Chapter 213: The Wenxi Incident (14)
In those years, most of the buildings in Changsha were mainly made of wood, and once the fire was burned, if it was not rescued in time, it would soon burn into a large area.
Therefore, although Bai Fei mobilized the army to take over the security inspection in Changsha in time, during this period, there were more and more fires in the city.
He instructed his subordinates to isolate the fire area while directing traffic to control the source of the fire. In a short time, more than 100 soldiers and thugs who took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble had already been arrested along the street. During the execution, some people claimed that they were subordinates of the 2nd Garrison Regiment and that they had set fire to the city on orders, and not only did they not obey the control, but they also gathered a crowd with guns and planned to confront Bai Fei's regiment directly under the gendarmerie.
Bai Fei is so anxious at the moment, how can he waste time here? He didn't say a word, and as soon as he waved his hand, there was immediately a burst of gunfire on the side of the regiment directly under the gendarmerie, and immediately more than 10 hardliners of the Second Changsha Garrison Regiment were beaten into a hornet's nest.
The rest of the people looked at the bloody scene in front of them, as well as the other party's clear automatic weapon and the muzzle of the black hole, and immediately threw away the Zhongzheng rifle in their hands and obediently became prisoners.
The news that Bai Fei shot several soldiers of the Changsha garrison on the street soon spread throughout the city, and the rest of the soldiers who were about to set fire to the city were immediately shocked, and at this point, the fire points in Changsha City finally stopped increasing.
At this time, in addition to the small fire in the west city, the east city, the north city, the south city, the three directions are all in flames, the people in their sleep were awakened, everyone thought that the Japanese had called, for a time, the street was crowded with people and vehicles who fled in a hurry, shouting and crying into a loud voice, one after another to help the old and the young to rush to the west.
When Bai Fei saw this scene, his heart sank. Now Changsha is overcrowded, hundreds of thousands of people, with his current number of people, if he wants to maintain order, it may be possible. However, if order is maintained, there will be no one to save the fire, and then the fire will take advantage of the wind, and maybe it will repeat the mistakes of history.
Just when he was in a dilemma, more than 800 police teams and firefighters organized by Wen Chongfu, the chief of the Changsha City Police, finally rushed over. Immediately afterwards, the Changsha garrison led by Yu Yi himself also began to spread all over the city and actively engaged in extinguishing the fire.
Seeing this, Bai Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could catch his breath, a special combat team member ran over and reported: "Tuanzao, there is a fire near Tianxin Pavilion, and the Chaohuatian Hotel has now been burned by the fire. ”
"What?" Bai Fei was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Have all the people in the hotel withdrawn?" ”
The special combat member said: "The fire is very urgent, our captain is organizing the evacuation of personnel, and before I came, I had not seen Miss Kong Lingwei in the evacuation crowd." ”
Bai Fei was even more anxious when he heard this.
It turned out that since the agreement with Seven Star Company on the purchase of penicillin was reached that day, Kong Lingkan didn't know where to go, leaving Kong Lingwei alone in Changsha. Because Kong Lingwei liked Bai Fei, he was not in a hurry to return to Chongqing, and pestered him to travel around all day long, and later simply proposed to live in Bai Fei's military camp. Bai Fei's head was extremely big, so he had to persuade her to arrange for her to stay in the Chaohuatian Hotel, lest this eldest lady lose her temper and really move to his barracks to move in, wouldn't it be a joke when the time comes.
Unexpectedly, a fire broke out in the city today, and it burned to the Chaohuatian Hotel, Kong Lingwei has a special identity, if there is any accident, Bai Fei is really full of mouths and can't say clearly.
As soon as he thought of this, Bai Fei immediately led people to the direction of Tianxin Pavilion, and when he got to the front, he saw a sea of fire all around, and people could feel the temperature of the flames burning dozens of meters away.
At this time, the whole hotel was covered in thick smoke, and the fire was raging in the hotel, and the fire was violently rushing upstairs. On the window facing the street, several hotel guests were crying hoarsely at the window, and they were forced by the fire to jump down.
At this time, Li Hu, who was commanding the fire and saving people, saw Bai Fei arrive, so he hurriedly ran over to report.
After learning that Kong Lingwei was still in the building, Bai Fei's heart sank, and he immediately shouted: "Find a few beds of quilts soaked in water, drape them on your body, and follow me into the fire to save people!" ”
"Yes!"
Soon, several quilts were brought over, Bai Fei pulled out a bed, poured a few buckets of water on it, and was about to rush to the hotel on his body. Seeing this, Li Hu grabbed him and said, "Tuanzao, it's too dangerous inside, you better not go in." ”
Can Bai Feiyan not know the danger? It's just that Kong Lingwei doesn't know whether he is alive or dead now, if he is told to wait outside, how to put his mind down. So he said: "When is this, it's important to save people, don't be a mother-in-law anymore." ”
After saying that, he rushed towards the fire without looking back. Li Hu had no choice but to follow suit and follow with a few special combat team members.
As soon as he entered the hotel, the temperature around him immediately rose sharply, and Bai Fei only felt that it was difficult to breathe, even if he was hiding in the wet quilt, he still had a feeling of being scorched by the fire. He knew that he could not stay here for long, and was about to identify the direction and rush upstairs, when suddenly, there was a click, and a huge black shadow crossed overhead. At the last moment, Bai Fei rolled forward and avoided it dangerously, and with a "boom", stones mixed with several thick beams smashed on the ground, immediately sealing the door of the hotel.
It turned out that the fire had spilled through the building on the second floor of the hotel lobby and collapsed.
"Tuanza, Tuanza! Are you okay? Li Hu and a few people had just run to the door of the hotel, and before they could enter, the sudden collapse had already blocked them outside. Seeing this situation, Li Hu jumped to his feet in a hurry and immediately shouted loudly.
Bai Fei was also scared out of a cold sweat when he was in the house, and immediately said: "I'm fine, don't come in, immediately make a simple protective net downstairs, and after I find someone, I will jump down from the window." ”
After saying that, he covered his mouth with the quilt, took a deep breath, and quickly rushed up the stairs with a flame.
The fire enveloped the entire corridor, Bai Fei held his breath, and with the wet quilt wrapped around his body, he moved left and right in the flames to dodge, until he reached the fourth floor, and when he found Kong Lingwei's room, he almost lost his breath. At this time, his body had been burned in many places, his hair was burned into curls by the fire, and even his eyebrows were almost burned.
After a slight slowdown, Bai Fei stepped open the door, but unexpectedly, a flame suddenly rushed out of the room, Bai Fei jumped, and hurriedly dodged to avoid it. It turned out that the tables, chairs, sofas, beds, curtains, etc. in Kong Lingwei's house had already been ignited by the fire coming in from the window, and at this time, the fire in the house was burning strongly, and the door suddenly opened, causing the air flow in the house, and the flames naturally rushed to the door.
Seeing this situation, Bai Fei's heart suddenly seemed to fall into the abyss, and he couldn't help but recall Kong Lingwei's kindness to him during this time, and said that he knew this was the case, and let her live in the barracks that day. The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I became, and when I was in a daze, I suddenly found that the door of the bathroom in the room was closed, and water stains were constantly spilling out of the cracks on the floor.
Bai Fei was shocked when he saw it, regardless of the fire in the house, he hurriedly jumped over, and then stepped open the door of the bathroom.
