Sun Chenghui remembers very well that the day Liu Cunyi's accident occurred was July 18, 1986. On that day, Tang Ping presided over a meeting of cadres at the level of the eastern mining area at the Hongqi Mine, which was held late. Liu Cunyi came back from the mine at almost ten o'clock, and when he came back, it was raining outside, and Liu Cunyi was drenched. Sun Chenghui was preparing for class under the lamp, and hurriedly walked over to wipe Liu Cunyi's face and body with a towel. Just as he was wiping, he didn't even have time to say a word, when the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Liu Cunyi grabbed the phone casually: "Yes, I'm Liu Cunyi." ”

An anxious voice came to mind on the phone: "Mine Chief Liu, I'm in the dispatch room." Oh no, something happened underground, and the minus 330 transformer suddenly caught fire, because there was no operation point near the substation, and it was discovered late. Now the fire is very big, and the surrounding coal walls are burning, and the situation is quite serious......"

Liu Cunyi was shocked: "Are there any casualties?" How many casualties are there? ”

"No reports have been received yet."

"Did the minus 330 personnel withdraw?"

"Some of them have been withdrawn, mainly the workers in the 10th coal mining area, and the 18 tunnelers at the 3030 excavation head must not have been withdrawn, the phone cannot be contacted, and the ambulance team has gone down."

Liu Cunyi was in danger: "Is it eighteen?" Are there any other workers in the auxiliary sector? Quickly notify the light room to check the light signs, and quickly figure out: how many people are trapped in the fire area? You can't go wrong. Please keep in touch with the mine rescue team, I will go down the mine immediately and meet them at the scene! ”

Putting down the phone, Liu Cunyi grabbed a raincoat and was about to go out.

Sun Chenghui said worriedly: "Cunyi, you ...... You have to be careful......"

Liu Cunyi nodded hurriedly, and suddenly turned back and touched the phone: "Secretary Tang?" Negative 330 is on fire, the situation is very serious, I am about to go down the well, you happen to be here, help me transfer the bureau ambulance team, okay? I'm worried that the fire is out of control and that our mine rescue team is understaffed! ”

Tang Ping said: "Okay, good, Cunyi, with me, you just have to rest assured, we are old partners and old buddies!" ”

Throwing down the phone, Liu Cunyi couldn't care about what to say to Sun Chenghui anymore, turned around and rushed into the heavy rain outside the door.

Sun Chenghui chased into the pouring rain, and shouted at Liu Cunyi's back: "Cunyi, after the accident is handled, no matter what time it is, hang up the phone at home, ah?" ”

Liu Cunyi heard it and turned around in the wind and rain: "Okay, Cheng Hui, you can sleep!" ”

How dare Sun Chenghui sleep? I didn't move my nest after guarding the phone all night, and my heart had already gone down the well with Liu Cunyi.

It was a really tense night, and when Liu Cunyi and his two attendant dispatchers sat on the front of a tram and rattled all the way to the depths of the mine, the carrier phone in their hands kept ringing.

"Mine Chief Liu, Mine Chief Liu, did you hear that?"

"Hear me, tell me!"

"Mine Manager Liu, the personnel situation has been clarified, and now trapped in the fire area, in addition to the eighteen tunnelers, there is also a geological surveyor who went to the head-on line, and a gas inspector who went to check the gas, a total of 20 people."

"Okay, got it."

"Secretary Tang has ordered the bureau's ambulance team to dispatch urgently, and they are rushing here."

"You leave someone to lead the way, notify the wellhead and the well, and provide all the convenience for the ambulance team."

"Secretary Tang is changing his clothes now, and he is about to go down the well."

"Tell Secretary Tang and ask him to command ...... on the ground"

Rushing to the outside of the minus 330 substation, a smoke alley appeared in front of Liu Cunyi. There was chaos at the scene, and some burn-injured workers were carried onto stretchers. Captain Jiang of the Hongqi Mine Ambulance Team was shouting and asking the ambulance team members to pick up the water hose and support the water pump.

Liu Cunyi was anxious when he saw it: "Captain Jiang, you have to rush in to save people first!" ”

Captain Jiang was embarrassed and said, "Mine Chief Liu, how can you save people if this fire is not extinguished?" Send you to death! ”

The fire in the alley was indeed burning, and some of the wooden supports were crumbling.

