Chapter 319 Chengdu, Chengdu, Chengdu
Xia Qi's flight was carried by Air China, and upon receiving a request from the Chinese control tower, she changed the route directly to Chengdu, the disaster-stricken area, without even thinking about it.
The team leader, Counselor Wang, contacted the organization through the phone on the plane and applied for returning to the team directly in the disaster area to fight. Five minutes later, the tower sent new organizational arrangements and appointments.
Xia Qi's plane did not land at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport but stopped directly at Qionglai Military Airport at 13:[-] pm BJ time on the [-]th.
When getting off the plane, two stewardesses stood at the hatch and bowed slightly to everyone, saying, "Thank you!"
"Thank you, we are all compatriots!" Xia Qi replied.
"I heard from the tower that this batch of supplies is in great need to save many people in the disaster area, and I heard you chatting just now. I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. Thank you for continuing to rush to the disaster area regardless of safety."
Aftershocks continued in the disaster area at that time, and those who went to the rescue may never return. Although they would sacrifice their lives, many people marched forward to the disaster area without hesitation.
The stewardess overheard their conversation and couldn't help but say thank you when they parted!
Xia Qi and his party consisted of 63 people, 5 of them came from the Netherlands together with Xia Qi, and the rest came from European countries.
Xia Qi made donations to his teammates, so the Dutch Rescue Association did the best job. The Netherlands is the leader of various groups supporting disaster areas in Europe.
Among the 5 people with Xia Qi, 3 are staff members of the Dutch Consulate, and the other 5 are staff members of a certain Chinese agency in the Netherlands. These [-] people are all small government officials. The first batch of disaster relief teams from other rescue organizations are similar. This is also the case. The first batch of returnees are the backbone of the country, mainly party members and league members.
Two of them will stay at the airport to assist the troops, the other three will be arranged to go to Pi County, and Xia Qi will go to Shuangliu Airport to return to the Netherlands. He is not a member of the organization and has not been assigned a task. I heard the flight attendant say so , very embarrassing, just trying to explain.
The four-eyed-officer Zheng raised his fist and said: "Wenchuan is strong, and Sichuan is strong."
The stewardess smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Come on, Sichuan!" With tears in her smile, this was the most beautiful smile Xia Qi had ever seen in her life.
After getting off the escalator (the military airport does not have a boarding gate), the stewardess shouted at their backs: "Come back and take our flight, this is our agreement." I saw two lines of hot tears already hanging on their faces.
Afterwards, soldiers came to check and collect the materials, and classified the materials and transported them away.
The whole airport was filled with the solemnity of the eve of the war. It was very busy but in order. Apart from the roar of the machines, there were the whistles of the soldiers. There was no noise like that of the vegetable market, and there were many people but it was not noisy.
Xia Qi originally wanted to find someone to ask about the situation in the disaster area so that he could go back and report to his family and friends. It can be seen that these big soldiers are all nervous and serious. Everyone is very busy and can't find anyone idle. , Surf the Internet and write a speech by yourself!
There were several major disaster areas in the Wenchuan Earthquake, and the closest one to Xiaqi is: Dujiangyan-Wenchuan-Maoxian and another disaster area along the route: Pengzhou-Shifang-Mianzhu-Beichuan.
The other three were ordered to go to Pi County, which is the front line of the Dujiangyan disaster area, and the road to Dujiangyan has collapsed.Pi County is the closest place to traffic, so it became the headquarters of the Earthquake Relief Headquarters. When you arrive there, you will listen to the organization's arrangements, and you will most likely enter the disaster area.
Xia Qi can go to Shuangliu Airport by taking Xinjin to Shuangliu, or by taking Dayi or Chongzhou to Shuangliu.Taking the latter path, the four of them can go to Chongzhou together and then separate, and Xia Qi is not in a hurry, so he can make a detour.
The driver of the car was a soldier. He was young and had a strict mouth. He adhered to the secrecy regulations and did not disclose the details to Xia Qi, an international friend.
The angry Xia Qi wanted to knock him on the head, I'm not one of those bums who sell their ancestors...
Can only see with the eyes...
Trucks full of soldiers with ancient honorary titles on them, ambulances, excavators, large and small trucks with logos of supplies in the disaster area, and private trucks with the slogans "Come on Sichuan" and "Sichuan Xiongqi" Cars pass by.
This is support from all sides when one party is in trouble!
Although one day had passed since the earthquake occurred, there were still aftershocks around Chengdu, so the car did not take the high speed and took the provincial highway for about four to ten minutes.
