Chapter 2202

The two of them were also on duty here. On the embankment, there were two people in a group on duty to patrol the embankment every fifty meters. The main thing was to see if there were any signs of piping at the foot of the embankment on the back of the embankment. Generally, they had to patrol once every ten minutes. They were on duty for the first half of the night today, and they could only go to sleep when the people who changed shifts came.

And the work of the two of them going down to the embankment to patrol was all covered by Xia Song. Originally, Su Xinghui was prepared to take turns with him to patrol, but Xia Song insisted on not doing so, so Su Xinghui let him go.

Xia Song put on his high-top rain boots, put the trouser legs of his long pants into the high-top rain boots, and then took a strong flashlight and walked toward the bottom of the embankment.

Putting on high-top rain boots was to prevent snakes in the grass at the bottom of the embankment. If bitten by a snake, it would not be fun, so no matter how hot it was, one had to wear high-top rain boots when patrolling the bottom of the embankment.

When Xia Song went down, the patrol personnel around were also walking toward the bottom of the embankment. Now the sandbags on the top of the embankment had been piled high enough, so they could temporarily stop carrying sandbags, and the main work was to patrol the embankment. Of course, because the flood peaks came one after another, they could not leave the embankment and were ready to fight at any time.

This night was quiet, and the patrol personnel went down to the embankment quietly. However, Su Xinghui felt very at ease when he saw the light beams of those strong flashlights scanning the back of the embankment.

It was precisely the patrol of these people every day and every night that ensured that this embankment was as stable as Mount Tai and guaranteed the safety of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Chongjin County behind this river embankment.

Because Su Xinghui had many affairs during the day, he basically worked the first half of the night shift every day, from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM. In fact, others didn't want him to work the shift, but Su Xinghui firmly refused to engage in special treatment. Since he lived on the embankment, he had to work the shift. This was the truth of leading by example.

Under Su Xinghui's leadership, very few cadres in Chongjin County dared to violate discipline at this time. Last month, when Su Xinghui had not yet lived on the embankment, he inspected the flood control and emergency rescue situation in various townships and discovered two cases of cadres violating discipline. One was sneaking home at night, and the other was playing cards in a tent. As a result, they were all seriously dealt with by Su Xinghui.

These two cadres, one was a deputy township head of a township, and the other was a deputy director of the county's Industry and Commerce Bureau. They were all dismissed on the spot by Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui, as the commander of the county's flood control headquarters, had this power in such an extraordinary period. And with his prestige in the county, he made such a decision, and the two cadres didn't dare to say anything, obediently accepting the treatment, and had to continue to stay on the embankment to fight the flood.

After these two incidents were notified to the whole county, no one dared to violate discipline again. Even Meng Linguo, the Executive Deputy County Magistrate who was very unhappy with Su Xinghui, obediently stayed on the embankment of a township he was in charge of and did not go home for more than a month.

These cadres had to obediently fight the flood and rescue disaster victims, and the masses who fought the flood were also driven by them and were full of energy.

As for the People's Liberation Army soldiers who went up to the embankment, they listened to the command in everything. They were the group of people with the most discipline, and Su Xinghui would not worry about them even more.

The flood control situation in Chongjin County this year was so good, firstly because the embankment was repaired firmly, and secondly because the discipline was strict, and the latter was more important.

No matter how firmly the embankment was repaired, if the discipline was not strict and loose, the embankment would have a day of being washed away. People were the most precious.

If it weren't for the efforts of these flood control soldiers and civilians, there wouldn't be only one breach in the flood season this year.
