Li Dequan, who was on standby at the Military Sub-district Command, was immediately in a dilemma after receiving a call from Mayor Cui Ji'an. The troops under his jurisdiction were an anti-aircraft artillery regiment and a garrison regiment. Where did he ask him to find divers?

The chief of staff on the side thought for a while and said, "Commander, Lu Te from the 12th Army seems to have diving equipment."

"What does it mean to be like? There is something, there is nothing, there is nothing." Li Dequan said.

The Chief of Staff was really a little confused and said, "Commander, you know that Lu Te is a highly confidential unit, and I'm not sure. It was the last time I went to their logistics department to see a batch of diving equipment. I saw that this thing was quite novel, so I asked casually and realized that it was prepared for Lu Te."

Li Dequan pondered: "Lu Te is an all-weather and all-round combat force. It should not be uncommon for them to be equipped with diving equipment. Yes! Just ask them for help."

The Chief of Staff quickly said, "Commander, Lu Te is not something we cannot instruct! That requires the 12th Army headquarters to issue an order."

"The mission of the army is to defend the country and the people. Now there are more than 40 lives trapped under the Changshan Coal Mine. No matter how confidential it is, it is time for the elite troops to be used. I personally ask Commander Chen for instructions." Li Dequan said without any ambiguity.

As night fell, a "Woo--" alarm sounded suddenly at a barracks in a suburb of Pengcheng.

"Fighting Alert!" In less than two minutes, more than 30 fully armed officers and soldiers were already neatly arranged in the open space in front of the barracks.

After a major officer conducted an exercise and comment, he left a team of five people. The leader was a female lieutenant officer who looked like she was in her early twenties, and she was also the only female soldier in the barracks.

"Staff General Liu, just received an order from the military headquarters that a serious water permeability accident occurred in Changshan Coal Mine in Qingshanquan Town, Nanqiao County, and a total of 47 people were trapped. The military headquarters ordered us to immediately dispatch the newly formed frogman team to assist the local government in rescue. Considering that our Lute frogman team has just been formed, the superior ordered you, the instructor of the frogman team, to direct the operation."

"Yes!" Staff Officer Liu stood up very neatly.

Two hours later, a green military truck drove into the rescue site of Changshan Coal Mine. I heard that the divers of the troops arrived, Guo Wending, who had not had a rest, and Li Dequan, who arrived first, rushed out excitedly. When he contacted the municipal government before, he learned that Pengcheng could not find a diver, Guo Wending was very depressed, but fortunately Li Dequan brought good news.

"Report to the leader, the 12th Army's special frogman team was ordered to report, and the leader asked the leader to instruct the frogman team. Liu Liu." After getting off the car and assembled the team, Staff Liu trotted to Guo Wending and Li De and saluted.

When Guo Wending saw that the team was actually a female officer in her early twenties, she was stunned. After Li Dequan responded with a military salute, she smiled and said, "Who am I still be? I didn't expect that Commander Chen would send out the ace, Staff Officer Liu."

Liu Liu smiled embarrassedly and said, "The Chief has over-rewarded."

Guo Wending listened to their conversation and found out that they knew each other. He didn't expect that the cute little girl in front of him was actually the trump card of the twelfth Army. It was really incredible.

"The situation is urgent, please ask the experts to introduce the specific situation to you first." Liu Liu followed Li Dequan and Guo Wending into the temporary command center, and Li Dequan said.

The expert from the Water Conservancy Bureau, who had previously proposed the diver's suggestion, stood up and introduced the specific situation underground. They have been studying it for a whole day and are familiar with the situation. They are very familiar with it. As for An Guangmin, who was previously recognized by Gao Changlong, has long become a role in serving tea and water to do miscellaneous work.

After listening to the introduction of experts from the Water Resources Bureau, Liu Liu knew it and told Li Dequan: "Although the underground situation is complicated and the water quality is extremely poor and there is almost no visibility, as long as there is the interconnected rope, we are sure to get over it."

When Guo Wending heard this, he said happily: "I am so grateful to the comrades in the army. As long as you can go there, we can understand the specific situation of the trapped miners and determine their exact location. At the critical moment, we must be our soldiers!"

Liu Liu smiled and said, "Chief, the most important thing is that with that rope, if there is no such rope, the situation underground will be so complicated. To be honest, we will not be sure of this."

"Is that true?" Guo Wending couldn't help but secretly thanked that if Li Rui had not taken the risk, it would be a big deal to rescue these trapped miners! He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the risk that Li Rui took was worth it!"

