On June 30th, the soldiers from the Boat Detachment of the People's Armed Forces were spotted blocking the breach together with local villagers. Due to days of strong rainfall, the water level of Wanfengqiao Reservoir in Tailong Town in Chongqing's Wanzhou District rose sharply, which, combined with the continued scouring of rainwater, resulted in a collapse breach that was about 15m in length, 5m in width, and 2m in depth on the outside dam of the reservoir, threatening the life and property safety of the masses in Wanfeng Village and the students in Tailong Middle School at the downstream. After the occurrence of the danger, 45 soldiers from the 3rd Battalion of the Boat Detachment of the People’s Armed Forces of Chongqing arrived at the site with professional emergency rescue devices, evacuated the masses, and filled sand bags into the breach to block it. |
