Chapter 210 Search and Rescue
"Stand at attention, rest for a while!"
It was already noon when the convoy arrived, and it was just after nine o'clock when it set off in the morning. The road was bumpy for four or five hours.
Fortunately, the situation was not too bad, the road was not damaged, and the car kept driving to the destination.
After getting out of the car, Xiang Yunduan organized the team, and then he began to understand the situation with the person who came to pick them up.
Before coming, the ministry had already contacted the local government, and the task of receiving them was naturally handed over to the local public security department.
"Director Fan, welcome!"
A deputy director of the local police looked at the people getting out of the car with some curiosity.
It only said that people from the ministry would be coming, but the specific situation was not disclosed, so it was a little unclear when Xiang Yunduan and his team were all accompanied by dogs.
This is just a county town. Naturally, they have done little or even no research on a relatively cutting-edge topic like police dogs.
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Xiang Yunduan. He is the person in charge of the police dog base in the ministry. Our coming here this time is mainly related to Comrade Xiang Yunduan!"
Fan Guoyong first introduced Xiang Yunduan, and then introduced several other comrades in the department.
Sure enough, these comrades were indeed experts in public security as Xiang Yunduan had guessed before.
"It turns out these are police dogs. I am really ignorant. Can these police dogs really help us search and rescue those buried people?" the deputy director asked in surprise.
Obviously, he was not very interested in the experts who came to investigate the public security situation, but was particularly curious about Xiang Yunduan's police dog team.
In fact, people sent from above have been arriving one after another since this morning. Xiang Yunduan and the others are not the first wave, nor the last wave.
Whether they are from the city or the province, whether they are involved in disaster relief or inspection, there are people from all walks of life, but those people have little to do with him as the deputy director, and have little to do with the public security work at this moment. They are now The main task is to save people and save more people, and Xiang Yunduan's goal is highly consistent with theirs.
"I'm not absolutely sure whether it can be done. However, the skills of search personnel have always been a key research subject at our police dog base. We have had successful experiences before, but this is the first time we have conducted search and rescue in an earthquake. Therefore, You have to give it a try to know the specific effect!" Xiang Yunduan said.
He did not finish his words. After all, there are differences between specialized search and rescue dogs and police dogs, and the daily training subjects are also different.
"That's it!" Comrade Deputy Director nodded and said, "Then let's start now?"
This comrade was very upright. He did not ask the comrades from the ministry to rest first and drink some tea to moisten their throats before starting work directly.
Although the current situation is very urgent and it is indeed necessary to get straight into work, this kind of style that dares to ignore the superiors is really rare.
"Fan Si, look?" Xiang Yunduan turned to look at Fan Guoyong.
"Let's start doing it, I also want to see if it works!"
Fan Guoyong did not show off as a leader. He waved his hand and said to Comrade Deputy Director: "Assign two people to explain the details to our comrades in charge of public security. They have other tasks. We We have to act separately!”
"no problem!"
Comrade Deputy Director said, calling a few comrades over to communicate the situation. As for himself, he naturally took other comrades to act with Xiang Yunduan and the others.
The disaster relief work is in progress, but it looks a bit messy. The people participating are also diverse. It can be seen that everyone has little experience, and basically all the methods they can think of have been used.
"Let's go to the west of the city first. There is a large residential area there, and the houses are relatively old. This time, many houses could not withstand it and collapsed a lot!" the deputy director introduced the situation as he walked.
Because the earthquake occurred at around four o'clock in the morning, most people were still asleep at that time. It is conceivable that once the house collapsed, how many people would be buried underneath, and the earthquake happened very quickly. Even if I noticed it immediately, and it was difficult to run to an open place in such a short period of time.
Along the way, Xiang Yunduan discovered that the collapsed houses were indeed older ones. Many of them existed during the Qing Dynasty and may have been hundreds of years old. Moreover, because most of the owners of the houses had changed, these houses had collapsed. Naturally, the house has been renovated or repaired, so it is normal that it cannot withstand too much movement.
"Here we are, right here!"
Not long after walking, a large area of ruins appeared in front of us, of which only three or four out of ten houses were still standing.
At this time, there were already many people digging through the ruins in this place. However, once the house collapsed, it had become completely unrecognizable. It was a bit difficult to see where there were people simply by looking at it.
The people searching and rescuing on the ruins include survivors and people from higher-ups. Most of them can only identify the target by shouting. It seems that they hope that the people buried under the ruins will take the initiative to make a sound.
This is a stupid way and a helpless move.
It cannot be said that the effect is nonexistent, but it is definitely relatively poor. After all, there are definitely only a few people who can still be conscious and make sounds after being buried. The vast majority of people have already fallen into a coma.
Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to locate by sound.
"Comrades, start taking action according to the methods we have trained before!" Xiang Yunduan waved his hand and dispersed all the people in the police dog base.
Of course, he himself was not idle, and Hu Zi was also brought over by him.
"Huzi, come on!"
Xiang Yunduan patted Huzi's dog's head, pointed at the ruins in front of him and said.
Seeing Huzi rushing out, other trainers naturally started searching with their own police dogs, but the situation was not very good.
Because when these police dogs practiced search tasks before, they all had target information. For example, when looking for a person, they would first smell the target person's clothes or other daily tools, etc., so that the target would be clearer.
But in this situation, this trick is naturally not easy to use, which makes these police dogs look like headless flies, wandering around in the ruins.
Because they are also confused and don't know what to do.
In fact, Xiang Yunduan had already thought of this situation. After all, he had never trained such a subject before. It was normal for the police dog not to understand the trainer's meaning.
But Xiang Yunduan also has a way.
Because Hu Zi is here!
Huzi has been strengthened by him, so he can give orders directly. With Huzi's spirituality, it is not difficult at all to understand such orders.
