Chapter 107: Commander of Operations
Otto didn't expect Gu Ji to be so careful in the investigation of the incident.
Few officers would have read the technical manuals of a company's factories as a result of a raid or bombing.
The fire chief was a tall man in his forties.
After listening to Gu Ji's analysis, he turned his head to look at the deputy mayor and several leaders, "Sir, if everything is really as this sergeant said, this accident and disaster may not be so easy to control, we need to know the gas inventory of the chlorine plant in detail, in case it ......"
"What if?"
Otto immediately asked rhetorically.
Gu Ji spoke out on behalf of the fire chief.
"If the gas stock is too large and the accident cannot be controlled, the poisonous gas will spread to the entire city and even radiate to the surrounding areas, which will cause a terrifying regional disaster!"
Regional ......
Hearing these three words, Otto was shocked, and the two inspectors general beside him broke out in a cold sweat, and even their breathing became short.
If that were the case, they would not only face the punishment of the SS, but the entire family would become the sinners of Hans's history, spurned by others.
Otto said solemnly and nervously:
"What about the person in charge of the production site? Where is it now? ”
"I arranged for someone to look for it, but there is still no news......"
Just as Gu Ji was answering questions, several workers and security guards were running towards the door in a panic in the factory park not far away.
He vaguely remembered that several people seemed to be following Lehr, the workers who were responsible for cutting off the power and gas in the factory, so he stopped one of them.
"What about the Lehr people? Did you find Goering, why did the gas suddenly erupt? ”
"Ahem...... Go, Manager Goering is not in the base! ”
The worker trembled, coughed with his mouth half open, his voice was extremely hoarse, it sounded like a knife splitting his chest, "We don't know the specific cause of the leak, it may be that the high temperature caused the pressure of the gas pipeline to rise and expand, in order to prevent further gas leakage, Chief Lehr let us escape first and turn on the sprinkler equipment ourselves......"
"What!?"
Gu Ji's eyes flickered.
In such a serious production accident, Goering, who was the head of the production base, was not even on the scene.
"Deputy mayor, please immediately arrange for the surrounding people to retreat to a kilometer away, the poison gas will soon sink to the ground, and organize the police and medical system to do a good job in maintaining the order and safety of the city, a large-scale poison gas leak will soon cause panic in the whole city;"
"Second, find Goering as soon as possible, get the data on the gas stock of the chlorine plant, as well as the layout and structure of the factory, the number of workers on duty that day, find out the accident danger level, the number of trapped people, concentrate all the hospitals in the town, vacate the beds, and prepare to treat the accident injured;"
"Third, contact the anti-chemical brigade and the fire brigade to carry out large-scale washing and sanitizing on the ground, control the spread of poisonous gases, contact the transport aircraft of the National Defense Air Force to prepare aerial sprinkler support, and send chemical reconnaissance teams to check the content of chlorine and hydrogen chloride in the air in the safety zone every five minutes."
Leave these three sentences behind.
Otto and the commander of the defense garrison had a look of surprise in their eyes.
One of them is one of the top heads of government in towns with hundreds of thousands of people, and the other is the supreme commander of the 1,000-man troops, so they naturally know the steps and methods for handling large-scale crisis incidents.
But like Gu Ji, under the tense rhythm of continuously saving people, solving stampedes, and responding to government inquiries, there are too few people who can still think calmly and quickly make defensive treatment plans.
However, this set of plans is clearly organized and has clear behaviors: "prevention and control, confirmation, and resolution" in three steps, and even takes into account the secondary crime crisis that may be triggered when the incident occurs.
From the detailed command of the front line, to the overall macro situation scheduling and control.
It doesn't look like a sergeant can do it at all.
On the contrary, it is the experience and determination that only a commander who has experienced a hundred battles and has experienced several battles of more than 1,000 people can have.
Gu Ji turned around and borrowed a gas mask from the fire brigade, "The fire brigade has a few experienced people, follow me into the factory to save people!" ”
Unexpectedly, Luka also dragged Eugen over at this time.
"Herman, we're going with you to save Lehr!"
"Chlorine is already settling, it's too dangerous in the factory, you ......"
"We are a squad, as the captain, I can't give up every team member, we are retired from the battlefield together, it is better than these firefighters to cooperate."
Luca insisted on acting together.
Looking at the other party's resolute eyes, Gu Ji didn't shirk anymore, and asked the medical staff to take out a lot of medical sheets from the logistics materials.
