The snow in early winter is thick in one word, and it is not like the snow in a few months.
The snow in early winter is loose and thick. This is because the temperature causes the snow to be half-thawed and half-unfrozen. It not only maintains the state of snowflakes, but also is full of moisture like fresh cabbage.
Three bulldozer-like snow clearing trucks were moving side by side, their searchlights illuminating the world of ice and snow, which was exceptionally crystal clear.
The convoy lined up like a centipede winding through the mountains. The doctors, soldiers, and militiamen sitting in the car were all more irritable than the other, inexplicably irritable.
This is how people are, whatever they want to do or want to do, the hardest thing is to wait.
"You have to be careful. It's a girl's family, and your superiors are the same. It's not good to send anyone, but you have to be sent.
I heard your uncle say that the fire is very strong. You must be careful and don't rush forward foolishly. Did you hear that? "
After Wang Yanan called her home, her mother immediately contacted Yanan's uncle at the health bureau.
After learning that it was a fire, Wang Yanan's mother was so flustered that whenever she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with fire, so she kept giving instructions to the girl.
"Mom, you can do it, but others can't..." Wang Yanan looked at his colleagues who were sleeping beside him, and it was difficult to speak.
"Okay, you go to bed quickly. I also need to take a rest. I don't know how long I will be busy when I get there!"
"Hey, my family doesn't expect you to support the family with this little money. Your father and I are the only ones.
Why don't you let your uncle transfer you away from the clinical front line? It's great for girls to just sit in the office and put on makeup, so why do you have to play with knives?
Look, when you come home one day, you are so tired that you can’t straighten your waist. How old are you? "
"Okay!" Wang Yanan hung up the phone directly.
Her mother, who has worked in Wannian's office for most of her life, does not understand the thoughts of technical people or the ideals of medical people.
Her father didn't agree with it either. Who would want his girl to be as tired as a dog all day long, and his family wouldn't be able to survive.
If it weren't for the support of his uncle at home, Wang Yanan would have moved out of the house long ago.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yanan wrapped herself in the military coat issued by the hospital. As for her mother's words, she didn't even hear them.
Although the heating was on in the car, the sealing of the 120 was not very good, causing draft and air leakage.
She followed the example of some experienced doctors, hunched her neck and leaned on the back chair, and began to fall asleep. Even if she couldn't fall asleep, she needed to recharge her batteries now.
Bayin, a nurse in the operating room, is also on the rescue team. The girl recently broke up with another partner, but she is also very upset.
In the past, young girls had very simple requirements for their spouses: strong, honest, with a somewhat stable and decent job, but those who were honest did not have a good job, and those who had a good job were dishonest.
He who is honest, decent and strong doesn't like her, so the girl doesn't care much and just lives her life.
But as Zhang Fan took a flying knife trip a little further away, and came back with one million on his back, his life was immediately different.
After she bought a house and a small red Audi, men flocked to her like flies.
In the past, she would have laughed so hard, but now, no matter who she looked at, she felt that the other person was after her savings!
While applying hand oil, he said to the head nurse in the operating room next to him: "Boss, we are heading further and further into the old forest. Please apply some hand oil too.
I know the weather here very well. It's very cold. Why don't you send some oil to Zhang Yuan later? "
Her gratitude to Zhang Fan was absolutely overwhelming.
"I guess there's no chance. I don't know what the situation is." The head nurse in the operating room still closed her eyes. They were now completely surrounded by Zhang Fan.
As the convoy moved westward, the temperature became lower and lower. After passing through the river valley and entering the mountainous area, the three snow clearing trucks lined up together turned into one special snow clearing truck.
Because the snow gets thicker as we get to the mountainous areas, it is no longer possible to push. This snowplow is much larger than the other three, and its working method is also different.
During the harvest season in late summer every year, you may have seen wheat harvesting trucks in the news.
The working principle of this truck is similar to that of a wheat harvesting truck. While pushing the snow, it pulls the snow out from the flat block in front, and then sprays it to the side from a large chimney-like thing.
