The town of Chongqing Chengkou Miaoba was flooded overnight with 4000 residents evacuated late at night.

On the morning of July 28, more than 30 representatives of the masses in Miaoba, Chengkou County, came to the quake-relief and disaster relief headquarters with more than 400 signatures and sent a thank-you note to the leaders of the county's military headquarters. 69-year-old husband Fu Dian'an said with tears to the reporter: "Fortunately, Liu Clique took people to save us and the old couple, or my old life would be gone!"

County and town leaders and villagers all said that no Liu political commissar fired an alert at the first time and organized everyone to evacuate. He did not know how many people would be killed by the flood. Remembering that night 10 days ago, Miaoba people still have an lingering fear.

Precaution—Securing Life Lines in Endangerment

Heavy rain, such as note, mad fury. On the evening of the 18th, the streets of Miaoba Town in Chengkou County were empty. The villagers were hiding in their own homes, and some of them had already gotten into bed early.

“I don’t know how much damage this rain will bring to the folks!” Two military vehicles crossed Miaoba Town and headed toward the county seat. Liu Yun, a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and the People's Armed Forces Division of the People's Armed Police Force sitting in the car, was eager to see the heavy rain from the window.

After several days of continuous heavy rain, many towns and towns in Chengkou County were seriously affected. The county party committee and county government attached great importance to it. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the party committee of the county's Wubu Party held an emergency meeting and decided that the minister Wang Hongjin would preside over the work at home. The political commissar Liu Yun led the team to five disaster-affected towns and towns such as Jiming and Zhouxi to guide disaster relief.

At 2200, the vehicle made its way to the backflow of 1.5 kilometers from Miaoba Town to the county seat. Backstream, the river is narrow, and it is named after the river flowing through it. "Hey..." In the heavy rain, Liu Yun suddenly heard a strange call from the mountain. Along the faint light of the car, he vaguely saw that there was heaps of mud in the middle of the road ahead, and that there were stones falling from above.

"It's not good, in front of the landslide!" The car stopped. Liu Yunli stopped in the rain and observed for a few minutes. In the darkness, the voice of "squeaking" was getting louder and louder, making people feel inexplicable fear. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind: What if the mountain collapsed and blocked the river? Almost at this moment, Liu Yun shouted: "Quickly return to Miaoba Town."

Twenty minutes later, the duty room of the Miaoba Town Government was brightly lit. An emergency meeting was held in a tense atmosphere. The temporary headquarters was quickly established. Members include: Liu Yun, Miaoba Town Party Secretary, mayor, deputy mayor, and township armed forces minister. Everyone looks dignified.

"The situation is very urgent. The militia reservists and the town cadres are on standby!"

"One observer is not enough, two!"

“Immediately inform nearby residents and quickly evacuate!”

......

During the meeting, Liu Yun quickly filtered the emergency plan for flood control and emergency rescue. One instruction was issued quickly, and emergency measures were quickly made. One or more evacuation orders were promptly relayed to more than 200 militiamen. One resident received an emergency transfer notice.

Pang Renqiong, a villager who lives on the back stream, still has a hard time. At 23:45 that night, she received a phone call from the militia company commander Wang Chengyou. He immediately took the 12-year-old daughter from the house to the opposite side of the mountain. She just ran more than 200 meters and heard the loud noise of the mountain collapse behind her eyes. Their house was engulfed by mudslides. Pang Renqiong said: "It's like a bomb explosion in a movie... Fortunately, they notified me in time to save my life and my daughter's life."

"Uh--" At 23:50, the phone suddenly rang. "The mayor, the foot of the mountain, the river is blocked!" Accompanied by the observer May Gao's hurried voice, vaguely could hear the loud bang of the landslide. Li Zhangping, the mayor of Miaoba Town, is almost uncontrollable.

More than 700,000 cubic meters of the mountain collapsed. The debris flow blocked the rivers below the Luojiang River and the water level rose rapidly. The lives of more than 2,000 residents in the town were seriously threatened. The county party committee and the county government received a report on the disaster and immediately appointed Liu Yun as the chief commander on the scene.

Transfer—Open Life Channel in the Flood

At this time, the lake water is rising at an average rate of 0.1 meters per minute.

"The danger must be reported the first time, and the people must be transferred the first time!" The headquarters made decisive decisions.

The siren that was temporarily installed on the vehicle of the Ministry of Military Affairs played an important role at this time. At a critical juncture, Liu Yun quickly mobilized the police car at the police station in the town.

"Let's go, the flood is coming, go to the high ground!"

"Don't go to sleep. You can't sleep when you sleep!"

......

More than 300 militiamen and cadres and masses quickly assembled and were divided into three batches: Chaoqiao South Street, Qiaobei Street and Qiaoxi Street. One family knocked at each door and went door to door telling everyone to transfer immediately.

“Is there anything important to watch out for?” “Isn't you seeing any rising water yet?” “What will the floods flood into the home more than 20 meters above the river bank?” “When Chongqing launched flood water in 2007, the amount of water rose by 2 meters. “For some small towns with only two shallow rivers, some residents dismissed the warnings. A 60-year-old grandfather, getting out of bed and licking at the window, is ready to go back to the house and continue to sleep.

More residents panicked after hearing the news. The shouts, cries, and rain were intertwined. Some wanted to rescue their property and they were reluctant to withdraw. Some just woke up from their sleep, and they did not know how to evacuate. Where, some panicked and ran out in shorts ... ... The villager Xie Tianhua slept drowsy, went out and ran deep water, but fortunately stopped by the militia.

Urgent, urgent, urgent! time is life!

Seeing the river flooding into the town, party members and cadres came up. Special military cadres came up and the militiamen came up...

