In this summer, in the early hours before dawn.
A gust of wind blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, but how could it blow away the restlessness in everyone's heart?
Many residents who had hurried out of their homes gathered in the streets and alleys, calling out names and greeting each other in panic.
For a moment, no one paid attention to anyone else's appearance: shorts, vest, or shirtlessness?
As we drove towards the palace, we gradually heard the sound of horns. This should be the horns organized by the neighborhood committees of each street.
Fortunately, the previous efforts to prevent enemy spies and liaise with air-raid shelters had been effective, and the streets were busy but not chaotic. What's even more fortunate is that it's summer now.
"After I finish reporting the news, don't rush to leave. Once the plan is finalized, you must immediately go to the unit to deploy it. The most critical moment is coming. If anyone hinders you, show your strength. Dad will support you!"
Zhang Guoqing took out a notebook and handed it to him. He understood the meaning of this statement very well. After waiting for so long, it was time to show his fangs! But this step was different from what he had always planned.
He didn't want to be stuck in a unit and get into conflict with his colleagues, nor did he want to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He wanted to go out and gain recognition from the world in an open and aboveboard manner.
"These are some emergency plans for earthquake relief and disaster relief that I summarized after the 1971 earthquake."
Zhou Xiaozheng was startled when he heard this. He suppressed his inner worries and looked at him deeply. After a while, he asked, "Want to go to the scene?"
Zhang Guoqing nodded seriously, "You are here."
Both the father-in-law and the son-in-law understood the underlying meaning of these words, but Zhou Xiaozheng still sighed inwardly. It was a good opportunity, but he really considered his son-in-law his own son, especially after hearing the report from the other end of the phone from his own mouth. He couldn't help but worry about the current situation.
If houses in neighboring counties collapsed, what would happen to Tengshan? Thinking about it, not to mention the risks involved in being there, the rescue work itself would be enormous.
"dad?"
This word "Dad" finally made Zhou Xiaozheng compromise: "I'll let Xiao Wang go with you."
Zhang Guoqing didn't refuse. Knowing that he was worried, he said solemnly, "Dad, don't worry. I will come back without losing a single hair."
As for Xiao Wang who followed me in the past, it is time for him to go for further studies. Let’s go, let’s go together. Saving more lives will be a good deed.
Zhou Xiaozheng's lips curled up when he heard that, but he suppressed his inner joy, pinched the booklet in his hand, and ordered, "I'll let you speak in a moment. Tell us everything you have, don't be nervous."
Are you nervous?
Zhang Guoqing had nothing to be nervous about when facing his familiar elders. Moreover, he had his father-in-law by his side, which gave him confidence.
Zhou Xiaozheng's so-called speech was certainly not just talk. Looking at his child's calm face, he recited the emergency plan one by one with a calm expression.
He glanced at the expressions of the people present and thought, well, very good, he is worthy of being his son-in-law!
Now, time is life.
Before dawn, Zhang Guoqing, with his ability, unsurprisingly became the on-site commander-in-chief and immediately assembled a temporary team and boarded the plane.
Unlike history, a little after five o'clock in the morning of July 28, the first earthquake relief force from the highest command entered the suburbs of Tengshan City.
The closer they got to Tengshan City, Zhang Guoqing ordered a cadre to be stationed at every place, about every kilometer or so.
There was only one purpose for letting them stay, which was to issue an order to every troop that continued to rush over: requiring all troops to ignore other matters, assemble at July 1st Square first, and then be deployed and commanded by the temporary command center.
"I'm telling you, my orders apply to all arriving troops! No matter what branch of the military they are, no matter how many people they have, or who leads them. Do you understand?"
"Yes! Follow orders resolutely!"
Several cadres who were named answered firmly.
At this moment, everyone who knew Zhang Guoqing could feel the murderous aura from him, and was not at all surprised at what the consequences would be for anyone who resisted this order.
Everyone understood. Before setting off, the leaders said that time is life. Anyone who practices individualism will be shot to death. The biggest goal now is to save lives!
As they got closer to the city, orders were issued one after another, and the headquarters in the capital also received the news through radio waves.
At the first light of dawn in the early morning, Tengshan City had become a shocking hell on earth. It was no exaggeration to describe it as a ruined city.
The entire Tengshan City, both inside and outside the city, has been completely razed to the ground.
In a gray vision, while running towards the center of Tengshan City - July 1st Square, Zhang Guoqing took the map of Tengshan from the staff officer he met on the road.
He soon discovered that according to the map, on the way to July 1st Square, he would pass the city's First and Second People's Hospitals.
The medical team organized by the Ministry of Health couldn't arrive at the scene for a while. Thanks to his good hearing, he could already hear the whole city's ****...
Now every doctor is very valuable. With them, many lives have hope.
Then a new order was quickly issued.
A battalion of soldiers immediately rushed to the First and Second People's Hospitals, trying their best to rescue a group of doctors in the shortest time possible.
Then, following their instructions, we dug up the hospital pharmacy, got out a batch of surgical drugs, and sent the people and pills to July 1st Square.
Wait for Zhang Guoqing to lead the troops along the way to meet up and arrive at the square.
There were already many frightened citizens gathered there. Seeing the large army coming, many citizens began to pull and tug, each crying and shouting for the People's Liberation Army to rescue the people in their area first.
Sympathy?
There must be, and gradually, the originally neat queue was broken up.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Zhang Guoqing didn't dare to think twice and pulled out his gun. "Pah, pah, pah."
He had no choice but to quickly control the situation. Three gunshots rang out, and the only sound left at the scene was heartbreaking crying. This moment was not easy for anyone.
After assembling the troops and following the pre-drawn map to circle the most densely populated areas, teams gathered their tools and dispersed to every corner of this weeping city...
Standing in the square, Zhang Guoqing ignored the sobbing around him and clenched his fists. "The Communications Company will immediately set up a radio station and contact the Military Commission directly. With me as the center, the comrades from the Logistics Department will clear an open area on the right to receive the wounded. Comrades from the Political Department, go to the nearby area and remove the door panels. Take as many as you can. Mobilize the masses to help you remove them. Just say this is to help save as many lives as possible!"
