At this moment, everyone was shocked. Wei Lan, the host of Hongjiang Satellite TV and the news center, was watching this scene at this moment. However, there was a little crystal clear in her eyes.

He said to the camera next to him: "Lao Xu, fast, wide-angle lens, aim at the crowd and scanned it."

As a journalist, and an outstanding representative, Wei Lan's ability to catch news is not ordinary. At this time, if this kind of picture is played on the next Hongjiang News Broadcast, it will definitely be a good material that infects people's hearts and boosts morale.

As he said that, Wei Lan quickly prepared, holding the microphone, standing on the side of the camera, and said to the camera: "Today, Comrade Nie Zhenbang, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, arrived in Lushan City to inspect and guide Lushan's flood control and disaster relief work. Secretary Nie did not stop in Lushan City and drove directly to the line of the embankment. Standing on the embankment, on our left side, there was a rolling flood. After listening to the reports of relevant comrades in Lushan City in detail, Secretary Nie immediately pointed out that the Lushan embankment is related to the lives and property of the 50 million people in Hongjiang Province. Lushan City must work together and do its best to ensure the safety of the Lushan embankment and ensure the safety of the people in the province."

...

At around 7:30 pm, nearly 7,000 people from the First Garage Brigade of the Yuezhou Military Region arrived at the Lushan Dike.

Brigade commander Zeng Xinhua and brigade political commissar Huang Xinguo also walked into the tent where Nie Zhenbang was.

At this moment, everyone in the tent had a serious expression. Nie Zhenbang's eyes swept through Xia Hong's body, followed by Zeng Xinhua and Huang Xinguo. Liu Junwei was not here at this moment. Of course, Nie Zhenbang personally visited the Lushan embankment to direct flood control and rescue work, but the embankment was so long that it was impossible for all the members of the Standing Committee to accompany him here.

Looking around everyone, Nie Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "Comrades, according to the news from the National Meteorological Observatory and the Provincial Meteorological Observatory, there will be heavy rainstorms tonight in Lushan City and surrounding Jingshan City. The situation is not optimistic."

In one sentence, Xia Hong, Zeng Xinhua and others frowned. Heavy rain? This will bring huge difficulties to rescue.

It is a trivial matter for the continuous rise of water levels. It is just a heavy rain, and the rise in water levels will not be so immediate. The most important thing is still a matter of action.

Under heavy rain, sight and contact are a huge challenge. This is the thing that affects rescue efforts the most.

After pondering for a while, Nie Zhenbang looked at Zeng Xinhua and said, "Brig Commander Zeng, Political Commissar Huang, this time, I may have to trouble you. The garrison brigade, this time, will undertake a heavy task."

At this time, Zeng Xinhua and Huang Xinguo looked at each other, and Zeng Xinhua saluted: "Secretary Nie, you can issue a mission. The garrison brigade will definitely burn its boats and go all out."

Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, "Okay. Brigade Commander Zeng, this time, 7,000 officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade will undertake the most dangerous rescue task of the Lushan embankment. This section of Heishu Town is the most dangerous section of the entire Lushan embankment. Your people will evenly command the five-kilometer dam, with an average of 100 meters, about 130 people."

After Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, Zeng Xinhua's feet were combined with a standard military salute and said, "Secretary Nie, please ensure that the task is completed."

As soon as he walked out of the tent, Zeng Xinhua shouted: "Communication! Correspondent!"

When the correspondents came up, Zeng Xinhua ordered: "Tell me the order, use the company as the unit, and the position I am currently in. Follow the embankment and evenly command to participate in flood control and rescue work."

As time goes by, the sky gradually begins to dim. The entire embankment has already lit up and stretched down. At about fifty meters away, a rainproof lamp is installed. In this night, it is like a long dragon, looking endlessly.

In the sky, the raindrops gradually increased. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang also walked out of the tent. Looking at the flood rolling outside the dike, Nie Zhenbang frowned and said in a deep voice: "How much has the water level risen from the afternoon to now?"

Xia Hong, who was accompanying him, immediately replied: "It has risen by about fifty centimeters. From 9 o'clock in the evening, the water level has risen faster. It seems that the upstream flood peak has begun to fall. The flood is already discharged in Chunan Province."

Nie Zhenbang did not speak, which was inevitable. The flood peak rolled from above. When passing through Chunan, there would be a buffer, but the force would not be too strong. The most important place was on the Hongjiang side. After the flood passed the Lushan embankment, as the water surface increased, then, after the dispatch of Hongyang Lake on Lushan side, the pressure would not be so great.

The flood prevention in Hongjiang is not only related to Hongjiang Province, but at this time, it is already related to the overall flood prevention situation in the country.

