The Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Ganjiang River, Jialing River, Poyang Lake, Chaohu Lake, Taihu Lake, Dongting Lake…
Since the beginning of the flood season this year, due to continuous heavy rainfall, 610 rivers across the country have experienced floods above the warning water level, of which 179 have exceeded the guaranteed water level and 52 have exceeded the historical record. Severe floods have occurred in many places, and the safety of people’s lives and property is seriously threatened.
The People’s Army, bravely shoulder heavy responsibilities. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and President Xi, the entire army fought against the epidemic and went to the disaster area. Together with the people of the whole country, we united as one, and overcame difficulties together, and overcome difficulties together, and built a steel Great Wall for the people to prevent and fight floods with loyalty.
On August 20, President Xi delivered an important speech after listening to the report on the military’s participation in flood prevention and disaster relief, praising the People’s Army for obeying the Party’s command, acting upon orders, and moving towards danger, and playing the role of a commando at a critical moment.
The commander inspires and inspires the three armies. The troops that completed flood prevention and disaster relief tasks have been working tirelessly to support local post-disaster recovery and reconstruction work, and hot battle scenes have appeared in flood-hit areas.
Fight continuously
—Where there are flood peaks and waves, there are people’s soldiers
2020 is an extraordinary year, with many tests coming one after another—
At the beginning of the new year, the new crown pneumonia epidemic suddenly came, Wuhan pressed the “pause button”, and the nationwide battle to prevent and control the epidemic;
The epidemic improved, heavy rains and floods swept over again, the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and other rivers were at an over-warm water level, and severe floods occurred in many places across the country.
The flood was raging, and Jingchu was in a hurry. Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawThe people of Hubei, who have just emerged from the battlefield against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, have to face the flood disaster again. At a critical moment, the people’s soldiers moved when they heard the order, as if they were in a breeze, and stood upright. The Hubei Provincial Military Region coordinated with a brigade of the Airborne Army, a brigade of the Central Theater Command Army, and the Hubei Corps of the Armed Police, a total of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, and together with more than 2,300 militiamen, they jointly fought against the flood. The heroic troops who participated in the arduous battle to defend Hubei and Wuhan at the beginning of the year, now they walked onto the flood control embankment side by side to protect the lives and property of the people.
“The troops need, I have to push it up. “At the beginning of this year, Hu Yan, the head nurse of the 901st Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force, and his comrades went to the battlefield of the fight against the epidemic without hesitation; a few months later, she and her comrades rushed to the flood control embankment, accompanying the front-line flood control officers and soldiers. “The flood has receded, and I will go home for a vacation. “Xi Aoxiang, a corporal of the Mobile Detachment of the Hubei Corps of the Armed Police, had always wanted to go home to visit relatives after completing the duty task of Huoshenshan Hospital, but after the troops received the flood control and rescue tasks, they resolutely submitted a “letter of request” to the organization. “We must carry forward the style of continuous fighting, effectively organize emergency rescue and disaster relief, support the local area to recover and renovate post-disaster, and effectively complete the follow-up tasks of flood prevention and disaster relief. “President Xi’s earnest instructions have inspired the officers and soldiers on the front line of flood control: to continue fighting for the people.
From Poyang Lake to Chaohu, from Han River to Minjiang River… Whether it is “moving northward and moving eastward” or “moving southward and moving westward”, wherever the main rain belt moves, the position for flood prevention and disaster relief will turn; wherever the disaster is the most serious, wherever the people need it most, there will be people’s soldiers.
The predecessor of a brigade of the Eastern Theater Command Army was awarded the honorary title of “Flood Control and Rescue Model Rescue” during the 1998 flood control. During this flood season, the brigade moved to Chaohu, Feidong, Lujiang and other places in Anhui to fight In 15 dangerous areas, we protect the safety of embankments for the people along the line.
In 2010, 2016 and 2020, a brigade of the 73rd Group Army went to Jiangxi for flood control and rescue three times. The brigade had 32 officers and soldiers who went on the front line to fight on the front line and demonstrated their loyalty at the top of the flood peaks.
