Text Chapter 1,351 The Water Approaches the City

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Firefighters and armed police are on call 24 hours a day, but after all, there are not many people. If we add them all together, there can be 300 people.  At the edge of the embankment, the two regiments were not equipped with enough troops. The three hundred men added to them would not only be a drop in the bucket, but they were almost the same.

    "However, adding a monkey will help us a lot. There are at least 300 people, and they can be more or less able to hold up for a while.

    After the people arrived, Gao Jue immediately arranged for the three hundred new people to go up the embankment and another battalion of soldiers to come down.  Those who have been replaced go to the tent to eat some food, drink some ginger syrup, and rest for an hour, and then go up to another camp to rest.

    No one can bear the continuous fatigue of fighting. If you can take a break in the middle, even if it cannot relieve all the fatigue, it can ease it to some extent.

    While Gao Jue was mobilizing troops, he also did not forget to call the city to urge reinforcements to come as soon as possible.  Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yao Chun was actually more anxious than him, jumping up and down in a hurry.

    Because he was also responsible for the construction of the Xiaozhang Bridge project that was destroyed.  Although the original Xiaozhang Bridge is a bit old, it is not broken, that is, it is old.  When Yao Chun was the mayor, he came here to inspect and found that the Xiaozhang Bridge was a bit old and affected the appearance of the city, so he ordered it to be demolished and the city government paid for it to build a new one.  This should be considered a good thing. Who would have thought that the hundred-year-old Xiaozhang Bridge was not even said to be washed away by floods, but this new bridge was washed away by floods. Isn't this a joke?

    Of course, as for the quality issues of the project, no one will pursue this now. Everyone is busy thinking of ways to build a bridge.  A river that is more than ten meters wide is usually nothing, but on such a rainy day, the water in the river is so rough that it is no different from a natural moat.

    Looking at this situation, it is basically impossible to build a bridge and bring people there by car. The only way is to find a way to send people over first, and then ask the Baita District Government to dispatch a car to pick them up.

    On the Tongjiang side, the urban area is a little better. There is no need to flood the towns and rural areas. The heavy rain at night alone is enough for the people to drink a pot.  It rained heavily a few days ago, but compared to tonight, it was far worse.  Many people's houses were damaged by heavy rain.  What's even more serious is that the drainage systems in towns and rural areas were completely paralyzed tonight, and there was water everywhere.  The water is deep enough to cover your calves.

    The people who stay at home are not wealthy and have few relatives in the city, so they are really reluctant to spend money to live in the city.  But now, with the sewage system paralyzed, towns and villages have become a vast ocean.  Fortunately, in every household, most people are prepared and know how to distribute water. Just in case, they dare not sleep at night.  As soon as they discovered the situation, the troops climbed to the roof one after another.

    Townships and towns hit hard by the disaster have called the district government one after another, asking for reinforcements. District Mayor Xia Delai is now feeling dizzy.  Secretary Gao was leading people to fight the flood on the riverside. Reinforcements had not yet arrived and there was not enough manpower. Now that the armed police and fire fighters were brought in, there was no one left to go to the towns and villages to provide disaster relief.  With no other choice, Xia Delai could only mobilize the police, requisition all buses and trucks in the district, and rush to urban and rural areas to rescue people.  Save as many as you can.  Now that's all he can do.  Moreover, there is no way to go to Secretary Gao for instructions on this kind of matter. Secretary Gao is already busy enough and has no time to talk to him.  Furthermore, if you depend on Secretary Gao for everything, what else do you need him to do?

    Xia Delai was making arrangements in the office. With him were Public Security Director Wang Ruolin, Executive Deputy District Chief E Jianguang, and several deputy district chiefs.  Xu Yan, the office director, was naturally among them.

    The map of Tongjiang District was placed in front of everyone. Xia Delai was quite calm. Even though his men were already stretched thin, he still made proper arrangements and arranged for reinforcements to be placed in several important places.

    The most important place at present is the Xiushui Gorge area.  Xiushui Gorge is extremely long and usually beautiful, but when it rains heavily, the water in the gorge swells and the surrounding area is flooded.

    This place needs more manpower, but there is really no one in Tongjiang District now.  They can only be dispatched by the police under the Public Security Bureau. Whether they are traffic police or police officers, as long as they are alive, they have to go.

    While we were making arrangements, the office phone on the table suddenly rang.

    "Ring, ring, ring"

    When he heard the phone ringing, Xia Delai had a headache. During this period, all the calls he received were for help. He didn't have anyone sent abroad.

    However, Xia Delai still picked up the phone and said, "Hello."

    "Hello, are you District Chief Xia? I'm Wang Yuanzhi from Dama Town." A middle-aged man's voice rang on the phone.

    Of course Xia Delai knew who Wang Yuanzhi was. He was the mayor of Dama Town.

    As soon as he heard Wang Yuanzhi's name, Xia Delai got a headache again. He knew without guessing what the other party was here for.?Coming to ask for help.  Xia Delai said calmly: "I am Xia Delai, what do you want from me?"

