The more Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran thought about it, the more he became afraid. If it hadn't been for Wang Ke tonight, what would have happened to the more than 20 officers and soldiers at the scene tonight? And if Tan Xiaoqing, deputy driver's squad leader, hadn't risked his life to save Wang Ke, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Is this soldier a human or a god?
He is courageous and alert when rescuing people, and is not afraid of danger at all.
His low-key and indifferent attitude after rescuing people seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Apart from helping Tan Xiaoqing, the deputy squad leader of the driver's squad, to wrap himself up in a quilt, he then went to pick up cold-warming supplies and food in the ruins with his comrades, and never looked back to show his merit.
After more than an hour of tossing, the place returned to calm.
Wang Ke's pony lantern worked. More than 20 people gathered next to the warehouse with this pony lantern hanging on the clothes drying rack.
"The intensity of this earthquake is not great, but judging from our house, the people around us will definitely suffer losses. Deputy company commander, what do you think we should do?" Command platoon leader Hu Zhijun patted his cotton-padded clothes and asked Deputy company commander Lu Zeran.
The vehicles will definitely not be able to drive, and you will definitely get lost if you go out now, but the interests of the people cannot be ignored.
"Deputy company commander, 72 hours after the earthquake is the golden rescue time, make up your mind!" Wang Ke interjected from the side.
Deputy company commander Lu Zeran looked at the childish recruit in front of him and said, "Okay, comrades, we will leave one person on duty. The other comrades will follow me."
"Deputy company commander, let me lead the way! I have been to the nearest village a few kilometers away from us." Wang Ke was talking about the village where he bought eggs. Nowadays, there are snowmobiles. As long as you step on the snowmobile ruts, you will not fall into them.
"Call squad leader, leave one person in your squad who can cook. The other comrades will bring their tools and set off." Platoon leader Hu Zhijun gave the order.
A group of people, the snowmobile opened the road in front. Wang Ke stood on the pedal next to the cab, holding the rearview mirror of the snowmobile, directing the vehicle to advance in the field, followed by more than 20 people carrying various tools. officers and soldiers and the health worker Yu Deben carrying a medicine box.
Before five o'clock in the morning, they arrived at this village called Dawangzhuang.
Before entering the village, I saw the ruins of the village. The disaster was as expected. Although the intensity was not great, some villagers' houses still collapsed. The villagers were trying to save themselves. The houses in Baiyangdian area were different from other places with herringbone roofs. They were basically flat. On the roof of the house, the beams are put up, mats are laid, and a thick layer of cement is applied to the roof.
Therefore, if there is no fire kang when this kind of roof collapses, the damage will be quite serious.
Wang Ke looked at the entrance of the village and saw at a glance that the house of the little girl who gave him the feather shuttlecock that day had been razed to the ground. There were people in other houses trying to save themselves, but her house was silent.
"Platoon leader, let's divide into groups, with three people in each group, to spread out for disaster relief?" Wang Ke suggested to the commanding platoon leader Hu Zhijun.
"Okay, as Wang Ke suggested, each squad will be divided into two groups and start search and rescue immediately."
When Yue Yang heard this, he immediately said: "Da Guo, Xiao Li, you are in one group, and the others are with Wang Ke."
Wang Ke had no time to speak and quickly greeted the other two people, "Let's go there." He was referring to the little girl's home.
When I arrived in front of the house, I found that the entire roof of the three main houses facing north and south was lying on the ground, with one side sticking up. Except for the surrounding low courtyard walls and the chicken coop and pig pen built on one side, nothing else remains.
"Is there anyone? Is anyone alive?" Wang Ke lay on the raised roof and shouted inside.
After not hearing any movement inside for a long time, Wang Ke stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a very weak childish voice inside: "Uncle, please save us."
Someone asked, "Can there be movement inside?" Wang Ke continued to shout.
"We were pinned down and couldn't move."
"Save people quickly, there are people alive below." As soon as Wang Ke said, everyone immediately started to tear down the roof. The shovel he brought didn't work at all. Wang Ke threw away the shovel and found a stick to tear down the roof with great difficulty. He tore it apart with his hands and kicked it with his feet. After more than ten minutes, he finally dug out a hole and lay at the entrance of the hole. I vaguely heard voices inside.
"I'll go in, and you guys will support me outside." After saying that, Wang Ke took off his cotton-padded clothes and got into the small hole.
The space inside is very narrow, and there is no light. You have to touch around with your hands.
Wang Ke crawled forward with difficulty, climbed out three or two meters, and could no longer climb. Two cross-cut concrete beams lay in front of him, and a painful sound came from inside. "Kid, are you still there?"
"Here, uncle, I'm so cold." Hearing the voice not far away, Wang Ke turned up and squeezed forward several dozen centimeters from the concrete beam, and finally reached a cold body with his hand.
"Kid, is this you?"
"It wasn't me, you didn't touch me," the child was saying.
Wang Ke pushed it in all directions with his hands, but it couldn't be pushed at all. The entire roof weighed several thousand kilograms. On the left side is the kang. When I touch back, I accidentally touch a hole, which is the kang hole. Wang Ke seemed to see hope. If he used this hole, he could get close. So he turned back and shouted outside: "Go and ask for reinforcements. There are people alive down here."
