Chapter 408: The Hand of the Son
After a day of rescue work, Yingxiu Town has entered the final stage of rescue, but the sky at this time has been covered with a black veil.
The fall of night not only made the rescue work more difficult, but the consequent drop in temperature also added more variables to the survivors under the rubble.
Despite this, there are still many soldiers, rescue team members and volunteers who are nervously but actively saving lives at the scene with the help of searchlights, flashlights and generators to generate temporary electricity.
Because they know that with every additional second, the chances of survival of the survivors drop a little, and they have to race against the clock.
At the same time, on the ruins of Yingxiu Town Central Primary School, a group of people are also racing against time to rescue a girl.
And their only hope can only be pinned on the dark shadow flying in the sky.
At first, there was only one more red dot in the night sky in the distance, but this red dot became brighter and closer, and a strong wind sound came from the sky overhead, and everyone couldn't help but look up.
At this point, everyone could see that it was a helicopter, and it was flying towards the ruins of the central elementary school in Yingxiu Town, where there was a roaring bonfire.
In the dark of the mountains at night, this campfire is the only thing that a helicopter can use to orient itself.
As the red dot got closer and closer, people on the ground felt a gust of wind blowing overhead, blowing their faces with pain.
And the noise of the helicopter rotors makes it difficult to even speak.
The helicopter began to land slowly, and the fuselage was getting closer and closer, this is a slender twin-engine quadcopter helicopter, nearly 20 meters long fuselage combined with a height of 4 meters, painted in the traditional olive green paint of our army, and now this is a military helicopter.
Only a few people recognized it as a UH-60 medium utility helicopter, also known as the "Black Hawk". The manufacturer is the Sikorsky Aircraft Company of the United States, and it is also one of the main helicopter types in active service in the United States Army, which has been highly recognized and evaluated by the international military equipment community due to its excellent design and quality.
China once purchased 24 Black Hawks in the 80s, although these Black Hawks have been in service for a long time, but because of their advanced design and solid materials, they have maintained a stable and reliable service record for more than 20 years, and have successfully completed disaster relief and emergency response and other work under harsh geographical and climatic conditions.
With its rounded nose and curved back, the helicopter resembles a bird of prey ready to pounce on the enemy at any moment. On the battlefield, it is like a demon suddenly pouring out of the night, which makes people unguarded and frightened, and in peacetime, it has become the first choice for renovating medical and transport helicopters with good versatility and wide rear compartment, appearing in all kinds of disasters to transport the wounded and save lives.
Although these search and rescue team members have a good understanding of Ren Pingsheng's background, they are also praised for being able to get the command to dispatch military helicopters.
However, for Shi Xiaolian, whose life is on the verge of death, only this black eagle can achieve her goal of saving her.
In order to do this, Ren Pingsheng can be said to be at any cost.
......
The night flight of helicopters has always been one of the weaknesses of our army, and it has been rumored that in order to protect these dozens of Black Hawks from difficult times, they usually try to avoid projects with high risk factors during training, and night flights are naturally among them.
So after contacting the helicopter, although Ren Pingsheng lit the bonfire in advance as a guiding signal, he was also sweating about whether the helicopter could land safely.
Fortunately, the pilots of our army were skilled and guaranteed, and the flight and landing of the Black Hawk were smooth, and the time to arrive was very good.
Under the contact and guidance of Ren Pingsheng, the military's Black Hawk helicopter successfully landed on the ruins of Yingxiu Town Central Primary School, and the random arrival of medical personnel quickly transferred Shi Xiaolian on the stretcher to the plane.
As an important person, Ren Pingsheng naturally boarded the plane together and flew to the West China Hospital of Shuchuan University in the rear.
......
Landing with the Black Hawk, there are also front-line reporters and photographers from China Television, who with the unique sensitivity of media practitioners, discovered the news value of this helicopter night trip and night landing in the earthquake-stricken area, and lost no time in making a request to take this Black Eagle on a special mission to Yingxiu Town, the epicenter, to collect news materials for earthquake relief.
As soon as the reporter arrived at the scene, he immediately pulled the rescue team members to interview, and when they heard that the rescuers who first arrived in Yingxiu Town were not the "iron army" sent by the command, but a group of volunteers composed of civilian "travelers", their interest came.
Not only that, but the China Television reporter also inquired that the motive of this group of "travel volunteers" was triggered by a Weibo, and they soon became interested in the "Save Xiao Xiuxiu" action.
Ignoring the fatigue of the "travelers", they grabbed Luo Geping and asked again and again, and began to interview.
......
Ren Pingsheng, who was on the plane, didn't know what was happening in Yingxiu Town, which was gradually moving away, and at this moment, in his heart, there was only the girl in front of him who was on the line of life and death.
Although the person was still in a coma, when the doctor was treating her back wound, Shi Xiaolian's body nerves naturally reacted, her fingers twitched and twitched, Ren Pingsheng hurriedly reached out to hold her hand, only to feel that the little hand was cold and cold, almost like the deceased.
Ren Pingsheng tried to suppress the tears that were about to come out of the frame, and gently rubbed Shi Xiaolian's little hands with his own hands, trying to warm her and wake her up with the temperature of his palm.
"Xiao Pity, I am in my life, you must wake up, you must not fall asleep. ”
"Little mercy, didn't you say that you still have to go to many, many places and help many, many children...... You can't forget that there are still a lot of children waiting for you......"
"Little mercy, you can't sleep, you still have a lot of ideals that have not been realized, I will work with you to realize your ideals......"
Looking at Shi Xiaolian in a coma, Ren Pingsheng said it over and over again, rubbing her hands over and over again, these words seemed to be said to Shi Xiaolian, and it seemed to be said to herself.
The black eagle with that red dot was still speeding in the vast night.
Unconsciously, Ren Pingsheng found that there were a few tears on the back of his hand, but he didn't care about them.
Because, he felt that the little hand in his palm began to gradually warm up.
