Chapter 845: The U.S. Army Calls for Help

In the next few days, a group of people wandered around Italy and went to France, Zhang Nan also had to see his baby son, and then planned to go to Austria.

On the 16th, Zhang Nan, who was in a small estate in the suburbs of Paris that he bought for Adjani, received a call from the Philippines.

"Damn!

hung up the phone, and Zhang Nan said a few words. Adjani had just entered the restaurant, and after listening to the second half, she hurriedly asked what the situation was.

Zhang Nan's face was a little serious, and he said: "Just over half an hour ago, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 on the Richter scale occurred in the northern Philippines, and the center was near the tourist city of Biyao over there.

My 'combined forces' have a military training base over there, and there will be more than 200 people here, and half of the nearby mountains are collapsing. ”

Adjani's face changed and she asked, "Did something happen to our people?"

With a magnitude 7.7 earthquake, it's no fun!

Last year's San Francisco earthquake was only 6.9 on the Richter scale, which caused heavy casualties, and this time it was 7.7, although the level was only 0.8 worse, but the energy released may be dozens or hundreds of times worse!

The difference in energy between the magnitudes of earthquakes, that's growing in geometric numbers!

Hearing Adjani's question, Zhang Nan smiled on his face and said, "Fortunately, the houses over there are all heat-insulated and earthquake-resistant board houses, and they haven't collapsed."

The mountain is on the inner side of the training ground, and when I chose the camp, I deliberately checked the terrain for fear of mudslides and landslides in the rainy season.

This time it's lucky, so far there are a few minor injuries, no problem, there are military doctors and medical guards over there, and they can deal with it.

Saying that, he looked at the table below, "The Philippines is now at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the earthquake broke out more than half an hour ago, and it is raining heavily over there, and the temporary supreme commander of the camp has sent sharp soldiers to check the specific situation nearby." ”

Earthquakes, when a strong earthquake erupts, are terrible, but even worse: it's the rainy season in Luzon, Philippines!

In the rainy season, the earthquake is still genuine, and it is difficult to carry out rescue in the alpine and jungle areas.

Zhang Nan was reborn, and only wrote down some of the most impressive major events, even the San Francisco earthquake was confused before he remembered it, as for the Philippines, a country with two earthquakes in three days, there will be an earthquake on July 16, 1990, and there is no image at all!

The incident of the eruption of the volcano was still because the volcanic eruption caused the US naval base to be abandoned, so I had a slight impression: it is difficult to say when the eruption will occur, but it doesn't matter that time, because a group of volcano experts predicted that the volcano would erupt soon, and the large-scale evacuation of people did not seem to have killed many people.

The assistant's security company personnel just need to follow the warning.

And the person who called Zhang Nan just now was Dwight Breed, the former platoon commander of the 1st Marine Division who was among the first to join the "joint forces."

After fulfilling the task of training the Botswana tribal forces, Bled is training jungle combat in Baguio with his old partner Zhang Zhenjin with a reinforced company.

Well, the jungle combat training is nearing the end, and when you encounter such a thing, the training must become disaster resistance!

Soon after, Thomas also called, and he also received a report from the camp.

Thomas obtained information with a different focus: there was no problem with the two holes dug up, but they were completely buried by the tail of the collapse, and the earth and rocks on them were at least hundreds of thousands of square meters!

Now it's good, the training base is basically scrapped, and the secret is buried in the ground forever.

After Boss Guan received a notice from Jin Wenbo, who was here to help Zhang Nan keep the satellite phone, this will also appear in the restaurant.

Zhang Nan explained the situation for a while, but it turned out that there was another phone call, or one or two dials - Thomas called again, and it was actually said that the John Navy Battalion of the US military stationed in Baguio used a satellite phone to contact the "joint forces" stationed in Baguio Camp.

First, when inquiring about the situation, the "Joint Forces" is, after all, a US security company, which not only has a close relationship with the US military, but also has a large number of military contractors who are US citizens.

Second, after learning that although the facilities of the "United Forces" camp were seriously damaged, the personnel were basically unhindered, he actually hoped that the "United Forces" camp would send personnel to participate in the rescue in Baguio City.

"Boss, the John Barracks themselves have suffered heavy losses, and the city of Baguio has become a hell on earth, with a large number of buildings collapsing, including many high-end hotels. ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he immediately said, "What's the situation at the airport?"

"Except for satellite phones and military radios, all communications in Baguio are cut off, and the situation at the airport is unknown.

However, judging by the army from the situation of the mountain landslide, the airport is not optimistic, the runway is misaligned and cracks are inevitable, and the three highways along with Baguio are estimated to be finished!"

Well, it is estimated that Baguio City will already become an island.

And that's not all!

“...... The barracks also revealed that Clark Air Force Base had suffered a lot of losses. ”

Well, high mountains, this plane rescue can't be counted on. Moreover, it is raining heavily, and it is about to fall into the night, so it is difficult to say whether the helicopter rescue can be counted on.

Zhang Nan waited for Thomas to finish speaking, and then summed up with Guan Xingquan beside him, and said into the phone: "Wait a minute, the situation near the camp is also more complicated, and I will give an order directly to the camp later." ”

It's complicated!

There is also a small collapse on the road from the camp to Baguio City, but it is not a big problem, there are small excavators in the camp, and the road can be opened in an hour or two.

The big problem is: another call came from Zhang Zhenjin, saying that the village not far from the camp was also finished, and more than half of it was destroyed by the earthquake!

Now it is already on TV: the epicenter is in the cities of Cabanatown and Baguio, 100 kilometers north of Manila, with an epicenter depth of about 10 kilometers, extremely high intensity, large damage, and a very wide range!

What's worse is that the earthquake actually shook twice in 3 minutes, and the power was about the same, each time more than 50 seconds!

According to the observation of personnel at the US Navy base, Baguio City was hit hard by the impact of the two earthquakes, and most of the buildings in the city collapsed.

Now Baguio is actually grounded in aircraft, blackouts, water outages, and communication paralysis.

The worst thing is that there are many hotels and schools in the collapsed buildings, and there are definitely a lot of people who are crushed below.

There are two five-star hotels in Baguio City, all of which have collapsed!

Since the U.S. military sent a request for rescue, then participate.

In disaster relief, Guan Boss is more experienced than Zhang Nan, and directly used satellite phones to contact Zhang Zhenjin and Braid.

"I am Guan Xingquan, Company Commander Bled, and Deputy Company Commander Zhang, and I now give you an order on behalf of the boss: leave a small number of necessary camp guards and assign some personnel to rescue that village.

At the same time, most of the personnel opened the road as soon as possible to rescue the Baguio city, the main rescue hotel and the rescue target recommended by the US Navy.

You have the right to make specific decisions, stay safe and bring the necessary tools and weapons!

That's all, keep in touch. ”
