At about 9 o'clock in the morning, a large number of troops, relevant government departments, task forces, civil rescue teams and a large number of materials poured into Shuidan Town, and the saturation rescue with Chinese characteristics was quickly launched.

After the approval of the relevant departments, the rescue team composed of more than 100 off-road vehicles and trucks entered Shuidan Town, and unified the command of the local disaster relief headquarters and acted quickly.

The first batch of troops who had been on the front line for more than 10 hours to arrive at the disaster area received an order to withdraw and rest, and the independent platoon of female recruits was finally able to come down, thinking about having a good night's sleep and a hot meal.

The army requisitioned a primary school as a temporary camp, and the officers and men carefully arranged the desks and chairs in the classrooms to one side to make room for a large open space. The supply cart pulling the large backpacks of the officers and soldiers drove over, and the female recruits began to unload the backpacks. They were fully armed, and all their supplies were carried in accordance with the requirements of combat readiness, except for those who did not carry weapons and ammunition.

Under the limited conditions, Li Shuai had to live in the same classroom as the troops, and of course, Chen Xueer and Niu Jun were also the same.

There are mattresses, quilts, sheets, mosquito nets, and pillows in the backpack, Li Shuai asked He Biting to take a few people to find a bunch of newspapers, paper shells or something, lay a layer first, and then spread the mattress on it, which can well isolate the cold of the floor. Except for the absence of a bed, everything else is in accordance with the Housekeeping Regulations.

All of a sudden, the twenty-eighth female recruits pouted their butts and began to fold the quilt, and the tofu cubes must not be discounted. It is impossible to sleep, the situation has improved, and the state of emergency has been lifted, which means that the troops have to carry out the system of daily life. After doing a good job of housekeeping, he began to clean the outside, and the cooking team came to find someone to help with the cooking, and Li Shuai sent a few female recruits who volunteered over. After a while, the command post asked two careful soldiers to help sort out the materials, and Li Shuai asked Zhang Xiaoran to bring a soldier over.

In this way, most of the soldiers were divided into scattered parts.

Niu Jun was still interviewing on the front line, and Li Shuai helped her make her bed and housekeeping. Chen Xue'er saw Li Shuai arranging Niu Jun's bed on the side, and she felt very upset, but she couldn't say anything. After all, this is a disaster area, and it is not appropriate to raise objections to such subsections given limited conditions.

That is to say, Chen Xueer's bunk is in the first, then Niu Jun's, and then Li Shuai's, this order is not wrong, why is it wrong to arrange according to position and level?

Li Shuai saw that the internal affairs were almost done, and after thinking about it, he called Chai Xiaoying and Lin Xueyan over and asked, "Do you know where the Niu Jun reporter is?" ”

"Yes, in the area we are responsible for." Chai Xiaoying replied.

Li Shuai said, "You went to protect her, didn't you two learn photography, go and help her." ”

"Yes!" Chai Xiaoying and Lin Xueyan are on the right path.

Li Shuai nodded, "I'll have someone send you over." ”

He immediately found Zhu Wei and coordinated a car to come over to send Chai Xiaoying and Lin Xueyan over.

Chen Xue'er on the side heard it and saw it, and felt very uncomfortable. Li Shuai never cared about her, and when she cared about Li Shuai, she didn't get the response she imagined, which made her feel very lost. When I feel depressed, I get irritable, so I might as well take the soldiers to the front line to help the disaster.

Li Shuai thought about whether there was anything missing, and suddenly saw Chen Xue'er, so he said, "Instructor Chen, you can rest and rest, I'll stare at it first." ”

"You sleep, I'm not sleepy." Chen Xue'er was choked in her heart.

Li Shuai said, "Okay, then I'll squint." ”

Chen Xue'er was stunned and watched Li Shuai really lie down with his clothes closed, hugged his arms and closed his eyes and fell asleep, and a gentle snoring sound sounded in less than two minutes.

"I can't tell the kind words, what kind of person!" Chen Xue'er snorted in a low voice.

Li Shuai was not particularly sleepy, but he knew that if he didn't rest as soon as possible, the next state would be very poor, and the troops still needed him to take him, and it was unknown when the order to withdraw to the camp would be given. Judging from the damage caused in Shuidan Town, it is obviously impossible to withdraw in a short period of time, and it is necessary to be prepared for a protracted battle and maintain sufficient spirit at all times.

