Guarding the Lights of Every Family with Loyalty and Responsibility | People | Guarding
In recent times, extreme rainfall has occurred in North China, Huanghuai, Northeast China and other regions, resulting in severe geological disasters such as floods and waterlogging.
Continuously fighting and resolutely completing the tasks assigned by the Party and the people
On August 8th, the water level in the Taitou section of the Daqing River and Ziya River in the Haihe River Basin continued to rise. Minsheng Village, Taitou Town, Jinghai District, Tianjin City, is only one embankment away from the flood. The several kilometer embankment, along with the reinforced embankment of the Daqing River, forms an important barrier to protect four villages including Minsheng Village.
More than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Iron Army Brigade of the 82nd Group Army of the Central Theater Command braved the wind and rain to reinforce the embankment of this over 8 kilometer long river. Before carrying out this mission, this brigade had been fighting for several days in the Baigouhe mission area of Hebei Province. Upon hearing that the flood situation in Tianjin is severe, the officers and soldiers have once again requested to go on a campaign.
Guarding is a firm commitment of the people's soldiers. At critical moments, the vast number of officers and soldiers bravely shoulder heavy responsibilities, are not afraid of fatigue, continue to fight, and resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the Party and the people.
They stood firm on the front line, using their bodies to resist the surging flood——
Multiple river water level alarms in Heilongjiang Province. "The flood will not recede, we will not retreat!" On the flood prevention embankment along the Mudanjiang River, officers and soldiers of a certain brigade of the Air Force of the Northern Theater Command stepped forward to reinforce the embankment and build a safety barrier for the people.
They are not afraid of danger and use their lives to protect the safety of the people——
In order to transfer the affected population to a safe area, the People's Armed Forces Department of Shulan City, Jilin Province organized more than 60 militiamen to form an assault team and braved heavy rain to advance into the disaster area of Jinma Town. Political Commissar Zhou Kunxun of the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces was involved in a torrential flood while rescuing trapped people, and bravely sacrificed himself.
They raced against time to clear the path of rescue for the masses——
Many villages in Zhuolu County, Hebei Province were flooded due to mountain torrents caused by rainstorm. A certain industrial and chemical brigade of the 81st Group Army rushed to the disaster area overnight to carry out a rescue mission. During the rescue, multiple blockages on the main road were cleared, successfully restoring traffic to the village.
Wherever there is danger, there is the presence of Communist Party members. In recent days, various task forces have fully utilized the role of grassroots party organizations as battle fortresses, and the vast number of party members have charged forward and fought on the front line.
"Now we need a new force to jump into the water and build sandbags with me. Who will come?" Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, was hit by continuous rainfall. As the water level rose and the dam was about to pass, Jia Hongyun, the deputy commander of the Mudanjiang Detachment of the People's Armed Police Heilongjiang Corps, mobilized officers and soldiers to form an assault team.
"I'm a party member, I'll go first!" "I'm coming!" The cries for help echoed through the embankment. In less than a while, a 20 member party member assault team was formed and they all jumped into the waist deep rapids, building a dam to protect the safety of the masses.
Eliminate difficulties and make every effort to ensure the safety of people's lives and property
Affected by heavy rainfall, roads in some villages in Shulan City, Jilin Province were blocked, communication was interrupted, and the disaster was severe. A certain brigade of the 78th Group Army of the Northern Theater Command dispatched over a thousand officers and soldiers to urgently carry out post disaster reconstruction tasks in Shulan City.
After the search and rescue team went deep into the heart of the disaster area, they found an elderly person with limited mobility stranded in the area. The rescue team immediately decided to escort the elderly person for transfer. The team members took turns carrying stretchers and walked for 5 hours on a 7-kilometer mountain road, their clothes already soaked through. After arriving at the safe area, the old man tightly held the hands of the team members and said, "Thank you to the People's Liberation Army. If you come, we won't be afraid anymore."
Serving the people wholeheartedly is the fundamental purpose of the People's Army. In recent days, officers and soldiers of various task forces have adhered to the principle of putting the people first and life first, bringing peace to the people.
In Mentougou District, Beijing, Zhu Pengyu, the platoon leader of a ground command unit of the Central Theater Command Air Force, went to a lost village to investigate the situation. The road collapsed along the way, and Zhu Pengyu and his comrades bravely accelerated their advance in the flood that covered their calves. The journey was difficult, but the officers and soldiers only had one thought in their hearts: to quickly understand the situation in the disaster area!
After flipping through several collapsed roads, we finally arrived at our destination. "If the People's Liberation Army comes, we will be saved!" The villagers exclaimed excitedly when they saw the PLA officers and soldiers wearing camouflage. At the end of the day, the total hiking distance of the three rescue teams of the battalion exceeded 130 kilometers, and a total of 19 villages were investigated. Several trapped people were rescued, and local authorities were assisted in restoring contact with all the lost villages in the town.
