PLA Commanders and Soldiers

After the outbreak of the coronavirus, the PLA resolutely implemented the decisions and deployment of the CPC Central Committee, and promptly launched joint prevention and control mechanism. Emergency teams were drawn to the front line, becoming an indispensable force in the anti-epidemic fight. 

At the meeting held on February 23 to promote nationwide epidemic control and economic and social development, Xi Jinping pointed out that the PLA commanders and soldiers had acted upon orders and were brave to fight a tough battle, which demonstrated the political character of the people's army and their loyalty to the Party and the people.

"If a war befalls, the PLA is ready to fight when the call comes." Under the unified command of the CPC Central Committee, more than 10,000 PLA medical staff rushed to the front line and devoted themselves to saving lives. They were among the first to start receiving patients and treating the seriously ill in the isolated wards. Over 1,000 troops and 100 vehicles were mobilized every day to assist the local epidemic prevention and control departments in transporting and unloading medical supplies, cleaning and disinfecting, and posting guards. Militias were dispatched by provincial military commands (garrison commands) to assist local authorities in managing visitors, disinfecting public places, performing vigilance duty, delivering goods and materials, communicating epidemic prevention to the public and other tasks.

"Soldiers are always be ready to go to the battlefield!" From strengthening leadership to rushing to aid Wuhan, from treating the ill to providing comprehensive support, from organizing emergency-related scientific researches to expanding personnel and material delivery capacity, the PLA has once again demonstrated the sheer force of putting people first: Where there is emergency, there is the pioneering people's army; where there is a need, there is the dedicating people's army.

解放軍指戰員

新冠疫情發生后,人民解放軍堅決貫徹中共中央決策部署,迅速啟動聯防聯控工作機制,緊急抽組精兵強將奔赴疫情防控第一線,成為抗疫戰線不可或缺的重要力量。習近平在2月23日召開的統籌推進新冠肺炎疫情防控和經濟社會發展工作部署會議上指出,人民解放軍指戰員聞令而動、敢打硬仗,展現了人民子弟兵忠于黨、忠于人民的政治品格。

若有戰,召必至。在中共中央統一指揮下,全軍一萬余名醫護人員火線馳援,全力投入抗疫一線救治,第一時間批量接收患者,第一時間進入隔離病區,第一時間診治危重病人。武警部隊平均每天動用1000多名兵力、100余臺車輛,協助地方疫情防控部門擔負醫療物資調運卸載、防疫洗消和警戒值守等任務。各省軍區(警備區)出動民兵配合地方完成外來人員管理、場所消毒、警戒執勤、物資運輸、防疫宣傳等任務。

“是軍人,就要隨時上戰場!”從加強領導指揮到火速馳援武漢,從全力救治患者到做好綜合保障,從組織應急科研攻關到加強人員物資投送,人民解放軍再次展現了人民至上的硬核力量:哪里有危難,哪里就有共和國軍人在沖鋒;哪里有需要,哪里就有人民子弟兵在奉獻。
