The snow fell all night, and by the next morning, the snow on the ground had not reached the calves, Lin Yuan felt a biting cold wind hit his face as soon as he went out, he obviously felt that today was much colder than before, he looked up, there was a white expanse all around, a group of children were having a snowball fight outside the camp, and the soldiers in the camp were clearing the snow.

At this time, the meteorological department sent a message: "The cold snap is starting to work, it is expected that today and tomorrow, there will be a temperature drop of 15 degrees around Kulen, and there will be heavy snow in the next few days, the snowfall may be more than 400 mm, and the scope of this cold snap will gradually spread to the whole of Mongolia." ”

When Lin Yuan heard the news, he immediately summoned the commanders of the various troops, and Lin Yuan said in a serious tone: "Comrades, now we have encountered a particularly powerful enemy, this enemy's destructive power and combat effectiveness are thousands of times that of **, and this enemy is the upcoming snow disaster and low temperature. ”

"The impact of low temperature on our troops is not very great, because our troops have the experience of fighting in the cold zone of the northeast, and the warm clothing is relatively sufficient, and our various vehicles are also equipped with antifreeze, and the people in Mongolia who are more affected are the people, and in the next few days, we must be ready to rescue the people besieged by heavy snow."

A staff officer said: "If you want to rescue the people, you must remove the snow, we have also seen the snow outside, if it falls again, I am afraid it will reach the knees, such a thick snow, it is difficult to remove it by manpower alone!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I was ready when I received the low temperature warning, and I have mobilized a hundred bulldozers from the northeast, all of which can be used to open roads in the snow and rescue herders who are besieged by heavy snow. ”

"In addition, it may be difficult for the herdsmen's yurts to withstand such low temperatures, so in order to ensure that the herders have a house to live in, I ordered that all the work at hand be stopped recently, and the construction of houses in the herdsmen's concentrated settlement area will be willing to live in it. Also, let the forage of the trading city be transported to various places, and the cattle will soon be out of fodder. ”

Just when Lin Yuan was in a meeting, the snow began to fall again, and it was no longer knee-high at night, but fortunately, the snow was only around Kulun, and the traffic line from the northeast into Kulun was not blocked, so diesel fuel and food were continuously transported from the northeast, and they ensured the smooth implementation of snow clearing operations and house construction.

What surprised Lin Yuan was that when he went to inspect the newly built house, he found a radiator inside, and when he asked, he found out that his subordinates had brought a batch of boilers from the Northeast, which were used by steam engines in the past, but now the Northeast is popularizing electricity, so some of the boilers in the original factory have been eliminated.

Lin Yuan's subordinates felt that it would be a pity to send these boilers into the steelmaking furnace as scrap metal, so they sent them to Mongolia and began to provide central heating for Mongolian residential areas, so that this thing that only appeared in the 20th century appeared in Mongolia.

The heavy snow stopped for two days, as the saying goes, "cold before frost, cold after snow", the temperature suddenly dropped as soon as the snow stopped, the highest temperature in Kulun during the day was close to minus 20 degrees, Lin Yuan was thinking about the future plan, and suddenly someone outside reported: "There is a herdsman who wants to see you." ”

Lin Yuan let the herdsman in, Lin Yuan looked at him and remembered that he was the herdsman who took him to meet the old leader of Agoura, only to see that his clothes were covered with white ice ballast, obviously sweat was frozen on his clothes, and his eyebrows and beard were also full of hoarfrost, Lin Yuan quickly poured him a cup of hot water and asked, "What happened?" ”

The herdsman hurriedly said, "Our whole tribe has been trapped by the heavy snow, and many of our cattle have froze to death, and the chief has sent me out to ask for help. ”

As soon as Lin Yuan heard the news, he immediately set off with ten bulldozers and a company of soldiers to rescue the besieged herdsmen, but as soon as he left the city, the herdsmen were immediately dumbfounded, because the surroundings were already white, and the road when he came had been covered, and even the footprints on the ground were buried by the snow raised by the wind.

The herdsman panicked for a while, not knowing what to do, Lin Yuan suddenly came up with a way, and said to the herdsman: "You have heard of the old horse knowing the way, your horse may know how to go on the road, so let your horse go ahead, maybe it will be able to find your tribe." ”

The herdsman said: "I didn't have a horse with me when I came out, and the horse couldn't walk on a snowy day. Everyone was at a loss when they saw that this method was not working, and they didn't know what to do.

Lin Yuan had an idea, let the drone immediately take pictures of the vicinity, and then look for possible places to live on the picture, fortunately: those herdsmen trapped in the snow also wanted to open a road out of the road, so there was a deep snow ditch left on the snow field, which can be seen at a glance on the aerial pictures.

Lin Yuan determined the direction, and immediately led people to that direction, the bulldozer pushed in front, Lin Yuan took people to shovel snow behind, the snow was too big, usually it only took more than an hour to ride a horse, and everyone trekked for seven or eight hours, and only when it was dark did they see the fire in the distance.

Lin Yuan hurriedly led people over, only to see the corpses of cattle and sheep all over the ground, the corpses were covered with white frost, it was obvious that they were frozen to death, and then looked at the living cattle and sheep, they were also shivering from the cold, the old leader of Agoura was so surprised that he couldn't speak when he saw Lin Yuan, and said to Lin Yuan: "Lin Shuai, I refuted your face last time, you can still come to save us?" ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly said, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's go to the settlement near Kulun immediately." The group left the snowy place, and finally arrived in the settlement, many people were frostbitten, Lin Yuan asked a doctor to treat everyone, and then he heard the cry of a woman in the team.

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "Everyone bear with me, there will be a doctor soon." ”

The women said, "It's nothing if people are frostbitten, but the cattle and sheep are almost frozen to death, how will we survive next year!" ”

After hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already said that you can come to our place of residence to settle down, and we will give you livestock to ensure that your life will not be affected." Lin Yuan looked at the leader as he spoke, and asked, "Old man, what do you say?" ”

Agoura was still a little hesitant, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, you can think about it again, I still have to help other people." Lin Yuan came out of them and thought in his heart: "I can't wait for the herdsmen to come to me, and then go to rescue them, this will be too delayed, I must take the initiative to find and rescue the people besieged by the heavy snow." ”

Lin Yuan thought of this, and found that the number of bulldozers was a little insufficient, so Lin Yuan transferred the construction machinery of Kyakhta, anyway, there was no hurry to build fortifications, Lin Yuan asked the drone to take aerial pictures of the ground, looking for those herdsmen who were besieged by heavy snow, and some escaped herdsmen Lin Yuan also arranged them to concentrate on the settlement, with Lin Yuan's full rescue, although Kulen suffered the worst snow disaster in history, the loss suffered was not very large.