Suddenly the car swayed from side to side like a boat on the top of a wave. The driver slammed on the brakes and shouted: "Get out of the car and stay away from the mountain."
Xia Qi thought that you are not dumb, Wu Ren (including the driver) hurried to the other side of the road away from the hillside.
There were still many people like him, and there was about seven or eight seconds between them. Everyone thought it was safe, and suddenly there was another bump, Xia Qi staggered and almost fell.
After 27 hours, the aftershocks are still so strong, Xia Qi can imagine how strong and harmful yesterday's earthquake was.
After a while, everyone confirmed that there were no aftershocks. They were about to board the car and set off. Xia Qi saw an officer talking on a walkie-talkie not far away. : "Please don't worry, chief, and make sure to complete the task!"
Xia Qi once stayed in the No. 15 Steel Company, so it was natural to look at the unit number: Tiger Company of the 203rd Regiment of the [-]th Army.
In China, if the company is not numbered but named, then this company is a time-honored unit with historical honors, and everyone in this company has sharp knives.
"Everyone is there, stand at attention and rest."
"A row of seven shifts pushed the military vehicles to the side of the road, and the others listened to my password, turned left, and ran forward."
The black-faced company commander took his soldiers down the provincial road and disappeared from the trail in front of the mountain. Xia Qi didn't know where he was going, but he knew that the company commander received a death order.
Xia Qi, who had stayed in the No. [-] Steel Company, knew that troops with their own names would either stay in the defense zone or move hard.There must be a big problem on the other side of the mountain that needs to be solved by this company commander, otherwise the chiefs will never use the sharp knife company.
Then the traffic police came to command, and it turned out that the road ahead had collapsed and blocked it.The traffic police asked the driver of the pallet truck with the excavator and bulldozer if he could borrow the machinery on the truck.
"We came to the disaster area to send an excavator. Of course we can borrow it, but I can't drive it. My boss and master are in the private car in front. I asked where they are." The tow truck driver spoke with a Henan accent. Explained to the traffic police.
"Wow!" There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd. This Henan boss is domineering. Three 12-meter trailers are equipped with four excavators and two bulldozers.
Someone asked: "You are coming in the wrong direction, wouldn't it be faster to go directly to Beichuan?"
"We are workers building the Chengchang Expressway. Isn't this an earthquake? My boss thinks that the disaster area will definitely need excavators and bulldozers. If the pallet trucks are not easy to find, we could have arrived last night."
The driver on the road spontaneously gave way to the pallet truck driver.
There was another obvious shaking during the road clearing, and those empty cars were dancing in the water. A fellow traveler who claimed to be an expert told Xia Qi that the aftershock was at least magnitude 5.
Three hours later, the road cleared up and passed the landslide. Xia Qi saw that the mountain along the road had obviously experienced a landslide. An excavator was half smashed, and there was a large pool of blood in the cab.
Xia Qi gave a military salute to the empty and broken excavator through the car window.
After arriving in Chongzhou, Xia Qi wanted to break up with the three people who came together. The three aftershocks along the way made Xia Qi understand why the two stewardesses were crying.
This is still outside the disaster area, so what about the epicenter?
Xia Qi wanted to say something to the three of them, but the words got stuck in his throat, leaving only one sentence: "Take care!"
He is an international friend, and the military vehicle sent him to Chengdu, but the three heroes who went to the country had to hitch a ride with someone else.
This has been a habit in China for 3000 years, to take care of the guests first.
Xia Qi became very depressed, and the driver who sent him glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Are you a veteran? I saw you saluting the military. What do Dutch soldiers look like?"
"I am not a Dutch soldier, I am a Chinese soldier, and I am a soldier of the Seventh Steel Company."
"Which steel seven company?"
"Seventh Steel Company of the 702nd Regiment of the Nanjing Military Region." Xia Qi straightened his body a little proudly.
"Tsk! How can you be a fake foreign devil? That's the order of battle."
Xia Qi was speechless, and turned to look outside the car.I cursed in my heart: You are the fake foreign devils, and your whole family are the fake foreign devils.
"If you are, please don't shame him."
"How did I shame him?"
silence!
Misunderstood silence!
"I am not a deserter. I want to play in the Champions League. The stadium is my battlefield. Only those who go to the disaster area are heroes."
"I know that you are also heroes. You brought urgently needed supplies for us, which can save many lives, so you are all behind-the-scenes heroes, but the division of labor is different from ours."
"Tsk!"
"That's not what I meant just now. I want to say that the honor of the Seventh Steel Company is worth remembering and protecting."
"Do you know the honor of the Seventh Steel Company?"
