Chapter 739 739 Rescue
Author: Long Boat Crossing the Moon
At the end of the twelfth lunar month, the base started to set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate the New Year. Snow blocked the road at the door again, making it still difficult for residents to travel.
On this day, the team that went out to search for salt mines sent back information that they had found a salt mine in Qing Province. However, due to the heavy snow blocking the mountains, the car could not drive, and the supplies were almost running out, so they had to ask the base to send people to rescue them.
Cheng Lin said that this batch of salt mines has almost tens of thousands of tons, and there are fifty vehicles sent out. The drivers and Yun mine personnel have a total of two hundred people.
After they sent back the distress message, the telegraph machine may have malfunctioned due to the low temperature, and Cheng Lin could no longer contact them.
When the base management sent this team out to look for salt mines, they bought enough food for them to last for a year. They set out in August. According to the plan, they would not return until around August next year, but unexpectedly, they found it in advance.
Went to the salt mine and ran into trouble on the way back.
"The situation is a bit bad. First, we don't know their specific location. Second, even if the base sends people to rescue them, the snow outside is higher than people. It's difficult to drive and ride a horse. Planes can't fly. The wind is too strong.
It’s big, and there’s strong airflow.”
But those people went out to find salt mines only after being assigned by the base. If they were not rescued, the more than 100,000 soldiers in the base would be heartbroken.
“Can helicopters fly?”
"I can't fly, the wind is too strong, the fog is very thick and there has been hail in the past few days."
The base is now in a dilemma. Many soldiers have organized themselves and volunteered to rescue the trapped team. However, the outdoor temperature has reached minus 40 degrees. For their safety, the base has not given permission.
The matter was at a stalemate. When Cheng Lin was in a dilemma, his assistant ran over and told him that a rescue team of thirty people had formed a rescue team and drove away five large trucks and left the base to rescue the trapped team.
After hearing the news, Cheng Lin was so angry that he immediately sent twenty people to chase the rescue team, but in the end they returned without success. A rumor suddenly spread in the base that the team that went out to find the salt mine was trapped in the
In Qinghai Province, the base planned to give up on the rescue. Their families braved the heavy snow and came to the office building to demand an explanation. Some people accused the base of being ruthless and ruthless, and held up banners in front of the office building with blood written on them.
The management held a meeting overnight. Some managers felt that they should send more people out to rescue the trapped team. It would be better to fly a helicopter. It would be faster. Although the risk factor is high, if this matter continues, the residents may be disappointed with the base.
.On the other hand, if they don't send people to rescue, there may be impulsive people who organize and leave the base to rescue the trapped team.
Of course, there are also some managers who feel that the residents are heartless. Less than two years after life got better, these people began to rebel. Anyway, when the trapped team left the base, they took away enough food for a year, and they were not short of clothes.
Shoes, even if the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and trapped, as long as you have fire in your hand, you will be able to survive until next year. The so-called running out of ammunition and food is just a lie weaved to deceive the base.
"Chief of the base, do we need to explain this to the family members outside?"
"What's there to explain? The base gave them a place to live, and let them have enough to eat and drink. They poured it out, picked up the bowl to eat, and put it down to curse, right? The base did a hundred good things that were beneficial to them, but they didn't do it either.
We are grateful, but something bad happens. These people are going to cause trouble and threaten us. Let them make trouble, it is so cold outside, they will freeze to death sooner or later."
"You can't say that. It's their family members who are trapped. They will definitely be anxious. Besides, the trapped team left the base in order to find salt mines. The remaining salt in the base is less than 100 tons. To put it bluntly,
If we cannot get back this batch of salt mines, no one will be able to eat salt in a year."
Everyone here knows the importance of salt. Qing Province is a major salt-producing province. In recent years, the base has sent people to Qing Province every year to look for salt mines. In the past few years, there has never been a team looking for salt.
This situation was an accident this time.
"Continue to send people to look for it. Can the small helicopter take off in the next few days?"
"As long as it doesn't hail, it can take off."
——
In the small courtyard, Cheng Lin and Luo Yang rushed back from the base in the snow. Cheng Lin found Ye Fu and Jiang Run and talked to them alone for an hour. After an hour, Cheng Lin left. Ye Fu and Jiang Run
He quickly packed his luggage and looked ready to go out.
"Are you going to rescue the trapped team?"
Ye Fu shook his head, "To be precise, we are going to rescue the tens of thousands of tons of salt mines."
Ye Fu was not sure how long she would have to go this time. Although there was no shortage of food at home, she still left a lot of supplies, including food, medicine, water, generators and gasoline.
"It's too difficult for you two. Whenever the base has something that can't be solved, it will come to you."
Ye Fu smiled and said, "The main reason is that it is difficult to transport tens of thousands of tons of salt mine back. The base is very short of salt now. If we send other people there, we can at most bring back those who are trapped."
"You must pay attention to safety and come back early."
"Don't worry, we will be back in a month at most."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Ye Fu and Jiang Run arrived at the base airport. The small helicopter was ready. Although Luo Yang wanted to go on the mission together, the helicopter only had two seats.
After receiving the map handed over by Cheng Lin, the two got on the helicopter. Cheng Lin had already marked the approximate location. The telegram sent back by the trapped team mentioned Eshan in the central part of Qing Province. Cheng Lin guessed that they were trapped there.
There.
The helicopter took off slowly, and Ye Fu waved to Cheng Lin and others below. A few minutes later, the helicopter flew into the thick fog and disappeared without a trace.
"I wonder how long it will take to fly from here to Qing Province?" Flying into the air, Ye Fu started chatting with Jiang Run.
"Normally, it might take two and a half hours."
"What about abnormal circumstances?"
Jiang Run was silent for a few seconds, "I can't tell, maybe four or five hours. If it deviates from the route, it may take longer."
Ye Fu couldn't help but smile, "I dare not say anything about others, but with you here, we will definitely be able to reach Eshan within two and a half hours."
Jiang Run raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "You have so much confidence in me?"
"Of course, other people's eyes are eyes, but your eyes are clairvoyance."
Six and a half hours later, the helicopter landed in an open space in Eshan, Qinghai Province. As soon as Ye Fu got off the plane, he couldn't help laughing.
As expected, a man can't boast, he will be blown away when he boasts. Jiang Run really flew the wrong route for two and a half hours, and it took them six hours.
"It's just a mistake. You won't take the wrong route when you return." Jiang Run coughed and couldn't help but save face for himself.
"Well, I believe you, hahahaha..."
