Chapter 700: Life Passage
At dawn, a formation of several helicopters had already flown over the junction of northern Sichuan and southern Yunnan, looking down at the devastated scene below, and the pilots of each helicopter were in a very heavy mood.
Yes, they are about to enter the disaster area, and they have lowered their flight altitude, so they can see clearly below without the help of binoculars.
The devastation of freezing disasters should be much more fragile than other natural disasters, but this is not the case, and the continuous snowstorm has already crushed many houses, towering trees, and power poles.
Forget about these, more importantly, the snowstorm that is rare in a century has also caused large-scale landslides in many areas, thus blocking all major roads.
In such a situation, you can see people gathered everywhere, while lighting fires in the open field to resist the invasion of the cold, while looking up at the sky, as if waiting for the divine soldiers to descend from the sky, and as if complaining about the ruthlessness of the sky.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the pilot of the leading helicopter immediately shouted into the intercom: "Report, we are about to enter the target area, please instruct!"
"Continue to reduce the flight altitude and temporarily slow down the flight build-up. ”
"Understand ......"
After receiving instructions from his superiors, the current pilot immediately continued to reduce the flight altitude in accordance with the relevant requirements, and at the same time slowed down the flight speed.
And Qi Huan, who was sitting in the back cabin, immediately yelled at Chu Tianming beside him after he had just issued the order: "Chu Shao, we are almost there!"
However, in the face of Qi Huan's roar, Chu Tianming didn't seem to hear it at all, he just looked at the information in his hand, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, as if he was thinking about something.
In this regard, Qi Huan had to raise his voice again: "Report, the first flight squadron is about to carry out the target area, please instruct!"
Raising his head suddenly, Chu Tianming immediately glared at Qi Huan: "Uh, why are you so loud?"
Immediately afterwards, turning his head to look out the window, looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, Chu Tianming couldn't help but sigh deeply: "It's here, folks in the disaster area in southern Yunnan, we're here!"
After speaking, he looked at the information in his hand again, and Chu Tianming hurriedly shouted at Qi Huan: "Mark our current location on the map." ”
"Yes......"
After receiving Chu Tianming's instructions, Qi Huan held the map in one hand and the red pencil in the other, and immediately drew a few strokes on it.
"Report, that's where we're at the moment. ”
"Hmmm......"
Staring at the map in front of him, Chu Tianming hurriedly said with a solemn face: "Judging from the map, we are at the junction of northern Sichuan and southern Yunnan, and this highway is the gateway to and from southern Yunnan. ”
"That's right......" Hearing Chu Tianming say this, Qi Huan immediately nodded in agreement: "Along this 201 line, more than 100 kilometers to the west, it is the provincial capital city of southern Yunnan, Chuncheng, and from the 201 line to the 308 line, and to the southwest more than 200 kilometers, is the border town of Dali in southern Yunnan. ”
Speaking of this, after a slight pause, Qi Huan sighed deeply: "The most important thing is that this 201 line is the only passage from northern Sichuan and Yucheng to southern Yunnan, but now it is tightly blocked by landslides, and the situation is not optimistic!"
"yes!"
Slowly raising his head, Chu Tianming immediately couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Those ground rescue troops, as well as those relief materials, have to enter southern Yunnan from here, so our top priority is to open up this life supply line!"
As he spoke, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and Chu Tianming waved his hand decisively at the same time: "Order, the first flight team, immediately go to Dali for aerial reconnaissance, there is a hard-hit area, you must have detailed information, the rest of the people, etc., immediately implement airborne landing on the spot, and be sure to completely open up this life supply line before the rest of the rescue troops arrive!"
"Yes......"
got up and saluted Chu Tianming with a solemn military salute, and Qi Huan immediately conveyed this order.
As a result, the helicopter formation immediately divided into two routes, one of which flew directly to the direction of Dali, and the other immediately distanced itself from each other, and then dropped its flight altitude again.
When the plane gradually drove to a stable level, Qi Huan immediately shouted at the special combat team members in front of him with a stern expression on his face: "The weather is bad and the environment is extremely poor, so in the process of parachuting, you must keep in mind the relevant essentials, and you must not be careless, understand?"
"Understand ......"
In response to Qi Huan, it was a loud roar from all the special combat team members, such a harsh environment, without Qi Huan's reminder, they also knew that they would face many unknown risks in the process of parachuting, so there was nothing to say, the time to test them had come!
"It's good to understand......"
Nodding with satisfaction, Qi Huan let out another roar: "Are you all ready?"
"Always be ready!"
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and jump!"
"Yes......"
As soon as these words came out, the special combat team member who was close to the hatch immediately jumped and was already in the wind and snow.
Following in the footsteps of this person, the rest of the special combat team members had already jumped out of the cabin in just a few minutes.