The training line, flood control embankments, and streets and alleys. Repair and reinforcement of embankments, transfer of furniture and items, and clear silt debris… After the critical period of flood prevention in “seven down eight” and disaster relief work began to enter the “second half”. From the training ground, we went to Sanhe, Feixi County, Hefei City, Anhui Province. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan 1990 cloth drawFlood control line of Zhangjiawei, the officers and soldiers of a brigade of the 72nd Army fought for more than 30 days and nights. After achieving a phased victory in the flood prevention and disaster relief struggle, they actively helped the local people to transfer stranded materials and participate in the restoration and reconstruction.
From the people, serving the people. Earthquake relief, epidemic prevention and control, flood control and rescue… In every crisis, there are always their figures going against the flow, living up to their trust and fulfilling their mission.
“Stand tightly with the Chinese people and serving the Chinese people wholeheartedly is the only purpose of this army. “Everything is for the people, it is the red gene that continues to be passed down and lasts forever, and it is the unchanging original mission of revolutionary soldiers. On the battlefield of flood prevention and disaster relief, the people’s soldiers always regard the people as their relatives and always hold the interests of the people high above their heads!
Fight for one’s own sake
——The people’s soldiers transformed into a dike and built an iron wall that cannot be destroyed
Babaylan 1990 cloth draw19.05Babaylan 1990 cloth drawmCinema 1950 witch cloth draw, 21.87 meters, 22.53 meters!
Level 4, Level 3, Level 2, Level 1!
At 0:00 on July 12, a red mark was overflowing in the water level well at Xingzi Station, the iconic hydrological station of Poyang Lake – “The 1998 flood level was 22.52m”. Poyang Lake has broken through the highest water level since hydrological records!
The preliminary statistics are even more heartbreaking: more than 5.21 million people are affected, more than 430,000 people need to be evacuated urgently, and 455,000 hectares of crops are affected.
After receiving the order, a brigade of the 71st Group Army, which was organizing a drill in a certain area in eastern Anhui, quickly activated the emergency plan. More than 2,300 officers and soldiers rushed to Jiujiang in the early morning of the 12th. After more than 10 hours of maneuvering, the officers and soldiers did not rest after arriving in Jiujiang, and immediately went to 10 counties (districts) to carry out flood prevention and disaster relief.
“The troops are here to rescue us!” Seeing the officers and soldiers coming quickly, the people along the way rushed to tell us.
This sound is sincere, this feeling is serene.
“Please hand over the most dangerous, difficult and urgent tasks to us!” On August 20, in Baima Township, Pingwu County, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, thousands of people were trapped in the mountains after heavy rain. Zhang Shangnian, a first-class pilot of a 7th Army Aircraft Brigade of a 7th Group Army, and his comrades took off and rescued quickly.
This scene is very similar to Zhang Shangnian’s experience of rushing to Lushan, Sichuan to fight the earthquake relief in 2013. That time, Zhang Shangnian drove a war eagle through the clouds and fog, connecting 7 “islands of life”.
Emergency rescue and show loyalty. A set of data is shocking: As of August 19, the People’s Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force dispatched more than 1.2 million troops, organized more than 300,000 militias, participated in flood prevention and disaster relief operations in 17 provinces, evacuated more than 170,000 people, blocked more than 3,900 busts and pipe surges, and reinforced dams.More than 900 kilometers and more than 350 kilometers of roads to grab the passage.
A set of pictures is heartbreaking: tanned face, red and peeling arms, soaked Babaylan 1990 clothes draw white feet, sleeping posture on the ground… “The army is first and foremost a battle team, which exists for war.” The embankment is the battlefield, and you must draw your sword when you go to battle. In the face of the evil waves of the flood peaks, the people’s soldiers transformed into embankments and built an iron wall that could not be destroyed.
