Weizhou Bay, you were born of water (the mainland formed by the return of the Yangtze River) and regenerated in the water. How much blood and sweat have you forged with the fire officers and soldiers, living and dying together. Looking at Weizhou Bay again, I seem to see the loyal soul of the great river sleeping here. It was 1989 1 4 o'clock on the 2nd of the month. The fire squadron in Jiayu County, Hubei Province, where I am located, received an order from the superior. Two oil barges exploded and caught fire, and people were asked to look for them along the river in Weizhou Bay.
Because it is impossible to determine the specific location, and the common people and local people understand that the riverside township in the upper reaches of Pazhou Bay is on the edge of the Yangtze River, as a result, the common people walked along the embankment and returned to the squadron without finding the oil barge on fire. In less than ten minutes, I received an order from my superior that the kerosene be lightered in the lower reaches of Weizhou Bay. So people rushed to Weizhou Bay. At that time, it was already dawn. Not far from Pazhou Town, people saw two smoking fires, of which an oil barge downstream was more than 100 meters away from Pazhou levee.
When people rushed to the shore, the locals said emotionally to people; You can't go up there There was an explosion just now, and many people were killed. As there are no rescue tools, people can only be anxious on the shore and silently pray for the fire fighters. Later, I learned that eight comrades died in the explosion and the Yangtze River embraced their bodies. There are also many leaders and comrades-in-arms such as Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li They used their life and youth to compose a magnificent song of blood and fire in Weizhou Bay.
Looking at Pazhou Bay again, we will never forget the world-famous "98 Flood Fighting" and "Pazhou Bay Life and Death Rescue". 1 August, 9981Sunday night, I was watching the Bayi TV program when I suddenly received a notice of emergency rescue in Weizhou Bay. The local government, as an army commando, gave people the task of loading rice from Panjiawan Grain Depot on a barge, then driving the boat to the breach and sinking to block the breach.
When the commandos on board the ship were asked to swim, they bravely raised their hands with many comrades. Later, due to the news from Weizhou Bay, the breach was getting bigger and bigger, and the method of sinking the ship had to be abandoned, so the people's commandos were ordered to rush to the door, where they cooperated with the fire commandos led by Chief Li to carry out life-and-death rescue in Weizhou Bay. See also Pazhou Bay, which is tied to the complex of fire officers and soldiers in the whole province.
It took less than two kilometers from the fire site of the Yangtze River oil barge to the breach of Weizhou Bay. It only took ten years, but it condensed the fire officers and soldiers of the whole province to go through fire and water for the people and cast a pure heart. Look at Naozhou Bay again, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and everything is new. Look at the rows of strong poplars on the long embankment. Aren't the fire officers and soldiers guarding the people's safety?
