Chapter 107: The Sorrow of Wenchuan - A Failure

A team of 100 people carrying a team of 18 helicopters of the Second Armed Police Detachment of Chengdu Military Region flew to Wenchuan County.

Unlike Wang Yi's troops who were hiking here on foot, this unit carried rescue tools such as oxygen cutting machines, jacks, and medical assistance items such as oxygen cylinders, pacemakers and other medical assistance items. As soon as the plane landed under the expectation of countless people, the armed police ran out of the helicopter and quickly formed a team to follow the arrangements of their captain Li Ruolin. Seeing the tragic situation in Wenchuan, each of their eyes were equally moist.

Long Hai and Wang Yi, who were rescued together, also saw the helicopter formation flying from the sky. They felt a move in their hearts and immediately put down the rescue work in their hands and ran towards the helicopter's flight direction.

The captain of the armed police detachment, Li Ruolin, who had just got off the plane, saw Long Hai and Wang Yi. Although he was not from the same army as Wang Yi, Wang Yi was the chief of staff after all, and Li Ruolin still knew him. Li Ruolin, who had always been afraid of not being able to contact Wang Yi, was relieved and walked to the two and saluted: "Sir, please ask the commander to quickly issue a command order."

"Are you the commander of this army?" Wang Yi asked after a military salute to Li Ruolin.

"It was the commander who ordered our department to be fully coordinated and commanded by the chief." Li Ruolin said without hesitation.

"Okay," Wang Yi nodded, and then pointed at Longhai Road, "This is Colonel Longhai of the General Staff Department. He is currently in charge of the rescue operation command here. Do you understand what you obey his orders?"

"Yes" soldiers take obeying orders as their duty, and Li Ruolin said without hesitation. Although he did not understand that the colonel of the General Staff Department of the Central Military Commission would come here, since the superior said that, he would do it.

"Good helicopters are good things." Long Hai looked at the helicopter, and because he was a little excited, a faint smile appeared on his face, which had been in a state of pain, and then ordered loudly, "Send half of the troops to the temporary hospital in Wenchuan. There are many seriously injured and critically injured patients who cannot get timely assistance. You can quickly transfer them to the helicopter and then transport them to nearby hospitals that are not affected by aftershocks. Do you understand? Others bring the tools and supplies you brought to quickly go to different places in Wenchuan to assist in the rescue and act quickly."

"Yes," Li Ruolin responded loudly, then turned around and issued Long Hai's order to his already assembled subordinates. Then, under Wang Yi's leadership, half of the armed police went to the Wenchuan temporary hospital, and the remaining armed police were involved in intense rescue.

"Wait...wait..." Just as Long Hai and Li Ruolin wanted to join the rescue nearby, a voice came from far and near, and then a figure ran over quickly.

"A Qian?" After seeing that the person coming was Li Ruoqian, Long Hai's eyes lit up immediately and he rushed over and hugged him hard. Although he hadn't seen each other for a long time, the two of them felt like they had survived the disaster. On the land of Wenchuan, life is so fragile.

"Brother Long" and Long Hai let go, and Li Ruoqian also screamed excitedly. Long Hai's appearance finally made his mood slightly relaxed. From the beginning of everyone's separate rescue, it has been nearly twenty hours since everyone left to the present. Li Ruoqian has never seen a familiar figure, Li Cheng, Li Zhixuan, etc., and he has not encountered any of them. Maybe they are all desperately rescuing the survivors, maybe... Seeing Long Hai at this time naturally made Li Ruoqian feel a little relaxed.

"Brother Long, borrow two helicopters" slowed down slightly, Li Rugan said immediately.

"Um?"

"I want to save people" shouted firmly, and then Li Rugan hurriedly explained Xiao Qin's situation and his thoughts. In fact, the cement board pressed on Xiao Qin's body is not a big problem, but the ceiling on the cement board is a terrible problem. If it falls, there will be a great impact force. Hitting it on the cement board will definitely make Xiao Qin die. The only way now is to let the helicopter use a hook to support the ceiling from the air. Li Rugan below quickly rescues and take the opportunity to get Xiao Qin out.

"Okay, no problem." After hearing Li Ruogan's words, Long Hai immediately agreed and ordered Li Ruolin to transfer two helicopters to help Li Ruogan. Long Hai also decided to go with Li Ruogan to rescue Xiaoqin, and finally even Li Ruolin added in.

A few minutes later, after the helicopter arrived over the ruins pressing against Xiao Qin, Li Ruogan, Long Hai and Li Ruolin also ran over one after another.

The helicopter slowly lowered the hook (not the hook connected to the soft rope, but the hook of steel pipe). The driver carefully drove the helicopter at a low altitude, slowly putting the hook under the edge of the ceiling. After trying a few times, he finally hooked the ceiling firmly from left to right, pulling it up slightly.

