It’s almost the end of August and the weather is still hot.

The dazzling sunshine in the afternoon makes people unable to open their eyes, making people feel like they can't wait to soak in the water, but the people in the water can't wait to get ashore.

"If you can't save yourself, how dare you say you are a professional rescuer? How can you save others?"

"Come on! There are still ten meters to go!"

"There are still five meters left, hold on!"

…

The first joint military-civilian flood prevention and rescue skills training in the history of Binjiang City officially kicked off. One hundred and twenty-six rescue team members, under the command of instructors such as Han Yu, Chen Zikun, Ma Jintao, etc., worked hard in the center of the river under the scorching sun.

Practice your swimming skills.

These more than 100 rescue team members come from the Marine Police Squadron of Binjiang Water Branch, the Port Squadron of Binjiang City Fire Detachment, the Changhang Branch Police Station, the Military Division Guard Platoon, the Binjiang Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station Monitoring Squadron, and the Binjiang Port Enterprise Fire Brigade.

Linghai Port Enterprise Fire Brigade and Changhang Guzhou Branch, Shuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau Water Police Station.

Among them are public security officers, active-duty armed police officers, active-duty soldiers, assisting police officers, and corporate firefighters. But now they only have one identity, and that is the trainees in the training class!

The reason why this training class is called "military-civilian joint" is because there are active police officers participating in it.

The reason why it is named "Binjiang City" is based on two considerations: first, the rescue forces on the river need to be integrated, and second, organizing training requires funds.

After the disaster of Typhoon No. 11 that just passed, the Municipal Defense Director realized the importance of maintaining a water rescue force. The Water Branch and the Changhang Navigation Branch jointly submitted an application for organizing flood prevention and rescue training to the Prevention Director, which was quickly approved.

Came down.

Not only was a training fund approved, but ten assault boats and ten unpowered rubber boats were also purchased to equip the water branch, the long-distance navigation branch, the fire brigade, the border inspection station surveillance squadron and the two port enterprise fire brigades.

Training requires space, and Binjiang Shipping College is right on the riverside. Students are on vacation during the summer, and the school buildings and dormitories are empty, which is perfect for organizing training.

This training is closed and military-style management.

Each person is issued two sets of camouflage uniforms. They are not allowed to wear the uniform of their original unit, nor are they allowed to wear police or military ranks.

There are running exercises in the morning, roll call in the evening, and even formation training under the command of the deputy platoon leader of the guard platoon of the military division participating in the training.

Municipal leaders attach great importance to this training. When the opening ceremony was held three days ago, Mayor Wang and Political Commissar Chen of the military division came and asked all trainees to obey the command, train hard, improve their practical emergency rescue capabilities, and give full play to their ability in water rescue.

With the sharp knife function, be ready to rush to the front line of flood fighting and rescue at any time...

Han Yu is the chief instructor of the coaching team. He must not only organize emergency rescue business training, but also ensure the safety of the training.

Although the training in the middle of the river is close to actual combat, it is also very dangerous. To ensure nothing goes wrong, the 001 and Yangtze River Public Security 111 boats were specially transferred to be responsible for guarding upstream and downstream.

When all the students swam to the end and climbed exhausted onto the weed-covered shoal, Han Yu moved his hands and feet, looked at the crowd and said: "Some students have good water skills and can swim very fast, but as a rescue team member, they can only swim fast."

It's not enough. Swimming style is also very important. I just looked at it and found that everyone is doing the most basic freestyle, and some students even swim like a dog paddle."

The students immediately burst into laughter.

"what's so funny."

Han Yu himself couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the student who swam the fastest just now and said with a smile: "The water quality is good and you can swim fast. You can only save yourself. The purpose of our rescue mission is to save people. This is a test."

Our endurance in the water.

If the swimming style is not standardized, it is easy to lose strength and even get entangled by drowning people. We often talk about life-saving straws. Once that happens, you will become the life-saving straw that drowning people cling to. That is a very, very important thing.

When it comes to dangerous things, let alone saving others, it may even be a question of whether we can save ourselves!"

The chief instructor is very young but very strict about training.

Always put safety first, proceed from a practical perspective, and strictly follow the steps of "explain first, then demonstrate, then train".

Guo Weitao was wondering if the chief instructor knew that he would soon become his immediate boss. Han Yu jumped into the "small river" in the middle of the shoal and demonstrated in the water while shouting: "See clearly, this is the offensive swimming style! This is

It's defensive..."

Ma Jintao jumped into the water with tacit understanding and simulated drowning.

Han Yu chose the right angle and swam carefully against the waves. He seized the opportunity to control Ma Jintao's arm, and as if taking coercive measures, he hugged Ma Jintao's neck from behind and swam backward.

Back on the shoal, Han Yu continued: "We must understand the dangers of rescue, even if we seem safe! In water rescue, time is life, and various emergencies may occur for us, but no matter what we encounter

In any situation, rescue should be carried out according to the principles of throwing, rowing and swimming.

That is to say, if you can throw the rope as much as possible to rescue, and if you can row it with a boat, you can row as far as possible to rescue. Only under desperate circumstances can you swim to the rescue like I just did. As for how to throw the rope and how to tie the rope bag

, how to use a boat to rescue, that is the next subject. Today I will practice basic skills and learn various swimming styles first."

