In the past few days, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, has suffered several rounds of heavy rainfall, and communications have been interrupted in some areas, and serious geological disasters such as flash floods, mudslides, and landslides have occurred, threatening the safety of people's lives and property. After the disaster occurred, officers and men of a certain army aviation brigade of the 74th Group Army submitted petitions one after another, applying to go to the front line and to go to the most serious places in the disaster.
After formally receiving the order from the superiors, the brigade quickly dispatched a number of transport helicopters and dozens of capable troops to the front line of disaster relief and undertook the tasks of transporting personnel and delivering materials.
In view of the characteristics of the high mountains and dense dense weather in the mission area, the officers and men of the brigade's flood control and rescue command group and some ground advance detachments braved the rain to arrive at the mission area first, and immediately carried out the work of setting up communications, planning routes, studying and judging meteorology, and conducting on-the-spot surveys in view of the characteristics of the mission area, so as to keep abreast of the disaster situation of the people and make preparations for going to the front line to rescue at any time.
After all the troops were in place, the brigade immediately threw itself into the rescue operation, relying on a certain airport and the helicopter field take-off and landing points opened up in the early stage to carry out reconnaissance of the terrain and disaster relief progress in the disaster area, and the pilots overcame the adverse conditions in the mission area, such as dense mountains and complex meteorological conditions, and went deep into the core area most severely affected to carry out reconnaissance operations, so as to prepare for the follow-up bad weather and related tasks.
At present, the Zhanlan Eagle Air Rescue Detachment is still fighting on the front line of flood fighting, emergency rescue, and disaster relief, and its officers and men are not afraid of hardships and difficulties, and they have displayed a good image of the iron and steel unit as obeying the party's command, being able to win battles, and having a fine work style.
According to the meteorological forecast, in the next few days, the affected areas will once again usher in another round of heavy rainfall, and the brigade command group is leading the officers and men of the mission to step up their efforts to study and judge the relevant situation and be ready to deal with more complex weather and tasks at any time.
