A squad of armed policemen from the No.1 detachment from the Jiangxi Provincial Corps of the Chinese People's Armed Police transfer the deluge-beleaguered villagers on small boats towards the safety belt in their preemptive rescue operation against heavy rainfall, at Pingding Town, Yujiang County, east China's Jiangxi Province, June 20, 2010. Grievous flood and waterlog ravage in central and northern Jiangxi after strong downpours and torrential rain that continuously pound the areas, leaving people in many places beleaguered and isolated by surging torrents. Armed policemen are swiftly mobilized to rescue the people besieged by flood. So far, heavy rain in south China has left 175 people dead and 107 others missing since June 13. [Xinhua]
