Chapter 136 Tribute
"All of you have noticed that each family has delivered the food to the foot of the mountain. The village has set up a few pig-killing tables next to Uncle Hei’s field at the foot of the mountain. You can arrange it in order, move quickly, it’s two o’clock in the afternoon, and those who are in the army should be hungry!"
The village chief shouted on the radio.
The stingy sister-in-law urged her sister-in-law to "pull out the cart! Quick!"
He also urged his sister-in-law, "Take the bowls and chopsticks! Let the People's Liberation Army hold hands to eat!"
After a while, everything was finally loaded with a small cart. The stingy sister-in-law pushed the cart, and the two sister-in-law helped to push it. As soon as she arrived at the door, the stingy sister-in-law suddenly stopped, remembered something, and said to her sister-in-law: "Drinks! Drinks! Take the box of Tiandi No. 1 that your brother bought yesterday!"
"I understand!" The sister-in-law ran home and turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to drink?"
"No, no! The People's Liberation Army does not drink! They cannot drink! Hurry!" The stingy sister-in-law waved her hand.
He and his sister-in-law continued to push the cart to the designated location. The sister-in-law ran home and picked up the box of brand new unopened Tiandi No. 1 and whispered to catch up.
As soon as the stingy sister-in-law's luxurious dining car appeared, it attracted the attention of women in other villages, all kinds of surprises and confusions and praises, and of course, there was also sarcastic spirit.
Aunt San didn't push a cart, but she carried a load. However, the dishes were incomparable to those who were stingy with the sister-in-law, although they were much richer than others.
After swaying, Aunt San mocked, "Liu Ruyan, you just want to be face-saving. You just have to do this for the New Year. What are your family eating for the soldiers?"
The stingy sister-in-law sneered, "You care about me to eat braised vegetables, I'm happy!"
"I'll tell you the truth, there is no need to recharge the big head. You are not a few dozen acres of farmland, but you just planted seedlings. Don't think I don't know, you are all on credit. If the family's conditions are like this, how can you recharge the big head!" Aunt San said with regret.
The stingy sister-in-law was unmoved and pushed the luxury dining car and walked steadily, for fear that the dishes filled with plates would be sprinkled out of the car. The two sister-in-law knew that the sister-in-law attached great importance to this matter, so she protected her more carefully, otherwise she would inevitably scold her when she went home.
Under the leadership of the Women's Director, the village's logistics support work was so exciting. Someone asked, where was the logistics support team of the reconnaissance instructor training team of the entire army? They all went up the mountain to support, but there was not enough manpower!
The isolation belt played some role, but several places still burned over, and these places became key prevention and control positions. Li Shuai organized personnel to use all the tools they could use, and separated the three water pipes, and used the method of spraying water and ignition to prevent the fire from spreading.
The original plan to attack one point and enter the fire and then break through to both sides is not feasible. The most urgent thing is to intercept the mountain fire at the foot of the mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the southeast of the village (the wildfire spreads to the northwest, threatening the southeast of the village) is a large area of woods. The narrowest place between the forest and the house is only separated by a small road, which is almost without any danger. The worst thing is that most of the houses in the southeast of the village are made of wooden roof beam structures, which is absolutely devastating when burned.
There was no way. Before the professional firefighting team arrived, Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao's opinions were highly consistent for the first time - all the troops were sent to the front line, including the logistics support team.
Cook?
The threat to the safety of people's lives and property has not been lifted out of nothing!
Everyone was on the line of fire and fought against the fire with all the tools they could use in their hands. It is obvious that the tiny humans are so fragile in the face of forest fires. When the fire becomes a force, you can't stand it even if you get close to it. The core temperature of up to hundreds or thousands of degrees Celsius can dry a person in a very short time, and you can't even get close. What about using limited tools on your hands to put out the fire.
Therefore, the key task is to continuously open isolation belts.
After all, clean the vegetation in front of the road of the fire as much as possible. The books that should be cut were cut quickly, and the shrubs that should be shoveled quickly to delay the spread of the fire. Occasionally, the commander takes the initiative to attack the fire by fire and quickly opens up isolation belts by burning. This method is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will add fuel to the fire. Therefore, Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao are very cautious when making this decision, and 100% ensure that the ignition of the fire must be within their own control.