After hearing the responses from his comrades, Wang Ke changed his posture and groped around on the ground and around with his hands to see if he could find any tools? Soon, he touched a shoe, put it down, and continued to touch forward. He touched a spatula, which made him very happy. This was a "life-saving spatula", and he began to use the spatula with difficulty. Cutting through the hole, he finally took out a brick, and then took out the second, and the third... His body was finally able to go in sideways. Wang Ke used his hands and feet to push forward more than one meter at a time. Finally, under the cold body, he touched one of the little girl's hands.
"Kid, crawl towards uncle."
"Uncle, I'm bored, you drag me."
"Okay, I'll pull you, and you crawl over here as hard as you can. Come on, let me count, one, two, three!" The little girl finally moved. Wang Ke quickly stepped back. The little girl was cold all over and was only wearing a singlet. Gown.
"Wang Ke, Wang Ke, can you hear me? We are here!" Platoon leader Hu Zhijun shouted from the entrance of the cave.
"Platoon leader, I'll take out one. Come on, is there a coat outside?"
As Wang Ke said this, he stepped back. His back and neck seemed to be scratched by something. He couldn't care about anything. He took another step back and was able to turn around, revealing a space and seeing the bright sky.
"Take it from the top." Wang Ke handed the little girl out.
"Uncle, if you go in, just my father and mother, and my brother!"
Ah, there are three more people inside. Wang Ke realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately said to the platoon leader: "Platoon leader, I will go in and knock inside to identify the location, and then you dig holes from above."
"Okay, Wang Ke, please pay attention to your safety."
Wang Ke continued to crawl inside, climbed to the kang hole just now, touched the spatula, and started pounding it against the roof. Soon, there was a knocking sound on the roof.
Wang Ke shrank to the side and continued to expand the kang hole with a spatula and extend it forward.
On the side of the head, the sound of "expanding, expanding, expanding" hitting and breaking came one after another.
"Is there anyone in there?"
Wang Ke shouted several times in succession, but no one responded.
The hole in the kang got bigger and bigger, and Wang Ke could already bend over and squat down.
A hole was also exposed on the top of the head, and a face was seen sticking up, "Wang Ke, I am the deputy company commander, are you down there?"
"I'm here, I'm here."
"Is this location okay?"
"This position is okay, but hurry up, the people inside may not be able to hold on." Wang Ke looked deeper through the light leaking from the hole, and he saw a man lying there with his bare back, and there seemed to be some skin underneath. There was a woman wearing a single coat, and the woman was already frozen. Ikko didn't know whether it was a quilt or a cotton coat. Wang Ke thought that this man must be the father of the little girl just now. He protected his woman and child under him at the last moment of his life.
The hole on the side of the head got bigger and bigger, and finally someone could get out. But if the two intersecting cement beams are not demolished, it will be impossible to save the man and the woman beneath him, and there should be a child.
what to do? what to do?
Wang Ke's mind is spinning rapidly. Time waits for no one. He will not be rescued for a while in the ice and snow. He will freeze to death. Just the moment he came down, his hands and feet were numb from the cold. If it weren't for the burning in his body, Pill, it's already stiff now.
"Deputy company commander, are our snowmobiles here?"
"Yes, do you want to be towed by a snowmobile?"
"You can give it a try."
"Then you have to come out."
"No, I'm safe down here. I need someone to direct me down there."
"Okay, you have to make sure it's safe."
After the deputy company commander finished his explanation, within a few minutes there was the roar of the snowmobile, and then a wire rope was thrown down. Wang Ke fumbled and tied the wire rope to the cement beam.
"Deputy company commander, let the car pull up gently. If there is a gap, I can pass by."
"Okay, you are commanding from below. Let's start now."
"Okay, pull, pull, pull...stop!"
The entire roof was dragged out by the snowmobile. Wang Ke stood up and quickly got in. The man had no breathing or pulse. Lifting him open, he found that the woman beneath him had a broken leg. He touched her face with his hands and was still breathing weakly. He picked her up with all his strength and dragged her towards the kang hole. Finally, he dragged her over and lifted her above his head. The hole is lifted up.
"Wang Ke, go on." Deputy company commander Lu Zeran took off his cotton-padded jacket and threw it down.
Wang Ke thought for a moment, put it aside, and crawled over again. This time he finally found a three or four-year-old child under a quilt, but he was also not breathing. He dragged it out and used the cotton-padded clothes of Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran. Wrapped and handed out.
"Deputy company commander, there is another person inside, but he is no longer alive."
"You come up, let's go down." With that, the deputy company commander jumped down from the hole in the roof, and then another soldier came down. The three of them worked together to get the dead male host out.
This is the only household in Dawangzhuang that lost two relatives in this earthquake, but the little girl and her mother were successfully rescued!
Under the leadership of deputy company commander Lu Zeran and command platoon leader Hu Zhijun, no one of the 24 members of the command platoon was injured or killed. They also took the initiative to participate in local earthquake relief and successfully rescued two people.
A month later, the division party committee decided to award third-class collective merit to the artillery company command platoon, and third-class individual merit to deputy company commander Lu Zeran and command platoon leader Hu Zhijun, who first saved the entire platoon and then the deputy squad leader of the driver squad. Tan Xiaoqing and Wang Ke, who rescued two people stationed in Dawangzhuang, were awarded second-class meritorious service, once again breaking the record of twice a year for new recruits in peacetime.
