After shouting for several minutes, there was still no response, and Li Mu had to report to Chen Tao through the Guò Individual Soldier Radio: "Headhunter!

Chen Tao said decisively: "Evacuate, the fire is about to spread, and there is not much time!"

Li Mu said: "I will evacuate from the valley! The way back must have been blocked by the fire!"

Before Chen Tao could speak, suddenly, Li Mu heard the barking of a dog again!

This time it's really clear!

"Whoa!

The dog barks non-stop!

Li Mu was pleasantly surprised, and quickly followed the sound to find the location, and looked closely, under a big tree, on the dense vegetation, two heads were faintly exposed, a dog head, and a human head, all of which were still moving!

"Headhunter! Found someone! One man and one dog! At the bottom of the valley!" Li Mu quickly reported.

Chen Tao was also happy, but he was very calm, "Don't panic! find out the situation first, find a good route and then go down to save people!"

"Understood!" Li Mu said, emphasizing "you must not come down! If the fire spreads to the valley at that time, no one will be able to escape!"

Forest fires, where is the most dangerous place, are those areas that are close to the fire but have not yet burned! For example, the mountain, which has been burning for so long, has almost burned out, there is not much danger there, as long as you are careful of the trees that will collapse at any time and do not bake them.

Li Mu was extremely aware of this, so he didn't let the others come down.

"Headhunters! You'd better set up a safe area up there and closely observe the direction of the wind! I'll go down first to see the situation of the people asking for help!" Li Mu didn't care about the difference in rank, and said to Chen Tao urgently.

Chen Tao had to adopt Li Mu's advice, because it was true that his experience was not as good as Li Mu's. As a young Zhuang officer who grew up in the war, he spent most of his time working in the agency after leaving the front line, and when did he participate in non-military operations.

"Build a barrier!" Chen Tao ordered, and began to move with the iron broom.

Previously, the others had been extinguishing the open flames outward, and their location, in fact, was at the bottom of the two slopes, on the ridge about thirty meters long, and after hard work, they had already controlled the open flames from spreading to this side.

At this point, the machete came in handy.

They are all experienced in forest firefighting. Lin Yu's body sank vigorously, and with a few knives, he cut a tree with a thick arm, and dragged the whole person down, breaking it alive, and then cutting off the connected bark, grabbing the trunk and throwing it to the fire!

This is the right choice, cut down trees, in the case of not ensuring safety, then let the fire burn, under controlled circumstances, because any flammable objects around are a threat!

Zhao Yiyun, Du Xiaofan and Shi Lei, leaving Shi Lei to take care of the rope, and the other two worked with Chen Tao to put out the fire on the opposite mountain with an iron broom. They are not in a hurry, and those who cannot get close are burned by them, first extinguishing the fire, and then the fire on the trunk. The fire in the canopy has no roots and will soon be extinguished.

A forest fire like this would not be very effective if it weren't for the amount of fresh water thrown by the planes at a magnitude of more than a few tons, because the water would be evaporated by the heat in a very short time!

Li Mu's company is equipped with a fire extinguishing water tank, but it plays a limited role, and can only be used to eliminate dark fires in the later stage, conduct carpet inspections on the fire site, and use water tanks to spray water to cool down the trunks of trees with high temperatures, completely eliminating the possibility of re-ignition.

Before the fire spread, the efforts of several people were still effective, at least roughly opening up a temporarily safe area, but they still had to endure the high temperature.

Chen Tao stopped to catch his breath and pressed the call button again: "Li Mu!

The situation was so tense that he couldn't bother to use a code name to match it, not to mention that this was a non-military mission, so there was no need to use a code name. There are two considerations for using code names, the first is to give the soldiers a sense of psychological superiority, and the second is to consider that if the enemy intercepts the radio and can't hear the reason, it is a kind of protection for the identity of the soldiers.

Li Mu's voice came: "I'm approaching someone to ask for help! I'm almost at the bottom of the valley! I'm basically going down the rock wall, and there is no way at all!"

"Pay attention to safety! Timely report if there is a situation!" Chen Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, an evil wind blew sideways.

Zhao Yiyun, who was standing in the limelight, paused suddenly, raised his head to look at the raging fire, and could vaguely see the burning canopy swinging southward.

It was a westerly wind blowing just now, that is to say, the fire was spreading roughly eastward, towards the location where Chen Tao and the others were staying, so they had to clear the isolation zone and build a safe area in such a hurry.

Zhao Yiyun thought it was just a gust of wind, so he didn't go to his heart and continued to fight the open flames forward.

Suddenly another gust of wind came, this time stronger, and the whole hill fell to the south side of the trees, and some branches and branches that were about to fall fell down.

"The situation is not quite right, headhunter!" Zhao Yiyun suddenly became vigilant.

Why?

Because the valley is on the south side of the mountain!

With the wind on this side, the fire will soon spread towards the valley, and the valley is so dense with trees and vegetation, if it burns, Li Mu may have a dozen catties left!

Chen Tao also noticed that the wind direction was wrong, and before he could speak, a continuous cross wind blew, and many burning branches crackled down the slope on the side of the valley, and some sporadic ones were blown directly into the valley!

Just like a corpse, Chen Tao jumped up suddenly, his hand to press the call button trembled a little, and he almost shouted at the dialogue microphone: "Li Mu! Come up immediately! Evacuate the valley immediately!

Li Mu's voice soon came back: "I have reached the bottom of the valley, I see someone asking for help! Soon, I will take him up!"

Chen Tao calmed down for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Li Mu, pay attention to the slope opposite you, the wind direction has changed abruptly, and the fire has begun to spread from the slope to the valley!

Zhao Yiyun and the others all stopped moving, they were powerless! Because the fire burned in a place they couldn't reach, because the source of the fire fell from the top down, so the trees on the slope of the valley started to burn from the canopy bushes!

What are the consequences?

Branches of trees that are burning or have become fiery red carbon are constantly falling!

Once the fire reaches a scale, it will be like pouring gasoline, not burning one by one, but expanding the area one by one, which is very powerful!

The most feared thing is not this, no matter how the slope burns, it will be difficult to affect Li Mu at the bottom of the valley, but don't forget, the sporadic fires on the slope are constantly falling at the bottom of the valley!

If the valley floor is lit, as long as there is a little bit of fire, without being extinguished, it will soon become large, and after a large area is lit, the whole valley will be like a stove, and it will be a stove with a lot of fuel!

Li Mu, including the forest ranger and the dog, are the three little ants at the bottom of this stove!

The most important thing is that this kind of wildfire burns very quickly!

The urgency of the situation is indescribable, the valley floor was originally the safest place, but as soon as the wind direction changed, it immediately became the most dangerous area!

Li Mu's speed must be fast enough to climb up with the rangers before the fire at the bottom of the valley becomes a threat!
