After the local authorities took over, the troops began to evacuate the disaster area one after another, but the units belonging to the Marine Corps remained in the disaster area. There are several considerations in this, the first is that the Marine Corps is the closest unit to the disaster area, and they have a greater advantage.

It's just that the officers and men of the Marine Corps need to continue to hold on.

The clean-up work of the county seat has been carried out in an all-round way.

Military trucks carrying the officers and men of the landing team drove into the county town, which was covered with yellow dirt. The water-soaked parts of the buildings are all yellowish, and the yellow water stains on the pavement are even more serious. Everywhere there were washed out furniture, appliances, clothes and toys, scattered on the streets or hung directly on the security nets of some buildings.

Most of the entire county was looted as if by the most ruthless bandits.

According to preliminary estimates, the loss of Xihe County will exceed 500 million.

Thankfully, casualties did not exceed triple digits. This is a remarkable achievement for more than 100,000 people affected by the disaster, especially in the face of such a sudden and devastating flood.

The dredging and clean-up work is equally difficult, and almost the entire county has been exposed to broad daylight under the flood.

Shao Zhongqiang and Wu Guoxin's company of the seventh squad was responsible for cleaning up the most densely populated villages in the city. This is a new rural village in the city, in fact, a well-planned commercial community located in the golden zone, with more than 7,000 households living here alone, and more than 30,000 registered people.

The officers and men cleaned up piles of garbage and put them on military cards, no matter what they were, as long as they were blistered, they all cleaned up. This is very heavy physical work, some soaked fabric sofas, usually need several people to carry the military card, if waiting for the arrival of construction machinery, then the county town can not clean up these garbage for a month.

The time given above is only five days, so that the county will basically resume cleaning, and then the anti-chemical troops and local epidemic prevention departments will enter for comprehensive cleaning and disinfection.

After a busy morning, the officers and soldiers were exhausted, and after Shao Zhongqiang consulted the company commander, he gave the order to rest on the spot, and the soldiers of the seventh squad immediately lined up, put raincoats under their buttocks, sat down against the wall on the spot, and rested in place.

Within two minutes, they were all asleep, each with their mouths wide open and their heads tilted.

Wu Guoxin was at the end of the team, his physical strength was very exerted, and he only ate two steamed buns in a hurry in the morning, so he was already hungry and fell asleep as soon as he stopped.

A young man walked out of his home dejected, and the heavy loss made him feel extremely bad. The household appliances and furniture that worked duty were all soaked in water, and they were completely useless.

He saw that the soldiers of the seventh class were all asleep against the wall, and slowly stood still, and he was standing not far from Wu Guoxin. The young man's emotions slowly calmed down, and some memories in his mind gradually became connected.

From the outbreak of the flood to the present, it seems that people have long been accustomed to the scene of many camouflage uniforms rushing back and forth for disaster relief, and are accustomed to the camouflage uniforms appearing around in time when there is any need and difficulty, as if it is a matter of course.

Accustomed to a hot breakfast brought by camouflage uniforms in the morning, and many camouflage uniforms hurriedly grabbed two steamed buns and began to clean up; accustomed to a headache and brain fever, camouflage uniforms immediately appeared and sent to the nearest medical point; accustomed to the hardest and most tiring work left there and never need to worry about it, and there are camouflage uniforms to do it......

The young man seemed to have an epiphany for a moment.

These people, even younger than their own age, owe nothing to themselves, but why should they do this? At this moment, when everyone is angry about the loss of their families, why are they still silent and cleaning up their homes as quickly as possible?

This is not their home, they don't need to work so hard, but they value it more than anyone else, and they want to change it back to its original appearance sooner rather than later.

The young man thought that all this, perhaps, was simply because they were wearing military uniforms.

He took out his mobile phone, found an angle, and filmed the scene of the soldiers of the seventh squad sleeping against the wall. In the photo, the nearest one is Wu Guoxin, and the photo is so clear that you can see the crystal flowing from the corners of his mouth. Walking towards the depth of field, there are other warriors lined up, dirt on their bodies, dirty faces, sunken eye sockets, gap-open mouths, and small shovels and pickaxes clenched even when they are asleep. In stark contrast, a fashionable woman pinching her nose happened to pass on the other side, and the photo was frozen here.

The young man didn't notice the woman, he was in love, and he sent a circle of friends with the text: Maybe I can't understand their beliefs, maybe I can't understand their mission, but I suddenly feel strongly that I can't do without them, before, now, and in the future, I will never be able to do without them - forever lovely and respectable soldiers!

He didn't expect that his graphic circle of friends would be reposted and published by a large number of various media, not because of his feelings, but because of the fashionable woman who happened to walk by there and was photographed by the camera.

Attentive netizens quickly pointed out the details, the fashionable woman is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, from her fashionable clothing brand and hairstyle, netizens actually accurately judged that it was a white-collar worker from a foreign company. And the key to what really makes this photo get retweeted a lot is that the fashionable woman's nose covering her nose is in sharp contrast to the dirty soldiers of the seventh class.

In an instant, there was a lot of condemnation on the Internet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who is that woman? Do you see her disdainful gaze? Find her!"

"The indescribable mood, the existence of that pretending-force-woman, will only make me feel the greatness of our warriors!"

"Distressed Brother Bing......"

"That soldier brother is drooling when he sleeps, but I can't laugh......"

"Some people stink before they die, and some stink but die!"

......

The soldiers of the seventh class had no idea what was going on, lunch was delivered, they were finished, and they continued to work, and for a whole afternoon, when they had become Internet celebrities, they still didn't know it, and they were still fighting on the front line.

And for the seventh squad, and even for all the officers and soldiers, these things are just things that they have done that are completely not worth mentioning. Their existence is for this day, and their dedication is for the peace of the country and the people.
