Chapter 180: Bomb Disposal

The tropical broad-leaved primeval jungle is also known by another name, called the tropical rainforest, and the reason why it is called the rainforest is because the rainforest is rich in water vapor. Even if it doesn't rain in the sky, you can feel a little rain when you walk under the canopy due to the spitting effect of the leaves.

I walked in the rainforest for nearly three days, which was not bad, because our physical strength was still very abundant, although the equipment was so heavy and heavy, but a few people talked and laughed along the way, and they didn't feel very tired.

Although I helped Sheng Xiaonan carry two bases of ammunition, Sheng Xiaonan's package was still very heavy. When it was time for us to rest again, we decided to cut off some weight. This time, I felt that Sheng Xiaonan was really thinking about it a little too carefully.

Tents, sleeping bags, water bottles, etc., we don't seem to really need them. On the contrary, it only increased the weight of our march.

Later, the equipment was too heavy, and I didn't expect it to be so difficult to march in such a muddy rainforest, so I proposed to throw away some water bottles and water bags and make a few hammocks out of canvas tents, and the equipment was lightened a little.

That evening, we started looking for a campsite. Huzi took off his quick-drying sweat-wicking suit, wrung the water inside vigorously, and began to look around. Looks like I'm looking for something.

I asked, "Huzi, what are you looking for?" ”

Huzi looked disappointed and said: "Looking for dry firewood, alas, this unlucky place, there is not even dry firewood, this is wet all over, it seems that our life is not good." ”

Sheng Xiaonan said: "Forget it, it's still dry firewood." Is it more comfortable to find a kang for your home? ”

When it comes to the ondol, I have a good idea, after all, I am still the captain, and sometimes, some of the team's decisions still depend on me. So I asked Sheng Xiaonan to fortify the periphery of the camp, and the others tried to find something to burn, and Tang Lei went to cut some branches. So everyone started to get busy.

Sheng Xiaonan's work is relatively easy, the so-called fortification is to draw a circle with irritating drugs on the periphery of the entire campsite, this kind of medicine I really can't name, just a small brown bottle. The zodiac roughly outlined the scope of the camp and spilled the liquid in his hand on the circle. Suddenly, there was a pungent smell, just like the water sprayed in the house during SARS. In this way, some bugs and wild beasts will not dare to enter our camp rashly.

But the tiger who is looking for dry firewood, the tiger really goes far away, but in this rainforest, where to find it? Even if there are some dead and fallen trees, they are immediately degraded by some saprophytic fungi. The hard work paid off, and finally in a tree hollow, Huzi found some slightly dry xylem, and Huzi pried some off with a dagger and brought it back.

I took the pieces of tent I had just discarded and other unused equipment, set up firewood, poured liquid fuel, lit it, and it was good, but it was dry and didn't make much smoke up. Sheng Xiaonan looked at the fire and said, "If we go further into the jungle, then we can't make a fire, because these smoke are likely to alarm our target." ”

We boiled some compressed biscuits on the fire with our lunch boxes and ate them, and in the evening we swept away the ashes of the fire and spread branches on the ground where the fire had just been lit. The whole person is warm, and in such an extreme environment, it is still very comfortable.

There is no need to repeat the rest of the time, in short, it is the same feeling, that is, the physical exhaustion, the tall canopy of the trees blocks the direct sunlight, and the whole rainforest is very damp. The water vapor is very high, and I am worried that if I continue like this, I will get pulmonary edema.

Besides, we often march in the mud, and we have to do it, and when we rarely do it, our three male comrades are okay to say, but these two female team members, the suffering can be imagined.

Another thing that I can't stand is my feet, and I remember that an old soldier I know once told me that he had been a scout, and the most important thing for their entire reconnaissance company was his own feet, and every night before going to bed, he had to burn his feet, no matter how difficult the conditions were. After scalding his feet at night, he didn't know what was tired the next day, and when he pursued Huang Baitao and Huang Wei's corps on the plains for thousands of miles, he sacrificed his feet and raced with the enemy's truck, and he didn't fall behind at all.

However, I felt that my own feet inside the combat boots were like soaking in water, and when we took off our shoes during the break, the soles of our feet and toes were already white and wrinkled with blisters, and they were no longer what they looked like.

Sheng Xiaonan took out a black bag from a backpack, I was stunned, and said what is this, I looked at everyone's reactions, only Tang Lei stretched out his thumb like Sheng Xiaonan, showing an appreciative smile, and the other boys all looked at each other.

