Chapter 091: A loud bang in the storm
—————
When the sun should have set, it was like night, and I couldn't see anything when I looked out, the wind and rain were loud, and occasionally a strong gust of wind hit the doors and windows, and I groaned in pain, as if I might not be able to support it at any time.
Li Shuai drove back to No. 3 Courtyard and parked the car in the leeward place to avoid being overturned by strong gusts of wind. Niu Jun also came back with the car, and he couldn't do anything next.
People who are slightly worse in weight outside can be blown away, not to mention other outdoor activities.
"One class will follow me to the cooking class to carry the rice!" Li Shuai rushed to the row room and shouted, and ran to the cooking class with a group of ten soldiers.
The cooking squad received an order to cook in advance, and all companies of the recruit regiment carried dinner back to eat, with as little exposure to the outdoors as possible. The troops must be prepared in advance and ready to support them at any time, ensure that the officers and men have hot food and hot water, and when necessary, they must set up field camps and pull out cooking trucks to cook on the spot.
The female recruits had a special dinner, the dining table was used as a bed board, a small bench was used as a table leg, and a long table with three bed boards was put together, and the whole platoon of personnel sat together, with only one bowl and a pair of chopsticks in their hands, and the meals were all packed with big face plates.
This is the legendary big pot of rice.
On the contrary, it is more interesting than eating a buffet in the canteen, and everyone's appetite is better.
Li Shuai, Niu Jun and Chen Xue'er followed the female recruits to dine together, halfway through the meal, Zhu Wei brought a few soldiers to bring mineral water, and when he saw this situation, he honestly and unceremoniously sat down beside Chen Xue'er, and after sending those soldiers back, he found a rice bowl and ate it.
"When you board the car, bring mineral water, the water from the kettle is not enough to drink, and when the situation is chaotic, it will be difficult for the material truck to take care of each company, so be prepared." Zhu Wei said.
Li Shuai said, "Our platoon is assigned to the fifth company of recruits, and we may not be dispatched. ”
The sortie sequence is according to the number, from the first company of recruits to the twelfth company of recruits, the first four companies are the first echelon, and if there is no follow-up order, the follow-up echelon will not be pulled out. When the troops make such a plan, they will always have a strong reserve in their hands and will be able to play a big role in a critical moment.
"The troops may not be able to cope with all the troops." Zhu Wei paused, shook his head slightly, and said, "I just received a briefing that the maximum wind strength on the coastal sea surface has reached level 16, and there is no trend of weakening. There's a high probability that you've guessed it, crow's mouth. ”
Li Shuai was stunned for a moment, and his mood suddenly became a little low, "The worst situation has appeared." ”
Chen Xue'er said, "What a crow's mouth, this shows that Li Shuai's analysis and judgment are very accurate, more accurate than the so-called qi experts, isn't this a good thing?" ”
Niu Jun almost laughed out loud, and several female recruits with super high emotional intelligence on the side also had general expressions. Chen Xueer's performance was too obvious, so she almost stood beside Li Shuai and pointed at Zhu Wei's nose and scolded.
Zhu Wei was made red-faced, but he was also a cheeky person, and he would not be deterred by this little embarrassment, but said with a smile, "Yes, Li Shuai can work part-time as a weatherman." ”
"What's wrong with that, the handsome squad leader knows too much." Chen Xueer is also cheeky, she doesn't care about other people's eyes at all, and she says it beautifully, as if she is praising herself.
"Boom!"
Li Shuai fell off his job and stood up suddenly, "Don't move, everyone!" ”
After he finished speaking, he rushed out.
"What sound?" Zhu Wei stood up for the second and looked around vigilantly and suspiciously.
The sound source should be very far away, covering the sound of the wind and rain, which can be seen that something is wrong.
"Is it an explosion?" Chen Xueer asked.
Zhu Wei said solemnly, "It seems to be." ”
The female recruits were even more frightened by the sudden explosion, even the locals had never encountered an explosion on a typhoon day.
"Landslide, huh?" Niu Jun said suspiciously, and then ran out.
Li Shuai didn't run far, he just stood in the corridor and looked around in the direction where the sound came from, where could he see something in the white expanse. Niu Jun found that Li Shuai was looking at it very seriously.
"Look at it, you can't see anything." Niu Jun's Northeast dialect soared out.
Li Shuai said, "In the direction of Yangmingshan, there is an explosion. ”
"Yangmingshan warehouse?" Niu Jun was taken aback, she had just been to the combat readiness warehouse, and she saw that there were oil storage tanks or something.
Li Shuai shook his head and said, "It's not a combat warehouse, but it shouldn't be far from the warehouse." I have to go to the building. ”
"Oops, hey, bring your raincoat, wait!" Niu Jun turned around and rushed back to the row room, took out a raincoat and stuffed it for Li Shuai.
Li Shuai put on a raincoat and said, "Talk to Instructor Chen and ask her to be optimistic about the troops." ”
"Don't worry."
