Chapter 846: Rescue
As soon as Brad, who was far away in Baguio, put down the phone, he immediately said to his deputy and the person in charge of the camp: "Zhang, Captain Jiang, what do you think of the distribution?"
The satellite phones purchased by the "United Forces" have a rare hands-free function, so as not to be too soft to hear, and Zhang Zhenjin and Jiang Hongrong, the camp management team, can also hear it clearly.
Zhang Zhenjin and Braider have always been happy partners, and when they heard this, they said: "I see that the original camp guards and military doctors are here, plus a medical guard, and Captain Jiang is in charge of the camp."
It is unlikely that the landslide in the northwest will continue to extend to the barracks, and as soon as possible, the beds will be vacated to organize a simple field rescue center.
The wounded also stayed, I will take a detachment to the border villages to rescue, you take the second or third teams, open the road as soon as possible, and go to the city.
The nearest hotel to us should be Hyatt, and if there is a situation over there, the nearest rescue will be carried out. ”
After speaking, Bled had no problem, but Jiang Hongrong added: "There are many tourists from various countries and Westerners in Hyatt, and the rescue team wants to play the banner of our company."
Also, Company Commander Bled and Deputy Company Commander Zhang are in a Chinese gathering area not far to the east of the Hyatt Hotel, and they may also need help. ”
The two operational commanders nodded, they didn't need to say more, they just knew it in their hearts.
Bred is an American, rescue five-star hotel, because there are many European and American tourists there: the original American ** people are anxious to save the Americans first, which is normal, more reliable than the US Embassy.
The boss is far away in Europe and has only been in Baguio for a short time, so he doesn't know that Baguio also has a large number of Chinese people living there.
About one-third of the military contractors who participated in the alpine jungle training this time were Chinese, and if the boss knew about the situation, it is estimated that he would have added a sentence similar to what Jiang Hongrong said.
However, it has already been said that the commander here has the right to decide on the spot, so it depends on the menu and the camp can be decided.
As for why the nearby villages should be positioned as the first rescue target?
Neighbors, you have to pull it first.
And this is not far from Baguio City, many of the labor force in the village are working in Baguio City, today Monday, the earthquake time is nearly half past four in the afternoon, this time is very fatal!
Because the adults who are working have not yet returned, the terrible thing is that the students who will go out to study in junior high school have already arrived home!
Filipinos can give birth, and there are many children in the village, which will cause the houses to collapse badly, needless to say, a large number of children will be buried under the rubble.
Even if the boss hates the Filipino monkeys, he will still pull those children.
And for the camp, the village also sends a batch of live poultry and fresh vegetables and fruits every week, which is not only cheaper than the delivery, but also fresh.
Jiang Hongrong was born as a chef in the cooking class, and now he is more like a logistics director and secretary, and he is relatively familiar with the villagers of that village, and he has been there many times: even if it is not to rescue neighbors, he has to pull acquaintances.
Then take action!
The camp garrison locked the ammunition depot and other warehouses, quickly sorted out two rows of barracks, and prepared to be used as temporary rescue wards: earthquake-resistant heat insulation board rooms, which can withstand another 8-magnitude earthquake!
The only medic is ready for surgery, two men who can be assistants are ready to make cameo nurses, and a medic is good at battlefield first aid, and can deal with injuries from broken arms and legs, not to mention flesh and skin injuries.
In each detachment, there are several combat-capable medics, carrying company-level medical tactical backpacks, and they set off with their detachments.
Ordinary contractors brought the necessary sapper shovels, as well as all the tools and equipment that could be found in the camp for rescue, rain ponchos, military lighting, communication equipment and pistols, and set off.
The semi-new Type 60 excavator had already set out to deal with the landslide, and it is estimated that it will be half an hour at most to open a passage for off-road vehicles to pass through the small-scale landslide.
There were many vehicles in the camp, and everyone set off in the heavy rain.
……
The area of the collapse is not far away, just about 500 meters away, and the advance scouts have already crossed it on foot.
As soon as the Humvee that Braid was riding in arrived, he got out of the car regardless of the heavy rain outside, and saw that the landslide had been cleared, so he quickly stepped forward and shouted to the guy who commanded the rescue: "Sergeant, how long will it take?"
If you don't shout, it's raining heavily and it's noisy, and the guy is still wearing a jumpsuit with a pullover, so he can't hear it.
"Lieutenant, it's going to be 10 minutes!"
It was a camp officer, not a subordinate of Brad, and called his rank.
Brad shouted that the other sergeant was generally not wrong, and the militarized organization of the "United Forces" was basically impressed by the officers in the company who were originally in the U.S. Army.
Since he is not an officer: even if it is just a senior soldier who has retired, if you call him a sergeant, people will be happy.
As for the other side, I heard that the "company commander" who led this group of troops used to serve in the Marine Corps and served as a platoon commander for several years.
The platoon commander is generally a second lieutenant, and the shouting lieutenant can't be wrong.
Except for a very small number of guys who are awarded the title of captain, most of the middle and senior US military officers have carried the rank of lieutenant, and in this situation where they are not very familiar with each other and the situation is relatively urgent, even if you call a general a "lieutenant", it doesn't matter to people, let alone that everyone has already retired.
The greeting of the American ** team.
Without looking at the map, Breed knew it would be quicker: just 10 minutes, the wheels of the car are faster than two legs, and a lot of equipment has to be pulled by a car, such as generators and hydraulic shears.
Wait.
"We wait. ”
An American-style salute, yelled into the intercom he was wearing in his ear, and stood on the side and watched, not returning to the dry car.
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, the excavator used a bucket horizontal broom to cut through a small pile of rocks and dirt, which rumbled forward and made way for the passage.
Brad shouted at the sergeant, "Stay safe and get lucky!"
I pulled the door open and got in.
It's good luck, because you don't know when the damn aftershocks are going to come and how powerful they will be, and this new landslide will happen at any time.
"Let's go!"
As the convoy moved forward, there were still a few rockfalls on the mountain roads, but they did not block the convoy. In this case, Braid knew that the soldiers on foot in front of him had portable radios, and the radio on the Humvee was not small, and the effective distance in the mountains was not close.
Don't dare to drive fast, it's already dark, and when the convoy goes around a small hill, you can see the city of Baguio ahead.
This season, not counting locals, there will be 9 to 120,000 foreign tourists from other parts of the Philippines in Baguio City, because of the coolness of the place and the fact that the rainy season does not make people feel hot and humid, but cool.
Two days ago, Braider overlooked the night view of Baguio City, like a city that never sleeps. And this will be: although it can't be said to be pitch black in front of you, there is only a very small amount of light, and it is almost invisible in the rain, like a ghost town!