Sheng Xiaonan took out the contents of his pocket, and I found out that this was actually a sanitary napkon for girls.

The mushroom head's expression was a little thoughtful, and he took the two tampons in his hand and said, "Political commissar, if you give us this kind of thing, we are useless, what are you doing?" ”

Sheng Xiaonan said: "There is a lot of nonsense, hurry up and use it as an insole and put it under your feet, and your life will be much more comfortable." ”

Sure enough, with this thing under my feet, I was much more comfortable during the march in the future, at least my feet were dry. That's a very happy thing.

After marching in the rainforest for about a week, we finally reached the north of the rainforest, the junction of the three countries, where the forest is relatively sparse, and the fallen leaves under our feet are not as deep as before, and further on, it is the world's notorious Golden Triangle.

At this point, we have officially started our operation, and we have made clear the purpose of our operation, which is to cooperate with the domestic public security and border defense, find out a route for these drug lords to transport drugs to our country, and find out their laws. and then cooperate with the people in the territory to completely defeat these people.

In order to broaden the scope of the search, we began to work in groups and opened the communication equipment we were carrying.

When grouping, it is also more interesting, two by two, naturally Sheng Xiaonan and me, originally arranged for Huzi to act alone and find a sniper position, but Tang Lei disagreed, saying that he was a sniper, only by holding a sniper rifle, he had a sense of security in his heart, helpless, Huzi and the mushroom head group, Tang Lei picked up his M8, prepared a precise electronic map, and walked towards the distance.

Huzi and Mushroom Head also counted their equipment, and also left, and now only me and Sheng Xiaonan are left.

I asked, "Sheng Xiaonan informed, what should we do now?" ”

Sheng Xiaonan sighed and said, "It seems that you really forgot that you are the captain, and you really are the shopkeeper?" Now, we're going to head to point A on the map. ”

Without saying anything all the way, Sheng Xiaonan and I took off the gun we were carrying on our backs and began to touch it towards point A.

I watched Sheng Xiaonan be very cautious along the way, constantly searching the microphone with the gun in his hand, and repeatedly told the other members to be cautious.

I felt that Sheng Xiaonan was making a fuss, so I asked: "Political commissar, let's not do it, after all, this is a deep mountain and old forest, inaccessible to people, even if these drug traffickers have some channel for transporting drugs in this forest, it will not be so strictly guarded, is it possible that there will be people standing guard on both sides of the channel?" ”

Sheng Xiaonan made a silent gesture, and I immediately squatted down. Sheng Xiaonan carefully took away the leaves blocking in front of him, only to see a hidden mine tripwire appear in front of our eyes.

I just broke out in a cold sweat, and said in my heart, no matter what, this is neither a national border nor a battlefield left behind, how can there be such a thunder?

I hurriedly waved my hand, asking Sheng Xiaonan not to act rashly, after all, demining requires boldness and carefulness, Sheng Xiaonan slowly retreated, and then connected the communication, and said: "Everyone, pay attention, now we have entered the minefield, it seems that it is almost here, everyone must be careful, clear?" ”

"Clear!"

"Clear!"

"Clear!"

Sheng Xiaonan retreated, I put the gun behind my back, and then gently picked up the branches with both hands, only to find that this was really not an ordinary thunder.

This kind of mine should be a kind of tripping mine. This kind of thing is extremely concealed, and often uses transparent tripwires as a way to fire. When laying tripping thunder, the minelayer must adjust the laying state of the tripping device and the tension of the tripwire. When the tripwire is pulled or cut, the mine is detonated. In actual laying, the slightest mistake can be a fatal blow to a minelayer. Therefore, minelaying is a delicate operation. It requires the minelayer to be dexterous, accurate and have a certain degree of sophistication. Similarly, demining is extremely difficult.

I sighed and quietly retreated, Sheng Xiaonan asked, "How is it?" Do you have the ability to arrange? ”

I frowned and said, "This thunder is very orderly, don't look at it hanging on a tree branch, but the ordinary wind and grass are really fine, but if someone tries to eliminate it, the force above the tripwire changes, and it will detonate." I don't think we need to touch this mold, let's take a detour. ”

Sheng Xiaonan stared at this forest carefully, as if he couldn't figure it out, and said to the mushroom head: "Mushroom, let the eaglet out, show me a panoramic view!" ”
