After arriving at the airport in the capital of Sichuan Province, Li Qingshan specially arranged for a military vehicle to pick up Li Ying and the others to the military area station, where they were waiting to follow the next batch of troops stationed in the disaster area to enter Beichuan City.

When they were about to arrive at the military area station, Li Ying and the others immediately felt a tense atmosphere: on the highway heading northwest, groups of military vehicles were like long dragons, circling and winding toward Sichuan North City. In front of each vehicle

Banners of "Earthquake Relief" were hung on them, and rows of soldiers stood solemnly on military vehicles. Many of them were carrying or holding search and rescue tools. In a military camp not far away, a large number of soldiers were quickly gathering.

It is estimated that this is the next batch of rescue troops to set off. At the same time, at the nearby military airport, reconnaissance planes and military transport planes flew into the sky "rumblingly" from time to time, and passed over Li Ying's heads...

After arriving at the military region headquarters, more than a dozen people took a break, and then Li Ying walked into Li Qingshan's office alone and asked Li Qingshan to follow the next batch of troops into Sichuan North City.

Li Qingshan said to Li Ying: "You can't enter Sichuanbei City yet. Now, 50,000 of our troops have gathered outside the disaster area and are repairing the road leading to Sichuanbei City. In the next two days, we will have more troops

It is estimated that the number of troops participating in earthquake relief will reach more than 100,000 when they gather in the disaster area. However, currently Sichuanbei City is still an isolated island. No news is fed back from it, and outside troops cannot enter. For this reason, we follow the instructions of the Military Commission

, be prepared to do whatever it takes to send airborne troops into the urban area of ​​northern Sichuan before 12 noon tomorrow to find out the disaster situation there, understand the casualties, grasp the key disaster areas, and build an information channel for internal and external communication to provide us with

Follow-up personnel, materials and equipment will intervene in the disaster area on a large scale to provide basic information. At the same time, they will also contact the local government to organize self-rescue work. Therefore, you must wait for our airborne troops to enter Sichuan North City to find out the situation inside, and at the same time

We have to wait for our engineering troops to repair the road before we can go inside to carry out search and rescue work."

After listening to Li Qingshan's words, Li Ying became anxious: Based on this calculation, their team will not be able to enter Sichuan North City until at least two days later. And by then, it will be the fourth day after the earthquake, and it will be already

The prime time for rescue has passed. In these two days, I don’t know how many people will die due to untimely rescue. Among them, Su Xiaodan, Gu Liming and others are likely to be included...

So, he asked Li Qingshan: "Uncle, I want to parachute into Sichuanbei City with the airborne troops. I have Xiaoyao Gong. If I go in an hour earlier, I will probably save a few or even a dozen more people who are dying."

Victims of the disaster. At the same time, I have to rush to Xiushui Town as soon as possible to find the place where Su Xiaodan and the others stayed to see if she is still alive."

Li Qingshan was shocked, looked at him with strange eyes, and said: "Xiaotian, are you kidding? Do you know the risks of this parachute drop? First of all, the airdrop location is in a plateau area, and the terrain and climate conditions are very complex.

Moreover, it is estimated that one can only parachute from an altitude of about five thousand meters, which is very difficult; secondly, this is the first time since the establishment of our airborne force that parachuting has been carried out without ground command and guidance, without ground markings, and without meteorological data.

The dangers of participating in earthquake relief in this way can be imagined; thirdly, Northern Sichuan City itself belongs to the plateau area, with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters. If you airborne 5,000 meters above it, it would be equivalent to an altitude of 8,000 meters, which is as high as Mount Everest.

The difference in altitude is not big. Most people will be severely hypoxic up there. Moreover, at such a high altitude, it will also freeze. Finally, the most important point is: you don’t have any skydiving experience, and you don’t even have any basic skydiving skills.

You don't even have common sense. You must not take this risk in such complex and dangerous terrain and climate conditions."

Li Ying felt a twinge in her heart when she thought that Su Xiaodan might be pressed under some ruins now, waiting for others to rescue her for a long time - although she might have been dead long ago, or she might have disappeared the moment the earthquake happened.

Died. However, he would rather believe that she is still alive. As long as she is still alive, with her strong and unyielding character, she will never give up her desire to survive. And this is the most important thing for people in desperate situations.

It is important. A person who is always full of hope and will to survive will often survive longer in the same predicament than those who are weak-willed and give up on themselves...

Therefore, after hearing Li Qingshan's advice, he said resolutely: "Uncle, no matter what the situation is this time, and no matter how much risk I will encounter, I will save Dandan and other people who need my rescue.

I've thought about the risks you mentioned, and they shouldn't be a big problem for me: I've practiced Xiaoyao Gong, and there's no problem at all with lack of oxygen and cold at high altitudes. My energy is enough to ensure that I can overcome these problems.

