Chapter 445: Doshola Tunnel
"What is going on? Can you tell me carefully?" Boss Zhong asked seriously, "It's about rescue. I need the most detailed information. I also have to be responsible for my team members."
Mayor Danzeng nodded and said, "I believe that Captain Zhong, the newly built Paimo Highway, must have heard of it?"
Zhong Qi nodded, he still knew about Paimo Highway.
"The soldiers from the Bing Station went to rescue more than 20 road construction workers trapped in the second construction section of Pai Mo Highway. The more than 20 workers did not have time to retreat, and they avoided the snow in the Duoxingla Tunnel. Because the third construction section of Pai Mo Highway, the Tiger Mouth Tunnel, is not yet completed, and there is heavy rain in Motuo, so the road from Gama's house to pass through the Tiger Mouth, Anni Bridge and then to Beibeng Township is unpassable, so people can only send people to rescue these workers who have not had time to retreat through the already-through Duoxingla Tunnel. However, there are about ten kilometers of mountain roads from Pai Town to Songlinkou, which is the north entrance of the Duoxingla Tunnel. When the military vehicles were about to arrive at Songlinkou, the road surface had been covered by snow, which caused a crash to make a mistake in the judgment and the vehicle overturned..."
Mayor Danzeng said the situation there carefully in a brief manner. After hearing this, Boss Zhong frowned and lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said, "Let us do this task. In addition, I need the most detailed construction drawings of Paimo Highway and the surrounding maps."
Mayor Danzeng ordered the people around him to get the map and construction drawings, and Boss Zhong gathered everyone together to start talking about the task.
"According to the current situation, the task is generally like this. Because of the particularity of the route passing through the Paimo Highway, this highway can only be constructed from both ends to the middle. In other words, the four construction sections of Paimo Highway can only complete the first and fourth construction sections before the construction of the second and third construction sections can be started.
At present, the first construction section, which is from Pai Village to the south entrance of Duoxunla Tunnel, has been completed, and the 4,789-meter-long Duoxunla Tunnel has also been completed. The fourth construction section, which is the ten-kilometer section from Ani Bridge to Jiefang Bridge in Beibengxiang, has also been completed, so the second and third construction sections are being built now.
The second construction section is a more than 28-kilometer section from the south entrance of the Duoxunla Tunnel to Gamajia, which basically ended the construction last month. At present, only the third construction section from Gamajia to Ani Bridge has not yet ended. This is mainly because of the Tiger Mouth Tunnel. The place we are going to today is the Duoxunla Tunnel.
Just now, the mayor of Danzeng told me that the more than 20 workers to be rescued today were workers who were working on the second construction section of Paimo Highway. Because they had no time to retreat, they were trapped in the Duoxingla Tunnel. On the mountain road from Paimo Village to Songlinkou, when approaching the north entrance of the Duoxingla Tunnel, the driver's judgment was too deep, and the rescue vehicle overturned. Now the soldiers and the workers have joined together, but it is difficult for them to withdraw. Brothers, our task is to find a way to make our soldiers and these workers safely follow! Below, I click the name of the person and please stand up."
Even with the heavy snow like goose feathers, everyone was excited.
"Angzi, Tian Peng, Lao Cai, Shi Tou, Zhaohe..." Boss Zhong pointed out the names of seven people in one breath, and then continued: "I need five off-road vehicles and a pickup truck. The off-road vehicles are responsible for pulling people, and the pickup truck is responsible for pulling supplies. Then I will participate in this mission. During the mission, Tian Peng and I are responsible for hiking and exploring the key sections, and others are responsible for driving. Angzi, because the road from Pai Town to Songlinkou has been paved, so you continue to drive the Xiaolong in front and other vehicles are following behind. If there is any situation where you can't see the road conditions ahead, Tian Peng and I will get off the car and hike to explore the road. The rest, follow the orders of Mayor Danzeng to go elsewhere to rescue."
After saying that, Boss Zhong asked Mayor Danzeng: "Leader, let us leave the remaining people to you."
Mayor Danzeng nodded and said, "Okay."
Boss Zhong waved his hand and said, "Action!"
Everyone immediately started to act.
They unloaded their own things and supplies they needed to carry from the car, and then each vehicle was empty was a driver. Lao Cai's Ford Raptor pulled the necessary supplies and followed behind. The Foxconn was still hanging a snowplow to open the road in front, while other vehicles opened up the distance and followed behind.
After leaving Pai Town, the convoy continued to drive forward, because Pai Village, the starting point of Pai Mo Highway, was not at the site of Pai Town and Township Government, but at the entrance of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon a few kilometers ahead.
The convoy arrived at the ticket gate of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. There was a parking lot to the south of the ticket gate. The starting point of the Paimo Highway was on the west side of the parking lot.
