Moonlit night, bright lights, no rain.

A large open space in front of a farmhouse became a gathering place for more than 800 warriors.

On the dry ground, there was a large patch of brown paper, and many boxes were stacked on top of it, reeking of danger that could raze the place to the ground.

Familiar and unfamiliar passwords.

"Look to the right... Even! ”

"Onward... See! ”

Ten miles of different sounds, even the same slogan, in the mouth of this prime-aged colonel, can shout a different taste.

Almost all of them were curiously observing Fang Huai, the deputy leader of the commando team who was standing alone in front of the side of the team.

That extremely young face doesn't look like a leader no matter how you look at it.

If he didn't wear the firefighting rescue suit and changed into a suit, maybe he could give people a different kind of imagination.

It is only the troops, the elders and the young, and the ranks are strict.

However, in this temporary commando, everything happens normally, anyway, everyone is probably going to risk death, and it is not surprising that they break the rules.

"Comrades!" The brigade commander roared, pulling back his thoughts.

"Today, we are going to travel about 70 miles on foot to Tangjia Mountain!

In these seventy miles, there are nearly 8 hours of night, there are mountains, rolling stones, and cliffs, are you afraid! ”

"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! Unafraid!! ”

Three calls are like thunder.

832 people, 829 standing below, this queue is open, can stand in a playground, at this time the ball is in a ball, the sound is shocking to the eardrums.

"Don't be afraid, that's right! Because inside, there is a giant beast waiting for us to tame!

According to the instructions of the superiors, the water level of the dammed lake inside will explode every time it rains! The leader said that it will rise to the point that it will frighten the people of the country and make us afraid!

When I heard this, I replied loudly to the leader, will the courage of our people's soldiers be cold?

You tell me, will you?! ”

"No, no, no!!"

The brigade commander smiled contemptuously: "It's just a dirt slope, let's go take it now!"

Now listen to my orders, explosives, dry food, water, upper shoulders! We not only want to conquer Tangjiashan, but also to help the people who evacuated along the road!

15 hours! Before tomorrow afternoon, we will rush to Tangjiashan, contact the command headquarters, and carry out the blasting! Do you have confidence! ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes!! ”

"Everyone, prepare! Fifteen minutes later, let's go! ”

The psychological problems of the grassroots soldiers who are really working hard are much easier to solve than the leaders in the command headquarters, and the captain of the team, Brigade Commander Jin, is just an ordinary front of the battle, and he easily erected two enemies for all the soldiers:

The word "cold" of the leader and the "soil slope" of Tangjiashan.

"Comrade Xiaofang, I heard from the command that you know the geology of Tangjiashan very well, and in a while you will be in the penultimate echelon, and the soldiers of our brigade will go ahead! The comrades of the armed police hydropower go in the middle! ”

As soon as Brigade Commander Jin disbanded the troops, he immediately began to communicate with the two deputy captains.

Fang Huai smiled and said, "Brigade Commander Jin, the comrades of the fire department should be inserted in the front, middle and rear columns, responsible for protecting the entire queue forward, this matter has been decided by the command."

The priority now is to protect your Demolitionists, and I recommend that you spread them out throughout the team as well to avoid casualties in the event of an accident.

Also, we have to find a fellow to lead the way. ”

Brigade Commander Jin immediately pointed to a second-phase non-commissioned officer and said, "Don't worry! It's been arranged for a long time! There is a Qiang warrior in our brigade, who is from Beichuan! He was the vanguard! ”

Fang Huai looked at the non-commissioned officer's epaulettes and said, "Let's find one, I'm in the command headquarters and have read the evaluation data related to this earthquake."

The landslides and the ground cracked, and the mountains and rivers changed.

The rupture zone oscillates back and forth between the Beichuan in Kangding, and there should be an explosion zone produced by a tearing fault near the Beichuan.

I heard that some mountains have been combined, and the original terrain may have completely changed.

This soldier can judge the direction in front, and the specific road has to be taken by someone who has walked in the past two days to take us over, which is the safest. ”

Brigadier Jin touched his chin.

"You're right, before we enter the mountain road, let's find another fellow to help."

Captain Chen of Hydropower next to him said with some regret: "It's a pity, our equipment didn't come, otherwise, with the skills of a few top soldiers we brought, you all have to go behind us, more than 300 of us, can give you a wide and flat road!" ”

Fang Huai looked at Captain Chen, who had a strong military aura and a strong sense of competitiveness, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The reform of hydropower of the armed police is really greater than that of fire fighting, fire protection is just a change of flag, the work has not changed, and hydropower has been directly transformed into an enterprise.

I couldn't help but sigh: "I hope that there will be a place for you as soon as possible, so that the people of Beichuan will be blessed." ”

Captain Chen said with a smile: "Comrade Xiaofang looks young, but he speaks with a leadership style!" ”

Brigade Commander Jin also smiled and said: "Lao Liu of the Jibu Brigade called me, this little comrade is amazing, he is fighting in the command headquarters, this task is what he applied for us, the rising star of firefighting!" ”

Fang Huai sighed: "I hope we can succeed at one time, the leader has already said, if the task is completed, we will enter Beichuan nearby for rescue, if it can't be completed, we can only wait for the second batch of explosives to be sent in the dammed lake in Tangjiashan."

It is still less than 72 hours, and after tomorrow afternoon, it is only the fourth day, and if more than 800 soldiers enter Beichuan for reinforcements, the encouragement to the local people will be huge. ”

When Brigadier Jin heard this, his expression changed.

