Chapter 33 Not only dare to die, but also walk steadily in these few steps
The position of the Panjin City Public Security Fire Detachment was at the 10,000-ton oil wharf in the east of the fire. Liu Mingming, squad leader of the 2nd Squadron of the Special Service Brigade, was most impressed by the fact that there were so many oil tanks here, so large, and so criss-crossed pipelines, as if it were a huge oil empire. Liu Mingming couldn't have imagined that there would be a fire here, and no one could tell which oil tank and which pipe was burning, and the entire fire was burning. Liu Mingming could not imagine that such a big fire could be extinguished, the 360-kilometer-long Shenyang-Dalian Expressway was full of fire trucks, and the fire officers and soldiers of the province rushed to the Dalian fire site except for those who stayed behind to watch their homes, and Liu Mingming could not have imagined that such a fire would be extinguished. For several months in a row, Liu Mingming still dreamed of the soaring fire in Dalian, and he wondered, wasn't it extinguished? Is it a resurgence again? I woke up in a daze, and thought that the fire had already been extinguished, and I was very happy. Liu Mingming, like many people, always subconsciously felt that this fire could not be extinguished, but it turned out that it had been successfully extinguished by the officers and soldiers, and he felt from the bottom of his heart the greatness of the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Fire Brigade and the greatness of the Panjin City Public Security Fire Brigade. put the word "great" on the heroes of the 7.16 fire, Liu Mingming felt that it was appropriate and too great.
Liu Mingming was born in 1982 and enlisted in the army in 1997 and is a fourth-term non-commissioned officer. In his mind, the battle of July 16 was very tragic, and all the heroic and tenacious troops could not catch up with the tenacity of the Liaoning Fire Iron Army. Since the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chinese soldiers have never experienced such a tragic battle. Or try it at the fire and fight for four days and five nights. Ordinary troops can withstand it for four or five hours, and at most seven or eight hours. Not only physical fitness has reached the limit, but mental endurance has also reached the limit. Liaoning Fire Iron Army has fought from participating in the battle to winning on all fronts, what kind of team is this? Liu Mingming thought about it, but it was still the same word: great. He felt that the National Museum should collect a flag of the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Fire Brigade, with traces of oil stains and fire, and nine characters written on it: "The Great Liaoning Fire Iron Army".
When they first entered the fire scene, Liu Mingming and squadron leader Cai Donghui took the lead in entering the position and held foam guns to fight the oil pipeline fire. At first, they could see the road in the light of the fire, but then they couldn't see the road clearly, and the smoke—not white smoke, but black smoke like squid spitting out ink in water—enveloped people and roads. Explosions came and went, and oil vapor whistled sharply. The sound of him and Cai Donghui greeting each other could not be heard. At this time, the oil pipeline on the east side burst into flames, and with a "bang", the mushroom cloud held out a fireball, and then a fountain-like pillar of fire, the ignition point was only more than 20 meters away from the two of them. They took a few steps back, then turned back to continue putting out the fire.
Liu Mingming was also impressed by the second deflagration of the position of the Panjin detachment. The sound is so loud that it is not only for the eardrums, but the huge energy of the sound waves shakes all the internal organs, and people cannot stand on the ground. Liu Mingming felt that the sound waves were enough to destroy his lungs, but he still survived.
It rained in the second half of the night, and Liu Mingming came down from the shift and sat on the sand to eat. I can't forget that scene, the black rain hit the clothes like an arrow, and the oil stains on the clothes could not be washed away, adding a new layer of oil stains. The rain fell on the lunch box, and the white rice turned into black rice.
Liu Mingming felt that the most difficult thing was not to face the deflagration, nor to burn the flames, but to fight for a day and a night and just rest, and then received an order to rush to the No. 103 tank. My body was tired and collapsed on the ground like mud, and I stood up and got on the No. 103 can, my steps were really heavy.
When he arrived at the No. 103 tank position, he first cooled the tank wall, and Liu Mingming was selected as a member of the attack team to enter the tank to extinguish the fire. Jar 103 collapsed into a corner, like a monster with a wide open mouth. The monster's mouth and head were still on fire. Whoever said that he was not afraid to put out the fire in the tank, he was lying. Walking into the tank with heavy equipment on your back is going to death, and there is no other explanation. No one knows how much oil is still in the tank and whether it will explode. However, as a firefighter and a gentleman, not only dare to die, but also walk steadily in these few steps, and not make people laugh. Anyway, it was all out of the way at that time. At that time, people didn't think about anything, they didn't think about anything. Passing by the Grim Reaper countless times, people have given up their lives, like a knife, flying left and right, fast.
Entering the tank was like entering a mountain of flames, and Liu Mingming felt that the high temperature could not bear it. The floating roof on the sole of the foot vibrated violently in the explosion, which was very terrifying. When lighting a fire on the collapsed slope, Liu Mingming felt that he was almost blown off by a deflagration several times. I can't remember a lot of things, Liu Mingming remembers that he has never retreated, and has always stuck to the front line. After fighting in the tank for more than 3 hours, Liu Mingming and his comrades finally withdrew. When he came out of the tank, he didn't feel anything else, he was sleepy, too sleepy, and he was extremely happy to be able to sleep for a minute.
