Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 947 - 632: Monumental Achievement! (Part 2)

Battalion Commander Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and asked, "Report the situation for each platoon; is everyone up?"

"Seventh platoon is all up."

"Eighth platoon is up!"

"Report to the company commander, our platoon still has two people."

"Hurry up."

"Yes!"

Han Yu looked over and saw two warriors climbing up with the help of their comrades on the levee. He quickly turned around and shouted, "Master Yan, Master Yan, you're responsible for your people. Quickly count the number of people and report immediately after counting."

"Got it, right away." Master Yan put down the walkie-talkie and hurried to find the civilian soldiers who had helped him deal with the piping danger in the morning.

"Director Ge, Director Ge, this is Han Yu. Please assist County Magistrate Huang in counting the number of people participating in the rescue operation, make sure not to miss anyone!"

"Okay."

"Wait, I just saw a group of kids playing down by the levee, quickly organize the crowd to find the children!"

"There are children, okay, okay, I'm on it."

"Director Gu, Director Gu, this is Han Yu. The dangerous levee is about to breach, the water flow will change greatly, please ensure the safety of the vessels."

"Understood, received!"

"Master Dai, Master Dai, respond when received."

"Received, received, Secretary Han, please go ahead."

"Immediately organize the Inspection Team to guard the junction of the dangerous levee, the new levee, and the east and west sides of the dry levee. No one is allowed to run up the risky levee to watch the excitement."

"Yes!"

A series of orders were given, and the rescue site was not as chaotic as when the alarm first sounded. The officers, soldiers, civilians, and engineering machinery were orderly withdrawing.

The next task was to protect the new levee, but Han Yu did not dare to issue orders now, as it might easily cause chaos. So, he simply put down the loudspeaker and walkie-talkie, and looked at the dangerous levee ahead.

Perhaps it was a bit far away, nothing abnormal could be seen.

It wasn't until Deputy Mayor Shen, panting, ran to his side, suddenly discovering a muffled booming sound coming from the risky levee. About a five-meter-long section of the levee had collapsed just like that.

Following that, the murky river water poured in from the breach, in the blink of an eye rushing to the front!

The semicircular large water pond originally had a water level of over four meters. Whether there was water or not in the pond made a complete difference, and the floodwater rushing into the new levee did not splash much.

The water level was rapidly rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. The breach, which was only about five meters wide before, was also visibly expanding, and the dry levee on both sides of the breach kept collapsing as the flood poured in.

Master Xu also arrived, staring intently at the constantly expanding breach, muttering, "Nine meters, ten meters, eleven meters, thirteen meters, fifteen meters, sixteen meters, eighteen meters..."

Han Yu's heart was pounding in fear, and he murmured to himself, "Hold steady, hold steady, it can't collapse any further."

The new levee was a total of sixty meters long, but that was just the arc length of the large water pond.

In other words, the new levee only surrounded about thirty meters of dry levee.

If it collapsed beyond the protective range of the new levee, everything done before would be in vain.

Han Yu watched the breach extending to both sides with deep regret, blaming himself for not building an additional fifty or sixty meters on both sides of the dangerous levee. Master Xu shouted with delight, "Twenty meters, the collapse is not as fast as before. Secretary Han, Mayor Shen, look, the water is full, it has stopped, it's not collapsing anymore!"

Deputy Mayor Shen also watched with his heart in his throat, nervously asking, "Salted Fish, what should we do now?"

Han Yu didn't answer, nor could he spare the time to answer his question. He turned around to check the evacuation situation, then raised the walkie-talkie, "All groups, take note, all groups take note, once up the levee, follow the plan made an hour ago to protect in groups and separately!"

"Group one received."

"Group two received!"

"Group three understood!"

...

Group one is responsible for staking on the water, and group two is responsible for throwing stones and sandbags to protect the slope, ensuring that the remaining ten meters of the dry levee do not collapse further.

Group three is responsible for protecting the upper part of the new levee where the sandbag wall wasn't built in time using geotextile. They need to drag the geotextile into the water to cover it securely, then throw sandbags on top to hold it down.

Just like during the rescue operation at the Old Temple Gate, this task can only be carried out by the Party Member Assault Team.

In short, although the front dry levee breached, the Linghai Reserve Camp did not fall into disorder.

With personnel and equipment withdrawn to safe areas, the work of protecting the new levee proceeded in an orderly manner.

At 2:56, the No. 1 excavator and No. 1 loader boarded the ferry, which then slowly headed toward the breach. To ensure the ferry didn't hit the dry levee, two tugboats simultaneously held it at the back.

A five-hundred-ton cargo ship carrying over four hundred stakes closely followed.

Han Yu's heart was pounding nervously as he stood on the dry levee, holding the walkie-talkie and repeatedly reminding, "Director Gu, the two small sections of dry levee in the water are almost like paper. You must hold steady, approach slowly, do not speed up, slow down, and slow down again! Yes, yes, just like that."

"Anchor can be dropped now, Master Zhou, be gentle when piling, be gentle!"

"Yes, yes, yes, just like that, keep going."

"Director Gu, can you also drop the stones gently? It can't withstand being smashed, if it collapses we're finished."

The personnel working on the ship found it somewhat annoying, but understood his feelings at that moment.

Gu Pengfei raised the walkie-talkie, half laughing and half crying, and asked, "Secretary Han, those stones weigh tons, how do you want me to be gentle?"

"Then first throw the smaller ones."

"Alright, throw the smaller ones first."

Han Yu also realized he couldn't keep nagging people, so holding the walkie-talkie, he turned back and asked, "President Hao, President Hao, how's it going over there?"

Hao Qiusheng replied, "The geotextile is secured, I'm planning to let the No. 2 excavator and the dump truck go down to continue reinforcing the new levee."

"Don't rush, wait for Masters Xu, Sun, and Yao to confirm whether the new levee can hold before going down."