"Everyone soak all the sheets around the body, especially the head, to make sure to cover the head, cheeks, neck and other positions, chlorine, hydrogen chloride and sulfuric acid are strong corrosive substances, and soluble in water, so you must repeatedly make sure that your skin is not exposed."
Gu Ji said as he tried his own way and wrapped his turban around his entire head like a Middle Eastern Arab.
The firefighters looked at the sheets in their hands, looked at me, and I looked at you, not knowing what to do for a while.
Otto looked at Gu Gu a few times, his face changed several times, and finally made up his mind, and said:
"Now, I appoint Sergeant Herman as the commander-in-chief of the field operation, and the fire and police obey all orders!"
"The Gendarmerie Regiment of the Wehrmath in Ludwigshafen is also under the command of Second Lieutenant Luca and Sergeant Herman."
The commander of the Defense Guard Corps on the side also spoke.
Ooh!
周围的消防、军警等三方所有人员全部一片哗然,这才短短不到十分钟照面,政府、军队高层就将一半指挥权交给了一名上士,简直令人称奇。
But when they saw the Iron Cross on the necklines of Luca and Gu Ji, they chose to obey without hesitation.
"Yes!!"
Listen to the thunderous response.
Gu Ji was "fully armed" and borrowed a military lamp from the police, as well as a mechanical watch.
"All firefighters will listen to my instructions when the time comes, see the position of my lights, and be sure not to walk around, otherwise under the high concentration of chlorine, the vision will be seriously obscured, and it will be easy to lose direction!"
Eventually, beckoning shouted:
"Action!"
At the sound of an order, a rescue team composed of three soldiers and seven firefighters quickly rushed into the factory.
At this time, the explosion cloud in the sky has gradually changed from the initial yellow-black to a heavy yellow-green under the mixture of high concentration of chlorine gas, and the gas has also dropped from the initial height of 100 meters to a height of only 20 meters above the ground.
It was as if the soles of the giant's feet were hanging over his head, stepping on them little by little.
Theoretically, according to the hazardous chemical disposal method.
There is no good means of self-help when people face chlorine attacks, and ordinary people generally rarely come into direct contact with it, except for mixing 84 disinfectant with toilet cleaner to produce slight chlorine poisoning, you can cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel and quickly stay away from the scene.
The vast majority of the remaining chlorine leaks are due to plant accidents.
The only effective way to protect against this crisis is gas masks and suits.
However, in the middle of World War II, there were no breathing gas masks and professional airtight multi-layer high-performance chemical protective suits, so he could only adopt this kind of soil method, using the dissolved properties of these chemical gases in water, to temporarily produce an isolation layer that barely replaced the effect of protective clothing.
As the team continues to deepen.
Everyone was getting closer and closer to the leak point, and the surrounding chlorine gas was significantly lower, gradually submerging everyone.
It felt like being in a thick fog, except that the fog was yellow-green, a color that itself resembled the wizard's evil potion from a magic movie, not to mention the horrific damage it had done on the battlefield.
When you are surrounded by toxic gases, as long as you drill through the gaps in your clothing, it will corrode the skin, and even through the nasal mucosa, oral mucosa, etc., causing suffocation or blinding, how can you not be nervous and afraid.
Especially the deeper you go, the higher the concentration of poison gases.
In addition, the lenses of the gas masks are also yellow, and the team members can only see the distance of one or two meters in front of them, and then look at the distance, it is a dusk.
"Whoa...... Whew......"
Gu Ji could clearly hear the urgent breathing sound coming from beside him, and turned his head to see that it was Eugen.
It's not just him.
Some of the younger firefighters were also shivering and breathing rapidly, as if they were going to pump at any moment.
For them, this kind of "death gas" that can be seen but cannot be touched is sometimes more terrifying than the enemy's artillery fire and bullets on the battlefield.
"Eugen, hold your breath! The activated carbon in the exhalation mask has a lifespan, and the more you breathe, the more gas you inhale, so don't be nervous, pay attention to the light source in my hand! ”
In order to stabilize everyone's mentality, Gu Ji hurriedly turned on the military flashlight.
The Hans military flashlight is a square box that looks somewhat like a radio, with a light bulb in the upper part of the front.
However, because it is not a professional fog lamp, the penetration effect of the light source in the chlorine fog cannot be compared with that of modern car fog lamps.
