The sun went down and it was almost 21:00 when it got dark. The search and counter-examination work lasted for a full two hours and was still going on. Several high-power lighting lights illuminated the scene. It was like daylight. Everyone was
An extremely serious expression.
The six members of Cao Xing's crew who had stood there motionless for two hours were already shivering from the cold, and their lips were bloodless. Without Xue Xiangdong's order, no one dared to let them relax and stomp their feet to keep warm, and they did not dare to do anything.
of movement.
If Dingjunzi can survive, they are willing to stand until the next dawn.
Zheng Kaiyun was pacing back and forth in her military coat. She no longer cared about the rules about smoking in the flight area. One by one, there were cigarette butts wherever she walked. The seven officers and soldiers of the security company on duty also lined up neatly to set up the army.
The attitude is there, no different from Cao Xing's maintenance team.
Some people may think that the officers and soldiers of the support company are unlucky, but no snowflake is innocent during an avalanche.
Li Zhan saw that the team responsible for inspecting the fighter planes had begun to dismantle the engines. In the freezing weather, the maintenance brothers could only wear thin labor protection gloves to work. The fighter planes must not be moved, and nothing on site was allowed to be moved.
, until the missing screwdriver is found.
He couldn't bear it, so he pulled Cong Dawei aside and asked in a low voice, "If you can't find it, just keep looking for it? Is it useful?"
After all, he is just a new pilot who has been in the army for more than a year. He is the same as Han Hongjun, Li Zixin and others. Of course, there are many things in the army that he has never seen or experienced, and many things that the aircraft maintenance has encountered are even more familiar.
Never heard of it. Li Zhan knew the seriousness of such accidents, but was not familiar with the relevant handling methods.
Cong Dawei sighed and said, "I keep looking and won't stop. I dismantled the engine and couldn't find it, so I continued to dismantle it and cut it into eight pieces. If I still can't find it, I turned the entire station over and looked for it. The leader said to dig in the ground.
Three feet is no joke. If necessary, I will dig three feet deep. All in all, until I find it, don’t do anything else. Let’s all look for it together.”
It's absolutely crazy, but it's reasonable and necessary. The screwdriver that disappeared inexplicably in the flight area is a time bomb. If this time bomb is not found, the safety hazard will not be eliminated. Tonight's night flight was ruined, and the flight training down the road was also ruined.
You must stop until you find it.
Li Zhan even suspected that if he could not find it on this fighter plane, Xue Xiangdong would probably dismantle the other fighters into pieces to check and look for it.
"What if I still can't find it?" Li Zhan couldn't help but ask.
Cong Dawei shook his head decisively, "It's impossible, absolutely impossible to find, even a fly, as long as it doesn't leave the camp, even if it dies in the most remote corner, we have to find it and bury it, if necessary!
"
He sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "A similar thing happened to the brothers a few years ago. After replacing the wearing parts, there was an extra rivet. The maintenance team had been in contact with three aircraft, but they couldn't find it.
There was a missing rivet somewhere, so I finally dismantled all three aircraft and matched them one by one. Finally, I found out that when I received the spare parts, the warehouse had neglected to provide an extra rivet."
"From the deputy commander in charge to the warehouse assistant to the handlers, including the maintenance team, all were punished and transferred to the military. No one was left behind."
Li Zhan gasped and was secretly shocked. Normally, his attention was on flying, and his understanding of aircraft maintenance was limited to following Lou Yiwang during the Second Division. Niu Yaoyang and others did daily maintenance in order to understand the fighter aircraft.
The specific structure of the aircraft was unfamiliar to aircraft maintenance accidents. It was only then that I discovered how rigorous maintenance the aircraft had gone through before being handed over to the pilots.
Li Zhan sighed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, a Cheetah car came rushing over and braked suddenly, dragging two black tire tracks on the slightly wet ground. Before the car stopped, Han Bo opened the door and jumped out.
He got down and walked anxiously towards Xue Xiangdong.
Cong Dawei sighed, "Now Deputy Commander Han is in trouble."
Han Bo, the deputy commander of the maintenance group, as the regiment leader in charge of maintenance, Han Bo definitely has the main leadership responsibility. Li Zhan remembered that deputy commander Han was on vacation to spend the Spring Festival at home, and his home was in Beijing.
Kucheng is three hours away from the station. From the dusty Cheetah car with snow on the roof, it can be seen that Han Bo must have rushed to the station like crazy as soon as he received the call.
Han Bo gasped and reported to Xue Xiangdong in a low voice, "Captain, I'm here."
Xue Xiangdong gave him a cold look and said nothing.
Is Han Bo unlucky? He is not unlucky. As the deputy commander in charge of aircraft maintenance, he bears the unshirkable responsibility for anything that happens in the aircraft maintenance department. Among the several deputy commanders, Yang Jinshan, who is in charge of operations, has the least real power, and the one who is in charge of aircraft maintenance has the least real power.
Maintenance is the most popular job in everyone's eyes. The more important the position, the more important the responsibility, whether you are on vacation or at work.
The temperature of about ten degrees below zero was completely ignored by everyone. As time went by, the possibility of finding a screwdriver became smaller and smaller, which meant that we had to expand the search scope and never give up.
The impact has already been caused, and it is a huge impact. Not to mention that tonight’s night flight was ruined, the subsequent flight training is basically out of the question. No matter how this matter is resolved in the end, the overhaul of aircraft maintenance is
Indispensable, the discipline of the entire regiment and station will definitely not be lacking. Such a major man-made accident must be taken seriously wherever it occurs. Railway maintenance departments, machinery manufacturing workshops, high-end
Technical laboratories, etc., once a similar accident occurs, comprehensive rectification is essential.
