Chapter 33: Going against the tide in a difficult time
[Make a patch.] Yesterday my brain burned out and the writing was a bit average. The protagonist discovers through his eyes that the victims are somewhat forced.
At the same time, military drones are almost always around the clock, and it is not very appropriate for the book to be affected by heavy rain.
Now it has been modified to use drones to find the trapped Yang family father and son. 】
The kayak is not big and cannot carry too many people.
Therefore, when the two were rescued, the fighters also needed to come down. Paddle back with the kayak.
Thirty minutes later, the two men were finally transported back.
Immediately, fighters from the medical detachment of the synthetic battalion carried stretchers for treatment.
Yang Jie was on the way and thanked all the way.
"Battalion commander, battalion commander also launched."
"I'm fine."
Li Xiu rinsed his mouth and spit out the saliva with mud and sand.
Looking at the heavy rain that is unabated, I am a little helpless.
Only two people were saved, and they almost lost half their lives.
You can see the difficulty of the rescue.
Yang Yuanhong, who was rescued, was still fainting at this time, but he was out of danger.
But in fact, for other battalions, the search is the most difficult.
With such heavy rain and wind, it was already very inconvenient to move, let alone search and rescue.
The advantage of the synthetic battalion is here, it is a system of its own, which can integrate search, rescue, and medical treatment.
At this time, the drone continued to search deep into Duzhou Village.
Roofs, tree branches, telephone poles......
Once the trapped people are found, they can quickly realize real-time calculation and positioning of long-distance targets...
Of course, because it is an infrared observation device, it is observing a constant temperature object. Therefore, the information detected by UAVs is not necessarily correct, and there are certain misjudgments. For example, on one occasion, the observed thermostatic object was not a person, but a large yellow dog.
But, it can't be so much.
Most of it is still accurate, and that's enough.
Li Xiu has always taken the lead, relying on water and physical fitness, in seven hours, together with the team, he took the lead in desperately saving more than 200 people.
Most of these people are on the rooftops, and a few are clinging to tree branches.
Compared to other battalions, this is much more efficient.
All of these rely on the complete system and advanced technology of the synthetic battalion, such as the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) conduction infrared device, which other battalions do not have.
Of course, one of the reasons why officers and men are not afraid of difficulties is also this.
At this time, the soldiers of the synthetic battalion were all white lips and cold all over.
It's not just exhaustion, but hypothermia is also widespread.
The whole body was soaked in water, and when he took a handful, a small piece of whitish dead skin fell off his body.
Moreover, running against the current is very, very physically demanding.
The rescue mission is to go all out and there is no time to waste.
The golden time for rescue is 72 hours after the disaster.
During this period of time, every extra piece of soil dug up and one more paddle by the synthetic camp can give the trapped people more life.
So, even if you are tired, you need to be nervous.
In addition to emergency rescue and disaster relief, it is also responsible for emergency pacification, transfer of people, opening roads, etc., in short, there are many tasks, but the most dangerous is still on the front line.
"Battalion commander, the brothers have taken turns to rest, you should also take a break."
One of the fighters gasped.
Watching the battalion commander personally go into the water and rush to the front every time motivates them, it also makes them worried.
I was afraid that Li Xiu would lose his strength, and there was really an accident.
Li Xiu shook his head and took a few breaths.
Even if his physical strength is beyond ordinary people, he is indeed a little tired now.
However, he was able to hold on.
Now, the scariest thing is the mentality.
Many warriors were frightened by the wrath of nature.
It is true that many people have been saved, but there are also people who have not been saved.
Because they are all mud houses, many houses were flooded when the flood came.
Anyway, according to the survivors, a lot of people are 'missing'.
Many people, who do not understand water, are directly submerged by the flood.
Even, in the flood, he touched a cold leg caught by a window.
What could be saved, they did their best to save everything. As for what can't be saved, they can't help it.
Now, in Duzhou Village, the drone has searched many times.
Wherever I could, I basically searched everything.
Even if they couldn't find the place, a few of the top floors of the second floor, they also explored it.
Now, it's time to search other places.
In short, with the help of drone infrared search, those who are trapped are constantly rescued.
Race against time and life.
The head of the command, who docked with Li Xiu, was the head of the 411 regiment.
The head of the unit is constantly applying for support from the synthetic battalion.
The characteristics of the synthetic camp, flexible and unitary, are fully embodied at this time.