The starting point of his consideration of the problem is completely different from Chen Xueer's, so it caused such a misunderstanding. His idea is very simple, since Chen Xue'er is not sleepy, then there is no need for both of them to consume, and he hurried to make up for sleep. Li Shuai's steel-like thinking is vividly embodied.

Chen Xue'er sat there sullenly, holding a walkie-talkie in her hand and swaying unconsciously. This person is easy to think a lot when he is free, if it is usual, Chen Xueer doesn't care about Li Shuai's attitude at all, after all, he already knows that Li Shuai doesn't want to think about personal issues for the time being, and it can be seen that Li Shuai doesn't like her like between men and women. Under this premise, Chen Xueer was mentally prepared to launch an active attack.

But now the situation is different, who hasn't been fighting on the front line for almost ten hours in a row? She, Chen Xueer, regarded herself as an ordinary soldier and fought with the female recruits, and played the role of a cadre to make it more solid. Li Shuai cares for any female recruit, and is even more attentive to Niu Jun, why doesn't he care about himself?

In the midst of emotional ups and downs, Chen Xueer got into the horns of the bull and forgot that she was the instructor, Li Shuai's superior, and the first commander of the female recruits' independent ranking.

It is natural for superiors to care for their subordinates, and it is written into the internal affairs regulations, but there is no provision requiring subordinates to care for their superiors, and this is rarely the case in daily operations.

In the next two days, Chen Xueer didn't give Li Shuai a good look.

After all the water in the city had receded, the troops received an order to assist the local authorities in clearing the streets, and the independent platoon of female recruits once again marched into the city. This time, all quarters have made full preparations, and local news media have also poured in in to shoot and cover the news, and the officers and men have more motivation to do their work.

After a break, the female recruits were full of energy and wore rigorous makeup, showing a momentum completely different from that of the male soldiers, which soon attracted a large number of reporters and ordinary people. Many young people who work in other places rush back after knowing that their homes have been affected by the disaster, and when they help clean up the garbage, they see the heroic female recruits, and they immediately lift their mobile phones and never put them down. There are no traces of muddy water on the face, even if there is no makeup, the beautiful face cannot be hidden, and the charm of young women has been magnified by camouflage uniforms, and wave after wave has impacted the hearts of the people.

Li Shuai also became the object of onlookers, and after people's eyes noticed him, they exclaimed that he was so handsome, and he was a commander, a handsome commander with a beautiful female soldier, what an eye-catching combination!

It didn't take long for the female recruits to become the focus of the reporters' interviews, and even the Su Pingguo platoon was wiped out. Li Shuai's excellent image and temperament immediately became a recognized interview representative, which caught Li Shuai off guard.

"Sure enough, all the handsome ones have been handed over to the state." A reporter from one of the local newspaper groups smiled and sighed, and the microphone was eager to poke Li Shuai's mouth, and said to Li Shuai, "Squad leader, you are really handsome, upright and handsome, I don't know how to describe it." ”

The other reporters laughed one after another, all of them were female reporters, staring at Li Shuai while laughing, eager to go up and lick it.

Li Shuai was very unhappy, and kept looking at the troops, but he had to be interviewed because of the orders of his superiors. Public opinion propaganda work is also very important, and the channels for the masses to learn about the troops are very limited, and the main channel is to get acquainted with them through the media.

He forced a smile and said, "Do you still have questions?" ”

"Yes, yes. Squad Leader Li, I understand that you have been fighting in the disaster area for three consecutive days, and you were the first army to arrive in the disaster area after the typhoon, can you introduce the relevant situation, what was the situation on the scene after arriving at the disaster area, and how did you carry out the rescue? The reporter quickly asked.

Li Shuai thought for a moment and said, "In the early morning of the 20th, the superiors ordered our department to rush to the aid of Shuidan Town, when the wind stopped but the rain was in a stage of strengthening. Our department urgently rushed to Shuidan Town in the heavy rain to be responsible for the rescue work of the boundary village. At that time, the situation in the boundary village was very critical, and many people were in danger of their lives. The boundary village suffered a once-in-a-century destruction, because of the terrain, it has almost become an isolated island, and most of the people in the village are old, weak, women and children, and their ability to save themselves is very poor......"

He told the reporters in detail about the rescue operation in the boundary village, but the plain description made the reporters deeply feel the thrilling rescue process at that time, especially the fact that Li Fengxiang, who saved Feng Liang's family, protected the elderly and children with his body, which deeply moved the reporters, and at the same time smelled the very lethal news value.

