At one o'clock in the afternoon, news finally came from the regiment, but instead of setting off immediately, the officers and men of the regiment did not leave for the time being, and the camp was on standby.

Over the past few days, the troops have always regarded flood fighting and rescue and preparing for exercises as a matter of top priority.

The company got up early every day to pack their backpacks, and on TV the sixth flood peak of the Yangtze River and the third flood peak of Songne and Ne, the coast was frequently in an emergency, and the fraternal troops rushed to help, but the 447th Regiment was unable to receive the order to go to the disaster area, and they were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, clapped their hands and stomped their feet, and were eager to try.

Faced with the task of fighting floods and rescuing people, the battalion organized officers and men and conducted targeted training.

In accordance with the methods introduced in the book for dealing with dangerous situations such as pipe surges and overflowing embankments, they let every cadre and soldier know the characteristics of various dangerous situations and how to deal with them, especially the methods of scientifically organizing emergency rescue and disaster relief.

According to the company commander and instructor, the 447 Regiment has experience in participating in flood fighting and emergency rescue.

Three years ago, the Dan River basin experienced a major flood that had not been seen in 50 years. At that time, within the formation of the division, the team drove the Dan River embankment and carried out a one-month flood fighting and rescue work. How to plug the breach? How to prevent overflow? How to save people? There is a set of effective institutional approaches.

In particular, in the face of difficulties and dangers, party members and cadres have played an exemplary and leading role. Become the backbone of the fighters in flood fighting and rescue.

In that flood fighting and rescue operation, the driver of the artillery tractor of the antiaircraft artillery company made a third-class meritorious service. Because, he rescued hundreds of people who were besieged by the flood.

And the reason, speaking of which, everyone also feels lucky.

Because, it's not that other drivers can't do it, but that the car can't do it.

As you know, the exhaust pipe of an ordinary car is at the rear of the car, which is only twenty or thirty centimeters from the ground.

However, the tractor of the anti-aircraft artillery company, with its exhaust pipes and intake pipes, had a special structure, the elongated version, which extended directly to the same height as the body.

In this way, even when driving in floodwaters more than one meter deep, the car remains unimpeded.

At the same time, the battalion has also strengthened its training in reading and using maps. This is also a lesson learned from the past.

A few years ago, during a flood fighting and rescue mission, the convoy of the artillery battalion, in the process of motorized march to the embankment, caused the vehicle of the third company of howitzers to be far away from the battalion due to the excessive distance between the vehicles, and the driver lost the convoy, lost the target, and did not catch up with the team.

The company commander at that time made a quick decision, commanded several cars he was carrying, and according to his own judgment, got on the highway.

The large army noticed that they were left behind, stopped at the emergency stop and waited for them.

However, they galloped on the highway for more than half an hour, and did not find the team in front of them.

When he called and contacted the brigade in front, the company commander realized that he had made a mistake in the direction of progress.

Originally, the entrance in the direction of the provincial capital was supposed to go north.

But he led the team to the entrance to the south, in the direction of Bincheng, so that he was in the opposite direction.

There was no way, so their team immediately went out at the next exit and re-onboarded the highway from the northbound entrance.

Such a toss delayed the precious march, and an hour passed.

Fortunately, this is not a real war, otherwise, this army would have been wiped out by the enemy long ago.

People in the affected areas are living in extreme hardship, their homes have been destroyed, and they are in urgent need of support for their food and living in makeshift tents erected on the embankment.

Various localities have launched activities to show love to the disaster-stricken areas, and the cadres and fighters of the armed forces have also extended their hands of friendship, taking out part of the meager allowances, even borrowing debts, and donating their limited quilts to the people in the disaster-stricken areas.

Yang Wenbin also donated half a month's salary to buy brand-new quilts, mattresses and military uniforms from the military service club, and then donated them to the people in the disaster area.

And the soldiers who are facing demobilization also donate the new military uniforms that they usually save and are reluctant to wear.

In order to support the disaster area, they fought hard.

"We are all as one" and "Building the Great Wall together" received a total of nearly 1 billion yuan in donations, which truly embodies the traditional virtue of "when one party is in trouble, all parties will support".

In the flood fighting and rescue, party members and cadres fully embodied the vanguard and exemplary role of "being able to see it in ordinary times and stand up at critical moments".

The People's Liberation Army, the People's Armed Police, the militia, and the reserve forces were not afraid of sacrifice, charged ahead, fought continuously, and spent a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources, and many heroic deeds and exemplary figures emerged.

Yang Wenbin saw Gao Jiancheng, an instructor of a certain unit of the Airborne Forces, on the program on the day of the August 1st Army Day, CCTV also interviewed him there to express his determination.

Who knows, a few days later, he took his troops and went up to the embankment, as a result of which the embankment broke.

He and some of the soldiers of his company were never able to make it out of the flood again.

Yang Wenbin, seeing Gao Jiancheng's deeds, was very touched in his heart.

He thought that if his unit drove the embankment, he would do the same as Gao Jiancheng.

In order to fulfill the tasks entrusted by the party and the people and to defend the lives and property of the state and the people, we will certainly rush to the embankment without hesitation.

The selfless dedication of the military is worth it.

The people's enthusiasm for supporting the army is also unprecedentedly high, and there is a moving scene of Yimeng Hongsao's style of using milk to heal the wounds of soldiers.

The Yangtze River basin has gathered the largest number of troops since the battle of crossing the river, and composed a heroic song of fighting water.

Yesterday afternoon, the regiment held a meeting of all cadres to lift emergency combat readiness, return to normal work and rest time, have weekends off, and cadres and fighters have normal vacations.

At the same time, it was announced that the new regiment commander was in place.

The new head of the regiment, called Shen Lei, is as famous as his person, five big and three thick, very burly, and speaks loudly and loudly like thunder.

I heard that he served as a platoon commander, company commander, staff officer, unit commander, staff officer and division chief in the army, and then went to the Frunze Military Academy in country E for training.

It seems that their immediate task is to prepare for the exercise with all their might. Regiment, battalion, and company organization cadres and soldiers (drivers) at all levels conduct sand table deductions, familiarize themselves with tasks, and clarify goals.

Who knew that he had just played a round of poker with the soldiers in the morning, and suddenly received an order from his superiors to assemble urgently. The company commander announced that he was preparing to fight the flood and went to Musi City, Longjiang Province, to meet the third flood peak in Songjiang.

The whole company immediately took action, packed backpacks, bundled equipment, familiarized themselves with the combat readiness plan, and received supplies.

By 12 noon, we were ready to go to the front line of flood fighting and rescue at any time.

Now everyone is resting, the camp seems to be quiet, and all preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner.

"It looks like I'm really about to leave for Musi in the afternoon!" Yang Wenbin thought to himself.
