A few days ago, a record-breaking flood peak passed through Shewan Lianwei. The touching story of Hu Jiangbao, a retired veteran from Shetang Village, Raobu Town, Poyang County, who fought against floods and rescued people, was still circulated in Shewan Lianwei. The thrilling stories at that time were It still makes people feel heart palpitated .
"The flood situation is currently quite dangerous, and manpower support is urgently needed. Manpower support is urgently needed..." At about 5 pm on June 21, Hu Jiangbao, who was having dinner at home, heard this emergency notice repeatedly played on the village radio, and his heart was suddenly pulled. Hanging up. Before the meal was finished, I put down the bowl and immediately ran towards the dike.
According to the early warning of the water conservancy department, at 8 o'clock that night, the unprecedented flood peak will pass through the Raobu Town section of Shewan Lianwei Poyang County. The double superposition of danger and water conditions will seriously threaten the 64,000 acres of cultivated land and 64,000 acres of cultivated land protected in this section of the embankment. The lives and property of tens of thousands of people are safe. At this time, leakage occurred in the culvert pipe joints of the Jiujia Irrigation Station dike in Shetang, Shetang Village, Lianwei, Shewan, and there were many large muddy seepage points under the dike in the dike. Hu Jiangbao, who has many years of experience in fighting floods, immediately started shoveling rocks and filling bags with other villagers as soon as he stepped onto the dike. Under the guidance of leaders and technicians, he set up anti-filtration wells on the inner slope to deal with dangerous situations.
One place, two places, three places... The danger of concentrated leakage emerged and developed quickly, and holes occurred in the embankment body. The leaders and experts present immediately adjusted the plan according to the situation. The commanding personnel filled the soil outside the polder and launched water on the water surface outside the polder to find leaks and block the water inlet. At that time, the water surface was turbid and the current was getting faster and faster. It took a long time for the two rescuers who jumped down to find the specific location of the hole in the embankment, and they were almost washed away by the flood.
"As time went by and the danger worsened, the amount of water flowing out of the hole at the foot of the embankment became larger and larger. At that time, a large whirlpool suddenly appeared on the water surface, and it felt like a cow could be sucked into it." Hu Jiangbao recalled the scene at that time Still have lingering fears. If it is not blocked in time, it may lead to the risk of embankment collapse. After confirming the position, Hu Jiangbao took off his clothes, tied on the safety rope, and jumped straight into the center of the whirlpool while holding the quilt. As soon as he got down, he could clearly feel a suction force under his feet pulling him down, and there seemed to be an underwater undercurrent. Hu Jiangbao immediately stepped on the quilt with his feet to block the water outlet. Just when everyone was breathing a little sigh of relief, two polder landslides nearly three to four meters deep suddenly occurred in the embankment. "Hurry up and retreat!" the people on the shore shouted to Hu Jiangbaoji. Hu Jiangbao knew clearly that once he left and the quilt floated, the danger would only intensify and the dike would be in danger of collapse.
In the rainy night, the intertwining of sweat and rain blurred Hu Jiangbao's eyes, but no matter how tired he was, he always gritted his teeth and persisted in the flood like a "mainstay", and with the help of others, he continued to collect bags of pebbles. Press the quilt under your feet. It was not until the quilt was compacted and the water inlet was completely blocked that we withdrew from the torrent.
Hu Jiangbao, who had been soaked in floods for a long time, was covered in mud and water when he came ashore. He was shivering from the cold and his hands and feet were swollen. When he saw that the danger had been eliminated and everyone on the embankment was rushing to transport sandbags to strengthen the embankment, he felt extremely uncomfortable and quietly asked for leave from the village party branch secretary to go home.
Hu Jiangbao, who is in frail health, has been suffering from a high fever since he returned home. His family members are still worried about his behavior of rushing to rescue regardless of his physical condition. The youngest son of the family is still in college. As the mainstay of the family, Hu Jiangbao is the mainstay of the family. If an accident happens, it will be very harmful to their small family. Said it would be a disaster. The family always feels sad when they think back to it, but Hu Jiangbao said that only when the dike is saved can the family be saved.
"Leave the small house behind and take care of everyone." At the critical moment of flood prevention, Hu Jiangbao used practical actions to interpret the selfless and fearless spirit and style of a retired soldier who cares about the masses. (Wu Bei Yan Li)
