Chapter 134 Chen Xiao said it was a tough year
"Fight a wildfire? Can't you? There will be a wildfire at this time? Could it be that the instructor created the reason for us to rush to attack, right?"
Some students thought so in their hearts that it is indeed unreasonable to have wildfires this season, but it is not impossible. The most important thing is that everyone's suspicion just flashed by, and the instructor would not joke about such things.
Chen Xiao was very worried and said, "The beginning of 2019 is not good. After New Year's Day, we have encountered so many things alone, which is not a good thing. I feel that this year may not be a good thing."
"Why is the Opti school pessimistic?" Zhang Xiaoran said with a breath of breath.
He Biting said, "I think it's better to save your breath and run."
At this moment, the students rushed from the column to the target area. The instructor led the way in front and controlled the rhythm of the troops. The instructors also finished the journey behind them, responsible for hosting the fallen students. Now it is an emergency task, and the training must be put aside first. The first thing to do is to rush to the designated location in the shortest time.
The instructor leading the team in front was Heit's non-commissioned officer. He had a lot of experience in running. After a few minutes, the students adapted to the rhythm and began to steadily improve the speed. The instructors behind cooperated to encourage the students, and the overall team showed a steadily rising state.
Li Shuai was right in front of Route 1. He, Niu Jun and Liu Xiaojian rushed to the fire scene first, leaving marks along the way, and guiding the troops to advance along their route. Route 2 was a bit troublesome. They had to walk from the main road to the mountains, and it was estimated that there would be no one in an hour that they would not be able to get to the place.
At present, Li Shuai can only count on six classes that choose Route 1. Fortunately, there are more classes that choose Route 1, and Li Shuai has more than 60 people. However, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao also needs a logistics support team. In addition, this professional team carrying certain equipment, the fire-fighting ability of Route 2 is actually stronger.
The so-called "sleeping on the mountain" and running to death, the straight line distance was about five kilometers, but it took a full forty minutes to reach the destination area. Li Shuai was fully prepared for this. What surprised him was that there was a village not far from the foot of the mountain. Many villagers gathered to point fingers at the fire on the mountain and said something excitedly, but no measures seemed to be taken.
Li Shuai ran over to ask about the situation, but he actually couldn't speak Mandarin. The local dialect was obscure and difficult to understand. After a long time, I couldn't form an effective communication. After a few young people who were celebrating the New Year at home, the communication became smoother. Li Shuai basically figured out what the situation was.
His guess was basically correct. The village's cemetery was on the top of the mountain, and the local area still retained the custom of burying, and even if it was cremated, the ashes must be buried. During the Chinese New Year and the festival, it is normal to go up the mountain to worship ancestors, burn paper money and candles, etc. One of the young people said that it should be the forest fire caused by the ashes that were not cleaned up during the worship. When everyone discovered it, the fire was already very large, so everyone had to wait after calling 119.
Li Shuai quickly asked about the tool situation, and the main thing was the tool.
The village is not big, with twenty or thirty families, each of which has two or three long-handled shovels, the tool problem has been basically solved. The villagers thought it was a fire brigade, but after they figured out the situation, they realized that it was the troops passing by that train. Everyone smiled happily. In their eyes, there was no problem that the troops could not be solved when they arrived. What is a mere wildfire?
The young people in the village volunteered to lead the way up the mountain. Li Shuai asked Niu Jun to wait for the troops at the entrance of the village, but Niu Jun insisted on following him to reconnaissance. Her reason was also sufficient - she brought shooting equipment, which was beneficial to the reconnaissance fire. Li Shuai asked Liu Xiaojian to carry Niu Jun's camera bag to reduce the burden on Niu Jun, and then followed a few young men toward the burning mountain.
They are all hills with low altitudes, but the road is very difficult to walk on, and the terrain is very dangerous. There is only a small path that villagers often walk on, leading directly to the cemetery, which is the original site of the fire.
When he reached the middle of the mountain, Li Shuai found that the situation was completely unexpected. The fire had become a climate, and the entire mountain was burning, and it was spreading northwest under the influence of the monsoon. What made everyone feel anxious was that the village was in the northwest direction. The climate became less and faster. The faster it would go straight to the village.
