Chapter 849 Aftershocks continue!

The four navy soldiers and six maritime militiamen did not fall into the water accidentally, but were lifted up by the huge surge caused by the earthquake. The officers and soldiers were thrown into the sea by the surge while they were on duty on the deck.

They survived the catastrophe, and I don’t know if they will have any future blessings. But they were only slightly frightened and not injured. Instead, he was sleeping soundly in the cabin and was suddenly injured by an officer and soldier who threw him out of bed. Fortunately, they were all skin injuries.

The medical team of the rescue ship brigade was at sea. Medical staff from Binjiang Second People's Hospital immediately took the power boat to the fishing boat to carry out medical rescue. Ma Jintao, Chen Jian and Gao Jichun were responsible for transporting doctors and nurses as well as the relatively seriously injured militiamen. Transfer to the island.

It is dangerous for a boat to lose power at sea.

It is also dangerous if a ship loses its anchor chain or if its anchor chain becomes entangled with another ship's anchor chain.

Since the fishing boats of each militia transport brigade were anchored one by one, the surge caused by the earthquake not only caused twelve fishing boats to lose control of their anchors, but also caused the anchor chains of many fishing boats to become entangled.

Han Yu couldn't rest after rescuing people, he had to race against time to save the ship!

First, Big 001 was transferred over and the crane on the rear deck was used to help lift the anchor. Then the officers and soldiers of the mechanics team were organized to work with the crew on the fishing boat to use crowbars and even hammers to untie the entangled anchor chains bit by bit.

The anchor chains are all made of iron, very heavy and strong.

Untying the anchor chain in the face of aftershocks in rough seas is not only a technical and physical job, but also a very dangerous job!

Although there were cranes on the fishing boats and enough fishermen participated in the rescue, they were still busy from 3 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. before the entangled anchor chains were untied.

The windlass of some fishing boats was damaged. The officers and soldiers of the machine repair squadron devoured a few mouthfuls of food, drank a few mouthfuls of water, and began nervous repairs again.

Xiaoyu was responsible for transporting the spare parts needed for the rescue. The boat and engine parts dealers who were on board the ship were very busy. They did not bring enough spare parts, so they had to take a power boat to the shore to purchase.

The logistics support team specially arranged two military trucks for them and asked two pickets to escort the vehicles to ensure that the vehicles purchasing spare parts could pass unimpeded.

As for the cost of replacing ship and engine parts, record it first and then settle it with the logistics support team later.

Their machinery and equipment were damaged while cooperating with the active-duty troops in exercises. The state has the obligation to reimburse them and cannot let them pay for it themselves.

Han Yu helped repair a windlass and was exhausted.

With the help of two fishing boat crew members, he climbed onto the power boat along the rope net. He sat down and asked feebly: "Xiaoyu, I was busy untying the anchor and repairing the ship during the day and didn't pay attention to counting. How many aftershocks have occurred today?"

"Six times."

"So many times!"

"The earthquake was very strong. It was stronger on the shore than at sea. The aftershock at 8:49 a.m. was so shaking that I almost fell down."

When I was a child, people on the shore always said there was going to be an earthquake. Adults asked the children to get under the Eight Immortals table or bed when they discovered an earthquake. Xiaoyu had no home on the shore at that time, so he didn't feel comfortable living on the boat.

In fact, the talk of an earthquake made people panic, but in the end it seemed that no earthquake occurred.

Xiaoyu really experienced an earthquake this time. Recalling the first earthquake and the six subsequent aftershocks, he was still frightened. He held on to the steering wheel and added: "When I first landed, I only knew that there were aftershocks. Later, I heard what Staff Wu said about it. One of the aftershocks was also very powerful, the Seismological Bureau said the last one was 6.2 magnitude!”

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "The last time?"

"It's the last one in the morning, and the logistics command said there may be aftershocks next."

"It seems we still need to be prepared for earthquakes."

"We're fine on the boat."

"What if there's a tsunami?"

"What does a tsunami look like? Is it worse than an earthquake?" Xiaoyu really didn't understand, so he asked.

Han Yu yawned and said drowsily: "I have never seen a tsunami, but I have seen it on TV. Once a tsunami occurs, the sea water will surge and pour back! The waves are tens of meters high, and the waves are overwhelming. They come here one after another, destroying everything they go, and can lift hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo ships ashore."

Xiaoyu asked in shock: "So the tsunami is scarier than the wave of the year before?"

"The difference between a tsunami and a tide is about the same as the difference between ocean waves and waves in a river."

"I'm too scared of people, but there can't be a tsunami, otherwise our ships will be doomed."

Just as he was talking, the power boat had washed up on the beach.

The jeep of the logistics support team was waiting in front. Han Yu got up and got off the boat, wading through the turbid water to meet it.

Going ashore was requested by the leader of the logistics support team. Han Yu greeted the staff officer who came to pick him up, climbed into the car and rushed to the logistics headquarters tent.

Team leader Fang was answering the phone, and more than a dozen staff officers and officers were busy in front of the charts.

Han Yu was just thinking about whether to call for a report when he suddenly found Team Leader Shen of the observation team walking over from the corner.

"Xianyu, thank you for your hard work. Are you hungry?"

"Fortunately, I'm not too hungry, just a little sleepy."

"It stands to reason that you should have a good rest, but the earthquake situation is very serious. In order to ensure the safety of the ships of the militia transport brigade participating in the exercise, the superiors have decided to withdraw the militia transport brigade."

"Is the exercise over?" Han Yu asked in a low voice.