In a word, the situation on the front line of firefighting is critical, but it is currently controllable. At least the speed slowed down after the fire gradually spread through the isolation zone. The fire in some places has been exhausted, and the soldiers seized the opportunity to attack the fire. But overall, the situation in the entire fire is not optimistic.
The village women's support team at the foot of the mountain is ready. Each household has completed the food production according to the assigned tasks. Most of the people are beyond the standard. Put themselves in the hands of the army to protect the homes of our people. Shouldn't we people prepare some things for the soldiers to fill their stomachs? Not to mention whether they are delicious or not!
The situation was at its most critical moment, and the troops were staring at it with gritted teeth and stared at it. The disadvantage of insufficient manpower was exposed more clearly, but Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao had no choice. They put all their troops in hand, but they still didn't work very much. They did not forget a fact. Judging from the current situation, this forest fire was definitely not simple, and it was not a forest fire that could be destroyed by one or two hundred people.
Another problem is that the officers and soldiers did not have suitable ignition tools, and even had a minimum iron broom, so the efficiency of ignition was affected. Whatever it was used, the officers and soldiers fully utilized their subjective initiative and intelligence, took out the long handle of the long-handled hoe, and then found a thin iron wire to make an iron broom head, and then fixed it to one end of the wooden handle. In this way, a homemade iron broom was made. Some villagers found a waste soft water pipe and cut it into several strips as thick as their fingers, and used these instead of the thin iron wire to make an iron broom head, which was better used.
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the fire was finally controlled. The biggest help was that the wind direction had changed. With no way out, the officers and soldiers fought back regardless of their fatigue and pushed the line of fire outside the isolation zone in one fell swoop, and the danger of the village was temporarily lifted.
Li Shuai was about to order the troops to rest and eat on the spot, what should they eat, and eat dry food. The village chief knew this before, so he came over early and said, "Chief, let the comrades go down the mountain to have a meal. The village prepared the meal and set up three tables, eat first, eat after dinner and then fire."
Li Shuai's first reaction was to refuse, but when he saw the exhausted students, his heart suddenly softened. He said, "I'll ask Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao for instructions."
He called Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao on the walkie-talkie, and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao did not hesitate and said, "Eat, eat, I'll let Captain Ye settle the settlement with the village committee."
"yes."
Li Shuai immediately set out to arrange the troops to go down the mountain to have dinner in batches, but the village said, "Chief, let all the comrades go down to have dinner, just leave us here to guard!"
Of course, we couldn't agree. Li Shuai said, "It's absolutely not possible. The places we have fought will easily rekindle. We must keep people guarding us. We went down the mountain in batches to eat in turn."
While they were arguing, they heard the sound of the sirens from afar. When they looked up, Li Shuai saw a red fire truck appearing on the hard-bottomed road beside the village. There were more than a dozen. Li Shuai found that the fire truck was so friendly and lovely. For the first time, other officers and soldiers thought that the brothers of the fire brigade were also in military uniforms were so cute.
"The fire brigade is here!" The village chief was overjoyed, "Chief, please let all the comrades go down the mountain to have a meal. The village has prepared some food simply. Comrades are so hard. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so you must eat this meal. When the fire brigade comes, they will come to take over the place."
Li Shuai then smiled and said, "Well, yes, they are professional. OK, wait for the brothers from the fire brigade to come up and we will go down the mountain to have a meal."
The nearby forest fire brigade came out in full swing and arrived first. The city's fire brigade and county fire brigade were already on the way. The arrival of professional fire-fighting forces made everyone feel relieved.
Since the reform, in accordance with the principle of "the army is the army, the police is the police, and the people are the people", the fire brigade, the police border defense, the guard force, the armed police hydropower, forest fire, and the golden brigade have all been retired from active service. The fire brigade (including the forest fire) has been incorporated into the Ministry of Emergency Management, becoming the most important emergency response force under the new ministry. The water and electricity of the armed police have been changed to enterprises (China's Analyn), the golden brigade has been changed to a public organization, and the armed police transportation has been removed from the command and other leadership organs, and has been reorganized into two mobile corpses and retained as active service. The coast guard force that was originally commanded (it is an active public security force, which is different from the armed police border defense) has been officially transferred to the armed police force.
However, when Li Shuai introduced the fire scene to the captain of the Forest Fire Brigade who led the team, he found that they were not much different from the original fire brigade. The same thing was that the troops were straightforward and neat, and the soldiers' style was still strong.
