At about 17:48 on July 5, the first-line embankment (pile number 19+800) of Dongting Lake in Tuanzhouyuan, Huarong County, Yueyang City broke the embankment, and the Hunan Armed Police Corps quickly adjusted the force and rushed to the front line to carry out rescue work. At about 20 o'clock, the first batch of more than 100 troops of the Hunan Armed Police Corps arrived at the Ermen Gate and Tuanhua Village in Qianlianghu Town, Junshan District, Yueyang City, to carry out flood fighting and rescue missions, and laid colored striped cloth along a dike on the south side of the Ermen Gate to protect the embankment.
Zhu Chaojun, a certain unit of the Hunan Armed Police Corps: After receiving the order, we moved from the direction of Yueyang County to the current area. First of all, it is necessary to go down to the bottom corner to clear the vegetation covering the stones, and the officers and men must constantly grope their way forward under the illumination of the headlamps before they can lay it. Only by holding the second dam can we protect more villages downstream.
As of 6 o'clock this morning, the officers and men of the armed police have successfully laid nearly 5 kilometers of colored striped cloth. At 6:24 a.m. on July 6, the militiamen of the Hunan Provincial Military Region continued to drive assault boats to search and rescue villages downstream of the Tuanzhou embankment. In the process of search and rescue, the militia used shouting, blowing whistles and other methods to carry out a "carpet" search and rescue around the houses in the water area to ensure that the trapped people could be found in time.
Wen Cheng, militia of Huarong County, Yueyang City, Hunan Province: We were the first militia to enter the embankment last night to search and rescue us. From last night to this morning, we have made a total of seven sorties, searched and rescued 14 people, and just now we have carried out a "carpet" search. At present, there are no more trapped people in the area behind me.
