Taohua Town is the largest town under Wanxian County, and it is also the transportation hub connecting Wanxian County and Xichuan. The economy there has always been very prosperous because of its convenient transportation. There are more than ten permanent residents in the town.
Thousands of people, this time there was an earthquake, and the epicenter included Xichuan and Wanxian. Needless to say, as the middle location between the two places, Taohua Town's losses would not be small.
"Go to Peach Blossom Town." Feng Sizhe only thought about it briefly before making a decision. Immediately, a team of several hundred people headed towards Peach Blossom Town on foot.
Peach Blossom Town!
This town, which is famous for the peach blossoms blooming on the roadside in summer, is no longer beautiful at this moment, but only tiles falling to the ground, a mess.
The roars of adults, the cries of children, and the lamentations of the elderly are the current situation in Peach Blossom Town.
Yin Jiang, the mayor of Taohua Town, looked at all this with red eyes. He was hating that his power was too small, his influence was too small, and he didn't do the work he should have done before the earthquake.
Yin Jiang is just a mayor and has not worked in Taohua Town for a long time. So this time, although he took Feng Sizhe's order and brought a regiment of soldiers back to Taohua Town, some people headed by Hui Town Party Committee Secretary
He really didn't take him seriously at all.
When Yin Jiang said that this was what Governor Feng Sizhe meant, the town party secretary even more arrogantly said, "There is no Governor Feng in Capital Province anymore. That is all in the past tense. Who will listen to his orders?"
All this caused Yin Jiang indescribable pain. Seeing that none of his colleagues seemed to believe him, all he could do was to let the soldiers of that regiment take as many people as possible out of their homes and take them to places outside the town.
Go to a square.
But even though Yin Jiang had regressed, other town committee leaders did not buy his blame at all, and even asked the local town police station officers to arrest him on the charge of disturbing social stability.
Those soldiers could only watch all this happen. It was not easy for these soldiers to interfere in local affairs without clear instructions from their superiors. So when the earthquake happened, Yin Jiang was being taken to the small cell where he was going to be imprisoned.
On Black House Road.
It was precisely because Yin Jiang had not entered the room where he was being held and was still in the open space that he had time to react when the earthquake struck, allowing him to escape with his life. Relatively speaking, other town leaders were miserable.
At that time, these people were still happy about detaining Yin Jiang, and were still chatting and laughing happily in the town committee building, but the sudden earthquake arrived, and they were not given much time to react.
Dozens of cadres were directly killed by the collapsed building, and the remaining survivors with personality were also disabled. It can be said that a dignified town government was disintegrated in an instant.
The former secretary of the town committee also died in the office. In this way, Yin Jiang became the actual person in power. However, this status is really uncomfortable, because Taohua Town failed to implement Feng Sizhe's order, resulting in heavy losses.
Yin Jiang, who took over all the work, also felt like he didn't know where to start.
The leader of the People's Liberation Army also came to Yin Jiang at a loss. "Mayor Yin, the situation in Taohua Town is not optimistic now. Countless people have been killed and injured. Although we have sent a regiment of troops, compared to the situation in front of us,
Judging from the disaster situation, it is still a drop in the bucket."
"Captain Li, what do you think we should do?" At this time, Yin Jiang also had no backbone. After all, he was only in his thirties and had never experienced anything similar. Now looking at the tragic scenes in front of him, he
I was really shocked and didn't know what to do.
"If you want help, you can only ask your superiors for help." Commander Li answered loudly.
"Yes, ask for help." Yin Jiang was reminded, "Commander Li, you immediately order the best runner under your command to send ten people, five to Wan County, and five to Xichuan. We want to
Reinforcements, we want food, we want drinking water, we want medical supplies, we want everything."
"Okay." Captain Li nodded. This was also the most tragic scene he had experienced since joining the army. He could be considered a person who participated in the 1998 flood fight, but compared to that big flood, the earthquake damage in front of him was
Obviously, he is much more powerful and domineering, so much so that he doesn't even know what to do.
Captain Li is indeed a soldier. He quickly arranged for the ten best warriors in the regiment in terms of long-distance running and gave them a fatal order, which was to notify Xichuan and Wanxian as quickly as possible, even if it was
Even if you run away with two legs, you must report the situation in Peach Blossom Town.
The ten soldiers left quickly after paying a standard military salute. What faced them was not a flat road like usual training, but a difficult road full of dangers and roadblocks.
Because aftershocks still happen from time to time even now, and you don't know when a stone as tall as a person around you will suddenly be moved, and it may hit you.
