After the earthquake, the Xingcheng Public Security Fire Brigade immediately activated the earthquake cross-regional emergency rescue plan, and immediately mobilized all 9 nearby detachments to enter the disaster area to carry out rescue.

The special service squadron led by Luo Yongxu and Lu Qian is the first batch of fire rescue teams to go to the disaster area, and it is also the closest fire brigade to the disaster area so far. 7 vehicles, 55 officers and men. Everyone's expression was extremely serious at this time.

On the command car, Luo Yongxu had just received a notice from the corps that the disaster situation was an order, and he must go to the disaster area for rescue at all costs.

"Team Luo, Director Lu, there is a landslide in the road ahead, and all the roads are blocked." Chen Qi, the leader of the first squad, ran over from the front and reported with a frown.

Lu Qian pulled the car door and got out of the car, holding a flashlight and walking forward. With the help of the faint light, I could see the road in front clearly. Because of the landslide, the road has been completely damaged, and countless stones are blocking the middle of the road, and even if you move the stones, the car will not be able to drive in.

Lu Qian exchanged a look with Luo Yongxu, who rushed over, and made a decision at the moment, she said to Chen Qi in a firm tone: "Organize the troops, give up the vehicle, and continue to advance to Debei County, even if you climb, you will climb over for me!" ”

Luo Yongxu nodded: "Squad Leader Chen, you notify me to let the third squad leader lead some people to take care of the vehicle equipment, and the rest of the people bring demolition tools, fire extinguishers, detectors, in short, everything that can be used for rescue is brought." Let's get started and hike now! ”

Chen Qi quickly informed.

Jiang Eryi got the order and brought the second shift to assemble. He and Lu Qian glanced at each other, nodded silently, and there was strong emotion in his eyes. He was the first to climb up the stone mill, and then stretched out his hand to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian glanced at him, did not hand him his hand, but ordered: "You take the team to explore the road first." ”

The military order was like a mountain, Jiang Eryi gritted his teeth, and could only hold a flashlight and bring a stone organization team to take the lead in the front.

The earthquake was accompanied by violent storms. After walking for a few hours, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky. Immediately, the canopy of heaven seemed to have been split open, and the pouring rain was like a Milky Way. The warriors put on black raincoats and groped their way through the darkness.

Soon, Jiang Eryi, who went to the front to explore the way, came back with a small team.

"It is reported that the road ahead has been washed away by heavy rain, and the terrain is unfavorable, so I can't see the road clearly."

Luo Yongxu looked down at the time, the soldiers had not entered a drop of water from the time they set off to the present, so they said to Lu Qian: "Inform everyone to rest in place for fifteen minutes, and hurry up to eat some dry food before continuing to set off." Let Chen Qi reorganize the team to explore the way ahead. ”

Lu Qian ordered to go down, found a relatively safe and open terrain and organized the soldiers to sit down.

Jiang Eryi handed the only remaining compressed biscuit to Lu Qian: "Eat more." ”

Lu Qian gave him a retreat, and whispered with a cold face: "When you arrive in the disaster area, you have to save people, and you have to protect yourself, don't focus on me." Do you understand? ”

Jiang Eryi smiled, revealing a neat mouthful of big white teeth: "That's not good, you are my bottom line." ”

"Jiang Eryi, I'll send you back now, believe it or not!" Lu Qian grabbed Jiang Eryi's collar.

Jiang Eryi immediately nodded obediently: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the motherland, my mission, and the cultivation of the leadership!" ”

Lu Qian still wanted to scold him, but Jiang Eryi looked at the big goose in the distance and whispered: "I remember that the big goose's hometown is near Debei County, right?" ”

The goose was sitting cross-legged on the wet ground in the distance, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. It was so dark that he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on his face.

The goose's original name was Zhang Hetai, because he usually made honest friends like a goose, so the soldiers called him the goose.

Jiang Eryi, Chen Qi, Big Goose and Shi Shi were all recruits brought out by Lu Qian, so Lu Qian knew the family situation of several of them best.

