Chapter 1633: Dong Wanrui's reinforcements

No one could have imagined that the next breach would come so fast, so urgent, and so fierce.
At 13:50 on August 7, just a few hours after the last breach was blocked, the Jiujiang embankment of the Yangtze River broke again. The breach was located between gates No. 4 and No. 5 in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River embankment in the urban area of ​​Jiujiang City. The second breach is extremely fierce and dangerous because its width exceeds 30 meters!
Looking at the surging water at the breach, Dong Wanrui clenched his tooth crown and thought about the countermeasures nervously-30 meters in width, this is no longer a breach that can be blocked by jumping a few people down. It must be suppressed with enough materials. It's best to live with a boulder, but for a while, where to find so many boulders? And even if they can be found, how can they be transported to the embankment?
Or there is another way, using boats.
Loading the ship with sand and soil, driving it to the crevice, and then scutting it, should have the same effect-however, at this moment, where the river is windy and rainy, where will there be a ship?
Unless the local government is immediately mobilized to ask them to urgently recruit local boaters, at least several hours will be delayed. Now, time is the most needed material to reduce losses and save lives!
How to do? Is there any other way?
While gritting his teeth, Dong Wanrui continued to think about all feasible methods, while calling the local Jiujiang City Government, preparing to report the current situation first, so that they would immediately organize the evacuation of the people in Jiujiang City to a safe place, and at the same time look for local boat owners. , To see if we can find people and ships willing to participate in the rescue.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a tumult from the embankment. It was difficult to hear what the soldiers guarding the embankment were shouting in the rain, but at least one word came into his eardrums clearly.
"ferry……"
ferry!
There is a boat!
Dong Wanrui explained the relevant matters to the Jiujiang City Government personnel who answered the phone at the fastest speed, then put down the phone and rushed to the dam.
Sure enough, on the wind and rain on the river, there is a boat going upstream.
Moreover, it is not a boat, it is a fleet!
Judging from the direction the fleet is traveling, they are coming towards the breach of the embankment!
Could it be...reinforcement has arrived?
However, Dong Wanrui, who was responsible as the commander-in-chief of flood fighting and rescue of the Jiujiang section of the levee, searched through his own memory and could not remember the information about which unit had sent reinforcements here.
The answer was quickly revealed, and the correspondent ran over with excitement to report to him that he had contacted the fleet through the civilian channel, confirmed the identity of the other party, and learned that the other party was indeed a reinforcement!
The fleet belongs to the "China Harbour Engineering Co., Ltd.", and they are here to help fight floods in the Jiujiang section!
And there is a bigger good news-this fleet is full of construction materials, cement, yellow sand, steel bars and even concrete precast piles, there is no shortage!
This is called giving charcoal in the snow!
While screaming luck in his heart, Dong Wanrui allowed the soldiers on the dam to command the fleet to dock, and at the same time, he calculated in his mind whether one or two ships in the fleet could be requisitioned to fill the gap. The material for the breach, compensation or something can only be discussed afterwards-the nature of the other party's unit is also a state-owned enterprise. At this terrible time, it must be able to communicate through the above negotiations. Is it just the communication efficiency of the state-owned enterprise? It is always so unsatisfactory, but time is the most precious resource at the moment. Now I can only hope that the person in charge of the opposing fleet is responsible.
The development of the matter was even smoother than Dong Wanrui had imagined. There was no need for him to communicate, and news came from the fleet. They saw the breach, and they had arranged two ships with a tonnage of 500 tons. The richest old sailor drove towards the breach. The ship was already filled with cement and yellow sand. They were ready to sink the two ships across the breach and hope the soldiers on the embankment would cooperate. Work, once the ship sinks, immediately start the operation of pile down and sandbag filling, and complete the sealing of the breach as soon as possible.
Needless to say, people have already prepared everything, so what are you waiting for?
That's it!
For the next 2 full days, the fleet and the warriors who guarded the embankment cooperated tacitly, day and night, and finally, after sinking a full 4 ships, the breach was finally sealed to less than 2 The width of meters was about to close, and victory was in sight, but at this moment, another fleet came on the river.
It was still the fleet of "China Harbour Engineering Co., Ltd.", but this time, the fleet sent dozens of huge machinery instead of building materials—with a diameter of 1.6 meters and a drainage capacity of 20,000 m3 each. There are huge water pumps per hour, there are high-power diesel engines that drive these pumps, and of course there is also a full ship of diesel; there are excavators, stone crushers, road rollers, pile drivers, and even earth-moving vehicles are not lacking, and it is even more impressive Surprisingly, it was not only the machinery that came, but also the people who operated these machinery. Hundreds of experienced masters also arrived with these construction machinery. They were instructed to stop the breach after being blocked. , Immediately start the work of strengthening the dam, and be sure to build the newly built dam into cast iron!
At this time, Dong Wanrui could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He knew that although the battle was not over yet, victory was already in sight. With the aid of these machines, these people, and these materials, the floods in the Yangtze River were extremely fierce. Eventually, he will be obediently bound in the river, Jiujiang City will be kept, and the entire Jianghan Plain will be kept.
But when he was finally able to relax a bit, a question also came to his mind-"Huaxia Harbour Engineering Co., Ltd." how can it so skillfully bring the most urgently needed supplies and appear at the time when they are most needed And the location, and only 2 days later, so many machinery and personnel were sent again?
You know, dispatching and assembling these personnel and materials requires a huge investment of money and manpower, and also requires a strong organization and mobilization ability to do it. But at the most dangerous time of the Jiujiang Dike, they appeared just right. This is definitely not a coincidence, it is only possible that someone had anticipated everything that might happen here and deliberately prepared it!
He found the person in charge of "Huaxia Harbor Engineering Co., Ltd." at the scene and quickly learned the answer-everything here is prepared for the construction of Huangyan Island, including building materials, machinery, personnel and ships engaged in inland waterway transportation The original destination of these materials was Yangshan Port of Magic City. They were supposed to be transported by Shanghai ships to Huangyan Island. However, after learning about the catastrophic floods in the Yangtze River, Mr. Tan immediately changed his plan and asked them to All these materials and personnel were transported to Jiujiang, and they were all greeted in advance. As long as they are needed to fight floods, the materials on these ships, including the ship itself, are within the scope of being requisitioned, and all losses are his.
Dong Wanrui noticed that in the process of telling the ins and outs of the incident, the person in charge showed a kind of respect from the heart of the "President Tan" who did not show up. After listening to him, Dong Wanrui also believed that, That "President Tan" is indeed worthy of this respect.
Because Dong Wanrui knows very clearly who the "President Tan" is-in today's China, with the further deepening and development of the reopening business, various economies continue to emerge, leading to the trend that the term "general" has gradually spread. , But the name "Mr. Tan" is an exclusive term that belongs to a certain person. In the usual sense, people say "Mr. Tan" refers to the legendary person, but that person doesn't seem to like this name very much. I prefer people to call him "Dr. Tan."
