His detachment arrived at Jinhua Town by foot at 4 AM on May 15. They were the first rescue team to reach the town, which had been cut off since the 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Sichuan Province on May 12. A brigade of around 100 soldiers is stationed in Luoshui, which was devastated by the quake.
