In today's evening news, the two hosts were dressed in black, looked solemn, and reported the following news in a slow tone.
"According to the latest measurements from the National Earthquake Network, at 14:37 on November 27, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck Haizhou City. Huairen County, Tianlin County, Mahu County and many other places also experienced the strongest earthquake in history.
More than 1,300 aftershocks have occurred so far, with the largest aftershock reaching a magnitude of 7.7. This is a rare occurrence in history with two main shocks.
Due to road and communication interruptions in the earthquake-stricken area, the number of casualties is currently unknown.
After the earthquake, the great man immediately issued important instructions, requiring everyone to arrive at the rescue site as quickly as possible and as early as possible, and to make every effort to rescue and resettle the victims.
After the earthquake, the China Earthquake Administration and the National Disaster Reduction Committee have urgently launched a level one response and have dispatched more than 3,000 rescue workers to the disaster area.
......
At the North China Military Region Command, Commander Shen Tianjun was giving his final instructions.
"I'm sure everyone knows this. Just half an hour ago, the most powerful earthquake since the founding of the People's Republic of China struck Hong Kong City. Traffic is now cut off in the affected area, and we don't know what's happening inside. We must hurry to the epicenter and set up emergency communications!"
"Commander, please give your orders!"
"Airborne Regiment!"
"arrive!"
"The road has been buried by the sliding mountain, and we can't get in for now. I'm ordering you to send out one hundred people, divided into teams of ten. Carry emergency radios and parachute in! You must immediately ascertain the situation in the disaster area!"
"Yes!" Captain Wang Youtian of the 1st Airborne Regiment agreed without hesitation.
Just at this moment, a different sound was heard in the field.
"Commander, this won't work! The smoke and dust in the earthquake zone are so thick that we can't see clearly. You're asking the soldiers to make a blind landing! Don't you know how dangerous blind landings are, Captain Wang? You can't play with the lives of our soldiers!"
The speaker was Deputy Political Commissar Li Youtian. After saying this, he looked at Captain Wang with hope.
Captain Wang frowned, but still replied with a firm face, "I guarantee that the mission will be completed!"
Commander Shen patted Captain Wang on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Come back alive!"
Commander Shen is a general who has come through the war years. How could he not know how dangerous blind landing is? But no matter how dangerous the task is, doesn't someone have to do it?
Commander Shen, who had never believed in gods or Buddhas, was secretly praying in his heart at this time that the people in the disaster area would be well and that all the soldiers who had gone out would come back.
The 1,500-man Airborne Regiment was neatly arranged into three columns. Regimental Commander Wang Youtian was conducting a pre-battle mobilization.
"Enough of the nonsense, we need one hundred people! Parachute to the disaster area! Blind landing! Life-threatening! Leaders first! Singles first! Those without parents first! Those with many siblings first! Those who meet the requirements, raise your hands and sign up!"
"Swish, swish, swish." There was a uniform sound of raising hands. All 1,500 people in the group, without exception, raised their hands.
“Nonsense!”
Captain Wang fought back tears, turned his back, and said, "I'll give you five minutes. Each of your nine companies will select eleven people. Prepare your parachutes and gather at the airport!"
Captain Wang strode away, and as soon as he left, the scene suddenly became noisy!
"Captain, take me with you! I'm a good parachutist, and I have the longest experience in parachuting in the company!"
"The company commander can't take him, he has two sons at home. Take me instead, I'm single and not married!"
"I'm single too, Captain. Take me with you too."
"Captain, I have no parents, and was raised by the country. I'm the most suitable!"
"Company Commander..."
"Thank you, brothers. No matter who goes, I only have one request! That is to return safely!"
Then the company commander hurriedly picked ten single soldiers and led the team directly to the airport.
When we arrived at the airport, we found that the other companies had almost arrived. Without exception, they all had one company commander and ten soldiers!
With Wang Youtian's order, the parachute brigade consisting of a regimental commander, nine company commanders and ninety soldiers officially set off.
"There are still 150 kilometers to the earthquake zone. I repeat, there are still 150 kilometers to the earthquake zone."
The loudspeaker on the plane was broadcasting the aircraft's position in real time.
"Jiang Yufeng, are you afraid?"
"Tell the truth or lie?"
"Of course I'm telling the truth."
"I'm scared, terrified to death, but no matter how scared I am, someone has to do these things. My skills are the best in our company, so I have a better chance than anyone else!"
"You're just lying again, bragging about how you're the best. Let's have a competition. Whoever loses this time has to wash the other person's socks for a month!"
"Let's compete, I'm not afraid of you!"
After saying this, Jiang Yufeng carefully checked his equipment again, as it was soon his turn to parachute.
His mission this time was to parachute into Huairen County and restore its external connections as soon as possible.
Therefore, in addition to the parachute bag, he also carried a long-range radio and some accessories.
These equipment plus the parachute bag alone weigh more than 100 kilograms, and it's a blind landing.
Even though he was experienced, a row of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"We are about to arrive at Huairen County, please be prepared."
After opening the hatch, Jiang Yufeng looked down and saw that the entire county was covered with a layer of dim, fog-like and haze-like substance. This was caused by the dust rising into the sky after the building collapsed, and it was also the biggest trouble for him in this parachuting.
"Arrived at the designated area, ready to parachute. 3, 2, 1."
Jiang Yufeng adjusted his posture and dived into the sky above Huairen County like a fish leaping into the sea.
It was not until he really entered the dust layer that Jiang Yufeng understood the difficulty the team leader was talking about.
The surroundings were covered with yellow soil, which covered the entire goggles. All I could see was a yellow color. I couldn't see what was below clearly, nor could I judge how high I was from the ground.
The parachute cannot be opened in advance. If it is opened in advance, you don’t know where it will be blown to by the wind and you will not be able to reach the designated area.
The opening cannot be postponed. If it opens too late, it will be game over.
Jiang Yufeng counted the time in his mind, and when he judged that he was only about 600 meters from the ground, he decisively opened the parachute.
Success!
As he got closer to the ground, Jiang Yufeng's vision became better!
The city below should be Huairen County. Just when Jiang Yufeng looked at the ground, someone on the ground also discovered him!
"Look, what's that in the sky?"
"It's a parachute! It's a parachute!"
"Divine troops have descended from the sky! The country has sent people to rescue us!"
"Hurry up and save my son! He's still trapped under the house!"