In their downpours, they made an exhausting effort to report dangers and forced them to break into the gates of those who did not want to leave and did not believe in them. They were forced to transfer and evacuate. Some residents were seen wearing shorts and bare feet to run out of the room. They immediately took off their clothes and shoes and put them on. They barefooted and escorted the crowd to safety.

The town’s armed forces ministers to Shouchun, ignoring the lover’s supermarkets flooded. From the time they received the order to evacuate the people, they ran back and forth across the town. They passed the supermarket door more than 20 times and never entered the door to confirm whether their family members still had relatives. . He personally transferred more than 40 people and lost more than 200,000 yuan.

When the hour hand points to zero, the vast majority of villagers have moved. Floods have not passed the low-lying bridge west street and south bridge street, and are spreading to the north bridge street. Seeing that many elderly people, children, patients, and disabled people with disabilities on the legs are slow to move, Liu Yun ordered more than 20 strong and capable militias to form a special team to carry out transfers, such as by sending back and supporting them. The rainstorm and rapid rising floodwaters opened a life channel and won precious time for the evacuation.

The 21-year-old Wei Daiming recalled: “I had an inconvenient operation because my calf had just undergone an operation just a few days ago. After getting the news, my 70-year-old father took me to the door and was taken away by two militiamen. The water in the street has submerged the legs."

The villager Zhu Xianpeng, a family of nine people, was dressed in clothes for the elderly at home and rushed out of the room when the flood had flooded his knees. What to do, the elderly are inconvenient to walk, and certainly not able to run the flood. Just as the family fell into desperation, a military vehicle stopped in front of them. “The old man and the child get on the train first!” Liu Yun, who is currently searching for the vehicle, said, pushing the three elderly people and two children into the car while letting Zhu Xianpeng and his elder brother, his wife, and his fiancée take the motorcycle and quickly transfer them. , and he stayed in the town after searching. Until flooded to the chest, other comrades who came to find him were pulled out of the water.

At 30:30, more than 2,000 people rated by the threat of flooding were successfully transferred.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, floodwaters flowed through the entire town. People and military militiamen, militiamen, and town cadres of the People's Armed Forces raced against the flood to race against the flood. Before the flood rose to 7 meters, they successfully transferred more than 4,000 people across the town. Standing on the hillside overlooking the familiar town became a vast ocean, the mayor Li Zhangping said with emotion: "If it weren't military officers and soldiers, militiamen, at least 1,000 people died in their sleep!"

Search and Rescue——Get out of desperate life

“Oh, how did you not see Xie Fa Lou next door?” After the panic, the villagers calmed down and began looking for their friends and family.

“It seems like there are people on the roof!”... As the water level of the lake has soared, more than 100 people have had time to transfer and have been trapped on their roofs.

“The people in Miaoba must not be less!” Seeing this scene, Liu Yun hoarsely issued a mobilization order for the exhausted officers and militiamen. Then we organized the use of wooden sticks, tires, oil barrels, etc. to make it simple and to search for and rescue trapped people in the lake.

The lake is located in a residential area. The lake is covered with various floating objects such as furniture, timber, animal carcasses, oil, etc., together with dense electric wires and canopies submerged in water. The water conditions are complicated, and search and rescue are difficult. Danger. In spite of this, they still insist on searching for the life after the flashlight in the dark.

Two or three square meters of simple squats can support the raging flood for long, and no one knows. "I'm going, I'm small!" At this time, Zuo Tianbing, a militia of less than 1.7 meters in height, stood up without hesitation.

"I saved people, and you have a good rest." Before leaving, Zuo Tian Bing said only one sentence with his wife and he did not dare to look at his wife's eyes. His wife was frail and sick. He had not participated in labor for half a year. The crops were all for help. If he had something longer and shorter, the family was finished.

For the first time, no 20 meters away, the oil tank flooded in water suddenly exploded. The simple battle was overturned. The left Tian Bing thumped and returned to the shore. He passed away with the Ghosts and was not scared away. He also found some wood with the villagers and tied two planks together to make a second wooden pole. This time, he successfully rescued the two children who were trapped in the house of Xie Falou on the third floor.

The third time he went into the water, he rescued an adult and a child. The fourth time he went into the water, he rescued two big ones and one small one. Again and again, due to prolonged soaking in the water, the left heavenly soldier trembled cold and his lips were black and black. Due to extreme fatigue, leg cramps were caused, water fell again, and a large amount of diesel effluent was pumped into the lungs to cause serious lesions. At present, it is still being treated in the county People's Hospital. One evening, he rescued 22 villagers.

At 4:20, Wang Jeanju, who lives in Tongbao Village, was successfully rescued. "I was already desperate. I saw the flood drowning my calf. I took my granddaughter and said to my sister, I was going to die. I telephoned the daughter who was working in Chongqing and told me the story. It was just that the left Tianbing discovered us." ... He is our great benefactor!" Speaking of the left soldier, she was grateful for it. Before she was rescued, she stood on the top floor of her third floor with her granddaughter for a whole night and watched the flood step by step.

At 6 am, more than 100 trapped people were successfully rescued.

The battle to rescue and rescue the waters of Chengkou Lake is continuing.

On the afternoon of the 19th, Wang Hongjin, head of the People’s Armed Forces, led the militia emergency squad rushing to help. A reservist regiment and the Ministry of Military Affairs of Kaixian County sent 219 officers and militia reserve personnel, carrying rubber boats and assault boats, together with armed police officers, land and water conservancy departments, etc., to explode, eliminate risks, and transport materials and personnel to invest in clearing and cleaning. Silt, epidemic prevention and other battles...

That night, the people in Miaoba remembered a few names: Liu Yun, the political commissar of the county's military department, Xu Wangang, the deputy minister, Liu Yong, the chief of the political department, the military minister of the town, Xiang Shouchun, and the militiamen Zuo Tianbing.