Li Shuai saw that the media was so excited, and decisively gave up his plan to continue to tell Chen Xiao's deeds. It is better to promote one by one than to promote it together. When two canons are put together, they will inevitably be compared, and once there is a comparison, there must be a primary and a secondary. Li Shuai didn't want such a situation to happen, his soldiers were all great and great.

Some reporters still wanted to continue to interview Li Shuai, so Chen Xueer came over to relieve the siege, and said generously, "Fellow journalists, the task is the first, we have to continue to work, if you still have any questions, please contact our propaganda department, they are responsible for this aspect of the work." Thank you for your understanding. ”

Li Shuai took the opportunity to leave, and Chen Xueer followed up and said, "I usually do things very simply, how can I face the reporter as my mother-in-law, I can show my face and briefly introduce the situation." Don't you know that there are some things that can't be said in too much detail? In order to publicize advanced deeds and advanced figures, they must follow the general draft of our troops, and they should not write what they want. ”

The army does not attach much importance to the local media, and the army has its own public opinion propaganda system, which is equally perfect, and even better than the local one in some respects. External propaganda is exquisite, digging out typical deeds, typical characters to set an example, all by themselves, what resources do you want? After the model is established, the local media are allowed to carry out a nationwide propaganda call, which is generally done in this way.

Li Shuai did not know much about the propaganda methods of the troops, and told Li Fengxiang's deeds in one go, which is not feasible logically speaking, at least before the interview, the propaganda department wanted to give Li Shuai a caliber, what can and cannot be said, and it is not limited to matters in the realm of secrecy. But this time it was more hasty and happened more suddenly, and Li Shuai was not a professional propagandist, so he made a big mistake.

Hearing Chen Xue'er's words, Li Shuai was a little nervous, "What impact will it have?" Will it affect Li Fengxiang? ”

"That's not going to happen, it's just that the publicity department may have some opinions about us." Chen Xueer said.

Li Shuai said, "Oh, it's okay, Niu Jun is familiar with them, let Niu Jun talk about it." ”

"No matter how familiar Niu Jun is, I am familiar with me, I am an officer of the Political Department. Who is she, she is a person from the organs of the war zone. Chen Xue'er was not satisfied when she heard this, rolled her eyes and said, "I'll just go and say hello to Section Chief Wu." All the footage shot by these reporters, the final broadcast and press releases have to be reviewed by us, no problem, don't worry. ”

Li Shuai was completely relieved, "I see...... Then I'm sorry for you, Instructor Chen. ”

Chen Xue'er glared at Li Shuai and wanted to say something, but finally gave up and shook her head and left. She also saw that Li Shuai's mind was all on work, where did she have the heart to experience other intentions. Fighting with him at this time is to find his own anger to live.

The streets and alleys were full of dirt and all kinds of messy objects floating from the houses, and they all became garbage. In one street, the sewer burst out, and all the filth under the pressure of the water sprayed out, mixing with the stagnant water and washing the whole street.

The disinfection vehicles of the anti-chemical warfare units drove in to disinfect the streets, and the anti-chemical warfare troops wearing protective clothing used individual portable disinfectant ejectors to disinfect the sanitary dead corners. The anti-chemical forces were used to ensure that the street would not become epidemic because of contamination with filth.

However, the best way to solve this problem once and for all is to renovate the sewer system in the old town where this street is located.

This is not under the control of the troops.

After two consecutive days of clean-up work, the urban area of Shuidan Town has basically returned to its original appearance, at least there is absolutely no problem in terms of sanitation, and more aftermath work is done by government departments.

During the night, Political Commissar Yuan issued an order to his subordinate troops: In order not to cause trouble to the common people, it was decided to retreat at 5 a.m. tomorrow. Two hours ahead of schedule.

After receiving the order, the troops loaded the trucks that night, loaded all the materials and equipment, and the personnel went to bed on time with only their personal belongings and got up at 4:30 a.m. to finish up and board the buses to return to the trains.

It's dark at five o'clock in the morning in winter, and you can't see that it will be dawn in two hours. The various units got up silently at the various temporary cantonment sites, quickly loaded their backpacks and loaded their trucks, and at the same time cleaned the sanitation of the temporary cantonment sites. The female recruit independent platoon finished all the work except personal belongings last night, including environmental hygiene, and checked again after waking up to make sure nothing was missed.

At five o'clock in the morning, the troops boarded the bus, and the first car drove out of the gate of the primary school with its headlights on.