"Li Rui?" Liu Liu was surprised when she heard the name Li Rui.

Guo Wending did not notice the change in Liu Liu's expression and explained: "It was Comrade Li Rui, the Party Secretary of our Nanqiao County Coal Management Bureau. He was the first to arrive at the scene to participate in the rescue. At that time, while the water level had not yet flooded the top of the alley, he risked his life to swim where the miners might be trapped. This rope has now become the key to our rescue."

After listening to Guo Wending's introduction, Liu Liu was surprised. She had just learned in detail about the situation and water level changes. A person could swim more than 300 meters under the turbulent water flow, and in fact there was a roadway that was completely submerged underwater for more than 20 meters to pass. This was not something that ordinary people could do. It sounded like the distance was not long, but Liu Liu, the instructor of the Frogman Team, knew the difficulty. If an ordinary soldier could do this, she would definitely absorb him into the Frogman Team without hesitation. Liu Liu couldn't help but look like a tall, but gentle person. Unexpectedly, he still had such courage and ability.

Li Rui sat weakly on the ground, his stomach was already hungry and his chest was pressed against his back, and he was even more thirsty. He saw so much water but couldn't drink it at all. In fact, he was pretty good. The trapped miners were even more uncomfortable than him. When the water permeability accident occurred, they had been working in the hole for nearly ten hours. They were about to get off work, but there was a water permeability accident. They were trapped here. The initial panic and frightening made them temporarily forget their hunger and thirst, but once they settled down, it was particularly difficult. The only comforting thing for them was that every time a while, people outside would pull the rope, and the water level had begun to slowly drop.

"Secretary Li, how long have we been trapped? About two days have passed?" Ergouzi, who was lying beside Li Rui, asked questions and answers.

"No? People outside pull the rope once an hour. I remember to count. So far, I have pulled it twenty-eight times. Together with the hours before I came down, at most thirty hours have passed." Li Rui said.

"How long will it take to last? The water level goes down so slowly. Before the people outside drain the water, I'm afraid that we all have starved to death. Secretary Li, didn't you say before that some divers would come in? Why didn't there be any movement at all for so long?"

"Who knows, maybe the people outside are too stupid and haven't thought about it yet." Li Rui also looked depressed and said impatiently: "Okay, you should say less, save some effort! Be careful not to pull the rope outside but don't know if it's pulled." Now this rope is their only hope to keep in touch with the outside, and it proves that there are still people alive.

The hungry and thirsty miners were either lying or sitting. Compared with Li Rui just came here, after a brief excitement, their eyes returned to dullness, and many people were humming there.

"Secretary Li, the big bull is so hot." Wang Guangrong touched Tian Daniu's forehead, who was already in a semi-coma, and said anxiously.

Li Rui turned over and turned on a mineral lamp to shine on Tian Daniu's wound. The place where his legs were broken was already so red and swollen, his face looked very ugly, and his forehead was sweating constantly.

"It's inflamed." Li Rui's expression became serious. If he didn't receive timely treatment, Tian Daniu's leg was very likely to be ruined. Li Rui's heart was very calm and felt extremely irritable for the first time. He couldn't help but curse: "It's paralyzed, these people outside are all a bunch of food, why don't you send divers in? You can't even think of such a simple method!"

Li Rui's words also aroused the dissatisfaction of the trapped miners: "The rescuers outside are all pigs' brains..."

"The rescue team only cares about work, and the decision is the leader's business..."

"I see that none of the officials are good things. What else can they do except make money and play with women..."

"Secretary Li, I think you can't get out at all. If you were still outside and came up with the idea of ​​this diver, maybe we would have been saved long ago..."

The miners complained all the time, and Li Rui couldn't listen anymore and shouted: "Fart! If I don't get down, I don't have that rope, and the dark under the mine is black. How can the divers come in? And don't always knock down a boat of people in one fell swoop. None of the officials are good things! I'm an official, but I risk my life to come to you..."

Before Li Rui finished speaking, someone burst into laughter and said, "Come on, Secretary Li, don't swear. I said, where do you look like an official, and why are you the secretary of the Party Committee of the Coal Management Bureau? You don't even have hair."

"That's it! Do you think it's really like the TV shows? Those are deceitful!"

“…”

"How do you say it? Secretary Li took such a big risk, why is he for? Not to save us all the hardships! Even if Secretary Li pretends to be a fake, he is kind-hearted and to appease us." Wang Guangrong scolded loudly, and then said to Li Rui: "Secretary Li, don't be surprised! These people just lack a door-guard."