A road with oil-paved oil surface was paved from here to look up the mountain. Not long after it drove out, it began to appear in a "Z"-shaped winding mountain road. However, even if there is a winding mountain road, this section of the mountain road is very steep.
After all, the straight-line distance from Pai Village to the north entrance of Duoxunla Tunnel is only about five kilometers, but the altitude has risen directly from less than 3,000 to more than 3,800, and the altitude of only five kilometers has risen by 900 meters!
Although the snow is very heavy, you can still see a rut on the road surface. Judging from the width of the rut, it is probably caused by the military truck that went to rescue before.
I walked more than a dozen zigzag bends in a row. The zigzag bends ahead due to the limitations of the terrain. It was a relatively straight but very sloped uphill road.
Because of the looming rut, Boss Zhong and Tian Peng didn't have to go down to hike and explore the road.
However, after walking about one kilometer along this straight and high-slope uphill road, Liu Mo'ang saw a military truck with a shed overturned on the side of the road, and the body of the car was covered with a layer of snow that was about twenty centimeters thick.
The convoy stopped, and the fully armed boss Zhong and Tian Peng got out of the car. They first checked the military vehicle and found that there was no one inside before they returned to the road with difficulty.
This military truck overturned here, so the road ahead was naturally impossible to see.
This is true. Looking up, the world is covered with white and no matter how far the road is, I can’t tell anything. Even the trees on both sides are covered with a thick layer of snow, like fat people.
Because there is no wind, the trees will not shake at all, and the heavy snow falling from the sky will not be shaken.
The snow here is deeper. Because Boss Zhong was thin, the snow reached his thigh with one foot. Although Tian Peng was tall and strong, it was not much better.
The two of them were walking slowly in the snow with snow poles about two meters apart from each other, struggling to move slowly in the snow from time to time. After they walked out about fifty meters, Liu Mo'ang slowly drove up and shoveled the snow on the road to one side.
It was at most one kilometer from the place where the military vehicles overturned to the tunnel entrance in front, but the convoy took more than forty minutes.
When Boss Zhong and Tian Peng got in the car again, they were covered in snow, but after taking off their coats, the velvet sweatshirt inside was even soaked in sweat.
Hiking in this snow is a very physically consuming job.
After drinking a few sips of hot water and taking two more pieces of chocolate, the two of them recovered.
When the convoy arrived at the north entrance of the Doxunla Tunnel, a group of excited people waving their arms appeared in the tunnel.
The convoy drove into the two-lane tunnel in turn and then stopped.
Not to mention, this tunnel is the best place to hide from blizzards in this situation. No matter how heavy the snow outside is, it will not affect the inside of the tunnel at all. After Liu Mo'ang got off the car, he even saw several burning bonfires.
A group of people surrounded him excitedly, and there were several soldiers among them.
"How is the situation? Is anyone injured?" Boss Zhong suppressed those excited voices with his loud voice, "We are from the Blue Sky Rescue Team of Sunac City. Don't worry. Since we have come here, we are sure to take everyone out. Let's talk about whether anyone is injured."
"No one was injured." A loud voice sounded. Boss Zhong looked at it and saw that it was a lieutenant platoon leader, probably the commander of the soldiers who came to rescue before.
"Comrade, it's been more than an hour and almost two hours since we came to the tunnel to meet with the workers and masters. The workers and masters were not injured, and our car was not injured when it overturned."
Liu Mo'ang nodded secretly. He saw the overturned military vehicle just now. He knew that the car was not seriously damaged. Rather than saying it was overturned, it was better to say that the military truck was actually tilted because the front wheels drove into the ditch on the side of the road, which was not considered as a degree of overturning.
It was just because the car probably couldn't be driven out that these soldiers abandoned the car and walked into the tunnel.
"Okay, how many people are there here?" Boss Zhong asked again.
"There are thirty-one people in total, twenty-two workers and nine of us soldiers." said the lieutenant officer. "We brought some supplies before. The workers and masters had eaten something just now, and now they are in good health."
"Then everyone put out all the bonfires, don't leave any hidden dangers, and then get in the car and go home!" Boss Zhong said loudly, and the workers and masters immediately started to act excitedly.
Several bonfires were quickly put out, and some people took a large amount of snow from outside the tunnel to cover it, eliminating the possibility of rekindling.
Five off-road vehicles can be used as six people in one car, plus a pickup truck, and these people can be pulled back in one go.
Turning around the front of the car, after everyone got on the car, it was still the leader of the Xiaolong, and the six cars slowly drove down at one gear.
When the convoy came to the military vehicle again, Liu Mo'ang stopped the car and tilted his head and said to Boss Zhong and the second lieutenant named Jin Shaobo: "I think we can pull this car out..."
Chapter completed!
