They were all reborn and became firefighters again?

Chapter 505: Leaders everywhere!

The county fire department also arrived.

The alarm they received at 3:40 was from the local squadron again, and the arrival time was later than that of the second squadron.

According to Captain Liu, who led the team, the road here was full of cars turning around and going back. The road was narrow and blocked. On the 70-kilometer road from the county, it took a fire truck with its siren on to let others give way. It took half an hour to get here, and it took more than an hour of stepping on rocks to turn over.

Even a professional fire brigade would have such a hard time getting there, as one can imagine the road conditions.

Captain Liu learned about Fang Huai's identity, that he also had a helicopter, and that they were a professional rescue team, so he immediately recognized Fang Huai's leadership.

The new commander Fang Huai ordered to use more than a dozen life detectors of various types on hand to search the periphery first, looking for people with a high probability of survival in the shallow coverage.

The easy ones come first and then the difficult ones, the wounded come first and then the corpses, and the serious injuries come first and then the minor injuries.

Some nearby villagers, as well as Zhao Jincheng and Wang Peng, were taken out by a refueling helicopter and guarded outside the intersection where the road was blocked by huge rocks to prevent other villagers from coming.

PM, 6:52.

"found one!"

"Wang! Wang!"

"I also found one here! Come two people! Help lift it!"

"Come here, can you save me?"

"died."

"The ones here are also dead."

Within half an hour after Fang Huai took over, more and more people gathered here.

Two bodies were found that were not buried deeply outside the collapse.

Fellow villagers and township government staff helped carry the battered and bloody body, and found a nearby, more stable hillside to place it.

The bolder ones used paper to help the victims wipe the blood on their faces, while the timid ones did not leave and stood beside them, lamenting softly.

One person was killed and two people were killed. To the news, they are just numbers, but to the fellow villagers, they are the gradually deserted market, the white cloth they see when passing by a house, the crying they hear, and the long-lasting sad atmosphere.

Families collapsed one after another, and the places where many people in the village ate were also destroyed.

"This mine has been dug since the Republic of China. How come it collapsed at this time?"

"I've been digging for over 80 years, Grandpa Mountain God, I can't stand it anymore."

"Hey, this poor baby has slender eyes. He doesn't look like someone from the mine. He is well-educated."

Listening to these sighs, Fang Huai felt some sadness in his heart, which was inextricably aroused as if surrounded by the old priest's spell.

Those in Chongqing are all from my hometown.

But soon, Fang Huai saw those people who were risking their way on the rocky beach not far away. He came to his senses again and devoted himself to commanding the surroundings. He took the walkie-talkie and said:

"Chang Ming Jiang Fang! Have you started cooking the rice? More and more people are coming, please cook more rice!"

"He Zhijun! Don't go there! Search the outside first! The stone and soil over there are so thick, you can't find anything buried underneath! Wait for the excavator to come!"

"Squad Leader Hao! Assign the fellow villagers and people from the township government who are here to help! Bring a few of those responsible for the search. Keep an eye on it, it's too messy here!"

After a while, Zhao Jincheng's voice came from the intercom.

"Form formation, people from the armed police organized by the county government here in Wulong are here. Do we want a helicopter to help send them in?"

"Contact Captain Liu and ask him if he has refueled."

"I can't make any calls! There's no signal!"

"Borrow them a China Unicom mobile phone to make a call! Have you asked the villagers and miners' families that you asked?"

"There are two miners' families, but I asked and they all have mobile phones!"

"Look again!"

Fang Huai roared.

After testing just now, there should be problems with the mobile and telecommunications base stations here, and only China Unicom mobile phones can get through.

When Fang Huai came here, he knew at the first glance that a landslide of this scale would cover the people on the ground with a very small chance of survival. The ones who had the greatest hope were undoubtedly the villagers in the surrounding houses and the miners underground. .

But half of the mountain was pressed down, and the ground was buried an unknown number of meters thick. It was impossible to dig it manually, and the specific location of the mine could not be found. There were still large cracks visible to the naked eye, and it could collapse again at any time, let alone Dare to let people dig under the mountain.

Currently the most likely way to contact them is via mobile phone.

But mobile phones are expensive these days, and not many miners have mobile phones. They have to be from China Unicom, and those who bring mobile phones to the mines have the chance of being continuously reduced, so they can only search and try in a large area.

Just as I was thinking, there was a roar in the distance.

"Helicopter! The helicopter is back!"

"It doesn't seem to be the original one!"

When these words were heard, Fang Huai looked up in surprise.

The result was a huge disappointment.

It was indeed not the same one, but a much smaller police helicopter.

I thought a big Russian plane was coming.

They have planes for carrying supplies and equipment, and one is enough. What is most lacking now is not planes, but excavators.

Outside, there were large rocks blocking the road everywhere, and there was no path that the excavator could go on. The excavator was flexible and could hook the soil and climb the slope, but there was nothing that could be done about the uneven roadblocks that were several meters high.

