Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Flowers of Youth in the Black Oil and Red Flames
Jing Gang is the leader of the Xincheng District Squadron of the Tieling City Public Security Fire Detachment, 28 years old. Pan Xiaobin is the leader of the Kaiyuan City Squadron, 29 years old. Ning Ning is the deputy squadron leader of the Tieling County Squadron, 25 years old.
When they talked about the 7.16 firefighting battle, they didn't mention their heroic achievements, but only talked about a few small things and a few touching fire tidbits.
Pan Xiaobin was a soldier in Dalian, and what impressed him the most was that he saw many comrades-in-arms at the fire scene. He said: "When I arrived at the fire, I saw many familiar comrades-in-arms lying on the lawn stained with black oil, their faces dark, their teeth white, and their lips all dry and skinny. I was in a squadron with Monbut, he loved musical instruments, and I loved playing basketball. I asked Monbut, how are you? Meng But had tears in his eyes, and said that I am very happy to see you alive, I entered the No. 103 tank and saw Liu Wenrui, who was a soldier in the neighboring village, and we were both stunned at the same time, and happy at the same time, and almost hugged each other. I have a foam gun in my hand, or I would have hugged it sooner. They have been working in Dalian for more than 10 years. Housing prices in Dalian are so expensive, can non-commissioned officers afford a house? What to do in the future? ”
"Li Zheng is the foam car driver of our squadron, a third-term non-commissioned officer, who was discharged from the army at the end of the year. On the way to Dalian, Li Zheng drove the tail car. He suddenly wanted to pee halfway through, but he couldn't stop. Just grab a bottle of mineral water for convenience. The more anxious people are, the more they want to pee, and along the way, Li requisitioned several mineral water bottles, and the car never stopped. ”
"In the No. 103 can, as soon as we turned around, we could see the detachment leader Wang Chunlei, who was standing on a high place to cheer us up. There are fires everywhere in the tank, and the floating roof under the feet can't tell if it can explode, and the smoke is choking, and Wang Chunlei, a cadre of the regiment, has entered the tank with you, and we have no complaints in our hearts. ”
Jing Gang held two photos in his hand. The first photo was taken of him taking off his boots at the fire, his feet were frighteningly swollen and completely white. The white of the feet was blistered with oil and foam, and it turned out to be all blood blisters. The second photo shows the people of Dalian seeing them off with tears.
Ning Ning said: "When I arrived in Dalian before the fire, what impressed me the most was the eyes of the traffic police on the side of the road and the eyes of the people. That kind of look is very special, both reverent and tasteful. They stare at you like they'll never see you again, it's so tragic. There was a commotion in our car, but looking at the people outside the car, it was quiet all of a sudden. Ordinary people wave at you, and some people wipe their tears with their hands. We're clearly going to the front to die. I wanted to cry, but I kept it under control. Looking back at the fighters, they all cried. ”
"The comrade-in-arms I saw at the fire scene was Cao Zhiyong, deputy squadron leader of the Ganjingzi District Fire Squadron in Dalian City, who was sitting against a tree with a water gun, looking weak and weak. When I talked to him, he tried hard several times but couldn't speak, just like a dying person, and I felt very uncomfortable after watching it. Afterwards, I knew that Cao Zhiyong and the others did not move an inch, and confronted the fire demon for a day and a night, I really don't know how they survived. ”
"My object is Li Xuejiao, a staff officer of the Jinzhou City Public Security Fire Detachment. She knew that there was a fire in Dalian and called me to ask if I was going. I was sitting in the car in Dalian, and I said I didn't go. She asked what was going on with the buzz around her, and I said I was inspecting the car. After saying that, I turned off the phone, and it didn't turn on for 5 days and 4 nights. Later, she called our squadron, and the squadron said that I had gone to Dalian. After the battle, I turned on the phone and looked at the little secretary, a total of 54 missed calls, all of which were made by her. I called, and she cried when she answered, unable to speak, so she had to hang up. When she called, she was also crying, and she couldn't say anything if she wanted to speak, so she let the crying take over. It took us hours to talk on the phone before the subject stopped crying. ”
Jing Gang, Pan Xiaobin, and Ning Ning did not talk about their meritorious deeds. Here is a brief transcription of the meritorious deeds of the three of them reported to the corps by the Tieling City Public Security Fire Detachment as follows:
After receiving the dispatch order of the detachment, he immediately transferred two vehicles of the detachment and led seven officers and soldiers participating in the battle to rush to the reinforcement fire site. The second is heroic and tenacious. After arriving at the scene, he led five officers and soldiers to use a foam gun to cool down and extinguish the fire from the No. 3 (No. 103) oil tank on the northeast side. When the fire in the tank of No. 3 (No. 103) was attacked, it was responsible for covering the Dalian detachment to lay remote water supply lines and cooling tasks. Hold the position for 50 hours, supervise and extinguish the fire of the oil pipeline near the No. 3 (No. 103) tank farm. Signature of the detachment leader".
"Comrade Pan Xiaobin's brief deeds: First, act quickly. After receiving the dispatch order of the detachment, he immediately transferred one vehicle to the detachment and led six officers and soldiers to rush to the reinforcement of the fire. As the main member of the attack team, he successively led four officers and soldiers to send out one water gun and one foam gun to extinguish the fire of the oil pipeline on the northeast side of the No. 3 (No. 103) tank. He disregarded his personal safety three times, went deep into the No. 3 (No. 103) oil tank on the northeast side of the burning and collapsed, and fired a foam cannon to cool down and extinguish the fire, and held his position for 50 hours. Supervise and extinguish the fire of the oil pipeline near the No. 3 (No. 103) tank farm. Signed by the detachment leader. ”
"Comrade Ning Ning's brief deeds: First, he was witty and brave. Arriving at the scene, he quickly used a ladder to lay a hose near the pipeline on the south side of the bridge, and used a foam gun to extinguish the flowing fire of the oil pipeline on the northeast side. The second is heroic and tenacious. As one of the members of the attack team, he dared to risk his life and led two combatants to send out a water cannon and a water cannon to go deep into the burning oil tank to cool the No. 3 (No. 103) oil tank that was on fire for up to 40 hours. He took out a foam gun and spent three hours fighting the fire in the oil pipeline under the bridge. Led 2 fighters for 5 hours to extinguish the fire in the oil pipeline near tank farm No. 3 (No. 103). Signed by the detachment leader. ”
The Kumon material above is concise and stilted, but powerful. From these seemingly repetitive words, the three young squadron commanders were the backbone of the fire, and although they did not want to say themselves, the flowers of their youth emitted a brighter brilliance between the black oil and the red flames, and bloomed thrillingly.
