When flash floods occur, time is of the essence. Faced with the critical situation of hundreds of villagers in six natural villages in Jiangwan Town, Shaoguan, a team of armed police officers and soldiers bravely stepped forward and carried out life-and-death search and rescue after many difficulties. With their fearless heroism, they interpreted the responsibility and responsibility of the people's soldiers.
In the early morning of April 23, heavy rain caused six natural villages, including Zhongwu and Zengwu, to which Liangwu belongs in Jiangwan Town, to lose contact with the outside world for more than 70 hours.
The more severe the situation, the more urgent the rescue becomes. Upon hearing the news, the Shaoguan Detachment of the Guangdong Armed Police Corps immediately dispatched 10 officers and men to form a search and rescue team.
Not far from the village, the officers and soldiers saw a scene full of devastation: roads had collapsed and traffic had been cut off, mud was pouring all over the village, and the once quiet countryside was like an ocean. But none of this could stop their determination to rescue.
"Not afraid is fake, but the braver you are, the more you can protect the masses." So said one of the fighters. In the face of danger, they did not retreat, but moved forward with a more tenacious will. It was so difficult that the officers and men even had to cut down tree branches to pave the way, and carefully groped their way through the turbulent rivers and mudslides.
During the search and rescue journey, the soldiers always had a sense of reverence for life. Once the villagers showed signs of being buried or trapped, the officers and soldiers quickly launched a search and rescue operation.
Day and night, they excavated the site, called on the villagers, and probed the stock of supplies. Gradually, more villagers showed up safely, and the crisis finally eased.
"Seeing you coming, our hearts are finally relieved. One of the villagers said excitedly to the soldiers. Such gratitude and trust are the greatest support and motivation.
In addition to carrying out search and rescue, maintaining the basic livelihood of the villagers is also a top priority. Zhang Yongjian coordinated with the village cadres to do everything possible to meet the material needs of the villagers, and made a good mark for the follow-up airdrop rescue. At the same time, the fighters also helped the villagers to clean up the mud and restore order in production and life.
After several days of unremitting efforts, as of 24 July, the officers and men had basically completed the reconnaissance and search and rescue tasks, and the villagers had been moved to safety one after another. After retiring, they rushed into road repairs to clear the last obstacle on the road for the passage of large vehicles.
For this armed police officer and soldier detachment, life-and-death search and rescue is just a duty.
It is with the bravery of birth and death that ordinary soldiers write extraordinary power. Such a fearless spirit is precisely the glorious character of the people's soldiers in the new era.
In the face of disasters, we should face danger and be fearless in the face of danger like these armed police soldiers. Whether on the battlefield or in peacetime, the mission of defending the country should be shouldered bravely.
Defending peace with one's life and creating tranquility with might is the true patriotic feeling. Let us learn and inherit this fearless spirit together, and write a heroic hymn to the new era with practical actions.
