The 1998 flood fighting veterans went back to the front line, the veterans returned for 20 hours by car to fight the floods, and 10 Shanxi veterans drove 1,300 kilometers to help Jiangxi fight the floods... They built a embankment on the front line of the flood fight. The netizens left a shocking message: "Serving the people has become theirs.

A series of new equipment appeared on the front line of flood prevention and disaster relief, and became the "tip weapon" for flood fighting warriors to subdue the flood.

In the worst-hit areas, organize and dispatch communication support, meteorological and hydrological troops to ensure smooth command at all times.
