"It is important to evacuate all residents before the rainstorm comes. On April 25, Nandu reporters learned from the Guangdong Armed Police Corps that after receiving news that there would be a new round of heavy rainfall on the evening of the 24th, Jiangwan Town, Shaoguan City, decided to evacuate all residents. The officers and men of the Shaoguan detachment of the armed police entered the village in advance in the early morning to transfer the masses, blocked the strong wind with their bodies, and carried the old man on his back to the rescue helicopter. On the 24th, the officers and men of the detachment assisted in the transfer of more than 600 people to the outside world, and grabbed 7.2 kilometers of roads.

At 6 a.m., all the officers and men set off with dry rations

"It is important to evacuate all residents before the rainstorm comes. "At 13:35 on April 24, just after attending the joint command meeting, Yang Zhong, captain of the Shaoguan detachment of the Guangdong Armed Police Corps, ran to the forward command post to inquire about the progress of the mass transfer.

According to the forecast of the meteorological department, from the evening of the 24th, there will be a new round of heavy rainfall in Guangdong Province. Due to the continuous heavy rainfall in the affected areas in the early stage, the soil moisture content is extremely high, which is easy to lead to secondary disasters, in order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, the local government decided to evacuate all residents of Jiangwan Town.

The transfer is carried out in advance. "At 6 o'clock in the morning, before dawn, all the officers and soldiers took dry rations and set off to evacuate the masses in various villages. In addition to sending 60 people to Liangwu Village, the most serious situation, 30 troops were sent to Guoxi Village, Weiping Village, and Jiangwan Central Primary School, and 40 troops were sent to Huwu Village.

Chief of Staff Yan Ji Chonggang led people to transfer the last 40 people from the eight natural villages under the jurisdiction of Huwu Village. In the forward command post, Wang Chuang, head of the reconnaissance unit, walked to the map to report the progress of the transfer, "Some people are reluctant to evacuate, especially some elderly people who refuse to leave. An elderly man in his 90s in Huwu Village was so frail that he refused to leave his home where he had lived for decades, no matter how much he persuaded him. ”

"The old man has his concerns, but we must find a way to persuade him to evacuate, after all, talent is the most important thing. Yang Zhong's words were categorical. He immediately called the satellite phone to the search team in the village, and asked them to work with the cadres of the nearby village committee and emergency rescue personnel to do ideological work for the elderly.

In the morning, we assisted in the helicopter transfer of 23 batches of more than 230 people

It is not easy to get through the ideological work, "even if we trek through mountains and rivers and overcome thorns and thorns, we must bring the masses safely to the transfer point." Lai Liang, head of the propaganda and defense unit of the detachment that assisted in transporting the masses in Weiping, said.

From Liangwu to Wudong, there are 9 large collapse points on the road that is only 2 kilometers long, and it will definitely be too late to enter and transfer when the machine opens the road. Yang Zhong immediately decided to send 40 troops into the village on foot to search and transfer, and coordinated the joint assignment to send a helicopter for transfer.

"Stand up! Draw closer to me! Li Liang, deputy squadron leader of the special operations squadron, issued instructions to the squadron fighters in sign language. With the rescue helicopter slowly landing, the huge roar of the engine made everyone present seem to lose their hearing for a short time. Li Liang used a skillful set of tactical sign language maneuvers to assemble the troops, and at this moment, their task was to assist the helicopter in moving the crowd.

"In just one morning, we assisted in the helicopter transfer of 23 groups of more than 230 people. Yan Mingming, the head of the combat logistics planning unit in charge of the transfer mission at Jiangwan Middle School, was taking on this kind of task for the first time, and he was almost blown down by the wind when he stood under the propeller for the first time as he had no experience. ”

Yan Mingming said that considering that the wind was too strong when the helicopter took off and landed, he asked the officers and soldiers to line up in a row to block the wind for the masses when landing, surrounded the masses during the transfer, and quickly moved to the helicopter, "This not only speeds up the transfer, but also minimizes the panic of the masses." ”

Carrying a deaf and dumb man in his sixties onto the helicopter

Among the transferred crowd, an old man about 60 years old attracted the attention of the soldier Li Chuanhong. The old man had inconvenient legs and feet, and looked at the crowd around him with a blank expression. "Uncle, you have inconvenient legs and feet, I'll carry you. Li Chuanhong stepped forward to communicate, but the old man pointed to his ears and waved his hand.

After confirming with the relatives next to the old man, it was learned that this was a deaf and mute old man with no children and no daughters. Seeing this, Li Chuanhong immediately picked up the old man and boarded the helicopter and handed him a piece of bread. Looking at the bread in his hand, the old man showed a look of embarrassment, it turned out that the old man's teeth had already fallen out, and the bread was a little difficult for him to eat. Li Chuanhong tore the bread into small pieces and put it in a bag and handed it to the old man, looking at the bread in his hand, the old man's eyes moistened......

"Seeing the safe evacuation of the masses makes sense of what we have done. Yan Mingming laughed unconsciously. He remembered that when he went to Jiangwan Central Primary School to assist in the helicopter evacuation of the crowd, someone suddenly shouted, "The officers and men of the armed police are coming, please don't panic." The restless crowd fell silent in an instant. "After getting on the helicopter, the crowd waved to us, and some even saluted us, the masses trust us so much, we must persevere to the end to ensure the safety of people's lives. ”

"Once the crowd was safely moved, we evacuated. "At 17:30 on the 24th, the officers and soldiers who had completed the task planned to evacuate. Yang Zhong said, "We must not only ensure the safety of the people's lives, but also bring every comrade-in-arms back safely." "As night fell, torrential rain poured down, and the officers and soldiers who had finished transporting the masses marched in the direction of Shaoguan City.

It is reported that on the 24th, the Shaoguan detachment of the armed police inspected more than 500 houses, searched more than 3,000 rooms, assisted in the transfer of more than 600 people, grabbed 7.2 kilometers of roads, cleaned up more than 5,000 cubic meters of silt, and waded to transfer 5 trapped people.