The training syllabus has been distributed to the students in advance.

There are many subjects to be trained next, such as personal protection in waters, rope throwing bags in waters, live bait rescue, inflatable rubber boat assembly, assault boat driving, unpowered boat operation, boat troubleshooting, boat ladder combination, and rescue paddle board application.

, tumble current and rope technology, night simulated rescue, rubber boat capsize self-rescue, water rescue, water towing and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, etc.

We even have to invite the chief engineer of the Water Conservancy Bureau to give lectures, and learn how to deal with dangerous situations such as water seepage, piping, leaks, overflows, and breaches in levees, as well as urban waterlogging.

As in the past few days, Han Yu asked Chen Zikun, Ma Jintao, Fang Guoya, Yang Yong, Dong Bangjun and others to demonstrate decomposition movements for each student team after the demonstration, and then organized team training.

He made comments and corrections based on the training situation, and finally assessed each team one by one.

Students come from so many military and civilian units, and no one wants to be compared. You must know that the leaders of their respective units are very concerned about the training results. They come to see the training every day, and those who don't have time to come also call to ask.

They gritted their teeth and fought hard, and even though the skin on their faces had been peeled off by the sun and their feet were soaked white by the river water, no one complained about being tired.

The training time is one month.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and starting tomorrow, the long-awaited boat training will begin.

As the head of the coaching staff, Han Yu enjoys privileges. He does not have to live in the dormitory of the Maritime Academy like the students. He has been living in his father-in-law's house these days, and his senior sister will come to the city after get off work every day.

He changed his clothes and was about to go home when Political Commissar Ma from the Shuishui Branch came unexpectedly.

"Political Commissar, are you here to check on the training progress again?"

"Yesterday, Director Wang came to inspect. He said that you did a good job in training. I stopped by to take a look."

"Dinner will be served soon, I will accompany you to the cafeteria."

"You won't eat here, and I won't eat here either."

Ma Xinmin held his bicycle and walked out while smiling and asked: "How is the performance of Guo Weitao, who has just been transferred to our branch?"

Han Yu was deeply impressed by Guo Weitao of the second team and said without hesitation: "The performance is very good, and it cannot be better."

“The reviews are so high!”

"Good physical fitness, good water skills, and can learn everything quickly. The other students in the anti-sickness training wanted to spit out their gall. He didn't have any seasickness reaction at all. If he hadn't said that he had never been on a boat before, I would have thought that he was just like me and Xiaoyu.

I was born on a ship and grew up on a ship."

"So he was born to be a marine policeman?"

"Marine police officers are not just required to have good water skills and not get seasick. I don't know if he is a natural marine police officer, but he can definitely become a good crew member."

Han Yu smiled and said with emotion: "I used to think that no one is born without seasickness. Only after meeting him did I realize that there are really people who are not seasick."

Political Commissar Ma looked back at the door of the Maritime Academy and said with a smile: "He is not born immune to fainting. He has received more thrilling training than this."

"He has received more thrilling training, political commissar. He is a former scout?"

"no."

"Then what did he do before?"

"Before he was transferred to our branch, he was a traffic policeman in the first brigade. Before becoming a traffic policeman, he was an acrobat in the military art troupe."

Han Yu was stunned and asked in surprise: "Is he the acrobat who joined the army at the age of five and was transferred to the Public Security Bureau for twenty years?"

Political Commissar Ma smiled and asked, "Have you heard of him?"

Han Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "I knew there was such a person, but I didn't know it was him. Director Chen used to go to Bailong Port to inspect the work, and a leader who accompanied Director Chen to inspect mentioned him. No wonder he was training during the gang jumping training

It's like he can do Qinggong. It turns out he is an acrobat and he used to practice in the army!"

】

"Have you ever seen an acrobatic show where you lie on a bench and spin a large water tank?"

"I saw it on TV. He can kick?"

"I don't know if he can step on a water tank. I just know that when he was five years old, he was kicked on like a water tank. He was kicked around in mid-air. Of course he won't get seasick."

"He was doing a good job in the traffic police force. Why did he think of being transferred to the marine police?"

Political Commissar Ma sighed lightly: "Maybe it has something to do with past experiences. He is a few years older than you, but his working experience is about the same as mine. His salary is so high. Many people in the traffic police force are envious of him."

Han Yu asked puzzledly: "His working experience is already long, what is there to be envious of?"

"When there are more people, there are more things to do. Some people envy him for his high salary and laugh at him for being uneducated. He has been practicing acrobatics since he was a child. He has fallen and been injured countless times. He is very annoying when he mentions acrobatics. He was beaten to death in those days.

I changed my career because I didn’t want to practice acrobatics anymore.”

Political Commissar Ma paused and continued: "But the commander and instructor of the traffic police brigade don't know this. Every time the municipal bureau organizes cultural activities, as long as the superiors ask the traffic police team to put on a show, the brigade leader and instructor will let him perform acrobatics on stage."

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "Are you uncomfortable staying in the traffic police team?"

"His situation is quite special. He applied to be transferred from the traffic police force. The Political Department didn't know where to arrange it, so he thought of you."

"What does this have to do with me!"
