Chapter 339: Stealing Disaster Relief Food
Captain Yu rode in the car, all the seats were officers, for safety during the period he personally drove, this is the soul of the proud man in the army, if there is a mistake, but it is an unforgivable major liability accident, no one can afford to bear the crime, only their own body bears.
In the hot desert, there is only a breeze, which cannot blow away the dust raised by the car in front, so in order to avoid the dust of the car behind, it is necessary to pull the distance between the cars, and the interval is about one kilometer. Seventy or eighty cars set up in formation, and there were hundreds of kilometers of road, and the head car of Kuroko had already arrived at the disaster area, and the car behind had not yet started.
The sun on the west slope is strong and dazzling, and the desert is filled with dust that is not easy to drift away, and it looks like a rainbow like a scene when a sandstorm comes. The rare sand-grown plants, in the cycle of the four seasons, do not lose the opportunity, break through the soil and are fresh and tender, and occasionally pass by the eyes, you will sigh the tenacity of life is unquestionable......
A few hours later, the convoy arrived at the disaster area, and the 111 Armored Brigade was arranged to go nowhere else, and Captain Yu led the convoy non-stop to the earthquake headquarters located in an open field to accept a new mission. Dozens of green tents are scattered here, including the military hospital marked with the Red Cross, and nurses and doctors in white coats are eye-catching among the injured who are busy carrying stretchers to rescue them.
The arrival of the smoke-billowing convoy has become the focus of attention, and the already crowded passage is even less spacious when it is placed by a long line of cars. Captain Yu followed Liu Xiaoqiang, who was trotting, to the door of the tent of the headquarters, patted the dust on his body, and after tidying up his military uniform, he was about to shout a report into the tent, but a few nurses and doctors came out of the tent in a hurry.
"Oh-I don't know. Liu Xiaoqiang looked at the departing nurse and doctor and said, "I think it will come." Maybe Liu Xue and Wang Qian's two girls are also here, and if you have time to inquire, you will know, this matter is on me. ”
There was still a voice of talking in the tent, and the two of them didn't dare to rush in. After the fright of the big chief just now, Captain Yu still had some lingering sequelae in his heart, but he hesitated, but Liu Xiaoqiang ignored and shouted a report, and the sound of "come in" came from inside.
Captain Yu glared at him, because he was not ready, and after a few more officers came out, the tent fell silent, and the two of them carefully raised the curtain and entered. In addition to a table in the tent, there are more folding chairs, the big chief is sitting behind the table, and Captain Yu stands up and salutes and reports: "Report to the chief, the convoy has taken the 111 armored brigade to the disaster area safely, please instruct after completing the task, captain Yu Hujia reports." "Very good, the next task is dispatched, you go to the dispatch room next door to accept the task. "Yes—" Captain Yu turned and left.
Liu Xiaoqiang mysteriously did not leave, but looked at Captain Yu after going out, stepped forward to the table a few steps, looked at the big chief and said, "Uncle Liang-you don't know me anymore?" "Hehe-I've watched you grow up since I was a child, how could I not know you as a living bandit? ha...... Quack Quack ...... What kind of world is this, this, this, what kind of world is this? You kid monk is lawless with umbrellas, how can you have today? You have been beaten by others? What is really gratifying? It is really unpredictable in the world, you have no good teacher, you do not learn well, you endanger your family and society, and you are angry with your father, do you know? Now that you have met a noble person, you dare to poison you and train you, it is Tang Sheng who learned scriptures from the West? If your father knows, your father will invite me to drink, hehehe......" The chief said with a gloating laugh.
Liu Xiaoqiang scratched his scalp in embarrassment, and said mischievously: "Oh, Uncle Liang, I see that you are happy? Be careful to flash your waist? Your happiness will not be based on my pain......, right?" Did you deliberately provoke my captain, and make me suffer?"
"Hahaha...... Minister Liang smiled and said, "Don't you wronged me? It wasn't me who beat you, but your captain? Hehe, since last year, your father has breathed a sigh of relief, complacently and always blowing to me, saying how you have become better now? To be honest, I just don't believe it, your kid's bad habits are hard to change? Hmph, according to your heartless performance in the past, you don't know the sky and the earth is thick, like Sun Wukong is unrestrained, and by his temperament, you can still get better, and the old sow will climb trees? Not bad, your captain is good enough, he is a general, and he is also your baby's nemesis. Belch...... By the way, your father is going to inspect the disaster area in the next few days, and he will be very happy to see your dignity......?
