While snowball fights were in full swing in the north, the southern coastal region was greeted by the last typhoon of 2018, "Flame".

When it was still in the Philippine Sea, the "flame" was only a tropical storm, and the direction of its movement was due west, and according to the forecast, it would not affect the coastal areas of our country, and at most it would bring some heavy rainfall. Unexpectedly, after entering the South China Sea, it suddenly strengthened into a strong typhoon, with the central wind reaching level 17, and a sharp turn came towards Guangdong Province, which suddenly made the prevention and control department nervous.

On 20 December, the theater issued an order to go all out to defend against Taiwan, and its subordinate units entered a state of maximum alert for non-military operations. Deputy Chief of Staff Pei Lei has just put forward a request to the 303rd Comprehensive Training Base, which will be used as a combat readiness mobile detachment stationed there. Political Commissar Yuan attached great importance to this defense against Taiwan.

The troops stationed in the southern coastal areas have very rich experience in defending and resisting Taiwan, and they have all kinds of plans, and they ordered the troops to complete the work of defending and resisting Taiwan in the barracks in the shortest possible time.

All outdoor training of the new corps was suspended and all training was changed to indoor training, mainly in the field of physical training. At the same time, each recruit company left a cadre and a non-commissioned officer, and the rest of the instructors were all assembled, and some people from the public service detachment were replenished and were on standby at any time.

Political Commissar Yuan said during the mobilization deployment, "According to the forecast of the military and local meteorological departments, the intensity of the flames is the largest this year, and the maximum wind force after landfall may reach 16." The landing area they predicted was the coastal area from Pengcheng to Yangjiang, and it would probably make landfall at about 9 o'clock tonight, and it was very likely that Pengcheng would be attacked head-on. Comrades must enhance their awareness and be prepared to fight a tough battle to defend against Taiwan! From now on, all of you are on standby in the office building, all the supplies are loaded, and the order must be dispatched within a minute! The vehicle carrying the assault boat needs to be overhauled every two hours to ensure that nothing goes wrong! ”

The atmosphere of the battle suddenly became stronger.

After the mobilization meeting of the instructor team, Su Pingguo dragged Li Shuai aside and said, "Borrow my mobile phone, I have to call home quickly." ”

Li Shuai handed over the phone.

I heard Su Pingguo call home and said, "Dad, the typhoon is coming, hurry up and prepare at home, stock up on food, and paste all the windows with newspapers." Don't go out in the afternoon after doing these things. ”

"I know in my heart, what's so strange about typhoons, don't worry about your family, how are your troops, you don't have to go out to fight Taiwan, right?" Su Pingguo's father is light and breezy, and the people of Guangdong Province have long been numb to the typhoon attack, and they will not get used to it if they don't experience it a few times a year, but they are worried that their son in the army will go out to fight Taiwan or something.

Su Pingguo said, "This is accurate, and the order must be pulled out." Don't worry about me. ”

"You pay attention."

After hanging up the phone, the emergency news began to be broadcast on the television, and the instructors gathered around to watch it. At 2:15 p.m., all schools in the city were closed, all students went home, and the emergency department immediately started work in accordance with the emergency plan.

All of a sudden, the city entered a state of emergency preparation, but the people of Pengcheng have long been accustomed to such emergency preparations several times a year, no one is nervous, and they are preparing step by step. On the contrary, most people are excited about the typhoon coming to the school unit for the holiday, and there are all kinds of funny and funny jokes on the Internet.

Under a strong and complete prevention mechanism, most of the people can maintain a good attitude before the disaster comes.

In the large conference room of the organ building, Political Commissar Yuan and several staff officers were studying the plan on the map of Pengcheng. In terms of the training of permanent soldiers, the 303rd comprehensive training base in Pengcheng City is the largest. They have a recruit regiment of more than a thousand people. After hanging up the ranks, they are real soldiers, and the leaders will no longer treat them as ordinary people.

Li Shuai has been observing and analyzing, especially looking at the real-time satellite cloud images synchronized from the meteorological department, touching his chin from time to time, very focused.

"You understand?" Niu Jun was dressed as a photojournalist fan, and he was also ready to go out at any time, and came over to ask Li Shuai.

Li Shuai nodded slightly, "I used to train at the air base for a period of time, and I learned a little from the pilots. ”

"Tell me, see what's coming." Niu Jun asked with interest.

Li Shuai said, "It doesn't feel good. This flame may be even more powerful than predicted. ”

"Really?" Niu Jun was even more surprised, "The forecast results are jointly made by the military and local meteorological departments, and their predictions are inaccurate?" ”

"It's not." Li Shuai said solemnly, "The weather is the most unpredictable. At that time, I was stationed at the air base for training, and the chief of their meteorological station said that whenever you think you can grasp the weather changes, the weather will always give you a bad luck. Ninety percent of the air dangers in their air force are related to sudden weather changes. ”

Niu Jun said, "Then your prediction may not be accurate. ”

"That's right, so I say it's feelings." Li Shuai said, "This flame was just an ordinary tropical storm at the beginning, and if you look at the previous cloud map, the performance was relatively stable for a long time. Usually this kind of tropical storm will slowly disappear, and it is a big deal to bring some rain to the coastal areas. ”

He pointed to the inflection point of the path of the "flame" and said, "Look at this inflection point, it turned from west to north very decisively, and then quickly intensified into a strong typhoon, and the speed of movement also showed a steady increase trend. ”

"What does it mean?" Niu Jun was even more curious.

Li Shuai pointed to the northernmost and said, "In the past few days, the northern part of my country has been affected by the strong cold air in Siberia and has experienced a wide range of heavy snowfall. You should know about the hot and cold effect, right? Flames are a strong typhoon that develops from a tropical storm and carries hot air with it. Hot air squeezes cold air, and in turn, the cold air vortex is attracted to hot air and constantly intensifies the hot air. ”

Niu Jun somewhat understood, "No wonder when a typhoon comes from the south, it usually snows in the north, and there is cold air coming south or something." ”

"That's right. It is estimated that the flames were affected by this powerful Siberian cold air mass, and the subsequent development is difficult to figure out. Li Shuai said solemnly.

Niu Jun said, "I don't think the problem is big, and the southern coastal areas have rich experience in defending and resisting Taiwan. ”

Pointing to the TV, Li Shuai said, "I'm afraid that there will be paralyzing carelessness, if the wind level exceeds the forecast after the flames make landfall, I'm afraid everyone will be caught off guard." ”

Niu Jun took out his mobile phone and looked through the information on social platforms, and found that most people showed that their thoughts were indeed very optimistic, and some even went to the beach to see the typhoon land with their own eyes, and some people started live broadcasts in order to attract fans, which is not a good sign.

When she was about to say something, Li Shuai strode towards Political Commissar Yuan, and after whispering a few words, the two walked to a secluded place and talked with serious expressions.
