Chapter 136: Rescue Southern Xinjiang
After listening to the captain's words, Zhang Wei seemed to have fallen into the abyss all of a sudden, and the excitement in the morning disappeared in an instant.
He lowered his head and didn't say a word, full of grievances and didn't know where to start.
Seeing that Zhang Wei didn't speak, the captain continued: "Second squad leader, I know that you feel very uncomfortable, and you can't visit your relatives normally. However, you are a military man, and it is the duty of a military man to obey orders. You are both a party member and the backbone of the squadron, and you should play an exemplary and leading role in this regard, and you should understand the principle that the small family is subordinate to everyone and the personal interests are subordinate to the interests of the state. ”
Zhang Wei nodded silently, but who could understand the pain in his heart?
His mind went blank, he didn't hear a word of the captain's words of comfort, he didn't even know how he got back.
The long security alarm sounded, and the soldiers nervously prepared relief equipment, raincoats, war shovels, flashlights, etc., and their backpacks were also beaten.
Except for going to the toilet, they couldn't go anywhere, they all sat in the dormitory, just waiting for the order to be dispatched.
In the following days, the people on family leave were called back one after another, and the exhaustion on their faces showed that they had rushed back day and night.
The mobile squadron arrived in southern Xinjiang from Wushi ahead of schedule with the large force, camped and stationed, and waited for orders.
At one o'clock in the morning, somewhere in southern Xinjiang, the rain was pouring down, and the whole city was shrouded in a dark rain curtain, and from time to time a lightning bolt crossed the sky, like a dragon, with teeth and claws, followed by a deafening roar, and the citizens were immersed in sleep.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of the heavens and the earth, and people were awakened from their deep sleep, only to hear someone shouting heartbreakingly: "Oh no, there is a flash flood." ”
The torrent rushed down the mountain to several villages at the foot of the mountain, uprooting trees, flooding crops, and knocking down villagers' courtyard walls.
Villagers who woke up from their sleep were forced to climb onto the roofs with their families, their livestock were soaked in the water before they could be moved, flash floods continued to flood, and people's lives and property were in great danger
Danger is an order, and a rush of emergency assembly whistles sounded, and the soldiers quickly dressed and got out of bed.
After the squads, platoons, squadrons, brigades, and detachments were assembled step by step, and after 20 minutes, all the officers and men of the detachment assembled.
"Take a break, stand upright" Captain Wang saluted and reported to the detachment commander after finishing the whole team: "Comrade detachment leader, all the officers and soldiers have been assembled, please instruct." ”
"Please take a break." The detachment commander returned the order.
A bolt of lightning tore through the night sky, and the officers and soldiers were instantly frozen in the rain curtain like a terracotta warrior.
"I'll say a few words."
The detachment commander spoke, all the officers and men quickly stood upright, and the detachment commander's speech went straight to the point, and directly began the emergency rescue and disaster relief mobilization.
"Comrades, just 20 minutes ago, torrential rain caused flash floods, flooding several towns and villages bordering the mountainous areas in the west, and tens of thousands of people were affected. As you can see, our barracks are being soaked in water at the moment, and although we are inconvenient, the masses of the people need us more, and they urgently need us to come to the rescue. The time has come for the party and the people to test us, and all units will set off in accordance with the positions specified in the plan! ”
Suddenly, the motor roared, the troop carriers stopped on the road, and the soldiers quickly flew into the car, and after the debut, the wheels of the car rolled over the knee-length water, and slowly drove out of the camp.
The dazzling headlights pierced the night like a sharp sword, as if stabbing at the crazy dragon, leaving the barracks, the convoy began to speed towards the disaster area.
This catastrophic flood hit this southern Xinjiang city at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains with unprecedented destructive power, and several towns and villages bordering the mountainous areas were in a hurry, and the safety of the people's lives and property was seriously threatened.
If the affected people are not safely evacuated before the second flash flood arrives, the consequences will be dire.
Danger is an order, and a large number of armed police officers and men have arrived in the disaster area one after another.
When there were only a few miles left from the destination, the convoy slowly stopped, and it turned out that one of the cars in front of it had stalled, because the water was too deep and flooded the exhaust pipes, and it was impossible to take the car, so the soldiers had to jump out of the car and run to the predetermined location with water.
After the officers and men of the detachment arrived at the designated position, they began to rescue the affected villagers.
In the knee-deep flood, some of the officers and men supported the elderly, some held children, and some held women.
Under his feet was a flood that was deep and shallow, his body was covered with mud, his face could not tell whether it was sweat or rain, and his head was pouring rain.
Slipped, they quickly got up and were injured, and they were also slightly injured and did not get off the line.
At this moment, they have only one belief in their hearts: to move the masses out safely and safely as quickly as possible.
The mobile squadron was in charge of Wangzhuang, and by the time the whole company arrived at Wangzhuang, it had become a country of Ze and was one of the most severely affected villages.
The flood has almost reached the windowsill, and the villagers are squatting on the roofs waiting for rescue.
Livestock struggled in the water, there was a chaotic and noisy shouting everywhere, and the houses were crumbling in the water.
Without further ado, the officers and soldiers quickly launched a rescue operation, and the villagers were helped off the roof one by one and moved to a safe place.
The villagers were reluctant to take away the valuable things at home as much as possible, carrying large bags and small bags of things one by one, and some old people were reluctant to leave, so the officers and soldiers forcibly carried them away if they could not persuade them.
Some adobe-walled houses have already begun to collapse, and if there is a second flash flood, the consequences will be dire.
Now it is imperative to move the masses out safely first, and the soldiers are busy against the clock with a knee-deep flood!
The armed police soldiers carried the old man on their backs, held the children, and supported the women, their faces dripping with sweat.
They slipped and got up and continued to walk, and they were injured and lightly injured and could not get out of the "line of fire", they had only one belief in their hearts, racing against time to divert the masses.
At this moment, they have only one belief in their hearts, to move the masses out safely and securely as quickly as possible.
A bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the dark night, and the sky suddenly revealed a hideous face, like a lion with a bloody mouth open, and the rain poured down, and the frightened expressions of the people were instantly frozen under the lightning.
Immediately after that, a few "clicks" of thunder came over, the earth trembled, and the crowd became restless.
Squadron Leader Wu Sheng shouted in a hoarse voice: "Don't panic, don't panic, keep moving forward." ”
However, his roar was so pale in the cries of pigs and sheep and the cries of children that the scene was chaotic.
