Chapter 095: Let's Go!
When the "flame" made landfall, the maximum wind force reached level 18, because the prevention measures were complete, and the impact of the "flame" on the urban area of Pengcheng was not as great as imagined.
The officers and men of the 301st Comprehensive Training Base and more than 1,000 recruits of the new regiment were ready to go, but the order was delayed, and the officers and men who were half-asleep in the middle of the night were very uncomfortable.
At 2:15 a.m., less than an hour after Political Commissar Yuan lay down, the staff officer on duty rushed in to wake him up and reported excitedly, "Chief, the superior has come to order!" ”
"It's finally here." Political Commissar Yuan was in good spirits when he heard this, and immediately turned over and sat up, and the marching bed was taken and almost didn't fall.
"But we were asked to go to Shuitan Town, where the situation is very serious." said the staff officer on duty.
"Shui Dan Town?" Political Commissar Yuan was very surprised, and took a look at the list, it was indeed Shuidanzhen.
Political Commissar Yuan did not hesitate, and immediately said, "Gather the troops immediately!" Execute according to the predetermined plan! The destination has been changed to Shui Dan Town! ”
"Yes!"
The order for an emergency assembly suddenly sounded, and the officers and men instantly bounced out of bed as if they had been prepared for a long time, dressed and rushed downstairs with supplies. Unlike the battle assembly, all the lights were turned on in this emergency assembly, and the officers and men quickly checked the equipment and materials they were carrying, and repeatedly confirmed that there were no mistakes or omissions.
"Comrades! Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while! Right now! The masses of the people have been affected! The higher authorities ordered us to rush to the disaster area in the shortest possible time to carry out disaster relief! Comrades! We are the people's soldiers! For the people! We must do our best to resolutely complete the tasks assigned by our superiors! Now I command! The detachments boarded the bus and set off! ”
Political Commissar Yuan made a brief and forceful mobilization.
The officers and soldiers waited for the bus in an orderly manner.
The officers and men of the police dispatch detachment set off first in small vehicles, first rushed forward along the unit's mobile route, and then dropped at least two officers and men at each major intersection to prepare for the convoy to pass through the convoy. Subsequently, the vehicles of the command detachment of the agency set off, all but two of which were small vehicles, followed by a communications vehicle. The combat detachments all marched in on transport trucks, with the medical and logistics detachments marching at the end.
Seventy or eighty military vehicles of various types formed a long snake, galloping to the aid of the flood-stricken area under the starry night.
Along the way, the convoy drove as fast as possible, and the officers and men were heart-to-heart with the people in the disaster area, worried about the safety of the people, and eager to grow a pair of wings and fly to the disaster area to immediately plunge into disaster relief. For the first time, the recruits, who had only been in the army for three months, deeply felt the responsibility on their shoulders, and the sacred sense of mission made their blood boil and their enthusiasm soared.
Su Pingguo, whose old house had collapsed, left his family affairs behind as soon as he received the order, and studied the map of Shuidanzhen with the help of the interior lights in the second co-pilot. Li Shuai held the walkie-talkie in his hand and told Su Pingguo the latest briefing at any time, and after discussing with him, he quickly adjusted the plan of the mixed mobile detachment.
They were assigned a supply cart and a cooking cart, which was towed by a cooking cart, all of which were filled with necessary consumables and food, drinking water, and especially food and drinking water. These two supplies are very, very important for the people in the affected areas.
At any time, more and more information was reported by the relevant local authorities, and the situation became clearer and clearer, and no one expected that Shuidan Town would be the most severely affected area in this typhoon.
"There is an air force station over there, and they have already prevented personnel from rushing to Shuidan Town, and a certain unit of an army division dozens of kilometers away is also on its way to the disaster area, and the situation will definitely be changed soon." Su Pingguo breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Li Shuai was not so optimistic, saying, "Shuidan Town is the local government station, with a large commercial development and a large population, and the local people are not fully prepared for this typhoon. The point is that there are many villages around Shuidan Town, I have seen satellite maps, most of the villages are in depressions, there are few buildings, and the resilience of such villages is very weak. ”
"Yes, who would have thought that the worst hit would be Shuidan Town on the edge of the central wind circle. Our base is responsible for the vast area in the southern suburbs of Shuidan Town, which happens to be the lowest part of the terrain. It is estimated that the other fraternal troops will not have great difficulties, and the sewer pipes in the city will be able to play a role. There are a large number of factories in the area south of the southern suburbs, and the villages are relatively scattered, and the troops must be dispersed, and we ...... I guess it's uncomfortable. Su Pingguo thought about it and said in agreement.
