Chapter 173: To the Front (3)

The water level has dropped, but the officers and soldiers and staff of the Longjiang Air Force Hospital have become busier.

Two field hospitals, nearly 30 kilometers apart, continue to treat civilians who have returned to their homes. Under the leadership of Vice President Shi and Director Kang of the expert group, some members of the epidemic prevention group, the security group, the propaganda group and the logistics group organized party members and cadres in the three townships to find water sources, disinfect and sterilize them, so as to prevent the spread of infectious diseases such as cholera, plague, and dysentery.

There were so many victims in the three townships and towns, and the regular medicines brought by the Air Force Hospital were quickly exhausted. Dean Tian was always staring behind the buttocks of Vice Mayor Qian, County Magistrate Lu and other leaders of the flood control headquarters, endlessly asking for bleaching powder, alum, and conventional drugs such as doxycycline, cotrimoxazole, and pyridoxine.

The eyes of the masses were bright, and although these PLA troops in white coats did not carry sacks to plug the leakage, they were still fighting by the river after the other troops withdrew. Hundreds of patients are admitted free of charge every day, and even in such a simple environment, they can perform some surgeries that even the township health centers can't do.

Because of this, under the strong order of the city leaders, the city and county hospital companies had to open the doors of the air force hospitals. The twelve trucks left behind finally came in handy, and Director Han first made up the base number of medicines before they came, and then moved boxes of medicines to the field hospital according to the list made by the medical team and the epidemic prevention team.

At the same time, Director Xia of the Political Department of the Air Force D Division, the permanent deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the 315 Factory and other condolences personnel came with supplies. To the surprise of Dean Tian, Zheng Xiaolan, who had just finished the college entrance examination, Wang Yaya, the daughter of Wang's political commissar, and Xiao Pepper also followed in camouflage uniforms.

After inspecting the camp of the Huangzhou Field Hospital, Director Xia walked into the tent accompanied by Dean Tian, Political Commissar Yang and Chairman Wu, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tian, your task has been completed well, not only the local political axe has given you credit, but even the old commander of the R Group Army has told you in front of Deputy Political Commissar Peng of the region. ”

"The division leaders and factory leaders have such high expectations for us, can we embarrass the leaders?" Dean Tian scratched his head and smiled smugly.

Deputy Secretary Chang sat down, pointed to the hospital staff who were busy outside, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tian, Political Commissar Yang, I think this flood relief medical security mission is not a bad thing for the hospital. Let's think about it, if you count the physical examination of candidates in Longjiang, the personnel of the two sides have fought three tough battles together. The comradeship of being like a brother has been cultivated, and the next merger and reorganization will come naturally. ”

"What's next?"

Director Xia turned around and said with a smile: "Deputy Secretary Chang, the fixed assets have been reorganized, the personnel relationship has also been transferred to the division hospital, and the merger and reorganization have been completed." ”

"Yes, yes, look at my last name."

Tian Wenjian was happy, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Two leaders, shouldn't I, the acting dean, be Xian?" ”

"Don't worry, what's the matter, I'll have to wait until this mission is completed."

Director Xia's face was straight, he took out a note from his pocket, and said very seriously: "This is the report I just received before I came, so far, in order to fight floods and rescue people, the whole army and the armed police force have mobilized more than 5,800 vehicles, more than 860 boats, and more than 60 aircraft...... Among them, there are more than 80,000 pieces of river crossing and life-saving equipment and more than 3,700 tents.

Comrades, we can't compare with others, but our family accounts for more than one-fifth of this tent. The task of some time ago was well accomplished, but we still need to make persistent efforts, and we must not be overlooked. To put it mildly, you have become a banner for the flood relief of the regional medical security system, and the heads of the regional and military air forces are looking at you. ”

Yang Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Director Xia, do you mean that we still have to continue to persevere?" ”

"Yes, according to the forecast of the meteorological department, there will be heavy to heavy rain in the upper reaches for a few days. You have to be ready for the third flood, or can I send you a life jacket this time? ”

Director Xia's words stunned everyone, Tian Wenjian was stunned for a while, and then said eagerly: "Director Xia, you have to bring the three girls back no matter what, it's too dangerous here, if they really have three long and two short, how can you let me explain to Political Commissar Wang and Xiaomei's father." ”

"Yaya was sent by the political commissar, first, let her accompany Sister Han, and secondly, she also received education. You can do the work of the other two girls, I can't do anything. ”

Dean Tian was in a hurry, stood up suddenly, pointed to the embankment outside the tent, and said in a fierce voice: "My senior director, do you know how dangerous it was last time? There were three landslides and one breach, which were blocked by the officers and men of Group R with their bodies. If they hadn't worked hard, you wouldn't know if you'd ever be able to see us. ”

After the college entrance examination, Zheng Xiaolan was determined to go to the front line to accompany her Uncle Tian. If something goes wrong with her, Air D Division will not be able to explain to Army Group A. Yaya is the only daughter of Political Commissar Wang, and Yu Xiaomei is the daughter of the general's family.

