The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 125 The Sturdy Railway Soldiers
In the dim twilight.

On the vast Gobi Desert.

There was a sound of wheels hitting the rails in the distance, and two bright light beams rushed through the darkness.

Looking at it with the help of the weak light, Li Aiguo was shocked from ear to ear.

There are two large flags hanging on the front of the train.

The flag fluttered in the strong wind, brightly illuminating the dark surroundings.

There are railway soldiers in uniform standing on the carriages, on the front of the train, and on the flatbed trailer behind.

They couldn't stand on the carriage, and some of them were still standing on the board slots, holding the handrails, half of their bodies were suspended in the air, just like those in a circus.

The railway soldiers looked calm, and it seemed that this was not the first time they had done this.

If it is placed in later generations, at least a [-]-word self-criticism must be written.

As expected of a dedicated railway force, they even regarded the train as a commuter car.

This is just great.

A train has not been towed away, another one is coming.
There are locomotive lights faintly behind, it should still be a train.

This is the rhythm of queuing up on the dead end railway.

The drivers and masters in the local locomotive depot must be jumping and scolding their mothers.

Li Aiguo guessed correctly.

There were almost 500 railway soldiers who came to participate in the rescue mission this time.

A train mounts carriages to carry people.

Another column mounted eight flatbed wagons, on which were various rescue equipment and materials.

The Railway Corps is a regular military establishment.

From employees to leaders, they all have the same military rank as army guards.

It was a company-level officer named Cai Fangshun who led the rescue team.

The accent is a bit savage, it seems to be from Sichuan Province.

People in Sichuan Province are famous for their hard work.

When recruiting railway soldiers, the number of places allocated is also the largest.

Cai Fangshun strode off the train and gave a military salute to Commander Zhang.

"Comrade Commander, Cai Fangshun, commander of the 11th Company of the Railway Corps, came to the rescue with his team, please issue an order immediately!"

It was already night.

Commander Zhang did not expect the railway soldiers to be so desperate.

"Comrade Cai, the pots and stoves have been buried in the camp. Let's let the comrades have enough to eat before starting work."

"No need, we already ate dry food on the train!"

Cai Fangshun took out a black bun from his pocket, and smiled.

"The superior leader said that this rescue mission is related to it."

He frowned and thought for a moment.

As if he couldn't remember, he patted his thigh and said.

"Anyway, it's very important, so don't delay for a moment!"

Commander Zhang has finally met someone who is worse than the rescue team.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Okay, let's enter the scene immediately."

At this time, the railway soldiers had already lined up neatly.

Under the illumination of the headlights of the train, the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

Compared with the comrades of the rescue team, their discipline is stricter, more like real
Li Aiguo turned his head to look at the cannon at the rear of the train, and then at the comrades carrying submachine guns, the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

Ok.

They are the real iron-blooded troops.

Commander Zhang took out the drawings, and with the help of the headlights, briefly introduced the situation to Company Commander Cai.

"According to the suggestion of Comrade Little Driver, we have decided that you will take reinforcement measures on the top of the cave during excavation."

"Comrade little driver?" Cai Fangshun frowned suspiciously.

"This is Comrade Little Driver." Commander Zhang pointed to Li Aiguo.

Many comrades in the locomotive depot are from railway soldiers.

After the railway corps changed jobs, the preferred unit was also the locomotive depot.

For example, the deputy director of the passenger transport workshop, Duan Zhang Xing Liuzhu, and the head of the Armed Forces Department, Niu, were all from railway soldiers.

For the railway soldiers, the locomotive depot is another home, and Li Aiguo is a family member.

Cai Fangshun stood up and shook hands with Li Aiguo heavily:

"Let me just say, except for those of us on the railway, most people can't think of such a wonderful way."

Commander Zhang: "."

Those rescue team leaders: "."

"I have to trouble you this time. Since the environment is more complicated during the excavation process, it is necessary to excavate and construct at the same time." Li Aiguo hurriedly changed the topic.

"Don't worry, my old Cai Fang has been in the hole for most of his life. Even my mother-in-law said that I stay in the hole all day and don't want to come out."

Cai Lianchang patted his chest and said: "The people I brought are all well-selected drillers, there is absolutely no problem."

Although time was tight, Cai Fangshun held a brief battlefield encouragement meeting for the railway soldiers on the spot.

"Old man Ge, let the old man listen to you one by one."

"This task is related to... related to."

He seemed unable to remember the identity of the person trapped in the cave, and he hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

In the end, he patted his thigh and said: "In short, the task can only be successful, and failure is not allowed."

"You sons of bitches, if anyone dares to delay a major event by being a melon, the old man, I will never forgive him lightly."

The railway soldiers should be in the same place as Cai Fangshun.