Pengcheng is in the south of Shuidan Town, according to the principle of proximity, the superiors assigned a whole area to the south of Shuidan Town to the 301st Comprehensive Training Base, which is precisely the lowest altitude in this area between Shuidan Town and Pengcheng, and is the location that is most prone to water accumulation.
I thought that as a reinforcement, I would be responsible for the secondary direction, but I didn't expect to get a hard bone, but it made all the officers and soldiers from Political Commissar Yuan down to be even more enthusiastic. At this time, the recruits have not yet been discharged from the company, which means that the worst in the combat unit is also the senior soldier with one year of service experience, and their combat effectiveness is considerable, but the number is definitely insufficient.
Perhaps the decision was made by the superior after repeated evaluation, and it was not simply a deployment made by relying on the principle of proximity.
The situation in Shuidan Town is more serious than everyone can judge by reading the information. It spreads out radially from the urban area of Shuidan Town, and the severity of the disaster is distributed from mild to severe from north to south. But the difficulty of disaster relief is not the only criterion of severity.
The water accumulation in the streets of Shuidan Town is more than one meter, which is relatively not serious, but there are more than 100,000 permanent residents in the urban area, and at least 20,000 people need to be evacuated and resettled.
In many places in the vast southern suburbs, water has reached a maximum depth of three meters, and there are many small rivers overflowing, but the population is relatively dispersed. The industrial zone is relatively densely populated, but most factories have better precautions, and the workers live in buildings, which is less dangerous.
Most of the young people work outside the village, and only the elderly and children remain in the village, and these two groups of people have almost no ability to help themselves.
As soon as the convoy drove into the boundary of Shuidan Town, Li Shuai received an urgent order from Political Commissar Yuan.
"The mixed mobile detachment turns right at the intersection in front, and your task is to transfer everyone in the boundary village in the shortest possible time, and no one is missing! Do you understand? Commissar Yuan's tone was very harsh.
The wind has stopped but the rain is still falling, and the rain shows no signs of abating. In some cases, the rainfall after a typhoon exceeds that of the typhoon, which is a high risk of secondary disasters.
Li Shuai quickly replied: "The mixed mobile detachment has received it!" Resolutely complete the mission! ”
In front was the Cheetah 2030C off-road vehicle in which Zhu Wei, Chen Xueer and Niu Jun were riding, and the small convoy sent a driver to drive. After a while, he accelerated to the front, slowed down for a while, and waited for the convoy to pass, and Niu Jun got out of the car from time to time to shoot. After receiving the order, Zhu Wei immediately asked the driver to run to the front to lead the way, and a small vehicle, two military trucks pulling two platoons, and a material truck turned right and drove to the boundary village.
The demarcation village, as the name suggests, is on the dividing line between Pengcheng and Shuidanzhen. Generally speaking, the village in this location can develop very quickly, after all, it is the closest to Pengcheng. However, the geographical location of the boundary village is very unsatisfactory, there is no main road to pass by, it is a hilly terrain in the south, and there are small slopes around it in three directions. It is a quiet village when the wind is good, but the flood situation is serious.
The deepest part of the water in the village is more than three meters, and some of the bungalows have only one roof. This village has never experienced such a serious flood, so many typhoons every year, and after so many years, it has never encountered such a situation where the village is flooded.
This time everyone was caught off guard, and with the fact that there were very few young adults in the village, the situation could be even more serious.
Feng Liang is a sixth-grader, and he will be in junior high school in another semester. His parents work in Pengcheng, and there are only grandparents and a second-grade sister at home. When the typhoon came, the grandmother protected the two brothers and sisters to sleep, and the grandfather sat in the living room and did not dare to sleep. The three bungalows that were built a few years ago seemed to be uprooted at any moment in the strong wind. The doors and windows made a terrifying tearing sound in the wind, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
His home is relatively independent, the locals pay attention to a mountain and water, three bungalows are built against a small hillside more than 20 meters high, there is a small pond not far in front of the door, grandpa sprinkled some fish fry in it, and in the season a net is fished out and sold for the money enough for the brothers and sisters to pay for a semester of tuition.
However, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places.
The heavy rainfall that lasted for more than ten hours turned the small pond into a large pond, and the overflowing water had reached more than ten meters in front of the door. Grandpa went out to check with a flashlight several times and felt that there was danger, but there had never been a flooded house for so many years, and he didn't know where to go at night, so he decided to stay at home at the moment.
With such a hesitation, the grandparents and grandchildren fell into danger.
