The emergency assembly number suddenly rang at 23:17 in the middle of the night.
A sharp buzzing sound pierced the night and echoed in the underground cave warehouse of the entire Dingxin Base.
Missile Battalion Commander Xie Lixin turned over and bounced up from the marching bed. While his feet touched the ground, he had already put a camouflage training uniform stained with yellow sand on his body.
In less than five minutes, he and his entire launch battalion had been assembled. He stood in front of five 10*10 special chassis transport vehicles lined up in the underground cave. He could get on the bus just by saying a command. Set off.
However, if nothing unexpected happens, they probably won't be able to wait for this instruction today.
Because the brigade commander Liang Yangang was already waiting here early, he was leaning against the door of the command car, and was still pinching a stopwatch in his hand, calculating his grades.
If it was a real task, it was obviously impossible to have this link.
"4 minutes and 11 seconds, not bad."
He pressed the stop button with a click, and then loudly reported the results of this emergency meeting:
"You haven't relaxed your vigilance for a while..."
Xie Lixin and instructor Huang Hanwen made a statement on behalf of the entire camp:
"Report to the brigade commander and be ready at all times!"
Despite the answer that was the same, the two of them kept complaining in their hearts-
This has been the fifth night emergency assembly drill conducted by the first battalion of their 810th Brigade in the past 20 days.
On average, it’s less than once every four days, and it’s hard to relax your vigilance…
However, they also understood the brigade commander's difficulties.
The launch test, originally scheduled to be conducted in mid-May, was postponed for some reason, and since then there has been no exact information about the test date. Even if you ask your superiors, you are only told that you need to wait for the shooting range and radar units affected by the disaster to carry out equipment maintenance and maintenance. Therefore, the new plan has not been completed.
More than a hundred officers and fighters in the battalion who were ready to go, as well as a complete set of technical equipment including one launch vehicle and four support vehicles, were just held in the cave warehouse underground in the Gobi Desert.
As the saying goes, one-stop work will decline again, and three-fold exhaustion.
As the brigade commander Liang Yangang could not help but feel a little anxious if he kept waiting like this.
We have to maintain combat readiness through high-frequency ensemble training.
Of course, you can calm down your itchy mood by the way.
After some routine training, Liang Yangang announced his dissolution and the group of people returned to their residential areas to prepare for rest.
But he himself did not join the team, but deliberately fell to the end. While everyone was not paying attention, he patted Xie Lixin on the shoulder.
"Xiao Xie, come with me."
The latter was stunned, then stopped and turned around and followed the brigade commander to the command car.
"Brig Commander, are you asking me for trouble?"
"I have entrusted my superiors to find out. Your family is safe and has just been transferred to a safe area a few days ago."
While speaking, Liang Yangang took out a kraft envelope from his top pocket:
"The organization considered your situation and made an exception to allow them to send a letter. The local comrades also took a few photos to report their safety."
After hearing this, Xie Lixin's movements stopped.
Then he red his eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even forgot to take the envelope:
"Brig Commander, how do you know..."
Xie Lixin's hometown is in Sichuan Province. After seeing the disaster news, he wanted to fly back to confirm his safety at home immediately.
But he knew that the emergency task was in place and it was impossible to walk away temporarily, so he didn't need to report the matter to Liang Yangang.
In the next half month, he almost never slept peacefully, and the phone number on the outside could not be reached.
Unexpectedly, the organization took the initiative to pay attention to his situation and sent someone to conduct an investigation.
Before the question was finished, Liang Yangang waved his hand:
"Okay, don't let my mother-in-law do it."
He is really not good at dealing with such scenes. After all, the political commissar is usually responsible, so he has to pretend to be impatient and stuff the envelope directly into Xie Li's newbie:
"If I don't know the family situation of the main battalion commander under my command, I'd be a bad brigade commander?"
After saying that, he sat down next to him, pressed the power supply of the laptop, unscrewed the thermos, and blew a few breaths into the mouth of the cup:
"Actually, I reported the situation immediately after the disaster, but your hometown just happened to be close to the center and was threatened by the dam. After the incident, I was busy moving, so I couldn't do it first Time contact.”
At this time, Xie Lixin had already opened the envelope, looked at the handwriting on the paper and the familiar faces on the photos, and turned his back and choked speechlessly.
After a while, I barely calmed down:
"What about other situations? Is it very serious?"
Their daily training tasks are heavy, and they only have time to watch the news every few nights. The frequency of information updates is not very high. Only the person in charge of each task can contact the outside world relatively frequently.
Liang Yangang sighed and shook his head:
"You have read the news, and it's not optimistic to be frankly... Thanks to the new geological observation system that provides about 90 seconds of additional warning time, otherwise the losses will be even more amazing... But even so, many counties and towns have It is uninhabitable as a whole and needs to be relocated.”
If there had been no news at all, Xie Lixin could still suppress his emotions.
But now when he saw the letters and photos, although he felt much more at ease, his concern and fear came to his heart instead, making him unable to restrain himself and want to vent his feelings through communication.
"That disaster relief situation..."
Speaking of this topic, Liang Yangang's expression also eased a little, and he answered confidently:
"Can you still know... Our army can definitely rest assured in this regard. As far as I learned during the day today, almost 100,000 people from the three nearby military regions have been dispatched, and still account for 60% of the entire army. The above helicopters evacuated nearly 30,000 people with air capacity alone, and they also immediately sent an engineering unit of our Second Artillery to a key position. It can almost be regarded as a war drill..."
"It is expected that next week, a stratosphere airship used for communication relay will be transferred, and communication will be restored to a certain extent..."
“…”
In the current situation, these news is hard to be called "good news", but at least it is a positive signal that is conducive to the development of the situation.
Xie Lixin's mood gradually became relaxed as the two communicated, and the adrenaline that had just been full of excitement and tension also stopped secreting.
A feeling of fatigue swept across.
Liang Yangang soon discovered that Xie Lixin's eyelids were fighting, so he patted the other party's shoulder:
"Okay, go back and rest first, wait..."
He originally wanted to give you a visit leave after this mission, but he thought this statement was a bit strange.
It seems that in those war movies, characters who have obtained such promises generally have no good ending.
So the sound came to an abrupt end and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
At this moment, a familiar sound of horns suddenly rang in the ears of the two.
Xie Lixin's eyes instantly became clear, and he looked at Liang Yangang with doubt and shock.
That's very obvious-
I met twice urgently one night. Isn’t it a bit too inhuman?
But Liang Yangang shook his head and signaled that this time it was not his own.
Soon, the radio station in the command car rang out, and the voice of Xing Muchun, the commander-in-chief, came from inside:
"Brig Commander Liang, the test preparations are all ready. Be prepared to assemble the team and maneuver to the predetermined launch location!"
