Chapter Eighty-Seven: Landmines
"So, Lin Xue is not your own sister?" On the way back to the dormitory, I casually asked.
But to my surprise, Li Pinghe, who was walking beside me, didn't answer my words at all, and turned his head to look at him suspiciously, but saw him giggling while walking!
"Commissar, commissar
"Huh? What the? I screamed several times in a row, and the volume became louder and louder, and finally pulled Li Pinghe out of his thoughts.
"I said the commissar!" Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You put us in the same class as Lin Xue, was it premeditated?" You've already figured it out! ”
"Say, what are you talking about, I happened that Li Pinghe really wouldn't lie, his white and pure face suddenly turned red, as if he had been scalded by boiling water, which only made me laugh.
"Captain! Don't tell anyone about this! Seeing that he couldn't hide it from me, and because we were comrades-in-arms who trusted him with life and death, Li Pinghe simply confessed: "I do, I have that meaning, but she."
"She doesn't like you?.
"No, it's not". Li Pinghe, who was originally speaking very smoothly, suddenly became stammering at this time, and said with some embarrassment for a long time: "I, I have never dared to tell her."
"Cut!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but beat Li Pinghe angrily and said, "What are you afraid of?" The Yankees' plane cannon in front of us didn't frown, and this girl's family made you dare not speak? ”
"You, you don't understand" Li Pinghe was a little overwhelmed by what I said.
I cut off: "I don't understand!" I know a lot more than you do! But you have to solve this matter yourself, and no one else can help! ”
"Hmm!" Li Pinghe nodded and patted me on the shoulder with emotion.
Before we knew it, we were back in the dormitory. As soon as I stepped through the door, I heard a laugh inside.
"I said who it was! It turned out that the mines were planted and returned! ”
"I don't know how many mines he planted outside this time, and how many reactionaries he blew up!?"
Then there was another burst of laughter, and it was the muscular 'flesh' man who laughed the most arrogantly.
I fixed my eyes and saw that it was the city soldiers. I was hungry and panicked without two meals, and I was holding my breath, where would I be able to endure it at this time. grabbed a dagger next to him and threw it out with a fierce shout.
"Take!" With a thud, the dagger flew almost against the muscular man's face, and then slammed it to the wooden ladder next to him.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the city soldiers, the country soldiers, and everyone in the dormitory were stunned, all of them looking at the dagger that was still shaking.
Although they are the backbone of the army, and all of them have strong military qualities, no one can do this.
"Hey! You're still playing for real! "Although the muscular 'fleshy' man knows that my hand is not simple, he is willing to pull down his hand, and he will get up from the 'bed' as soon as he takes off.
I had been prepared for this, and I grabbed it with a strong step, and when he was not yet able to stand firm, I gently sent him inside, and this muscular 'fleshy' man who looked like a mighty man could no longer move. Because at this time, his neck was right under the blade of the dagger nailed to the wooden ladder, and as long as I pushed a little harder, he would be splattered with blood on the spot.
"I don't have any other skills, but I have a lot of skills to kill!" I leaned into the muscular man's ear and said coldly, "If you don't believe me, I don't mind trying." Do you know what survival of the fittest is? Let me tell you, life is victory, death is exhaustion! If it's on the battlefield now, you've already died twice! ”
My 'sexual' personality. If someone else is tougher than me, I'll be tougher than him!
"Cui Tuan" Comrade Cui! Li Pinghe nervously held my hand and persuaded him: "He is not an enemy, he is his comrade, don't go overboard."
"Comrade! Don't mess around, you're just kidding! ”
"Yes! Comrades, they are all their own people, don't hurt the peace! ”
Seeing that there might be a ruckus for human life, the other students all rushed up to dissuade them, and some were busy taking off the daggers nailed to the wooden ladder.
"Hmm!" I nodded, and as soon as my hand was released, the muscular 'fleshy' man lost his center of gravity and sat down on the 'bed' with a "bang".
Li Pinghe: What's the matter. Political commissar, naturally know that this matter can be seen in a small way! This is an ordinary brawl, and if you look at it in the big picture, it can be regarded as an attempted murder and brought to court-martial.
So he pushed his glasses, arched his hand to the muscular 'meat' man and said: "Comrade Jiang Changshun Comrade Cui Wei and I both came down from the battlefield through the net, and I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, and Comrade Cui Wei has been on the battlefield for more than a year. You also know that there are too many people killed on the battlefield, and when this net comes back, it is often impossible to distinguish whether it is the battlefield or the rear, and sometimes the anger comes up and the eyes are red, and the hands are a little harder, comrades bear with me! ”
"It turned out that the net came down from the battlefield!"
"No wonder you are so ruthless!
As soon as Li Pinghe said this, the students began to discuss it.
"Cui, Comrade Cui!" Li Pinghe turned to me again and gave me a look.
Because I felt that it was not a very honorable thing to become an ordinary cadet studying at a military academy as a regiment commander and political commissar, Li Pinghe and I unanimously decided to be commensurate with comrades when there were outsiders.