The forest fire brigade leader smiled and said, "Squad Leader Li, thank you for your hard work. Leave it to us next time! Our reinforcements will arrive in half an hour, and you can have a good meal and rest!"
"It's all for the people." Li Shuai returned the favor and watched dozens of firefighters bring professional equipment to start arraying to attack the fire.
Li Shuai led his troops down the mountain. After he arrived at the dining scene at the foot of the mountain, he understood why the forest fire brigade leader would smile like that. The guy's three long and big tables were filled with various dishes!
What kind of table is that? It is three meters long and ninety centimeters wide. The thick legs and feet indicate that this kind of table can bear a huge amount of pounds. Three tables of the same specifications are connected to the end and end to become a Western-style cold dining scene, but there are steaming hot farmhouse luxury dishes on it.
Mainly three large tables, there are many family dining tables arranged side by side on both sides, with luxurious dishes on them, and typical rural banquet features. Li Shuai knew it in his mind when he glanced at him. The stool was based on the heads of the army. This is not a simple meal for work, it is simply a banquet!
The Women's Director said proudly, "We mobilized the women in the village to cook, and the responsibility was given to each household. Each family cooked different dishes and tasted differently. It was made according to the amount of 200 people. Everyone should eat it."
The village chief said, "These three tables are specially made and are used to place tributes in the ancestral halls to worship ancestors. There are no larger tables, so the conditions are worse than those in each family, but they are enough to sit 200 people."
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao came to see the scene in front of him and was shocked, looking embarrassed.
The students and the officers and soldiers of the logistics support team were dirty all over, with black gray marks on their faces, sweating all over, and their physical strength was extremely overdrawn. When they saw this scene, their throats couldn't help but slide back and forth, and the saliva in their mouths could not help but secrete them.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and Li Shuai whispered, "Squad Leader Shuai, this situation is not right. Will it violate discipline?"
"You need to grasp this. You are the person in charge and a cadre." Li Shuai whispered.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao was embarrassed, "I definitely can't escape this posture. Otherwise, let me stop being pretentious and let the comrades eat it. Let Captain Ye settle the settlement with the village."
"I think it's possible." Li Shuai suddenly smiled and said, "This is like eating the crowd's banquet and taking gifts."
"You still have the heart to joke." Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao smiled helplessly.
Li Shuai sighed, "I also said that the people are not efficient. Look at this luxurious banquet that is enough for 200 people to eat. In just a few hours, the people actually arranged it."
"Haha, it's so strange." Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao shook his head, "There is no need to invite outsiders to hold banquets in the countryside. Anyone in the village can do anything. It's not difficult to organize a banquet in a short time. I really didn't expect it would be this situation."
Li Shuai said, "This year is the first day of the Lunar New Year."
"Yes, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year." Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao sighed.
Li Shuai suddenly said, "I have an idea."
"What's the idea?" Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao asked. He could see that this handsome squad leader had a lot of ideas and they were quite useful.
Li Shuai said, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we simply had this meal with the people, so that Captain Ye could bring out some delicious and valuable food and have a battlefield party and party."
"I have a good idea!" Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao's eyes lit up and he smiled, "This is a good method. I'll tell the village chief that you go and talk to Captain Ye about this matter. Tell him not to be stingy, take out some of what he should take, and apply for supplies after using it all. I'll report it to the upper!"
"yes!"
Li Shuai hurriedly went to find Captain Ye.
Captain Ye was not idle either. Not only did he lead the team to charge on the front line, but he also had to worry about the food guarantee of the troops. He was already preparing to ask someone to move dry food, but Li Shuai said that the villagers were ready, so he would have time to take a breath.
After Li Shuai found him and told the situation, Captain Ye excitedly said, "Okay, it's so good, so my account will be easy. Let's take you to the supply cart to see what you need to move."
"Lin Xia, bring your class here to the supplies cart." Li Shuai called the female student class to move things with a walkie-talkie.
Captain Ye smiled and said, "Shishou, are you going to empty my supplies car?"
"There are more and more good, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao said, I will use up all the supplies for you to apply for replenishment."
"What does it mean to apply for supplies for me? That is the supplies for your training team. There is still one week left. If you can't apply, you can drink the Northwest Wind." Captain Ye said with a smile.
Li Shuai smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, I'll take them into the mountains to survive in the wild."
"Are you kidding?" Captain Ye frowned.
Chapter completed!
