ZHENGZHOU, July 25 (Xinhua) -- Three Z-20 helicopters have been dispatched by the Chinese military to the flood-stricken areas of Henan Province to carry out disaster relief tasks.
The helicopters were sent to hard-hit and inaccessible areas such as the Hongzhou and Yuhe townships of Xinxiang City, marking the first time that Z-20 helicopters have participated in flood control and disaster relief missions.
