Introduction to the Armed Police Forest Force: The Armed Police Forest Force is stationed deep in the forest and grasslands, protecting the motherland's more than 36.8 million hectares of forest and more than 21.9 million hectares of grassland. Over the past 50 years since its establishment, the forest force has gradually developed and grown into a modern, professional forest protection and fire-fighting team. It has formed a three-dimensional forest protection system with "ground, hollow, and air" multi-arms collaborative operations, and has become a major force in protecting forest resources, preventing and extinguishing forest fires, and protecting our country's forest resources. A new force in the ecological environment, it is praised by the people as the "Protector of the Great Forest".
In the vast and mysterious forest of the motherland, a special force whose mission is to protect the green mountains and forests is fighting. Officers and soldiers stay with the mountains and the forests, loyally guarding the safety of the vast forest sea. This special team is the Armed Police Forest Force.
The nemesis of the forest fire demon
When floods flood and deserts approach, forests increasingly show extraordinary value to human civilization. However, fires threaten the precious forests at all times. According to incomplete statistics, from 1950 to 1987, forest fires in my country burned a total of 955 million cubic meters of wood, causing direct economic losses of 143.3 billion yuan, accounting for 56.5% of the total losses from various fires in the country. The forest fire demon not only devours the country's wealth, but also seriously damages the ecological environment on which we depend for survival. Faced with the call of green, the armed police forest troops stand ready to guard the white mountains, black waters and tropical jungles, becoming a sharp sword that can cut off the forest fire demon at any time.
The fire is ruthless, and the close combat with the fire demon is arduous and dangerous. The heroic forest police officers are famous for fighting evil with good deeds. In early February 1999, forest fires on the Myanmar side of the Yunnan-China border burned into our side. More than 400 officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Forestry Corps of the Armed Police fought fiercely with the fire for half a month on Hemlock Ridge at an altitude of 3,500 meters. They put out the fire 26 times and extinguished 176 fire heads. The day the battle was won was New Year's Eve. The officers and soldiers cleaning up and guarding the fire scene on the border spent an unforgettable New Year's Eve night while chewing cold steamed buns and missing the lights of thousands of homes in the motherland.
In recent years, the forest police force has focused on high technology, developed new equipment, and gradually bid farewell to the history of manual fire extinguishing with sticks and sticks.
When huge forest fires occur in Zhanhedingzi and Hanjiayuanzi in Heilongjiang Province, Honghuaerji and Aershan in Inner Mongolia, whether it is deep in the inaccessible dense forest or in the mountains and mountains, Wherever there is a fire, advanced communication tools such as maritime satellite phones can quickly report information, and the "steel eagle" of the airborne fire-fighting team can appear there in time, dropping the fire-fighting team members quickly and accurately like magic soldiers descending from the sky. Fire scene. In the sky, helicopters were constantly rising and landing, inspecting the fire situation and mobilizing troops to intercept the fire; on the ground, forest fire trucks, all-road troop carriers, and armored vehicles roared into the fire, quickly crushing the fire isolation zone...
According to According to statistics, since being included in the armed police force, the forest police have handled and extinguished 3,146 forest (grassland) fires and fires, including 118 major forest fires. The forest fire extinguishing rate reached 94.2% on the same day. Over the past 10 years, the national forest damage area has dropped by an average of 94.3% compared to before 1987.
The sentinels of the Linhai Grassland
Stepping into the sea and fighting the flames shows the true qualities of a hero. The timely discovery of the fire during patrol observation also tests the loyalty of the guards. During the forest fire prevention period in spring and autumn, the heroic figures of forest police soldiers patrolling through the forest sea are everywhere in the forest. Over the forest sea, there are helicopters and bi-wing "Yun-5" aircraft circling and flying, patrolling the forest fires: in the forest lakes, there are patrol boats cutting through the waves, watching the tranquility of the mountains and forests beside the lakes; on the top of the mountains, there are even more vigilant soldiers. Eye.
On the commanding heights of the vast forest, there are fire watchtowers. In order to monitor and forecast forest fires, the young warriors bid farewell to the prosperity of the city, with three people per tower, stationed in the mountains far away from human habitation. In the dense forest. Severe cold and scorching heat, infested wild animals, lack of water and vegetables...the tenacious forest police soldiers rely on bravery and wisdom to fight against nature and create miracles of survival in the wild.
These are not the only things that test the lookout soldiers. Once, lookout soldiers Yang Gengshan and Zhang Jinli of the Inner Mongolia Forest Corps were knocked down by lightning while on duty. Yang Gengshan died on the spot and Zhang Jinli passed out. Two hours later, Xiao Zhang woke up slowly and found that the mountain forest was on fire due to the electric shock. He tried his best to walk and crawl for more than 10 hours, and rushed to the squadron station with bruises all over to report the fire. In order to avoid a bigger fire. The fire provided timely information and gained time.
For more than ten years, the Armed Police Forest Force has been stationed at nearly a hundred lookout towers in the vast forest. The accuracy of fire forecast is as high as 100%, making special contributions to my country's forest fire prevention cause.
Guardians of Green Homes
According to data, my country’s forest coverage rate is only 13.9%, ranking 111th in the world, and it is a Shaolin country; almost every species of my country’s rare wild animals The numbers are on the decline. However, in recent years, the temptation of money has led some criminals to extend their claws to the beautiful forests and the rare birds and animals that inhabit them. For a time, the indiscriminate felling of trees and the indiscriminate hunting of wild animals caused another disaster to the already fragile forest ecology. This kind of behavior, like the swallowing of fire, seriously threatens the environment on which we live.
In response, officers and soldiers of the Forest Force of the Armed Police set up a dragnet and launched a desperate struggle with criminals who destroyed the green area. In the middle of winter in 1997, an armed poaching gang consisting of 18 people took advantage of the heavy snowfall to sneak into the depths of Changbai Mountain to poach nationally protected animals such as Siberian tigers, brown bears, and red deer. Six patrol officers and soldiers from the Jilin Forest Corps blocked their way in a mountain col. The two sides faced off for several hours, and the poaching gang finally surrendered.
According to statistics, since 1996, the forest troops have dispatched nearly 200,000 troops to more than 10 national nature reserves, including Changbai Mountain, Xishuangbanna, and Xilingol Prairie, and patrolled hundreds of thousands of kilometers. , more than 120 armed poachers were captured, and more than 10,000 people engaged in illegal mining and deforestation were eliminated, which severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of criminals who destroyed the ecological environment.
On this special battlefield, officers and soldiers sacrificed their youth, blood, and even their precious lives.
