Chapter 125 The Tough Railway Soldiers
Under the dim twilight.
On the vast Gobi Desert.
There was a sound of wheels hitting the rails in the distance, and two bright beams of light broke through the darkness and flew towards them.
Looking with the help of weak light, Li Aiguo was suddenly shocked and couldn't close his mouth.
There are two big flags hanging on the front of the train.
The flag fluttered in the strong wind, brightly illuminating the dim surroundings.
There were uniformed railway soldiers standing on the carriage, on the front of the car, and on the flatbed trailer behind it.
There was no room to stand in the carriage, and some of them were pedaling on the board slots, holding on to the handrails, half of their bodies dangling in the air, like circus performers.
The railway soldiers looked calm, as if this was not the first time they had done this.
If it were left to future generations, I would have to write at least a 100,000-word self-examination.
As expected of a dedicated railway force, they actually treat the train as a commuter car.
It’s better now.
One train has not yet been towed away, but another one has arrived.
There is still the faint light of the locomotive behind it, it should be another train.
This is the rhythm of queuing on the dead railway.
The drivers and masters at the local locomotive depot are probably going to be scolded.
Li Aiguo guessed correctly.
There were about four to five hundred railway soldiers who came to participate in the rescue mission this time.
A train has carriages carrying people.
Another column carried eight flat wagons, with various rescue equipment and materials on them.
The railway corps is a regular military establishment.
From employees to leaders, everyone has the same military rank as the army guards.
The person who led the rescue team was a company-level officer named Cai Fangshun.
The accent sounds a bit barbaric, and he seems to be from Sichuan Province.
People in Sichuan Province are famous for their hard work and hard work.
When recruiting railway soldiers, the largest number of places are allocated.
Cai Fangshun strode off the train and gave Commander Zhang a military salute.
"Comrade Commander-in-Chief, Cai Fangshun, commander of the 11th Railway Corps Company, has led a team to rescue. Please give the order immediately!"
It is already night.
Commander Zhang did not expect that the railway soldiers would be so desperate.
"Comrade Cai, the pots and stoves have been buried in the camp. Let's let the comrades eat before we can start work."
"No need, we are on the train. I’ve already eaten some solid food!”
Cai Fangshun took out a black bag from his pocket and smiled.
"The superior leader said that this rescue mission is very important."
He frowned and thought for a moment.
It seemed like he couldn’t remember, so he patted his thigh and said.
“It’s very important anyway, we can’t waste a moment!”
Commander Zhang finally met someone who was more aggressive than the rescue team.
Take a deep breath and say: "Okay, let's move into the scene immediately."
At this time, the railway soldiers had already formed a neat team.
Under the illumination of the train headlights, the atmosphere seemed solemn and solemn.
Compared with the comrades of the rescue team, their discipline is stricter and more like real
Li Aiguo turned his head and looked at the cannon at the rear of the train, and then looked at a few people carrying submachine guns. Comrade, the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
Hmm.
They are the real iron-blooded troops.
Commander Zhang took out the drawings and briefly introduced the situation to Company Commander Cai with the help of the headlights.
“According to Comrade Little Driver’s suggestion, we have decided that you will take reinforcement measures on the top of the cave during excavation.”
“Comrade Little Driver?” Cai Fangshun wrinkled in confusion. brow.
“This is Comrade Little Driver.” Commander Zhang pointed at Li Aiguo.
Many comrades in the locomotive depot are from the railway service.
After the railway soldiers changed careers, the first choice unit was also the locomotive depot.
For example, the deputy director of the passenger transport workshop, Duan Chang Xing Liuzhu, and Minister Niu of the Armed Forces Department were all railway soldiers.
For railway soldiers, the locomotive depot is like another home, and Li Aiguo is a relative.
Cai Fangshun stood up and shook hands with Li Aiguo vigorously:
"Let me just say, except for us people on the railway, most people can't think of such a wonderful solution."
< br>Commander Zhang: "."
The rescue team leaders: "."
"I have to help you this time, because the environment is relatively complicated during the excavation process. , we need to dig and construct at the same time." Li Aiguo hurriedly changed the topic.
“Don’t worry, I, Lao Cai Fang, have been drilling holes for most of my life. Even my mother-in-law said that I stay in the hole all day and don’t want to come out.”
Captain Cai patted his chest and said: "These people I brought are all carefully selected hole drillers. There will be absolutely no problem."
Although time was tight, Cai Fangshun still opened a drill for the railway soldiers on the spot. A brief battlefield pep talk.
"My God, please listen to me one by one."
"This mission is related. It is related to."
He seemed to want to I couldn't figure out the identity of the person trapped in the cave, and I hesitated for a long time without telling him.
Finally, he simply patted his thigh and said: "In short, the mission can only be successful, not failed."
"You idiots, if anyone dares to be careless, it will delay the big event. , I will never be lenient to you, old man.”
The railway soldiers should be in the same place as Cai Fangshun.
