Chapter 086 Air Bombing Plan
On the third day of flood control, Li Zhan saw Li Fengxiang early in the morning in the tower, and then he knew that the situation was worse. Li Fengxiang was the chief engineer of the military meteorological center. When Super Mary ravaged Nangang city, he turned to Longcheng, which shows that the flood control situation here is becoming more and more serious.
The Tower Control Center has almost become the "Air Force Branch" of the Flood Control Command. In addition to the control personnel, half of the space is used by meteorological personnel, and the meteorological scope of attention covers four provinces and two regions.
The weather has been very bad in the past ten hours, and I can’t see the road even if I walk, let alone fly, so Li Zhan has a lot of rest and has a very good sleep.
Yu Chenglin and Zhang Wei, two main tower commanders, and meteorological personnel led by Li Fengxiang, whispered around the combat table to study the meteorological cloud map, and analyzed it in detail the current water level status of the Sanhe River Basin. In the past twenty hours, Dam No. 3 has blocked five flood peaks. The original sixth and seventh flood peaks will arrive around 17:00 and 19:00 pm, and a new flood peak is still forming upstream.
There is a landline and a satellite phone on the combat table, which is specially used to contact the flood control command. At this time, it is like a time bomb. Everyone is afraid of touching and ringing.
Li Zhan stood behind silently and listened to their discussion.
Zhang Yuan, holding a colored pencil in his hand, supported his hands on the topographic map, and drew a circle at a certain location upstream of the Sanhe River, saying, "This is the location where the flood peak is formed. The altitude of thousands of meters above the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau suddenly became more than 100 meters here, with a huge drop and a very abundant water supply. Then the flood peak ran eastward without any obstacles. One of the No. 1 Dam and the No. 2 Dam are small dams and old dams, and their role can be played very limited. Therefore, the No. 3 Dam is the main obstacle to withstand the impact force of the flood peaks."
Yu Chenglin said, "Now the water level of Dam No. 3 has been called to the police, which has far exceeded the designed capacity. Two flood discharge outlets have been opened. When the flood peaks arrive at the back, more flood discharge outlets will be necessary, otherwise Dam No. 3 will be in danger of dam collapse."
"This is the problem." Zhang Yuan nodded to Yu Chenglin and said to Li Fengxiang, "Mr. Li, many embankments in the downstream area have reached the critical point, and the troops and local people are strengthening and raising the two sides. Dam No. 3 opens the flood discharge outlet again, and these temporarily reinforced and raised embankments cannot withstand the huge impact of pressure."
It was only then that Li Zhan realized that Chief Engineer Li Fengxiang was not only a meteorological master, but also one of the main figures who were qualified to make suggestions to the Flood Control Command in terms of flood control decisions.
The combat atmosphere is very strong. For the troops, flood control and rescue are operations.
"The solution must be taken." Li Fengxiang said in a deep voice, "In the next forty-eight hours, the precipitation will not slow down significantly. Not only should we consider the flood peaks coming down the upstream, but also the water accumulation in various regions. The situation is even more serious than we expected."
Everyone looked at each other and was at a loss.
As soon as nature shows its power, humans will be confused.
"We can only dig floods upstream and discharge floods, and kill the new flood peak before reaching Dam No. 3. The remaining difficulties must be overcome." Yu Chenglin said in a deep voice.
Li Fengxiang picked up the pen, drew a circle to circle the upstream basin, and asked, "The specific plan, where to lead from and where to leak, what impact will it have."
As soon as he saw the provincial capital in the circle, Yu Chenglin shut up.
The reason why we can't let go of the discussion plan is that there are urban agglomerations centered on provincial capital cities and urban agglomerations in the mountains, and there are many important industrial enterprises and technology research and development enterprises there. The location of the provincial capital city cluster is quite embarrassing. Sanhe divides them into two and passes through them in a straight manner.
In the upstream, flood discharge and drainage, where to drain?
Wherever you go, you will inevitably flood the provincial capital because it is in the valley.
Otherwise, the same method would have been used long ago, and the flood control and rescue command would not have been waiting until now. What's more, the front-line command for flood control and rescue is in the provincial capital, and they know the local situation the best.
"The Flood Resistance Command hopes that we will provide a solution that means using fighter jets to bomb, right?" Li Zhan couldn't help but say.
Everyone looked at Li Zhan standing behind the sound, and Li Fengxiang waved to Li Zhan to come over.
Li Zhan walked over and said steadily, "I have an immature idea to bomb the location where the flood peaks are formed. I have conducted aerial reconnaissance and also seen aerial photos. The largest drop is actually a narrow valley. The three rivers flow through two blocks of mountains blocking the north and south sides, so that the three rivers can only flow eastward. Blasting one of the mountains to a hole can play a role in diversion at the source."
"I have a bold idea!"
Li Fengxiang's eyes lit up and he praised with a thumbs up.
"Yes! There is no people in the primeval forest area. You can let go of the explosion and diversion. As long as the flood goes to the north and south sides, the crisis downstream will be lifted!" Zhang Yuan said excitedly.
Something similar has not been done before. The icy in the Yellow River caused the water level to soar decades ago. The water level in many places is much higher than that in buildings. Finally, the Air Force dispatched bombers to bomb the icy locations that could not be broken using other methods, alleviating the crisis. It is said that the old guy H-6 was on duty back then, but he was still a young man back then.
Yu Chenglin followed the way down, "It is unlikely that we can dispatch bombers, it is best to use precise bombing methods, so that we will have to conduct detailed reconnaissance and detection of the terrain of the target area. This may not be possible by aerial photography alone."
Zhang Wei raised his hand and said, "We can coordinate the army troops. Their Army Airlines can carry scouts for on-site reconnaissance. If conditions permit, they can even carry out blasting."
"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhang Yuan called out the satellite topography map and flipped it over and said, "Small equivalents of explosives have no effect at all. Using a large amount of explosives is a problem, and evacuation of personnel is also a problem. What's more, judging by the current weather, helicopters cannot get in at all."
Yu Chenglin said, "They can't get in, and our plane can't take off. Time is so tight, it will definitely not work to pass through land maneuvering."
The plan encountered difficulties again.
Li Fengxiang stared at the satellite cloud map, and the atmosphere became very solemn. He looked up and said to Zhang Yuan, "Is the latest cloud map coming out?"
"I'll ask." Zhang Yuan immediately called the National Satellite Meteorological Center and received the reply. He said, "Come here immediately."
Li Fengxiang immediately came to the computer terminal and sat in front of the display screen, waiting to receive real-time satellite meteorological cloud map. The troops have not yet established a real-time sharing platform with the National Satellite Meteorological Center. Interoperability can only be carried out through the network by transmitting files.
The latest satellite cloud map has arrived. Li Fengxiang looked at it carefully frame by frame, sometimes magnifying the microscope, sometimes minifying the overall situation. Frequently compare the analysis and prediction reports sent together, supplemented by his own thinking.
