At 3:48 PM, the Jingzhou Flood Control Command, through a Guangzhou Military Region commander stationed in Jingzhou to support flood resistance, bypassed the 105th Army and 404th Division to issue the first order directly to the Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Camp.
The order required the Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Camp's shore construction crew to immediately proceed to a cracked and severely leaking sluice gate in Tong River upon arrival in Jingzhou to execute rescue tasks!
While providing specific location and contacts, it was emphasized that since it was difficult for convoys of transferred personnel and equipment to pass through roads and bridges along the route, the Beihu Province Military District had requested the Jingzhou Flood Control Command to order a Boat Bridge Group to break through mountains and build bridges over water for the Binjiang Reserve Camp!