When it was still a small fire, if the villagers took decisive measures, it would be impossible for the current situation to occur.
Li Shuai did not neglect and immediately reported the latest situation to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao. The distance was too far, but the single radio station could not call. When Li Shuai tried to use his mobile phone, he found that the signal was very good.
After reporting the situation in detail at the fire, Li Shuai said, "I'm afraid professional firefighting teams can control the fire. When our people arrived, they did not put out the fire, but opened an isolation belt. First, a isolation belt was opened between the fire and the village. No matter what, the fire could not be burned into the village."
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao said, "I agree with you. In the fastest half an hour, the logistics support team will arrive with me. I have reported to my superiors, who instructed us to focus on the safety of people's lives and property, and let them go first during training. You immediately organize the villagers to open an isolation belt."
"yes!"
Li Shuai immediately returned to the village and found the village cadres and began to organize the villagers to open isolation belts. While discussing the plan, the troops arrived. Lin Xia and the students from the female student class ran in front. Many people were sweating profusely and were soaked all over. My personal weight was 70 kilograms, and they ran nearly eight kilometers along the way, which were rugged mountain roads, and their physical strength was consumed very much.
The troops immediately installed lightly, put the backpacks and guns together, and arranged the instructor to take two soldiers to watch, and the others immediately armed them with the villagers' long handles and long handles hoes. Li Shuai gathered all the students together to deploy tasks.
"From the east end of the village to the west, a three-meter-wide isolation belt is opened at the foot of the mountain. Each class is equipped with more than a dozen people, responsible for the length of 300 meters. Our six classes are six combat units. At the same time, we must open an isolation belt of 18 kilometers before the wildfires come! Each class will pick a capable soldier and follow me into the fire to find a way to put out the fire! After the disbandment, each class will start immediately. If there is any situation, report it directly to me. Intercom Channel 1! Disband!"
Li Shuai made a quick and neat arrangement.
The students quickly worked despite their fatigue. Each class was responsible for the isolation zone area of 300 meters long and 3 meters wide. On average, each person needed to clear out nearly 100 square meters of empty space in the shortest time. Even if they were assigned to some people, it was definitely not easy.
You should know that it is not a flat place, but a mountain where various bushes and trees grow.
Li Shuai found the village and asked about the situation in the village, saying, "How is the water used in the village solved? Centralized water supply or a well dug by his own home?"
The lonely small villages far away from the urban area obviously do not have a municipal water supply system, either their own wells or village water supply stations, or rural tap water.
The village chief said, "Our village is relatively small. There are only some elderly people and children at home and they don't use much water, so they have never provided centralized water supply."
Li Shuai thought for a while and said, "When I came here, I saw a very high-level rice field nearby. There should be a high-pressure water pump in the village, right?"
"Yes, there are several, and it's okay to draw forty or fifty meters." said the village chief.
Li Shuai knew it and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Village Chief, now you need to organize it, gather the pumps in the village and connect them to the fire. Opening an isolation belt is a temporary measure, and the best way is to put out the fire. The nearest fire brigade is dozens of kilometers away, and it is all mountain roads. When they arrive, I am worried that the fire will develop into a completely uncontrollable state. Today's weather is very strange, the temperature is high, and relatively dry, and this environment is very suitable for the development of the fire."
"No problem, no problem! I'm pumping water from the nearest well! I'll call someone now!" The village chief quickly agreed, running away and shouting at the top of his throat.
No matter how advanced communication tools are in the village, they can't even shout a few times, and they can be effective.
Li Shuai raised his head and saw a drone with a wingspan of about fifty centimeters flying over Li Shuai's head. Li Shuai made several gestures and pointed to the direction of the fire scene. The drone quickly flew over there. Niu Jun ran over and handed Li Shuai a tablet and said, "You can see the real-time picture taken by the drone here, which is a synchronous shared picture."