The goose's family is very poor, his father died of illness in his early years, and his mother raised him with hard work, and sent him to be a soldier in order to get ahead. Now Debei County has almost completely cut off contact with the outside world, no one knows the specific situation of the county, and the only relative of the goose is still in Debei County, and his mood is self-evident.

The goose clutched a worn-out envelope in his hand. I couldn't tell if the letter was yellow or white, and even the corners were worn out. The envelope was wet from the rainstorm, but he clutched it tightly, as if grasping at the last straw.

It was a suicide note written by him, and he would put it in his combat uniform before he went out on a mission. Writing a suicide note, which seems to ordinary people to be a bit unlucky, is an unwritten rule in the fire brigade. Every soldier has written several suicide notes to a greater or lesser extent, and he is afraid that he will never come back after leaving the mission one day. And before this departure, the captain asked everyone to write a suicide note. Lu Qian also wrote......

Jiang Eryi said: "I saw Qiao Shen's name written in your suicide note. ”

Lu Qian: "...... Do you have a reason to peek at you? ”

"I heard from Lao Wang that he made an appointment with you today." Jiang Eryi asked, "Did he confess to you?" ”

Jiang Eryi is actually very calm, even if he likes this kind of thing, he can hold it for so many years, but today he asked so impulsively.

He asked Lu Qian: "Did you promise him?" ”

Lu Qian shook his head: "Not yet, if you can go back, you will agree." ”

It sounds unlucky, but the soldiers know what it means to go out every time.

Jiang Eryi's heart was colder than the rain on his face. Feelings are more difficult than math problems! The odds of two falling in love are as small as a speck of dust in the air.

Lu Qian sighed: "I regret that I didn't reject him today." ”

If only people didn't care......

Lu Qian patted his knees, walked to the goose and squatted down.

The big goose saw that the person squatting next to him was Lu Qian, and his voice choked: "Team Lu ......"

Lu Qian's heart was mixed, but he had to yell at him in a hard voice: "What are you crying about!" Now no one knows the situation in the county, cheer me up! ”

The goose snorted: "Lu team, this is the seventh letter I have written to my mother, I told him that my son will be out in the future, so I will drive back to pick her up and buy her a big house." This letter will never be sent......"

Lu Qian's heart was uncomfortable, as if someone had been burned with a soldering iron. Someone next to him whispered to him: "The part of the road we just passed through is the small village where the mother goose lives, and the flash flood has collapsed, and the whole village has been washed away." ”

The goose clutched the envelope and sobbed silently. The finger poked a hole in the envelope, and the soldiers' hearts ached......

It seems that it was only at this moment that the warriors realized that this was a real natural and man-made disaster, and that everyone seemed so insignificant in front of nature.

Another wave of aftershocks shook the earth.

Chen Qi came back with the reconnaissance team, and Luo Yongxu patted the goose on the shoulder: "All soldiers, keep moving!" ”

Lu Qian scooped the goose up from the ground: "We are your relatives, and all the people in the disaster area are your relatives." They are all waiting for our rescue, and they can't collapse! Big goose, can't collapse! ”

After regaining morale, everyone continued on foot, and by the time everyone arrived in Debei County, it was already dawn.

Jiang Eryi walked in front with the five-star red flag and was the first to see the hard-hit areas. All the houses collapsed, and only the ruins remained. The steel bars in the cement body have been washed by the heavy rain, and they are still dripping with water droplets.

The survivors stood in the open ruins, covered in dirt and black-brown blood, blending in with the gray background, with no trace of joy on their faces. There are also people in groups of three or five, kneeling in the ruins and digging desperately.

They are alive, but they are like the walking dead.

Until I saw a bright red flag suddenly appear, someone in the crowd shouted: "The People's Liberation Army is coming!" The rescue team is coming! Firefighting...... It's a fire brigade!! ”

A sudden shout rang out in the empty ruins. Everyone turned to look at the orange team. A woman in her thirties was the first to react, rushed over and grabbed Lu Qian's hand and knelt down: "Comrade, save my daughter, I beg you to save my daughter......"

