Chapter 330 Retreat in frustration
  The soaring red color forced Fang Huai to take a detour.

The mountain was in the shape of a staircase. When he reached the platform level, Fang Huai's heart trembled.

This red is different from the yellow-tinged fire red just now. It should be flaming red.

The mountain fire was really terrifying. It was just a gust of wind, and it had only lasted ten minutes. It was like wine being cooked into a hot pot, and the roaring fire was trying desperately to break out of the pot.

The flames have now reached a height of seven or eight meters. The platform is the edge of the pot, and there are combustibles everywhere next to it.
  It's a pity that they are not chefs who can tip the big pot of mountains. Even the only water curtain pot lid in their hands is a very small one and cannot cover the flames at all.

Everyone has retreated to the back edge of the mountain bald platform. Fortunately, there is this bare platform with only some broken leaves and twigs to burn. In addition, Zhao Jincheng is in the front row holding a water gun to his face, standing with the others. Holding a shovel on the side, he frantically shoveled up the sand and pushed it downwards, and finally managed to stop the spread.

Zhao Jincheng's breathing mask was attached, and his body was covered in flames, but he was holding the only gun. Once the fire couldn't suppress it, he rushed across the platform, even if they could retreat from the side. But the vast tracts of forest above are about to be lost.

"Squad leader! You've been in charge for so long, let me do it!"

Song Lin went up to grab Zhao Jincheng's water gun, but Zhao Jincheng threw him away.

"Get out of the way! I'm the monitor! It's not your turn yet! Go behind and shovel the dirt!"

Seeing this, Fang Huai rushed behind them, two steps at a time, and pulled them back a little. He looked back and saw that the people with the wind-powered fire extinguishers were back. After heaving a sigh of relief, he shouted loudly. roared:

"Where's the wind fire extinguisher? Why are you running to the back?"

"It's windy! We must come up!" Hu Hongzhi said innocently.

Fang Huai said speechlessly: "I didn't tell you to go down! What are you shoveling? Come to me with a wind-powered fire extinguisher! It's the wind in the mountains, but isn't the wind in your hands?

The backpack blower can even blow bricks, blowing fire! Wind and water, alternate cover! understand! "

The members of the Second Squadron are very skilled in urban fire-fighting equipment, but their ability to control forest fire-fighting equipment is still too poor.

The few who came up were a little stunned, but when they heard this, they came back to their senses. They immediately put on their air breathing masks and restarted the wind-powered fire extinguisher.

"Da da da da."

The engine was pulled.

"Wu..."

Several people rushed up with hair dryers and stood in a row according to Fang Huai's arrangement. The huge blowing force of the wind actually blew the fire back, giving Zhao Jincheng a safe place to stay.

Some nearby fire sources were immediately blown down by the wind. The platform, which was originally a layer of soil, was completely light. One of the three elements of combustion was missing, and the flames returned to the bottom of the platform again.

The soldiers' motivation suddenly increased, and they started cleaning the platform with a hair dryer.

They have doused in fire, been exposed to rain, and resisted earthquakes, but they have never fought against the wind like this.

When Fang Huai saw this, he also let go of Zhao Jincheng and yelled at several people:
  "Are you kidding? It's not like the whole mountain is on fire. What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten all your equipment?
  A wind speed of more than 32.4 meters per second is considered a hurricane, and the wind speed of a wind fire extinguisher can reach [-] meters per second. If the wind speed is stronger, we can control the direction of the entire wildfire! "

Fang Huai took out the walkie-talkie as he spoke.

"All the hair dryers at the bottom of the mountain, come up! Quick!"

"Sss..." Zhao Jincheng in front shook his hand, handed the water gun back to Fang Huai, and said, "Hold it for a while!"

Fang Huai froze for a moment.

Even Zhao Jincheng, a tough guy, can't stand it?
  However, when Fang Huai saw him taking off his hat and mask, his face was already wet, and the sweat seemed to have washed his face.

I couldn't help but asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, just hold on to the fire!" Zhao Jincheng said while picking up his sleeves.

What was exposed was a red arm with several large blisters on it.

Fang Huai swallowed.

This Lao Deng, even though he was permed like this, didn’t even scream!
  "Go to the back and rest!" Fang Huai said, carefully avoiding his burned arm and cooling his back with water.

Blisters cannot be touched with water as they may become infected.

But the surrounding temperature was too high. Zhao Jincheng's whole body was smoking and he couldn't cool down.

Fang Huai stood on the burned land and felt the heat rising into his helmet from bottom to top. Even he couldn't bear it, so he put on an air breathing mask.

Damn it, this mountain wants to use me to smoke bacon.

That is to say, those of them wearing fire-fighting combat uniforms are on top. If it is the forest fire brigade, the thin combat uniforms they are wearing cannot withstand the fire at all.

After taking over the water gun, Fang Huai no longer felt that the 40 small water gun was useful.

Although the impact of this small stream of water is not bad, it is just a direct water gun and cannot hit flowers. The water rushes into the fire and no one knows where it goes. He can only keep shooting left and right.

Moreover, when the fire came up, a section of water hose that was originally hidden in the ground was roasted by the open flame. Seeing that it was in danger, Fang Huai could only take the time to water the surface of the hose from time to time to prevent it from being roasted.

The water needs to be large.

Damn it, where is my Italian cannon?

Give me 80 mouthfuls! I want a water cannon!
  ...

Fortunately, there was a gust of wind and gradually died down, and I saw that the momentum of the flames that was fanning upwards was reduced.