Compared with other battalions, the efficiency and success rate of the synthetic battalion are more than three times higher.
…………
It was getting darker.
Drones, still unaffected, continue to search and rescue trapped people.
In the beginning, the search was relatively efficient, but as time passed, the drone also searched everything around it.
No matter how far away, the synthetic battalion can't take care of it.
So. The first stage is barely over.
The order came, and everyone had a short time to recuperate.
However, at this time, a huge sound woke everyone up at once.
Immediately after, the ground seemed to shake.
"What's the situation?"
"It's the Hongcheng side downstream of Wucheng!"
"Damn, what's wrong, it can't be an earthquake!"
"Probably not. The sound is not the same. ”
“……”
Li Xiu was also awakened and immediately contacted the head of the unit.
However, they suddenly found that the signal was broken.
The military, at this time, is a temporary communications network established through long-range UAVs.
However, the signal of the temporary communication network is easily interfered with.
The wind and rain outside are still so strong, so naturally it will not be very stable.
For example, now, the signal is cut off.
Listening to the sound of Zrazla coming from the communicator, Li Xiu felt anxious in his heart.
So, after waiting for about thirty minutes, communication was restored.
Li Xiu also did not hesitate to ask about the situation.
"Battalion Commander Li, the situation is very bad."
"Twenty kilometers away from you, because of the heavy rain, the side rocks collapsed and collapsed, the landslide occurred, and the road leading to the embankment of the 411 regiment was washed away."
"At present, the sappers of our regiment are rushing to repair, but it will take at least four hours."
Landslides, mudslides?
Li Xiu's face changed.
So serious.
"What about the casualties?"
"No statistics have been made, but as of now, the whereabouts of thirty-one people are unknown. At the time of the sudden mudslide, the 411 regiment had already entered the Hongcheng embankment, and the embankment was currently being reinforced, but fortunately it was not greatly affected. ”
While the chief of the unit spoke, there was also obvious palpitation.
If the mudslide had occurred a little closer to the north, the loss of their 411th regiment would have increased exponentially.
"However, there is a situation where the 411th Regiment may need the support of the Composite Battalion."
The head of the 411th regiment was silent for a second before speaking.
"Speak, Chief Cen, we are a joint combat unit, and we need to speak directly." Li Xiudao.
"Okay, Camp Commander Li, I'll just say it directly. You know, the main task of our 411 regiment was to strengthen the embankment, and it was originally planned that there would be enough manpower. But now the roads are blocked, cars can't get on, and most of the materials can't be delivered. ”
"We have sandbags and we don't need them, but other materials are scarce."
"Therefore, we hope that the synthetic camp can use manpower to help transport materials."
Wucheng is going to discharge floods, and the two direct currents that converge downstream will collide together.
At that time, it will be Hongcheng downstream, and if it is not reinforced, there will be a risk of the embankment bursting.
Therefore, it is very important to strengthen the embankment.
The embankment can be reinforced, and it cannot only be stacked with sandbags.
It is also necessary to drive wooden piles, reinforced piles.
If there is no such thing, just raise sandbags, and tens of thousands of cubic meters of flood peaks come every second, that is, the embankment is destroyed and people die.
How serious are the consequences of the destruction of the embankment?
Dam failure is much more terrible than flood discharge.
At the very least, all the bridges and roads will be shattered. At least two-thirds of the entire city will be flooded. The entire Hongcheng may become like Du Zhou Village.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the task of reinforcing the embankment was extremely severe, and the superiors attached great importance to it.
However, this is very difficult.
For the synthetic battalion, without tools, it is already dangerous to pass through the slope with rapids, and if you add a heavy load of materials, it is equivalent to countless times more difficult
What's more, it was still in the case of extreme exhaustion of the officers and soldiers of the synthetic battalion.
"Good"
But in the face of the sudden task, Li Xiu did not think twice.
The fate of the field army is to complete the task, and naturally it cannot be refused.
What's more, this task cannot be refused either.
The other party found the synthesis camp, apparently because only the synthesis camp could be used.
"Thank you."
The head of the unit said.
Li Xiu hung up the communicator directly.
The situation is dire. According to the time, four or five hours at most, and the time will be too late.
The 411 regiment is obviously a trapped beast at this time.
Traffic is blocked, and food is estimated to be a problem.
Now it's just about materials, and it's obviously ready to be held up.
