Looking down from the air, Xiaodai Village is already in the vast ocean. Under the gloomy sky, only the roofs above the water can be seen.
Most of them are low-rise bungalows. This kind of building has very weak resistance to floods, especially those made of yellow mud mixed with dry straw. They don't even need to be hit by floods. They will collapse after being soaked for a long time.
.
Jiang Yong has already counted the people there. There are more than 200 people from more than 30 households in Xiaodai Village, but only half of them have escaped. In other words, half of the people are still trapped in the village or have died.
The ground rescue team organized by Jiang Yong was responsible for relocating the villagers from the small temple, while Yao Yuan personally directed the helicopter team to search and rescue the villagers in the village.
After Modric lowered his flight altitude, Yao Yuan clearly saw several figures on the roof in front of him, hugging each other in the heavy rain. Half of the house had collapsed, and the entire house was in danger.
"Richie, right ahead! See it, get down!" Yao Yuan covered his earphones and shouted loudly.
Modric quickly stretched his head to observe quickly, and immediately found the target. He pushed the operating lever and flew straight towards the heads of those people.
Yao Yuan didn't wait for Lin Xiaohu, quickly put down the rope, pulled the rope and slid down. It was too late for Lin Xiaohu to stop him.
Everyone has forgotten that Yao Yuan is a young man, and a young man with very good physical fitness.
After carefully standing on the roof, Yao Yuan felt that the tiles on the roof were already shaking, and it seemed that they would collapse with a little force.
What frightened him the most was that the three people in front of him were obviously a family of three. The woman was holding a child less than one year old, and the man was protecting the woman, looking desperately at the water that kept coming up.
Seeing Yao Yuan falling from the sky, they subconsciously looked up and saw an iron bird above their heads, and they were at a loss. They didn't know what a helicopter was, and they had never seen an airplane.
"Why are you still standing there! Give me the child! Quick!" Yao Yuan shouted to them, stretched out his hand, and moved over cautiously.
The woman is still confused.
The man suddenly reacted and saw Yao Yuan wearing camouflage uniform. He said excitedly, "It's the People's Liberation Army! It's the People's Liberation Army! Quick! Give him the child!"
All rescue workers of Nanfang Industrial wear outdoor work clothes owned by the company, which are designed and produced by its own clothing factory. However, the people in the headquarters basically wear 87-style three-color jungle camouflage uniforms, except that there are no logos such as epaulettes, and local
Soldiers are no different.
Only then did the woman feel free to hand over the child to Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan held the child tightly with one hand, grasped the rope tightly with the other hand, and shouted from above, "Pull up!"
Lin Xiaohu quickly started the winch, and the rope was stirred, pulling Yao Yuan up. The others immediately took the child, wrapped it in a coat, and assigned one person to hold it.
Lin Xiaohu took over from Yao Yuan and went to rescue people.
Before the house collapsed, the couple was rescued without any danger.
At the same time, two other S-70 utility helicopters also discovered the villagers trapped on the roof one after another, and rescue work was quickly launched.
The S-70 utility helicopter can carry 15 people. If used for rescue, it can carry 5 lightly injured people or 2 seriously injured people. If there are no injured villagers, three S-70 utility helicopters can rescue the villagers in only two round trips.
The sleepy villager No. 100.
However, as time went by, only more than 30 villagers could be found, which means that other villagers were most likely killed or washed away by the flood.
Modric took off from the Central Primary School football field for the third time. He turned to Yao Yuan, who was sitting in the back seat between the driver's and passenger's seats and said, "Boss, we can only stay in Xiaodai Village for ten minutes.
Fly back to the school airport to replenish fuel."
"Okay, go against the direction of the flood and search for Xiaodai Village, try to fly as low as possible." Yao Yuan said in a deep voice.
Modric said, "I tried my best, but the weather was really bad."
He is a very senior pilot, with 3,000 flying hours on the S-70 utility helicopter. Only he can be sure to continue carrying out search and rescue missions because the rain is getting heavier and the crosswinds are getting stronger. The other two S-70s
Have returned to the school airport for supplies.
In the face of natural and man-made disasters, Modric no longer only regards this flight as a job. He also hopes to rescue as many survivors as possible.
Suddenly Jiang Yong called on the intercom: "Someone has fallen into the water! Hurry!"
Yao Yuan quickly searched down and saw that a bamboo raft was swept in by the surge, and all the people on it fell into the water. A nearby bamboo raft was struggling to row in that direction.
"Jiang Yong, I saw it. Send the people out first and leave this place to me!" Yao Yuan quickly gave the order.
Jiang Yong looked up and said, "Understood! Ayuan, there must be survivors nearby. After the people are transferred out, I will come back immediately to continue the search and rescue!"
"The first batch of rubber boats should have arrived. Contact Zhou Fei." Yao Yuan said.
"receive!"
Modric saw several people who fell into the water and quickly flew over to descend. Lin Xiaohu and another rescuer quickly lowered the rope and rescued the people who fell into the water one by one. Among them were Dai Chunqiang and his wife and their children. The family of three was in shock and wrapped in
Shivering under the blanket, the child opened his eyes and looked at the iron bird curiously, then looked out and down, it was so novel.
"Boss, we have to return." Modric looked at the fuel balance and reported.
Yao Yuan was very reluctant, but had no choice but to agree.
Just as he was turning the corner, Yao Yuan saw what seemed to be a shadow on a big tree in the distance. He quickly picked up his binoculars and looked over. It was too far away and blocked by the rain screen so he couldn't see clearly, but it vaguely looked like a person's.
figure.
He gritted his teeth, pointed over there and said, "Have you seen that big tree? Fly over and have a look!"
Modric looked in the direction Yao Yuan pointed, frowned and said, "Boss, that's a rainstorm area, it's very dangerous, and we really don't have enough fuel!"
"Fly over and have a look. If it's a person, we are his hope. Modric, believe in yourself, you can definitely do it!" Yao Yuan insisted.
Modric gritted his teeth, broke the joystick, changed direction and flew over.
It was really a person, a teenage girl, hugging a tree trunk. Half of her body was already submerged in the water. The water level was rising rapidly. If no one found her, there were only two results waiting for her, or she would be washed away.
Or drown.
Lin Xiaohu quickly rappelled down without saying a word. Modric tried his best to control the helicopter as close as possible to the big tree. Lin Xiaohu swam over and tried more than a dozen times and finally succeeded in grabbing the girl's arm. Modric and others
There was no time to retract the rope. The gusts were getting stronger and stronger, and the plane could easily lose control. He climbed directly to the altitude and pulled Lin Xiaohu and the girl up. He turned around and returned to the plane while retracting the rope.
After sitting on the cabin floor, Lin Xiaohu was still frightened, just a little bit, he was also hanging...
