On July 18, soldiers from Maanshan Detachment of the Armed Police Anhui Corps were carrying sandbags on the Shiba River Embankment in Huangba Village, He County, Anhui Province.
See if you are in a hurry. On July 18, the water level of Niutun River in Hanshan County, Anhui Province skyrocketed, and there was a risk of leakage in many parts of the Hanghe Port. Fighting through the night for 18 consecutive hours has exhausted the officers and men of the 4th Battalion "Linfen Brigade". However, when they heard the danger again, they were excited and led by the instructor Gao Haiwei, quickly into the task of excavating the drainage ditch and carrying the sandbags. The danger was controlled in just 3 hours.
The style of dangerous missions. A cavern of 10 meters in width and 3 meters in length appeared in the Luzhou Ferry of Lianwei Town, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. The officers and soldiers of a brigade of the Eastern Air Force who had fought continuously for 3 days and 3 nights were dispatched urgently. . Approximately 3 hours after the emergency operation was carried out, the dam pavement was broken, and a break may occur at any time. Officers and soldiers who had exhausted their physical strength gritted their teeth and successfully filled the broken pavement to block the quicksand.

The constant danger is a severe test of the fighting style of officers and soldiers. On the morning of the 18th, under the influence of flooding for a long time, more than 10 pipe surges appeared on the dike of the steeply rising pier section of Liantanwei, Tongcheng, Anhui Province, threatening the safety of 10,000 mu of polder fields and nearby villages.

"People are supreme, life is supreme!"

Land and air cooperative battle
Special reporter Wu Min
Da Da Da... On July 17, in a huge roar, a Mi-26 helicopter suspended nearly 10 tons of stone and hovered over the Fuhe break in Yangxin County, Hubei Province, and the water surface instantly raised waves.
The excavator operated by sergeant Yang Changqing of a detachment of the Second Armed Police Corps is almost directly under the helicopter. As the stone was dropped into the water by airdrop, he quickly operated the excavator to start the plugging operation.
"This is the first time that he has cooperated with a helicopter to block a crevasse, and he is somewhat disturbed." Yang Changqing told reporters that he had to fill up every square of earth and stone accurately and block the crevasse earlier, so that the common people would be able to stay away from danger earlier.
The blockade was once in trouble. It is 2 kilometers from the highway to the break. It has been flooded for a long time, and the subgrade has become soft. In addition, the road surface is only more than 3 meters wide, and the working surface is narrow, which prevents large mechanical vehicles from transporting the earth and rock to the break.
The military and the ground repeatedly surveyed the site and came up with a bold plan: ground and air blockade, the ground was operated by the armed police officers and soldiers to operate the excavator to transport the filled stone blockage, and 2 helicopters were called in the air to drop the stone to speed up the blockade. This is the first time that Hubei Province has used a helicopter to participate in a blockade.

A heavy rain stormed most of Kaizhou District in Chongqing City, causing landslides in Baiyan Village, Dunhao Town, many houses were destroyed, and some people were besieged.
The rocks are rugged and the water is flowing fast. The huge rocks that rolled down the landslide blocked the rescue lifeline leading to Baiyan Village.
The disaster is the order. After receiving the report of the militia information officer, the Ministry of Human Resources and Military Affairs of Kaizhou District immediately dispatched the militia emergency company to Baiyan Village for rescue. The rescue vehicle traveled 8 kilometers away from Baiyan Village. The road ahead was completely blocked by the rocks and the local rescue workers were trying their best to clear the access road.
"If you arrive early, you have a little more hope. All the staff will rush to the accident site!" Li Yanyang, minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Military Affairs of Kaizhou District, gave a decisive order, and the militia commando immediately got out of the vehicle and rushed to the disaster site with their rescue equipment on foot. After more than 2 hours of marching, passing more than 10 large and small landslides along the road, the militia commando arrived at the scene as the first rescue force.
The torrential rain is still going on, the rainwater is irrigated along the gully, wrapped in mud and sand, which may cause a secondary landslide at any time. The situation was urgent, and the militiamen immediately lifted scattered stones and cleaned the buried houses. "I didn't feel any pain at the time. I just wanted to save people." Luo Wenjun, the militia's hands, was rubbed out of several blood bubbles. After the rescue, he could not handle the blood bubbles and continued to invest in road repairs.
A few hours later, other rescue forces arrived one after another, and various departments of the military and the land jointly worked out a rescue plan for the collapsed area and worked together to implement emergency rescue. As of 18:00 on the 17th, the rescue operation had all ended. The Ministry of Human Resources and Warfare of Kaizhou District dispatched more than 120 militiamen, transferred more than 3800 people, and rushed to transport 13.7 tons of relief materials.