Fortunately, Gu Ji had long been accustomed to the use of light sources in a dim environment in the underground building and the actual battle of capturing Shao Liang.
He uses frequented flickering to increase the attractiveness of the light source.
In this way, Gu Ji relied on the central nervous system attribute of up to 17.1, and according to the factory road building map that he had written down before, he finally arrived at the chlorination plant near the big chimney he saw at that time.
He lifted his wrist and glanced at the hands of the steel watch.
Unexpectedly, only five minutes have passed, and the surface of the steel bracelet has been corroded by a high concentration of gases in the air, and has begun to glow with green spots.
"We only have 15 minutes to find someone, don't break up the line, every five minutes, I'll call out the roll call, everyone has to report where they are, and once you think my voice is small, call out loud."
In the period of lack of tactical headsets and walkie-talkies, Gu had no choice but to use this stupid method to avoid the players getting separated.
Unexpectedly.
As soon as he rushed into the factory, he found a figure chasing after the light source of the military flashlight in his hand.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
He coughed violently, crawled and fell to the ground, grabbed Gu Ji's calf, "Help, help......"
"Get a gas mask right away!"
Gu Ji called for the firefighters to help, "How many people are there in the factory, where is the chlorine leak, do you know where Lehr is located, an officer in military uniform?" ”
Because of the urgency of time, he asked three questions in a row.
The workers' hands and face were flushed, especially the corners of the eyes and other places were stimulated by the poisonous gas to swell, and the whites of the eyes were completely filled with red blood, moving slightly, and even blood seeping out.
"I, I don't know, there are probably a dozen of them, the officer seems to have run into the underground storage room of the factory to turn off the gas tank......"
"Come to someone, go back the same way, immediately send him to a non-toxic gas, well-ventilated location, let the medical staff give first aid, pour a lot of water to flush the affected area, quickly!"
Gu Ji arranged for a firefighter to take the injured away, and then continued to lead the team.
As soon as he entered the factory, he turned to look at the various signs hanging on the wall, except for the safety production slogan and the Hans labor slogan, the most important thing for him was the safe escape map.
Since 1940, the management of enterprise safety production has begun to be valued by all countries, and this important map should be placed at the entrance and exit of the main personnel as well as the structure of the fire building, so as to be visited.
But unfortunately, he didn't see the escape map on the wall.
He had no choice but to shout, using sound and light to attract the injured and remind them to stand up as much as possible, because chlorine is denser than air, and the lower the position, the higher the concentration of chlorine.
Then soak your mouth and nose with clothes or rags, and if you can't do it, soak them with urine.
Although the urine has some taste, the midstream urine is clean and sterile, and it contains urea and alkaline substances that can neutralize chlorine gas, and the blocking effect of chlorine gas is even stronger than that of pure water.
Under his continuous shouting, several workers really relied on his method of transmission and called for help.
After rescuing three workers in succession.
Gu Ji finally found the innermost location leading to the basement, because the stairs are often distributed on both sides of the building in consideration of the area utilization.
He walked down the stairs and just crossed the corner.
I heard a violent cough.
"Lehr?"
"Ahem......"
The black shadow didn't answer him, just kept covering his mouth and nose, and finally waited for the two to get closer, he said hoarsely: "Hey, man, I didn't find Goering, I'm sorry, the gas leaked, but I asked the location of the storage tank, urgently turned the steering wheel to close the pipe, I don't know if it's useful, there are still a dozen workers in the factory, cough cough ......"
"Stop talking just yet, keep breathing steadily!"
Gu Ji didn't expect Leer to be so desperate, so he hurriedly picked up the gas mask and put it on him, carried him on his back, and glanced at his watch, "Prepare to retreat!" ”
He shouted, and the crowd was on the verge of amnesty.
Hurriedly followed the light source in his hand and rushed out of the factory.
Because they had the memory of the route they had come, they returned faster, but the chlorine gas was falling much faster than they had imagined.
The team ran wildly, but never ran out of the range of the chlorine mist, until they saw the cement fence and the park gate in front of them, and everyone realized that this place had been flooded with chlorine gas.
"God, the poison gas has completely consumed the factory!"
"We can't get out, right?"
"Ahem, I already feel a burning sensation in my throat!"
My classmate's family relatives died, let me go to his house to take care of the ditch for three days, I didn't expect this dog to be particularly cheap, I barked as soon as I wrote a book, it affected the state, I only came back today, and I will resume normal updates tomorrow!
