Chapter 47: Emergency Rescue (1)

  We gathered with our backpacks, waistbands and canteen bags as required by Lianzhang.

  We stood in line, each person holding a working tool "shovel" in their hand.

  Lian Chang stood in front of us facing our ranks.

  At this time, we found that there was still a lieutenant standing beside Lian Chang.

  "Let me introduce him to everyone, this is our instructor Ji Bin beside me," said Lian Chang.

  So this is the instructor we've never met.

  "After the instructor finished bowing to us, he said: 'Comrades, I'm really sorry to everyone. It's already been almost 7 months since you started, and I'm only meeting with you all now. Because of work requirements, when I was still on vacation, my superiors ordered me to go to XX point for collective training and study. That's why I'm only meeting with you all now.'"

  After the instructor finished explaining, Captain Lian began to give us this mission.

  After getting on the bus, we were discussing whether this was a drill or a real emergency.

  After arriving at the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander still reported that XX city was severely affected, but this time the city name had been changed to B city.

  We all thought it was just another drill.

  When the direction of the vehicle was not towards our troops, we were stunned.

  "It's really a disaster relief."

  Yes.

  This time, we can't sit still.

  It really turned out to be an emergency situation.

  At this time we couldn't calm down in B city, which is a bit far from our SS.

  Dozens of military vehicles formed a convoy and moved forward, with one vehicle leading the way at the front.

  All the way, the leading off-road military vehicle kept sounding a long warning tone.

  All the way, our convoy rushed through several red lights.

  Even traffic police began to ensure our convoy's safety.

  The citizens of SS City curiously looked on from the sidelines.

  At this time, the battalion commander and political commissar's vehicle passed by our new company's several military trucks.

  "Attention ahead, attention! There is a convoy behind."

  The alarm sounded all the way.

  When the convoy drove onto the highway, we confirmed that this was not a drill and we were really going to B City for disaster relief.

  After our fleet stopped at the highway entrance, the team leader began to hang banners on the truck we were riding in.

  One banner reads: "Floods are merciless but people have feelings." The other banner reads: "Soldiers and civilians are one family like fish and water."

  The long walkie-talkie came with Lianchang and instructor's voice.

  Lian Chang made an announcement about this task for us.

  It turned out that when Hu Xingwei and I were on duty, a sudden danger occurred in City B. Our mission would be to go to Xinhu County in City B for disaster relief, where water and electricity have been cut off.

  On the highway, the instructor asked us through the intercom to hurry up and sleep, as when we arrive at the disaster area, our sleeping time may be reduced, or even have no time to rest.

  We leaned on each other and forced ourselves to sleep.

  I couldn't help but think of it, B city is very close to my hometown PN city, I don't know if PN city was also affected at this time.

  At this time I really want to call home to understand the situation.

  But at this time, there was no phone call at all.

  At dawn on the same day, the convoy stopped again.

  Lianchang let Lian team's cooking class guarantee our breakfast, our breakfast is very simple, no hot food, only bread and boxed flower milk.

  I took advantage of this opportunity and ran towards the company commander who was directing.

  "Comrade company commander, I'd like to ask, B city was affected by the disaster, what about PN city?" I asked eagerly in front of the company commander.

  Lian Chang nodded and replied to me: "PN City was also affected, the friendly troops from H City have rushed overnight to PN City for disaster relief just like us."

  After hearing the news, I was worried about my parents at home.

  My home is in a small town near the sea, and once a flood occurs, my home will definitely be affected.

  After getting back on the bus, I told the class monitor about the situation at home.

  The monitor patted my shoulder and comforted me, "Xiao Bin, don't think too much, rest assured, the company commander has said that PN City already has a team like ours who rushed overnight, and PN City also has stationed troops."

  I nodded without saying anything.

  "Never mind, go to sleep."

  I leaned against Hu Xingrui's back and started forcing myself to fall asleep.

  But the more I wanted to fall asleep, the more I couldn't sleep.

  Several hours later, our fleet finally arrived in City B.

  In B City's urban area, many troops are already rushing to rescue and disaster relief.

  The scene was extremely thrilling.

  Our fleet didn't stop, we have our mission.

  Xinhu Township is our destination mission.

  When our convoy drove into the countryside, we were stopped by a landslide on the road ahead.

  There were landslides everywhere, and our convoy couldn't move forward at all.

  At this time, we were all asked to put on our backpacks, pick up our tools and assemble.

  We began to advance rapidly, and the regimental commander left behind one company of the second battalion. The task of this company was to clear a road, a road that would allow the convoy to move forward.

  The rest of our troops began to charge forward.

  We don't know how much farther ahead we can reach.

  We have been leading the way all along.

  Keep running, keep running.

  The danger ahead is getting more and more difficult.

  We must be on our guard at all times in case there is another landslide from the mountain.

  Suddenly.

  We have just moved into a new place.

  Can't move forward anymore.

  The troops behind us stopped when they saw our company stop.

  Because there is a suspension bridge in front, the bridge surface is paved with wooden boards.

  Last night's flood washed away the middle section of the wooden planks on the bridge deck.

  The battalion commander came forward and our company commander reported to him; "Battalion commander, the wooden planks on the bridge have been washed away."

  The battalion commander also saw it and at this time the battalion commander announced a method to our entire battalion.

  This method is to send a few soldiers from each company to lie on the iron lock, let other comrades in the company advance, after the last comrade of the company passes by, the last soldier lying on the iron lock advances first, until the last lying soldier safely withdraws.

  The method of the camp commander is very effective.

  Each regiment sent its comrades according to this method.

  First, we started our new relay, and we all rushed to lie on the iron lock to let our comrades pass through.

  Lian Zhang didn't let us do that, instead he shouted at the class leaders: "Quickly, you several party member class leaders come with me."

  The class leaders prevented the company commander from participating.

  My monitor took the lead and lay down on the first one, and other monitors immediately stepped on my monitor's back and lay down in a position in front.

  Lian Chang's desire to participate was also blocked.

  After the squad leaders had settled down, the company commander reported to the regimental commander: "Regimental Commander, you go first."

  "None," replied the company commander with a wave of his hand, "I'm the last one. Hurry up and arrange for your battalion's soldiers to come over."

  The company commander has said so, and it's not good for the battalion commander to ask again, but rather let us new recruits pass.

  We didn't dare, but instead shouted to the company commander and instructor: "Company Commander, Instructor, you go first."

  The instructor heard and shouted at us: "Hurry up, this is no time for mutual excuses."