Li Shuai rushed downstairs and plunged into the rain and ran towards the building, the distance was close, and the car was not as fast as running. As soon as he arrived at the corridor on the first floor, Li Zewen ran down the stairs and immediately said, "Shuai squad leader, you came just in time, the political commissar is looking for you!" ”
Li Shuai ran upstairs without saying a word.
The political commissar was in the duty room, and several staff officers were busy, and the atmosphere was very tense.
As soon as Li Shuai entered, he heard a staff officer report, "Chief, it's verified, it's not a combat readiness warehouse." ”
"Keep learning!" Political Commissar Yuan instructed.
"Report." Li Shuai strode over to report.
Political Commissar Yuan immediately pulled Li Shuai aside and said, "Did you hear the explosion?" ”
"I heard it, it was an explosion, and it was very intense." Li Shuai said solemnly.
Political Commissar Yuan said, "It's not a combat warehouse, but it's definitely not far from a combat warehouse." They don't have many men on their side, and we're the closest force to them. I want you to take a team over and find out what's going on. ”
"Understood." Li Shuai said, "Didn't the relevant local departments grasp the situation? ”
"Nope. There were no gas stations, no oil depots, nothing in that area, and they didn't know exactly what the explosion was. But what is certain is that there is no one in that area, and there should be no casualties. Political Commissar Yuan was naturally very familiar with the terrain around the base, and quickly made a judgment.
Li Shuai was not so optimistic, and said in a deep voice, "It's very similar to an explosion in a tanker truck or oil tank." ”
There is no doubt that if there were explosions in these two types of items, there would almost certainly be casualties, especially in the case of tanker trucks, which would be particularly serious if there were a large number of houses around the road routed.
"What's your opinion?" Political Commissar Yuan asked, he trusted Li Shuai's judgment very much, and if this kid said that he had consumed more ammunition than the entire base of officers and soldiers combined, he would also believe it.
"Let the health team send a car to accompany you, and if conditions permit, it is better to have two ambulances and two medical teams." Li Shuai thought for a while and said, "In addition, I want to take my troops there, they can do it." ”
"Female recruit independent platoon?" Political Commissar Yuan shook his head when he heard this, "No, no, absolutely not, I don't worry about letting the recruits go, let alone the female recruits." You pick a lean class from the instructor corps to go over. ”
Li Shuai said, "Chief, if it's just reconnaissance of the situation, there is no need for backbones at all, and I will take two people there to see what is going on." The point is that if there are casualties, they must be rushed into the rescue immediately, women have an advantage over men, and I have taught them some basic battlefield first aid skills. ”
"You've taught?" Political Commissar Yuan was surprised.
Li Shuai said, "Yes, I have been training for more than a month using fragmented time, and the technique is okay." ”
Political Commissar Yuan groaned.
"In this way, since this is the case, then go over with more people, Su Pingguo platoon and your platoon, I will give you three more ambulances, but there are only two medical teams, and the rescue team will set off immediately. You bring your walkie-talkie and mobile phone and keep in touch with me. Political Commissar Yuan made a decision immediately.
"Yes!"
Political Commissar Yuan looked at the time, "It's eighteen thirty o'clock, and it's only two and a half hours before the typhoon makes landfall. Two hours, I'll give you two hours, and after two hours, be sure to return to the base to take shelter! ”
"Yes!"
Li Shuai saluted and left.
The various detachments that received the order quickly took action, and the three ambulances and two medical teams of the health team rushed to the designated assembly point within five minutes, and the independent platoon of female recruits and the Su Pingguo platoon also arrived at the assembly point within the specified time by two heavy trucks with four front and eight rear wheels. Li Shuai drove the Cheetah 2030C off-road vehicle, Zhu Wei served as the commander of the detachment, Chen Xueer served as the deputy commander, Li Shuai and Su Pingguo were responsible for their respective platoons, and Niu Jun was shooting with the car. Five minutes later, a rescue detachment of six vehicles flashed their lights and pulled their sirens and rushed out of the camp in the darkness of the wind and rain.
After hearing the explosion, they immediately inspected the warehouse, and found that the problem was not their own, so the commander immediately personally took a few soldiers and a vehicle to search all the way along the road. As a result, in less than ten minutes, they saw a tragic scene.
It was true that there was an explosion of the tanker, but the situation at the scene made the commander of the combat readiness warehouse immediately retreat to a safe distance.
There are three fuel tankers, two of which are private oil trucks, and the van truck is converted from the oil storage truck, which looks exactly the same as the van truck, but in fact there are not only oil tanks, but also complete sets of refueling equipment. The other was supposed to be a regular medium-sized tanker, and it could be judged from the wreckage that it was a tank of specifications, and it was this vehicle that exploded.
In other words, the two fuel trucks converted from vans, which have no safety at all, could explode at any time!
The commander of the combat readiness warehouse knew very well how dangerous the scene was, but the duty of the soldier made him stand still, racking his brains to find a way to enter the scene and search for survivors......