Liu Xiaoqiang touched his face and said embarrassedly: "Tut-tut-Uncle Liang, you, don't hurt me......?" Oh - is my dad really coming? I, I, can I see my dad?" "Oh – that's hard to say, it's up to you to see if you're in the disaster zone? If you're out of town, how can you see your dad? Maybe you'll pass by. "Well-that's what I said-" Liu Xiaoqiang said a little dazedly: "My father came and went in a hurry, and it was providential that he couldn't see him?"
"Uh......" Minister Liang was surprised and said: "You kid has really made a lot of progress? You also know how to follow the rules? It is really commendable to have such an open-minded mind to see problems? It seems that you have really grown up? Well, let me ask you, don't you hate the captain when he beats you?"
When Liu Xiaoqiang heard this, he touched his swollen face and said: "How can I hate him? He is a great hero who stands up to the sky, let alone beating me, even the deputy minister of the armed forces who is a few levels older than him dares to beat ......." "Uh...... Why?" "Well, during the snow relief, the deputy minister didn't understand common sense and didn't look at the facts, and as a result, more than a dozen of our soldiers were frozen, and my captain went crazy with distress. The captain said that we are not brainwashed terrorists, let alone death squads, nor are we heavenly soldiers with three heads and six arms, and we must know how to love and protect soldiers in order to play a greater role. Young young men are frozen and crippled, how can they live in this life? How can they explain to their parents? As soon as this matter is mentioned, the captain is indignant, saying that the deputy minister should be shot, and that he should not stay in the army again and bring disaster to the country and the people. Since ancient times, the king who has misled the country, and the crime of harming the army is unforgivable and unforgivable. Liu Xiaoqiang said indignantly.
Minister Liang frowned and thought for a while and said: "Well-I remember, this matter is not a trivial matter, I heard that the deputy minister is complaining everywhere, and I also heard that he has a relative in the headquarters, and the power is amazing, the consequences of this matter are serious, your captain will be in trouble?"
"Huh, no, no, won't it?" When Liu Xiaoqiang heard this, he was like a scorpion sting, and said in surprise: "Uncle Liang, is my captain really in trouble?" "Uh-huh-it's not right to beat someone, dare to hit an officer who is a few levels older than you, it's even more wrong to commit the following offenses, can you suppress it if you don't deal with it?" "Where, me, me, my dad knows?" "Of course I know, your father can't stop the pressure from above, right? There will be results after a while. Minister Liang said.
Liu Xiaoqiang didn't expect such serious consequences? He thought about it for a while, and said with a righteous face: "Hmph-if this matter is not handled properly, it will bring unfavorable consequences to my captain, and I will be the deputy minister." ”
Minister Liang was taken aback when he heard this, he knew what kind of character Liu Xiaoqiang was? He was bold and daring, reckless in his actions, and annoyed that he was a living bandit who did not want to die, so he said angrily: "Hmph, you kid can't be hot-headed? Impulsiveness is the devil doesn't know? If you get into trouble, not only will you not be able to save your captain, but you will also be involved, and your father will be implicated? Hmm-I'll pay attention to this matter, and see if I can't help but turn danger into a small thing, go ahead? Your captain won't see you, be careful to beat you again? Hehe—— You are quite righteous, righteous like a man, I appreciate ......"......
Liu Xiaoqiang, who walked out of the tent, saw that the convoy had already moved, he jumped into the car with a gust of wind, and a new journey began again. His young life has grown up and wiser, and the journey of rising the boat has been rising, and with the challenges are constantly sublimating, blooming brilliantly on the road walked, showing his own value, writing the irreplaceable style of the tiger son, a dazzling star is rising, and the strange goods can be lived in after the wind and rain.
After a sleepless run of stars and moonlit nights, the disaster relief materials pulled back from hundreds of kilometers away, under the rising sun, were blocked on the bank of a river where the water was rising and cars could not pass, forming a long queue, and there were a huge number of military vehicles, which must be automobile regiments, otherwise there would not be so many vehicles, and there were local vehicles full of supplies, which were also anxiously waiting to cross the river.
In the face of the wide river, everyone was at a loss, looking at the river and sighing. There were quite a few small cars in the local vehicles, and they must have been leaders at all levels who came from all over the world to get down from the cars to check the river and think of all kinds of ways to cross the river. Big trucks can't cross the river, and small cars don't even think about it.
After listening to Liu Xiaoqiang's report, Captain Yu, who had not slept all night and had bloodshot eyes, gave a long yawn, squeezed his body in, held the wolf king Xue'er in his arms, and gave him a place to let him get in the car, giving Zhang Yafu a look at the driver, and the car overtook all the convoys.
