The flames were blazing, covering the sky and the earth.
When the Beiwe Refinery was blown to pieces by the second wave of attacks, fires inevitably started all over the sky.
Seeing the huge flames that could illuminate the whole city, David Lawrence felt as if he was staying in the ancient city of Pompeii that was about to be destroyed by the volcano. He rushed out of his residence and insisted on personally directing the air defense and fire extinguishing despite the dissuasion of his subordinates——
If he doesn't do it at this time, others won't do it either.
"Organize air defense, order fighter planes from surrounding airports to take off, and regain air supremacy. The whole city sounded the fire alarm and ordered all firefighters to rescue the Beiway Refinery. It must be rescued by me." When Mr. Lawrence shouted the order, his voice changed.
.
If Zhou Qingfeng doesn't take action, he will stab the enemy in the vital point. There are more than a hundred oil refineries throughout the United States, with an annual refining capacity of about one billion tons. However, one-tenth of these refineries can survive.
That's good. The Bayway Refinery is one of the precious ones.
The commander-in-chief ordered the rescue, and the entire fire protection system in New York and even Jersey City was immediately activated. Thousands of firefighters rushed to the fire scene in various vehicles, and hundreds of fire trucks were on the road with their wailing rescue calls. There was no way to go out at this time.
People are just afraid that they will be shot afterwards.
To say that David Lawrence has a lot of money, this can be seen by looking at the fire trucks he picked up from the ruins of the city. The more than ten high-power high-injection fire trucks in the lead are all powerful equipment. When they arrive at the scene, they put down their outriggers and start pumping water.
Burning oil refinery sprays firefighting foam.
After spraying for less than ten minutes, the firefighters in front felt that they could no longer hold on. Several firefighting teams threw away their spray guns and ran back.
Why? This is a refinery! The exploded pipes contained all kinds of oils, including crude oil, gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. When heated to high temperatures, they all caught fire. And this was a flowing fire. The fuel flowed along the ground, and the flames rolled out.
Come.
So fucking scary!
More than a dozen fire spray guns can't stop it. Firefighters are human beings, and they can only escape when encountering such a situation. Humans can escape, but a dozen high-injection fire trucks that have just lowered their legs will be in trouble.
When David Lawrence arrived at the scene in person, two fire trucks were unable to move because the hydraulic pipes in the legs had been burned by the high temperature. They had to be thrown into the fire and burned.
"I'm David Lawrence." Seeing everyone running, the Commander-in-Chief took out his pistol and fired it into the sky, shouting with a fierce breath: "Everyone look at me, I'm here
I live and die with you here."
It's not that the boss wants to fight for his life, but this refinery is too important. Without it, it will be impossible to survive in the future! Mr. Lawrence doesn't even care about being angry, he just wants to save his refinery now.
But when they saw the boss with his gun drawn out and standing on the front line, none of the firefighters who came over could no longer escape and had no choice but to risk their lives.
But sometimes risking your life is useless. Even with David Lawrence personally supervising the battle, an oil storage tank still exploded under the high temperature. The explosion was earth-shattering, like a volcano erupting, with hot flames spraying hundreds of meters around.
It splashed out and fell to the ground as a big fireball.
The oil storage tank exploded, and the flowing fire came again. The momentum was even more fierce than the explosion of the catalytic cracking pipeline. Thousands of tons of gasoline in the tank collapsed, and the igniting liquid flowed outwards. There was no way to stop it.
!
Now David Lawrence was scared, and he didn't dare to act recklessly. He quickly asked someone to throw away the water hose, water cannon, and water gun in his hand, and quickly got in the car and retreated two hundred meters to re-establish a fire prevention position!
Fortunately, the Bayway Refinery is right next to the River River, and a large number of firefighters knew that if they did not control the fire, the fire could burn the entire city of Newark. They desperately set up water pumps and hoses, and from then on
Water was pumped from the river, fire-fighting foam was poured into it, and a high-pressure spray gun was used to spray the fire scene.
More than a hundred vehicles formed a fire-fighting system, pumping two to three hundred tons of water from the river every minute. However, this small amount of water was still unable to withstand the raging fire in the fire scene.
But at this time, you have to carry it if you can't. The Beiwe Refinery covers a large area, with oil storage tanks and pipelines everywhere. If a series of big explosions occurs, no one can escape. To put it mildly, life and death are not a concern at this time.
To put it mildly, everyone is afraid of death.
However, the fire was too strong, and David Lawrence knew that he needed to call more firefighters. He directly set up the radio and ordered fire trucks from other surrounding cities through the military system to rush over immediately for support.
The funniest thing was that the officer on duty asked how many fire trucks were to be dispatched? David Lawrence yelled angrily: "I am the New York regional commander of the Brotherhood of Steel. If you only need to dispatch a few fire trucks, do you need me to call in person? Immediately.
Bring all the fire trucks under our control around New York, the fire here is too big."
David Lawrence was furious, but at this moment, the second attack wave in the sky had not left yet. After they dropped the cluster bombs, they climbed up, and after turning around, they found that-ah ha..., you are actually still putting out the fire!
Stop talking nonsense, dive, at a height of 100 meters, and open the way with the cannon!
When twelve Super La-11s rushed from the sky in a formation, the firefighters fighting the fire were in bad luck. The 23mm cannons bombarded them along the way, leaving them with no place to hide.
Boom, boom, boom..., the dense artillery shells fell, causing the concrete pavement of the street to crack and fly everywhere. The fire-fighting vehicles were hit and clanged, and one shell could completely wipe out a precious high-injection fire truck.
, twist, burst, disintegrate, without exception.
"Asshole, who is in charge of the air defense?" Seeing the heavy losses suffered by the firefighters, David Lawrence's heart ached. This is unlucky enough, why do things keep happening?
An air defense officer ran over and explained: "Sir, these planes fly too low, and the time from appearance to attack to disappearance is very short. We only have a few machine guns and individual anti-aircraft missiles, so we can't stop them at all."
"
The officer was full of grievances and felt that he had done his best. But the darkened David Lawrence didn't care so much. He took out his pistol and directly pulled the trigger. He shot the officer in charge of air defense to death with two bangs.
He cursed: "I don't want to listen to excuses for not fighting well and to be executed on the spot."
After one officer died, another officer came up. The latter watched the former's body fall in front of his eyes, and could only straighten his back and shout loudly: "Sir, I will reorganize the air defense immediately."
At this time, if you don’t want to die, just go for it. The new air defense officer gritted his teeth and sent heavy machine guns and individual anti-aircraft missiles one by one towards the buildings near the oil refinery. He shouted to his soldiers: "If the sky lets go again,
Enemy planes are coming over. Before the Commander-in-Chief shoots me, I will shoot you first!"
Under the sea of flames, everyone had no choice but to fight. The second wave of attacks swept through the second circle, and if they wanted to come back again, they would have to face the red-eyed Brotherhood soldiers. The two sides fought for several rounds, and twelve fighters were destroyed.
Three were shot down, and the soldiers responsible for air defense suffered one to two hundred casualties.
Seeing that there was no advantage to be taken, the second wave of attacks reluctantly evacuated, and also killed several refinery oil tanks in other places, adding several fire points for fire fighters.
The first attack wave destroyed the airport, the second attack wave set fire to the refinery, the third attack wave swept the port, and when the fourth attack wave arrived, the entire area around Staten Island was enveloped in flames and thick smoke.
