Lu Li had a dream, he didn't know when the water pipe was installed in the small courtyard of the countryside where he lived, which was of course convenient, but the faucet was not tightened, and it was always dripping and leaking, and the sound of water dripping made him upset, and he felt that his lower abdomen was swollen and painful, and he grabbed it with his hand, and the one between his legs was firm and straight, although he fell asleep, he also knew that he was holding his urine - it was all too much beer to drink!

The person who fell asleep hated this kind of thing the most, and he wanted to wait for the dawn to get up again, but the sound of the water was not over at all, so there was no need to mention this annoyance. Luli finally couldn't get through it and opened his eyes.

There was silence all around, there was no dripping sound at all, where did the sound come from? I got up in a daze, went to the yard to pee, let go of my empty body with pleasure, turned back to the house, lay down again, and closed my eyes. But for a moment, his eyes opened again, and he knew where the sound of the water was coming from, it was his watch!

This feeling made his back suddenly feel a chill, why was it so quiet tonight? In the dark, Lu Li's eyes widened, and he listened attentively, the night in the countryside was much more lively than in the city, with insects chirping, dogs barking, horses neighing, and chickens flying, in normal times, building a warm and sweet picture, but tonight he couldn't hear it at all, not to mention it, even the cicadas on the trees outside the courtyard disappeared! How did the world suddenly become so quiet? It's so quiet that it's a little scary!

A chill rose in Luli's heart, and his limbs were numb and crisp - he gave birth to goosebumps! Are you still dreaming?

Before this thought could flash, a blue-white light suddenly appeared outside the glass window, this light was so strong, and the room was bright, if he hadn't kept his eyes open, he would have thought it was dawn! Lu Li hurriedly lifted the watch by the pillow and looked at it through the bright light, 3:42 in the morning!

The equivalent of 400 Hiroshima atomic bombs exploded 16 kilometers below the earth's crust at the same time, and the earth-shattering potential energy was instantly transmitted to the surface! Luli's body was shocked and jumped on the spot, and then fell on the kang with a bang, "Oops, it's an earthquake!" ”

He grabbed Luo Yaohua who was lying beside him, and threw the mosquito net, along with the bamboo pole with the mosquito net, out of the window! Luo Yaohua was like a shot put, knocking open the glass and wooden frame, and fell into the yard with a loud noise and flying dust, wood chips, and glass shards, he was also awakened at once, but his body couldn't feel the pain at all, and shouted, "What are you ......

Lu Li roared angrily, grabbed Xu Yunjian and Liang Xin as fast as he could, one in each hand, and threw the two of them out from the window that was broken into a big hole, and finally grabbed Lin Antixiu and Zhang Qing, these two people had already woken up, "Lu Li, ......what are you doing?" Oops, what's wrong? ”

Cao Xun also woke up, screamed, turned over and stood up, and before he could understand what was going on, he was hit with a heavy kick on his buttocks, and his body involuntarily threw forward and fell out of the window.

Heaven and earth trembled in an instant! First there was a violent vibration up and down, then swaying from side to side, the adobe house shook back and forth like a white iron sheet in his hand, making a loud and hula sound, a large piece of wall skin fell, and the light lamp on his head exploded into a sky of debris, crackling and falling on his body, drawing a bloody mouth one by one! The fire kang under his feet has collapsed most of the time, Lu Li can't stand at all, as the collapsed fire kang body settles, Rao is so, or put the Zhang and Lin in his hands out of the window, and then the smoke and dust are loud, and the roof collapses!

Xu Yunjian got up one by one, and then was shaken by the huge tremor and shook him unsteadily, and fell to the ground suddenly, but just for this moment, he could still see it clearly, and saw his best friend looking at the bricks and stones falling on his head and the huge purlin with a stunned face, and then he was drowned in smoke and dust!