Team leader Shen nodded slightly: "For humanitarian considerations, the Party Central Committee, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Chinese Army decided to end the cross-sea landing exercise early. General Secretary Xi called Taiwan in the morning and expressed his extreme concern for the major disaster in Taiwan. Concerned, cordial condolences to the affected compatriots, and deep condolences to the compatriots who died.

General Secretary S said that the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are closely related by flesh and blood. The disaster and pain of the Taiwan compatriots affects the hearts of all Chinese people. We are willing to provide all possible assistance to reduce the losses caused by the earthquake disaster. "

Instead of holding military exercises to deter them, we will instead assist them.

Han Yu was really unable to turn around for a while, and subconsciously asked: "Is the disaster in Taiwan very serious?"

"It's very serious. Judging from the information we have now, it's not just Nantou County that's affected. Taipei County, Taipei City, Miaoli County, Taichung City, Changhua County and Yunlin County are also severely affected, and there are constant aftershocks. The magnitude of the aftershocks It’s very high and we don’t know what will happen next.”

"A lot of casualties?"

"The human toll is likely to exceed last year's floods."

Taiwan is only a small country, and with so many counties and cities affected by the disaster, you can only imagine how severe the situation on the island is now.

The year before last, we experienced typhoons, heavy rains and astronomical tides.

Last year, we experienced a once-in-a-century flood.

Unexpectedly, there would be another major earthquake in Taiwan this year. Han Yu secretly lamented how insignificant people are in front of nature.

Team leader Shen was afraid that he would not understand, so he continued: "How big the earthquake in Taiwan is this time. It can be seen from the scope of the impact. Parts of Jianfu, Dongguang, Zhehai and Xijiang were all affected by the earthquake to varying degrees. .Among them, cities such as Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Xiamen, and Dening felt the earthquake strongly."

Han Yu looked back at Team Leader Fang, who was still answering the phone, and asked in a low voice: "When will the militia reserve troops withdraw?"

"Aren't you helping to repair the boats at sea? The remaining fishing boats will be evacuated as soon as they are repaired."

Team Leader Shen knew that Team Leader Fang was very busy, so he simply helped arrange the task: "There were six aftershocks in a row today, and each time the magnitude was above six. No one knows whether it will happen again, let alone How high will the magnitude of the earthquake be? In order to ensure the safety of the militia transport units when they return, your superiors have ordered you to work with the ship formations at the East China Sea Base to escort the returning fishing boat formations."

It is too close to the epicenter and there are many fishing boats at sea. It is not safe to always gather at sea.

Han Yu reacted, thought about it and said, "The remaining damaged fishing boats should be repaired before 12 o'clock."

"Then we will tentatively set sail at 12 o'clock."

"yes!"

"By the way, the captain of the fleet praised you before leaving at noon, saying that you responded quickly, made prompt decisions to organize rescues, and had the style of a general."

"What a general-like behavior. The main reason is that we are at sea, close to fallen officers and soldiers and out-of-control fishing boats. Besides, we are specialized in rescue."

"Anyway, you have made great achievements this time. Even Xiao Wu, Xiao Wang and Professor Liu have benefited from you."

As they were about to say goodbye, Team Leader Shen was reluctant to leave Xianyu as his temporary subordinate. He patted Han Yu's arm and was about to say a few more words. Team Leader Fang came over after answering the phone and asked: "Old Shen, have you told Xianyu yet?" ?”

"Explained."

"Then I won't repeat it."

Team leader Fang looked at Han Yu's bloodshot eyes and said apologetically: "Xianyu, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. We will say goodbye soon, but I believe we will meet again soon."

Han Yu said quickly: "Both leaders are welcome to come to our brigade to inspect the work when they have time."

"I will definitely go, I will definitely go."

"This is an honor for our rescue boat team!"

"You've seen too many big leaders. We two are not qualified to honor you."

The exercise ended just like that, it was really anticlimactic.

Team leader Fang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He patted Han Yu's arm and said with a fake smile: "I almost forgot. The aircraft carrier probably won't be built for a while, but your fifty yuan can be put to use now."

Han Yu was stunned and asked in confusion: "What can I do with my fifty yuan?"

"When one side is in trouble, all parties support it. Last year, there was a severe flood, and the Taiwan compatriots donated a lot. Now that the Taiwan compatriots are suffering from the earthquake, General Secretary S has taken the lead in donating, and the military region chiefs and fleet chiefs have also donated. Lao Shen and I have to donate. You still have to donate.”

"Donate to Taiwan?"

"Can't bear to part with it?"

"It's not that I can't bear to leave, it's just... I just think they need rescue more now."

Han Yu thought for a while and emphasized: "With such a big earthquake, and it happened at night, it is estimated that many houses collapsed and many Taiwanese compatriots were buried in the rubble. What is needed most now is to save people."

Team Leader Fang stared at him closely and asked, "Do you want to go?"

"If my superior gives an order, I will definitely obey the order and follow the command."

"We would like to go to the rescue, but can Li Dhui allow us to land on the island?" Team Leader Fang asked back, returning to the topic: "Your task now is to ensure the safety of the fishing fleet when it returns. If you escort us back with the fishing boats from Jiangnan, your mission will be completed."

Team Leader Shen suddenly remembered something and added with a smile: "Team Leader Fang knows that you are worried about the 823 and 825 boats, and has already contacted the maritime department for you. The sea-crossing landing exercise is over, and the missions of the 823 and 825 boats are also over. Yes, the Maritime Safety Administration has ordered them to come and join you, and then return with you."