This is like the flood in the 1990s. Back then, Chunan Province and Hongjiang Province made considerable sacrifices to preserve economically developed areas.

At this moment, we will face this situation again. The stability of the Lushan embankment is directly related to the disaster in Hongjiang Province. After pondering for a while, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, "Comrade Xia Hong. Comrade Xia Hong, communicate it and increase the patrol efforts in the embankment. There should be no blind spots. As long as we survive tonight, our situation will be much better."

As Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, suddenly, about two hundred meters away from Nie Zhenbang and others, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, come on, soak in the spring. A large area of ​​soaking spring."

Immediately afterwards, the harsh sound of the gong had already started, ding! ding! ding! ding! The sound was very rapid. In this quiet late night, apart from the sound of waves slapping on the embankment, this sound cut through the night sky.

Soon, everyone around moved. On this side, Nie Zhenbang's face changed and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go, come quickly."

The heavy rain poured down, and beside Nie Zhenbang, Hong Feng was carrying an umbrella and ran with Nie Zhenbang. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang no longer cared whether he was in the rain and ran towards him faster.

After all, Hong Feng was not very physically strong, so he said to Dai Fei next to him: "Xiao Dai, hurry up, follow me quickly, be sure to ensure the safety of Secretary Nie."

Nie Zhenbang arrived here. At this moment, many people had gathered in the dike. Many people had spontaneously moved. The woven bags surrounded the area where a large area of ​​pipe rush occurred. At the same time, sand and stones were spread over the pipe rush area. This was an emergency rescue measure.

At this time, someone shouted in horror on the embankment: "No, the embankment shows signs of sinking. Look, the water surface has already flowed over."

Nie Zhenbang turned his head and saw that it was obvious that the water level had not reached the embankment at this moment, but, here, it was clear that there was a arc. At the lowest point, the water level was level with the embankment.

His face darkened, and Nie Zhenbang said, "Hurry, pile up sandbags."

The sinking of the embankment must be related to the large-scale pipe surge. The large-scale pipe surge carries a sufficient amount of mud and sand, causing the geology of the embankment to be soft and it will definitely not be able to withstand such a huge flood pressure. At this time, sandbags need to be piled up on this embankment, which on the one hand gives heavy pressure. In addition, it also prevents the flood from flooding over the embankment.

On this side, the soldiers from the garrison brigade moved. The soldiers from the local garrison troops in Hongjiang Province moved, the officers and soldiers of the armed police moved, and the masses also moved.

On the embankment, along this area where danger occurred, it extends to both sides. A large number of sandbags are piled up on the edge of the embankment.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Nie Zhenbang turned his head and said, "Comrade Xia Hong, look, do you need to nail down the wooden stake?"

Nailing wooden stakes means using big trees as thick as bowls, hammering them into the embankment with a hammer, and then pile up sandbags on it. In this way, it can increase the embankment's ability to withstand the embankment.

Although Nie Zhenbang has experienced this kind of rescue, he has not been exposed to such rescue operations for a long time. At this time, he still needs to ask more experienced people.

Xia Hong is obviously a good choice. Xia Hong has always worked in Lushan City and is very familiar with flood fighting and rescue.

Xia Hong looked at it and then said, "It's better to nail it. At this time, the first wave of flood peaks has not yet arrived. At that time, the pressure on the dam will be greater."

The entire rescue continued until late at night. After 11 o'clock, people on the embankment were nervously looking at the flood outside the embankment, with messy debris inside, and even a lot of wood could be seen.

This is the most tense time, and the first wave of flood peaks is often the most dangerous. After passing this pass, the flood control pressure of Lushan Dike and even the entire Hongjiang will be greatly reduced.

Next to him, Secretary Hong Feng greeted him and whispered in Nie Zhenbang's ear: "Secretary, the news from the National Flood Control Headquarters, now the flow of the Yangtze River has reached a highest peak. Next, it is estimated that floods will flow back into Hongyang Lake. Our pressure is coming. In addition, the Secretary-General also sent news from Jingshan City that the situation in Jingshan City is normal at present."

Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang nodded. It was okay in Jingshan City, and this was indeed good news.

At this time, the water level of the Lushan embankment had risen significantly, and the first wave of flood peaks was not a joke. At this moment, the water level along the entire embankment had risen by about 1.5 meters.

Originally, the water level was still fifty centimeters away from the horizontal surface of the embankment, but now, sandbags more than one meter high have been added to the embankment.

At two o'clock in the morning, at this time, the staff of the Lushan Water Resources Bureau finally heard good news. According to the current and ten minutes ago, the water level rose by less than three centimeters in these ten minutes. This shows that the first wave of flood peak has been blocked.

When everyone heard this news, including Nie Zhenbang, breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Hong also seemed very excited.
Chapter completed!