The hospital's current equipment has been upgraded. In the past, there were only two operating carts. With Zhang Fan's trip to the magic city to beg for alms, the equipment of Chasu Hospital has improved several levels.
Five surgical vehicles, a radiology vehicle, an examination vehicle, and an observation vehicle are directly equivalent to the standards of a Class II hospital. As for 120, it goes without saying that after the donation arrived at the hospital, Ouyang went directly to the government boss's office and snatched many more cars without saying a word.
The hospital is a little better. It's all in the car anyway. Even though the oldest 120 is leaking air, it's still a little warm.
The armed police and militiamen do not receive such good treatment. There was only a layer of canvas hung on the carriage of the big truck, and then the young soldiers and militiamen sat in the carriage.
It's really painful to sit in this kind of car in the frontier winter. The temperature in the mountainous area was getting colder and colder, and it didn't take long for the moisture coming out of the soldiers' nostrils to form a layer of white frost on their eyebrows.
After marching all the way, the convoy arrived at the county seat after more than four hours. The border was too vast, let alone flying from the easternmost point to the westernmost point. Just starting from Bird City, it was almost two thousand kilometers to the farthest county seat.
For hundreds of kilometers, you may not be able to leave the city in the mainland, but in the border areas, you may not be able to leave a county even for hundreds of kilometers.
When the convoy entered the county, the county leaders felt as if they had seen a savior. "If you don't come, we will have to mobilize all the county's employees to go into the mountainous area. The fire is too big."
The convoy did not stop at the county town and continued to the mountainous area. The small county town was built in the mountain col. When the convoy passed through the county town quietly, people were still sleeping peacefully.
Few knew that a fire broke out not far from them, and even fewer knew that thousands of people traveled across the county to the scene of the fire.
When the sun rises, they can still live, work, and have children in a peaceful and peaceful world.
When the convoy passed through the depression of the county town, people could already see the sky in the distance, as if the sun was setting and burning clouds, half of the sky was red.
As we get closer, the smell of summer barbecue fills the air.
"Comrades, we are about to arrive at the fire scene! The situation is very serious, but I believe in one sentence, we are united as one.
Comrades, our rear is the farm, and there are important warehouses behind the farm. Can we retreat? cannot!
Our mission is to protect our country. Now people's lives are threatened and the country's property is in danger. What should we do?
In a word, we are here and the position is there.
Comrades, I have issued a military order to my superiors. The emergency and disaster relief headquarters will be set up on the front line. I will not retreat until the fire is extinguished.
Now, I order: Everyone, wear masks and protective clothing, prepare to enter the disaster area! "
Under the mask like a pig's mouth and the heavy protective clothing, there is a young face.
Although it was the middle of the night, the sky was brightly illuminated by the fire. When I got out of the car, the heat wave brought by the fire hit my face. This was still far away from the fire scene, and everyone had already felt the power of the fire.
"Quickly, find a flat area and establish a rescue base, Zhang Fan!" Armed police and militiamen have entered the fire scene. Ouyang got off the car and started arranging troops as soon as possible.
"arrive!"
"You bring doctors from the burn department and emergency center to establish a first-line emergency team along the fire line."
"yes!"
"Ren Li."
"arrive!"
"Establish an observation and treatment area immediately."
"yes!"
Fire is no joke, especially in forests like the northwest, which are dominated by pine and cypress trees. Grease hangs on the dry branches. If a fire strikes, it will directly burn the entire camp.
The fire burns out the oxygen in the center of the fire field, and then the air pressure changes. Inside the fire field, one by one fire whirlwind can be directly seen with the naked eye.
Moreover, a large amount of grease produces gas, and people are already overwhelmed by the smoke before they even get near the fire.
"Dad, please stop joining in the fun. You are already trembling. Listen to the government and retreat."
Xuefeng, the militia company commander on the farm, yelled loudly at his father.
Militia seems to have been a term that has been separated from this society for a long time. In fact, in the Chinese border, this name still carries a lot of weight.
The farm people, who are half soldiers and half farmers, are the cornerstone of China's northwest border.
"I didn't have you when I fought hard with Maozi. Now I dislike me." The stubborn old man looked unconvinced.