After hearing the dialect that Li Aiguo did not understand, they all straightened their chests.
“Please rest assured, company commander, I promise not to bully anyone, not to mess with things, and not to criticize anyone!”
"Make sure to complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization." Some members of the rescue team almost couldn't help laughing at this time.
Captain Cai seemed very satisfied with his pre-war mobilization, and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
In the subsequent process.
Captain Cai vividly demonstrated the tough style of the railway soldiers.
Narrow section of road leading to camp.
Captain Cai looked at the truck transporting supplies behind him, then at the two big rocks blocking the road in front, touched his short hair, and cursed: "I dare you to follow the old man's path. I'm sorry you're tired of living!"
He waved his hand and pointed at the two boulders: "Excavation team, blow it up for the old man!"
Commander Zhang seemed to think that Captain Cai He was acting recklessly, and when he was about to step forward to stop him, he was stopped by Li Aiguo.
“Comrade Commander-in-Chief and Railway Corps comrades have delivered dozens of tons of cement and hundreds of square meters of sand. If these materials cannot be delivered to the entrance of the cave, the rescue will definitely be greatly delayed.”
"Then it can't be blown up?"
"It's stipulated above?"
"That's not true"
Commander Zhang shook his head with a wry smile and turned away. Look at the barbaric behavior of the railway soldiers.
Where is the rescue?
Clearly it’s about sabotage.
The so-called excavation team is actually the team responsible for drilling holes and firing bombs.
After receiving the order, seven or eight young men jumped out of the truck.
Pick up an 8-pound sledgehammer and jingle it a hundred times on the rock to make a standard hole in the rock.
Then bury the nitamine explosive, insert the detonator, and light the fuse.
boom.
With a burst of fire, the rocks fell apart.
This is not the end yet.
Seven or eight more young men took out shovels from their backs and started slashing at the blasted area.
The whole process takes less than ten minutes.
A smooth and smooth road is completed.
Li Aiguo couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Comrade Cai, you are professionals in building roads."
"Of course! My dear, whoever dares to block the old man's way will be punished by him. Flatten it!”
Lianchang Cai seems to be used to this rude way of speaking.
I think so.
In difficult and difficult circumstances, people often need to use such primitive swear words to vent their inner pressure.
Just like when a charge is launched on the battlefield, you will never see anyone holding their throats and singing Peking Opera.
Before you rush to the enemy's formation, your comrades will be scared away.
The railway troops are well prepared, with large and small equipment and all kinds of materials available.
After an on-site meeting, Cai Fangshun led two technicians to measure the structural data of the cave and design a plan.
With the detailed data on the plan, neatly drawn lines, and standardized construction regulations, even the experts from the rescue team could not find any faults.
No one at the scene can say that these people are gangsters.
"This is the data of the stress structure. The arc of the vault is 32. Since the upper part of the cave has been loosened, it is easy to loosen."
"So we should use steel mesh and steel arch frame Build the tunnel lining, and then reinforce the top with concrete during the excavation process."
Cai Fangshun stood up and explained the plan to Commander Zhang.
Commander Zhang looked at Li Aiguo in surprise.
This plan is the same as that designed by Li Aiguo, but there was no detailed data at the time.
After careful study with several experts from the rescue team, Commander-in-Chief Zhang slapped his palms on the table with a determined expression.
"Okay, let's proceed according to this plan!"
"You sons of turtles, get started!"
An order was given.
All the units on site were busy.
Cai Fangshun directed the railway soldiers to set up a steel structure on the top of the cave.
Local comrades began to help the railway soldiers transport cement and sand and mix concrete on site.
Looking at the densely packed steel pipes and building materials piled up like a hill, Commander Zhang finally understood why Captain Cai had to blow up those two rocks.
The work of the rescue team is like embroidering mandarin ducks playing in the water with embroidery needles. It is about moving a thousand pounds with one, four or two.
The railway soldiers are like cannons, blocking mountains and blasting mountains, blocking rivers and cutting off rivers.
Two types of work with completely different styles, under the joint command of Captain Cai and Commander Zhang, are moving towards the same goal.
Due to the need to reinforce the top, alternate construction methods were adopted on site.
The tunnel boring machine excavated a distance of one meter, the rescue team members withdrew, and the railway soldiers reinforced the top of the cave.
As a result, the speed of excavation will inevitably be greatly reduced.
It will take at least two days to really open up the collapsed area.
Li Aiguo is already considered idle at this time.
Resuming his duties as an investigator, he squatted on a rock and stared at the situation below.
At the entrance of the cave, the guards are on guard duty.
The guard was brought by Cai Fangshun, holding a submachine gun and looking alert.
In this case, the timely person is not short-sighted and dare not do tricks.
Li Aiguo’s job has become much easier.
Yawning and wondering whether to go back to the camp to rest, Yan Zi hurried in from outside.
"Little driver, the old cat is looking for you."