"Crazy la la—" At the same time, without the pressure above, the cement column that had been overwhelmed instantly cracked and turned into pieces of gravel and fell down. The pilots of the two helicopters were sweating heavily and were concentrating on controlling the helicopter. From the moment they hooked up the ceiling, Xiao Qin's life was in their hands. Once the ceiling accidentally fell, Xiao Qin would definitely die without death. They dared not hook the ceiling to another place. Even if the speed of the two people was a little out of sync, the ceiling would still fall from the air, and waiting for Xiao Qin was still a dead end.

Li Rugan, Long Hai, Li Ruolin and Xiao Qin's mother did not hesitate. She began to rescue Xiao Qin as soon as the helicopter raised the ceiling. Each of them held various tools and tried hard to chisel the cement board below Xiao Qin and became worse and worse. Finally, until it was broken into pieces, Xiao Qin finally appeared in the eyes of the four people. At this time, the small slit had become a big hole that was enough for Xiao Qin to come out.

"Xiao Qin, come out quickly." Finally, smashing a piece of cement board blocking outside, Li Rugan shouted excitedly inside.

"..." Xiao Qin just looked at Li Rugan, her big shiny eyes reflected the happy color, but she didn't say or move.

"Come out quickly, daughter," Xiao Qin's mother shouted loudly next to Li Ruogan, tears gushing out, her daughter was about to be rescued, leaving this poor mother completely unable to control her mood.

"Mom...Uncle...My legs don't feel anything anymore...I can't crawl..." After a moment of silence, Xiao Qin suddenly said softly.

"What?" couldn't help but shout. Li Rugan looked at Xiao Qin, who was still smiling innocently on his face in disbelief, and tears instantly surged. He never expected that this little girl who had been optimistic that she would be rescued, the little girl who had been comforting her mother, had actually suffered such great pain.

"Xiao Qin is not afraid, we will save you right away." Li Rugan quickly wiped his tears, shouting while continuing to dig, "Dig deeper, I'll go in and lift the cement board in a while."

"Yeah" nodded seriously, Long Hai and Li Ruolin dug up again, and finally glanced at their optimistic daughter. Xiao Qin's mother also moved with tears in her eyes.

Before he knew it, more than half an hour passed again. After the unremitting efforts of the four people, a relatively large hole was finally dug. Li Rugan entered, reached out and grabbed Xiaoqin's small hand. He tried to pull her out with a little force, but found that he could not pull it at all. His heart sank, and Li Rugan realized that Xiaoqin's legs must have been pressed by the cement board pressed on it.

"Uncle, can't I save it?" After working hard for a while but failed, Xiao Qin suddenly spoke.

"I won't feel at ease, uncle will definitely save you." Li Ruogan said warmly, holding back her tears.

"Well, I must save me and I haven't repayed my mother for raising me." Xiao Qin nodded vigorously, and her dusty face was full of sincerity.

"Well, I will definitely save you." Li Rugan's voice choked a little.

"Agan-How is the situation?" Long Hai shouted outside.

"The legs were stuck and I tried to remove the ceiling above." Li Rugan turned around and shouted loudly, then quickly thought of a solution in his mind. The situation at the scene was that a whole piece of cement board was pressed on Xiao Qin's lower body. On the left side of her waist, there were several hard stones supporting the other side of the cement board, saving Xiao Qin's upper body from the misfortune of being pressed. Li Rugan and others dug for a long time but just dug a lot. They just dug in front of Xiao Qin and did not dare to move anymore. Once the stone was unstable and the cement board fell, all their efforts were in vain. Half-squatting in front of Xiao Qin, Li Rugan gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Brother, I'm going to hold on to the middle of this stone slab. You press down from the other side of the stone slab (similar to seesaw, pig's feet are used as fulcrum)"

"Agan this..." Long Hai frowned tightly and shouted to Li Rugan worriedly. This is too dangerous. If there is any accident, Li Rugan will be greatly hurt.

"Brother has no time to think about it quickly." Li Rugan shouted again, then encouraged Xiaoqin, then gritted his teeth and applied the internal strength that he had just developed during this period to his arms. Then he used both hands to support the cement board in the middle, and then stretched his arms hard. The thick cement board actually rose slightly.

"Okay" responded with emotion, and Long Hai immediately put the two jacks he brought on the stone slab, and then he and Li Ruolin also used their best to press towards the other end of the cement slab.

"Uh--" Li Rugan gritted his teeth tightly, and Li Rugan felt his bones rubbing sounds sharply. The huge pressure from the end of the Longhai was almost unable to bear it. Fortunately, the stone slab leaned to the expectations, and the stone slab pressing against Xiao Qin was slightly raised. Li Rugan finally saw Xiao Qin's bloody calves, and his heart immediately felt ache.

"Can I crawl..." As soon as my legs were liberated, Xiao Qin said happily, and then slowly used force on both arms and began to climb outward. Xiao Qin's mother was full of excitement, and she was about to drill into a hole to welcome her daughter, but at this moment...

"Boom boom boom boom--"

The earth suddenly trembled again. At this critical moment, Wenchuan actually had another aftershock. The seismic waves emitted along with the earthquake inevitably affected the helicopters in the air. With a "click", a hook fell off the edge of the ceiling. Then, under everyone's horror, the ceiling fell from the sky and smashed hard on the cement board on the ground.