"Why didn't I get notified about this? Didn't the chief say that after the blasting, we had to stay in Tangjiashan and wait for the experts to arrive and observe the situation? ”

Fang Huai shook his head and said in a low voice:

"We only need a small number of people to stay and save the camp, and the leader is to let us concentrate on dealing with the dammed lake and not be impetuous.

Don't spread this news for the time being, blast, you must be calm and cautious, so the leader asked me to come over, and I will tell you in person. ”

Brigade Commander Jin stared at him, paused for two seconds, and then turned to the soldiers who were distributing detonators, explosives, and supplies, and shouted:

"Arrival time, adjusted to 12 hours! Burn the wind! Hurry up!! Hurry up, hurry up! ”

……

Don't die.

Forced march, changed to a rapid march.

When he was in a hurry, the sound of everyone's backpacks brushing made Fang Huai a little frightened when he heard it.

It shook inside, but it was explosives.

"Brigadier Jin, let them slow down! Slow down a bit! Fang Huai said loudly.

"It's okay! It won't explode in a backpack! Our explosives won't explode if they fall! Must be detonated manually! The detonators are at the back of the line!

And the backpack where the explosives are placed has also been cushioned, so there will be no collision and friction!

This section of the road is still a cement road, easy to walk! If you don't hurry up, you'll go into the mountains in the back, and you can't even mention it if you want to! ”

Brigadier Jin walked briskly, waving his hand.

said to be walking, but in fact, it was similar to race walking, and the warrior next to him was trotting, which was about the same speed as him.

But when Fang Huai heard this, he was stunned.

“… My backpack, I didn't deal with it, this is our mountain rescue kit for firefighting! ”

Brigadier Jin frowned: "You are a firefighter, what are you carrying explosives for?" ”

As he spoke, he stopped, raised his hand and said:

"Your backpack, show me!"

Fang Huai raised his hand and handed it over: "Slow down." ”

Brigadier Jin looked at the huge backpack and put a little bit of effort.

But he still sank suddenly, and quickly used his other hand.

"How many pounds is this?!"

"I don't know, it's more than a hundred, it's quite heavy."

As soon as Fang Huai spoke, Brigadier Jin was taken aback.

Open the backpack, and there are biscuits, ham sausages, and water underneath.

On top, it was stacked with packed explosives, and when he lifted it, he couldn't lift it with one hand.

"C... Are you going to carry so many things over the mountain? Pour it backwards for a while, and this bag will take you down! ”

As he drank, Brigade Commander Jin took out all the encapsulated explosives in his backpack and handed them to the soldiers passing by.

"One person divides the point, run faster! and the detonator in the back is more than a hundred meters away! ”

The soldiers looked at the big backpack and brought out five packs of 10-pound explosives, some of which were bulging, and they were all a little staggered.

Everyone's standard configuration is three packs of explosives, plus 20 pounds of materials, plus a bag of weight, 50 pounds of weight.

His bag of explosives is 50 pounds!

Fang Huai heard Brigade Commander Jin say that the explosives and backpacks were all processed, but he didn't dare to carry them forcibly, but just asked the soldiers who helped him share the weight to give him all the living materials.

If he doesn't give supplies, he doesn't give explosives packs.

As a result, after the explosives package was distributed, Fang Huai's backpack was heavier, and he also carried a set of tent telescopic poles.

When I started again, it seemed to be a little faster.

Fang Huai was actually able to run into the first echelon just now, but there were too many explosives on his back, and he was a little afraid of exploding.

This time, I said that I wanted to hold the belief that "I can die and dare to die", but if I was killed on the road, it would not be cost-effective.

Brigade Commander Jin didn't have any explosives on his body, only about thirty catties of supplies, which was considered light, and seeing Fang Huai speeding up, he gradually increased his speed.

Change to walk, to run.

The more I ran, the more frightened I became.

I can't catch up!

Gradually, also gave up.

Seeing Fang Huai carrying a big bag on his back and carrying a set of poles to rush forward, gradually surpassing the first echelon, he was already beating a drum in his heart.

This doesn't look like a brain-wielding expert! It's like a brute in the martial arts arena!

… The physical fitness of the firefighters, so fierce?!

Or... When will you take the time to take the soldiers in the brigade to compete with the local firefighters?

……

The lights of the firefighters holding flashlights, dozens of places, illuminated the entire long procession.

At 10:20, I gathered in the courtyard of Qiu's house, set off from Anxian at 11 o'clock, and at half past 12 o'clock, I finally met an old man who came out of it at a fork in the road that entered Beichuan.

As soon as the old man saw the military uniforms on them, he also stopped, and when he saw their long queue, he was even more excited to wipe his tears, and when he came up, he shook the hand of a soldier.

"PLA! Pla! You're finally here! ”

The soldier was still a high-ranking soldier, and he seemed a little at a loss, so he had to quickly take out a portion of the mineral water and rations on his body and stuff them into the old man's hand.

Fang Huai was a little puzzled, and went up and asked, "Uncle, the People's Liberation Army inside should have arrived, right?" ”

According to their information, Beichuan had already passed through the mountain road and entered most of the regiment.

How big a city, there are 1,000 rescue troops in it, and I haven't seen the PLA?

There are also earthquake rescue teams and medical personnel at home and abroad!

"There aren't enough people, not enough!" The old man patted his thigh and said loudly and eagerly: "It's all collapsed inside, the hospital, the school, the government, and the police station are gone, and not a single one is alive!" I can't save it! ”
