They were all reborn and became firefighters again?

Chapter 288 unfolds in batches
“The initial rescue mainly relied on four cranes sent by West China Construction Engineering and four workers from the Shanxia Cement Plant.

"We arrived very early, but we were powerless and had no tools. You see, the current road conditions made it impossible to transport even a generator. Last night, Beichuan was pitch dark and all work stopped.

"The flashlights are all for the comrades of the Shenyang and Yixing fire fighters. They are professional. Our comrades don't know anything about construction or rescue. In the past few days, they were all focused on people's faces. They had no regional responsibility and relied on their conscience to save people.

“Yesterday afternoon, we started to carry out scientific rescue operations, divide them into groups, and organize combat troops, fire fighters, and medical staff into teams, and the efficiency was improved.

"It's a pity that we have never faced this kind of thing. We couldn't get in the communication for the past two days, and we were all in the dark.

"People are not easy to control. There are too many dead and injured. Many families only have one or two left. They don't want to live, so they rush to the place where they are sure their relatives are. If there is a gap, they will squeeze in. There is no way to stop them. Suddenly, as soon as I turned around, people came in again, otherwise we wouldn't have made such a bad move.

“The roads are not open, and many of them have been repaired and damaged. However, this is a mountainous area, and landslides are unavoidable and continuous.

"Yesterday, we just built a temporary passage, but it was blocked by a landslide as soon as it passed. There was a zigzag path in the woods next to it, which was destroyed by the aftershocks. We had to send people to use ropes to hoist the people entering the city down the hillside. .

“This morning, we opened another road that people can walk in and out of the city.

“Rescue…is also a problem.

"On the first day of rescuing people, the medical staff and facilities could not keep up. There were cries for help everywhere in the ruins. Our trainees carried out 31 people alive, but only half of them survived.

"Now, there is no sound in the ruins, high temperatures, and fires. There are fewer and fewer people surviving."

The colonel of the armed police introduced the situation inside and led everyone into the city from a slope that was almost made of industrial garbage.

They found two tricycles to help, and all the troops were on standby. The colonel took the three of them around and looked around.

The situation here really looks like a huge ruin.

Beichuan is divided into new town and old town.

The new city and the old city are completely separated by a road. The old city is directly half-covered by landslides and stone vegetation. The new city is slightly more open and the situation is slightly better, but not much better.

The houses not only collapsed, but also fell out of place. In many places, the ruins were not one building after another, but piles of ruins, crowded together.

The weather is very hot and the asphalt on many roofs has been burned to the point of smoking.

And after four days, the streets and buildings still have not been demarcated. Especially in the old city, where streets should be, there are waste bricks everywhere, making it difficult to walk.

There were a lot of soldiers wearing masks on the streets, pulling, shouting, and rescuing people everywhere.

There are not many places in the ruins where there are people, but when there are people, there are dozens or twenty people surrounding one person to save him.

According to the colonel, there are now more than 3000 military police inside, and there are hundreds of them just doing the disinfection work.

There are many people, but the dilapidated and disorganized appearance has not changed.

People walked in and out of dangerous buildings at will. There were not enough body bags for the corpses on the street, so many of them could only be left naked. There were also many hungry people, many of whom were digging through the rubble in search of food.

Post-earthquake rescue really doesn't just require soldiers.

Beichuan is too miserable. There are no roads and everything depends on manpower. This place does not look like a city without timely assistance from professionals from all aspects of society.

When the third wheel returned to the original place, the three got off the car. The colonel also said goodbye to them and hurried to the outside of the city just now, continuing to guard the only intersection.

"Brigadier Jin, let's divide the work." Fang Huai thought for a long time before speaking.

"Division of labor?" Brigadier Jin frowned.

"Yes." Fang Huai nodded: "The situation in Beichuan is completely different from what we imagined. There are many people now, and many troops have already entered on foot.

The order given to us by our superiors is to cooperate with search and rescue after entering, but I think... now, I am afraid that some tasks are more effective than search and rescue work.

The current military and police strength is sufficient, but we should negotiate with the Beichuan headquarters and the frontline headquarters to invest these 800 people in restoring order in the entire city.

Clean the streets, guard key units, standardize rest areas and temporary tents, and distribute the materials we bring at fixed points. Fixed points are very important. This is the basis of order. We have to make the county look like a county.

As for rescue, I estimate that there are not too many people alive at present. Our 30 fire fighters are enough to be effective. I also have an idea.

Of course, after your soldiers have divided the working area, they can also participate in search and rescue. As for rescue, if you find someone, you can call us to come to the scene to assist. "

After hearing this, Brigadier Jin said: "I think we still need to ask the frontline headquarters for instructions."

Captain Chen also rarely expressed his opinion:

"Well, each disaster relief force also needs a major coordination. It would be best if the frontline headquarters could guide and organize a meeting for the leaders of each force to unify the idea of ​​​​management and disaster relief at the same time.

