This sudden disaster caused the local people to fall into anxiety and panic.
As the saying goes, "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat", the threat of floods is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head, which may take people's lives and property at any time.
However, at this critical moment, a thrilling blockade battle is about to be staged.
Is it really impossible for water experts to complete a task that they estimated would take six or seven days to complete ahead of schedule?
In the face of monstrous waves, can our soldiers create another miracle?
1. The "slap in the face" moment between expert prediction and reality
On June 15, local time, after careful calculations and on-site investigations, water conservancy experts solemnly announced: "According to the current situation, it will take at least six to seven days to close the gap in the Dongting Lake embankment." "
This news undoubtedly poured cold water on the anxiously waiting masses.
However, it turns out that sometimes human potential cannot be measured by conventional thinking.
While the experts were still discussing the blockade plan, our heroic armed police officers and men had already begun intensive preparations.
They know that every minute and every second is related to the safety of thousands of families.
As a result, a blocking war against time began.
2. Iron will makes miracles
The officers and men of the armed police have demonstrated amazing executive and innovative capabilities.
They fought day and night on the front line, building a human wall against the flood with their flesh and blood.
In just two days, they completed what was expected to take a week to complete, creating an impressive "China speed".
How exactly does this steel powerhouse do it? Let's take a look at their "winning formula":
a) Scientific co-ordination, every second counts
The People's Armed Police Force has adopted the strategy of "blitzkrieg", which perfectly combines large machinery and equipment with manpower.
According to the characteristics of the terrain, they formulated a detailed operation plan and divided the plugging work into several groups to carry out at the same time.
Each group has a clear division of tasks, which ensures maximum productivity.
b) Innovative thinking and adaptation to local conditions
In the face of complex terrain and hydrological conditions, the officers and men of the armed police showed amazing creativity.
They used local materials to skillfully use nearby sand, gravel, trees and other materials to plug the work.
This not only saves transportation time, but also greatly improves the plugging effect.
c) Solidarity and cooperation
In this contest against the floods, the officers and men of the armed police showed a touching spirit of unity.
They help each other and take turns on duty to ensure that the plugging work is carried out 24 hours a day.
Even in the face of harsh weather conditions and huge physical pressure, they still stuck to their posts and interpreted the spirit of "one side is in trouble, all sides support" with practical actions.
d) Technology empowerment, twice the result with half the effort
The People's Armed Police Force has also made full use of modern scientific and technological means.
They use drones for real-time monitoring to identify weak links in a timely manner; Using the GPS positioning system, the plugging material is accurately delivered; Use big data analysis to optimize the blocking plan.
The application of these high-tech means has greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of the plugging work.
3. The blockade was successful, and the cheers shook the sky
At 22:35 on June 17, as the last truck of sand and gravel was dumped into the gap, the Dongting Lake embankment was finally blocked.
Deafening cheers erupted at the scene, and the officers and men of the armed police hugged each other tightly, their faces filled with the joy of victory.
At this moment, they not only defeated the flood, but also defeated themselves.
However, our heroes did not bask in the joy of victory.
They know that closing the levee is just the beginning of a new era.
Next, there are more livelihood issues waiting for them to solve.
4. There is a long way to go in people's livelihood work
When the floodwaters receded, they left behind a devastated area.
How to help the affected people rebuild their homes, how to restore agricultural production, and how to prevent the spread of epidemics...... These are all issues that need to be addressed urgently.
The officers and men of the armed police immediately plunged into the post-disaster reconstruction work.
They helped people clean up the mud, repair houses, disinfect and prevent epidemics, and distribute relief supplies.
Their figure has become the most beautiful scenery in the disaster area.
At the same time, governments at all levels have moved quickly.
They organized a team of experts to assess the situation, develop a reconstruction plan, and coordinate resources.
All sectors of society have also extended a helping hand, donated money and materials, and contributed their own strength to the reconstruction of the disaster area.
5. Reflection and Enlightenment
The Dongting Lake breach closure incident not only created a miracle, but also left us with deep thoughts:
a) The gap between the expert's forecast and the actual situation
There is a big gap between the predictions of water conservancy experts and the actual situation, which raises questions about the authority of experts.
But we also need to understand that the complexity and unpredictability of natural disasters make accurate predictions extremely difficult.
In the future, we need to establish a more complete early warning mechanism to improve the accuracy of forecasting.
b) The importance of emergency response capacity
The efficient execution demonstrated by the officers and men of the armed police highlights the importance of emergency response capabilities.
In the face of emergencies, rapid response and efficient execution can often play a decisive role.
This enlightens us that we should strengthen emergency drills and improve the coordination and response capabilities of various departments.
c) The power of scientific and technological innovation
In this blockade operation, scientific and technological means played an important role.
This reminds us that we need to increase investment in scientific and technological innovation, apply advanced technology to disaster prevention and mitigation, and improve our ability to respond to natural disasters.
d) A spirit of solidarity and cooperation
Whether it is the cooperation between the officers and men of the armed police, or the cooperation between the government, the army, and the people, it all shows that unity is strength.
This spirit deserves to be carried forward in our future work and life.
e) Cultivating awareness of disaster prevention
The incident also exposed the lack of awareness of disaster preparedness among some people.
In the future, we will step up the popularization of disaster prevention knowledge and enhance the people's awareness of disaster prevention and their ability to help themselves.
6. Heroic hymns, immortal
In this contest against the flood, our armed police officers and soldiers used their sweat and even their lives to explain what a real hero is.
They are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and charge ahead; They gave up their small homes for everyone, demonstrating the responsibility and responsibility of soldiers.
Let us pay our highest respects to these loveliest people! They are the heroes of the new era, the guardians of the people, and the brightest stars in the era of peace!
[I have to say] heroes don't ask where they come from, and hymns will be passed on forever
The battle on the shore of Dongting Lake was not only a successful flood relief operation, but also a stirring heroic hymn.
It tells us that in times of crisis, there is always a group of people who are willing to stand up and use their strength to protect the peace of others.
This kind of spirit is the foundation of our nation's endless growth and passing on the torch from generation to generation.
Let us remember the extraordinary heroes in these ordinary positions, inherit their spirit of selfless dedication, and jointly build a better and safer home.
After all, heroic feats may only be temporary, but the inheritance of heroic spirit is eternal.
You and I encourage each other, walk hand in hand, let us compose a heroic hymn in the new era!