"Quickly retreat, don't cause trouble!" Xuefeng was impatient.
"It's okay to evacuate. It doesn't matter if we burn down our forest farm or our house, but behind the house is a war preparation warehouse. Can we evacuate?"
The old man's crooked spine was now as steely as if he were standing on the top of a mountain facing an enemy with weapons.
"Isn't it abandoned somewhere? Usually there are only a few armed policemen."
"You know what, the mountains over there are empty and full of oil."
"Uh!" Xuefeng was sweating. When he was a child, he had climbed all the surrounding mountains, even the ones guarded by the armed police, which they had never climbed.
It used to be said that it was full of rockets and cannons, and the adults on the farm would smile heartily when they heard it and didn't say much.
Now, he knows. There is actually oil in the huge mountain. If it were ignited, it would probably overturn the county seat.
"How do you know this? This can't be nonsense!" Xuefeng looked at the fire on the mountain, then turned to look at the so-called oil depot hidden in the night behind him. He really hoped that his father was talking nonsense. If this was true Yes, we can only risk our lives.
There is no oil depot, so if you burn it, you will burn it. The state will subsidize it anyway, but now...
"Why don't I know that we hollowed out this mountain back then? Why did the National Defense Highway turn a corner here? This is a supply station."
Under the moonlight, beside the fire, the old man is the big BOSS!
Come on, what else can you do! If you don’t go all out at this time, when will you go all out? Two generations of people who have defended their homeland and country are just for this moment!
Xuefeng leads the younger generation, and Xuefeng's father leads the older generation, just like the organization they were invincible in those days. Although the fire is strong, no one retreats.
The fire line, which stretches for more than ten kilometers, is full of people. Those who have water use water, and those who don't have water use soil.
Fire, melting snow, mud!
It is quite difficult for fire fighters to walk empty-handed. It is even more difficult to carry a bag of sand and soil.
Zhang Fan was constantly patrolling near the fire line with medical personnel in a special vehicle.
The tracks of this vehicle are different from ordinary tracked vehicles. The wheels of this thing are triangular, and the track is also an irregular triangle. Sitting on it is like a sedan, rising and falling together.
It seemed very comfortable when I first put it on, and I kept shaking it, but as time went by, I started to feel uncomfortable. But what can I do if I feel uncomfortable? I can only hold on tight.
"Rescue No. 1, Rescue No. 1, someone is injured in the northwest, go to the rescue quickly!"
"Yes!" Zhang Fan answered loudly into the intercom.
The snow-capped mountains here are often half rock and half sand. Under the heat of fire, the rocks begin to bloom and decompose like popcorn.
The soldiers standing at the foot of the mountain were extinguishing the fire. Stones rolled down. Big stones could not fly and slid down the mountain, but small stones could fly up and fall into the crowd like meat buns.
The sudden stone caused blood to fly in the crowd. It's really like a war, with biological and chemical weapons, thick smoke, long-range weapons, and rocks!
"There are many injured soldiers! And the rocks may still fall!" The leader of the fire line command had a ferocious look on his face when facing the fire.
"what to do?"
"Go up, hold the explosion shield and go up. We must not let the fire advance any further."
With red eyes, facing the flames, he stood firmly in front of the line of fire, unable to retreat, there was no way out.
The warriors worked in pairs, one holding a shield and the other holding sand, struggling in the mud.
The sweat on his face mixed with black soot, and he rushed step by step towards the fire that could cook the meat.
"Quick, move away from the fire scene first, gauze! Quick."
At this time, how can the medical team be divided into men and women? Everyone counts, stop the bleeding! The military coat was too much trouble for transportation, so Zhang Fan took off his coat in the car before getting out of the car.
At this time, it was really a world of ice and fire. The side facing the fire was so hot that I wanted to take off all my clothes, while the side facing away from the fire felt as if the sweat was about to freeze.
Debridement, lidocaine, suturing. One shot, two shots!
"How about it? How many is this? Answer me!"
Facing the little soldier with a bloody face, Zhang Fan shouted loudly. He was deeply afraid that the child's brain or eyes would be damaged because the stone directly hit his eye socket, just missing the eyeball.
