Wu Guang is on the Kaotian River levee. Zhang Yifei

It is difficult to interview Wu Guang. On the Kaotianhe levee in Zhuogang Town, Huangmei County, Hubei Province, every time the reporter found him during the break of the officers and men, he always waved his hand shyly and said, "Go interview my comrades-in-arms, they did a great job!"

After several unsuccessful interviews with Wu Guang, the reporter got such a brief introduction from the accompanying cadres: Wu Guang, deputy brigade commander of a pontoon brigade of the Central Theater Army, joined the army for 27 years and participated in ’ Major tasks such as flood fighting in 1998, the rescue of the sunken ship of "Oriental Star", the inspection exercise of "Crossing the Yangtze River -2018" project support, and the support for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 7th military world games.

Yang Jun, the instructor of the Fourth Battalion of this brigade, knows Wu Guang very well. "He usually doesn’t talk much, he is very pragmatic, and his work is resolute." Yang Jun told reporters, "With him, we are very practical."

On the morning of July 8, a pontoon brigade of the Central Theater Army was ordered to go to Huangmei County, Hubei Province to participate in flood fighting and rescue. At this time, the Kaotian reach has exceeded the warning water level, and many places are in danger, and nearby villages are affected.

More than 300 officers and men rushed to help. On the way, Wu Guang kept in touch with local cadres in Huangmei County while organizing a procession, and always paid attention to the development of flood.

"The grievances were severe, and I really had no bottom at that time." Recalling the scene at that time, Gong Jintao, instructor of the 12 th Company of the 4 th Battalion, said frankly. After arriving at the mission site, the scene in front of him made him feel a little worried when he participated in the flood fighting and rescue for the first time: Kaotian River has become a suspended river, the flood has overflowed the dam, there are many piping nearby, Guiba Village is flooded, and the villagers are anxiously waiting for rescue … …

"All assault boats are urgently launched, save people first!" Wu Guang decisively gave the order, and more than 10 assault boats immediately sped away to Guiba Village. Subsequently, according to each person’s professional expertise and carrying equipment, he divided the remaining personnel into two groups, one group was responsible for blocking the piping and the other group was responsible for dealing with the danger of overflow. Wu Guang carefully inspected the riverbank to ensure that he knew all aspects of the rescue.

This patrol doesn’t matter, he found a bigger danger — — A dike with a length of more than 300 meters has a group of piping, and nearly one third of the piping is in muddy water. This means that the river bank is in danger of collapse at any time!

"Hurry up, hurry up!" The local government urgently dispatched sand and gravel, steel pipes, wooden stakes and other materials. According to the site conditions, Wu Guang organized officers and men to take emergency rescue measures such as mechanical piling, construction of anti-filtration wells, and rushing to build sub-dikes. After more than 10 hours of continuous fighting, the danger was finally controlled, and at the same time, all the trapped people were safely transferred.

From the emergency rescue on July 8th to the completion of the rescue mission on August 7th, Wu Guang led the officers and men to fight around the clock in the front line of flood control, handling more than 10 dangerous situations and loading and handling 110,000 bags of sandbags. The flood control works they built were praised by local water conservancy experts as "benchmarks like textbooks".

Wu Guang’s pontoon brigade is on duty all the year round along the Yangtze River. It was awarded the honorary title of "Model Brigade for Flood Control and Emergency Rescue" by the Central Military Commission, and it is a national professional force for flood control and emergency rescue. Over the years, Wu Guang insisted on regularly recording the water level information of the Yangtze River and lakes near the station, conducted in-depth research on flood control issues, and participated in the improvement of emergency rescue plans for many times. Whenever there is an urgent and dangerous task, he actively challenges and strives to be a pioneer.

Just a few months ago, at the critical moment of Wuhan’s fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, Wu Guang led a motorcade to join the transport support team of troops stationed in Hubei to fight against the epidemic for 68 days continuously, achieving zero infection of personnel, zero accidents of vehicles and zero mistakes in tasks, which provided a powerful transport support guarantee for winning the Hubei and Wuhan defense wars.

From fighting epidemic to fighting floods, from the cold winter to the hot summer, from the streets of Wuhan to the mountains and rivers of Huangmei, no matter what kind of difficult challenges he faced, Wu Guang rushed ahead and used "retrograde" expeditions again and again to hold the interests of the people high above his head.