However, Liu Cunyi was worried about the lives of the 20 worker comrades in the fire alley: "Captain Jiang, my opinion is that we should rush in first to save people, and your ambulance team will immediately put on gas masks and force their way through the fire area, and rescue the comrades at the head of the 3030 excavation first." Then, the minus 330 aisle was closed, the ventilation was cut off, and the fire was extinguished. ”

Captain Jiang hesitated: "This ...... Can this rush through? ”

Liu Cunyi took a closer look: "Pressing the fire with a water dragon all the way, it won't be too much of a problem, right?" ”

Captain Jiang said, "So, what should I do when I come back?" We saved people and rushed back in case the fire got out of control......"

Liu Cunyi became angry at this time: "It's nothing in case!" Captain Jiang, you will take the lead for me immediately! Remember, there were eighteen tunnelers, one gas inspector, one geological surveyor, and a total of twenty class brethren. Each of you brings an extra set of gas masks and try to get them out safely! ”

Captain Jiang looked at the fire in front of him, and sweat broke out on his forehead: "Mine Chief Liu, this is ...... It's too dangerous! ”

Liu Cunyi said angrily: "Then what do you say?" ”

Captain Jiang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that ...... It is estimated that there may not be any living people inside, even if they are not burned to death, they will be smoked to death. Mine Chief Liu, I ...... I think it's the most ...... It's better to cut off the wind source now and hit the ...... Hit the ...... of the closed wall"

Liu Cunyi scolded: "Captain Jiang, are you a fucking Communist Party member?" How can you give up these twenty lives without making an effort?! Even if these twenty people are all sacrificed, you have to snatch the corpses out of me!" ”

Captain Jiang retreated, and said sneeringly, "I...... We can't make fearless sacrifices......"

Liu Cunyi forced up and said word by word: "The fire ground is the battlefield, the country has raised troops for a thousand days, and now it is a time to use soldiers, I am not discussing with you, I am giving you orders!" Captain Jiang, I'll just ask you a question: Do you fucking carry out orders or not? ”

Captain Jiang cried: "Mine Chief Liu, you ...... Spare me! ”

Liu Cunyi knew that this Captain Jiang could not be counted on, so he kicked Captain Jiang down, and shouted with red eyes: "Enforce battlefield discipline for me, escort this captain of the bad breed who escaped from the battle, and hand it over to the mining district court for justice!" ”

At this moment, Tang Ping rushed from the well and stopped the angry Liu Cunyi: "Slow! He pulled up Captain Jiang, "Lao Jiang, you are a member of the Communist Party, and I, the secretary of the party committee of the bureau, will give you one last chance to choose, are you willing to go to court for the crime of escaping and dereliction of duty, or rush forward?" ”

Captain Jiang trembled all over, and he couldn't stand steadily: "Secretary Tang, are you ...... You make me think again......"

Tang Ping waved his hand at the attaché present: "Escort it according to the order of Mine Chief Liu!" ”

At this time, Liu Cunyi had already fastened his gas mask, and was still holding a set of gas masks for the workers in distress, and was ready to enter the fire area with the members of the mine rescue team.

Tang Ping confessed: "Cunyi, you have to be careful, you must be careful!" If you can't get by, bring them back! The personnel of the bureau ambulance team are also about to arrive, and we will find a way! Yes? ”

Liu Cunyi nodded: "I know, I know!" He then ordered his ambulance crews, "Turn on a few pumps for me, stretch the pipes, and follow me!" Lao Tang, here you have scheduled, ready to hit the closed wall, we will fight as soon as we withdraw, don't delay for a minute! After that, Liu Cunyi and more than a dozen ambulance crews, under the cover of several water dragons, ventured into the fire area.

The burning alley was like a stove, and the two team members rushed less than 20 meters before they fell, Liu Cunyi hurriedly asked people to drag them down, and he took the rest of the team members to continue to struggle into the depths of the fire alley. On the way, most of the work clothes of Liu Cunyi and his subordinates were on fire, and the meat on their bodies was scorched.

However, no one flinched. With such a lifeless mine manager, no one dared to retreat.

At 123 meters from the roadway, Liu Cunyi and the ambulance team met the miners who were killed in the ditch.