However, the sequelae caused by the gust of wind just now are the most terrifying.

The mountain fires in the surrounding area gradually started to burn.

Under the dark night sky, some fires ignited by flying fires and hidden under the vegetation were particularly obvious.

Fang Huai looked at all this with a feeling of loss.

Just an unexpected gust of wind disrupted all his plans. Now if there is another wind, the surrounding fires may be fatal.

Cao Yi saw that something was wrong and started shouting: "Retreat! Let it burn! We must go down the mountain! If the surroundings are on fire, we will have no way to run after a while!"

Fang Huai couldn't help but look up at the sky, trying to judge the wind strength.

But he could only see the nearby clouds, which did not move much. Those distant clouds in the dark night were no longer clear, and even with his eyesight, he could not detect them.

I searched all the options in my mind, but could only come up with the last stubborn sentence:

"The special duty class and the rescue class will clean up the flammable materials along this platform and try to preserve this natural isolation zone! We only have 15 minutes! After 15 minutes, we will retreat down the mountain!"

When the soldiers around him heard what Fang Huai said, they knew they had no chance to counterattack, so they could only pick up their shovels and quickly go to the side.

The most unwilling person is Zhao Jincheng.

He risked his life to protect this high platform. Looking at the fire at the bottom of the mountain, he was unwilling to give up and said:
  "Can dry powder fire extinguishing bombs be used? One bomb can blow up two or three square meters! There are more than a dozen on the No. [-] car. Let them send some fire extinguishing bombs up and blow up this fire!"

When Fang Huai heard this, he took a step forward and vented his firepower on a crown fire, and then said helplessly:
  "That thing, I haven't lost in exercises, and I haven't won in actual combat! It's so easy to use. Can I save a dozen of them? The dry powder can't lower the temperature. Is it useful to temporarily suppress the fire? It will re-ignite in a few minutes. !”

Fighting fires in high mountains is difficult everywhere.

...

twenty minutes.

The dozen or so headlights on the platform above were all on.

The retreat time had passed, and the soldiers were still at work, sweeping away frantically with shovels or with their hands.

Even Cao Yi, who was generally inexperienced, was frantically plowing the ground and eradicating weeds with a pickaxe.

It's not just Zhao Jincheng who is unwilling.

No one present was willing to retreat.

However, when several open fires at the foot of the mountain started to burn brighter and brighter, Fang Huai could only shout seriously:

"Stop it! Listen to the order! Pack up your things and retreat!"

Everyone held the shovels in their hands, froze, and turned to look at him.

Fang Huai glared: "What are you looking at? I have a great future and I don't want to be a barbecue here!"

Very helpless.

With this being the squadron's first defeat this year, everyone took a detour and went down the mountain, cursing.

"Damn it, if you give me a 65mm water gun, I can put out this fire by myself!"

"Fart, your gun has a cheat device, unlimited bullets? Besides, can you handle the pressure on such a high mountain?"

"You want a gun, and I want a fucking cannon!"

Fang Huai waved his hand, stopped, pointed to a few scattered fire spots, and said: "Stop arguing! We don't have enough equipment. We will attack the small ones instead of the big ones. We will go down to check the road in a while and allocate them to those places with small fires." beated!"

"Okay!" The soldiers agreed one after another.

When everyone reached below the fire surface, a long isolation belt down the peak had been cleared by the forest fire brigade and the volunteer fire brigade who came to support.

However, God did not give them enough time to form an encirclement. Even if they wanted to set fire and counterattack, they would not be able to achieve it. Counterattacking at will will only make the fire burn bigger and bigger.

"Is it already burning?"

Captain Wang saw them coming down and knew that the position above had been abandoned. The disappointment on his face was clearly visible.

But, there was no blame.

They have put out wildfires for many years, and naturally know that once the fire gets big, in most cases, their efforts will be in vain. Even if the isolation zone is successfully created, it may be breached.

Fang Huai stepped forward and said: "The fire line has not been broken through yet! Call the Meteorological Bureau now! If they come quickly, they will still have time!"

"Okay, okay, let me urge you again!" Captain Wang hurried aside helplessly and found a place with good signal to make a call.

Fang Huai also gathered the people from the Second Squadron and began to arrange for several areas that were ignited by flying fire:
  "Each class forms a team! Class one and two have three fire extinguishers, one backpack type and two portable ones! Class three and four have one fire extinguisher of each type. Others have shovels, fences and rubber torches. Cooperate!

I won't go up. I'll help you keep an eye on the situation here. Class [-] will be led by Captain Hao for the time being!

Be sure to put out the fire as quickly as possible, and remember not to separate the personnel. Each squad leader must ensure that every squad member cannot leave the sight. If there is danger, evacuate here as quickly as possible! "

"Yes!"

The sentiment is indignant.

Seeing that everyone was a little too excited, Cao Yi thought for a while and comforted:

"Don't think we have failed. This is a wildfire, and it changes rapidly! It is also the most difficult fire to put out! Otherwise, why would the country set up a special forest force? We are urban fire fighters, not specialized in putting out wildfires. Don't be impulsive when encountering a fire! If nothing can be done, safely evacuating is victory!"

Everyone was holding a ball of fire in their hearts, which was cooled down by Cao Yi's words.

However, there was no delay in hand, and he immediately started to divide the equipment, and quickly found the way up the mountain from both sides.

Captain Wang is also back now.

"An hour and a half! They will leave from the city in twenty minutes, but the distance is quite far. If we persist for another hour and a half, they will definitely arrive before ten o'clock!"
