Chapter 576: Shocking
Xu Hanyuan left a hand.
He used the excuse to gossip a few words, asked the villagers which village they belonged to, and said that he had no money on him, and sent him the money in a basket.
When the villagers heard that they had paid for their baskets, they were happy, but they were not guarded, and after saying that, they took fifty yuan and left happily.
The convoy couldn't move on.
There are two bamboo baskets of explosives on the side of the road, which can explode at any time.
You can't get them in the car, the devil knows that the road is bumpy, and if you don't do it, it will explode.
There is also the 40 fire propellant that "can smoke mice", which is completely exposed, and although it will not explode when encountering high temperatures, it will be as "bright" as a big firework.
Standing on the side of the road, Xu Hanyuan used Director Li's mobile phone to call the headquarters and asked him to send three EOD men over immediately.
You can only wait.
The soldiers of the hunter detachment consciously held their guns and gathered around the two baskets of explosives.
Xu Hanyuan squatted down next to the basket and carefully inspected the model of the mine inside.
Solemnly and cautiously probing his head to look that way.
The baskets were full of rusty mines and grenades, and in terms of shape, there were all kinds of them, from anti-infantry mines that were prototyped like mooncakes to tripping mines in the shape of cylindrical strips......
A few grenades were even more solemn and frightened, the wooden handles had rotted, some were half-missing, only an iron head remained, and the pull ring and detonating detonator device were exposed!
Even after rigorous psychological training, Zhuang Yan still felt a chill on his spine.
The solemn contact is all expiration date explosives, detonators, TNT, etc., and grenades, which are all brand new, completely different from these broken mines and grenades.
One is measurable and stable, the other is completely none, and exposed munitions can even explode due to chemical interaction with the air.
Sun Hong gradually squatted down beside Xu Hanyuan, looked at it for a while, and said, "Where did he find so many thunders?" ”
Xu Hanyuan smiled bitterly: "I guess he dug it himself, or it may have been dug by others, and he was gathered for him to sell at one time." ”
"Mines are sold?" Sun Hongjian was a little surprised.
It was his first time here, so he was surprised by the situation.
This thing is strictly forbidden to be bought and sold, how can it be openly sold in the market?
Xu Hanyuan looked at the two baskets of mines, shook his head and said, "Captain Han, you don't know our border people here. The war of that year left not only landmines, but also the blood and sweat of the border people. ”
"After the battle, there are so many minefields left here, and the land cannot be planted at all, and even food is a problem. Cities that have not fought wars have been reforming and opening up in recent years, and they have invigorated the economy, how can they be done here? If you go up the mountain, you may step on a mine, and if you accidentally step into a ditch while farming, you will also touch a mine. Ma County used to be unable to pay wages in March, children in the mountains could not afford to go to school, and it was not uncommon for adults to be unclothed. Dig some mines and sell them as scrap iron in the bazaar, that is money, even if it is a few dozen yuan, it can be enough for a month's food expenses. There are a lot of ridiculous things here, but there are reasons for them. Some people dig mines for thieves, an old man in a certain village, he dug three mines and went home, went out to see relatives, thought about burying himself at the door to prevent thieves, took over his wife and went home first, and blew up his wife...... There were also a few villagers in a certain village, drinking and arguing together, and the other turned around and went out, and when he turned around, a grenade was thrown in...... A drink kills several people. What is the reason for this? Is it all their fault? ”
"I participated in the first border minesweeping operation, do you know what I saw back then? At the station of our mine-sweeping brigade, the common people often come to pick up the contents of the buckets of swill, the spoiled meals, and the pigskins we threw away...... Brother comrade, you are very young, and there are many things that you have never seen or experienced, and you don't know what kind of mood we felt at that time. ”
"The 20 people who stood in front of the station went there to feel the situation, and they stayed for only three days, and on the third day, they saw that some villagers came to the cooking class to catch swill. I cried on the spot...... We are soldiers, and we have a responsibility for the life of ordinary people! Since that day, I swore that if the mines on the border are not swept away, I will not change jobs! ”
Sun Hongjian is an officer who has graduated from the military academy for less than two years, and has just hung the rank of lieutenant.
He's never been here, and he's never served here.
After listening to Xu Hanyuan's words, the shock in his heart was no less than a major earthquake of top intensity.
Xu Hanyuan said: "During the first large-scale mine sweep, we opened up a port and handed it over to the local government, and the fiscal revenue increased by 3 million yuan in the second half of the year. If you have money, you can do things for the people, and the county government and villagers send pennants to our headquarters one by one, do you know what kind of mood we are in? ”
Sun Hong swallowed with difficulty.
Xu Hanyuan said: "Young man, I'll settle accounts for you again." There are many minefields in the world, and apart from us, the poorest countries spend $50,000 per square kilometer on demining, and in the case of country J, which is not far from us, they are very poor, but the United Nations supports them with $240,000 per square kilometer. Do you know how much we spend on mine clearance? ”
"I don't know......" Sun Hong shook his head.
"Take this second demining as an example, we undertook 109 square kilometers of mine clearance tasks, the state gave us a total of 65 million yuan, remember, it is RMB, go out to enclose some minefields that cannot be swept temporarily, the remaining is only 61 million, and the average is only about 540,000 per square kilometer. One square kilometer is 1,000,000 square meters, and it is 5 dimes and four cents per square meter...... Converted to less than seven cents of US dollars. If calculated according to the standard of 3 mines per square meter, our fighters only need 1 dime and eight cents to eliminate a mine! ”
"What is demining? According to the United Nations, for every 500 mines cleared, a deminer's life is filled in for every 500 mines they support. Our soldiers, with an allowance of dozens of yuan, are doing things to deal with death, if it weren't for the little emotion and sense of responsibility for our country and the border people, who would do it? Who would dare to do it?! ”
Sun Hongjian has been completely defeated.
In front of Xu Hanyuan, the colonel, Sun Hong gradually became a little embarrassed.
His own indiscretion led to his own embarrassment.
It is not because Xu Hanyuan's military rank is higher than himself, but because Xu Hanyuan is "taller" than himself, both mentally and in action.
What is Hero?
People like Xu Hanyuan are living heroes.
Soldiers worship heroes, and in front of heroes, you have to be honest.

I looked at the monthly pass, tonight's four watches should be enough, and some book friends said that tomorrow my daughter will be busy with full moon wine, and I will be caught off guard tomorrow...... I'm dizzy, I'm not an enemy! You can't do this to me!
PS: Many young people may be very new to demining, so let's read on, follow the keyboard of the seven senses, and walk into the real border minefield together. Hail to those true heroes!
This book is supposed to be a tribute to heroes!
