How many people died this way.
However, humans have a more tenacious instinct to survive, and are still miraculously persisting and struggling for life.
These miracles are not only miracles in the history of life, but also miracles in the history of human spirit.
The Tengshan earthquake, with its devastating test that shocked the world, left behind despair but also brought hope.
These people who are thirsty for life are undoubtedly the pride of mankind.
Before humans experience a catastrophic disaster, it is difficult for them to imagine the meaning of survival to life, and they rarely realize how much tenacity and perseverance survival itself requires.
Often, the disappearance of life is not just due to external disasters, but more due to despair.
The military green of more than 100,000 people gave these people hope!
What's more, the power of support from all sides when one side is in trouble has given these desperate people a desire to live a good life.
The rescue work is proceeding in an orderly manner...
Faced with a vast expanse of ruins, in the rain, lives were miraculously rescued from under collapsed buildings and collapsed coal mines.
The rescue work was proceeding effectively, but Zhang Guoqing, who had not closed his eyes for several days, told himself that he could not rest yet because his work had just begun.
He understood very well that the first thing humans face is death and pain.
However, just when the danger of death has passed and the bleeding wounds have just been bandaged, what they face is hunger and thirst, and they need to vent.
Some people will suddenly realize that they are naked, some will suddenly feel smoke in their throats and stomach cramps.
The collapsed shops threw out scattered canned food and clothes when the earthquake shook, and someone picked them up, which made people realize that there are so many items urgently needed to sustain life under the rubble.
The ugliness of human nature will hesitantly move towards those ruins: grocery stores buried with cakes, department stores piled with clothes, hotels piled with bedding...
At first, they may have just wanted to survive or to get out of an emergency.
But when people reach out for property that does not belong to them, some desires hidden in their hearts will begin to be released.
The future will soon enter a state of unprecedented sin.
As the commander, he needs to stabilize the situation first. This is his unshirkable responsibility!
Zhang Guoqing then secretly sent an emergency message to the Military Commission: The Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Armed Forces must organize a large number of police and militia to go to the front line to protect the property safety of this city.
Several senior officials within the Military Commission who had been in constant contact with the front lines immediately paled when they received this secret information. Even the usually calculating Zhou Xiaozheng broke out in a cold sweat.
In recent days, everyone's focus has been on saving lives in a race against time, dispatching military personnel, and calculating casualties, but this point has been neglected.
You know, in addition to the major department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, all banks and savings banks, there are also granaries that store an inestimable amount of grain for the entire city, which is also of great importance.
Just imagine, if tens of millions of disaster victims lose their rationality and start riots, it will undoubtedly cause devastating damage to the subsequent reconstruction of the city.
Soon after 100,000 soldiers arrived at the earthquake zone, a large number of police officers and militiamen were dispatched from nearby cities to Tengshan City, which was closely watched by the world.
The arrival of these personnel brought great convenience to Zhang Guoqing's work. Orders were issued to various support points in the city after being spoken and signed by him.
"All police officers and militia members of J City are stationed at all major banks and savings offices."
"All police officers and militia members of H City are stationed at all major grain depots."
"All police officers in City X will be stationed in various districts. All personnel from the First Battalion of the XXX Regiment will lead the remaining militia to form a detachment to maintain stability in the city."
"All the comrades mentioned above, if they encounter any lawless elements, should first sound the wooden cannon to warn them. Those who resist will be shot on the spot."
As the order was issued, the security work was officially launched, and Zhang Guoqing began to devote himself to health and epidemic prevention.
That night, everyone in the "front command" tent had a serious and stern expression.
At this point, no one would think that Zhang Guoqing was exaggerating.
He conquered his comrades with his outstanding command ability time and time again.
plague!
Almost from the moment the first body was buried by the collapsed building, and at the same time as death was closely accompanying it, another terrifying shadow was approaching Tengshan.
Plague! History tells us that after a great disaster there will always be a great epidemic. This is a terrifying and inevitable law.
What should Tengshan do?
The logistics staff of the front-line command, who had received orders from Zhang Guoqing in advance, had already brought epidemic prevention experts and drove a jeep to travel around the Tengshan area for two consecutive days.
The report from the epidemic prevention experts was very shocking...
The city's power and water supply systems were interrupted and roads were blocked, forcing all troops and civilians to drink water from pits, ditches, and swimming pools and live in the open air.
The excrement, garbage transportation and sewage discharge systems as well as various urban sanitary facilities were severely damaged by the earthquake, resulting in the accumulation of excrement, dirt and garbage, and the breeding of mosquitoes and flies.
A large number of people and animals were killed or injured. In this season, with high temperatures and heavy rainfall, the corpses are rapidly decaying, and the odor of rotting corpses seriously pollutes the air and the environment.
Now the rescue sites are densely populated and crowded, with more opportunities for infection. Once an infectious patient appears and there is a lack of isolation conditions, the disease can easily spread.
The most crucial point is that local health institutions and mass disease prevention organizations at all levels have been severely damaged!
From these reports, some of you here know better than anyone what all that means.
So far, nearly 170,000 people have died or been injured, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of victims and tens of thousands of rescue troops are likely to be defeated by a plague!
Whether it is prevention or not, this is a harsh battle in which humans are tenaciously pushing the plague away.
Fortunately, Zhang Guoqing had already reported to the Military Commission before departure. If he had not miscalculated, these epidemic prevention teams should have arrived soon, but they did not show up today.
Logically speaking, with his father-in-law in the Military Commission, he should have no worries. But could he have offended someone this time and they might resort to some means to stop his father-in-law?
For example, will the orders issued from above be responded to promptly by the lower levels?
At this point, he had to deploy backup measures again just in case.
Looking at his colleagues, Zhang Guoqing felt sorry that he could not tell the truth. If the higher-ups did not resolutely implement the requirements he left behind, the morale of the troops would be shaken.
Fortunately, at dawn, at eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Guoqing finally welcomed the key person he had been waiting for.
-- 22 epidemic prevention teams nationwide, totaling nearly 2,000 personnel; 300 tons of disinfectant, 20 tons of insecticide, and 10,000 sprayers of various types were dispatched; 50 military-grade chemical defense vehicles were also dispatched; and five spraying aircraft were deployed...
Tengshan is saved!
At that moment when everyone was happy, Zhang Guoqing understood better than anyone that this was all the hard work his father-in-law had done for him behind the scenes. If his father hadn't been there, how could so many supplies have reached him in just a few days?