In the thick smoke and darkness, Liu Cunyi's calm voice immediately sounded: "Comrades, I am Liu Cunyi. I'm with all of you. Don't panic, put on your gas masks, and follow the comrades of the ambulance team out one by one. The number of people must be counted, and there can be no one missing! Who is in charge here? ”

A middle-aged miner said, "Mine Chief Liu, it's me, I'm the team leader." ”

Liu Cunyi asked: "Are your eighteen workers all here?" ”

The middle-aged miner said: "There are nineteen people in total, and there is a geological surveyor, Xiao Sun. ”

Liu Cunyi said: "There should be a gas inspector surnamed Cheng, in the ventilation work area!" ”

The middle-aged miner said, "I don't know about this person. ”

Liu Cunyi said: "Okay, let's take these nineteen people away!" ”

After the ambulance team took the miners away, only Liu Cunyi was left in the smoke-filled tunnel.

Liu Cunyi continued to walk into the smoke-shrouded alleyway, calling as he walked: "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng ......"

The burned bracket was still collapsing, and Liu Cunyi didn't go far before he was knocked down by a fallen bracket, his body was crooked, and he fell into the ditch, losing consciousness all of a sudden.

At this time, the bureau's ambulance team also rushed to the scene, first helped the comrades of the mine rescue team to carry out the 19 rescued worker comrades, and then rushed into the fire area under Tang Ping's order to find Liu Cunyi and the gas inspector who was still missing. Tang Ping especially pointed out that Liu Cunyi, in particular, must do everything possible to snatch it out, to see people alive and corpses to death!

Seeing the comrades of the bureau's ambulance team enter the fire, Tang Ping grabbed the carrier phone in his hand and gave an order to the mine dispatch room: "Listen, listen, I'm Tang Ping, immediately give me to the lamp room, go to the ventilation area to check again, and see if the gas inspector surnamed Cheng went to the 3030 excavation head today?!" ”

The carrier phone immediately rang an echo: "Secretary Tang, we have checked, Xiao Cheng did go down the well." ”

"It's big down there! Make it clear to me, did this comrade go to the 3030 excavation head! ”

"Yes, Secretary Tang, we will implement it immediately!"

"Notify all the working places of the coal face and excavation head in the mine, and urgently look for this inspector for me! Urgently looking! Don't hang up the phone, feel free to contact me! ”

Ten minutes later, the carrier phone called: "Secretary Tang! Secretary Tang! ”

Tang Ping hurriedly said: "Say, say quickly, I'll listen!" ”

"Gas inspector Xiao Cheng found it. He didn't go to the 3030 excavation head to check the gas today, and hid in the pump room at the mouth of the shaft to sleep, and the pump room duty officer just called......"

Tang Ping was so angry that he lost his temper: "Inform this surnamed Cheng and ask him to go to the well immediately and wait for me in the dispatch room!" If Mine Chief Liu Cunyi had three longs and two shorts today, I wouldn't have been able to fucking spare him! I fucking want him to give Liu Cunyi his life......"

At this moment, the comrades of the bureau's ambulance team carried Liu Cunyi, who had been burned to the ground, in front of Tang Ping.

Tang Ping threw away the phone and threw himself next to the stretcher: "Old man, you ...... How are you? ”

Liu Cunyi was woken up by the cool breeze, and his lips moved for a long time before he asked: "Little ...... Xiao Cheng found it? ”

Tang Ping nodded with tears in his eyes: "Found it, found it, old man, you ...... You can rest assured! Twenty people is not a lot! ”

Liu Cunyi grinned and smiled as if crying: "That...... That's good, quick, give Cheng Hui a call, and ...... Let's just say, the accident is dealt with, I ...... I'm fine, tell her not to worry......" With that, she passed out again.

The tears in Tang Ping's eyes couldn't hold back anymore and flowed out in front of many people.

At 4:12 in the morning, the phone in Sun Chenghui's arms rang, Tang Ping didn't say anything on the phone, only informed Sun Chenghui and asked Sun Chenghui to prepare and go to the bureau hospital immediately, saying that he personally brought the car to pick her up.

Sun Chenghui put down the phone and knew that something had happened to Liu Cunyi, so without thinking about it, he rushed into the storm outside the door and stumbled into the mine. Halfway on the road, the headlights of a car illuminated Sun Chenghui's stumbling figure in the wind and rain, and stopped abruptly beside Sun Chenghui. Tang Ping, whose face was full of tears, got out of the car and helped Sun Chenghui into the car.