Safety is usually the focus of the chief official, which shows its importance.
Li Zhan could do nothing to help, but it was not his style to just stand and watch. He calmed down the mood of the officers and soldiers of Cao Xing's maintenance team through calm chats, and carefully asked about the whole process again, and there was no trace of any suspicion.
The operations of Cao Xing's maintenance team can be said to be very standardized, if they had not lied. Li Zhan believed that they could not lie on such a major matter.
Seeing Zheng Kaiyun standing in front of the seven officers and soldiers of the security company talking to a cadre, Li Zhan asked Cao Xing, "The security company hasn't touched any tools, right?"
Cao Xing shook his head, "No, after they handed over the security vehicle to us, they waited at the designated location according to regulations. They are not new people and know the relationship between them."
"Isn't there a new recruit? New soldiers don't have much consciousness." Li Zhan raised his finger and pointed at the private at the end of the team over there, "Yes, the recruit hasn't left the army yet, right? How did the private get here?"
Everyone looked at it, but they didn't think it was strange.
Cao Xing said, "There are also people who are demobilized from the army in advance, mainly because of insufficient manpower. The new training regiments in the provincial capital are trained in batches, first come, first trained, first demobilized. However, military ranks are put on in advance and have not been officially awarded.
.”
In the past few years, it has been winter recruitment. New recruits basically join the army in December and are demobilized in mid-March of the following year. Depending on the actual situation, some units will be recruited earlier and some units will be delayed. If the company is in urgent need of manpower, complete it first.
The newly trained soldiers will be discharged from the army in advance, and they will be awarded the titles in a unified manner after they are officially discharged from the army. This is a good way to solve the problem of the shortage of young people.
"Recruit eggs are not always accurate."
Li Zhan said this and walked over.
Everyone was so sensitive at this moment. As soon as Zheng Kaiyun saw Li Zhan approaching, she immediately stopped talking to her cadres and followed Li Zhan with her eyes.
Li Zhan walked straight to the seven officers and soldiers of the support company and looked at them one by one. Finally, his eyes fell on the face of the young private. He was surprised to find that the young private was swaying, his lips were white and his forehead was covered with sweat. The temperature was more than ten degrees below zero.
I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Squad leader, is your soldier sick? He is sweating profusely." Li Zhan said to the third-term non-commissioned officer at the head of the queue.
The third-term sergeant came over quickly, took off his gloves, held the young private's shoulders to check his body temperature with his palms, and asked in a low voice, "Tang Songchen, how do you feel?"
Private Tang Songchen was shaking so hard that he couldn't speak. He could only see his mouth opening and opening.
The third-term sergeant hurriedly walked over to report to Zheng Kaiyun. Before he could finish his words, Tang Songchen collapsed and was about to fall to the ground. Li Zhan was quick to catch his hand, but his hand was accidentally hit by something. He suddenly
Startled, he grabbed Tang Songchen's shoulders and lifted him up. His voice was colder than ice, "Stand still!"
His voice attracted the attention of many people. Everyone's nerves were at their most sensitive, all movements were extremely careful, and no one talked frequently.
When Li Zhan asked this question, he was undoubtedly shocked.
"Stand still!"
Li Zhan quickly took two steps back to distance himself, and shouted again in a higher pitched voice.
Tang Songchen staggered and finally stood firm with gritted teeth, and burst into tears.
"What is that in your pocket? Take it out." Li Zhan stared at Tang Songchen coldly.
As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone knew what was going on.
Zheng Kaiyun reacted the fastest. She walked over in three steps and then grabbed Tang Songchen's shoulder with one hand and started to search her body with the other.
Tang Songchen took out a screwdriver from the left pocket of Tang Songchen's jacket.
Zheng Kaiyun's face turned darker than the night on the spot. Even without checking, he was sure that the screwdriver was the one thrown away by the maintenance staff. Looking at Tang Songchen again, Zheng Kaiyun wanted to shoot him.
Everyone stopped moving.
Xue Xiangdong and other leaders of the 101st Regiment walked over quickly. When he saw the screwdriver in Zheng Kaiyun's hand and the young private who was crying so hard that he could not stand still, he understood everything. Xue Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief and put down a large stone.
But to be on the safe side, he asked Cong Dawei and Cao Xing to come over and check the screwdriver. The numbers matched and they were sure to be the missing one. At this time, the soldiers in Cao Xing's crew wanted to cry with joy.
"Lock him up."
Zheng Kaiyun, who was on the verge of an explosion, pointed at Tang Songchen and gritted her teeth and said to the third-term sergeant, then changed her words, "Come here from the security company! Lock them all up!"
Immediately, a squad of soldiers from the security company, led by the station military affairs section chief, escorted seven officers and soldiers from the security company into the commuter car and directly sent them to the solitary confinement room, including the leading cadre who was talking to Zheng Kaiyun just now.
.
Some people are happy and some are sad. To be precise, some people cry until they have no tears left.
Zheng Kaiyun spent more than 20 years cultivating Qi to control her emotions that were on the verge of collapse. She made her tone as gentle as possible and said to Xue Xiangdong, "Captain Xue, please take a step to speak."
As he spoke, he walked to a remote area.
Xue Xiangdong frowned and pointed at Li Zhan, "You come too."
The two walked over and began informal negotiations.
