Chapter 385 Flood Fighting and Disaster Relief [Updated before 0:[-]...

Yongliang City suffered a once-in-a-century flood disaster, which attracted great attention from the provincial party committee and the provincial government.

The entire province is required to concentrate its efforts to support the people of Yongliang in fighting floods and providing disaster relief.

The Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government reported the disaster situation in Yongliang City to the National Drought Prevention and Drought Relief Headquarters.

National leaders attached great importance to it and gave personal instructions.

A deputy commander-in-chief of the National Defense Administration visited Yongliang City in person to direct flood fighting and disaster relief work.

The country and province allocated a large amount of disaster relief materials to the people of Yongliang to help them tide over the difficulties.

This flood is the biggest test Zhou Haiyang has faced since he took office.

In the face of a major disaster, ensuring that no one is killed, ensuring social stability, and minimizing losses are issues that Zhou Haiyang has been thinking about.

As the supreme leader of Yongliang City, he takes the lead and appears wherever there is danger.

When the news that three towns in Zhangping County were flooded reached Zhou Haiyang's ears, he immediately jumped up from the sofa nervously and asked Secretary-General Gao of the Municipal Party Committee: "Are there any dead? How is the situation now?"

Secretary-General Gao said: “Due to the early evacuation, most of the people had already evacuated to the embankment on higher ground.

If there are still people, some who were too late to evacuate and some old people who were not vigilant may still be trapped in the water. "

"What's possible? I want an accurate answer." Zhou Haisheng said, "Well, please contact me immediately, Comrade Wu Yunhua, commander of the military division, to see how many helicopters there are in the military division.

Give them all to me, and immediately prepare to fly directly to the disaster area to rescue the people. "

Secretary-General Gao agreed, and soon got through Wu Yunhua's phone number, and quickly handed the phone to Zhou Haiyang.

Zhou Haiyang picked up the phone and said immediately: "Commander Wu? I am Zhou Haiyang. The situation is extremely urgent!

Three towns in Zhangping County suddenly flooded, and it is still unclear how many people were trapped.

The fastest solution at present is to quickly dispatch helicopters to search and rescue the trapped people and quickly evacuate them to safe areas.How many planes do you have on hand? "

Wu Yunhua said: "I have three here, and there are two more at the Air Force Radar Station, but they are not under my direct command. They belong to an Air Force base station in Yongliang, and the provincial military region needs to coordinate."

Zhou Haiyang said: "I'm afraid it's too late. It's now twelve o'clock in the evening, and we have to rush to Taolin Town before dawn at the latest to direct the rescue work on the spot.

Let's do this, you prepare those three first, and we'll meet up in half an hour.

All those who can take off should take off first, get there first, and gain time.

Now every minute of hesitation will directly endanger people's lives. If we arrive a minute earlier, the people will be saved a minute earlier.

Is it okay to take off in half an hour? "

Wu Yunhua said: "It's probably no problem."

"Okay, get ready. I'll be there in a minute." Zhou Haiyang put down the phone and immediately ordered Secretary-General Gao: "Hurry up and contact the base station director of the Air Force. I will speak to him directly."

After a while, the call to the air force base station was connected.

As soon as the other party heard that it was Zhou Haiyang, he quickly said hello: "Hello, Secretary Zhou."

Zhou Haiyang asked Secretary-General Gao in advance and found out the name of the webmaster, Yao Zhiyi.

He immediately said affectionately: "Stationmaster Yao? I have something urgent to trouble you! It's urgent and I hope to get helicopter support from your air force."

Seeing that the other party did not reply immediately, Zhou Haiyang continued: "Three towns in Zhangping County are flooded. How many people are trapped? It is still unclear.

In order to save people's lives as much as possible, in the name of the first political commissar of the Yongliang Military Division, I request your air force to immediately dispatch to support the disaster area. "

Station Commander Yao couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "Generally speaking, taking off requires approval from superiors.

But this time the situation was urgent, so I had no choice but to act first and later.

With a word from Secretary Zhou, the Air Force base station will fully cooperate. "

"Okay! Happy, stationmaster Yao, brother Yao, first of all, on behalf of the 900 million people of Yongliang, I would like to thank you, and thank you Zidibing for your timely assistance.

After the mission is over, I will, in the name of the Yongliang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, request the Air Force to award you with an award for your meritorious service. Zhou Haiyang said excitedly.

