The people who heard the roar immediately looked towards the main road right in front of them.
The towering tank, supposed to be 22 meters high, was now engulfed in flames, its body invisible.
The flames reached at least 30 meters in height.
What was even more terrifying was that the tank was evidently positioned high up, with the oil fire flowing downwards, continuing to spread around the area.
The main road was its primary flow direction.
Fang Huai viewed this scene, recalling only a short video from his past life that could match it.
Volcanic eruption.
Meanwhile, the three squadrons ahead hadn’t even approached the tank, but were stationed two hundred meters away, blocking the advancing fire. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Around them were several other large tanks within a few dozen meters.
Any human would feel fear in front of this scene.
Even standing here, they could feel the heat pressure, while the soldiers of the three squadrons, surrounded by several tanks, bravely held their ground, evidently indifferent to life or death.
Upon seeing this, Fang Huai said no more and waved his hand forward.
"Brothers! Follow me!"
...
Merely 20 minutes had passed.
"Isn’t this too fierce?!"
He marveled inwardly.
The Full Attendance Command, with about a hundred people, watched the real deal: In just 10 minutes after their arrival, the flowing fire line, which had continually pushed the Dalian Brigade back, was now unexpectedly pushed forward by more than twenty meters by them!
This was after three explosions at Tank 103, and the speed of the flowing oil had far exceeded that of half an hour ago!
Two squadrons set up four cannons and over a dozen hoses, forming a foam battle line over twenty meters long. They attacked from both directions, with one team resting, the other would advance, every gunner clad in fire-fighting suits like little silver men, seemingly unaffected by the fierce heat.
The leadership of the logistics department was relieved: fortunately, other men from the brigade were battling on different fronts, not witnessing this.
What the hell is this equipment?
Our squadron only got two sets of high-temperature fire-fighting suits! And those are for the assault team, how come they seem to have them all??
At this moment, Fang Huai, holding a two-way radio tuned to the Dalian Brigade’s channel, was still not satisfied:
"Check the front, brothers, and see if our water supply truck has arrived! If not, connect a few more water hoses! We are advancing towards the tank and we’re running out of water!"
Chief Cong, observing the water slowly flowing from the front with a lot of foam, couldn’t help but pick up the radio and frown:
"Comrade Fang! This is a prolonged battle, we can’t fight like this! How much foam did you bring? Our brigade’s 50 tons of foam has all been brought in, and after this round of replenishing, only 9 tons are left! With your method of fighting, the transportation of foam will definitely be too late! We can’t supply enough!"
At that moment, Fang Huai at the front turned back and smiled:
"Don’t worry, Chief. Since we are here for a chemical exercise, we have plenty of foam!"
Chief Cong was stunned.
Getting foam tonight won’t be easy.
The foam factory in Dalian has no loading facilities. Forget logistics, there isn’t even a platform, only air transportation from Yuhong Foam Factory in Shenyang is the fastest.
My entire brigade normally stocks 50 tons of foam, estimated to supply the main force of the brigade for just 4 hours of combat, and just now I was coordinating with the leadership to have Shenyang dispatch two Yun-8 transporters to bring us 20 tons! With just your two squadrons, how much can you have?
"How much foam do you have?"
Laughter came through the radio again: "Is there anyone in the back vehicle? Show our foam to the leadership."
At that moment, Hao Chengbin, who was a few meters away coordinating the connection of the long-distance water supply truck, walked over with the radio, and directed the leaders of the Dalian Brigade towards two rescue and relief vehicles parked outside, grinning:
"Please rest assured, leaders! When we came, Captain Fang had already said we’d be doing three days of exercises! Full deployment of foam! We weren’t planning to bother you, so we brought our own foam, the two squadrons of us!
water trucks, although their tanks were empty, were fully loaded with foam! Totaling 29 tons! And a few vehicles unable to pump water had their equipment storage fully packed with foam barrels—even the roofs! Strapped down with 200 kg foam barrels, a total of more than 70, all adding up to about fifteen tons! free𝑤ebnovel.com
Forty-something tons of foam! Enough to keep us going till dawn, no problem!"
As he spoke, he walked over to a rescue vehicle parked across the road and casually opened an equipment box, which was clearly packed with two black foam barrels.
Looking at the roof platform, it was all tied down with rope, securing about seven or eight barrels.
All of it was foam.
Some of the brigade cadres were previously regretting that so many vehicles and people had come, several being rescue and smoke extraction vehicles that couldn’t pump water!
Now seeing this, what the hell is this? Isn’t this a foam supply vehicle??
The extra personnel were all quickly laying out the water hose network!
This contingent, which seemed to be two squadrons, was effectively a whole brigade!