    "The district chief is like this. It has rained so hard since last night that the water level of the reservoir in our town has reached the warning level, and it is somewhat unbearable," Wang Yuanzhi said with a grimace.

    "What?" Upon hearing this, Xia Delai's heart suddenly trembled.

    There is a reservoir in Dama Town, which is responsible for drinking water in the area. Although the reservoir is not particularly large, it is not small either.  If the reservoir cannot hold on, there are only two consequences. One is to open the gate to release floods, which will be a great test for the downstream.  Cao Jingzhen's troops were stationed downstream. Cao Jingzhen was already struggling downstream. Another release of water from the reservoir might definitely be the straw that broke the camel's back.

    But if the flood is not released, the dam town will be destroyed, and the entire town may be submerged.

    Xia Delai was angry and cursed loudly: "What did you do? Why didn't you release the flood water earlier? It happened at this juncture! How did you do your job?"

    "District Chief, when the tide went out the day before yesterday, the reservoir had already discharged water. Unexpectedly, the rain in the past two days has been too heavy, especially yesterday. The rainfall was so heavy that it has now reached the warning line. Now the river water is so high in the town.  I don¡¯t know what to do,¡± the mayor Wang Yuanzhi said in an aggrieved voice.

    "Okay! I understand, just wait by the phone for me, let me study it, and then I'll call you!" Xia Delai said angrily.

    "Yes Yes"

    Wang Yuanzhi on the opposite side was nervous and carefully agreed.

    Xia Delai slammed the phone down, glanced at Xu Yan, Wang Ruolin, E Jianguang and others sitting nearby, and then talked about the tight situation of the dam town reservoir to see if anyone could do anything.  method.

    When they heard about this, people like Xu Yan and Wang Ruolin also had headaches.  This is really true, even if the gate is opened, it won't work either.  If the gate is opened, it is possible that all Cao Jingzhen's troops will be wiped out in one fell swoop.  If the gate is not opened, what will the people in the town do?

    Dear friends, you look at me, I look at you, no one makes a sound.  It took a long time before a deputy district chief said carefully: "District Chief, if not, please ask Secretary Gao for instructions."

    In fact, it goes without saying that when everyone encounters this situation, the first thing they think of is Secretary Gao.  In their view, perhaps only Secretary Gao could think of the most ideal solution.

    But at this time, Secretary Gao was running around anxiously. It would not be a good idea to disturb Secretary Gao.  But what if I don¡¯t bother you?

    Xia Delai hesitated for a moment. He also knew that the matter was serious and could not be delayed any longer. He had to report the matter to Gao Jue.  But Xia Delai is also very cunning. Knowing this, if he were to report it, Secretary Gao would definitely not be able to do well now. If he were to make matters worse, he might even curse.  So, he looked at Xu Yan and said gently: "Xiao Xu, call Secretary Gao and report the situation in Dama Town to Secretary Gao and ask for instructions on what to do."

    "Yes, District Chief." When Xu Yan saw Xia De coming to ask him to make a call, Xu Yan could only agree, and then took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

    She also understood that at this juncture, Xia Delai did not dare to call Secretary Gao for fear of being scolded, but since it was impossible not to do so, he could only let her, a confidant, do the beating.

    Xu Yan dialed Gao Jue's mobile phone number. After a few rings, he was connected. Gao Jue's voice sounded, "Hello."

    "Hello, Secretary Gao, I'm Xiao Xu." Xu Yan said immediately as soon as he heard Gao Jue's voice.

    "Xiao Xu, what's the matter?" Gao Jue was very busy at the dam and had no time to be polite to Xu Yan, so he asked directly.

    "Secretary Gao, we just received a call from Damba Town, saying that the water level in the reservoir on the dam has risen and reached the warning line. I want to ask, what should we do now?" Xu Yan said carefully.

    "What?" After hearing this, Gao Jue's first reaction was almost the same as Xia Delai's, because right now, he was afraid of water.  Immediately afterwards, Gao Jue asked again: "I heard the report from the Water Conservancy Bureau. Didn't the reservoir just release the water the day before yesterday? Why is it urgent again today?"

    "The town said it was because the rain was too heavy and too fast, that's why it happened. Right now, District Chief Xia and we are studying what should be done, but we can't think of a way," Xu Yan said with a grimace.

    Gao Jue also knew the seriousness of the matter. Cao Jingzhen¡¯s troops downstream would be doomed. If the flood was not discharged, the reservoir would collapse and the dam town would be doomed.  Of course, what's more important is that if Cao Jingzhen is finished, the dike guarded by Cao Jingzhen will also be finished, and the entire downstream area near the dike will be flooded.

    However, if the dam town¡¯s reservoir collapses, the dam town will be destroyed immediately, and the losses will be very small.?It's quite serious, Gao Jue can only make a choice.  We still have to make a decision in the shortest possible time.  This is definitely a vexing subject.  (To be continued.