Stationmaster Yao then asked: "Secretary Zhou, when will the flight take off? Where will we assemble?"

Zhou Haiyang said: "It's best to take off in half an hour and rush to Zhanglin Town overnight, where we can meet and discuss solutions.

Start the rescue at dawn so as not to waste time. "

Stationmaster Yao agreed and went to get ready.

Half an hour later, the plane carrying Zhou Haiyang and the People's Liberation Army rescue personnel took off from Yongliang and flew to Zhanglin Town overnight.

After the plane landed, the local leaders who came up immediately reported the situation.

After Zhou Haiyang listened, he discussed the search and rescue plan with everyone and requested that it be implemented as soon as dawn.

Later, Zhou Haiyang came to the embankment to visit the farmers who had evacuated here.

Seeing the bustling crowds on the entire embankment, the lights brightly lit, and the flood under the embankment shrouded in quiet night, Zhou Haiyang couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

Fortunately, the floodwaters rose slowly.

If the levee suddenly bursts, I don’t know how many people will be buried in the belly of the fish this time.

It was a sleepless night, and Zhou Haiyang had no sleepiness at all.

He kept shaking hands with everyone, making daily routines, asking about welfare, and checking on the lives of the victims.

When everyone saw that the secretary of the municipal party committee was here and was with everyone, they felt at ease, and the mood suddenly cheered up.The whole embankment was full of noise.

As soon as it got light, Zhou Haiyang and Wu Yunhua got on the plane.

Looking around, I saw an endless yellow flood with a lot of garbage floating on it. Dead pigs and sheep were everywhere.

On the exposed roofs in twos and threes, people stood there from time to time, waving their hands or clothes, asking for rescue.

Zhou Haiyang immediately ordered random soldiers to launch a rescue.

Assault boats shuttle back and forth on the lake.

People's Liberation Army soldiers wearing yellow life jackets moved separately, not sparing any house or tree.

Every effort was made to ensure that no trapped people would be rescued.

The entire rescue operation lasted all day.

When summarizing in the evening, Zhou Haiyang saw that a total of more than 1500 people from the People's Liberation Army, the Armed Police Force, and the Public Security Police were dispatched to rescue more than 60 trapped people, including five aircraft and 800 assault boats, ensuring that no one was injured or killed.

This is a big victory in fighting this disaster.

Liangshui River is the largest river flowing through Yongliang City.

During the flood season, the Liangshui River has changed from its usual calmness. Now it is flooded with turbulent waves. The water level exceeds the highest level in history by more than one meter, and there is a danger of bursting its banks at any time.

If the embankment breaks in one day, the entire Tianshui District and Zhangping County downstream will be buried in the belly of the fish.

The entire industry, commerce, and service industries in Yongliang City will be completely destroyed, and the losses will be incalculable.

For this reason, Zhou Haiyang demanded that the levee on the south bank of the Liangshui River should be protected at all costs to protect Tianshui District and Zhangping County.

All cadres and citizens in the city were mobilized, and everyone who could go up the embankment went up.

The Provincial Military Region also dispatched more than 2000 People's Liberation Army troops to support Yongliang City's flood relief efforts.

This month, Zhou Haiyang barely had a good night's sleep.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, he also took the leaders of relevant departments to patrol the Liangshui River embankment in person, wearing raincoats and flashlights.

Seeing the secretary of the municipal party committee working like this every day, all the People's Liberation Army, cadres and people participating in the war were very excited.

We all worked so hard to ensure that the embankment was safe and sound.

After a month of work, the flood finally receded.

Then came the rapid resumption of production and the construction of new homes.

Zhou Haiyang went to the province many times to report the disaster situation in Yongliang to leaders and strive for more relief funds and supplies.This flood caused a loss of no less than 20 billion yuan to the industrial and agricultural production of Yongliang City, and many farmers' families were almost bankrupt.

Fortunately, the country quickly allocated more than one billion in disaster relief funds to build new homes for farmers.

After the disaster, Zhou Haiyang asked all local departments to quickly organize farmers to carry out production and self-rescue work.

They rush to plant autumn crops, mobilize farmers to go out to work, and do everything possible to increase their income, ensuring social stability in Yongliang City.

After working hard for a few more months, let’s see how the life of the people in Zhanglin Town is going at the end of the year.

Zhou Haiyang wanted to see it for himself and understand the real situation.
