After the outbreak of the new type of coronary pneumonia, the people's army firmly responded to President Xi's order that "the epidemic is the order, and prevention and control is the responsibility". The "epidemic" commando team composed of more than 4000 military medical personnel rushed to Wuhan from all directions to fight against the epidemic day and night, and spare no effort to fight against the virus. In this battle for life, they gave the best answer with the most beautiful "retrograde": where there is danger, there are Republic soldiers charging; Where there is need, there are people's soldiers who are dedicated.

The people's army insists on the supremacy of the people

In this battle of epidemic prevention and control, the Chinese People's Liberation Army firmly established the people centered development idea, practiced the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and always put the safety and health of the people first. It is the firm position of the people and deep feelings of the people that have become the strong confidence and strength of the people's army in the forefront of epidemic prevention and control.

"Life is more important than Mount Tai, and the interests of the people are above everything" is the starting point of all China's practices in combating the epidemic. From flood fighting and rescue to earthquake relief, and then to the fight against COVID-19, the key reason why the people's army can pass the big exam time and time again with high scores is to be firmly loyal to the party and the people, and always adhere to the nature and purpose of the people's army. In this sudden test, the people's army established and improved the anti epidemic leading organization at the first time; Establish a command and coordination mechanism for epidemic prevention and control as soon as possible; Establish a 24-hour joint prevention and control mechanism with the local government as soon as possible; Connect with Hubei Province and Wuhan City as soon as possible, and comprehensively promote the preparation of Huoshen Mountain Hospital and other three hospitals; The first time to organize the military medical team and anti epidemic materials to arrive in Wuhan... fully demonstrated the original mission of the people's army as always. The whole army has always been linked with the people of the country, through thick and thin, with fearless and aggressive interpretation of the principle of "people first, life first".

"I would like to ask the people of the whole country to rest assured that in the face of the epidemic, we, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, will never retreat!" This is the solemn commitment of the people's army to the people of the whole country, and shows the belief that the people's army will win. After the military supported Hubei medical team arrived in Wuhan, they raced against the plague devil with indomitable will and launched a series of charges on the battlefield of epidemic prevention and control to protect people's lives and health. Looking back at the bright red party flag and shining party emblem on the front line of the "epidemic" war, Party organizations at all levels and the majority of Party members of the task force resolutely implement President Xi's important instructions, bravely act as the anti epidemic vanguard commandos, fight ahead and charge ahead, and express their loyalty to the Party and the people with practical actions. The light of the belief of "vowing to die and never retreat" has gathered a powerful force for the people's army, melting the indomitable spirit and the eternal soul of the army.

It is the glorious tradition of the people's army to shoulder heavy burdens bravely and be brave and tenacious. Looking back at history, no matter how arduous the task is and how complicated the situation is, the heroic people's army has always been brilliant with loyalty, fearlessness and responsibility. Seventeen years ago, when the SARS epidemic was raging, all the officers and soldiers of Xiaotangshan Hospital excellently fulfilled the tasks entrusted by the Party and the people, creating the world's lowest case fatality rate and the miracle that all the medical staff were not infected. Today, military medical workers strictly implement the decision and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and President Xi Jinping on epidemic prevention and control, successfully complete the medical treatment task, achieve "victory, zero infection", and create a new miracle again. From victory to new victory, the people's army has lived up to the great trust of the Party and the people. It relies on the fighting spirit of daring to struggle and win, and the fine style of not afraid of hard work and facing difficulties. It proves with facts that the heroic nature of the people's army is forged with blood and life, and written with sweat and dedication.

Perseverance, the People's Army fulfills its mission

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the whole military has resolutely implemented the decisions and orders of the CPC Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and President Xi Jinping. After more than 80 days of hard work, it has achieved the goal of "winning and zero infection", and has made outstanding contributions to winning the people's war on epidemic prevention and control, the overall war, and the war of resistance.

Under the unified command of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, the PLA has sent more than 4000 medical personnel to Hubei to undertake the rescue work in three hospitals, including Vulcan Mountain. Since arriving in Wuhan on January 24, the military supported Hubei medical team, under the organization of the military front command and coordination group, has spared no effort to support the local epidemic prevention and control and protect the people's health. According to statistics, Wuhan Huoshen Mountain Hospital, Taikang Tongji Hospital and Maternal and Child Optics Valley Hospital have 2856 beds, and 7198 patients have been diagnosed; 346 patients over 80 years old were successfully cured, the oldest being 100 years old; Huoshen Mountain Hospital set a record of 421 patients admitted that day. This epidemic prevention and control struggle is a big test to test the effectiveness of the reform of the people's army. The people's army has once again defended the interests of the people with action, and demonstrated its firm position and deep love for the people. This is a vivid portrayal of the concept of people first and life first.

