The sun was setting, and it was almost 21 o'clock when it was dark, and the search for the counter-investigation lasted for two full hours, and it was still continuing. Several high-power lights lit up the scene, and everyone looked extremely serious as if it were daytime.

The six members of Cao Xing's crew, who had stood there for two hours, had already been frozen and shivering, and their lips were bloodless. Without Xue Xiangdong's order, no one dared to let them relax and stomp their feet on the spot to keep warm, and they didn't dare to move at all.

If they can withstand it, they are willing to stand until the next dawn.

Zheng Kaiyun paced back and forth in a military coat, and no longer had the heart to care about the regulations on smoking in the flight area, one after another, and there were cigarette butts everywhere he walked. The seven officers and men on duty were also lined up in the same order, and the military posture was fixed there, which was no different from Cao Xing's maintenance group.

Some people may think that the officers and men of the support company are unlucky, but no snowflake is innocent during the avalanche.

Li Zhan saw that the team in charge of inspecting the fighter plane had begun to dismantle the engine, and in the freezing weather, the brothers in the maintenance of the aircraft could only work with thin labor protection gloves. The fighter plane must not be moved, and nothing can be moved on the scene until the missing screwdriver is found.

He couldn't bear it in his heart, dragged Cong Dawei aside, and asked in a low voice, "If you can't find it, just keep looking for it?" Did it work? ”

In the final analysis, he has only been flying in the army for more than a year, and he is the same as Han Hongjun, Li Zixin and others, of course, many things in the army have never been seen or experienced, and many things encountered by the aircraft maintenance have never been heard of. Li Zhan knew the seriousness of such accidents, but he was not familiar with the relevant handling methods.

Cong Dawei sighed and said, "I've been looking for it, it won't stop, and I can't find it if I dismantle the engine, so I will continue to dismantle it and dismantle it." If you can't find it, you can turn over the whole station to find it, and the head of the regiment said that digging three feet into the ground is not a joke, and if necessary, it will definitely dig three feet into the ground. All in all, until you find it, don't do anything else if you can't find it, and everyone will look for it together. ”

It's crazy, but it's reasonable and necessary. The screwdriver that disappeared inexplicably in the flight area is a time bomb, and if this time bomb is not found, the safety hazard cannot be discharged. Tonight's night flight is in vain, and the next flight training will definitely be stopped until it is found.

Li Zhan even suspected that if this fighter could not be found, Xue Xiangdong estimated that he would disassemble the other fighters into pieces to check and search.

"What if you still can't find it?" Li Zhan couldn't help but ask.

Cong Dawei shook his head decisively, "Impossible, absolutely impossible to find it, even if it is a fly, as long as it does not leave the camp, even if it dies in the most remote corner, it must be found and buried, if necessary!" ”

Sighing deeply, he said in a deep voice, "A few years ago, something similar happened to the brothers, there was an extra rivet after replacing vulnerable parts, and the maintenance team had been in contact with three planes, but they didn't find where the rivets were missing, and finally all three planes were dismantled, one by one. In the end, I found out that when receiving spare parts, the warehouse was negligently equipped with more rivets. ”

"From the deputy head in charge to the warehouse assistant to the handler, including the maintenance team, all of them were punished and discharged, and no one was left behind."

Li Zhan gasped and secretly shook his tongue. Usually, his attention is on flying, and his understanding of aircraft maintenance is limited to daily maintenance with Lou Yiwang, Niu Yaoyang and others during the Second Division, the purpose is to understand the specific structure of the fighter, and he is not familiar with aircraft maintenance accidents. At this time, it was discovered that the fighter plane had undergone strict maintenance before it was handed over to the pilot.

Sighing slightly, Li Zhan was about to say something when a cheetah car came over at a rapid speed and braked, dragging out two black tire prints on the somewhat wet ground. Before the car stopped, Han Bo pushed open the door and jumped out, walking towards Xue Xiangdong in a hurry.

Cong Dawei sighed and said, "This has made Deputy Head Han miserable." ”

Han Bo, deputy head of the maintenance group, as the leader of the regiment in charge of maintenance, Han Bo is definitely responsible for the main leadership. Li Zhan remembered that Deputy Head Han was on vacation to spend the Spring Festival at home, and his home was in Beikucheng, three hours away from the station. It could be seen from the cheetah car with snow on the roof of the dusty car that Han Bo must have gone crazy as soon as he received the call.

Han Bo gasped and reported to Xue Xiangdong in a low voice, "Commander, I've arrived." ”

Xue Xiangdong glanced at him coldly and didn't say anything.

Is Han Bo unlucky, unlucky and unlucky. As the deputy head in charge of maintenance, he has an unshirkable responsibility for the accident in this part of the maintenance. Among the several deputy regiment commanders, Yang Jinshan, who is in charge of operations, has the least real power, and the person in charge of aircraft maintenance is a sweet spot in everyone's eyes. The more important the position, the more important the responsibility, whether you are on vacation or at the post.

The temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius is completely ignored by everyone, and the less likely it is to find a screwdriver as time goes by, it means that the search range will be expanded.

The impact has been done, and it is huge. Not to mention that tonight's night flight was in the soup, and the next flight training was basically out of play. No matter how this matter is resolved in the end, it is indispensable to the major rectification of aircraft maintenance, and there will definitely be no shortage of discipline rectification in the whole regiment and all stations. In the event of such a major man-made accident, it must be taken seriously if it is placed anywhere. Railway maintenance departments, machine manufacturing workshops, high-tech laboratories, and so on, in the event of a similar accident, a comprehensive rectification is indispensable.

