When disaster comes, the people only have helplessness and tears, and at this time, we only have dedication and blood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the middle of April, the morning dew in Z County, Huaguo does not seem to have completely evaporated, the sun is smiling and shining on the earth, the birds are singing songs happily, the shouts of shops, the noise of vegetable fields, and the honking of cars have converged into a peaceful and peaceful picture.
However, suddenly, the ground shook faintly, and the whole city stopped moving, looking around in confusion, not knowing what was happening.
Suddenly, the earth shook, the rivers shattered, the heavens and the earth cracked, the earth's crust swayed wildly, the rivers roared madly, the heavens and the earth seemed to change color, the houses collapsed, and the crowd screamed.....
Countless lives have come to an end at this moment, countless homes have been destroyed by sudden disasters, and a great earthquake has come! Z County is in danger, and the people are in danger!
We were driving tanks on the training ground under the leadership of Wu Sai, and suddenly, the sound of the horn of the emergency assembly pierced the sky and resounded in everyone's ears, and in an instant, all the tanks stopped moving, and we rushed off the car and ran towards the assembly place of the parade platform.
The whole brigade was gathered together, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, and at this time, I saw a familiar figure come to the stage, it was a political commissar who had not been seen for a long time.
Watching him walk up, all of a sudden, the noise stopped, the audience was silent, and the political commissar was also straight to the point, talking straight to the point.
"Comrades, it has been learned that a major earthquake has occurred in Z County, which is less than 200 kilometers away from the station of our unit......., and the property and lives of the people have been greatly threatened.
At that time, I was extremely excited, perhaps most people could not understand the feeling of going to the earthquake relief, so to speak, we were all boiling, as if we were not going to the disaster relief, but to travel, I had never experienced such a thing, I never thought about the difficulties and hardships after arriving at the disaster area.
In just a few hours of preparation time, we boarded the car and set off, the car was running fast on the highway, but our hearts had already flown to the disaster area, in the car, Xu Wei gave us a clear group, dispersed, each shift for a group of operations, be sure to ensure safety.
On the way, we chatted happily, sang military songs, and did not feel the fatigue of the journey, just when we were chatting excitedly about how to make contributions after arriving in the disaster area, the car suddenly stopped.
"Why is the bridge in front of my mother broken", Xu Wei's scolding came from under the car.
"Get off the bus", then, Xia Bing's voice came again, we hurriedly jumped out of the car, looked at the broken bridge in front of us, and were silent.
"There's no time to waste, Director Xia, you stay here, I'll rush over with the whole company," Xu Wei said to Xia Bing.
"Is this appropriate, do you want to ask your superiors for instructions", Xia Bing returned.
"It's too late, all the communication facilities here are interrupted, and there is no time to report, this time we have to cut first and then play," Xu Wei said.
"Okay, you go first, I'll be responsible for reporting," Xia Bing said.
"Well, the whole company assembles, the martial arts, the whole team, pack the backpack, and get ready to go", Xu Wei shouted.
"Yes", Wu Sai's answer was no less loud than Xu Wei's.
"Company Commander Xu", Xia Bing suddenly shouted.
"Huh"? Xu Wei looked at Xia Bing suspiciously.
"Pay attention to safety and bring back the brothers of the whole company", Xia Bing's eyes moistened.
"Don't worry, I'm here", Xu Wei saluted Xia Bing with a standard military salute, and then waved his hand and set off!
At this moment, I suddenly felt a different side of Coach Natsu, perhaps, because I didn't know her well enough before.
The place where we parked was still nearly 20 kilometers away from the center of the disaster area, and the bridge in front of us was broken, which meant that we had to make a detour from the side hill and climb over it, a 20-kilometer run, which was unique in my military career, and perhaps, only in the special operations detachment, there would be training of this scale, but today, I caught up.
We ran at a rapid pace, the rugged mountain roads along the way greatly slowed down our speed, but we did not slow down at all, the sweat has soaked our whole body, I feel that I am almost out of breath, but after thinking about the people in the disaster area, I suddenly have strength again.
Disaster is an order, time is life, we don't have any time to stay, because we are in a race against life! In a race against the lives of the people in the disaster area.
At that time, I was still a little excited, even excited, after all, this kind of experience is only once in a lifetime, and it is worth remembering for a lifetime.
After a short break of five minutes, we began to run again, and along the way, there were broken rocks scattered everywhere, and countless broken bridges stuck diagonally in the water, as if to tell us about the disaster ahead.
The long-distance run is a great test of the body, our speed gradually slowed down, but no one was left behind, we know that if we slow down by five minutes, maybe another life will be lost in this world.
On the road, it is also dangerous, at any time, there may be gravel falling on the cliff beside the road, just now, a fist-sized stone fell straight between me and Liu Weiguo, which frightened the two of us, and on the way to the center of the disaster area, there were more and more gravel and rubble, and the last part of the road, we were almost jumping forward.
Finally, arrived at the end of the highway next to the county, but we stopped again, there was a huge stone in front of the exit, it was absolutely impossible to move away with manpower, Xu Wei shouted on the squad leader of the four squads, plus six people from Wusai, and sent people to the rock with both hands, and then six people took out the backpack rope, stood on it and began to pull us up, and then we slid down the stone.
I landed smoothly on the ground, but I was stunned by the sight before me, there were broken walls everywhere, and from time to time there was the creak of bricks mixed with wood, and the sound of bricks falling to the ground. Groups of armed police and militiamen ran back and forth, carrying stretchers in their hands.
We rushed to a dilapidated building, and with Xu Wei's order, we gathered to listen to the assignment.
The dilapidated building is crumbling and could collapse at any moment.
The large force also arrived, and the engineer company blew up the boulder blocking the junction, and the large force then entered.
Our company began to divide into four teams, responsible for the rescuers, our squad was organized into a group, Qian Jin was responsible for leading the team, and as the teams left in a hurry, we also began to look for signs of life.
As all the squads and platoons began to rush, I suddenly felt faintly that it seems that earthquake relief is not so simple, of course, the difficulties are still to come, as our work deepens step by step, all the scenes are also unfolding in front of our eyes.
