Haishudongqiao Town, low-lying, straight to the Kyaukkou Reservoir of the Zhangxi River in Yinjiang Town divided into two into Yinjiang River and Nantang River, the two rivers directly through the Dongqiao Town area, into the Fenghua River.

Severely damaged by the storms and rain brought about by the "fireworks", the reservoir was discharged, the water level of the Two Rivers continued to exceed the guaranteed water level, the river water was inverted, and the whole town of Dongqiao was seriously flooded, and all 20 villages (communities) were affected, affecting more than 50,000 people and transferring more than 7,600 people.

The water in Dongqiao Town is generally more than 50 centimeters, and the deepest point is 2.2 meters, making it difficult to enter the disaster area. It was not until the morning of the 28th that most of the water in Dongqiao Town receded. Since the 25th, we have entered the Dongqiao Town District in various ways to experience various fragments of assistance to the disaster-stricken areas and the restoration of life.

Difficult, advance into the disaster area to seize time

On the afternoon of the 25th, we drove to the horn of the 214 provincial highway, the wind was strong, the rain was urgent, and it looked far away, a vast ocean, unable to pass. When we were at a loss, we encountered the Haishu Fire Rescue Brigade that came to the rescue, and we joined forces, carrying kayaks, life jackets and other water rescue equipment, and walked into the villages of Dongqiao to search for people for help.

"Anybody? The further you go, the deeper the water gets, and the firefighters have to take kayaks, connect their bodies with safety ropes, and search from house to house. In one factory, 19 workers were trapped and the rubber boats could not all be transferred. After checking the water level, experienced firefighters act as "bellwethers", and all of them form a "long snake array", slowly advancing, and finally safely moving to the resettlement site.

The list of such rescue stories in that afternoon is endless. On that day, a total of 723 people were rescued.

On the evening of the 26th, we followed the Blue Sky Rescue Team to dongqiao rescue. On the way, captain Chen Qing repeatedly told him to follow closely and not to go away. It was another day of fierce storm, and it was impossible to tell which was the river and which was the road.

Vehicles travel to the exit of the Zhidong Bridge Expressway, which has become a "rescue headquarters", and the two sides of the exit are full of rescue vehicles from all sides. And the water outside the exit is thick, only to see the storm boat transporting supplies and personnel non-stop shuttle. "Divide into two teams, hurry up and act..." The team members jumped down and moved the submarine and the motor... In just 5 minutes, the command came to the task of delivering food to a resettlement site of 400 people.

Against the wind and rain, wading in the water, the water is constantly pouring into the rain boots, soaking wet, and traveling slowly. Due to the power outage, the night is shrouded. At this time, the streets of Dongqiao were overflowing with water, and where the searchlights reached, the flooding of shops on both sides was about half a floor. We shook on the water as we boarded the stormtrooper and started the motor, because the cell phone signal was intermittent and the navigation could not give us accurate directions. To make matters worse, the depth of the water was different, and the stormtrooper motor could not be continuously turned on, so we had to push the kayak with the rescue team and force the way forward with the flashlight. 4 kilometers of road, the dark "waterway" traveled to take an hour and a half. In the vast darkness, moving forward in the water, we feel afraid and afraid of getting lost, we constantly encourage each other, work together, rely on a beam of light to judge the direction.

At 9 o'clock that night, we finally arrived at the resettlement site, quickly unloaded the food, and began a new task. Along the way, our storm boat took several people trapped in the car and wading through the water, and the group of people either pulled or pushed, and arrived at the Dongqiao police station. Here the lights are bright, busy and orderly, and there are many food, water and other materials stored in the house, which will be distributed according to demand. Generators in the backyard of the police station are rumbling to ensure that the police and command system are unobstructed.

Ten minutes later, Chen Qing received a new distress message — to transfer a group of trapped people. Due to the limited load capacity of the assault boat, we decided to stay behind and leave the position to those who needed to be transferred. At the police station, we met Gan Laiyu, the head of Yonghong Construction Company, who was directing the engineering vehicle. Because of the serious water accumulation, he organized 4 large transport vehicles to come to Dongqiao and transport people and supplies from the highway to various areas.

We got into one of the construction vehicles and returned to the highway. "It's okay now, the car can still move, if it continues to rise, the water will be filled into the fuel tank, and it is inevitable to lie down." The driver looked tired to Katsukata, having eaten a lunch since 11 p.m., and he hadn't had time for a dinner until 11 p.m. "It came at 6 a.m., I don't know how many trips back and forth."

On the "waterway", the construction vehicle travels at a "turtle speed" of 5 kilometers per hour. Back at the high-speed entrance headquarters, it was already 4 a.m., the scene gradually became quiet, the wind and rain gradually decreased, and only the sound of the generator appeared heavier.

Late at night, a reporter who had just returned from rescue with the rescue team wrote in the rescue team's car.

Warm, there is temperature in the resettlement site

In the early morning of July 26, in order to ensure the safety of the reservoir, the two major reservoirs upstream of Zhou Gongzhai and Kyaukkou opened their gates and discharged floodwater, and the water accumulation in the cave bridge became more and more serious, and the whole line was cut off from power and water.

Hurry! The "Red Sea Commando Team", composed of party members and reserve party members of Haishu District-level organs and units, sank to the front line, and together with more than 260 dongqiao town and village cadres, more than 2,000 volunteers, and rescue forces such as armed police, fire brigades, and militia, tried all kinds of ways to safely transfer more than 7,600 people to 23 local resettlement sites.