Shi quickly came over to support the family, Lu Qian choked up and calmed down: "Save people!" ”

Luo Yongxu learned from residents that this place was originally a middle school, and when the accident occurred, the children were still studying at night. The part that escaped had already been taken away by the teacher, and the rest was crushed inside. They were the first rescue team to reach the school, and before that, parents had been organizing and fighting all night.

Lu Qian snatched the communication machine in Luo Yongxu's hand and immediately reported the situation to the team, and the scene was much more serious than the news report. They brought so few people......

Luo Yongxu ordered: "Take people to a nearby hospital and grab as many relief materials as possible." The fourth shift took people to nearby institutions and residential buildings, and tried to contact local authorities as much as possible. Lu Qian, evacuate the masses!! ”

All the voices around condensed a belief - save people!

The fighters kept digging people out of the rubble, all of them were young faces, all of them were the hope for the future of the motherland. The desire to rescue had overcome hunger and cold, and it took two hours of continuous rescue before other rescue teams arrived. It was also at this time that Lu Qian learned that the most severely affected school was not the school with heavy casualties, and the earthquake was far more than 7.6 magnitude.

Because of the complicated weather in the location of the school, the planes of the air force could not meet the landing conditions, so they could only hover in the sky, and finally the soldiers parachuted down to reinforce after the command of the headquarters.

The geographical location of Debei County is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. Earthquakes are accompanied by mudslides and landslides, as well as flash floods. Each of them adds to the difficulty of the rescue. Rescuers couldn't get in, and all the relief supplies couldn't get in.

Because of the seriousness of the disaster, on the night of the earthquake, Lu Qiangang led the troops to leave, and the 10,000 soldiers of a mechanized infantry division of the Capital Military Region who participated in the disaster relief had already received orders to go immediately, but due to the destruction of the runway of the Debei County Airport, the plane could not land directly in Debei County, so it could only fly to Xingcheng first. In order to make up for the air force capacity, the General Staff coordinated with the civil aviation department and mobilized civil aviation aircraft to transport disaster relief troops.

That night, Qiao Shen was ordered to organize a fleet to fly to other cities to meet the disaster relief forces.

At twelve o'clock at noon the next day, Qiao Shen and the crew finally took more than 10,000 rescue soldiers to Star City.

By this time, many reporters had already entered the local disaster area, and there were endless reports on television. Shao Ran went to the airport to pick up Qiao Shen while swiping the news.

Qiao Shen was standing in the office of the second branch of AVIC. Today, Lin Shifeng's wine woke up, remembering last night's experience and the illusion of picking up a life.

"Qiao Shen, it's okay if you want to ask for leave, but you have to think about it carefully, you are asking for leave now to go to the disaster area!" Lin Shifeng said earnestly, "The aftershocks in the disaster area are continuous, and now you ask for orders to participate in the war to go to the disaster area, saying that it sounds good is heroic, and being realistic is stupid!" Even on the battlefield, pilots can't be killed! You have to know how difficult it is for the country to train a good pilot like you! ”

"I only know that I am a pilot, but I am first and foremost a soldier. At present, whether it is military food, disaster relief materials or medical medicines, they are in short supply. Especially for the pilots of transport planes, it is simply too late to be urgently dispatched. Anyway, I have already got in touch with the brigade commander, and I will leave in an hour, and I am not allowed to take a vacation, you say a word! ”

Lin Shifeng was angry, and took a pen holder and threw it at Qiao Shen: "You rabbit cub!" ”

Shao Ran drove the car to the airport and received Qiao Shen, he handed over the cash he had just taken: "What do you want cash for?" ”

Qiao Shen said while calling: "You can't swipe your card in the disaster area. ”

"Oh." Shao Ran nodded, and only reacted violently after two seconds, "You want to go to the disaster area?!" You're crazy, aren't you?! ”
