Chapter 578 On-site Disposal
In fact, what Zhuang Zhuang did not know was that this kind of "mine-sweeping bomb" was a new type of mine-clearing explosive developed by Xu Hanyuan and his comrades-in-arms after summing up their experience in the first large-scale mine-sweeping operation.
The most direct way to encounter a minefield on the battlefield is to use the method of "opening up a passage".
In fact, it is not complicated to open up a channel, and the general use of in-line charges is to tie TNT explosives to a 2-3 meter long wooden stick or plank, and use a fire detonator to ignite it and directly rush to the edge of the minefield, and stretch the wooden stick into the minefield.
Then after the bombing was done once, the engineer team behind followed and blew it all the way over.
This allows the detonated explosives to produce a huge shock wave that can induce mines planted in the ground.
The sappers marked the passage with small red flags in the bombed places so that the follow-up troops could pass in turn.
The problem is that this method of clearing the passage by engineers is not efficient in the case of large-scale minefield clearance, and it is extremely informative for the personnel involved.
Because it is tied to TNT blocks, the pressure at the center and the edge is different when it is exploded, and sometimes the mines in the edge area cannot be detonated, so it is often very unsafe.
In summary, it is labor-intensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and half the effort.
Therefore, in the first large-scale mine-sweeping operation, Xu Hanyuan, who witnessed all this, began to use his brain.
After that, he found several senior engineers in the command and sat down to talk about it.
Inspired by the old-fashioned blasting canister, it was decided to create a small, connectable, and indefinitely extendable blasting and demining device.
After several setbacks, half a year later, this kind of connected minesweeping appeared on the front line of minesweeping in southern Yunnan Province.
The efficiency of this "minesweeper" is more than ten times higher than that of the previous TNT explosive block, and it only takes 10 minutes to bundle a 2-meter-long in-line charge blasting device, while the total minesweeper only takes 40 seconds.
As soon as the mine-sweeping bombs came out, they were very popular with the front-line demining officers and men.
It's just that new problems soon arise.
In 1994, in the operation area of the D79 minefield in Maxian County.
When a soldier was in charge of setting up a minesweeper, an accident unfortunately occurred.
Pick up the first section, it's fine. After the second session, it's fine......
But when the third section was connected, the first section of the minesweeper hit something and exploded.
With a loud bang. The explosion broke Chen Jianjun's left middle finger and ring finger, and his household account was also blown up, and the lightning rod flew seven or eight meters away and landed in the grass.
After hearing the news, Xu Hanyuan and his comrades-in-arms walked into the minefield with two soldiers wearing mine-proof and explosion-proof suits in order to find out the cause of the accident.
At the site of the incident, several people found an explosion crater the size of a bowl.
A lot of "72" anti-infantry mines were also searched. Judging from this situation, Xu Hanyuan believed that when the demining soldiers were connected to the "mine-sweeping shells," the body of the bullet itself was elongated like the blasting canister, and when it was lengthened, it was constantly extended outward, and it was estimated that it poked a Type 72 anti-infantry mine when it was extended, causing an explosion.
After finding out the reason, Xu Hanyuan was shocked into a cold sweat.
Because each minesweeper is also 50 centimeters shortest, and the charge inside is two kilograms of "ammonium ladder" explosives. This explosive can produce a 6000 m/s blast wave when exploding, once the explosive mine detonates the ammonium ladder explosive at the end, it will produce a chain reaction, one after another explodes, the operator is just a broken finger, and the bones are difficult to survive!
After returning from the scene, Xu Hanyuan made some improvements to the "minesweeper" and installed a reverse explosion rejection device on the body of the minesweeper.
At present, these demining teams are using "minesweepers" that have been improved with reverse detonation rejection devices, and even if they are tied to 200 grams of TNT explosives, they cannot detonate this new type of minesweeper.
The soldiers of the two mine-sweeping teams put on blast suits and carefully used blast blankets to slowly put up the two baskets of mines one by one, and then the other three ran dozens of meters away, digging pits with sapper shovels and hoes.
Solemnly watched from afar, Xu Hanyuan ordered not to go over, and the soldiers of the hunter detachment could only block both ends of the dirt road from a distance, sealing it off to prevent people from approaching.
The sappers of the demining team moved very slowly, solemnly but with a heart-pounding look.
Su Huikai shook his head from the beginning when he saw others moving thunder.
solemnly said: "Old Su, what have you been tsking about?" ”
"O warriors!" Su Huikai said: "Look at it, don't look at them wearing body armor, there are so many thunders, even if you carry a fast steel plate to block it, it's useless, the shock wave is enough to shock people to death." ”
Zhuang Yan couldn't help but ask: "Yes...... But in that case, why do you still wear it? ”
Su Huikai turned her head sideways to look at Zhuang Zheng, didn't speak for a while, and then turned her head away and didn't speak again.
Majeredom seemed to understand something in that moment.
Warrior.
This title can be made with a desperate spell.
This is the first time that the solemn has come into close contact with a mine, and it is a real mine that has been taken out and is in a state of readiness.
When the gray and white smoke from the huge explosion rushed into the sky, the solemn man who was lying on the ground a hundred meters away still felt the ground shake.
The cars had already driven a few hundred meters away, in order to prevent the glass windows from being shattered.
It's so powerful!
72 mines and grenades, mixed with some rusty bullets, can produce such an amazing explosive power.
The solemn suddenly developed a heartfelt admiration for these deminers.
Although he is a member of the special forces, he seems to be nothing compared to these soldiers who deal with death every day.
These people are simply fierce people who dare to play chess face to face with death!
Every time a mine is removed, it is a wrist-wrestling contest with the Grim Reaper.
If you win, the world will have one less harmful mine, and the people on the border will be less dangerous; If you lose, you will either lose your hands and feet or your eyes, or you will directly take your own life.
I'm afraid there aren't many professions in the world that are as dangerous as deminers.
After clearing mines, the convoy once again clattered and staggered forward on the dirt road.
The further you go into the mountains, the more desolate you become.
Surrounded by barren mountains and wasteland, I occasionally saw a place where people drove sheep by.
The convoy finally entered a small mountain village.
Zhang Yuyi, who was sitting on the edge of the baffle, suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
"Look!"

Fourth, today's promise has been fulfilled. Guys, we'll see you at 1680. The reputation of the seven officials is okay, right? Tomorrow the little girl is full moon, and she is busy, so I will write four more in the evening and wait for you, and then tomorrow if there is an excess, I will start to make up for it the day after tomorrow. Words count, never in arrears.
I don't think it's rare to be able to keep four watches on the day of my daughter's full moon wine, right? I didn't save the manuscript, so I wrote it now because the story was in my head.
