When the snowball fights in the north were in full swing, the southern coastal areas ushered in the last typhoon of 2018 - "flame".

When I was still in the Philippine Sea, the "flame" was just a tropical storm, and the direction of the movement was directly west. According to the prediction, it would not affect my country's coastal areas, and at most it would bring some heavy rainfall. Unexpectedly, after entering the South China Sea, it suddenly became a strong typhoon, and the central wind reached level 17. A sharp turn came to Guangdong Province, which made the prevention and control department nervous.

On December 20, the theater issued an order to defend against typhoon and fight against Taiwan with all its strength, and its troops entered the highest alert state for non-military operations. Deputy Chief of Staff Pei Lei had just made a request to the 303rd Comprehensive Training Base, and the instructor team of the base should be used as a combat readiness mobile team at the garrison. Political Commissar Yuan attached great importance to the defense against typhoon and fight against Taiwan.

The garrisons in the southern coastal areas have rich experience in typhoon defense and anti-Taiwan, and have complete various plans. After ordering the troops, they will complete the typhoon defense and anti-Taiwan work in the camp in the shortest time.

All outdoor training in the new recruits regiment was suspended and all changed to indoor training, mainly physical training. At the same time, each recruit company left a cadre and a non-commissioned officer, and the rest of the instructors gathered together, and some people from the public service team were on standby at any time.

When making mobilization and deployment, Political Commissar Yuan said, "According to the predictions of the military and local meteorological departments, the intensity of the flame is the largest since this year, and the maximum wind force after landing may reach level 16. The landing area they predicted is the coastal area between Pengcheng and Yangjiang, which will land around 9 o'clock tonight, and it is very likely to attack Pengcheng head-on. Comrades must strengthen their awareness and be prepared to fight a tough battle against typhoons! From now on, all of you are on standby in the agency building, all the supplies are loaded, and they must be dispatched within one minute! The vehicles carrying assault boats must be inspected every two hours to ensure that there is no accident!"

The atmosphere of war suddenly became stronger.

After the mobilization meeting of the instructor team ended, Su Pingguo pulled Li Shuai aside and said, "I have to call home quickly."

Li Shuai handed over the phone.

Then he heard Su Pingguo call from home and said, "Dad, when the typhoon is coming, hurry up and prepare, stock up on some food, and all the windows are covered with newspapers. Don't go out after finishing these things in the afternoon."

"I know what typhoons are strange? Don't worry about your family and how your troops are. Don't go out to fight against Taiwan, right?" Su Pingguo's father was calm and gentle. People in Guangdong Province have long been numb to the typhoon attack. If they don't experience it a few times a year, they will not get used to it. Instead, they are worried that their son in the army will be dispatched to fight against Taiwan.

Su Pingguo said, "This is not accurate. You must pull it out until the order is over. Don't worry about me."

"You pay attention."

After hanging up the phone, the TV began to broadcast emergency news, and the instructors surrounded him to watch. It was at 2:15 pm, all schools in the city were closed, and all students went home. The emergency department immediately started work in accordance with the emergency plan. The city government called on the citizens not to panic and to take relevant defense measures in an orderly manner.

For a moment, the whole city entered an emergency preparedness state, but the people in Pengcheng had long been accustomed to such emergency preparations several times a year. No one was nervous and were preparing step by step. On the contrary, most people were excited about the typhoon coming to the school unit for vacation, and there were all kinds of funny jokes on the Internet.

Under a strong and complete prevention mechanism, most people can maintain a good attitude before disasters come.

In the large conference room of the agency building, Political Commissar Yuan led a few staff members to study the plan on the Pengcheng map. In terms of permanent soldiers training, the 303rd comprehensive training base is the most. They have more than 1,000 new recruits. After they have rank, they will become real soldiers, and the leaders will no longer regard them as ordinary people.

Li Shuai has been observing and analyzing, especially looking at the real-time satellite cloud map synchronized from the meteorological department. He touched his chin from time to time and was very focused.

"Can you understand?" Niu Jun was wearing a photojournalist style, and was ready to go out at any time, and came over to ask Li Shuai.

Li Shuai nodded slightly, "I have been stationed in the air force base for a while before, and learned some with the pilot."

"Tell me, I saw something." Niu Jun asked with interest.

Li Shuai said, "It doesn't feel good. This flame may be even stronger than predicted."

"Is that true?" Niu Jun was even more surprised. "The prediction result was jointly made by the military and local meteorological departments. Their predictions were inaccurate?"

"No." Li Shuai said solemnly, "Weather is the most difficult to predict. At that time, the training was held at the Air Force Base. The chief of their meteorological observatory said that whenever you think you can grasp the weather changes, the weather will always give you a warning. Ninety percent of the air dangers in their Air Force are related to sudden weather changes."

Niu Jun said, "Then your prediction may not be accurate."

"That's right, so I said it's a feeling." Li Shuai said, "This flame was just an ordinary tropical storm at the beginning. Look at the previous cloud map, it was relatively stable for a long time. Generally, this tropical storm will slowly disappear, and at worst it will bring some rain to the coastal areas."

He pointed to the inflection point of the "flame" path and said, "Look at this inflection point, it turned decisively from west to north, and then quickly increased into a strong typhoon, and the movement speed also showed a steady increase."

"What does it mean?" Niu Jun was even more curious.

Li Shuai pointed to the north and said, "In the past few days, the northern part of my country has suffered heavy snowfalls in a large area due to the influence of the strong cold air in Siberia. Look, a huge vortex is full of cold air. You should know the cold and hot effect? ​​The flame is a strong typhoon developed by a tropical storm, and it carries hot air. The hot air will squeeze the cold air. Conversely, the cold air vortex is attractive to the hot air and will continuously enhance the influence of the hot air."

Niu Jun understood a little, "No wonder it's usually snowing in the north when there is a typhoon in the south, and there is cold air going south or something."

"That's right. It's probably because the flames were affected by this powerful Siberian cold air mass, so the subsequent development is probably difficult to figure out." Li Shuai said solemnly.

Niu Jun said, "I don't think there is a big problem. I have rich experience in typhoon prevention and anti-Taiwan in the southern coastal areas."

Pointing to the TV, Li Shuai said, "I'm afraid of being careless. If the wind level exceeds the prediction after the flames land, I'm afraid it will catch everyone off guard."

Niu Jun took out his mobile phone to look through the information on the social platform and found that most people showed great optimism. Some people even ran to the beach to watch the typhoon landing with their own eyes. Some people started live broadcasts to attract fans and desperately, which was not a good sign.
