Chapter 403: Take Her Home
Yingxiu Town, located in the northern part of Wenchuan County, was the hardest hit area in this major earthquake.
But at the initial stage of the earthquake, experts did not realize this, and out of inertial thinking, Wenchuan County was listed as the epicenter.
Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, more disaster relief manpower and material resources are inclined to Wenchuan County, and in the vigorous disaster relief operations of the military and civilians, Yingxiu received rescue 24 hours later than other regions.
Fortunately, under the wise decision of the leader, the on-site command quickly reversed the strategic goal and asked the people's soldiers who had arrived in the disaster area to enter Yingxiu as soon as possible to find out the damage situation, open up traffic roads, and save lives first.
Although this people's soldier with a glorious tradition has the title of "Iron Army", the difficulties they encountered were also the greatest and most difficult to overcome.
Due to being in the epicenter of the earthquake, the terrain and landform here have been damaged the most seriously, the only county-level road has been completely collapsed, the mudslide and the magma spewing from the ground have distorted the roadbed, no means of transportation can move forward, the people's soldiers can only rely on their own iron feet to advance on foot, and with the support of the fine traditional style of the people's army, they finally arrived at Yingxiu Town, opening the only channel for rescue.
And Ren Pingsheng, who arrived overnight, staggered forward on this life passage at this moment together with the rescue troops who had been reinforced.
......
Although he had read countless relevant reports in the media in his previous life, Ren Pingsheng only realized how powerful this disaster was when he actually came to the scene.
The original road has long been buried by the landslide, and now the road they are traveling on is a road that the "Iron Army" uses their footboards to re-step above the soil and rocks of the landslide.
The mountain road is steep and curved, and while Ren Pingsheng walked, he also saw dense black figures on the mountain in the distance.
The commanders and fighters who led the way told him that these were people who spontaneously went to the earthquake area to look for their relatives, and they consciously did not occupy the life channel opened by the "Iron Army" and spontaneously looked for a road on the steep mountain range.
To prevent slipping, some people also tie some straw rope to the soles of their shoes or find a stick to help them climb the mountain.
Since there were many places where they could not climb up, everyone had to pull the branches and weeds on the side of the road to move slowly. Among them, there are many pregnant women and sick elderly people, who all want to see their relatives urgently, and they don't care about anything, so they all go to the disaster area.
"Fellow, where are you from, and what's the situation over there?" the man who went up the mountain kept asking the people who came down the mountain.
"It's so miserable! The whole town was flattened. You'll know when you go!" repeated the phrase to the man who came down the mountain.
Witnessing these scenes and hearing the conversations of the victims, Ren Pingsheng's already tangled heart even raised his throat.
Ren Pingsheng wished that he had a way to fly directly to the disaster area, but due to heavy rain and weather conditions, the military could not dispatch helicopters, so he could only rely on his own feet, step by step on this lifeline full of dangers.
These earth and rocks are piled up like mountains, the edges and corners of the stones are very sharp, because it just rained yesterday, from time to time there is a mixture of rainwater washing down from the gap in the top of the mountain, and on the right is the bottomless, rolling waves of the Minjiang River rapids.
Every step out is to risk a possible misstep, a slight carelessness, a foot in the air, this earthquake accident casualty list, about to add a name.
When traveling to a very large landslide area, only one person can pass through, and the rescue forces are crowded together, and if there are aftershocks or landslides at this time, the consequences are unimaginable.
And all this is very likely to happen, the aftershocks after the earthquake are constantly common sense, since the landing, Ren Pingsheng has experienced several aftershocks, knowing the power of nature.
The commanders and fighters who led the team shouted loudly: "Pay attention to the top of the mountain, pass quickly!" Everyone maintained a high degree of vigilance and caution, and it took nearly half an hour to pass through this dangerous area.
In the middle of the journey, Ren Pingsheng saw a large hole under his feet, and the magma spewed out of the ground was several kilometers long and had solidified. Later, I learned that this was the epicenter of the earthquake.
After passing this dangerous location, there are still 10 kilometers to go ahead, although Ren Pingsheng is physically exhausted, he relies on his tenacious willpower to support, always maintain speed, and follow the rescue force, he has only one belief in his heart.
"Find her, save her, take her home. β
......
If Ren Pingsheng had time to look at Weibo at this time, he would definitely be excited about an ongoing action on Weibo.
Most people don't know that before the "People's Iron Army" advanced into Yingxiu, there was already a team of volunteers entering Yingxiu Town.
This is a folk rescue team composed of mountaineering enthusiasts and members of the outdoor extreme sports club, who are all from nearby Lixian County, and usually organize outdoor sports such as climbing Wuguniang Mountain, and are very familiar with the terrain and landforms in this area.
After the earthquake, these "travelers" (mountaineering enthusiasts), organized by the team leader Luo Geping, spontaneously went to Yingxiu Town, where there was no news in the disaster, to find the whereabouts of the survivors.
The reason why they chose Yingxiu, in addition to being familiar with the geography of this area, the most important reason is that they are all Weibo netizens, and they have all seen the first message on Weibo from the earthquake-stricken area.
The sender of this message is Xiao Xiuxiu from Yingxiu Town.
And she, like all the victims of Yingxiu Town, has been silent for more than 72 hours.
While Weibo officials were busy organizing various donations and volunteer actions, Weibo netizens also spontaneously organized a number of civil rescue operations.
Among them, the most concerned and popular is the "Save Xiao Xiuxiu" operation.
On Weibo, #ζ―ζε°η§η§ηηι¨θ―ι’ε·²η»εΎε°δΊδΈεδΈηε ³ζ³¨, nearly one-tenth of Weibo netizens are paying attention to Xiao Xiuxiu's whereabouts and making suggestions on how to save Xiao Xiuxiu.
And the rescue team organized by Luo Geping is rushing to the forefront of the "Save Xiao Xiuxiu" operation.
After learning about Xiao Xiuxiu, Luo Geping organized a team of about 20 "travel friends" and began to go to Yingxiu.
When you reach the Ziping Reservoir, you can't move the vehicle.
Due to the full preparation in advance, they brought the assault boat and other outdoor tools in the car, Luo Geping decided to choose the waterway, they put a two-ton heavy assault boat on their shoulders, slowly moved over, this step alone, it took five or six hours, to five or six o'clock in the evening, before starting to launch in batches.
The assault boat reached the vicinity of the Aba aluminium plant, ran aground, and they began to abandon the boat and walk.
At this time, it was completely dark and it was still raining, so Luo Geping and the others could only move forward with a flashlight, and they could climb where they couldn't go.
The bridge has long been twisted into twisted flowers, and in the process of walking, the aftershocks continue, and the "travelers" are worried about encountering rolling stones or falling down the mountain.
The darkness made it impossible for the team to guess where they had gone, and the nervousness was draining people's physical strength, and by the time they couldn't walk and sat down to rest, it was already May 14, more than 4 o'clock in the morning.
When the sky was slightly white, Luo Geping arrived at a place one or two kilometers away from Yingxiu, so close that he could see that the town of tens of thousands of people had collapsed, so to speak, it could be said that it had been razed to the ground.
The surviving people gathered on the dam, and the wounded were carried to the flat dam and lined up in a row, with no end in sight.
Luo Geping suddenly burst into tears, regardless of the fatigue and fatigue of a day of crossing mountains and rivers, they relied on their own ability to participate in the rescue activities on the spot.
And these scenes were recorded and disseminated one by one by these "travel friends" through Weibo, so that countless netizens who were watching on Weibo deeply felt the disaster and rescue situation in Yingxiu Town as if they were at the scene.
