80,000 PLA Servicemen working strenuously in frontline of flood-fighting
Because of the recent strong precipitation, an overwhelming flood peak was formed at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The water level of the Yangtze River valley has been shooting up constantly and the flood-control and flood-fighting situation is grave.
Nearly 80,000 servicemen and militiamen are working strenuously in the frontline of flood-fighting and relief operation and another 100,000 servicemen and militiamen are ready to back them up at any time.
At 13:00 on July 18, a sand dredger crushed the Muli Bridge on the Nieshui River, a branch of the Yangtze River, in Huangpi District of Wuhan City in Hubei Province which made 10,000-plus villagers suffer from traffic inconvenience thus incurred. After more than 10 consecutive hours’ efforts by a pontoon bridge brigade a 100m-long floating bridge was finally erected.
Currently, nearly 30,000 servicemen and militiamen are working strenuously in the frontline of flood-fighting operation in Hubei Province.
At wee hours on July 19, the flood peak ran through the Zhouhe River in Dazhou City of Sichuan Province. Dozens of hardest-hit streets in the main urban area of Dazhou City were drowned and all traffic of Dazhou leading to the outside was disrupted.
The Dazhou Military Sub-Command and the Dazhou reserve artillery brigade under the Hubei Provincial Military Command of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) organized more than 10,000 militiamen and reservists to rescue 8,177 stranded people.
At wee hours on July 17, the communication in the areas of Wanyuan and Dazhou was held up due to the damage on the optical cable by mountain ******** and mud-rock flows.
After more than 43 consecutive hours of efforts made by the officers and men of a communication general station under the Chengdu Military Area Command of the PLA, the national defense and civil optical cable measuring more than 160 km from Xi’an, capital of Shaanxi Province, to Chongqing Municipality was finally restored.