We soldiers should also be divided into temporary positions and put into social work. The span between the two urban areas here is huge, there are many dead people, and the survivors are emotional. We cannot just provide disaster relief, it will be too chaotic. "

"Captain Chen is right." Fang Huai immediately agreed: "I will go to my troops now to discuss a rescue plan."

After hearing this, Brigadier Jin nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and bring our walkie-talkie with you. We will notify you if anything happens."

……

At Fang Huai's notice, the Guizhou fire fighters went out alone and gathered on a street.

Everyone looked at Fang Huai with some confusion. "Captain Huang, Director Cao, you are the leaders again now." Fang Huai glanced at his watch and got straight to the point.

"Disbanded? What happened? No more centralized rescue?" Cao Yi asked confused.

Fang Huai spent 2 minutes briefly talking about the information he had obtained so far.

Then he said: "This place is different from other places. In the past three days, Beichuan has been full of high temperatures. I just took a look and found that some roofs were already smoking at noon. Let me imagine what it would be like if I was trapped in those buildings. , you can’t survive without water for three days.”

At this time, Huang Yi also crossed his arms: "You mean...we can't save anyone?"

"No." Fang Huai shook his head:
"I'm just saying that the time has almost exceeded 96 hours, and I think the rescue thinking is about to change.

If you don't eat for four days, you won't die, but if you don't drink water, you definitely won't die.

I thought of two places that were most likely to have the conditions for survival.

First, the vegetable market, and second, there is a water plant here.

I can only provide one idea, and for the rest, you need to brainstorm.

Now that I have the conditions to contact the frontline headquarters and ask for people, we need to disperse our operations, with three people in a team, evenly distribute the equipment, and lead the combat troops to rescue places where people are most likely to survive. "

Now, as soon as they heard that they could lead the rescue, everyone immediately became active.

"Does the shade count? When I came in just now, I was looking. Some places were always under cover," Liu Jianfeng said.

Fang Huai frowned: "...let's just forget it."

An old sergeant from the [-]st Squadron also spoke up: "I think I asked them for a map of the distribution of underground water pipes. In such a big earthquake, many underground water pipes must have burst. If they are buried nearby, if you are aware of the crisis, There may be access to large water sources and storage.

This pipeline allows two teams to search along the line and only look for the pipeline break. If the distance is further away, there is no need and the chance is slim. "

When Fang Huai heard this, he nodded immediately: "Agree, then now there are two groups: the vegetable market, the water plant, and the pipeline. There are 6 groups left."

These words are equivalent to rejecting Liu Jianfeng's "shady place".

Fang Huai was too lazy to complain. A cool place could isolate the air temperature. How could he go four days without drinking water?

Plus, there are so many shady spots!

"Supermarket, convenience store!" Hao Chengbin said.

"Tsk." Fang Huai thought for a while: "This is okay, but... I just saw that there are many people looting those places. I think those places should have been taken over by the government and the government when Beichuan is short of supplies. The victims took turns to climb over."

"Canteens, canteens in various places, and restaurants also have a lot of vegetables and water." It was Wen Jinsong who spoke this time.

Fang Huai's eyes lit up: "This is feasible! These places are worth searching with three teams!"

Everyone looked strange when they saw the two talking.

Especially for Wen Jinsong, those in the Second Squadron didn't know what Fang Huai's attitude was, but those in the First Squadron knew it clearly.

At first he was disdainful, but later he was angry. As Fang Huai's reputation gradually grew, more and more people felt that Fang Huai could be promoted. When he heard people discussing Fang Huai's name, he turned around and left.

The news about Fang Huai provoking Wen Jinsong also spread.

The number of firefighting promotion positions is limited, so it can be said that there is only one person but no one.

The rise of Fang Huai should be the biggest blow to Wen Jinsong, especially since Fang Huai was entrusted with an important task this time. Everyone felt that Wen Jinsong almost didn't have to think about it.

But at this time, he actually took the initiative to help with ideas.

In the past few days, Wen Jinsong's performance has also been very hard, and he has really shown the strength that a backbone of a special service squadron should have.

Many people feel that he has changed and become more active.

Did such a sudden earthquake awaken some hearts that had been sleeping for a long time?
There must be.

Fang Huai didn't think too much.

All Chinese people are responsible for this kind of thing, not to mention that he is still a soldier.

Seeing that there was no sound from everyone, Fang Huai did not hesitate anymore and arranged directly:
"Okay, now there are three groups left. If there are no other opinions, the remaining people will go along the street to inquire and search and rescue, ask about all places where there may be water sources, and check for any gaps.

The two squadron secretaries will be responsible for the grouping. Director Cao, I will contact the frontline headquarters to explain the plan and take care of the important people here. "

Cao Yi smiled half-heartedly and said, "Aren't you in that row? Vice Captain Fang."

Fang Huai stood upright and said:

"That's necessary. When I go to get the perfect man, I will be a small private. Everything is up to you!"

"Sensible." Cao Yi also made a rare joke: "When I get back, I will make you deputy secretary."

(I bought a puppy today. It was so irritable and barked for several hours. I couldn’t settle down to write a book all day. I wasted time. I’m sorry.)