As a result, colorful auspicious clouds immediately fell from mid-air, and in this white atmosphere, it was particularly eye-catching.
At the same time, under the orders of the headquarters of the North Sichuan Military Region, Chen Xiuping also led his officers and soldiers to rush to this area.
Looking at the snowstorm outside the window, Chen Xiuping, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shook his head frantically: "I really don't understand, why did you let me come?"
"Uh......"
Hearing Chen Xiuping's complaint, Yao Wenbing, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help but smile bitterly, originally thought that the people Chen Xiuping brought this time should all be people from the Wild Wolf Special Operations Brigade, but I didn't expect that this was not the case, the people Chen Xiuping commanded this time turned out to be people from the engineer battalion.
"Uh, what, uh?"
Turning his head to look at Yao Wenbing with a wry smile on his face, Chen Xiuping immediately glared: "It's not okay for Lao Tzu to complain a few words?"
As a professional soldier, in order to ensure the lives and property of the people, he should be on the front line, but in order to ensure the better completion of the task, you have to let him bring his own people?
Knowing why Chen Xiuping was entangled, Yao Wenbing didn't know what to say, yes, in the face of Chen Xiuping's angry gaze, Yao Wenbing could only smile awkwardly.
In this regard, Chen Xiuping immediately waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, it's useless to talk to you kid about this, Lao Tzu should squint for a while." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Yao Wenbing's reply, Chen Xiuping immediately turned his head, and then narrowed his eyes.
It's just that at this moment, a sudden brake made Chen Xiuping almost hit the dashboard, yes, staring at the driver next to him, Chen Xiuping immediately roared like thunder: "Why did you stop again?"
"Chief, the front seems to be blocked. ”
In the face of Chen Xiuping's roar, the soldier who was in control of the steering wheel could only explain two sentences with a smiling face.
"Uh......"
In fact, without the soldier's explanation, Chen Xiuping had already noticed that the vehicles in front of him seemed to have stopped, so with a face full of anger, Chen Xiuping immediately kicked the car door open.
"I'll go down and take a look, you stay in the car and don't move. ”
Seeing Chen Xiuping's actions, Yao Wenbing immediately said a few words to Dong'er beside him, and then pushed the car door and jumped out.
"Hiss......"
Got out of the car door, rushed forward for dozens of meters, looking at the scene in front of him, Yao Wenbing couldn't help but gasp, only to see that this highway built by the mountains collapsed far beyond his imagination, how strict it was, he really couldn't say it for a while, anyway, looking at it, it was winding, and it was estimated to be several kilometers.
Similarly, looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Xiuping's frowning brows gradually twisted into a chaotic rope, judging from the current situation, if they want to enter southern Yunnan, they must first open this main road, and to open this main road, I am afraid it will take several days.
Yes, they could work a little harder and switch from mechanical driving to marching on foot, but by the time they arrived at the disaster area, the affected people were probably either starving to death or freezing to death.
The most important thing is that if this road is not opened, the follow-up rescue troops will also not be able to enter southern Yunnan smoothly, and those relief materials will not be able to be transported in at all, and it will still be troublesome at that time.
It was with this idea in mind that Chen Xiuping pondered for a moment, and immediately turned his head and shouted at the captain beside him: "Company Commander, you lead a part of the people to immediately rush to the disaster area on foot, try to appease the feelings of the affected people, and the rest of the people will immediately join me in the battle, and the goal is to open up this life channel." ”
"Yes......"
After receiving Chen Xiuping's order, the current captain immediately nodded, and then, turning his head to look at the military cards behind him, the captain immediately let out a loud roar: "One company, all of them, immediately march on foot!"
Hearing this loud roar, nearly a hundred soldiers in camouflage uniforms immediately jumped down from two of the military trucks, and then lined up in two groups in front of the captain.
"Wait......"
Just as the captain raised his right hand again, ready to give another order, Chen Xiuping suddenly beckoned, and then, striding in front of the captain, Chen Xiuping hurriedly said in a deep voice: "After entering the disaster area, you send a few more people to send me that kid and his companions to Dali." ”
"Uh......"
After receiving this order, the current captain couldn't help but be stunned, at this time, they still have time to be busy with this matter?
"Why are you stunned?" Chen Xiuping didn't intend to explain this, he just repeated his order again: "Did you hear it, be sure to send them to Dali safely?"
"Yes......"
Although Chen Xiuping was not their direct leader, he was the front-line commander of the disaster relief operation in their military region, so when he heard Chen Xiuping say this, the current captain immediately gave a solemn military salute.
It's just that when he turned his gaze to Yao Wenbing, he inevitably gave them a disdainful look, and he was not a three-year-old child, and he had to be escorted by others? Besides, if he was a little sensible, he shouldn't have come to southern Yunnan at this time?