While the military medical staff actively participated in medical treatment tasks, the military scientific and technological front also actively responded to the call of the CPC Central Committee, organized interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary scientific research teams, coordinated scientific research, clinical work, prevention and control, and closely cooperated with all parties involved in industry, education and research. Positive progress was made in a short time, providing strong support for epidemic prevention and control. In particular, the recombinant new coronal vaccine developed by the Academy of Military Sciences passed the clinical research registration review and was approved to enter the phase II clinical trial, making important contributions to winning the battle of epidemic prevention and control. The outstanding performance of the people's army in the anti epidemic war reflects the people's army's creative spirit of respecting science, seeking truth and innovation, the solidarity spirit of helping each other in the same boat and preventing and governing the masses, the dedication spirit of facing difficulties and standing out, and the fighting spirit of firm confidence and daring to win, which are the solid reliance for the Party and the people to rest assured.

The people's army has built a strong fortress at the forefront of the epidemic, handed over satisfactory answers to the motherland and the people, and accumulated valuable experience in medical treatment, nursing, prevention and control, security and other aspects, laying a solid foundation for the next step of epidemic prevention and control work and international cooperation in epidemic resistance. With the global spread of the epidemic, the Chinese People's Liberation Army firmly implements President Xi's proposition that "mankind is a community of shared destiny", actively carries out international anti epidemic cooperation with multinational defense departments and armies, sends military anti epidemic expert groups to Laos, Cambodia and other four countries, and sends military anti epidemic expert groups to Pakistan, Russia The military forces of more than 20 countries, including Thailand, provided epidemic prevention material assistance, held video conferences with the military forces of 10 countries, including Russia and South Africa, to exchange experience in epidemic prevention and control, and contributed "China's strength" to the international community's fight against the epidemic. The Chinese army will continue to strengthen international cooperation in epidemic prevention with defense departments and armies of other countries, and work together to overcome difficulties. China's role as a major country not only lays a solid foundation for China's development, but also contributes China's wisdom to the prevention and control of epidemic situations in the world.

The background remains unchanged, and the people's army and people support it

In the anti epidemic examination, the people's army showed the political nature of the people's soldiers, implemented the people centered development idea into all decision-making arrangements and practical work, won the trust and support of the people, promoted the situation of national mobilization and participation, and gathered strong and indestructible forces to overcome the epidemic.

The sudden COVID-19 epidemic is an unprecedented challenge. On New Year's Eve, when thousands of families are reunited, Wuhan has touched the hearts of all people in the country. At this time, the medical team selected from the Army, Navy and Air Force Military Medical University went to the war, becoming the first medical team to support Hubei after the COVID-19 epidemic. Starry night rush to help, like a spark. One by one, "the first time" witnessed the "military speed" of every minute, and adhered to the credo of "people's expectations, mission must be achieved". During the test of this catastrophic epidemic, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China carefully evaluated the situation, reasonably formulated plans, and effectively organized and implemented them. It led the officers and men to gather strength and overcome difficulties. Everything on the front line was in order. The officers and men fought bravely and worked together to deliver to the people the confidence that "the PLA is determined" to win.

Through the storms of history, from the war years to the peaceful period, the progress and victory of the people's army can not be separated from the heroic people. The great power to fight the epidemic is also rooted in the people. In the front line of epidemic prevention, the people's army set an example of vanguard, actively engaged in work with high attitude and fearless spirit, set up flags and set up benchmarks. It is with the care and support of the people that the front-line anti epidemic officers and soldiers are confident, brave and tenacious. They can fight and win when they are called, which adds luster to the party and military flags, encourages the determination of the people to defeat the epidemic, and gathers the strength of the people to participate in the fight against the epidemic.

Winning the battle of epidemic prevention and control is a people's war without onlookers. "The military and the people are as united as one person, and we can see who can defeat them in the world." This is the first rule of the people's war, and it is also an irrefutable truth. In the early days of the outbreak, Wuhan took measures to close the city, but the people of Wuhan did not fight alone, and the people of the whole country were the strong backing. It is seen that all the way to the city, with the help of troops, materials and warmth, people gathered from all directions of the motherland with the deep feelings of their compatriots. The heroic and skillful people's soldiers have become a hard core force fighting at the forefront, and the united and brave Chinese people have become a strong guarantee to actively cooperate with the front line struggle. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee and President Xi Jinping, the army and the people worked together and worked hand in hand, demonstrating the heroic spirit of the Chinese people's unity of mind and unity, the mobilization ability of one side in difficulty and all sides to support, and the indomitable will to overcome difficulties and win decisive battles. The great practice of fighting against the epidemic has once again proved that to win the victory, it is impossible for a moment to get away from the rock solid military civilian unity, and it is impossible for a moment to get away from the concerted efforts of the military and the people.
