"There will be another heavy rain at noon tomorrow."
Zhang Guangsheng was shocked. "How long will this heavy rain last?"
"In about two hours, the rainfall was about 110 millimeters."
The heavy rainfall reached 110 mm within two hours, which is quite intense. After hearing this, Zhang Guangsheng couldn't help but frowned again.
"Lao Zhang, the pontoon bridge troops of the engineering corps have arrived. It is expected that the floating bridge can be built by two o'clock in the morning. At that time, emergency rescue supplies can be transported in continuously." said the commander of the provincial military region.
Zhang Guangsheng nodded and then asked, "Has Comrade Li Fuping's body been found?"
"Not yet. The water downstream has just receded. There are still more than two hours of flood discharge tomorrow, so Shuangyang City is still a deserted city for the time being."
"No matter what, we must find Comrade Li Fuping's body." Zhang Guangsheng said with his fists clenched tightly.
"Comrade Li Fuping is our good comrade, we will do it at all costs."
"The outstanding deeds of the martyrs who died in this flood relief effort must be reported well, and the aftermath work must also be done well. We must not let the families of the martyrs down." Zhang Guangsheng said with a choked voice as he looked at the staff in the tent.
Everyone nodded, picked up their pens and wrote it down solemnly in their work notebooks.
…
Yuan Fangguo had no regrets at all about driving his twenty brand-new trucks into the dam. What he was really worried about was the safety of his second brother and his comrades. When he learned that squad leader Li Fuping had died, he was grieved for a long time.
"No way."
"Absolutely not."
…
He couldn't even believe it, and opened his mouth in shock for a long time before he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Although the danger of the dam has been temporarily controlled and all the sandbags have been filled into the pipe burst, there will be a heavy rain tomorrow. When Yuan Fangtai and his team learned that the engineering corps' pontoon bridge construction will be completed in the early morning, Yuan Fangtai promptly informed his eldest brother of the news.
Yuan Fangguo had no intention of staying here any longer. Firstly, they could not help much, and secondly, they would have to consume the already limited food.
He told his second brother that they left in the early morning.
I wanted to call the Rongcheng company to send a vehicle, but when I took out my cell phone, there was no signal at all.
It was already midnight, and since the pontoon bridge would not be completed for more than two hours, Yuan Fangguo and more than 30 employees decided to rush to the dam.
At three o'clock in the morning, they dragged their tired bodies back to the other side through the pontoon bridge.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the dam's flood discharge was opened again and lasted until twelve o'clock in the afternoon. The water level dropped by about two meters again.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, heavy rain hit again. With the previous flood discharge, although it was a heavy rainfall of 110 mm, the impact on the dam was not very large.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the heavy rain stopped and the sky cleared.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, flood water was released again.
The flood discharge lasted for three full days until another convoy loaded with supplies and equipment from Yuan Fangguo's company arrived, and then it stopped.
The company delivered mineral water, instant noodles, bread, disinfectant and other supplies to the disaster area, which greatly alleviated the disaster situation.
After distributing this batch of relief supplies, Yuan Fangguo led the convoy quietly towards Port L.
On the third day after the flood discharge, citizens returned to the city one after another.
Comrade Li Fuping's body was also found in the city center square.
Upon hearing the news, the regiment chief of staff drove over personally. Looking at the swollen body of Comrade Li Fuping, he couldn't help but burst into tears again.
The day after the citizens returned home, thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of citizens spontaneously began to clean up the city.
Except for some small projects destroyed by floods, everything else in Shuangyang City was safe and sound.
A week later, the troops returned home with honor. Countless Shuangyang citizens lined the roadsides to see them off. Cigarettes, snacks, and eggs were thrown to these most lovely people of the new era.
Three days later, a memorial service for the martyrs who died in the flood relief efforts was held at the city funeral home. More than 200,000 citizens spontaneously wore white flowers and formed two dense human walls on the main roads of Chengdu.
On July 31, a commendation meeting was held in the auditorium of the Provincial Theater. The main leaders of the Central Committee, the Provincial Party Committee, and the Provincial Government attended the meeting. Yuan Fangguo attended the commendation meeting as an advanced individual. Yuan Fangtai and other officers and soldiers who participated in the death squad were also awarded third-class merit.
After the meeting, Yuan Fangguo promptly found the provincial leaders and took the initiative to express that he would take good care of the families of the fallen martyrs.
…
Honor belongs only to the past; the present is the most critical.
After returning to the company, Yuan Fangguo did not mention a word about his honor, as if the incident had never happened.
The most difficult thing for him right now is to comfort his girlfriend.
Song Yiting returned to Chengdu in early August. She had a very tight schedule in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, and was about to record a new album. However, because the court was about to hear her mother's case of embezzlement and bribery, as a family member, she had to be present.
Through the unremitting efforts of Bai Yanfei, Liu Tongsheng and the lawyers, they had a rough idea in their minds that He Yingjie's sentence would be around 3 to 3.5 years, and he would be expelled from the clan.
Although such a result was expected, Song Yiting's emotions were still inevitably affected.
The night before the trial, she almost stayed awake all night and cried all night with the comfort of her boyfriend.
So much so that when she appeared in court the next day, she couldn't help but put on thick foundation to hide her fatigue.
This time, Song Nianyou also went to court, and it was the first time he met his daughter's boyfriend.
But when she saw her mother, she couldn't help sobbing.
He Yingjie had obviously lost a lot of weight, and patches of white hair were appearing on his head.
When He Yingjie saw her daughter sitting with Yuan Fangguo, she couldn't help but smile with relief.
"The defendant, He Yingjie, has committed the crimes of embezzlement, bribery, and dereliction of duty..., causing significant economic losses to the state. The following verdict is issued: The defendant, He Yingjie, is sentenced to three years' imprisonment, expelled from the Communist Party, and deprived of his political rights for one year..."
"He Yingjie, are you dissatisfied with the verdict?"
"I obey the verdict and apologize for the losses caused to the country." He Yingjie said sincerely.
…
According to regulations, He Yingjie can meet with his family after the court's verdict.