Director Xia didn't dare to make this joke, and after thinking about it, he resolutely said: "In this case, we must tie them back as well." You have to be careful yourself, don't think you're safe in a life jacket. ”

Political Commissar Yang, who had experienced two flood peaks, thought that there was a possibility of a third flood peak, so he quickly stood up and asked worriedly: "The main forces have withdrawn, what should I do if the flood really comes?" ”

Deputy Secretary Chang sighed lightly and said solemnly: "The troops have not withdrawn, they are just taking a temporary rest, and the Central Military Commission is still transferring troops to you from all directions. You supported two regiments last time, and you may have to protect several divisions next time. ”

"Taking into account your actual situation, the regional logistics department and the air force health department of the military region have decided to send a group of military academy graduates to come for internships in the near future.

Time is of the essence, and there is so much preparation to be done. Tian Wenjian did not have time to continue chatting with the two leaders, so he immediately asked Political Commissar Yang and Chairman Wu to inform the cadres to assemble and prepare to move the field hospital and medical point to a safe area at a higher altitude.

It was too dangerous here, but the old experts would not leave, and Dean Tian had to let them stay. The three little girls made him even more anxious, and it took a lot of effort to coax them into the car.

The war is imminent, and everything is focused on flood fighting and disaster relief. While desperately hoarding medical supplies, Tian Wenjian resolutely ordered the communication detachment and the security section to accept the command of the flood control headquarters. The personnel of the epidemic prevention team were informed to hand over the work at hand to the local political axe militia as soon as possible, and quickly return to prepare for the battle.

Sure enough, seven days later, there was another widespread heavy rainfall in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and even heavy rainfall fell in the upper reaches. The water level that had just fallen quickly rebounded, and the 12 hydrological stations upstream had already exceeded the highest level in history.

The Huangzhou embankment is in an emergency again!

More than 3,000 airborne troops, under the command of the Provincial Defense Headquarters, rushed to the Huangzhou Embankment in the footsteps of the Infantry Regiment of the C Division of the R Group Army. Tens of thousands of people who had just returned to their homes once again packed their bags and reluctantly evacuated under the organization of the local political axe.

The weather became hot, and several thousand officers and men were carrying out high-intensity work in the face of a high temperature of 35 degrees. The training uniform was torn, and the pants were torn into strips. Everyone had a few layers of skin peeled off, and they didn't dare to touch it in pain all over their bodies, and they had to continue to run with sacks.

However, in the face of the flood, the power of people is too small, and tens of thousands of people, including the local militia, have watched as the pipe surge has caused the embankment to burst, and the sandbag dam that has been built with great difficulty is easily swept away by the flood, and the water is surging down, just like the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, rushing towards the farmland under the embankment. In their eyes, this scene is not spectacular, but tragic.

Fortunately, the Air Force Hospital has been prepared, and if it is still stationed under the embankment as before, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this point, hands and sandbags alone are already mantis arms for cars. Several 30-ton cement ships were requisitioned at the scene, and the gap was propelled, and it disappeared after being swept away by the flood a few times, and a 50-ton ship disappeared in a blink of an eye. Tens of thousands of people on the shore watched with bated breath, a 500-ton iron barge was towed, pushed into the water, rolled a few times, and finally stuck on the gap, the raging flood was suddenly choked, and only a few water dragons were left to spray out of the gap.

There was an earth-shattering cheer on the shore, and everyone ran again, piling piles and blocking. There are also small gaps, where the fighters use their bodies to block the flow of water and buy time to build embankments to fill the gaps. The waves beat people so much that they couldn't breathe, and some people sank into the water, dragged up by their comrades-in-arms, holding each other's arms to build a human wall.

They are only in their early teens and early twenties, and many of them are still inseparable from their parents at this age, and they are using their lives to protect other people's homes. Some people say they are stupid soldiers who work hard on allowances that are not enough for someone else to eat a meal, and some people accuse taxpayers of raising a bunch of waste. But at a critical juncture, the first thing people think of is always these people, risking their lives to hold up a piece of the sky.

After the danger was cleared, he climbed up from the water, and the soldiers lay on the ground, not wanting to move, surrounded by comrades like him. The paramedics brought in supplies, patted them on the shoulder, and put water and food beside them. But no one got up to eat, and they were all tired to the limit, and they fell asleep.

The medical tents were already full of the wounded, and the command temporarily borrowed a local school to form the third field hospital of the Longjiang Air Force Hospital. But as soon as they had treated their wounds, a dangerous situation appeared dozens of kilometers away, and with the order of the on-site command, the officers and soldiers embarked on the journey again.

It was not within the scope of the Air Force Hospital, and looking at the barracks that had suddenly become hollow again, Dean Tian, who looked like a savage, ordered everyone except for the communications detachment to remain on the embankment, and everyone else to withdraw to the station, wash and wash up, and receive new training uniforms. But everyone was so tired that many people didn't even bother to eat dinner, so they fell asleep.