Security is usually the main focus of the officer, which shows its importance.

Li Zhan couldn't help anything, but just standing and watching was not his style. Through a calm chat, the officers and men of Cao Xing's maintenance team calmed down, and carefully inquired about the whole process again, and there was no suspicious clue. The operation of Cao Xing's maintenance team can be said to be very standardized, if they are not lying. Li Zhan believed that it was impossible for them to lie about such a significant matter.

Seeing Zheng Kaiyun standing in front of the seven officers and soldiers of the support company talking to a cadre, Li Zhan asked Cao Xing, "The support company hasn't used any tools, right?" ”

Cao Xing shook his head, "No, they waited at the designated location according to the regulations after handing over the support vehicle to us." None of them are newcomers, so they know what's going on. ”

"Isn't that a recruit? Recruits don't have much awareness. Li Zhan raised his hand and pointed at the private at the end of the line, "Yes, the recruits haven't left the army yet, right?" How did the soldiers come about? ”

Everyone looked at it, but they didn't think it was strange.

Cao Xing said, "There are also those who have left the troops in advance, mainly because of the lack of manpower. The new training regiments in the provincial capital are all trained in batches, first to train and first to leave the troops. However, the military rank was worn in advance and has not yet been officially awarded. ”

In recent years, it was still a winter conscription, and the recruits were basically concentrated in December to enlist in the army, and in mid-March of the following year, they were discharged from the army. Depending on the actual situation, some units will be a little earlier, and some will be a little later. If the company is in urgent need of manpower, the soldiers who have completed the training of new recruits will leave the unit ahead of schedule, and then they will be awarded titles in a unified manner after they have officially left the unit.

"Recruits don't know for sure."

Li Zhan said this and walked over.

How sensitive everyone is at this time, as soon as Zheng Kaiyun saw Li Zhan coming over, he immediately stopped talking to his cadres and followed Li Zhan.

Li Zhan went straight to the seven officers and men of the support company, looked at them one by one, and finally his eyes fell on the face of the little private, and he was surprised to find that the little private was swinging, his lips were white, and his forehead was full of sweat. The temperature was more than ten degrees below zero, and I actually broke out in a cold sweat.

"Squad leader, are your soldiers sick? Sweating. Li Zhan said to the third non-commissioned officer at the head of the platoon.

The third-term non-commissioned officer hurriedly walked over, took off his gloves, held the shoulder of the little private and used his palm to probe his body temperature, and asked in a low voice, "Tang Songchen, how do you feel?" ”

The little private Tang Songchen trembled so much that he couldn't speak, only saw his mouth open and open.

The third-phase non-commissioned officer hurriedly walked over to report to Zheng Kaiyun, and before he finished speaking, Tang Songchen's whole person was paralyzed, and he was about to fall to the ground. Li Zhan's eyes were quick and he hurriedly held on, and his hand was inadvertently smacked by something. He was stunned, grabbed Tang Songchen's shoulders and lifted him up, his voice was colder than ice, "You stand up!" ”

His voice attracted the attention of many people, everyone's nerves were in the most sensitive state, all the movements were extremely careful and serious, and no one would talk frequently.

When Li Zhan asked like this, it was undoubtedly a thunderbolt on the ground.

"Stand still!"

Li Zhan quickly took two steps back and opened the distance, raising his voice and shouting again.

Tang Songchen staggered and finally gritted his teeth and stood firm, and the people also cried in a sparse voice.

"What's in your pocket, take it out." Li Zhan stared at Tang Songchen coldly.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone knew what was going on.

Zheng Kaiyun's reaction speed was the fastest, he walked over in three steps and two steps, grabbed Tang Songchen's shoulder with one hand, and began to search his body with the other.

took out a screwdriver from the left pocket of Tang Songchen's jacket.

Zheng Kaiyun's face was darker than the night on the spot. He didn't even have to verify it to be sure that the screwdriver was the one he had lost. Looking at Tang Songchen again, Zheng Kaiyun couldn't wait to shoot him.

Everyone stopped.

Xue Xiangdong and other leaders of the 101st Regiment walked over quickly, and as soon as they saw the screwdriver in Zheng Kaiyun's hand and the little private who was crying so hard that he couldn't stand steadily, he understood everything. Xue Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and put down a large piece of stone, but for the sake of safety, he asked Cong Dawei and Cao Xing to come over and check the screwdrivers, and the numbers were matched, and it was determined that it was the one that was lost.

"Lock him up."

Zheng Kaiyun, who was already on the verge of breaking out, pointed at Tang Songchen and said to the third-phase non-commissioned officer through gritted teeth, and then changed his words, "The guard company is here!" Lock them all up! ”

The soldiers of the guard company who immediately came over a squad, and the head of the military affairs unit of the station took them, and escorted the seven officers and soldiers of the support company into the commuter car and sent them directly to the confinement room, including the leading cadre who was still talking to Zheng Kaiyun just now.

Some people are happy and some are sad, to be precise, some people want to cry until there are no tears.

Zheng Kaiyun exhausted the qi cultivation kung fu cultivated for more than 20 years to control the emotions that were on the verge of collapse, let his tone be as gentle as possible, and said to Xue Xiangdong, "Head Xue, take a step to speak." ”

As he spoke, he walked out into the middle of nowhere.

Xue Xiangdong frowned and pointed at Li Zhan, "You come too." ”

The two walked over and began informal consultations.