There is also a large circular pit next to it, and there is already a lot of water. It seems that if it rains again, a huge barrier lake may be formed, and the excavator will not be able to cross it.

Moreover, the barrier lake surrounding them was filling up at a rate that was unimaginable and very dangerous.

The path that Mayor Ma and the others took around them was through a mountain forest. It took them two hours to walk through the mountain forest, and it was impossible to dig through it.

In this case, it will take at least several days to fill a construction road and the golden rescue period will be completely delayed.

The most reasonable situation is that the aircraft is hoisted.

An ordinary medium-sized excavator weighs more than ten or twenty tons. Even their Z-8 can't lift it, let alone this aircraft.

The answer is yes and only: Mi 26.

Fang Huai thought and had to place his hopes on the helicopter that was coming.

"Chief Ma, please send someone to signal and let them come over!"

Someone big has arrived.

The police plane lowered the escalator, and a middle-aged man in a white police uniform slowly climbed down while being protected by two people one behind the other.

Fang Huai couldn't help but stand up straight.

Because he saw the police rank - Yi Mai San.

Although the olive branch on the police epaulette is not the highest rank and is not the same as the wheat ear in the military, the first-level police inspector is already the third level under the chief police inspector and deputy chief inspector, a proper department-level cadre.

The director should be here.

As soon as the leader landed, he looked around.

The leader's vision is different from Fang Huai's.

At first glance, he saw a few farmhouses not far away that seemed to still have smoke from cooking, and said:
"This place is very dangerous. Why haven't you evacuated yet? Are you cooking?"

No one answered for a moment, everyone looked at the local commander, Fang Huai. Fang Huai then stood upright and said:
"Report to the chief! That's not the farmers cooking! It's our people! The farmers have been taken out by us, and our cooks borrowed their cooking stoves to cook for the rescuers!"

The leader was surprised and said, "Oh? The logistics have been arranged?"

"Yes, Chief! But the evacuated villagers are all outside at the intersection, and there is no place to stay tonight! It is expected that some tents, quilts, and simple food will be needed for the night! However, according to the weather forecast we received, it may rain at night. It’s best for the city to arrange a place for them to live temporarily!”

"Oh! Good job! The road outside will be blocked soon!"

"People have been deployed to guard the intersection! However, there are still cars driving this way with unknown conditions. It is recommended to go 15 kilometers further and let the traffic police comrades set up a traffic jam!"

"Yes." The leader nodded. Hearing that the county leaders here still had no arrangements to enter the site, and the road traffic had completely failed, he hurriedly dispatched a helicopter to come from the city bureau more than 150 kilometers away. He didn't expect to arrive here. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Seeing this, he said with satisfaction:
"Who is in charge here now?"

"Report, me!" Fang Huai said.

The leader looked at Fang Huai's emergency rescue suit and said, "Oh, how is the search and rescue situation?"

"Report! Now there is a risk of secondary collapse at the bottom of the mountain, and search and rescue is impossible. According to the priority of search and rescue, we are now searching for the most likely survivors in shallow burial areas on the outside! However, only two victims who have lost signs of life have been found! "

Fang Huai answered fluently.

The leader was also a little surprised. He looked young, but he arranged the scene in an orderly manner, not bad!

"Comrade, are you a fire fighter in the county?"

Captain Liu next to him finally spoke: "Report to the chief! I am Liu Qilong, captain of the county fire squadron! They are comrades from the Guizhou Fire Department who came for reinforcements! Comrade Fang Huai is a well-known and outstanding firefighting cadre in our country, so he is in command here!"

"Oh! They are comrades from Guizhou! Did you arrive so quickly?"

"Report! We are the first firefighting squadron in the country equipped with helicopters. Our main mission is disaster reinforcement. Mobility is the first guarantee!"

After Fang Huai finished speaking, the leader's expression became obviously more polite. He saluted Fang Huai, stretched out his hand and said:
"Well done, Comrade Fang Huai, thank you!"

The situation in Chongqing was complicated, and Fang Huai had no intention of currying favor with the leader. He saluted, shook hands with the leader, and immediately got to the point:
"Leader, it is difficult for an excavator to enter here now. As time goes by, the surrounding ravines may form lakes, making transportation more difficult. We need to immediately apply to the country for Mi-26 reinforcements and quickly transport the excavator. First, search and rescue , The second is to deal with the barrier lake that is about to form around us, otherwise when the water level rises, we will not even have a place to stay under our feet! The search and rescue work will be even more difficult!"

"Oh." The leader listened and looked at the 100-meter-deep col where water had accumulated for several meters. He nodded and said:

"This is indeed a problem! But what is the Mi-26 you are talking about?"

Fang Huai frowned when he saw the natural expression on the leader's face.

This is a barrier lake! How could it be such an understatement?

"Leader, don't you know Mi-26? It's Tangjiashan."

As Fang Huai spoke, his words suddenly stopped.

yes! The Mi-26 transport aircraft that made great achievements in Tangjiashan in its previous life was not used because it solved the problem.

