Chapter 302: Pathos for Human Affairs
Ning Shaoming looked at Yu Qingli who spoke out and asked, "Can you find the way?" β
They weren't familiar with the nearby terrain, and the mudslide caused by the landslide had changed the direction of the entire mountain, so they were glad they could remember the direction, let alone take a shortcut.
However, Yu Qingli said confidently: "I flipped through the notebook of Lieutenant Colonel Yue, and he hand-painted the terrain in this area, and now the terrain has changed, but the direction is still about the same." β
He couldn't help but itch his hands for a while, so he took Lieutenant Colonel Yue's notebook and looked at it, but he didn't expect it to play a role at this time.
Ning Shaoming was silent for only two seconds, then nodded and let Yu Qingli lead the way.
The landslide does not know if it will appear for the second time, and the rescue at this time should be a race against time, and it will be a minute to save a minute!
With Yu Qingli's divine stroke, they arrived at the nearest small village one step faster than they imagined.
As expected, most of the village has been buried in the mud, and the howls of old people and children can be heard in the distance.
Ning Shaoming led the team members to speed up their pace and rushed to the village, and sure enough, they saw those who were still alive hugging in twos and threes, some were at a loss, and some were struggling to save people, the pouring rain was slightly lighter than just now, but it still hurt tightly on people.
Ning Shaoming immediately shouted: "Pigeon, go find a safe place, and wait for Lieutenant Colonel Yue and them to come and pick up people!" β
"Yes!" Hu Xiaoge hurriedly ran to the surrounding area.
The sudden appearance of the soldiers gave the villagers a backbone, even if the number of dragon destroyers was pitiful, but as soon as Ning Shaoming walked over, they still gathered spontaneously.
"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, you save my mother-in-law!" A man cried and pounced, "She sent the baby out, and the person is still in the house!" Save her......"
Ning Shaoming hurriedly supported him, "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best!" β
When the man heard this, he said thank you repeatedly, and his crying almost suppressed the sound of the rain.
Ning Shaoming felt very uncomfortable, and gave Yu Qingli a look, Yu Qingli immediately stepped forward to appease these panicked people after the disaster, and then moved the old man and children to a temporarily safe place with Hu Xiaoge, and the rest of those who had the ability to act cooperated with Ning Shaoming and them to save people.
This village is hidden in the mountains, and the scale is naturally not large, and the total number of people in the forest is only about 100 people.
Because they received notifications from TV and mobile phone text messages in advance, many elderly people held the mentality that they would rather believe that they could not be trusted, and took their children and neighbors to stay for one night.
In this way, the number of people who are not buried or buried in the mud is more concentrated, and it is much easier to rescue.
The villagers pointed the way in the dark and rainy night, and the members of the Dragon Destroyer led them to excavate, and at this time, it was more than half an hour before the landslide, and Lieutenant Colonel Yue and his soldiers followed with difficulty.
Ning Shaoming asked him to take people to take away the survivors and the injured who were dug up, the rain was still falling, and it was indeed likely that there would be a danger of a secondary landslide.
Lieutenant Colonel Yue wiped his face full of muddy water, "When will the support troops arrive?" β
"It should take another half an hour," Ning Shaoming said, "I told them to go directly to another village, lieutenant colonel, you can send people out quickly." β
Lieutenant Colonel Yue frowned, "Then what should you do?" You are just a few soldiers, even if you save people, how can you send them out? β
"My support will be there soon," Ning Shao explained succinctly, "The terrain here is too complicated to enter on foot, so you can only use a helicopter!" β
Lieutenant Colonel Yue's eyes widened, "It's raining too hard, helicopter?" They don't want to die?! β
Ning Shaoming shook his head, and was about to speak, when suddenly his ears moved, his tense face was a little relieved, and he directly took out the signal flare and put it up.
The glow of the burning flare brightened Ning Shaoming's face, and he muttered, "They're coming......"
Yu Qingli, who was digging for the rescue, also let out a small cheer.
Lieutenant Colonel Yue was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and then saw that in the dark night sky, in the heavy rain, more than a dozen white flowers bloomed one after another, fluttering down-
Those were support soldiers who were parachuting, and this was the fastest way for them to reach the relief area!
The danger of mountain skydiving is too great, in fact, Ning Shaoming also has a heart hanging in his heart, until all the parachutes disappeared from sight, Ning Shaoming gritted his teeth fiercely, not thinking about whether any team members would die in the process of landing, or be swept away in the mud puddle after the collapse, and forcefully let Lieutenant Colonel Yue and his soldiers send the survivors away.
The soldiers dragged the survivors down the mountain, and the mountain people who were reluctant to leave their buried relatives were also persuaded to leave.
Lieutenant Colonel Yue glanced at Ning Shaoming deeply and saluted him slowly, "See you at the mountain." β
Ning Shaoming also returned the salute to him, and said in a deep voice: "See you at the mountain." β
Not long after Lieutenant Colonel Yue's team left, Liu Xing appeared in front of Ning Shaoming with a few people, and they all quickly ran in the direction of the signal flare after landing.
Liu Xing rushed to Ning Shaoming, and his face still had the wound of being scratched by a tree branch when he landed, "Report, a team of eight team members successfully landed, and applied to participate in the disaster relief operation immediately!" β
Ning Shaoming glanced at them and nodded, "Save people!" β
The newcomers didn't plan to take a break at all in order to relieve the sense of urgency of the high-altitude rappelling, but plunged into the rescue operation without saying a word.
