Wang Kai, the head of the Yingkou City Public Security Fire Detachment, led his team directly into the fire. On the north side of their position was the unloading platform, with two large pillars of fire in front and rear, each sixty or seventy meters high. The fire was dazzling, the smoke was thick, and it was impossible to see the road clearly. The Zhongshan Squadron of the Dalian City Public Security Fire Detachment is withdrawing down and taking a break. They drove the car underneath the second pillar of fire.

As soon as Wang Kai got out of the car, he was grabbed by the arm of the safety director of the Port Authority. The director was very anxious, his hands were trembling, and he said, "OTD, OTD is going to explode, you have to keep it!" ”

I am not authorized to explain the meaning of the acronym OTD, which is the code for a chemical product. It has a low ignition point and is easily explosive. This product is a liquid, which instantly expands hundreds of times after the explosion and becomes a gas, which is highly toxic. In a word, after it exploded, it was no longer inhabited for a hundred miles.

Of course, Wang Kai knows the meaning of OTD, and he also knows the consequences of its explosion. He knew that the Yingkou detachment had invisibly carried the heaviest beam of the fire. If it collapses, the whole situation will be lost, and there is still hope for it.

After the fire ignited on July 16, the first battlefield was in tank 103, and no one noticed that the flowing fire had crossed the flange group and approached the OTD. The port authority found this critical situation and asked the general headquarters to transfer personnel to strictly guard the OTD, at this time all the forces in Dalian were on the No. 103 tank, and no one could be transferred, and the Zhuanghe brigade could no longer hold out here in the OTD. At this time, the Yingkou detachment arrived.

Wang Kai asked the general headquarters for instructions on the phone call, and the leader said: "It is your task to defend the OTD, you have your own system, find water by yourself, there is no water to pump seawater, and you can take care of yourself, but you must ensure that the OTD is safe and sound." ”

Wang Kai and Xu Yongjiang reconnoitred the fire and found that they were already on the edge of the OTD.

It was midnight and it was raining, the fog was very heavy, and the firelight illuminated the black rain and the white mist floating on the sea. On the north side of them is the railway station and bus station for loading and unloading oil and chemicals, directly in front of them is the OTD tank group, on the west side is the 6-meter-wide Ding Road, and on the side of the T road are the 37th, 42nd, 38th, 41st, 39th, and 40th 6 large oil tanks, each tank loading 100,000 tons of crude oil.

Wang Kai ordered to set up a position here. With the 25-ton Mercedes-Benz water tanker as the main position, two water gun positions and two water cannon positions are erected. Five cars supply water to Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and two vehicles draw water from the seaside.

The battle was fierce, and 25 tons of water were finished in more than 10 minutes. The fire hydrant in District D has long since failed, and he has to go to the beach to fetch water by himself. The water can't be stopped, and the No. 37 can was already roasted red at that time, and when it burst, it would immediately engulf the OTD.

When they set up their position, the pump room dozens of meters away from the position had exploded, and what Wang Kai called the "second pillar of fire," which was more than 60 meters high, was being ignited. There are several tons of hydrogen peroxide piled up next to the pump room, and the railway station behind them is piled up with several tons of **, which are all more ferocious chemicals than **.

Even more dangerous is that tank No. 103 is 300 meters away from them, on high ground. Crude oil leaked from tank No. 103 and rushed to the position at Yingkou with fire. The low-lying terrain here is a gathering of oil fires from all directions, and OTD is surrounded by oil fires. It is said that the position should not be set up here, people cannot stand, how can the position be set up? Setting up a position here shows the heroic nature of the Yingkou City Public Security Fire Detachment focusing on the overall situation. There is no line of life and death defense here, and OTD will definitely explode. In the 7.16 fire, all the victories are small victories in exchange for big victories, even small victories are time in exchange for life, and countless hours are spent on the general attack to win the whole victory.

There is a set of flanges in front of the position at Yingkou, and a total of 14 oil pipelines with a diameter of one meter lead to the flanges. Underneath the flange was the oil sump, which was blazing at the time.

Wang Kai asked the director of the port authority: "Is Flange okay?" The director replied: "There will be no problem with the flange." ”

Just when Wang Kai pointed at the flange and didn't put it down, the flange group exploded. A loud bang was followed by black smoke, and the smoke was all black particles, which themselves were oil and oil vapor. Float up and sink down. The smoke did not wait for it to sink to the ground, and the open flames rose horizontally.

This is the position of Yingkou.

Wang Kai looked ahead, and it was an OTD storage tank, close at hand. The smallest storage tank stores 1,000 tons of high-risk chemicals, with a diameter of 10 meters and a height of 15 or 6 meters, and the largest storage tank of high-risk chemicals has a storage capacity of 5,000 tons. Wang Kai was already mentally prepared to donate his life in the fire, but he felt that it was a pity for the soldiers to sacrifice with him. The fighters are still too young, Wang Kai doesn't dare to think about it, and he doesn't dare to think about it, there is only one thing in his mind: think of all ways and make every effort to protect OTD.

When they set up their positions and suppressed the fire with foam cannons and water cannons, the president of the Dalian Port Authority rushed into the general headquarters and excitedly reported to the provincial leaders: "The Yingkou detachment has been stationed in the OTD position!" ”