Difficulty; although I have not skydived, I have a strong psychological quality and will never panic in the air. As long as the instructor tells me how to pull the parachute rope and successfully opens the parachute, I can land safely. You can completely understand this.

You can rest assured.”

At this time, Li Ying's father Leng Jidao heard that Li Ying had come to the military area, so he rushed over from Li Qingshan's home to meet his son. After asking about the basic situation, he learned that Xiao Huzi's mother was still in the earthquake-stricken area, and her life or death was uncertain.

, suddenly became anxious, and said to Li Qingshan: "Brother, please don't stop Xiaotian. It's rare for him to have such affection. No matter what happens to Xiao Huzi's mother in the end, let him fulfill his responsibility.

Besides, he has such good kung fu, so regardless of anything else, he should be able to protect himself."

Li Qingshan heard what Leng Jidao said and couldn't stop him anymore, so he had to call a staff officer and ask him to send Li Ying to the airborne division overnight, and arranged for him to be the first batch of personnel to parachute into Sichuanbei City.

Li Ying returned to the place where the team lived and told them that he was going to follow the airborne troops into Sichuanbei City first, and asked them to wait for the news here. After the road to Sichuanbei City was clear, he would enter with the large army. Then he would

will come to them.

Before leaving, Li Ying took out 100 bottles of "Xiaoyao Dew" from the 2,000 bottles and put them into his backpack to prepare for first aid after the airborne landing.

The next day, more than thirty paratroopers had been waiting at the airport since eight o'clock in the morning. However, the news from the front was always that the visibility in the air was too low, and there were no gaps in the clouds to see the ground, so it was not suitable to carry out parachute landings.

action.

Li Ying looked up from time to time and stared at the dark clouds in the sky. She wished she could just point her hand at those dark clouds and recite silently in her heart: "Dark clouds go away, dark clouds go away!"

"Then those dark clouds really dispersed - unfortunately, this was just a trick played by adults to tease children. Although I had practiced Xiaoyao Kung, there was nothing I could do about the dark clouds.

After finally waiting until 11:40, good news finally came from the front: above Sichuanbei City, a very narrow gap was exposed between the clouds, overlooking the ground. Although this gap is small, as long as the pilot is skilled,

, adopting the method of airborne landing in batches, it should be possible to send some airborne troops to parachute.

So, these more than 30 paratroopers plus Li Ying, led by Zhang Bo, the director of the Airborne Troops Research Institute, carried all the parachute equipment and communication equipment and ran towards the airport, which was already parked and ready to take off.

A large military transport aircraft. Accompanying it were two reporters from military region newspapers. They were running towards the aircraft while looking back from time to time to take pictures.

The commander of this parachute drop, Zhang Bo, knew that Li Ying was Commander Li's nephew, so he took special care of him and ordered two experienced and physically fit paratroopers to take care of Li Ying. However, while running towards the plane,

The two paratroopers discovered that Li Ying was much faster than them, and immediately left them behind. They followed Zhang Bo and took the lead in boarding the transport plane.

Soon, accompanied by deafening roars of motors, the transport plane took off. Two minutes after takeoff, the plane rose to an altitude of nearly five thousand meters.

In the cabin, the instructor began to inspect the parachute equipment and other tools of the soldiers one by one. Zhang Bo took this opportunity to give the soldiers his final instructions: "Comrades, through satellite cloud images, we can see the gaps in the clouds above our airdrop point.

It is very small. When you are waiting for the next parachute jump, you must get out of the warehouse as quickly as possible and try to jump a few more comrades. At the same time, because the ground at the airdrop point where we landed is very uneven, there are hillsides, rocks, and there is a river nearby.

, everyone must pay attention to the following landing points, pay attention to the ground conditions, and prevent accidents. In addition, we must be careful not to increase the distance between each other too much. No matter our height difference, we must find ways to walk together.

, the formation cannot be dispersed. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

The soldiers who were undergoing equipment inspection shouted in unison.

At this time, due to the lack of oxygen in the cabin, many soldiers began to feel chest tightness and dizziness, with uncomfortable looks on their faces. Only Li Ying remained calm and did not show any discomfort.

Soon, Zhang Bo received the instruction: "The aircraft can see the ground target and can parachute!"

After hearing Zhang Bo's instructions, a commander stood at the door of the cabin and began to mobilize before the war: "Comrades, the time has come for the party and the people to test us! The disaster is an order! The people in the disaster area are looking forward to it.

Let us go to the rescue! After we jump down, we must do our best to find out the situation in the disaster area and give it back to the superior leaders, so that the leaders of the Central Committee and the Military Commission can know the situation here and make timely decisions.

Send an emergency team over to rescue the people in the disaster area! Do you have the confidence to win?"

"have!"
Chapter completed!