Xu Yunjian howled miserably, "Little! Tiny! ”

Luo Yaohua and Liang Xin shed tears on their faces at the same time! Lie on the ground and cry loudly! "Tiny! Tiny!? ”

The shaking became more and more violent, and Xu Yunjian lay on the ground, although it was safe here, the feeling was extremely terrifying! For the first time, they knew that the originally hard and flat ground could be like the surface of the water, surging in layers! Waves of earth arched up and flowed under their bodies, and there was no feeling in their hearts at all, only one word: fear!

This special energy is truly evil! The surging earth arches layer by layer, from the feet, calves, thighs, all the way to the chest and abdomen, head and face, and then to the hands that are stretched out, little by little, the sense of touch is clearly transmitted to the brain, and then the second wave! Liang Xin was the first to can't help it, and he was scared to cry!

The small village, which was originally as quiet as death, suddenly heard the wild screams of the animals, accompanied by a deafening roar and the smoke and dust from the toppling of the houses, surging from all directions, instantly enveloping the few surviving people in the courtyard, "Zhang Qing, where are you?" Don't move while you're on your stomach! ”

"Get down and don't move!" This is Luo Yaohua's roar.

His ears were filled with the sound of the earth being torn, his eyes could not see anything within a radius of three feet, his nose and mouth were filled with smoke and mud, and the simplest gasping movements became a chore, and his throat was like a handful of red-hot coals, and beyond the dryness and thirst, there was a sharp pain!

At this time, no one knew what the anomalies that had appeared in the towns and villages in the previous month were portuding, but no one had ever paid attention to them! Xu Yunjian muttered Lu Li's name in his heart, "Xiaoxiao, don't die!" You wait for me, and I'll save you in a moment! ”

A few young men dug their hands and toes into the dirt, their bodies pressed against the ground, feeling the surging anger of the earth, praying that the violent earthquake would pass quickly.

It seemed that the prayers of the survivors of them really worked, and the tremors gradually stopped, and the heavens and the earth returned to a moment of tranquility. Several young people felt the fastest, Xu Yunjian and Luo Yaohua jumped up together, rushed to the ruins, in the darkness, his eyes could barely distinguish the location of the ridge, Xu Yunjian snorted, stretched out his hands and began to dig. "Tiny?" He cried and howled, "Tiny? Where are you? If you're still there, promise me, I'm Xu Yunjian? Little! ”

Cao Xun and the others were also full of tears, their bodies were all broken by glass shards, sawdust, and stones without exception, oozing traces of blood, but the body seemed to have lost its five senses, and there was only one thought in their hearts: dig him out! Even if the worst happens, let him get on the road!

Peel off the tiles on the roof one by one and throw them aside, revealing the ridge inside, this is a masonry structure, digging this layer is the purlin, if Lu Li is still alive, he should be able to talk to everyone, but this layer is the most difficult, Xu Yunjian and Liang Xin's hands are full of blood, and they don't care about it, but at the moment when they dig it up, the earth trembles again, "Aftershocks, hide!" ”

Several people already had experience, and they quickly lay down on the spot, the second puff of smoke and dust was raised, and the gap that had just been dug up was buried by the gravel gravel again, Xu Yunjian cried bitterly, everyone knew that Lu Li was afraid that he really couldn't hide!

*****************************************************

The seismic waves of the Tangshan earthquake spread all over the world! Earthquake stations in California, Hawaii, Alaska, Sweden, Hong Kong and other countries and regions in the United States all felt strong tremors, and for a time the eyes of the whole world were focused on this small city in the southeast of China's capital.

Tangshan, with a population of more than 1 million, suffered the most cruel natural disaster in history, and nature wiped Tangshan off the map with its great strength, like a person tearing off the New Year's pictures on the wall, leaving only the mottled wall skin!

The sky gradually brightened, and Tangshan drooped his bloody head, ushering in the dawn of July 28.