In the midst of the cars that stopped silently in the long line, suddenly a car overtook the car, and the people who were waiting looked at it curiously, thinking, "Is this also a car?" It is not a waterway amphibious armored vehicle, why should it go to the front? Can it still fly over......?
The full load of the car was overwhelmed, the carriage board was squeezed "squeak" together, in the midst of people's discussions, slowly came to the bank of the river, got out of the car, the wolf king Xue'er followed, saw the crowd watching by the river, among them there were a few young officers, Captain Yu politely stepped forward to salute and salute, but there was no bold soldier to shake hands with him, and avoided one after another, as if he was hiding from the plague, for fear of being attacked by the fierce wolf king around him.
The river is still and flowing, and the whirlpool is constantly rising, and it seems that the downstream is blocked. In the middle of the river, a local vehicle was drowned, the water surface was over the tires of the car, and the driver sat on the front of the car, helpless, and the people on both sides of the river became the center of attention.
Captain Yu observed the condition of the river, and said to Liu Xiaoqiang beside him: "Use the towbar to connect the car to cross the river, and take the car in the middle of the river out." All the blocked vehicles here are connected to each other by wire ropes, and we drag them over, and if there are no wire ropes, we lend them our wire ropes. The trolley can't withstand the towing of the big truck, so it will be torn in two and arranged to the end. ”
"Yes—" Liu Xiaoqiang turned and left.
Captain Yu and Zhang Yafu carried binoculars and went downstream of the river to check the water situation. The unexpected move subverted cognition and shocked everyone, and the People's Liberation Army really wanted to cross the river? It was beyond everyone's expectations, like droplets of water falling into a pot of oil, and it was not surprising that strange things happened every year, and this year was particularly unheard of.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, this is not a dream, it is a real action, how can it be ...... The leaders of the automobile regiment are more proud than others, and at the same time have a worry. Such a large river is an insurmountable natural danger compared to automobiles, and in the past, it is the heroic spirit of man who will conquer the sky, and if he can't get over, isn't it in full view of the eyes of the public to be amorous and embarrassed?
In front of people, Mo can be cautious in words and deeds, leaving room for the living philosophy of smart people, fast knives are easy to hurt, Mu Xiu will urge it in the forest wind, and the famous sayings and aphorisms of the first bird are summarized by the ancestors, and no one admires them.
There are no heroes who come out of thin air, only ordinary people who are forced to show their talents, which are impossible in the eyes of others, and how can they show their differences?
No three, two, three dare not go to Liangshan, no diamond do not do porcelain work, believe it or not, under the attention of the dense crowd on both sides of the river, the convoy from afar is awe-inspiring, more than all the cars parked on the side of the road, gathered on the bank of the river to prepare to cross the river. The busy soldiers followed the rules, and they didn't seem to take the river in front of them to heart at all, with a fearless expression, which was nothing compared to the dangers and challenges they had experienced for many years.
Experienced and skilful soldiers took out the towbars from the car's frame and connected them to each other, blocking the engine oil check holes, which was a necessary step before wading into the water. Otherwise, the engine will become scrap metal after water ingress.
There were a few reporters in the crowd, and I don't know what news media they came from, and they were taking pictures before and after running, and they also interviewed the situation of the convoy from time to time. The soldiers knew that they were stupid and stupid, and if they didn't say it well, they would make their comrades-in-arms laugh, so they kept silent one by one and laughed at it. Silence is gold, and it couldn't be more appropriate here.
Captain Yu followed the river to a mountain, but he still couldn't see why the river was blocked. The earthquake caused a massive landslide that blocked the river and created a dammed lake, and the water was still tens of meters away from the top of the dam, and once the river gathered and broke the dam, people downstream would suffer.
The canyon is so deep that it is difficult to do without roads, and the area that the landslide has collapsed is huge and cannot be cleared in a short time. If you use an airplane bomb to blow up the embankment, it will have a multiplier effect with half the effort. Otherwise, if the river rises by another meter, cars will be completely impassable, and a steady stream of relief supplies from all over the country will be interrupted by this river. This is not something for him to consider as a low-level officer, and the earthquake command will definitely find a way to dredge the river if he looks at the overall situation.
With doubts and worries, he arrived at the scene of the river crossing, which was already overcrowded, and there was a lot of noise to see that several cars had been pushed into the river, and two soldiers in military uniform, who were waist-deep in water, and placed a tow bar on the car where they had drowned.