"three!"
"Carry him down!" When the child called out three, Zhang Fan felt so happy that his eyes were fine.
A man whose head was hit by a stone, after five stitches, was wrapped in gauze, turned around and ran towards the front line again.
"You can't go up there. Damn it, you're going to die. If sweat gets into the wound, it will become infected!" Zhang Fan cursed.
"Haha! Our order is that the fire is not extinguished and the company cannot retreat. I am the company commander here. As long as I am not dead, I must be here."
The other party smiled softly, blood stained his face, mixed with yellow iodine, black soot, and the white gauze that had just been bandaged on his head.
It was miserable, but he smiled so easily, and his black and white eyes were particularly bright in the firelight.
"What on earth is this? What on earth is this? Can't it be transferred? Can't you transfer? Do you have to use your life to fill it!"
Zhang Fan went crazy, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted towards the command center.
Silence, the rustling intercom was silent. Finally, the leader of the command center made a voice: "Not far from the fire line, on the edge of the national defense highway, is the combat readiness oil depot. We cannot retreat!"
"Oil depot!"
"Oil depot!"
At this time, everyone knew that there was an oil depot in the distance. With such a huge fire, they were dancing directly on a bomb as big as a mountain.
Retreat?
Run?
No, no one retreated, no one escaped, it seemed like they were rushing forward harder.
"Rescue No. 1, Rescue No. 1, northeast, hurry, someone is unconscious."
Zhang Fan touched his face and said, "Ba Yin, Xue Fei, and Wang Yanan, follow me. Hurry, the rest of us will transport the seriously injured to the surgical cart."
"yes!"
When he didn't know what it was, Zhang Fan still felt lucky. At worst, he would move out.
But the oil depot is as big as a mountain. How much oil does this thing contain? It will definitely not be transported for a while. Once the fire spreads, then...
what to do!
Then give it a try, what else can you do?
To the northeast was the militia organization of the local farm. When Zhang Fan arrived, his tears were streaming down his face.
On the hillside, a group of old people in their seventies and eighties, holding branches and shovels, kept putting out the flames under their feet.
Wherever there was protection, there were not even suitable tools, but they did not flinch, there were old people all over the mountains and plains.
"Quick, doctor, someone has fainted over here. I don't know what happened. Hurry!"
Zhang Fan ran over with his men. "He was knocked down by the thick smoke. Hurry, get him down. Hurry."
At this moment, a hot wind came over, and a whirlwind of fire rushed over.
An old man was carried directly into the whirlwind. Zhang Fan and the others were carrying the fire on their backs and did not see it. Only Bayin was facing the direction of the fire.
When the girl saw it, she got up and ran towards the old man without saying a word.
"Come back, come back!" Zhang Fan turned around and glared, the girl didn't have any protection! That place is definitely a place where oxygen is lacking and thick smoke gathers.
Where can I hear the crackling of branches in the fire, the shouts of the crowd, and Bayin.
All she could see was the old man who had fallen into the fire. Zhang Fan was holding the fainted old man in his arms. He wanted to fly over immediately and stop Bayin, but it was too late.
One step at a time, the fragrant facial cream on Bayin's face was mixed with sweat, and he was suffocating! pain! However, she still ran hard, then squatted down and reached out to pull towards the old man.
Just when the girl was about to exert herself, the lack of oxygen and the colorless poisonous smoke prevented the girl from exerting any strength. She fell limply behind the old man.
The girl couldn't do anything, and waves of dizziness came over her, "Haha, I'm always embarrassed, and I'm embarrassed again today. I guess Ya Nan and the others are going to laugh at me again."
The muscles were weak and limp, "Are we going to die? I feel so dizzy!"
Bayin looked at the spreading fire, but his heart was very calm, without any trace of panic.
Maybe this is the hero facing life and death, or maybe this is the little girl who doesn't know life and death. .
"Ba Yin!" Seeing Bayin fall down, Wang Yanan burst into tears, as if his tears were broken.
"Ba Yin!" Zhang Fan handed the patient's number directly to Xue Fei, then stood up and ran towards Bayin.
