Actually, in the morning, large and small sand dredging boats and four sand transporting barges were temporarily confiscated.
The small sand dredging boat, which was only about thirty tons, was obviously modified from a regular cargo ship.
The large sand dredging boat weighed over two hundred tons with formidable horsepower and from the design, it seemed to have been specifically built for dredging, oddly shaped just like the small one.
In the morning, while dredging in the Sanhe Waters, they were "crawling" at full power on the surface; the loud engine noises echoed to the skies, black smoke covered the river, and the large sand-sucking pipes penetrated the riverbed, swallowing the swirling sands, devouring the body of the Yangtze River like a "bloodsucking worm."
To temporarily confiscate these boats and their crews, Han Yu, Ma Jintao, Yang Yong, Yang Yuan, and Old Jiang were fully armed, carrying assault rifles to assist with Port Supervision law enforcement!
