Recently, Pingjiang County, Yueyang, Hunan Province, suffered the longest-lasting, most intense and most rainfall flood since meteorological records, and many places were ravaged by floods and seriously affected.
On July 1, the Yueyang Blue Sky Rescue Team rushed to the front line to participate in the transfer and rescue, and they witnessed a number of great self-rescue and mutual rescue: three men held a pregnant woman with one hand and a thin sheet with the other, and persevered in the two-and-a-half-meter-deep raging flood for more than three hours until they were rescued; Two men were trapped due to a landslide, one of them injured his foot, and the two supported each other, lit a fire, looked for food in the field, and persevered in the heavy rain in the mountains all night......
On July 3, the reporter talked to Chen Hua, the founder and captain of the Yueyang Blue Sky Rescue Team, and his team member Liu Jun, and listened to them tell the above exciting stories of self-rescue and rescue.
The rescue team rotated for three days in a row
Chen Hua has been sleeping for three days as the flood control commander of the Yueyang Blue Sky Rescue Team, and his team member Liu Jun praises him as an "iron man". At present, the "iron man" is still continuing to arrange and direct the follow-up work to ensure that the rescue is carried out in an orderly manner, "Now that the flood has receded, from July 2 to now, our team members have been divided into two teams and are still carrying out rescue work." ”
Chen Hua introduced, "A team went to Maotian Town, Yueyang County, and a cadre in the town was washed away and lost contact during the flood control, and we dispatched a part of the force to search and rescue, responsible for the search of 5 kilometers of water, and the other team went to Hongqiao Town, because we received a request for help from a villager, and their two family members did not go home at night and could not be contacted, so I immediately led the team here." ”
Due to the landslides on both sides of a section of the road near Hongqiao Town, which destroyed the way for the two villagers to go home, and the mobile phone signal was also cut off, Chen Hua could only contact the team members through the walkie-talkie in the town," On the evening of July 2, the team members searched along the road of the collapse on foot overnight, and found the two of them this morning, and the personnel were safe, but one of them had a foot injury. ”
When they found the two villagers, their mutual aid spirit and survival experience made Chen Hua admire, "When they went to walk the road of the collapse last night, one of them fell down from the place of the collapse and injured his foot, and the other person in order to take care of him, he walked with two people, and it rained heavily that night, so they wanted to find a place to hide from the rain and bandage the wound, they first found a shed, and the two of them made a fire, and also made something to eat in the field. Our team went over and found them and rescued them. ”
Chen Hua said that on July 4, they will assist the foundation in the distribution and distribution of disaster relief materials, "tomorrow I will connect with various foundations to see where there is an urgent need, and coordinate with them generators and medicines such as trauma, antidiarrheal, and epidemic prevention and sanitization." ”
Referring to the continuous rotation of the past few days, Chen Hua told reporters, "The team members who have slept the most in the past three days have only slept for seven or eight hours, and I basically haven't slept much, and I will let everyone have a good rest tonight, because the search and rescue here in Hongqiao Town is over, and we are ready to rest in Hongqiao Town, eat a good meal first, and everyone sleep first." ”
Three men lifted pregnant women for more than three hours in a two-and-a-half-metre flood water
Liu Jun, a veteran member of the Yueyang Blue Sky Rescue Team and has been part of the team for 10 years, told reporters a story that made him feel "the first time in his life" during the rescue.
"At about three o'clock in the afternoon of July 1, we rushed to the rescue site in Pingjiang and immediately drove the assault boat into the alley of the old city, that is, the East Street of Chengguan Town. ”
As soon as they entered the street, Liu Jun and another teammate heard a resident shouting loudly, "We couldn't understand what they were shouting, so we could only respond to them over and over again, 'Don't worry, we're coming', but they were so excited, I could only say that I couldn't understand their dialect, so they desperately pointed down, and I only understood them saying 'help', 'soon', 'hurry up'." ”
Liu Jun and his teammates quickly drove the boat in the direction of the resident's finger, only to find a bed sheet hanging on the window under the downstairs of a building, three men and a young woman desperately pulling the sheet, "They were washed by water at a corner, one of them was a couple, the woman was three or four months pregnant, the sheet happened to be hanging on the window, the three men have been protecting the pregnant woman better, all in front of her to support her, and the other hand was pulling the sheet." ”
When the assault boat drove very close to the people, Liu Jun noticed, "Her face and lips have changed color, and we leaned over to them and didn't make any moves, so I knew that they must have hypothermia." ”
Without thinking, Liu Jun immediately jumped off the assault boat, and the flood went over his head at once, "I didn't expect the water to be so deep, the water flooded the top of my head and my feet didn't hit the ground, so I immediately choked on a mouthful of water, and the water smelled of sewers." He ignored the choking water, and immediately surfaced and swam to the pregnant woman, "She lost her temperature so badly that she didn't make any sound and kept crying, I swam next to her and did work for a while, she has been unable to cooperate with me, and she has lost her temperature to the point that she is not very conscious." ”
Liu Jun immediately made a decision, stretched his arm under the pregnant woman's armpit to hug her, swam to the side of the assault boat, carefully protected the pregnant woman, and the teammates on the boat immediately reached out to pull the pregnant woman onto the assault boat.
After successfully rescuing several men into the assault boat, the pregnant woman's husband kept saying "Thank you for saving your life": "He told me that his wife's emotions were on the verge of collapse, and several times she said that she was going to give up and didn't want to pull the sheets, and it was three men who held her up, and the three men also said that if they were a minute late, they would not be able to hold on." ”
Liu Jun was deeply moved by the behavior of the three men, "At that time, the water flow speed was very fast, and the human body lost temperature much faster in the water than on the ground, and they also had a hard time pulling the sheets, and they were still holding individuals, and they were already very strong for more than three hours to be honest." ”
Liu Jun sighed, "We have experienced a lot of flood transport and rescue, this is the first time we have encountered a dying life and been rescued by us, I feel that if we don't go, they will really die, and it really pulls them back from the ghost gate." ”