"I am very clear. I know that the Seventh Steel Company is the number one combat order in our country. They have always fought the hardest battles and gnawed the hardest bones. Do you know? They entered Yingxiu Town at 2:10 in the morning today, and they are the number one in the entire army. A troop entering the epicenter. That is Yingxiu Town is the epicenter of the epicenter. Really, I really want to be their soldier."
"Steel Qilian is in Yingxiu Town?"
"Aren't you a soldier of the Seventh Steel Company?"
"Where is Yingxiu Town?"
silence!
Suspicious silence.
Tian was chattered to death, Xia Qi wanted to explain several times, what's the use, took out his phone and found that his father might be right, he was really not Chinese enough, at least he didn't keep the phone number of Chief Lin who helped him from Nanjing Military Region.
Squad leader Su Ning does have a phone number, but the troops are not allowed to carry mobile phones when performing missions, and even if they bring them in Yingxiu Town, they still can't get through.
Xia Qi, a dead horse as a living horse doctor, still dialed one. If it is: the phone you dialed has been turned off...
Opening the Gaode map on the mobile phone, Xia Qi found Yingxiu Town, which is the only way to Jiuzhaigou and Siguniang Mountain in the south of Wenchuan County.
"Is it serious there?"
Silence for a while: "My level is not high enough, so I don't know the specifics. We have many barrier lakes formed by landslides after the earthquake in the Minjiang River section. I heard that there will be heavy rain tonight..."
The young warrior's voice was a little whimpering.
Barrier lake, heavy rain, and aftershocks!
Does God think it's not big enough?
"where are you from?"
"Ginkgo Township" (after the earthquake and into Yingxiu Town)
"Is the family okay?"
silence!
Painful silence!
Xia Qi knew that he had asked a stupid question!
"Didn't go back and take a look?" Xia Qi understood that it was another stupid sentence once the words came out of his mouth!
"I'm a soldier!"
When we arrived in Chengdu, it was already past 11 o'clock at night, and Xia Qi was arranged in the guest house of the military region.
Xia Qi couldn't sleep after taking a shower. Through the window of the hotel, he saw people queuing up on the corner of the street. These people queuing up were not empty-handed.
Some people carried quilts and cotton-padded clothes, some carried several boxes of instant noodles, and some carried a large bundle of shovels, shovels and other tools.
Xia Qi couldn't sleep and had nothing to do, so he got up and went downstairs to have a look. When he reached the corner across the street, it turned out that the aunt of the street committee was collecting aid. Donors lined up from the corner of the street to the opposite of the military hostel. The line was about three to four hundred meters long. .
The queue is so long, the crowd is not impatient, and some people are still queuing in pajamas.
Xia Qi also wanted to do something for the disaster-stricken area. He asked the aunt of the neighborhood committee: "Hi ma'am, can I donate money?"
"Ma'am?" The aunt looked at Xia Qi coldly.
Xia Qi quickly took out his ID: "I just returned to China."
"International students? Overseas Chinese?"
"Chinese."
The aunt's face looked a little better: "In China, people who are older than you are called sisters."
Another aunt who was doing registration next to her interrupted, "Call her Grandma Liu!"
"Gua Wazi! The most aunts!" The aunt's eyes were red-eyed, and Trump rushed out.
Everyone laughed and had fun!
Women care about age no matter what time it is.
Of course, Xia Qi would not be dull. He changed his words and said, "Come on, Sichuan!"
Several aunts from the neighborhood committee said in unison: "There is nothing that can defeat us Sichuanese, except not being able to play mahjong."
The standard Sichuan Mandarin sounded festive and energetic, Xia Qi nodded and said, "Sichuan Xiongqi!"
"Young man, we don't accept donations here. You can go to Tianfu Square or Chunxi Road where the Red Cross is collecting donations."
Another aunt added: "Young man, how is your body? Donating blood is more needed than donating money."
"Can you donate blood? I can. I'm an athlete and my body is very flattering."
"There are Tianfu Square and Chunxi Road."
"Thank you sister." Xia Qi immediately stopped a taxi: "Master, go to Tianfu Square or Chunxi Road."
"Where are you going?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a blood car donated."
"Donate blood?"
"Ok!"
When we arrived at Tianfu Square, Xia Qi asked, "How much?"
"free of charge!"
"what??"
"You are here to donate blood, how can I charge you money? Thank you, young man!"
"you are welcome!"
At this moment, Xia Qi finally understood why at one o'clock in the night, there would be crowds of people circling several times in front of the four blood donation vehicles.
This kind of Chengdu, this kind of Sichuan, and this kind of China will surely flourish!