The People's Army is determined to be a strong force and assault team in flood control, rescue and disaster relief, and will do everything possible to overcome difficulties, fighting one battle after another.
"More than 90 people in Xiaoxiangtun are trapped in the highlands, and there is not enough food and drink left!" On August 6th, Qi Zhizhong, the leader of the Jilin Branch of the People's Armed Police Jilin Corps, who was carrying out search and rescue missions, received help and immediately organized officers and soldiers to go to Xiaoxiangtun in Kaiyuan Town, Shulan City. At this moment, Xiaoxiangtun is like an "isolated island", surrounded by turbulent waters over a hundred meters wide, posing great challenges to the transportation of goods.
Qi Zhizhong decisively proposed an air drop plan, and the drone operator Cao Chuanpeng immediately tested the wind and airworthiness, while other officers and soldiers worked together to transport supplies. Quickly, the drone arrived at the highlands with dozens of kilograms of supplies, completing the delivery of various types of food, drinking water, and medicine in just a few rounds.
"With one 'arrival', one will arrive for a lifetime." This is a solemn promise made by the vast number of retired soldiers. Recently, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs issued a notice on doing a good job in disaster relief and assistance for retired soldiers in severely affected areas, arranging and deploying the organization and mobilization of retired soldiers to actively participate in disaster relief and provide care and assistance for difficult retired soldiers.
In this flood prevention and relief work, many retired soldiers have not faded away, carrying the responsibility on their shoulders. Du Jianhua, the "Military Support Secretary" in Dayushu Village, Yanqing District, Beijing, immediately organized personnel to move the fallen tree to the roadside when he saw it affecting traffic. Despite being scratched by gravel and branches, he did not retreat. "I came from a military background, and at this time I must go!" Du Jianhua's words spoke out to the hearts of many retired soldiers.
Faced with a new round of heavy rainfall that Typhoon Kanu may bring to the Northeast region, the Air Force officers and soldiers of the Northern Theater Command are on high alert, carefully assessing the weather, and intensifying the development of multiple flight routes, ready to rush to the disaster stricken area to carry out emergency transportation and rescue missions at any time. "For the safety of the people's lives and property, the soldiers of the people are always ready to charge forward!" said Shi Jian, the commander of a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps in the Northern Theater Command.
Unity, Military and Civilian Work Together to Restore Order in Production and Life
"I'll give you the cleanest classroom. Study hard, come on!" On August 10th, after completing the dredging task of Jinma Town Central School in Shulan City, the militia of Jilin Military Region left this line on the blackboard of the classroom for the students.
In recent times, the Jilin Provincial Military Region has mobilized militia across regions to support the reconstruction of disaster stricken areas, organized militia to support cities such as Shulan, Yushu, and Fuyu, and undertaken tasks such as dredging, transportation of materials, and construction of damaged embankments. "If we work more, the masses can go home early," said Li Jingkai, the head of the Military Department of the People's Armed Forces Department in Huadian City.
Military and civilians work hand in hand, sailing together in the wind and rain. The flood receded, and the affected people gradually returned to their homes. The military and civilians joined forces to carry out dredging and drainage work as soon as possible, helping the people to restore normal production and life order as soon as possible.
In Zhuozhou City, the officers and soldiers of the Hebei Armed Police Corps are fully committed to the dredging task. On Tengfei Street, officers and soldiers use loaders, dump trucks, washing and decontamination vehicles, spraying vehicles and other equipment to clean the road and disinfection and sterilization the environment. After several hours of hard work, this street was able to regain its smoothness. Subsequently, the officers and soldiers spared no effort and devoted themselves to the dredging task at other locations.
Under the guidance of the Military Region of Hebei Province, Zhuozhou People's Armed Forces Department recently mobilized more than 5000 militiamen every day to participate in sanitary cleaning, sludge cleaning, environmental disinfection and sterilization, material transfer and living security of resettlement sites. "Every militia has the responsibility to protect and build their homeland, and military and civilians in various regions are tirelessly working to restore production and living order as soon as possible," said the relevant person in charge of the People's Armed Forces Department of Zhuozhou City.
On August 8th, in Shahezi Town, Wuchang City, Heilongjiang Province, the militia member Liang Huan who participated in flood control and disaster relief was injured. After medical personnel from the 962nd Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force learned about the situation, they immediately helped him treat the wound. During the flood prevention and disaster relief period, the hospital urgently mobilized personnel from departments such as dermatology, orthopedics, and gastroenterology to form two medical teams, providing medical services to rescue personnel and disaster affected populations. In response to situations such as scratches, sprains, rashes, and heatstroke that are prone to occur during the rescue and disaster relief process, medical personnel use the break time to carry out health protection education.
At present, various task forces are still fighting on the front line of flood prevention and disaster relief, fully supporting the disaster area to restore normal production and life order as soon as possible, and helping more and more disaster affected people return to their homes. Through practical actions, it has been proven that the People's Army always breathes with the people, shares a common destiny, and is heart to heart.