He was wary that the cold water would freeze them, so he stretched out his hand and tried it in the water, but it was still cold, and if it was at noon or in the afternoon, when the temperature rose under the sun, it might be much better. The two soldiers in the river were the two of them who missed when they were rescuing people in the flood.
Due to the last miss, the two of them are angry, their prestige has plummeted, in order to reshape their image, except to challenge themselves in front of everyone to save face and change the image in everyone's minds, there is no way out. There is no team that does not compete, there will be competition where there are people, there will be a cruel side to competition, and there will be no moment to get ahead if you don't strive for it.
Several local officials and army chiefs came to him and asked him if the cold water of the river would freeze the soldiers? He said helplessly: "There is no way to do this? If you don't venture down the river, you won't cross the river, and their lives won't be in danger, it's just cold." ”
Watching the two soldiers tremble in the water made everyone worry. It is normal for those present to be skeptical of such a scene of crossing the river, which has never been seen before. The army chief asked him how to cross the river? He said: "This method of crossing the river is safe and effective, the car behind pushes the car in front to cross the river, and the car that crosses the river in turn pulls the car in the river, alternately with each other, and as many cars pass by." It's just that these cars have a low body and are easy to be flooded, so you can pass by being prepared. ”
There are not many measures with gold content, and a word reminds the dreamer, and everyone is full of praise when they hear it, and they go back to prepare to cross the river. Liu Xiaoqiang held the red and green flags in his hand, puffed the whistle in his mouth, and commanded the convoy to move slowly with a serious expression, accurately placing the towbar for the vehicles that had drowned in the river. There was also a soldier standing dozens of meters away from the road, repeating Liu Xiaoqiang's same actions, so that the convoy behind them could see that the unified order was in unison.
The drowned car in the river, the trailer hook is submerged in the water, and it can only be touched by hand, and only by putting the tow bar on the tow hook can it play a pulling and pushing role. It's not complicated to look at the sleeve with your eyes, but it's dangerous to touch it with your hands at the moment, and if you don't get it right, your hands will be crushed.
The local driver didn't know how long he had been trapped, so he could only wait in despair, and now he saw the People's Liberation Army descending from the sky to help him get out of the sea of suffering, and he burst into tears with excitement, choked up and unable to speak. His body shook, and the two drenched soldiers straightened up, the water on their heads flowed, and they touched their heads and raised their heads, and said to him: "Master, don't be afraid, you just go down and hold the steering wheel." Remember, if there is an obstacle in front of the car, honk the horn once to stop, two times to move forward, and three times to go backwards, ready to drive. ”
"Suck and suck, remember, stop, thank you, thank you, with your existence, I'm not afraid, suck and suck ......" The local master was grateful, grateful to Dade for talking endlessly.
After seven or eight cars were stuffed into the river, the cars in the head had already climbed out of the riverbank, and the water stored on the cars was flowing. There are also many cars on the other side of the river bank who want to cross the river, looking at this novel and unique method of crossing the river is unimaginable, but they do not have this ability, let alone want the People's Liberation Army that has already crossed the river, to pull them across the river again, they are not the boss of the ferry, they have their own mission and cannot be delayed.
The unheard-of way of crossing the river is interpreted in the exclamations of people, nothing is impossible, only unexpected. If the soldiers who have been running around in a harsh environment for many years want to survive and complete their tasks, they do not have some extraordinary skills to save themselves and survive in Jedi......
The waves rolled in the calm river, and the military vehicles loaded with relief supplies became waterway amphibious combat vehicles, swimming together in chains. Every car that came out of the river was like a waterfall, making the dusty road muddy.
The spectacular sight of hundreds of cars crossing the river together is a rare sight to behold, and the professional ethics of the journalist who grabbed the headlines forced him to lose no time in taking pictures, recording a moment that could never be replicated again. In a few years, it will surely become a rare and precious image material.
After all the cars on this side of the river crossed the river, the first car had already reached a few kilometers away, and when the convoy dismantled the towbar, the comrades-in-arms of the automobile regiment came behind and left. They can take off the wire rope, but it still takes time to remove the tow bar, and it is not good to fix it and discard it, and when it is used again, there will be regret left. It is better to be useless for a hundred days, not when it is not available, and to be prepared for trouble, in order to sit back and relax.
When the sun was in the middle, the convoy stopped on a piece of the Gobi Desert for routine parking checks. There is not a single family in sight around, only scattered horses, cattle and sheep grazing leisurely, which is extremely desolate. The soldiers took out the stove but there was no rice to cook, and at this time yesterday, all the food was eaten by the comrades of the armored brigade, and now they can only boil some boiling water to satisfy their hunger.