But now the barrier lake, which should have become famous due to the major earthquake, and which makes people feel ashamed after hearing about it, does not have the terrifying reputation it had in its previous life.

Tsk.

The butterfly effect finally hit me.

Thinking of this, Fang Huai became calmer and explained:
"Mi-26 is a heavy-duty transport helicopter developed by Russia, with a load capacity of 20-36 tons! It is also the only helicopter currently capable of transporting excavators! There are currently 3 in our country! One is rented for a long time by Feilong Professional Airlines, and there are two The aircraft was used to reinforce China after our country communicated with Russia during the earthquake last year. It is now in the Aviation Industry Corporation of China!
Also, leader, because barrier lakes are often located under mountains, once it rains, water from the surrounding mountains will flow into them. The water storage area is very large, and there is no control over its direction or valves. The water storage speed is quite amazing. You see now When the water level reaches four or five meters, maybe after a heavy rain, it will grow ten meters taller!
Helicopter transportation takes time, so this problem must be reported immediately! "

The leader listened and began to look at the surrounding situation again, his face gradually becoming serious.

This is the largest landslide in Chongqing's history. He is also a criminal investigator, not a rescue professional. He did not expect that there would be such an urgent secondary disaster here.

"Comrade Fang Huai, your message came very timely! Mayor Wang has left the city at five o'clock and should arrive soon! Director Fu should be arriving soon too. I will tell them your opinion!"

Director Fu, Fang Huai knew, was the chief of Chongqing Firefighting and also served as the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Fang Huai also noticed that this person was a layman in rescue, so he raised his hand and said to the farmhouse not far away:
"Then why don't you go there first? The houses over there are relatively safe! I think they can be used as on-site command headquarters! Our squadron is the fire department's national pilot squadron for professional rescue. The on-site arrangements here are Please trust us and leave it to us! If there is any situation, I will report it as soon as possible!”

These words are not far from "Director, you go to rest first", but there are more steps like "please trust me" and "report if there is any situation".

The director really wanted to ask what level Fang Huai was.

However, he really didn't know much about rescue, and he came too quickly, and his team of experts didn't arrive either. It was quite embarrassing to stand here and watch Fang Huai give orders, so he accepted the step with a smile.

"Okay! Comrade Fang Huai, thank you for your hard work! Let's go take a look!"

Fang Huai stood at attention and saluted.

"Yes, please don't worry, leader!"

The sky gradually fades away.

The news is mixed.

The effect of the peripheral search and rescue was obvious. Two seriously injured and unconscious people were found under a large wooden board next to a buried house. They were immediately sent by helicopter to the waiting ambulance at the intersection outside. When the helicopter arrived there, Fang Huai could hear it. There were excited shouts from a group of villagers a few hundred meters away.

There are two alive, that is hope!
But four people died in that house.

Their hands and feet were attached to each other, probably because they wanted to escape from the house together, but they didn't escape.

It was simply luck that those two people survived, being right in the middle of the gap created by the collision of two large wooden boards.

The entire Chongqing rescue force is gathering here. More and more people are arriving here, and the scale is gradually reaching thousands.

The first is the county government and the county’s armed police.

Followed by the fire brigade coming from next door for reinforcements.

The Armed Police Hydropower Unit also came.

Fang Huai arranged for the helicopter to pick them up here after refueling, and then asked the squadron to take them and assign them tasks.

In fact, everyone's first reaction when arriving at the scene was to ask where the headquarters was and where the leaders were.

But after the leaders who led the team went to the private house, they received instructions from the top leader here, the director of the municipal bureau: to work according to the arrangements of Comrade Fang Huai, the on-site commander he appointed.

Fang Huai's identity as the on-site commander became the one appointed by the director, so the orderly work before and after the scene became the orderly arrangement of the bureau.

Fang Huai did not disappoint his leaders. While arranging search and rescue, he had people dig out all the uneven areas in the nearby highlands to form a platform to place equipment and tents.

Hot meals were brought out from the farmhouse, the generator was turned on, and bright bright lights illuminated the entire valley. Everyone was divided into groups, and this place gradually became a powerful rescue site.

Fang Huai stood high above the bright lights, holding a loudspeaker and giving orders to the people below:
"Safety officer! Use a strong flashlight to pay attention to changes in cracks in the mountain at any time!"

"Response team! Are the city's geological experts here?"

"Communications team, please ask, when will the explosives and demolition crews arrive?"

Every soldier in the second squadron below has become a team leader, and I feel very happy.

He has to be our captain! When it comes to Chongqing rescue, so many units are under our command!

There are leaders everywhere!

However, for such a big disaster, the leaders who arrived gradually escalated.

The real leader has arrived.

"Commander Fang! The mayor is already at the intersection outside. Let the director's police aircraft go out to pick him up!"

Fang Huai raised his hand and looked at the time, 7:40.

Five hours have passed since the golden rescue time.

After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Let our straight 8 pick up the mayor!"
