175: Remembering the Heroes

During the 17-day disaster relief flight, he flew over his hometown more than 50 times, and every broken wall under the rotor was so familiar. Nanxing Town, Mao County, a small town inhabited by the Qiang people, is where he was born and raised, the two houses of the family have collapsed, and his parents, who are nearly 80 years old, are living in tents. Every time he passes in the air, the 51-year-old will have his heart fluctuate, and his sense of urgency to complete the task will be strengthened. The captain, who has been flying for 33 years, is a calm and calm person in the memories of his comrades. He has participated in many military exercises, flown more than 5,800 hours safely, and has been awarded two second-class meritorious services and four third-class meritorious services. Although he will retire in 11 months, he actively fights after the earthquake, flying more than seven hours a day at most.

If he didn't ask to join the rescue, he would just have to wait quietly for 11 months before he could retire with honor, but he was a soldier, and his thoughts and beliefs did not allow him to retreat.

Who would have thought that this warrior would leave us forever.

The muscles on his parents' faces trembled when they heard the news, and tears flowed down their eyes.

"Our son sacrificed to save more people, we are sad, but we are more proud, our lives were saved by those who wore the same military uniform as my son....." The old couple couldn't go on anymore.

Please let us remember his name, he is our hero in China, he is: Qiu Guanghua! A native of Maoxian County, Sichuan, of the Qiang nationality, the first generation of ethnic minority pilots trained in China. Helicopter captain, four meteorological flight commanders, special pilots. He has been awarded 2 second-class merits and 4 third-class merits.

......

As a young pilot trained by the brigade, he especially cherishes every opportunity to fly, especially to participate in the earthquake relief mission. He took out a map, carefully inspected the route he was about to fly, learned about the data of each landing site in detail, and called his wife Wang Yu in Chengdu to ask her to help him pay attention to the weather conditions in the direction of Wenchuan, Lixian and other hard-hit areas, for fear that he would make a mistake.

And his biggest regret is that he owes his wife a wedding, and after getting the marriage certificate, he has been busy with tasks and military exercises, and his wife said that he would not be busy to hold a meaningful wedding one day, but he would have no chance to go this time.

When she saw the news that a helicopter on a mission was missing, her heart chuckled, and she took out her mobile phone and desperately dialed her husband's phone but never answered.

Until the moment she received the news of her husband's death, she did not believe that it was true.

Please let us remember his name, he is our hero of China, he is: Li Yue! Born in 1980, he is one of the best young pilots in the Army Aviation Regiment.

There is also Wang Huaiyuan, born in 1961, with 3,010 hours of flight experience, and is a senior air mechanic of the Army Aviation Regiment. He has been awarded 1 third-class merit and 1 second-class merit. It is said that some of his best comrades-in-arms had the same dream that day, and they all asked him in the dream, 'Why haven't you come back?'

Chen Lin, born in 1980, is 28 years old, deputy squadron leader and assistant air service mechanic of the 3rd Squadron of the Army Aviation Regiment. He promised to spend Children's Day with his daughter, and her daughter is still waiting for her father's return at home, but unfortunately her father can't spend Children's Day with you in this life....

Zhang Peng, born in 1984, is a "post-80s" soldier and a second-class non-commissioned officer. In this earthquake relief, he took the initiative to help the aircraft assemble and unload materials, worked continuously at the airport for more than 12 hours a day, and participated in 170 sorties of loading and unloading disaster relief materials, totaling more than 60 tons. During the earthquake relief, he took the phone to report to his parents that he was fine, and said that if he could, he would like to adopt an orphan in the disaster area and give them a new life.

Every hero is an ordinary person, it's just that what they do is not an ordinary thing.

They are all heroes, and none of them should be forgotten by us.

In this incident, the leaders of our country commented on them: "The comrades of a certain army aviation regiment of the Chengdu Military Region are anxious about what the central authorities are anxious about and what the people affected by the disaster need. Not afraid of hardships and dangers, not afraid of sacrifice, tenacious struggle, and made outstanding contributions to earthquake relief.

We should learn from their heroic deeds and lofty spirit and strive to win a comprehensive victory in the fight against the earthquake and disaster relief. ”

This is the Chinese military! From the anti-Japanese years, our soldiers have always adhered to this spirit, whether it is China in wartime or China in peacetime, our soldiers will always appear at the moment when we need it, don't be afraid of natural disasters because we have a strong China behind us!

Kang Ming was resting this day, and the captain walked into the tent.

"Kang Ming." shouted.

"Here!" Kang Ming replied loudly and stood up.

"The higher authorities ordered you to withdraw from the disaster area, and the rest will be handed over to the other teams." The captain commanded at Kang Ming.

After hearing the news, Kang Ming felt that his body suddenly wanted to be paralyzed on the ground, and he fought for a whole month, during this time, his nerves were tense every day, and he didn't dare to close his eyes every day.

"Captain, we're not tired!" Kang Ming replied loudly.

"I know you're not tired, but we don't need to rescue here, the car that picks you up will arrive soon, and when you arrive, take your people to the headquarters first, change your clothes and take a shower to rest!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, you're resting, I'll call you when the bus comes."

"Yes!"

After sending off the captain, Kang Ming lay on the ground and continued to rest.

After about two hours, Kang Ming's walkie-talkie rang: "Kang Ming brought your people here!" The captain's voice came out.

When Kang Ming heard it, he picked up the walkie-talkie and replied: "Received!" With that, he yawned and stood up.

He walked out of the tent and went to the tent on the side, waking up the instructor and a few of them.

Everyone rubbed their eyes when they woke up: "What is the task of the squadron leader?" "It seems that Kang Ming came here to make a mission.

Kang Ming raised his eyebrows: "Pack up your things and get ready to go home!" The order was given in a low voice.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and immediately turned around to pack their things after a while, in fact, there was nothing to pack, one person and one marching kettle were still issued by others, one person and two bags were used to sleep outside when it rained, and a few pairs of gloves for one person but none of them could be used, but everyone still put them in the backpack.

After packing up their things, Kang Ming led them out of the tent.

Outside the tent, everyone turned to look at the ruins, now the ruins have been pulled out a lot, there are roads, there are simple houses, the red flag is fluttering in the wind on the flagpole in front of the school, everything here is changing for the better.