The car was full of rice and white flour, which was the life-saving food for the people in the disaster area, and did not belong to these hungry soldiers. Looking at the whirring blowtorch stove and recalling the beautiful moments when there was plenty of food in the past, saliva couldn't help but swallow down, how could there be so much saliva that couldn't be swallowed?
Kuroko drank a few sips of water, threw the lunch box angrily, and complained: "Hmph, where is this stinky boy Han Laoliu? Is he ......trying to starve us to death?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Captain Yu sitting alone in a dirt bag and watching the scenery, so he ran over. From yesterday to now, he always wants to find an opportunity to excuse Liu Xiaoqiang, although they are together, they have no chance to get along. Along the way, one is in the front of the car, the other is in the back of the car, and they occasionally meet on the way, all of which are to study how to drive safely, or they are repairing the broken car, which is not suitable for telling the truth.
Captain Yu had already seen through Kuroko's good intentions, deliberately pretended to be at a loss, watched him run over, and jokingly said: "Do you want to eat milk? I don't have milk for you, and my stomach is hungry and screaming, and I have nowhere to go." "Hee-hee...... Are you disgusting? If I have milk, I'll give your baby enough to eat. "Hey-pull it down, you're wolf-hearted, it's not good milk, don't scare me. Captain Yu joked.
As soon as Heizi heard this, his heart suddenly brightened a lot, knowing that he was no longer worried about yesterday's events, he took out a cigarette and gave him one, lit it and took a puff of cigarette "......" and said: "Mmmm, I said old man, you shot too hard, and you stepped on the baby's chest, do you know?" "Oh, yes, does it matter, do you need to be sent to the hospital to have a look?" "And—I can't die, the pain will pass in a few days. A young man who is jumping around, he can carry it with one foot and can't be scrapped. "Oh - it's easy to say if you don't die. Uh-huh, he, he, does he hate me? Do you want to get out of here? I can approve him to go anytime and anywhere, get out of the farther the better, get out of the butcher, don't eat hairy pigs......
"Fart?" Kuroko glared at him and said: "Not only does he not hate you, but he also happily said that it was the military medal you gave him, and he was grateful for it all his life, do you say this baby is stupid? Alas - since this baby has been following the two of us, what is it like, he has never complained about anything, he is not a problem to endure hardships and suffering, he does not complain or give in, and he is happy to be a good soldier." You, you say, how many sons of a great official can be like him? If you don't say anything, and you punch and kick him after a while, won't you be a little nicer to him? Can't you make him feel better and not be wronged?"
Captain Yu listened to his prayers, his heart still surged, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Loose is harmful, strict is love." Yesterday's formation, don't you see it? Is it really a grenade wiping your ass and hanging at home? If I didn't poison myself, maybe he and I would have been locked up a long time ago, and I would still be able to talk to you at this time? Alas, this stinky boy is good at everything, but he is bold, but he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he does not know the relationship between eggs and stones? There is no grass in front of power, and the big chief with high power says that the wind is rain, and that the nail is iron, and he is very ignorant of current affairs, and if he can't keep up, he will be eliminated from the game, is it not a joke? Hmph, if you don't let him know something, you and me and him will be ruined one day, and at that time, his father will ask the two of us, how did we bring him?
Hmph, although the rain is wide, it does not cross the grass without roots, and the Dharma is boundless and does not cross the people without fate. It's not easy to change a person, if you can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, you can only let him hit the south wall and break the bloodstream. Now I'd rather let him hate me than let him ruin his future by his temperament. Alas, I understand your heart, there is no need to intercede with me, he was born and died with us, sleeping in the wind and rain, without regrets, he is the confidence and spiritual pillar of the two of us to overcome difficulties, he is always fearless and full of vitality, full of sunshine and tireless, I can't compare with you?"
Kuroko listened to his words, his hanging heart relaxed, and he smiled and said: "This, this, so, your baby still has a conscience? "Oh-no, don't give him some color, I don't know if Ma Wangye has three eyes, when he will know that he is an egg, and then ......" "You fart, you, what can you be? You can turn me into an egg and see? Hmph-what is almost enough, that baby is not easy, don't make him uncomfortable, okay?" "You ......" Captain Yu just wanted to fight back, and a refreshing smell of rice wafted in the air, making the already hungry stomach even more noisy.
He thought it was a hallucination of hunger and dizziness, and sniffed vigorously with his nose, it was really fragrant food, could it be that some soldiers were stealing relief food? This is worth it......
"To be continued"
