Wang Wei, head of the Anshan City Public Security Fire Detachment, recalled the process of fighting the fire on July 16 and said: "That's really a gamble!" ”

The No. 103 tank located at the height did not explode at all, and after the explosion, the oil fire flooded the positions of the Anshan detachment.

The No. 42 tank in the Anshan position did not explode, and all the officers and men could not go back.

On the 7.16 fire, the footage of the sacrifice of 18 soldiers in the Hengyang fire in Hunan Province has always lingered in Wang Wei's mind. He led 130 officers and men of the Anshan detachment to fight the fire here, and felt that the responsibility was greater than the sky. It is necessary not only to ensure a complete victory in the battle, but also to ensure that the lives of officers and men are intact. He believes that correct command deployment is more important than reckless bravery.

After the end of the fire fighting on July 16, the Anshan City Public Security Fire Detachment summed up the combat experience, and the combat training personnel used four words for the fire performance of the captain Wang Wei: use the soldiers well.

Of the 130 officers and men of the Anshan detachment, one-quarter are on the front line, one-quarter are in charge of water supply, one-quarter are in charge of support foam, and one-quarter are responsible for communications and logistics. The position is like a fisherman's net, which can be retracted and released freely. There was no rush to the front, no retreat, and no supply loopholes that delayed the fighters.

Wang Wei said: Leading 130 officers and men to such a large fire ground absolutely cannot be blindly commanded. When the Anshan detachment just entered the fire and looked for the position of the Nanhai tank farm, it was led by the traffic police to the wrong way and entered the no-man's land. When the General Headquarters transferred the Anshan Detachment to reinforce the No. 103 tank position, Wang Wei resisted and did not move. If they move to tank No. 103, tank No. 2 and tank No. 42 will burn up, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Not only will the platoon department be precise, but the firefighting operations will also be precise. After observing the fire situation of the crude oil fire, the commander of Wang Wei's detachment ordered the officers and men to fix the attack site on the fire root and beat every drop of water on the fire root. He had already seen that this kind of fire, striking the flames was in vain, and it was useless. Although the water cannons and foam cannons in some positions were attacking the flames at high altitudes, the Anshan detachment always aimed at the fire roots to block them, so they were able to advance the position 210 meters and keep the No. 42 tank from being threatened.

During the battle, Wang Wei didn't know where the other detachments were, he didn't know how many oil tanks there were in the fire, and after the night, the flames licked the sky, and each detachment felt that they were fighting alone, a battle against the water, and a battle of the century. When the day dawned, Wang Wei couldn't help but be afraid when he saw the oil tank standing tall. There were oil tanks in front and back, left and right, and he led 130 officers and soldiers to fight all night without casualties, which is incredible.

When he received the order to mobilize the provincial corps, Wang Wei, the head of the detachment, had just returned to his home in Shenyang, and he had not returned home since he was transferred to the head of the Anshan City Public Security Fire Detachment in June. At that time, he was watching a TV show, his wife Li Min was writing materials, and his children were reviewing their homework. Miao Guodian, a senior engineer of the provincial public security fire brigade, said on the phone: "The fire in Dalian is very big and cannot be controlled. The corps mobilized rescue forces to reinforce Dalian. Wang Wei knew that the outcome of this battle was unpredictable, and said to his wife in a relaxed tone: "I can come back tomorrow." In fact, it was 5 days and 5 nights, and it was a shocking test of life and death.

After dawn, Wang Wei saw that the ditches under the No. 1 and No. 2 boxes were full of oil, still bubbling, and the possibility of re-ignition still existed. At 9 o'clock in the morning, after the Anshan detachment had extinguished all the fires in the position, the whole team arrived at the No. 103 tank position.

Wang Wei led people into the protective dam of tank No. 103, inspected the tank's sprinkler system with hydraulic devices, injected foam into tank No. 103, extinguished the fire, and continued to fight for a day and a night.

In such a large-area fireground battle, the smooth flow of communication equipment is an important guarantee for victory. The 350 trillion and 400 trillion communication equipment and walkie-talkies of the Anshan Public Security Fire Detachment have been kept uninterrupted from beginning to end, and they can stabilize their minds up and down. All the leaders of the Anshan detachment fought side by side with the attack group, stabilized the morale of the army, and concluded a brotherhood on the fire field.

After the end of the July 16 battle, the Anshan City Public Security Fire Detachment promoted a number of leading positions among the meritorious personnel in the battle. Wang Wei said: Those who sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives in the 16 July battle and made remarkable achievements should be the first to be promoted to their posts, and this is to promote healthy trends. By the end of November 2010, Zhang Guowen of this detachment had been promoted from deputy chief of staff to head of the combat logistics support group, Zhang Chaoyang had been promoted from instructor of the special service squadron to chief of the combat training section, Jin Yusong had been promoted to the group education section to preside over the work, Zhang Xiangzhong had been promoted from chief of the combat training section to deputy chief of staff, Sun Tao, squadron leader of the squadron directly under him, had been promoted to chief of the cadre section, and Liu Haibo had been promoted from non-commissioned officer to police officer.

Captain Wang Wei didn't want another July 16 fire, but he couldn't forget July 16 in his heart, and he would never forget it.