Li Xiu didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered: "Quick, everyone go to the material department to get steamed buns, tonight, there is an urgent task." ”
"Listen and eat, eat as much as you can, don't stop."
Li Xiu's voice was transmitted to the whole camp through several loudspeakers.
The warriors gritted their teeth and stood up, dragging their tired bodies towards the supplies.
Li Xiu also arranged the task at this time: "We have encountered a big problem this time"
"The road ahead was washed out, there was a problem with the transportation of materials, and the superiors ordered us to transport materials in the synthetic battalion."
"Five hundred and sixty people, according to six hundred people, thirty kilograms per person, that is, eighteen tons, the distance is about five kilometers, which is equivalent to carrying a load off-road, the kettle is filled with water, only half of it is allowed to drink, and the other half is to be left for the brothers of the 411 regiment to drink......"
"In the middle of the night, pay attention when running, and put two layers of insoles under your feet."
Arrange the tasks simply and directly, and then, take the synthetic battalion to line up to receive materials and equipment.
Rebar, link nets, bundles of sacks, ropes......
Eighteen tons of supplies......
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the mudslide, a military vehicle would have been able to load it completely.
But now, it has to be transported by manpower.
………………
Fifteen minutes later, the synthetic battalion, which had turned into a pure infantry, arrived at the road blocked by the mudslide.
They have to go around this road and climb up from the other side of the path.
The slope is not too big, but the water is still flowing despite the heavy rain.
Six hundred men braved the heavy rain, carried loads full of materials, hung water bottles like grenades, and ran to the embankment with sapper shovels on their backs.
Five kilometers, originally this distance, was also a warm-up distance for everyone in the synthesis camp.
At this moment, it has become a moat.
Smack!
It's just that at the beginning, someone smashed the whole body into the muddy water, and the steel bars behind them were scattered to the ground, and the soldiers couldn't care about anything, so they immediately tied the steel bars again and moved forward again.
The water is turbulent and the slope is extremely difficult.
"Run, run."
"We are the hope of Hongcheng and the hope of the people in the flood discharge area of the province."
"Comrades, this is war!"
"And the consequences and the stakes are greater than any war!"
"Hongcheng's safety is pinned on us. The lives of countless people are also pinned on us. ”
"Show your spirit of daring to fight!"
The officers roared with all their might, and their whole voices were about to be shouted.
At this time, you really need to puff up!
Even if you shout out, you will lose your physical strength.
Because conquering the muddy land in front of you in the wind and rain requires courage in itself.
Li Xiu felt the struggling at this time.
The mud is elastic, and although the current is only up to the knees for the time being due to the relatively turbulent reasons, the resistance is real.
What's worse is that it's muddy, and it's slippery in some places.
Li Xiu's original center of gravity was already quite stable, but he was still stumbled firmly, and his chest was plunged into the muddy water.
Other fighters were even worse.
Some fighters plunged into the muddy water with one foot, and the rubber shoes could not be pulled out directly, running barefoot, and were punctured by an unknown sharp object on the ground, and stepped on it, stabbing the flesh and blood, and a large area of bright red blood flowed out.
A recruit on Li Xiu's side, the Jibu detachment slipped with one foot in the air, and his body smashed directly into the mud, and even made a crisp sound of bones rubbing.
There were also soldiers who were knocked down by the rubble that followed the water, clutching their teeth in the sore spots, and the wounds were soaked in water, and the stinging pain like needles kept coming as if they were smeared with anti-poison potion.
The synthetic battalion is really attritional.
However, even in this case, because everyone has a load, there is not even a chance to take care of it.
And at this time, the warriors could only beckon them to come aside and rest.
But the materials still need to be carried by others.
Li Xiu was already holding the materials of four people at this time.
The strength ceiling enhancement card, he even directly exchanged three cards.
To be honest, he had never imagined that he would one day really redeem the Power Limit Enhancement Card again.
In the face of nature and the harsh environment, he chose the most primitive manpower to fight.
At this time, Li Xiu's strength data had reached eleven.
His weight was already heavier than his weight.
Even if his strength increased again, there was no way, after all, he didn't have the hands to get more materials at the moment.
All of us are on the verge of reaching the limit.
The whole battalion, in the posture of pure infantry, advanced in heavy rain.
A gloomy day, pouring rain, a rapid march.
PS: The reason why you don't use air freight is simple.
The most important thing is the time as well as the weather, and in addition to the airport.
Helicopters can't carry that much weight, and the numbers are tight