“Walking onto the embankment, I am ready to sacrifice everything.” The embankment broke and floods raged. Mao Xiaochi, a brigade leader of the 72nd Group Army, and formed a party member commando and pulled up the rope. Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw. He built a wall of humans to escort the villagers through the water.
“The people are in the dike, and the embankment is in a half-step, and they will not retreat!” The officers and soldiers of a “Model Battalion of Combat” of a brigade of the Eastern Theater Command Army fought day and night, firmly holding on the embankment like steel nails. In just 10 days, 996 people were dispatched, 29 large and small seepage ditches were excavated, and more than 180 cubic meters of sand and stone were filled.
“The heroic army was back then.” 22 years ago, the Yangtze River main dike in Ma’anshan City, Anhui Province suffered eight rounds of flood peaks, and danger continued. The officers and soldiers of the “Linfen Brigade” fought for more than 30 days and nights and guarded the dike. Today, 22 years later, thousands of officers and soldiers of the brigade acted upon hearing the order and rushed to Ma’anshan from the training ground to help him at night, and devoted themselves to flood fighting and rescue battles, and always inspiring the fighting spirit of unity, tenacious struggle and daring to win.
The people who returned were not only heroic troops, but also veterans who were unarmed and young men.
Wear a wardrobe in one day and spend your whole life on the battlefield. The veterans of the 1998 flood fighting were on the front line again, the veterans returned to the team for flood control 20 hours, and 10 Shanxi veterans drove 1,300 kilometers to help Jiangxi fight flood control… They built a dike on the front line of flood fighting, and netizens left a message shocking: “Serving the people has become the background of their lives, and defending the country has become their muscle memory…”
“I have done what my predecessors have done today.” During the major flood in 1998, the flood fighting officers and soldiers blocked the flood with their flesh and blood, and rescued the 6-year-old Roger and his family. Today, 22 years later, Luo Jie, who served as the squad leader of the Fuzhou Detachment of the Jiangxi Corps of the Armed Police, fought with his comrades on the flood control dike and guarded the people’s homeland.
The young officers and soldiers who fully demonstrated their courage, confidence and perseverance were like a strong forceThe powerful “rear wave”. In the journey of a strong military, the “new wave” is following the “new wave” and rushing forward in the torrent of the times.
Scientific use of troops
——On the front line of flood prevention and disaster relief, we will hone the elite troops who can fight well
Water surface, three sets of belt-type door bridges operate alternately, and sand, gravel and clay are delivered quickly; on the shore, the militia team operates sonar and tracks and monitors the situation of the underwater gate; in the air, drones fly to key areas of the embankment and continue to conduct remote monitoring; on the side of the backslope, 153 large mechanical equipment such as excavators and bulldozers quickly excavate and pile up stones, and rush to build a temporary cofferdam… On July 26, the Daijia Lake Grid Gate in Yingshang County, Fuyang, Anhui Province was washed away by the flood, and the situation was extremely critical. Officers and soldiers of a brigade of the Eastern Theater Command Army were ordered to go out to fight, carry professional rescue equipment, and work with brothers to launch a gate seal.
Unlike the scene where thousands of troops join forces and hold hands and block the breaking point, this year, in the fight against the flood, from meteorological and hydrological forecasting to flood prevention monitoring and early warning, from drone infrared reconnaissance to command and dispatch of various information platforms… a series of new equipment appeared on the front line of flood prevention and disaster relief, becoming the “vanguard weapon” for flood fighting warriors to subdue flood demons.
It is not only equipment, but also personnel that change.
In mid-July, severe floods occurred in Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province. Under the coordination of the Eastern Theater Command to support the flood control and rescue forward command post in Jiangxi, a group of troops including a combined brigade of the Army, a local guide brigade of the Air Force, a division of the Aviation Force, a unit of the Rocket Force, a Jiangxi Provincial Military Region, a Jiujiang Detachment of the Armed Police, and the General Hospital of the Eastern Theater Command quickly assembled and rushed to rescue. The troops wearing different armbands divided their labor in an orderly manner for the same goal and fought against Jiujiang.
