Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 909 - 610: "Not Too Serious

At 3:48 PM, the Jingzhou Flood Control Command, through a Guangzhou Military Region commander stationed in Jingzhou to support flood resistance, bypassed the 105th Army and 404th Division to issue the first order directly to the Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Camp.

The order required the Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Camp's shore construction crew to immediately proceed to a cracked and severely leaking sluice gate in Tong River upon arrival in Jingzhou to execute rescue tasks!

While providing specific location and contacts, it was emphasized that since it was difficult for convoys of transferred personnel and equipment to pass through roads and bridges along the route, the Beihu Province Military District had requested the Jingzhou Flood Control Command to order a Boat Bridge Group to break through mountains and build bridges over water for the Binjiang Reserve Camp!

Meanwhile, the Changhang Bureau also issued respective orders to Huang Yuanchang far away in Binjiang and Director Yang currently in Jingzhou.

The order instructed Huang Yuanchang to immediately communicate and coordinate with the Binjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, as well as the Binjiang Port Authority, to see if the port authority's six large flatbed trucks could support in Jingjiang for seven days, until the Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Camp's logistical support fleet arrived before returning.

Director Yang had more work to do.

To maximize the effectiveness of the Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Camp's mechanized rescue force, Director Yang was required, while requisitioning ships and captains and crew, to quickly select a location that was relatively secluded, convenient for soil extraction, and allowed for heavy equipment to board the ship, to serve as the shore departure base for the Binjiang Reserve Camp.

It's necessary to organize forces to build a temporary pier at the "departure base" for equipment and personnel to board or disembark at any time.

Considering the limited strength of several units in the Changhang System, Jingzhou City had arranged for a vice mayor to be specifically responsible for this work. However, local leaders were not very knowledgeable about these matters, so the construction of the temporary pier was to be led primarily by the Changhang System.

It is evident, therefore, that the Jingzhou Flood Control Command was executing a dual strategy.

Both enabling the Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Camp to maneuver on land and also allowing the Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Camp to transfer on water according to rescue needs.

The heads of the military region directly issued orders to the Linghai Reserve Camp, and whether or not to report to the captain no longer mattered...

Master Dai chose not to look for public phones anymore, thinking as long as he does his job well to ensure that this amphibious construction team disguised as the reserve forces does not violate military discipline, and especially does not violate civilian discipline.

At 5:21 PM, Vice Camp Commander Hao Qiusheng of Linghai Reserve Camp and several rescue construction personnel arrived.

Master Yao and the comrades from the Changhang Security Group briefly introduced the situation, and Hao Qiusheng, not bothering with dinner, once again got into the off-road vehicle. Led by a police car from the Changhang Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, they hurriedly headed to the cracked and severely leaking sluice gate in Tong River.

Master Dai dared not wait in the urban area, and together with Master Xu, got into the police car to pave the way for Hao Qiusheng and others.

The journey was smooth without obstacles, and when they drove to about eight kilometers away from the sluice gate, they saw nearly a hundred soldiers of the Army Boat Bridge Unit busily building a bridge.

Hao Qiusheng used the walkie-talkie to signal the police car to stop.

As soon as Master Dai and Master Xu got out of the car, they saw Hao Qiusheng jump out of the off-road vehicle and walk up to ask, "Comrade, who's in charge here?"

"Me, which unit are you from?"

"I'm Vice Camp Commander Hao Qiusheng from the Linghai Reserve Camp, the bridge you're building is for our camp to cross."

Hao Qiusheng raised his hand for a salute, neither humble nor arrogant.

Standing tall and proud, he saluted very well, it was clear he'd served in the military.

His attire was a bit odd though, wearing a camouflage helmet which at first glance seemed like but wasn't quite like those of the Hong Kong Garrison.

The walkie-talkie didn't look cheap, it was a Motorola.

The walkie-talkie was wrapped in a waterproof transparent covering, beside it was a mobile phone also encased in transparent plastic.

And the walkie-talkie and phone were not hand-held, nor clipped on the waist, nor placed in a pocket, nor hung on a shoulder, but strapped to his chest with a belt. The several reserve officers from the military vehicle behind were similarly equipped, looking quite odd.

The Major from the Boat Bridge troops had never seen reserve forces like this, returned the salute with a raised hand: "Vice Camp Commander Hao, when will your convoy arrive?"

"Around 3:30 AM tomorrow morning it should get here."

"Wasn't it around 6:00 AM tomorrow?"

"I just contacted our camp commander, he said starting from 3:30 PM, police escorts have been arranged in all counties and cities along the way, no need to stop for directions, no worries about getting lost, or even having to wait for traffic lights."

"3:30 it is, we'll rush to finish, we should be on time."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank, this bridge is almost done, do you want to inspect?"

"Yes."

"Please go ahead."

The idea of getting a group to build a road and bridge for a reserve camp was ridiculous, but it hinted that this reserve camp was not simple.

While leading Hao Qiusheng onto the bridge, the Major smiled, "Vice Camp Commander Hao, you must have served in the military. By your age, you might even be my old platoon leader."

"I was with the Standard Camp, retired eight years ago."

"I knew it, you are an old platoon leader. Old platoon leader, take a look, how's this bridge we built?"

Hao Qiusheng leaned over to look beneath the bridge, turned around and signaled the active-duty soldiers like Tang Huagao to drive the off-road vehicle onto it. He confirmed the bridge was very stable, barely feeling any swaying, and asked, "Can it hold a thirty-ton truck?"

"It can hold a tank, no problem."

"Thank you very much."

"No need for thanks, you're also carrying out a mission." The Major raised his arm, pointing south: "Old platoon leader, there are five more bridges ahead, would you like me to accompany you for inspection?"