The water accumulated in the pond had not yet reached the point of threatening Feng Liang's family, but the small hillside that used to be amiable and lovely suddenly burst into flames. The top of the slope is concave, and a large piece of dirt has loosened under the rain washing away from Feng Liang's house, which in turn causes a chain reaction, and as the rainfall continues to increase, gravity exceeds friction, and mudslides occur.
The overflowing water from the top of the slope broke a gap, carrying a large amount of mud and rocks downward, and then a small half of the hillside collapsed directly. Feng Liang and the others didn't know what was going on, and the distance of more than thirty meters didn't leave them a chance to escape at all.
The mudslide hit the location of the living room, Feng Liang only felt the house shake violently, then the lights suddenly went out, and finally only heard the sound of "boom". He and his sister could only feel that their grandmother had protected them under them, for more than twenty seconds, more than twenty seconds that he would never forget, when the sound of "boom" stopped, Feng Liang felt the rain hitting his face, opened his eyes and adapted for a while, and was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him.
"Grandma! Grandmother! Feng Liang shouted loudly, shaking his grandmother's arm.
My sister burst into tears.
After a while, a flashlight suddenly lit up, and grandma hugged Feng Liang and her sister and said, "Grandma is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Grandma to see if it hurts, grandma to see. ”
Feng Liang quickly saw clearly that they and their grandmother were trapped in a small space, with rain falling on their heads, but there were broken walls around them. The small space is supported by a wall and a wardrobe, which makes my sister cry even more.
"Grandpa, grandpa! Grandfather! Feng Liang suddenly remembered his grandfather in the living room and shouted loudly.
There was no response.
What he couldn't see was that the living room that had been hit head-on had completely collapsed, and his grandfather's life and death were unknown. And there is still a wall in the left bedroom where he stays with his sister and grandmother that has not completely collapsed.
Twelve-year-old Feng Liang felt despair for the first time.
"No! I must save Grandpa! Be sure to save grandpa! Feng Liang forced himself to calm down, he knew that there was a gap in his head, otherwise no rain would fall in.
"What are you doing! Don't move! Grandma saw Feng Liang standing up and groping upward, and hurriedly stopped.
Feng Liang snatched the flashlight from his grandmother's hand and said, "I'm going out for help." Grandma, I'm a man, I'm sure I can! ”
He said firmly, and began to look for a way out.
Grandma, who was bleeding from one leg and couldn't move, didn't stop it anymore, and was able to escape one by one, only hugging her eight-year-old sister tighter.
Feng Liang was small and lightweight, he tried his best to grasp the fracture and tried to climb up again and again, his fingers were scratched and bleeding, and he didn't care about it. At this time, he knew that the lives of his grandparents and sister were on him. The location of his own family is independent, and others may not know the situation here, and the rest of the village may not be too busy to take care of themselves.
Only when he escapes and asks for help can his grandparents and sister survive!
When Feng Liang finally breathed in cleaner air, he knew that he had climbed out, and he turned back to his grandmother and sister and said, "Grandma! Younger sister! Hold on! I'm going to find someone! ”
In the heavy rain, Feng Liang ran along the dirt road towards the village, his vision was blurry, he didn't know whether it was tears or rain, he kept wiping it with his hands, and ran wildly. In the darkness, he stepped forward and fell hard, knocking a hole on his forehead, and blood suddenly came out. He got up and kept running.
Vaguely seeing lights in front of him, many, many lights, his survival instinct made him run towards those lights, shouting heartbreakingly as he ran: "Help!" Help me! ”
But the lights began to turn along the road, heading in the direction of the village.
Feng Liang shouted even more heartbreakingly, running faster, but he couldn't catch up with the car that emitted lights.
Li Shuai in the car frowned suddenly, raised the walkie-talkie and gave an order: "Stop!" ”
The moving convoy came to an abrupt halt.
Zhu Wei quickly asked, "Li Shuai, is there a situation?" ”
"There are cries for help!" Li Shuai said with great certainty, "The women's platoon brought tools and got out of the car and followed me!" Fast! Staff Officer Zhu, let's go as planned! ”
Zhu Wei didn't hear any cries for help, and he didn't see anyone appear, this place is still a kilometer away from the village field of the boundary village, he really wants to ask how Li Shuai can hear the sound of a kilometer away in this heavy rain, and the noise of cars is so loud.
However, Li Shuai is so sure that he directly crosses him to give an order, even if he is wrong, he can't refuse, at this time, even if Li Shuai's hallucination has to wait to find out and confirm that it is an illusion, he must not miss any opportunity to save the lives and property of the people!
