In the past few days, many places in the south have encountered heavy rainfall, and many areas have been in danger. In the early morning of June 20, after receiving the rescue order, a certain unit of the Rocket Army formed a party member commando team and rushed to the front line of disaster relief.
"2 elderly people were trapped at home, and they quickly came out to rescue them!" On the night of the 20th, a road around a village was washed away by a mudslide, causing people to be trapped. Hearing the order, three members of the party commando team of the ministry moved and took an assault boat to the rescue. After 3 hours, the team members moved the trapped elderly to safety.
On the 21st, a flash flood broke out in a village, and the only road into the village was blocked, and there was a danger of secondary disasters at any time. Li Lei, a party member of the ministry, charged forward with sandbags on his shoulders and urgently carried out reinforcement operations; Party member Zhang Minglei was accidentally scratched, and he quickly filled sandbags despite the pain...... At the disaster relief site, the backbone of party members shouted "follow me" and "let me come", and set an example as a pioneer everywhere.
On the evening of the 23rd, due to heavy rain, the station activated the red warning for flash floods. The backbone of the party members of the ministry submitted petitions one after another and rushed to the scene to carry out rescue.
In the process of transferring the trapped people, the party member commando team of the ministry passed through a narrow section, and it was difficult for the assault boat to enter, and team member Wu Dahai jumped into the flood without hesitation to explore the way. The turbulent water carried the gravel and kept rushing towards Wu Dahai. He gritted his teeth and pressed forward, and finally moved the trapped people to safety with his comrades.
An elderly man in his late teens suffered a broken rib and had difficulty moving. Xu Jie, a member of the party commando, regardless of the fatigue of continuous fighting, and his comrades stepped on the mud with difficulty, and transferred the old man to be sent for treatment.
"As long as you think in one place and work hard in one place, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Xu Hongrui, the platoon commander of the unit, is a young party member, and this is his first time participating in a flood control and disaster relief mission. During the rescue operation, he applied for many urgent and dangerous tasks. "I am a party member, and I must be at the forefront!" Xu Hongrui said.
"The more critical the moment, the more the backbone of the party members must be in the front and rush to the front." The leader of the ministry said: On the front line of flood prevention and disaster relief, party organizations at all levels and the vast number of party members and backbone cadres have always been in the front and fought bravely to build an embankment that cannot be broken.