"That's great." Li Shuai was overjoyed and quickly opened the software to call up the screen. The drone's wide-angle camera shot from the top angle was very clear, and he quickly gained a comprehensive understanding of the fire scene.
Li Shuai pointed to a burnt place in the middle of the fire and said, "Here, the fire point in the cemetery should be here. After the fire starts, weeds on the surface burn, and then spread to the trees. With the help of the wind, it spreads rapidly to the surroundings. The main direction is the northwest."
"It's really them who are trying to die." Niu Jun shook his head and sighed.
Li Shuai didn't say anything and frowned and looked at the scene taken back from the drone.

Suddenly, he picked up his cell phone and called out, "Captain Ye, are you controlling the drone?"
"It's our drone operator." Captain Ye was in the car, and the operator controlled the drone flight in the car. The drones used by the logistics support team are mainly used to deliver emergency supplies in the air, such as delivering medicines to positions. Because they have to transport goods, they generally have a relatively large horsepower.
Li Shuai said, "Can you raise the height? I want to see the situation in the surrounding areas of the fire. In addition, please help me check the detailed climate data of the region today and tomorrow."
"No problem!" Captain Ye agreed decisively, "I'll send you the operator's number, and you can give him instructions at any time. Lao Zhao said that you will follow your actions on the front line."
"Thanks."
After Li Shuai hung up the phone, he stared at the tablet seriously. The drone was climbing up steadily, and the camera's vision became wider and wider. The vast frontal range that Li Shuai could see was getting bigger and bigger. He found some of the feeling of leading his troops to fight in a certain valley. The situation was similar at that time. He directed the operator to control the drone to reconnaise the enemy's frontier positions, and looked down from the air to the battlefield where the battle was about to break out. It was an absolute sense of control that I had in the world.
Li Shuai stared at the tablet, Niu Jun stared at Li Shuai, and was out of sight.
Suddenly, Li Shuai shouted "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?" Niu Jun woke up and asked quickly.
Li Shuai pointed to the data on the side of the screen on the tablet and said, "Captain Ye sent the latest climate data. It will be warm today and tomorrow, with the ocean monsoon and the northwest wind direction. If the fire cannot be put out, at least it must be controlled. The village is very dangerous!"
The images captured by the drone showed that the overfire area increased by three times compared with half an hour ago, indicating that the combustion momentum is very fierce and the spread is extremely fast. The main direction of the spread is the northwest, that is, towards the village. From the air, the opening of the isolation belt is not smooth, and there are almost no bushes that have grown for many years on the hillside. If you have me and I have her, it is not easy to completely clean up a gap that can't be burned?
Everyone in the village was mobilized. It would be fine if their homes were not protected. Even the children were humming from the convenience store. Each household carried snacks, drinks and other food to the mountain. It was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and each household did not have a lot of food and various fruits. After the people with machetes joined the battle, the speed of opening the isolation belt finally improved a bit. It was the most effective way to deal with those branches and hijabs. The hoe shovels followed, and the three-meter-wide open area opened.
A grand picture of the military and civilians joining forces to fight against the wealthy forests was presented in front of him. It was recorded by the camera in Niu Jun's hand and photographed by the drone.
The first good news is that the troops of Route 2 led by Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao arrived, ten minutes earlier than the expected time. It was these ten minutes that made the situation improve. The students of Route 1 on Li Shuai's side were exhausted, and the speed of opening the isolation belt was getting slower and slower, and the fire had already burned to a place fifty meters away. This distance was nothing. A strong wind came, and the fire could rush over in one breath.
After Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and his friends arrived in advance, the group of new forces quickly said that they would join the site of the isolation belt and complete the remaining part of the work in one go. The isolation belt was opened, although the standards were not high. In fact, it was unrealistic to achieve a trench-like isolation belt in a short period of time. The best result was to hysteresis and weaken the raging mountain fires.
Even if it is burned, if it is only a small part, it will be much easier for everyone to deal with it.
In Li Shuai's vision, when the wildfire burns to the isolation zone, the water source for the village chief should be prepared, and then use water directly to start attacking the fire in the isolation zone.