In the early morning of this day, a red ambulance flashed its siren from the Kailuan Coal Mine in Tangshan, and headed west in a gray fog, with four people on board: Li Yulin, former vice chairman of the mine's labor union, Cao Guocheng, an officer of the Mine Armed Forces, Si and Cui Zhiliang of the mine rescue team, and Yuan Qingwu, the driver of the winch shift of the Mine's Mechanical and Electrical Department.

The four of them were full of tears, with infinite grief and guilt, desperately increasing the throttle - they thought it was an accident in the wind shaft at first, and only thought about going to the mine party committee to report, and ten minutes later, they saw the ruins of the Kailuan Coal Mine Party Committee and the Tangshan Party Committee building, and a few people knew that something was wrong in Tangshan!

After some discussion, the initial decision was made, "Find a phone!" ”

The ambulance rushed along Xinhua Road, and there were originally seven guest houses on the road, and there were more than a dozen men and women standing in the ruins on the roadside. Where to go next? Where did the local commission go? In which direction is the military (sub)zone located?

The driver increased the throttle and rushed all the way forward, only to the citizens who waved for help on the side of the road,...... They are all their hometown fathers! A small ambulance, carrying the most primitive news, passed through Yutian, Ji (county), Tong (county), and drove from Jianguomen into the city of North (Beijing).

When they arrived at the reception desk of the State Council near the new (Hua) Gate, it was 8:06 in the morning, and after questioning and inspection, the four of them walked into the Zhong(Nan) Sea, the supreme state head of state.

At this time, the exact address of the epicenter was not yet known, and several people from Tangshan reported the most original information, and the leaders present immediately made a decision to mobilize all the personnel and materials that could be mobilized in the country, and did everything to fight the earthquake and provide disaster relief!

More than 10,000 medical personnel were deployed on the ruins of Tangshan, wooden signs were erected in medical institutions such as the Air Force General Hospital, the Navy General Hospital, and the Shanghai (Hai) Sixth Hospital, and the Red Cross flag fluttered in the wind, bringing the first hope to Tangshan.

Among them, the first to receive treatment and carry out surgery is Tian (Tianjin) Hangu Hospital, countless debridement sutures, a large number of amputations, craniotomy, are carried out in ordinary unimaginable simple conditions, doctors and nurses have been soaked in blood, step by step blood red footprints! There weren't that many surgical gloves at all, so after doing one, rinse it with tap water to wash off the blood stains on it, and then move on to the next case.

There is also a temporary treatment point of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army stationed at Tangshan Airport, where the conditions are even worse, there is no running water, so the water in the swimming pool can only be pumped up, the disinfection equipment is boiled, and the doctors work day and night under the gas lamp, without the replenishment of plasma, they can only watch the wounded die on the operating table! A large pit was dug outside the surgical tent, and it was filled with amputated arms and thighs!

Even so, it can't be treated at all, more and more wounded people are dug up and sent to various treatment stations, doctors and nurses have become the busiest group of people, and the physical exertion is so great that the operation time is getting longer and longer, and there are more and more mistakes caused by fatigue!

In view of this, the state issued an order to carry out a nationwide transfer of the wounded! By the end of August, more than 100,000 wounded had been sent to Ji, Liaoning, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Beijing. Among them, there were 159 trains and 470 planes - this number does not sound like much today, but in China in the 70s, it was definitely a huge operation that the whole country mobilized together!

As for all kinds of materials transported to Tangshan from all over the country, there are countless of them, and here are some of them: 70 million catties of grain; 3,600 tons of biscuits and snacks; More than 1,000 tons of sugar, 900 tons of meat, 1,000 tons of vegetables, more than 1 million pieces of clothing, 410,000 pairs of shoes, and 200 tons of medicines. The rest, such as matches, laundry detergent, soap, reed mats, reed foil, straw bags, bamboo, wood, lead wire, iron nails, linoleum, asbestos tiles, lime, and plastic sheeting, cannot be counted at all.

In China after July 28, 1976, there was only one voice: go all out to rescue Tangshan!