"Yes ! Will! Seeing Li Ping and Mu Mo talking, I also stretched out my hand to the Che Yidao who was called Xingjiang Changshun.
But to my surprise, he ignored me, instead glared at me, nodded and said, "I'm sorry, it's over?" I've written down this brother, let's see! But don't worry, I won't make a small report to drag the front-line troops back 'legs'! ”
I smiled bitterly and spread my hands helplessly at Li Banhe. My 'sexual' personality never takes other people's threats to heart.
Afterwards, when I thought about it, I was secretly frightened, not because I was afraid of Jiang Changshun's revenge, but because I was thinking about when I was so cruel, and I became murderous as soon as my anger came up.
This may also be one of the after-effects of the war! I remember interviewing an old hero in the modern era who fought back in self-defense against Vietnam, who lost a 'leg' and carried a pair of crutches with him. Every time I walked out of the ward, my first reaction when I saw someone was to grab the crutches and smash them, one 'leg' and two pairs of crutches to attack in all directions. I regret it after the fight, and people didn't recruit you to provoke you, so I didn't fight back because you were disabled, you shouldn't have it! But the next time I go out of the 'door', I see that people don't want to think about it, so I still pick up the crutches,,
When this old hero was fighting in Vietnam, he hid in the cat's 'hole' alone and resisted the Vietnamese army for more than a month. Mao'er's 'hole' is a closed position, and if there is someone outside the 'hole', he will be the enemy, and he will fight with his gun. A dirty hand throws the grenade in, grabs it and throws it. Hitting people has long become a conditional counter-shooting.
I won't be like him, right?" if this is the case in the future, how can I become a normal person and live in society!
The next morning, I got up early and tied my legs before the other students got up. No way. I learned that if we were late again, we would be penalized as a class. It is said that this is to cultivate our collective sense of pride and the 'spirit' of collaboration.
In the army, there are many people who have such a 'sexual' nature. For example, in the routine five-kilometer cross-country in the morning, it is useless for the person in front to run fast, because the student who arrives last is counted as the result. This 'forced' the students to help each other. Those with good physical strength and fast runners take the initiative to help those with poor physical strength carry guns and backpacks.
It worked, at least for me. If I had been punished alone, I wouldn't have so much to worry about! It would have been better to kick me out of the military school, but the thought that the whole class might be punished for me makes me feel very sad. So the military hat, style and discipline buckle, etc., were sorted out one by one, and there was still time for Li Pinghe to check it when it was over, and then he ran out confidently.
Lin Xue was really in the queue today, although the students were almost all dressed the same, and they seemed to be almost the same at a glance, but for some reason, they could recognize Lin Xue just by looking at their backs. Maybe it's because I've seen too much masculinity on the battlefield, so I can turn tenderness like water at a glance... Recognize it! Isn't there such a saying, a soldier who has been on the battlefield for a long time, even if he sees a sow when he comes back, will treat her as a princess. What's more, Lin Xue is still an out-and-out beautiful 'girl', not to mention that she is also the 'daughter' of the vice principal."
Wait a minute! She is Li Pinghe's dream love, "I couldn't help but 'touch' my nose in embarrassment." He ran into the queue.
Maybe it was my dress yesterday that gave the teacher too deep an impression, so the instructor directly aimed at me, then nodded and said: "Well, Comrade Cui Wei has made great progress today and is worthy of praise, but the 'leg' needs to be improved,"
I glanced at Lin Xue who was standing next to me with the corner of my eye, only to see the corners of her mouth twitch, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh! I couldn't help but curse in my heart. I thought that at least I wouldn't have to lose face in front of the beautiful 'girl' this time, but I didn't expect the instructor to have so many mouths, and he shook out my ugly things as soon as he came up!
followed by a five-kilometer cross-country, which made me a little impressed by Lin Xue's physical fitness, I thought that she was a weak 'female' student, and she couldn't compare with our men! Even if we could keep up, we would have to carry guns or something, but I didn't expect her to use anything.
And with Lin Xue here, the soldiers in the class are running more energetically, and I obviously feel much more struggling than yesterday. Lin Xue, on the other hand, could still run and ask beside me, "Comrade Cui Wei, I heard that you almost made a mistake last night?" ”
"You, you know no" I was a little out of breath.
"Know what?" Lin Xue asked.
"Your brother Ping" I pointed to Li Pinghe, who was running in front, and said: "He is actually not suitable to be a political commissar, but a spy!" ”
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, and after she understood the meaning of my words, she couldn't help but giggle.
"There is a saying that if you want to learn to beat someone, you must first learn to be beaten!" The instructor held a mine in his hand, stood at a 'crossing' junction and said loudly to me: "This is almost the same thing with demining, if you want to learn how to clear mines, you must first learn how to lay mines." Only after laying mines by hand will you understand where the enemy likes to place the mines, and then you will be able to have a deeper understanding of the characteristics and structure of various mines, and lay a good foundation for your successful mine clearance in the future! ”
I have to admit that the instructor spoke really well today, and he also cooperated with the movements, so that it immediately attracted my attention.