After listening to the dialect that Li Aiguo couldn't understand, they all straightened their chests.

"Please don't worry, the company commander. I promise not to hit people, make lights, or criticize me!"

"Guaranteed to complete the tasks entrusted to me by the organization."

Some members of the rescue team almost couldn't help laughing out loud at this time.

Company Commander Cai seemed very satisfied with his pre-war mobilization, and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

in the ensuing process.

Company Commander Cai fully demonstrated the tough style of the railway soldiers.

The narrow road leading to the camp.

Company Commander Cai looked at the truck transporting supplies behind him, then looked at the two big rocks blocking the road ahead, stroked his short hair, and cursed: "Fuck me, if you dare to be an old man, I'll give you back!"

With a big wave of his hand, he pointed at the two boulders: "The excavation team, blow it up for the old man!"

Commander Zhang seemed to think that Company Commander Cai was acting recklessly, and was about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Li Aiguo.

"Comrade Commander, the materials transported by Comrade Railway Corps include dozens of tons of cement and hundreds of square meters of sand. If these materials cannot be delivered to the entrance of the cave, the rescue will definitely be greatly delayed."

"Then it can't be fried?"

"Above?"

"That's not true"

Commander Zhang shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and stopped looking at the barbaric behavior of the railway soldiers.

This is where rescue ah.

It is clearly sabotage.

The so-called excavation team is actually the team responsible for drilling and shooting.

After receiving the order, seven or eight young men jumped off the truck.

Picking up an 8-pound sledgehammer, he jingled a hundred times on the rock to make a standard hole in the rock.

Then bury the nitramine explosives, insert the detonator, and ignite the fuse.

boom.

With a flash of fire, the rock fell apart.

This is not finished.

Another seven or eight young men took out shovels from their backs, and aimed at the blasted area, shoveling and shoveling for a while.

The whole process takes less than 10 minutes.

A flat and smooth road is finished.

Li Aiguo couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Comrade Cai, you are professional in road construction."

"Of course! Old man Ge, whoever dares to block the old man's way, the old man will smash it!"

Captain Cai seems to be used to this rude way of speaking.

Come to think of it.

In a difficult and difficult environment, people often need to use this kind of primitive foul language to vent their inner pressure.

Just like when charging on the battlefield, you will never see someone singing Peking Opera with their throats pinched.

Before rushing to the front of the enemy's line, your comrades will be scared away by you.

The railway corps was well prepared, with large and small equipment and all kinds of materials.

After an on-site meeting, Cai Fangshun led two technicians to measure the structural data of the cave and design a plan.

The detailed data on the plan, the neatly drawn lines, and the standardized construction regulations, even the experts of the rescue team could not find any faults.

No one at the scene can say that this group of people are big bosses.

"This is the data of the stress structure. The arc of the vault is 32 degrees. Since the upper part of the cave has been loosened, it is easy to loosen."

"So we should build the tunnel lining with steel mesh and steel arches, and then during the excavation process, reinforce the top with concrete."

Cai Fangshun stood up and explained the plan to Commander Zhang.

Commander Zhang looked at Li Aiguo in surprise.

This plan was the same as Li Aiguo's design, but there was no detailed data at the time.

After careful study with several experts from the rescue team, Commander Zhang slapped his palm on the table with a determined expression.

"Okay, just follow this plan!"

"Turtle sons, let's start!"

One command.

All the units on site are busy.

Cai Fangshun directed the railway soldiers to build a steel structure on the top of the cave.

Local comrades began to help the railway soldiers transport cement and sand, and mix concrete on site.

Looking at the dense steel pipes and the building materials piled up like small hills, Commander Zhang finally understood why Company Commander Cai had to blow up those two rocks.

The work of the rescue team is like embroidering and embroidering mandarin ducks and swimming in the water.

The railway soldiers are cannons, and the mountains block the mountains, and the rivers block the rivers.

The two types of work with completely different styles are moving towards the same goal under the joint command of Company Commander Cai and Commander Zhang.

Due to the need to reinforce the top, alternate construction methods were adopted on site.

The tunnel boring machine excavated a distance of one meter, the rescue team withdrew, and the railway soldiers reinforced the top of the cave.

In this way, the speed of mining will inevitably be greatly reduced.

It will take at least two more days to really get through the collapsed area.

Li Aiguo was considered idle at this time.

Resuming his role as investigator, he crouched on a rock and watched the situation below.

At the entrance of the cave, guards responsible for guarding missions.

The guards were brought by Cai Fangshun, with submachine guns in his arms and vigilant eyes.

In this case, Shiji is blind and dare not play tricks.

Li Aiguo's job is much easier.

Yawning, hesitating whether to go back to the camp to rest, the swallow hurried in from the outside.

"Little driver, the old cat is looking for you."
