Chapter 760: Chapter 516 "Gods Fighting
It’s almost the end of August, and the weather remains scorching hot.
The glaring afternoon sun makes it hard for people to keep their eyes open, feeling an urgent desire to soak in the water, yet those in the water are desperate to get ashore.
"If you can’t even save yourself, how can you call yourself a professional rescuer? How are you going to save others?"
"Co on! Only ten more ters!"
"Just five ters left, hold on!"
...
Binjiang City’s first joint military-civilian flood control and ergency response training skill session has officially comnced, with one hundred twenty-six rescuers under the guidance of instructors like Han Yu, Chen Zikun, and Ma Jintao, practicing swimming skills vigorously in the middle of the river under the scorching sun.
These rescuers hail from various units such as the Binjiang Water Police Bureau’s squadrons, the Binjiang City Fire Brigade Port District Team, stations from the Changhang Bureau, the Military District Guard Company, the Binjiang Border Control Station Guard Company, Binjiang Port Enterprise Fire Brigade, Linghai Port Enterprise Fire Brigade, the Changhang Guzhou Branch, and the Shuzhou City Police Departnt Water Station.
Among them are public security police, active-duty ard police, active military personnel, auxiliary police, and enterprise fire brigade mbers, but now they all share one identity—as trainees!
This training class is nad "joint military-civilian" because it includes active public security participants.
The na "Binjiang City" was chosen for two reasons: firstly, to integrate the rescue forces on the river, and secondly, to organize the training which requires funding.
The City Flood Control Command, realizing the importance of maintaining a water ergency rescue force after the recent Typhoon No. 11 disaster, quickly approved the Water Police Bureau and Changhang Bureau’s joint application for organizing flood control and ergency rescue training.
Not only was a sum allocated for training expenses, but also ten assault boats and ten unpowered rubber boats were purchased and provided to the Water Police Bureau, Changhang Bureau, Fire Brigade, Border Inspection Station Guard Company, and the two port enterprise fire brigades.
Training requires a venue, and the Binjiang Shipping Academy is ideally located by the riverbank, with its classrooms and dormitories vacant during the sumr vacation—a perfect setting for organizing the training.
The training is conducted as a closed session with military-style managent.
Each participant is issued two sets of camouflage uniforms; wearing original uniforms or displaying police or military ranks is prohibited.
Mornings start with jogging, followed by roll calls in the evenings, even line-up drills under the command of the deputy platoon leader of the participating Military District Guard Company.
City leaders place great importance on this training; Mayor Wang and Political Commissioner Chen from the Military District both attended the opening ceremony three days ago, demanding all trainees to obey commands, train diligently, enhance their ergency rescue operational skills, fully exert the cutting edge role in water rescues, and be ready to rush to the front lines of flood disaster response at any mont...
Han Yu, as the head instructor of the coaching team, is responsible not only for organizing disaster response and rescue training but also for ensuring training safety.
Training in the middle of the river, though close to real combat conditions, is highly dangerous; to ensure absolute safety, patrol boats 001 and Yangtze Police boat 111 were specially brought in to guard upstream and downstream.
Once all trainees reached the endpoint, exhaustedly climbing up the weed-covered shallows, Han Yu flexed limbs and addressed the crowd: "So trainees are good swimrs, moving fast, but being a rescue operative is not just about speed. Swimming posture is also critical. I noticed most of you use the basic freestyle, and so swims even resemble dog paddling."
The trainees burst into laughter.
"What’s so funny?"
Han Yu couldn’t help laughing himself, looking at one of the fastest swimrs: "Good swimming skills and speed are only good for self-saving. In rescuing missions, we need to save others, and this tests our endurance in the water.
An irregular swimming stance can lead to quick exhaustion or even get you entangled by drowning victims. We often ntion a life-saving straw; in such cases, you would beco the drowning person’s desperately clung life-saving straw, an extrely dangerous scenario. If that happens, talk less about saving others; you might not even be able to save yourself!"
The general instructor is quite young but very strict about the training.
Always prioritizing safety, and rigorously adhering to the "first explain, then demonstrate, afterward train" steps.
Guo Weitao was wondering whether the general instructor knew about soon becoming his direct superior, when Han Yu jumped into the "small river" in the middle of the shallows, demonstrating while yelling: "Pay attention, this is the offensive swimming posture! And this is the defensive..."
Ma Jintao seamlessly dove into the water, simulating a drowning victim.
Han Yu chose his angle carefully, swimming cautiously against the current, seizing the mont to control Ma Jintao’s arms, hugging his neck from behind like enforcing a asure, and swimming backwards.
Back on the shallows, Han Yu continued: "We必须认识救援的危险性,哪怕我们看上去很安全!水上救援,时间就是生命,对我们来说可能会出现各种突发情况,但无论遇到什什么情况,都要根据抛,划,游原则施救."
"Which ans if possible, throw a rope for rescue, if feasible, row a boat to rescue, only in unavoidable situations should you swim for rescue like I just did. How to throw a rope, how to tie the rope pack, and how to use boats for rescue will be taught next. For today, focus on mastering various swimming postures."
The training outline was distributed to trainees earlier.
There are many subjects yet to be trained, such as individual water protection, water rope throwing, live bait rescue, inflatable rubber dinghy assembly, assault boat driving, unpowered boat operation,_fault-tolerant_boating, boat ladder collaborate use, rescue paddleboard application, overturn currents and rope techniques, nightti rescue simulations, rubber boat capsizing self-rescue, underwater escaping, surface towing, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and more.