"Because most of the landmines we have to face are US imperialism, we are mainly learning to use the landmines used by the US military!" The instructor raised the praise... Mines, said! "I'm hand-writing the most commonly used explosive soldier mine in the U.S. infantry, and my husband told you about its structure yesterday. Today we're going to learn how to use it. ”
As soon as I heard this, I was even more 'spirited'. Just kidding, this is related to the question of whether your head will move because of the wrong 'operation', can we not listen carefully?
"First of all, there's a safety pin on the pressure plate!" The instructor turned the position of the mine with the safety pin to us: "The function of this safety pin is to prevent the soldier from accidentally detonating the mine when he carries the mine during strenuous movement. The insurance must be removed before use. The pressure plate is engraved with two letters and, which represent the state of security and the state of battle, respectively. Turn the pressure plate, so that the arrow on it is aligned, the mine is in combat condition, bury it in the ground and camouflage! ”
As the instructor spoke, he showed us how to bury the mine in a pre-dug "hole" or "hole". Then sprinkled a layer of rich soil on it, and in a short time it was disguised as no different from other places.
After doing this, the instructor stood up and clapped his hands easily: "Once the mine is in combat condition, it will detonate as soon as the pressure reaches nine kilograms. Once you find yourself on a mine, be sure to stop in time. But that doesn't mean you can take your foot back. The mines are equipped with special disc springs that automatically push the firing pin onto the detonator as your footsteps retract, detonating the 'charge'! ”
At this time, I don't know who shouted: "Instructor, can you try to show us?" ”
With a coax, the students couldn't help laughing.
But I didn't expect the instructor to really step on the mine that had just been planted, which immediately frightened the students and stopped laughing.
"What's going on. It's nine kilograms of pressure! The instructor continued without changing his face: "Further down, this 'leg' is gone. At this time, you must not 'mess' around. First report the presence of mines, and then ask for help from nearby comrades. If you have the ability, you can try to stabilize your body and squat slowly. ”
As he spoke, the instructor kept his right foot still in an extremely difficult posture and slowly squatted down. Then he 'drawn' the dagger, 'inserted' it into the shoe, and slowly cut it horizontally, so that the students didn't dare to breathe even when they saw the atmosphere.
After a long while, the instructor finally put away his knife and added a few stones to the pressure plate, and then 'pulled' his foot out.
The students applauded one after another, who would have thought that at this time the instructor threw out a sentence that made everyone almost faint: "Today is all drill bombs, everyone can practice with confidence!" ”
Looking at the stunned students, the instructor smiled slightly and continued: "Although these mines used in the exercise will not explode, I hope that the students can carry forward the slightest 'spirit' and take it seriously, and do every step according to the requirements, so that they can become a demining expert on the battlefield in the future." Now divided into two groups, each group leader will lead the mines, lay mines on two roads respectively, and practice demining in each other's minefields after they are laid! ”
After I got the black mine, I felt a burst of 'hair' in my heart.
This thing is exactly the same as the mine I crushed on the battlefield before, are you sure this is a mine for exercise? In case someone accidentally 'messes' or 'messes' them,"
"Comrade Cui!" When I was stunned, Lin Xue walked up to me and said, "You must be very familiar with these mines of US imperialism when you come back from the battlefield!" Whether our group can win this time is up to you! ”
"What?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but turn my eyes to Li Pinghe, and Li Pinghe also smiled helplessly.
I really want to tell Lin Xue that we were tossed here because we can't clear mines! We are familiar with these mines, but I am frightened, and I still seem to have a minephobia.
But as soon as I saw Lin Xue's confident eyes on me, I couldn't say these words anymore. That's the sadness of man. was praised by the 'female' person. Or maybe so. That is, they are willing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire.
"Isn't it Bray? What's so hard about this! I nodded to Li Pinghe, immediately picked up a few mines and carried them on my back, picked up the shovel and walked towards the designated position.
"I say comrade!" At this time, Jiang Changshun stopped in front of us with those city soldiers: "How about we come to Bibi?" ”
"Good! What's the comparison? Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Didn't you say that survival of the fittest on the battlefield is life and death?" Jiang Changshun sneered: "Let's compare life and death!" ”
Saying that, Jiang Changshun pointed to the corner of the highway and said: "With this corner as the boundary, we are laying mines over there, and you are laying mines here, and no one can see anyone." And okay, thunder each other, see who can blow up whom? ”
"No problem!" I didn't want to, so I agreed to it. "But we're in the same group, so it's not good!" Lin Xue said on the side: "Our own people have lit up the mines, what else is the other group?" The instructor won't say yes either! ”
As soon as Lin Xue said this, everyone was silent.
"Otherwise!" I frowned and thought about it, and said to Jiang Changshun with a smile: "Otherwise, we will be able to blow up the instructor." ”
"What?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
