What's the situation of Dong, known as the "Millennium Wall", who fought off floods to protect the people 22 years ago?

The duty of soldiers is to protect the security of the country and the people, so they are very great. Although it is a peaceful time, if there is a war, it is also soldiers who stand in front of us to protect us. In places like station banks, it will be written that soldiers are preferred. Is it because soldiers are superior to us? Actually, they are not. When we are in danger, soldiers are the first to step forward, and they deserve priority. Even if it says that soldiers have priority, some soldiers will queue up honestly and will not cut in line. Today we will talk about Dong, a flood fighter. He is also a soldier. He used his body to protect the people of a city.

Dong disaster relief

Dong was born in Shaanxi in 194 1. Dong had a heroic dream when he was young, so when he was 20 years old, he joined the army with great enthusiasm. Dong has just joined the army and is an ordinary little soldier. He worked very hard in the army and changed from a soldier to a general. When Dong became a general, he was old, but he still didn't give up his job, but worked harder for his motherland.

1998 in August, the sky seemed to be poked open a big hole, with lightning and thunder, and the rain kept on. It has been raining for a long time, which makes the water level of the river keep rising. People are very worried. If it doesn't stop raining, the water in the river will be full and the whole city will suffer. There is nothing wrong with this worry. Because it has been raining, something happened to the Yangtze River. The flood of the Yangtze River tore a big hole near Jiujiang. Jiujiang is a relatively low-lying place, and the Yangtze River is only a few meters higher than Jiujiang. If it is not remedied in time, the consequences will be unimaginable. Hundreds of thousands of Jiujiang people will be ravaged by floods, and floods will also destroy many things in this city.

At this time, Dong revealed the true face of the general. For the safety of the people, he rushed to Jiujiang. Although Dong was 57 years old at that time, he was still not afraid at all. It is an honor for Dong to serve the country and the people. 57 is the age of retirement, but he still went to the flood-fighting site without hesitation, completely ignoring his own safety. Dong puts the motherland and people first, and then himself. This selfless dedication is really admirable.

fight/combat a flood

After Dong arrived at the front line, he was immediately appointed as the commander of the flood fighting front line. At first, the soldiers blocked the gap with sandbags, but the flood came fiercely, and finally the blocked gap was washed away by the flood, and the hole became bigger. The sandbags can't resist the impact of the flood, and the soldiers are very worried that if this gap is not blocked, the people in Jiujiang City will be attacked by the flood.

The soldiers used many methods to throw all the discarded train iron sheets or sandbags into the river, but the river seemed hungry and swallowed everything. Dong had no choice but to take the lead in the water and block the flood with his body. People saw that Dong, regardless of his life and death, went into the water and built a wall to stop the flood.

In the next few days, even if Dong is still stationed in the front line despite the wind and rain, Dong is already a 57-year-old man and can still persist. How can these young soldiers retreat? During the flood fighting days, the soldiers didn't have a good sleep, and their eyes were red, but for the safety of the people, they must stick to their posts and protect the people. The perseverance of these soldiers is really admirable. Dong played a leading role, inspiring the morale of the army and making everyone full of confidence. We must overcome the flood.

At that time, the situation was very critical, and it was necessary to dam the flood to stop it completely. A 20-meter landslide occurred in Saicheng Lake. The urgent task is to send troops to the landslide area of Saicheng Lake to stop floods and buy time for dam repair. Dong immediately sent two companies of soldiers. Without any hesitation, the two companies immediately went to Saicheng Lake. The soldiers of these two companies know that their lives are completely insecure after they go, but they still serve the people without hesitation.

Conquer the flood

Under the command of Dong, the situation gradually improved and the flood was controlled. At that time, the equipment was very underdeveloped and everything was backward. However, Dong and others still surrendered to the flood, and now only the calm water surface is left in the turbulent flood. People also call this flood fighting a "Millennium Wall", and Dong's appearance will always be remembered.

What everyone didn't expect was that Dong Sanrong, Dong's son, was also in the flood fighting team. Not only did everyone not know, but even Dong himself didn't know that his son had come to the battlefield against floods. At that time, Dong Sanrong was already a platoon leader. Because fighting against floods was urgent and important, Dong Sanrong put aside his report with his father, and fighting against floods was the most important thing. He was also surprised when he saw his son Dong. His son is a head taller than himself, and the whole person is tanned. Dong also joked that his son would be darker than himself in a few days.

Dong is still a very emotional person. As he spoke, the soldiers blocked the gap with their bodies, and he couldn't help crying. They are all heroes, who only want to protect the people regardless of their own safety. They deserve to be respected for life. When the reporter interviewed Dong, Dong asked the reporter not to write about his deeds, but to write more about flood fighters. They are the real heroes, but he is old and can no longer protect the country and people. At that time, he will rely on these heroes to continue to protect the people and the country.

Dong is very admired. At the age of 57, he dared to set an example by fighting floods and defending his country. Dong died in 20 17, probably because he was a soldier when he was young, so all the complications came out when he was old. But before Dong died, he had no regrets. A person must fight for his dreams when he is alive, and Dong has finished what he wants to do, so he left this world without regrets. Do you think so?
