171. Rescue
What puzzled Yang Tianlong was not that he didn't know the terrain there, but that the ferocious flood.
If it rushes forward, the assault boat is very likely to capsize in the water, but if it does not go, the lives of more than a dozen living compatriots may be swallowed up by the flood at any time.
is still the same sentence, those who have no worries about food and clothing in China will never go to Africa to eat, except for Xiong Zihao's innate fearlessness.
Chen Liyan looked at Yang Tianlong and pointed out with a serious face, "I heard that the terrain there is very dangerous, and there are rocks and iron frames under the water. ”
"That's right, so you have to be careful, otherwise, the consequences will ......" Yang Tianlong paused here, and he didn't continue.
Chen Liyan couldn't help but nodded, and then the two fell into a terrible silence again.
After being silent for a while, Chen Liyan suddenly turned his head to look at him and said, "Tianlong, you go back first, I'm going to the scene now." ”
"The scene?" Yang Tianlong hurriedly said, "Brother Chen, can I go to the scene with you." ”
"Let's go to the scene together?" Chen Liyan couldn't help but be stunned, and then he said slowly: "Tianlong, it's very dangerous there. ”
"I'm not afraid of danger, I just want to see the scene. After speaking, Yang Tianlong smiled embarrassedly.
After Chen Liyan thought about it, he responded in one bite.
The warrior car was behind, the pickup truck was in front, and the two quickly drove to the place of the incident, because Chen Liyan was not familiar with there, so thanks to Yang Tianlong, a navigation expert, along the way, under his guidance, Chen Liyan bypassed a lot of routes that could not be traveled, chose the safest road section, and finally arrived at the place of the incident after an hour.
It was a pity that there was not a single officer and soldier of the peacekeeping force there at the place of the incident, Chen Liyan looked surprised, and after being surprised, he got the news that the transport truck loaded with the assault boat was stuck in the muddy ground, and that was originally the direction they were going to pass.
They were greeted by only two Huaxia skilled workers who were present at the scene of the incident, pointing to the isolated island less than 20 meters, and the skilled workers told them that the five compatriots were besieged on the isolated island.
It turned out to be a dry riverbed, and the selfless work of the skilled workers on the riverbed made them forget the time, and when they were about to withdraw after surveying, they found that they were trapped on an island the size of a basketball court.
There were more than a dozen trees growing on the lonely island, and because of the rising river, they had to stand under the trees one by one, so from Yang Tianlong's perspective, they could only vaguely see one or two figures.
As for shouting at them, it didn't work at all, and the voice was completely swallowed up in the air by the sound of the waves.
"They have been besieged for a day and a night, and if they don't think of a way, they probably won't be able to stand it. A technician who was a little older said with an anxious face, "We are worried that even if the flood does not rise, with the current amount of water, it will make them cold and hungry." ”
"The river doesn't rise?" Yang Tianlong seemed to find inspiration from here at once, he felt that this was a good way, if the river did not rise, he had a way to let those five compatriots resist cold and hunger on the isolated island.
"Brother Chen, I'll check the water potential upstream, if the water doesn't rise, we can give them airdrop supplies. ”
"Airdrop supplies?" As soon as they heard this, the first thing that came to everyone's mind was the helicopter, if it was in the country, it would not be a matter of minutes to transfer a helicopter, but it was different at the moment, this is in the Congo, the number of helicopters in this country is only a handful, and the use of a helicopter will consume a lot of war reserve resources.
"Helicopters are hard to find. "There are two Mi troops in the United Nations peacekeeping force, and due to historical reasons, the relationship between China and the United States does not seem to be so harmonious, and it is undoubtedly difficult to borrow a helicopter from them.
"I have a way, you don't have to think of a way to do this. After saying this, in Chen Liyan's surprised look, Yang Tianlong quickly opened the electronic map and searched upstream along the river.
In fact, the reason for measuring the water potential is very simple, that is, to compare the water level difference through the time difference.
With this high-tech electronic map, it is not difficult to measure whether the water level is rising or falling, and in less than three minutes, Yang Tianlong has the answer in his heart.
"The water level has dropped by 3 centimeters. I saw Yang Tianlong say excitedly.
"3 centimeters down?" Chen Liyan and the others couldn't help but be taken aback, thinking that this guy had measured it without evidence?
"Now the sun is already shining upstream, but we are shrouded in white clouds here, and we can't see the sun, but in half an hour, there will be a southeast wind that will blow away this cloud, and then we will have a sunny day here......" In the consternation of everyone, Yang Tianlong said a lot.
"Then what should we do next?" Chen Liyan still asked his own question.
"Now it's time to witness the miracle. After speaking, Yang Tianlong walked towards the pickup truck, and while Chen Liyan and the others were still watching in place, he quickly took out the fierce carving and the materials needed by the workers.
The supplies included tents, camouflage uniforms, sleeping bags, food and drink supplies and, of course, a walkie-talkie.
When they saw these things, Chen Liyan and the other two workers couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, they didn't expect this thing to be so well prepared.
What Chen Liyan didn't expect was that there was still a carving in the pickup truck.
Yang Tianlong touched the head of the fierce eagle embarrassedly, "African fierce eagle, I domesticated, this guy has the strength, and he can easily carry these things into the air." ”
Yang Tianlong said as he tied the things that were ready to be airdropped, and soon, the airdropped things were tied by him with two big bags, and the left and right claws of the fierce carving were hung one each.
With a whistle, the fierce eagle suddenly fluttered its huge wings and soared into the air, and the huge tension made Chen Liyan and them all feel the gust of wind coming.
The eagle seemed to be very spiritual, and it fluttered in place for a while, and after making sure that the bag was firmly tied, it flapped its wings and flew over the island with one acceleration.
I saw that the fierce eagle loosened slightly, and the two bags of items tied to its claws fell from a height of more than five meters.
At first, the besieged Huaxia skilled workers were still a little panicked, after all, the size of this eagle was too big, and they didn't hear much about the story of the eagle when they came to Africa, but when they saw that the eagle was just here to drop items, they seemed to understand something.
Soon, they untied the airdrop bag, and when they saw the contents of the box, they couldn't help but look surprised.
"We have received something, please rest assured. The voice on the island came over the intercom.
As soon as he heard this voice, Chen Liyan and the other two workers looked surprised.
"Quick, tell them the news of the flood receding. ”
Yang Tianlong nodded, and passed the current situation and comforting words through the walkie-talkie.
Sure enough, as expected, after waiting in place for more than two hours, sure enough, the flood water had already fallen by more than ten centimeters, and the thick cloud had been blown away by the wind in the air, revealing rare sunlight.
"Brothers, hold on, there is no rain upstream, and when the water is under control, we will rescue you immediately. When looking at the transport truck driving out of the muddy ground, Chen Liyan said decisively.
