Chapter 23 Search and Rescue Missions for Chemical Plants
In the final analysis, it was Xiao Zhang's obedient appearance in front of Captain Liu in the past that deceived Captain Liu, making Captain Liu think that Xiao Zhang still likes search and rescue dog training and is also a serious and responsible person for his work. Otherwise, if Captain Liu knew that Xiao Zhang thought so in his heart, he would definitely not hand over Haji to Xiao Zhang.
After Captain Liu left, the days suddenly became dull. Xiao Zhang will take Haji to train every day, but the training content and interaction can't be compared with Captain Liu at all, and it is not too much to say that it is lifeless.
Every day, Xiao Zhang faced Haji with a straight face, and there was nothing else to say except the basic password. Even with Captain Liu's reward for Haji's regular training process, Haji only eats fixed dog food and side food every day, which is equivalent to canceling most of Haji's snacks.
In addition, although Xiao Zhang is also cleaning the kennel for Haji every day according to the rules, and regularly bathing Haji for hygiene. But the effect of that work is limited to the quantity, but the quality is certainly not at all.
For example, has the kennel been cleaned up? Cleaned up, indeed cleaned up. However, it took Captain Liu 40 minutes to clean the kennel, inside and out, and even the walls of the kennel would be cleaned. But does Xiao Zhang do all this work...... It's over in less than twenty minutes. As for the details, what are the details? Anyway, the work is done, but as for whether it is good or not, who cares? Anyway, no one says no, and it will be over? Haji knows, but Haji can't speak, so he can't go to the squadron leader to complain!
Of course, Haji didn't want to complain, he came to the search and rescue dog squadron for a purpose, as long as he could raise himself strong and have the ability to travel long distances. Now that the goal has been achieved, and Captain Liu, Bole, is no longer there, he is naturally happy to be idle, and he can grow up according to his own ideas.
In the following days, Haji and Xiao Zhang both started the mixed life mode. One is not enthusiastic about training and can only reluctantly take Haji to engage in basic training and study work, and the other does not have high requirements for completing training, as long as Xiao Zhang does not have clear requirements, Haji can also mix and mix. When the basic training was completed, Haji hid and went to work on his own physical training. He now knows how far his physical fitness is from that of a dolphin level of a search and rescue dog, and he hopes to train his physical fitness well in the coming days, so that he can maintain good physical condition when he leaves the search and rescue dog squadron and have the ability to deal with all emergencies.
For Haji's habit, Xiao Zhang didn't take it seriously at all. For him, this is the time when Haji is tired of going crazy and playing, and since Haji is willing to do this, it can also improve Haji's physical level, and he doesn't have to worry about it, then he is still happy to be idle!
The other trainers of the squadron watched this scene, but no one pretended not to see it. For those who are in the middle, these things have nothing to do with them, and they are naturally reluctant to say anything. For those experts in the squadron, most of them once wanted to be the one who took over Haji, and what they said to Xiao Zhang at this time seemed to be jealous, so they could only look at it in their eyes and be anxious in their hearts, but there was nothing good to do. They could only hope that the squadron leader would find out about this situation as soon as possible and replace Xiao Zhang, so that they would have a chance to become Haji's guide. With Haji's IQ and ability, there is nothing difficult about making up for these lessons, right?
For the leaders of the squadron that had just been reorganized, the combination of Haji and Xiao Zhang was specially taken care of by Captain Liu when he left, and they also responded with an experimental idea. Captain Liu left a message before leaving, Haji is a very special dog, so smart that he can't use common sense to deal with it, so he doesn't recommend using the previous training method to take Haji, thinking that the trainer should give Haji as much autonomy as possible and let it develop freely for a while.
Of course, Captain Liu also left a sentence, that is, it is recommended that Haji should team up with other search and rescue dogs to participate in the mission when he is on a mission. Because Captain Liu found that Haji seemed to be very competitive, he would perform very well when performing tasks with other dogs, and he also showed a strong sense of teamwork, and was even able to give tasks to his own kind when performing tasks. Such a dog had never appeared before, so Captain Liu put forward such a request and arrangement, and the other leaders of the squadron would agree to Captain Liu's arrangement before leaving.
The few people who waited to see Haji's problems were disappointed, although Xiao Zhang didn't pay much attention to Haji's training, but with Haji's intelligence and understanding, there was basically no training that could stump him. All that matters is how much enthusiasm Hadji has for training and whether there is pressure for him to be willing to stand out.
