Chapter 43
Deng Jianguo on the other end of the phone was panting and hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the commander! The Third Institute is already trying its best to transfer; currently, the instruments and equipment that can be moved have already 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, commander!"
Hearing this, 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 Zhenlong finished giving orders, 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 area.
Tank units were also dispatched, and one after another, condensation cannons roared like thunder, firing at the areas where the fire was most intense.
The entire Xijing Fire Brigade was alarmed by the spreading mountain fire, and more than thirty fire trucks drove out one after another, advancing toward the Mount Cuihua area.
However.
Even so, facing the raging and rampant fire, such strength still appeared too weak.
The Qin Ling Mountains in summer are already dry and hot, and a single spark can cause a prairie fire.
The mountain fire that had already gained momentum was like a wild horse that had gone crazy, desperately spreading in all directions.
The firebreaks created by the lives of firefighters and the People's Liberation Army couldn't play any role at all before being swallowed up by the flames.
"Reporting to the commander! The fire is too fierce, spreading toward 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 is completely ineffective; our regiment cannot extinguish the fire and is turning toward the Luoshan direction!"
"..."
Listening to the voices coming from the walkie-talkie, Wang Zhenlong was anxious.
Things had indeed developed in the worst possible direction.
Luoshan is their secret air force base!
Wang Zhenlong has deployed two aviation squadrons there, with 17 J-20s alone, plus a large pile of weapons and ammunition, and all kinds of fighter jets.
Once any accident occurs, the consequences will be absolutely devastating.
Even if the fighter jets are fine.
But the military secrets caused during the transfer of the fighter jets would be enough for him, Wang Zhenlong, to suffer.
"Quick!"
"Rush to Luoshan!"
Facing such a crisis, Wang Zhenlong had to take command himself and rush to the most dangerous place.
If the fire really got out of control, he would be able to immediately stop the fighter jets from flying away in an orderly manner, thereby minimizing the losses on the scene.
This is the awareness of 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 a firebreak before the mountain fire arrives and lead the mountain fire to other places.
Absolutely cannot let the Luoshan area be threatened in the slightest!
But it was precisely such an order that plunged the entire First Squadron into an 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 couldn't help but be stunned.
"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
"Give up repairing the firebreak! Evacuate immediately!"
Two kilometers, for a mountain fire going up the mountain, might only be a matter of a few minutes!
If they are not careful, this entire squadron will be wiped out!
After a long time, voices finally came from the other side of the walkie-talkie.
However, what the squadron leader said in 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 rescue, so he hurriedly said.
"Yes! You guys get on the helicopter quickly!"
"Get on quickly!"
"If you are any later, once the mountain fire burns over, it will all be over!!"
"Mountain fire?"
A confused voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"What mountain fire!"
"Officer! That helicopter fired a water cannon, and it shot several kilometers away!"
"That water spray volume, our squadron, even a hundred fire trucks can't compare to it!!!"
"The mountain fire, it's extinguished!!!"
???
The instructor had a face full of black question marks.
Completely unaware of what had happened.
"Don't joke around! There's no such thing as a helicopter that 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 shot!"
"Stop messing around!!"
"Officer!"
"I'm really not joking!!!!" ===== CHAPTER 45 =====
