Deng Jianguo on the other end of the phone was panting and hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the Chief! The Third Institute is already doing its best to relocate. Currently, the instruments and equipment that can be moved have been moved..."

"As for Song Qi, he got off work early today..."

"Our unit is evacuating steadily, and there have been no casualties. Please give instructions, Chief!"

Hearing this, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong finally put his hanging heart back into his stomach.

As long as Song Qi is okay, that’s good.

"Your unit should quickly advance toward the headquarters!"

After Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong finished ordering, he hung up the phone and began to command the various units to fight the fire.

Half an hour later.

A full twenty-four armed helicopters took water from the reservoir in the northern suburbs of Xijing and flew fully loaded toward the raging Mount Cuihua Mountain area.

Tank units were also dispatched, and one after another, condensation shells struck like thunder toward the most raging parts of the fire.

The entire Xijing Fire Brigade was alarmed by the spreading mountain fire, and more than thirty fire trucks filed out and advanced toward the Mount Cuihua Mountain area.

However.

Even so, facing the rampant and raging fire, such strength still seemed too weak.

The Qinling Mountains in summer are already dry and hot, and a single spark can cause a prairie fire.

The mountain fire, which had already gained momentum, was like a wild horse gone mad, desperately spreading in all directions.

The firebreaks created by the lives of firefighters and the People’s Liberation Army didn't play any role at all and were swallowed up by the flames.

"Reporting to the Chief! The fire is too fierce, spreading through the entire forest area with the northwest wind, covering an area of about 30 square kilometers, and is still expanding rapidly!"

"The fire is spreading rapidly toward the Luoshan direction!"

"The firebreak has completely failed, our regiment cannot extinguish the fire, and we are turning toward the Luoshan direction!"

"..."

Listening to the voices coming from the walkie-talkie, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong felt anxious.

Things were indeed developing in the worst possible direction.

Luoshan is their secret Air Force base!

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong had deployed two aviation squadrons there, with 17 J-20s alone, plus a pile of weapons and ammunition, and all kinds of fighter jets.

If any accident occurs, the consequences would be absolutely devastating.

Even if the fighter jets are fine.

The military secrets leaked during the transfer of the fighter jets would be enough for him, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong, to suffer.

"Quick!"

"Head to Luoshan!"

Faced with such a crisis, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong had to take command himself and rush to the most dangerous place.

If the fire really got out of control, he could immediately order the fighter jets to fly away in an orderly manner, thereby minimizing the losses on the scene.

This is the awareness of Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong, as the commander of an army!

At the same time.

In the Luoshan area, more than fifty people from the First Squadron of the Xijing Fire Brigade were anxiously digging firebreaks.

Just a moment ago, the headquarters had given a death order!

They must dig the firebreak before the mountain fire arrives and divert the fire elsewhere.

Absolutely cannot let the Luoshan area be threatened in the slightest!

But this order put the entire First Squadron in unprecedented danger.

The northwest wind tonight was blowing too fast and too fiercely!

The speed at which the mountain fire spread far exceeded the predictions of the Fire Bureau!

It actually arrived in front of the First Squadron more than half an hour earlier than predicted!

The mountain fire burning up the mountain was like flying; swallowing fifty people was just like child’s play!

"Reporting to headquarters!"

"The First Squadron has been surrounded by the mountain fire!"

"Repeat! The First Squadron has been surrounded by the mountain fire! The mountain fire is visually estimated to be only two kilometers away from the First Squadron!"

Listening to the sound from the walkie-talkie, the commander was also stunned.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

"Give up repairing the firebreak! Evacuate immediately!"

A distance of two kilometers, for a mountain fire going up the mountain, might only be a matter of minutes!

If they are not careful, this entire squadron will be wiped out!

After a long time, voices came from the other side of the walkie-talkie one after another.

However, what the squadron leader said on the walkie-talkie made the commander a bit confused.

"Holy crap!"

"Commander!"

"Is that our armed helicopter?"

"It’s too damn cool!!!"

The commander was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, thinking that people from the military region must have come to the rescue, so he hurriedly said.

"Yes! You guys get on the helicopter quickly!"

"Get on quickly!"

"If you’re any later, when the mountain fire burns over, it will all be over!!"

"Mountain fire?"

A puzzled voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"What mountain fire!"

"Chief! That helicopter fired a water cannon, and it shot several kilometers away!"

"Our squadron’s hundred fire trucks can’t even compare to that water spray!!!"

"The mountain fire, it’s extinguished!!!"

???

The instructor had a black-man-question-mark face.

Completely unaware of what had happened.

"Don't joke around! What kind of helicopter can fire water cannons! Do you think you’re filming a movie!"

"Even if it could, whose helicopter can extinguish a mountain fire several kilometers away with one water cannon!"

"Stop messing around!!"

"Chief!"

"I’m really not joking!!!!" ===== CHAPTER 45 =====

At the same time.

Above the sky, an armed helicopter was rapidly approaching the Luoshan direction.

On the helicopter, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong was full of sorrow, holding a map, but in his heart, he had already prepared for the worst.

As the commander of an army, such a serious mountain fire disaster occurred within his territory, causing such serious losses to the country, so he was naturally to blame.

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong had the backbone of a soldier; he would not do things like pushing the responsibility onto his subordinates and keeping himself out of trouble.

At this moment, he had already prepared himself psychologically to take on everything.

"Reporting to the Chief... this mountain fire, it seems... it seems to be extinguished...?"

Suddenly, an extremely hesitant voice came from the assistant beside Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong was shocked and hurriedly looked down through the glass window.

Below, there was really no trace of the mountain fire at all.

Everywhere were charred tree trunks and barren land, and for some reason, the air was filled with a hazy mist, which looked extremely strange.

Wait a minute?

Mountain fire?

Really extinguished? ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