But now that everyone has seen Haji's ability, and because of Xiao Zhang, Captain Liu, and the squadron leader's special view of Haji, no one is willing to cause any pressure and challenge to Haji, so the days go on like this. However, Haji's fitness continued to improve, and although he was not yet in the prime of a dog, after a few months of training, he already felt like he could jump at least four rings of fire.
If you exercise regularly, or wait for the body to strengthen a little more after half a year, it is not impossible to skip five fire rings, or even six fire rings. Of course, Haji knew what that training was for, and he didn't want to be a circus! he just wanted to improve his burst power and speed, as well as his stamina and endurance, which were all necessary reserves to achieve his final plan.
In the blink of an eye, when Haji was one year and two months old, he had been in the search and rescue dog squadron for four months. And several search and rescue dogs, who were born at the same time as him and arrived early in the search and rescue dog squadron, have been trained for more than eight months. At this time, Haji had easily completed all the subjects of the primary training of search and rescue dogs, and then Haji carried out the search and rescue dog assessment with these search and rescue dogs of the same age, reaching the standard of search and rescue dogs.
Although Haji did not perform well in the assessment, he still completed those subjects with great ease. Some subjects were even completed in a game-like state of Haji, and the squadron leaders saw their eyelids jump, but they were a little helpless.
The other squadron leaders are not unaware of the combination of Haji and Xiao Zhang, and they also know that Xiao Zhang is not satisfied with training and is already planning to retire from the army. However, during this time, both Haji and Xiao Zhang behaved decently, and they couldn't say anything. Maybe after Xiao Zhang retires from the army, then he will arrange other excellent trainers in the line of Haji, and it will be convenient for them to explain to Captain Liu, right? At least Haji's performance during this period is okay, and it will not be a disappointing Captain Liu. But how did they know that it was their laissez-faire and waiting mentality that created the next series of events.
At the same time that Haji passed the assessment and became a qualified search and rescue dog, his reward for the last mission was also officially announced. The reason why this award came so late was because after the drug dealer was caught, the police had to go through supplementary reconnaissance and dig deep into his upper and lower homes through the clues of the captured drug dealer to expand the results of the battle and need to keep it secret. So it wasn't until a few months later, after the case finally had a final result and could be made public, that the rewards for Haji and Captain Liu, as well as all the personnel and search and rescue dogs who participated in the search and rescue mission that night, were finally decided.
Although Haji was not an official search and rescue dog at the time of that mission, the squadron still reported Haji's information to his superiors according to the official search and rescue dog. Now that the reward has been set, Haji and Captain Liu have both received a third-class merit. The other search and rescue dogs who participated in the search and rescue mission that night were jointly awarded a collective third-class meritorious service.
Third-class merit, in the search and rescue dog squadron is not a great reward. At least the dolphin has three third-class merits, and even one second-class merit. But like Haji, when he officially became a search and rescue dog, he was able to get a third-class merit, which is a rare situation in the squadron. It's a pity that Haji is now under the hands of a trainer who has little pursuit and ability, and many capable trainers can only watch and get angry, but there is nothing good to do.
Just when people thought that Haji would not make any more achievements under Xiao Zhang, and Haji would only have a new day after Xiao Zhang was discharged from the army, Haji surprised people again.
In the early morning of one day, the alarm of the search and rescue dog squadron sounded, and a deflagration accident occurred at a chemical plant nearly 100 kilometers away. A five-story office and production building in the factory collapsed, leaving many people trapped in the rubble and requiring the use of search and rescue dogs. After receiving the task, the search and rescue dog squadron immediately mobilized five search and rescue dogs in accordance with the requirements of the superiors and rushed to the rescue by vehicle.
It took nearly an hour for the five search and rescue dogs of the search and rescue dog squadron and their handlers to arrive at the scene of the incident. By this time, the fire in the chemical plant had been extinguished, but the foul smell of chemicals was still wafting from the chemical plant, and Haji was only sneezing as soon as he got out of the car.
Of the five search and rescue dogs dispatched this time, the leader is, of course, the dolphin, who ranked first in the search and rescue dog squadron, and the second is the fox that appeared in the last mission. Don't look at the fox is not good at searching and rescuing by boat, but it still performs very well in other missions. Especially this guy has a lot of ideas and is very smart, otherwise he wouldn't have earned the name of fox.
In addition to Haji, the other two dogs are search and rescue dogs who are about the same age as Haji and have just passed the assessment. In fact, the reason why the squadron let Haji and his three new search and rescue dogs participate in the battle is not as meaningful as letting them get familiar with the actual combat environment. After all, the gap between the IQ and training performance of search and rescue dogs is not particularly large, and what really affects their search and rescue effectiveness is the ability of search and rescue dogs to adapt to the environment.