What Xiang Yunduan thinks is that using dogs to teach dogs will have better results.
As long as Huzi can find a target, it is equivalent to an on-site demonstration. If other police dogs follow suit, it will be easier for them to get into working condition.
"Xiao Xiang, this?"
Fan Guoyong also saw the abnormality of these police dogs. After all, he was not new to working with police dogs.
As the deputy director of the Technical Equipment Department, since the new field of police dogs has been classified as part of public security technology, he certainly needs to learn about it.
Over the period of time since the first contact with Xiang Yunduan, Fan Guoyong is no longer a layman and is very familiar with the habits of police dogs. At this moment, these police dogs are looking around and sniffing, and from time to time they have to observe the expressions of the trainers. If a layman comes to see them, they might think that the police dogs are working seriously, but in Fan Guoyong's eyes, they are just wandering around.
"It's okay, just wait. After all, you have just arrived in a strange environment, and you have to get used to it!" Xiang Yunduan said calmly.
Seeing what he said, Fan Guoyong began to wait with peace of mind.
Anyway, this time, it was more of a military training and experimental nature. Even if there were no results, it was normal.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
Not long after Xiang Yunduan finished speaking, the tiger suddenly barked, and while barking back, he kept digging at the earth and rocks under his feet with his claws.
"found it?!"
Before Xiang Yunduan could speak, Comrade Deputy Director, who had been tense next to him, spoke first, with shock, suspicion, and surprise in his tone.
"This is the place, let the comrades come and dig!" Xiang Yunduan said.
Soon, the public security officers brought by the deputy director and the trainers brought by Xiang Yunduan began to clean up the ruins here.
Logically speaking, cleaning up the ruins is also a technical job. Improper operation is likely to cause a secondary collapse.
But at this time, everyone really couldn't care so much. After all, where did so many people who knew the technology come from? They could only try to be careful during the excavation process.
Fortunately, the whole process went very smoothly and no secondary collapse occurred.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
After digging for about ten minutes, Huzi's voice sounded again.
"I saw it, I saw it!"
"Be careful, don't walk from above!"
"It's a gay man. He seems to be injured on his head. There is blood!"
"Quickly, help me!"
……
The crowd's voices were chaotic. However, their hearts were united, and soon the comrade under the rubble was rescued.
"Still breathing!"
Xiang Yunduan tested the comrade's breath and said.
"Quickly, two people come and take this comrade to the hospital!" the deputy director commanded.
In this current situation, medical resources are also very tight. After all, there is only one hospital in the county and there are not many medical staff.
Fortunately, medical staff from other places are arriving one after another, and the situation will be alleviated to a certain extent.
"Oh, it's amazing. It took only so long to find someone. As expected of a comrade in the department, he is really capable!" The deputy director looked at the wounded man being sent away and looked at Xiang Yunduan in surprise. .
With Huzi's successful proofing this time, other police dogs gradually began to understand the mission objectives. After all, the ones who could be picked out by Xiang Yunduan as police dogs must be more clever. In addition, when these police dogs first started training, they were also Huzi has learned from Huzi, so they are also very experienced in learning from Huzi.
Don’t forget, Huzi is still the dog king of the base. Every move of this dog king is usually imitated by other dogs.
What happened next was easier to handle. All the police dogs dispersed and began to shuttle through the ruins of this large residential area.
The more advantageous point is that the current houses are basically single-story, which makes the difficulty of searching by police dogs and subsequent excavations the lowest.
Soon, Huzi found the second buried mass.
Unfortunately, when this comrade was dug out from the rubble, he had no heartbeat.
As time passed, other police dogs also began to make gains. In just two hours, a total of three people were found.
Soon, the "abnormal" situation here was discovered by other people and staff. When everyone came to take a look, they naturally understood the specific situation.
What makes people more embarrassed is that after knowing that police dogs have such abilities, many people asked for the help of police dogs. After all, everyone has selfishness, and there are also family and friends buried under the rubble.
Although the specific range cannot be determined, the general range can still be seen. If there is a police dog to assist, the chance of finding it will be greatly increased.
If the person is dead, then of course there is nothing to say, but if the person is just trapped and still has vital signs, then time is too precious. A minute earlier may have resulted in a very different outcome.
Naturally, Xiang Yunduan could not agree to the requests of these people. He could only let the police dogs search in order of scope.
Many people were crying and shouting to kneel down to Xiang Yunduan, which deeply touched his heart. He could naturally understand the feeling of wanting to save the lives of his relatives, but there was nothing he could do!
"Where is it? Where is it?"
When it was getting dark, an unexpected guest suddenly arrived.
Comrade Deputy Director looked at the middle-aged man who came here accompanied by two or three people and frowned, but he still stepped forward to say hello.
"Deputy Director Wu, I heard that you have police dogs here that can help search for buried people?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes, these are..." The deputy director was about to introduce, but was interrupted by a middle-aged man.
"Why are you so careless about the overall situation? Why don't you report it if you have such a method?"
The middle-aged man said aggressively: "We will discuss your questions later. Now, transfer all these police dogs to the cement factory. There are many comrades workers in the cement factory. Save these comrades workers first!"
"Cement factory?"
The deputy director was stunned and said: "When the earthquake happened, we hadn't gone to work yet, so there couldn't have been many people. This is a residential area, and there are more people buried. We should search here first..."
"Wu Cai, this is an order. I'll transfer you here as soon as I tell you. Where did you get all this nonsense!" the middle-aged man said with a change of expression.
Seeing the middle-aged man say this, Comrade Deputy Director's face became ugly. If he remembered correctly, the man in front of him has a young son who just got hired in the security department of the cement plant this year. Could it be that it happened to be his turn last night? On duty? Buried?