The officers and soldiers of a combined brigade of the Army that arrived first divided their troops to guard 11 dangerous points, fought for 15 consecutive days, and blocked 255 pipe surges; the flood control team of a certain division of the aviation corps rushed to Jiangzhou Town surrounded by water on all sides, and stood firm on the embankment day and night to ensure safety; the medical epidemic prevention and rescue team of the Eastern Theater Command General Hospital visited 149 batches, with a journey of tens of thousands of kilometers…
organized rescue and disaster relief like commanding war, reflecting the new atmosphere brought to the Ministry of Deepening National Defense and Military Reform.
Be prepared for full plans, be prepared for strong abilities, and be prepared for sufficient strength. Since the beginning of the flood season, the Hubei Provincial Military Region has scientifically analyzed the flood prevention situation and took the lead in organizing 19 task forces to convene flood control and rescue meetings for the troops stationed in Hubei, and coordinated 29,000 people in advance, professional and mobile units to prepare for the three types of troops, forming heavy troops and heavy equipment to persevere.Two rivers, five lakes, ten reservoirs, fifteen rivers,” militia and reserve personnel keep an eye on the military force of small and medium rivers and small reservoirs, and gain the initiative to effectively respond to floods and disasters.
Use recent forces, first professional forces, and make good use of new qualities. Faced with the urgent disaster relief situation in many places such as Sichuan, Chongqing and Gansu, Komiks 1960 witch clothes drawThe Western Theater Command Joint Command Center performs its duties, coordinates professional forces to conduct reconnaissance in a timely manner, accurately dispatch professional forces such as land aeronautics, engineers, and medical care to reinforce the most severely affected areas, organizes and dispatches communication support, meteorological and hydrology and other troops to ensure smooth command at all times.
Coordinate the use of troops, scientific use of troops, and rational use of troops. At the joint command of all military and local governments in flood control and rescue, the Eastern Theater Command and the Central Theater Command connect with the State Flood Control and Rescue Department and relevant local departments, and scientifically integrates the Cinema 1950 witch clothes draw prepares troops, commands the tasks ahead and the officers and soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army, Armed Police Force and militia forces in flood control and disaster relief, give full play to the advantages of the joint combat command system, connect the command link to the end of the front line of rivers, lakes and dams, and distributes dangerous information to all levels of the military and local governments as soon as possible to share and use.
Witness of the surging floods, and witnesses of the military flags, and has experienced reform and reshaping. In order to complete the new era mission and tasks entrusted by the Party and the people, the people’s soldiers always remember the sacred duty of carrying guns for the people and fighting for the people, comprehensively improve their ability to perform missions and tasks, and always make it possible to come when called, fight when coming, and win when fighting.
She is in the same boat when fighting over and over again.
Soldiers build embankments on the front line of flood control, and the people build a backer behind the soldiers
“The soldiers cannot let the soldiers leave quietly! “Twenty-two years ago, the people’s soldiers vowed to defend Jiujiang City to the death. Jiujiang citizens wanted to give their soldiers a grand farewell, but were worried that the troops would leave late at night, so they spontaneously organized themselves to take turns to “on duty” near the army camp.
22 years later, Jiujiang was still sending their children again. This time, the troops retreated quietly.
At 6:00 on July 27, when the people who saw off came to a camp of a flood control force, they were empty. In the drizzle, many people burst into tears: “They guarded the embankment for us and protected us. When we left, we didn’t have time to send them away. It was a pity. ”
“The roots of the people’s army are deeply rooted in the deep land of the people; the great power of people’s war comes from the great power of the people. “The army takes the people to heart, and the people keep the army in their hearts. During flood fighting and rescue, the soldiers built embankments on the front line, and the people built a backer behind the soldiers.
This backer is full of true feelings-
The army wins battles, and the people are backers! Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei, SichuanParty committees at all levels in Henan, Gansu, Chongqing and other provinces and cities, and give full play to the advantages of the coordination mechanism of supporting the military and supporting the front and local governments, and provide logistics support for flood control and rescue troops.
