Zhong Lin had already heard what Liu Jun meant, and immediately, after Zhong Lin sorted out Liu Jun's words, he immediately began to write documents in his notebook, and then turned around and walked out to start arranging. Nature

After Zhong Lin left, Liu Jun looked at the map again, today is already the second day, at most tomorrow morning, the water will pass through Jingzhou.

"Quick, fortify the shore." On the shore of Jingzhou, thousands of officers and soldiers really struggled to carry sandbags packed in bags on their shoulders, and then carried them to the Zhuangzi made of tree stumps and piled them up.

Boom Boom Boom ..... Thunder roared, thunder reappeared, and rain appeared again in the sky.

Damn, how long will it rain, in the defense command center, Duan Qirui, who was wearing a military uniform, saw that it was raining again, and immediately cursed for a while.

It was already raining heavily, but now, it was still falling, and he didn't know when it would be a head.

In two days, he urgently mobilized more than 40,000 men from two armies, plus the strength of three independent divisions, to begin the final repairs.

"How long will it take?" Duan Qirui, who was turning around in the command center, asked, Zhang Qing, who was crawling in front of the map next to him, asked.

Zhang Qing was in charge of the final inspection, looked down and thought for a while, Zhang Qing picked up the document in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then suddenly said, "There are still three hours to complete at most." ”

Three hours, this is the last effort, as for the results, it depends on the heavens, thinking of this, Duan Qirui walked to the table and took a deep breath and said: "Order, after the maintenance is completed, all departments will immediately withdraw to the nearest mountain, and wait for orders at any time, order, in the outer navy of Jingzhou, enter immediately, from now on, the torpedo boats will stop patrolling, so the patrol matters will all be handed over to the naval destroyers." ”

The current situation is no longer suitable for torpedo boat patrols, the tonnage of torpedo boats is small, maybe if you really don't pay attention, then there is a danger of sinking, for this, Duan Qirui didn't dare to take risks, he thought about it for a while, or let the eleven destroyers moored on the periphery complete and patrol.

"Understood." When the staff officer on the side heard Duan Qirui's order, he immediately began to rush out and give orders.

Syllable....... The last sack of sand was filled behind the stump, and all the troops did not rest, but immediately evacuated the place.

Bang Bang ...... The rain was pouring on the ground, and less than half an hour after the army withdrew, Duan Qirui appeared on the shore. Do a final check-up.

I have to say that this time the defense is the most complete, and I have served as the flood control commander twice, this is the third time, the first two times, not as much as this time.

In terms of sandbags alone, even if all the sandbags from the year before last year and last year are combined, there are not as many as in Jingzhou this year. Not to mention the other places, sandbags and other places have been placed, and in the downstream area, several abandoned rivers have been put into use.

There are no problems in the downstream now, but now, what I am most worried about is the Jingzhou area.

Therefore, he is determined to be in Jingzhou, not going anywhere, and he must wait here for the flood to recede before leaving.

"Looks like there aren't many problems?" Duan Qirui looked at Zhang Qinghou in front of him and said.

Zhang Qing also nodded, indeed this time, a large amount of work has been completed, and these important projects are enough to complete this flood discharge.

"It's all up to the first wave tomorrow." Seeing Zhang Qing, he nodded. Duan Qirui said after taking a deep breath.

It's going to depend on tomorrow, Zhang Qing, who heard this, smiled slightly, then nodded, and pulled Duan Qirui back to the headquarters.

In the courtyard of the headquarters, there is now an airship docked, and this airship will be used by Duan Qirui for air command and patrol tomorrow morning.

Early tomorrow morning, Duan Qirui will start patrolling in the air, and if there is any danger now, he will mobilize his troops to do it as soon as possible.

Boom Boom Boom ....... The river in the distance made an earth-shattering sound, Duan Qirui, who heard this sound, opened his eyes and pulled the light line next to the bed, and then looked at the clock in front of him, it was already six o'clock in the morning, and after waiting for a while, the sky would be bright, listening to the sound of the river outside. Duan Qirui didn't have any sleepiness in his heart, and immediately, he stood up, then got dressed and waited, anyway, now, he can't sleep. It's better to sit here and wait.

After about an hour, the sky began to clear.

The headquarters was set up on a hill, and when you look down from here, you can clearly see the situation on the other side of the river.

The water level has all risen. The floats had already begun to appear submerged, and Duan Qirui, who saw this situation, immediately took a deep breath, and then began to tidy up his clothes.

Buzz Buzz....... The airship was already starting to move, and Duan Qirui, who heard this voice, already knew that the airship was ready for everything, and immediately, Duan Qirui, who had taken care of everything, put on a raincoat and came to the airship.

"Commander, everything is ready, but given the strong wind, we can only fly fifty meters above the ground." The commander of the airship stepped forward and saluted.

Whatever, as long as he can observe everything, it doesn't matter how many meters it is, Duan Qirui, who nodded slightly, smiled. He then rolled over and stepped into the airship and pulled out his binoculars.

Kaka..... The cable had been cut off, and the airship began to sway slowly and rise into the sky.

Buzz Buzz....... After a moment's spin, the airship began to fly towards the middle of the river.

It's a lot of water, Duan Qirui, who was standing in the airship, took a deep breath, he had grown so big, but he really hadn't seen such a big flood, the entire river was as terrifying as thousands of horses and thousands of armies marching together, there were too many trees and pillars brought down from the upstream, Duan Qirui estimated that this should be some houses destroyed upstream.

On the river, several destroyers of the Navy's Beiyang Naval Division are sailing on the river, and for the navy, the sea is not known to be many times more dangerous than here. Therefore, such a little thing is simply a piece of cake for the navy, because for them, this kind of water surface is just enough to drive warships.

In this flood, Li He mobilized a total of 25 destroyers from the three home fleets, all of which were handed over to Duan Qirui for processing, and Duan Qirui made a certain allocation, deploying more than a dozen warships in the most dangerous areas, and letting them patrol and even rescue, as for other places, there are not many at all, their task is just regular patrols.