Liu Xing didn't forget to report to Ning Shaoming: "Another group of team members followed the instructor to land at a safe point in the southwest direction, and after landing, all of them reported safety, but it was more troublesome for the instructor to assemble there, and he was going to go around three kilometers away to gather the scattered mountain people nearby, so he didn't rush over so quickly." β
Ning Shaoming breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay if everything is safe." β
In this kind of weather, parachuting rescue is basically to write a will first, and the Dragon Destroying Brigade is a rare team in the army with experience in this area, but it has not tried to descend in rainy weather.
But just ten minutes ago, Liu Xing jumped without blinking, and even faced the crisis of a second landslide after landing.
At this moment, none of them showed signs of flinchingβeven though they were still doing chores during the day.
Among the survivors, only the man who asked Ning Shaoming for help just now refused to leave, he entrusted the child to Lieutenant Colonel Yue's soldiers, and then stayed at his buried home, trying to dig his wife out from under the mudslide.
The man was crying and digging, and the soldiers of the dragon slayer were very uncomfortable.
Their family happened to be on the dividing line of the mudslide, and when the landslide, the family of three ran out, and when they saw that they were about to be flooded, the hostess of the family directly pushed the child out.
By the time the man tried to pull her, the whole house had been flooded by the torrent of earth and rocks, and the man and the child were buried in half of their thighs, and they were about to collapse.
The Dragon Destroying Brigade has participated in several disaster rescues and has rich experience, even if there are not many people and the weather is bad at this time, the progress is still not slow, and the three families were quickly cleared out and the mountain people inside were carried out.
Because the mountain people were buried for a short time, the team members took emergency measures and desperately snatched back a few lives from the hands of death.
The rescuers of the large army will arrive soon, and Ning Shaoming and the others can only put the people in the temporary settlement site first and continue to dig one by one.
"Wang-"
Yu Qingli took out a local dog that was a caretaker, but the local dog was lame, but he refused to leave, barked mournfully, and dragged Yu Qingli to the hole that was dug out.
Yu Qingli shouted puzzledly: "Boss, doesn't this position mean that there is no one?!" β
Ning Shaoming trotted over, "The villagers said that this family is just a child in junior high school, his parents are not at home all the year round, and he should study at night in the county town today." β
Yu Qingli dug up the dog, just because he was digging the house next door, and he dug it when he saw movement.
But the dog was still barking mournfully, and the barking could be heard as a human pleading.
Ning Shaoming struggled for a few seconds.
If you dig down, you may waste time saving the next person, and if you don't dig it, what if you have a case?
"Whoo ......" the bark of the soaked earth dog almost sounded like a cry.
Ning Shaoming clenched the armory shovel in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Dig!" Change positions if you don't see results in five minutes! β
"Yes!" Yu Qingli immediately moved his hand.
Ning Shaoming was also helping by the side, speeding up and trying not to delay time.
The earth dog refused to go, Ning Shaoming simply pulled off his coat and put it in his arms, the small one, which was not in the way.
After digging for a few minutes, Ning Shaoming and Yu Qingli were stunned to see a corner of the hem of the school uniform, which appeared in the cracks between bricks, tiles, mud and stones.
"Woohoo!" The earth dog barked excitedly.
"Quick! There are survivors here! Ning Shaoming shouted, threw the shovel away, and dug along the school uniform with his hands.
Liu Xing, who was closest to him, also rushed over to help, and with the cooperation of the three of them, he quickly picked up a thin child out.
"And gas!" Yu Qingli hurriedly ran to the temporary resettlement site with the child in his arms for manual rescue.
Liu Xing patted the dog's head in Ning Shaoming's arms, "Hey, you dog baby is really amazing!" β
"Well, thank you for its help...... Ning Shaoming sighed, but he has a big brother all year round, and he is not very surprised to know that most domestic dogs are human.
Ning Shaoming sent the earth dog, which was so anxious to move, to its owner, and when he came out again, he heard a commotion on the man's side.
The man's house was already old, and the mudslide collapsed to the ground, and it was quite difficult to dig up, and the two dragon destroyers helped him, and at this time he finally dug to the end, and several team members next to him subconsciously looked over.
It's a pity that as soon as Ning Shaoming approached, he heard the man's scream of collapse, and then there was a continuous cry of pathos.
Ning Shaoming hurriedly fixed his eyes to look, but suddenly lost his voice.
The corpse under the mud and rocks was smashed by the beam of the house and broke its backbone, and I am afraid that it died on the spot during the landslide.
By this time, the rain had become lighter, but the man was holding the corpse and crying, which was more worrying than the black oppressive clouds.
The youngest Hu Xiaoge was infected and let out a whimper, but he didn't dare to cry along, for fear of delaying the rescue work at hand.
Ning Shaoming walked over and tried to help the man up, "This comrade, let's help you take your sister-in-law away, you mourn, your baby is still waiting for you......"
The man didn't hear it, holding the corpse and not letting go, crying and shouting frantically: "I'm sorry for you, Yan'er, I should have pulled you, I'm sorry for you......"
The soldiers of the Dragon Slayer couldn't help but secretly wipe their tears.
Chang Sheng's painting appeared in such a scene, with another group of team members.