Anhui Provincial Double Support Office issued the “Notice on Doing a Good Job in Supporting the Army during the Flood Control and Rescue Period”, mobilizing and organizing social forces to carry out military support and condolences activities on the front line of flood control. When visiting and condolences to the front-line officers and soldiers of the flood fighting, the leaders of the Henan Provincial Party Committee said emotionally: “With their children and soldiers, the people are very at ease.”
The officers and soldiers of the troops are fighting on the front-line for flood fighting, and the local government actively organizes providing daily necessities and accommodation guarantees for flood fighting officers and soldiers. The Party Committee and Government of Banan District, Chongqing have set up emergency rescue and disaster relief materials guarantee points on the front line of flood control to facilitate flood control officers and militia to receive disaster relief materials and eat; the Gannan Prefecture Government of Gansu Province and Zhouqu County Government actively provide many convenient conditions for the accommodation, food and large-scale machinery transportation of troops; Xinyang City, Henan Province arranges factories with better conditionsKomiks 1960 witch clothes, and the school serves as camps for flood control officers and soldiers, and will facilitate Komiks 1960 witch clothes drawFood, medical supplies and other condolence materials were delivered to the flood control embankment as soon as possible; the Jiujiang City and County levels in Jiangxi sent liaison officers to the stations of each flood control force to provide precise daily necessities for flood control officers and soldiers in a timely manner; the leaders of Huainan City, Anhui Province condolences to the officers and soldiers who successfully completed the flood control and rescue mission, and presented them with the banner of “The military and civilians’ deep love for the rain and water, and the same boat for the flood control and storm”.
“Care for us as you treat your loved ones.” Heartwarming scenes of local party committees and governments supporting the troops in fighting floods are engraved in the hearts of flood fighters.
This backer radiates light and heat—Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw
The officers and soldiers fighting on the front line of flood control in the Yangtze River received 22 tons of “military support vegetables” sent by veteran volunteers from Wei County, Hebei Province thousands of miles away; officers and soldiers fighting in Feixi, Anhui received more than 800 pairs of socks sent by teachers and students of Shaanxi Police College thousands of miles away, each pair of socks was carefully embroidered on them: “Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawAugust 1″ and “peaceful”; officers and soldiers of a brigade of the Rocket Force who fought against floods in Poyang Lake received a cross-provincial fruit takeaway. The brigade officers and soldiers found the Shandong Linyi girl who placed the order through the order and returned the money to her, but the persistent aunt Babaylan 1990 cloth draw ordered mineral water and sent it over.
This backer hides its great power – “Wearing in a new military uniform, I feel very caring and warm!” In late July, the Eastern Theater Command Army Support Department passed China Post to mail 96,400 pieces (sets) of flood control officers and soldiers’ urgently needed materials on the front line of flood control and rescue through China Post. Postal mailers with slogans such as “Military and civilians work together to build homes” quickly drove to the flood control troops stationed, delivering materials to point to point, and solving the urgent need for officers and soldiers who were seriously damaged in their clothes and shoes to stick to the embankment and fight continuously.
On the embankment, scenes of military and civilians standing together through thick and thinCinema 1950 witch cloth draw, stories of military and civilians watching and helping each other, allowing this army to feel warmth from the affection and kindness of the people and draw strength to overcome difficulties from the full support of the people.
This warmth and power also once again show an irrefutable truth: “The military and civilians are united as one person, let’s see who can compete in the world.” No matter how the times develop and how the situation changes, the people’s army has always been a soldier trusted, supported and loved by the people.
The practice of the People’s Army in playing the role of assault teams in the flood prevention and disaster relief battlefield tells us that only by always adhering to the people’s standpoint and winning the heartfelt support of the vast majority of the people, and with the will of the people, the people’s will, and the strength of the people, can the People’s Army be invincible and build a wall to resist any risks and challenges!
