"The flood in the flood discharge canal of Hezhou Village in xinhe town has affected the safety of 1 10,000 people and must be dealt with quickly." At 0/8 o'clock on July 3rd, Changning Disaster Relief Commando, which had been immersed in the flood for 22 hours, was once again ordered to move to the next "battlefield" under the leadership of Chen, political commissar of the Municipal People's Armed Forces Department and Tan Dungang.
Because the flood peak is coming, the water level of Xiangjiang River is soaring, and the river water in Hezhou Village of xinhe town continues to flow backward to drain the flood canal. More than 1 10,000 people in Hezhou, Wangxing and Xinchang villages are in danger. As the night gets deeper and deeper, if the raging flood is not controlled in time, the consequences will be unimaginable!
The safety of the masses is above everything else! 15 minutes later, a commando team composed of militia emergency detachment, armed police, firefighters, etc. 100 people, together with Hu Zhiwen, deputy mayor of Hengyang, director of public security, Liu Daxiang, secretary of Changning Municipal Party Committee, mayor Wu, and leading comrades such as Xu Qunguang, Zou and Lei Chuyun, rushed to the scene for disaster relief. As everyone rushed, the commandos carried heavy sandbags and quickly plunged into the intense rescue work. Cadres and the masses fought side by side to condense rain and sweat into a powerful force to fight the "flood".
Because the river is deep and the water is fast, sandbags are thrown in and washed away. The commandos raced against time to fill and transport sandbags, and they were soaked with sweat.
By 3: 25 am on the 4th, the commandos had finished dumping mud and sandbags and entered the stage of dumping stones. Eight truckloads of stones were dumped into the flood and sandbags were piled up. The disaster situation was basically controlled, and the danger hanging over tens of thousands of people was successfully lifted.
