Chapter 263: You Protect Us, We Will Protect You Too
Lu Qingsong picked up the telescope and looked towards the mountain.
In addition to the fire in the sky, there was billowing smoke thicker than ink.
Not to mention the people of the Tiger Regiment, they can't even see a ghost shadow at all.
The more he couldn't see anyone, the more anxious and worried he became: Lin Hui, you must not have an accident!
Lu Qingsong yelled at the detachment leader and said, "You are short of manpower, give us equipment, and we will go up to help you put out the fire!" ”
Hong Chang stopped him: "You can't go up." ”
"What did you say?" Lu Qingsong's eyes were as wide as the copper bell: "Lao Tzu brought so many people here, can't he go up and watch from below?" ”
Hong Chang hurriedly explained: "Comrade Chief, you misunderstood. I mean, the fire is so big that it's useless for you to go up. ”
"There aren't many places to stay on it, and it's enough to go to a few hundred people. If you follow suit, you'll all be huddled together, and it won't work at all! ”
Lu Qingsong was in a hurry: "Then I can't watch my soldiers surrounded by a sea of fire!" ”
Hong Chang took a deep breath and looked at him: "I can understand your feelings. Your soldiers have just managed to extinguish a fire, and they have experience, so that's why I let them go up. ”
"You're just watching from a distance now, you haven't felt the horror of the wildfire up close, you have no experience, if you go up, it's easy to have an accident."
"The fire at the top of the mountain is several times bigger than the fire below, I can't watch you die in vain!"
Lu Qingsong's face was flickering by the mountain fire, he clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was full of anger and unwillingness.
He gathered the whole division just to come and help put out the wildfire.
But now it has been directly denied by professionals.
Everyone can only wait at the bottom, in a hurry.
But he knew that he could not risk the lives of his fighters until the last step, until the last moment when the people's property was threatened.
A soldier can die, but what must die is valuable and meaningful.
Lin Hui and the others are still fighting the wildfire, fighting for the last hope.
If their side is lost, the fire shows signs of spreading to the city.
Lu Qingsong will definitely rush forward without hesitation, take everyone with him, cast a steel city wall with flesh and blood, and swear to protect the city and people behind him!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Hong Chang suddenly spoke: "Actually, you can help!" ”
Lu Qingsong asked excitedly: "How to help, what to help?" ”
Hong Chang pointed to the mountain: "There is a lack of water, a lack of fire extinguishers, and a lot of equipment. Just now we sent a batch up, it is estimated that it is almost used up, we have few people, and the speed of sending it up is too slow. ”
"There are a lot of people, so you can just help transport all the things."
"Okay!" Lu Qingsong nodded vigorously: "I'll immediately gather the team!" ”
He immediately ordered the entire division commander to assemble.
Hong Chang was not ambiguous, and gathered all the firefighters under the mountain and stood next to the team.
Lu Qing took the megaphone and said solemnly: "Don't talk nonsense!" We are not fighting fires now, but fighting a hard war. The enemy is stronger than we think, but that's it, we must not lose! ”
"Lin Hui and the Tiger Regiment have already rushed to the forefront, and now, we have to let them know that they are not fighting alone!"
"Behind them, there are all the brothers of 602, and there are many brave and fearless firefighters!"
"Are you afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid!"
The roar resounded through the sky.
It also represents their determination not to be afraid of death.
Lu Qingsong nodded with satisfaction: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, today, is the time to test the results!" The order goes down, and everyone goes down from top to bottom, one regiment is above, two regiments are below, and so on! ”
"How many fire extinguishing equipment there are, all of them will be transported to the mountains for me!"
"Let's go!"
Lu Qingsong took the lead and rushed up the mountain.
The large force followed closely.
Hong Chang, who was next to him, was infected and yelled at his subordinates: "Quick, unload all the equipment on the car, move fast!" ”
Looking at many army-green figures, they marched towards the mountain.
The hearts of the onlookers were shaken, and their eyes were all moist.
The firefighters went up and down the mountain again and again, and the appearance of being covered in darkness was enough to make them feel distressed.
Now there are so many people, against the raging fire, facing the billowing smoke, rushing up the mountain as if they were dead.
From a distance, they could see the resolute green faces of the team, but they were only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Almost the same age as the children in the family, the younger brother.
But from the moment they put on the uniform, they are no longer ordinary people, no longer anyone's son, whose younger brother, but a soldier.
With their weak bodies, they carry burdens that are countless times heavier than life.
Even in the face of death, we will never back down.
Looking at their backs rushing towards the sea of fire, a middle-aged man rushed out excitedly and shouted vigorously: "Leader, I want to go up to help, and I can also help deliver things!" ”
The others reacted one after another, shouting excitedly.
"Leader, I can run fast with long legs, and I can help too!"
"I'm a great guy, nothing else, it's just strength, I'll help you pick things up!"
"I have a motorcycle, I can rush to it, it must be more than human power!"
"Let me go!"
“……”
In an instant, the excited shouts of the people came and went.
Hong Chang and the firefighters who had just retired from the mountain suddenly had red eyes.
A firefighter choked in his throat: "Captain, I want to cry!" ”
Hong Chang grabbed him tightly, and his eyes were red: "Don't cry!" We are the people's soldiers, lose our skin and flesh, and don't shed tears! ”
"Yes, I don't cry!"
Hong Chang's heart was filled with endless warmth.
Originally, they should have protected the common people.
Unexpectedly, when they were about to lose their hold and were about to fall.
A pair of large hands held them all up and helped them to stand up again.
In Yanguo, soldiers are always worthy of the trust and reliance of the people.
In the same way, the common people will always be the support of the soldiers.
This is the real situation between the military and the people.
Hong Chang stepped forward and politely refused: "Fellow villagers, we understand your kindness, but ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by an old man: "Leader, don't say anything." ”
"You are desperately trying to put out fires and defend our homes, and if we locals do nothing, are we still human?"
The eldest sister next to her shouted, "That's right! Who doesn't have to be raised by a mother, you protect me, and we have to help you! ”
Someone proposed: "Leader, why don't you give the order and command us." It's too chaotic for us to rush up, you command us, we want to help! ”
"Yes, you command us!"
All the people shouted together.
Hong Chang raised his head, and tears couldn't stop sliding down his cheeks: For the sake of these lovely people, even if you risk your life to protect them, it's worth it!
He wiped away his tears vigorously and turned his head to look at the raging fire on the mountain.
The people who had just rushed up were already swept up in smoke.
If you don't have a lot of equipment, it's hard to put out a wildfire, or even save your own life.
You must know that when a fire broke out, most people were not burned to death, but choked to death by thick smoke.
Now, even if the fire brigade arrives, they can only control the fire from the bottom of the mountain, and they cannot extinguish the fire on the mountain.
In this era, Yanguo did not have advanced fire extinguishing equipment, so it could only rely on manpower to extinguish fires.
The hearts of the people are united, Taishan moves!
Other than that, there's no better way!
Hong Chang turned his head to look at the enthusiastic people, and was indescribably grateful and moved: "Thank you, thank you!" Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to help, all come to me! ”