At this time, the dedication of the people's soldiers was fully demonstrated. For these compatriots, for these people, for these people who have no blood relationship with them, all soldiers dedicated everything they had, including their strength, including their beliefs.
Even life.
An hour passed. Mayor Yin Jiang and Captain Li, who were studying how to better rescue the Taohua Town disaster in a makeshift headquarters in the square outside the town, suddenly received a report that the ten people dispatched were
One of the rescuers returned.
As soon as he heard that he was back so soon, Commander Li was furious. His first instinct was that he was a deserter. Faced with this dangerous mission, he was afraid and fled back.
But just when Commander Li was about to order the soldier to be arrested and sentenced to military justice, the curtain of the temporary headquarters was opened, and Feng Sizhe, who was covered in dust and even had some blood on his body, walked in with a group of people.
"Governor Feng!" Yin Jiang was shocked when he saw the sudden appearance of Feng Sizhe. He really didn't expect that Feng Sizhe would appear here at this time. He shouldn't be sitting in the Xichuan Disaster Relief Exercise Headquarters.
? Why is he here?
"Comrade Yin Jiang, Commander Li, how is the situation in Taohua Town now?" Feng Sizhe didn't have any extra polite words. He met the ten-man team sent out halfway and briefly learned about the situation in Taohua Town.
Later, he felt that the situation here was not good, so he asked the other nine soldiers to continue to complete the mission. The situation in Taohua Town was not good, and it was indeed necessary to let Xichuan and Wanxian know. Of course, it would be best if they could send some forces.
Okay. He himself and another soldier quickly returned to Peach Blossom Town.
After listening to Feng Sizhe's words, Yin Jiang finally came to his senses and immediately introduced the current situation in the town.
"Governor Feng, I'm useless. I have a responsibility. I didn't complete the task you gave me..." Yin Jiang started self-examination as soon as he came up.
"Okay, Comrade Yin Jiang, now is not the time to hold people accountable. Please hurry up and tell me the current situation in the town." Feng Sizhe waved his hand, "What time has it been?"
At this point, I don’t know if we can save a few lives.
After being reprimanded by Feng Sizhe, Yin Jiang did not dare to talk about the issue of responsibility, but introduced the situation in Taohua Town.
After Yin Jiang's introduction, Feng Sizhe learned about the first-hand situation, that is, the current situation in Taohua Town is indeed not optimistic.
First, because Yin Jiang's power was limited, the instructions from Feng Sizhe he brought back were not fully implemented, and he himself was almost caught and detained. This directly led to the pre-disaster in Taohua Town before the big earthquake.
Insufficient preparation.
Second, Captain Li and others did not receive effective support from the local government. The direct cause was that some items needed for disaster relief were not placed in the best safe areas. After the earthquake, many vehicles carrying items were also affected.
The disaster was severe, resulting in the direct loss of a large amount of disaster relief items.
Third, when the earthquake occurred, except for some people in Taohua Town who were forcibly taken away from their homes by People's Liberation Army soldiers, most people in Taohua Town were unprepared. Even the primary and middle schools in the town were still in class, and there were thousands of children there. But the only thing
Fortunately, when the earthquake occurred, it happened to be during recess, and some children were playing in the playground, so the damage was not so great. This is also a blessing among misfortunes.
Fourth, all external traffic in the town has been interrupted. Today, Taohua Town seems to be an isolated city without rescue, which makes the situation here more complicated and dangerous.
Fifth, aftershocks are still happening, and there may even be one every few minutes, which greatly slows down the rescue speed of PLA soldiers.
six,......
seven,......
In a short while, all the pros and cons of Taohua Town were fully displayed. After learning these situations, Feng Sizhe frowned even more tightly. At this moment, he also knew that the situation here was indeed very serious, and even if
He came in person, and there was no better way at the moment. After all, the roads were impassable, there was no communication, and he was only one person, so he couldn't change anything.
"Fenglei, have you written down what Mayor Yin Jiang and Captain Li just said?" Feng Sizhe turned around and asked his secretary Yin Fenglei.
"Boss, I've written it all down." Yin Fenglei answered quickly.
"Okay, compile him into a file immediately, and then send someone to send it to Wanxian and Xichuan. Remember, it must be fast to let more people know about the situation in Taohua Town." Feng Sizhe said sharply, and after saying this
, he said to the other following cadres, "Comrades, it's time for us to show our strength. As party members, we must lead by example at this time. Now I declare that all comrades who are active will rush forward."
Join the front line of disaster relief. We work in groups of five and cooperate with the People's Liberation Army soldiers to save more people. Remember, maybe if we work harder, one life will have a chance to be reborn because of our efforts.