We followed a fire rescue team and walked through the car, boat, and finally lay waist-deep water to the village of Shangshuiqi, where the water was most serious, and met the 94-year-old Sheng Xiaomao at the village cultural hall resettlement site on the second floor. Together with more than 380 villagers, he has arrived safely here.

"The water came so fast that I lived 94 years to see such a big flood for the first time." Sheng Xiaomao said. At the resettlement sites, we saw that water and food were distributed one by one, and medical workers also gave the elderly a physical examination.

Overnight. On the morning of the 26th, we "boated into" the resettlement site of Dongqiao Town Center Primary School. Here I met Zhang Xianjie, the general affairs director of the primary school, who has been busy for 3 consecutive days. Before the typhoon came, he gave up his son, who had a high fever of 38.5 degrees, and threw himself into the front line without hesitation.

At the resettlement site, Zhang Xianjie and volunteers carried more than 20 elderly and disabled people with limited mobility to the disaster shelter on the second floor, and repeatedly traveled back and forth in the chest-deep flood to deliver water and food to the victims. Earlier, an 80-year-old man who was soaking wet was transferred here, and Zhang Xianjie took out his only quilt and spread it under the old man.

On the morning of the 27th, the sun penetrated the clouds and shot out a ray of light from time to time, which gave hope to the people in the Cave Bridge settlement.

In the resettlement site of Dongqiao Town Junior High School, the classrooms on the second, third and fourth floors and the closed corridors outside the classrooms are fully open to the people who are sheltering from danger, and the resettled masses are mainly migrant workers and local villagers, with nearly 1,000 people. Here, drinking mineral water, instant noodles, biscuits, cold mats and other materials are plentiful, and whenever the "room chief" and "layer chief" distribute food and supplies, the queue is orderly.

Li Huifen, director of the Health Management Center of haishu district second hospital, and his colleagues were on duty overnight. She has been busy at this settlement for the past few days, and the residents are a little uncomfortable, and she is on call. "'We'll hold on until the water recedes completely.'" Li Huifen said.

At noon, Li Zemin, who came to Work in Yongzhou, Anhui Province, also ate a hot dish and hot rice sent by the surrounding masses and drank a small wine. He was quite satisfied, "Living in the resettlement site for three days, three meals a day are guaranteed, the staff is very attentive and content." ”

At the resettlement site, volunteers organize activities such as storytelling, playing games, and talent competitions from time to time, and the resettlement time is also colorful.

Turn, everything is getting better

At 5 o'clock in the morning of the 28th, we saw that the cave bridge was flooded with lights.

In the previous night, the State Grid Ningbo Power Supply Company organized more than 500 power emergency repairers from all over the world to rush to the aid of Dongqiao and check and repair 21 lines. In the Dongqiao Mingyuan community, which was the hardest hit by the disaster, electric workers waded through the water to repair, inspected the floor of one building after another, and replaced the meters that may have been flooded.

The electricity is restored, the lights are on, and the people have a sense of security in their hearts. At the entrance of Dongqiao Mingyuan, the largest community in Dongqiao Town, we met an old man who went downstairs to purchase supplies, which was the first time he went downstairs in three days. "With so many people coming to help us, life is about to be restored."

At present, the water in Dongqiao Town has receded, and the pump gate of the Haishu wind shed has played a big role. The wind shed pump sluice is located on the bank of the Fenghua River, discharging the water from the river network into the Fenghua River. At 11:47 a.m. on the 28th, the water level of the outer river was finally lower than the water level of the inland river, and the 6 strong exhaust units of the wind shed pump gate ended more than 110 hours of continuous operation, shutting down and preparing.

Jin Xuyi, deputy director of the Haishu Embankment Institute, introduced that since the separation of the strong discharge at 16:19 on the 23rd, a total of 29.41 million cubic meters was discharged by noon on the 28th, exceeding 60% of the strong displacement of the pump in the Haishu Area, effectively alleviating the water pressure in the entire Haishu Area, especially in the Dongqiao area.

"On the evening of the 25th, the most severe time was the inland water level of 3.25 meters, the water level of the outer river was 4.25 meters, and the water level difference reached one meter." Jin Xuyi said that to ensure that the equipment continues to operate with high intensity, the three teams always pay close attention to the value, "Fortunately, the wind shed pump gate equipment and team have withstood the test of the typhoon." ”

In the afternoon, when we stepped into the original most lively Pansha North Road in Dongqiao Town, the scene in front of us was very different from the previous day. Many residents on the street waded back to their homes in shallow water, gradually returning to normal life and work. In many frontage shops, clerks are busy cleaning up goods and debris that have been washed away by water and saving themselves after the disaster.

"75% of the residents have already received electricity at home, and most enterprises also have electricity, and they can resume work and production on the 29th." Lin Danfeng, the party secretary of Dongqiao Town, slept only for 2 hours in 4 days and 3 nights, and when he faced us, he would smile and say, "It will be better soon." ”

The water has receded, the power supply has been restored, and many communities and enterprises have also regained popularity. Volunteers wielding shovels and brooms to remove silt and clean and kill can be seen everywhere, a scene of heat.

As of the evening of the 28th, some restaurants and shops along the street in Dongqiao Town have reopened, and residents of Shagang Xinyuan and other communities have blown on fan air conditioning. At present, power emergency repairs are still in progress.

After the rain has passed, I believe that the fireworks in this town will soon return to normal.
