support team.
Zhou Fei immediately reported, "The Boeing 747 will take off in an hour. It is expected to arrive at Jinling Airport in three hours, and it will take four hours at the fastest to reach Hexian County."
"Too slow." Yao Yuan was extremely worried.
The indispensable tool for flood fighting and rescue operations is a rubber boat. Assault boats, a type of vehicle that can be used in shallow water areas, are only available in the assault boat troops. The rubber boats purchased by Nanfang Industrial are all imported goods because they cannot be produced domestically.
These things have to be transported from the war preparation warehouses in Guangdong and Nangang.
"What's the water level?" Yao Yuan asked Lin Xiaohu.
Lin Xiaohu said, "Brother Yong said it should be 1.2 meters, and people can't walk."
Only one kind of construction machinery can drive into this water depth, and it is also very dangerous.
Yao Yuan made an immediate decision, "Look, use your strength to look for it. There must be many boats in the Jiangnan water town. Look, if you find one, go in. The top priority is to rescue people!"
"Yes!" Lin Xiaohu went immediately.
The advance team immediately took action, targeting Xiaodai Village, which was first affected by the disaster.
Yao Yuan held the satellite phone tightly and made frequent calls, urging the troops to speed up. According to the plan, at least two thousand people should have entered the disaster area at this moment, but in fact, except for the advance team led by Yao Yuan himself,
The rest have not arrived yet.
The traffic in this era is really driving Yao Yuan crazy. No matter how good the plan is, it is meaningless without sufficient traffic infrastructure support.
Zhou Feihui reported, "Boss, the Ningnan Railway Bureau has only allocated thirty wagons. Mr. Duan just called and our personnel and materials have begun to form a backlog at Nangang Railway Station."
The Ningnan Railway Bureau promised to allocate 210 wagons, that is, three freight trains, within 24 hours, but now it has only one-seventh. However, the Southern Industry is in accordance with the plan, which means that there are
Six-sevenths of the personnel and materials will be backlogged at Nangang Railway Station.
Yao Yuan immediately called Duan Hanwen and asked, "Mr. Duan, this is Yao Yuan, what's the situation with the Ningnan Railway Bureau? They should allocate at least 210 wagons."
"Mr. Yao! The situation is very complicated!" Duan Hanwen was very noisy over there, probably at the train station. He said loudly, "The leaders of the Ningnan Bureau made it clear that they could not allocate trains as agreed before, but they did not say the reason.
I’m communicating with the cargo owner here at the freight station to see if I can use their wagon indicators!”
Obviously, when Duan Hanwen learned that the Ningnan Bureau could not allocate enough freight trains, he had already started to think of other ways. Some state-owned enterprises and enterprises and institutions have their own fixed freight quotas, and some companies that cannot use up the freight will receive goods from outside.
, shipping goods in their own name, they are actually doing the work of a freight intermediary, but freight intermediaries like them have truck quotas, which are extremely tough.
State-owned enterprises have endless supply of wagons, and self-employed and private enterprises cannot find wagons. This is the current situation of railway transportation. Private enterprises have to spend more money to borrow wagons from state-owned enterprises, or find ways to obtain wagons from railway freight offices.
"I understand. Send the priority materials first, and the large construction machinery will press them first." Yao Yuan ordered.
Duan Hanwen said loudly, "Understood! I will adjust it immediately."
Yao Yuan said, "Organize a group of rubber boats to Nangang Airport and airlift the boat operators and life-saving supplies. The plane should be back soon."
"Understood, I'll organize it right away! Mr. Yao, do you have any other instructions?" Duan Hanwen said.
Yao Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Ask the combat units to provide support. They have brother units in East China. Tell them whoever contributes the most to Southern Industry can directly participate in the construction of the petrochemical base."
There is no need to bid, just participate directly, which is almost the same as giving money directly.
