Section VII
Zheng Haiguo was relieved when he saw Qin Yongsheng's expression, and knew that the crux of the problem had been found, so he put down the heart he had lifted. He patted Qin Yongsheng's shoulder www.biquge.info pen "Fun" and said with a smile: "I know that these children in the mountains are not difficult for you, a baby who grew up in the mountains, so let's talk about it for everyone, so that we can also have a long experience." ”
"I've never seen this happen, and I can't say for sure."
"People in the mountains, look at the mountains, how can you not see them?"
"There are too many mysteries in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are some things that even the old mountain people may not be sure of. All right! I'll just tell you what I know, and you can refer to it. Qin Yongsheng pointed to the surrounding bamboo leaves, "This is what I said about the sky, there is a kind of poisonous snake called 'Qingzhu Biao' hidden in this bamboo leaf, there are quite a few of them, which explains why these bandits are bitten by snakes on their heads and necks." Qin Yongsheng pointed to the broken bamboos again, "The snakes and scorpions on the ground are hidden there, so the injuries on the feet can be explained, as for the injuries on the head and feet, that is, these people first encountered the snakes on the bamboo, ran out and stepped on the snakes on the ground, and so many people died, which shows that there are unimaginable huge numbers of snakes here, not only on the ground, but also on the bamboo." ”
"Mom too!" Hearing this, everyone's scalp was numb, and they unconsciously took a few steps back and closed in to the middle. On weekdays, it's scary to see a snake, let alone so many snakes? The comrades clutched the guns in their hands tightly and watched everything around them nervously, for fear that snakes and scorpions would emerge from their feet if they were not careful.
Zheng Haiguo deeply felt that this matter was related to the life and death of the officers and soldiers, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, so he worked with the first company commander, Xiao Wu, Qin Yongsheng and others to study the strategy of dealing with poisonous snakes.
As for how to deal with these terrifying "guys", others couldn't come up with any good methods, and after some debate, Zheng Haiguo felt that it was better to listen to the "expert opinions". He set his gaze on Qin Yongsheng again, "Xiao Qina! Although we are all cadres, we have no experience in dealing with snakes, and we don't count what we say, it's all up to you, an expert. From now on, I will hand over the lives of my comrades to you, and the entire army will be under your command. Zheng Haiguo's eyes were full of trust.
"Battalion commander! I'm afraid I can't do it well! What if ...... "Qin Yongsheng is a soldier after all, so many chiefs and comrades-in-arms have their lives in his hands, if you don't do it, won't you become a sinner through the ages?" Qin Yongsheng couldn't help but feel tremendous pressure.
Zheng Haiguo saw Qin Yongsheng's thoughts and encouraged him: "Xiao Qin, don't be afraid! Although you command, it has nothing to do with you if something happens, I am solely responsible, so you can do it boldly! ”
"Yes! Eternal life, we all trust you, you can lead everyone to do it. Xiao Wudao.
"Yes! Xiao Qin, listening to the command of an expert like you is better than us people blindly commanding, right? Whatever you say, we'll do. The company commander also encouraged.
Qin Yongsheng looked at the expectant eyes of his comrades, and finally mustered up his courage and said, "Since the chief and comrades trust me so much, then I'll give it a try?" Qin Yongsheng finally agreed.
Zheng Haiguo patted Qin Yongsheng's shoulder and said, "That's right!" So let's get started! ”
Qin Yongsheng has matured a lot since he became the head of swimming training in the guard company that time.
"Comrades! This poisonous snake also has something to be afraid of, and this time we have made preparations for going down to the Yama Valley. You don't know, right? The flamethrower and sulfur we brought this time are specially used to deal with poisonous snakes, snakes are the most afraid of fire and sulfur, with these two things, as long as we use them properly, we can cross this 'death bamboo forest'. ”
Hearing Qin Yongsheng say this, everyone remembered the use of the sulfur they carried, when they first gave each person a small packet of things, they thought it was a kind of anti-mosquito bite or something like that, and thought that the flamethrower was used to eliminate the enemy's firepower, but they didn't expect it to be used to deal with poisonous snakes.
"Leader! Since we have flamethrowers in our hands, why don't we burn all these snakes with a single fire? A soldier with a flamethrower asked, puzzled, and some of the fighters felt that the soldier had a point.
"Comrades! Don't use flamethrowers here, set the bamboo on fire, don't bite us with snakes, we will all be burned to death by the fire we have lit. Qin Yongsheng's face changed greatly.
Zheng Haiguo saw that there were bamboos all around, if they were lit, none of them would be able to escape, so he couldn't help but gasp, and hurriedly ordered: "You two with flamethrowers, follow me, no one is allowed to use flamethrowers without my orders." ”
"Yes!" The two fighters who carried the flamethrower originally regarded the flamethrower as an ordinary combat weapon, but now they became a "hot potato", and the hand holding the gun was far away from the trigger, for fear that if they accidentally touched it, it would cause a catastrophe.
Next, Qin Yongsheng told his comrades, took out a little sulfur, wiped it on his hands and shoes, and demonstrated while talking, and then told everyone not to touch the piles of dead bamboo and walk around. After the explanation, I took everyone to the bamboo forest that I was going to pass through.
This bamboo forest is the bamboo forest where the Vipers fought the bandits before. Faced with a bamboo forest with a large number of "green bamboo biao", how should Qin Yongsheng respond? Wait a while, the troops will make a move, how will Qin Yongsheng deal with the large number of snakes and scorpions that come out of the fragments of dead bamboo? Will there be a repeat of the previous fiascos of the bandits?
The troops bypassed the dead bamboo fragments on the ground and came to the clearing in front of the bamboo forest that they had to pass through. Qin Yongsheng first asked people to dig out an isolation belt about one meter wide between the open space and the dead bamboo fragments along the middle, and the dead bamboo leaves were stacked in the center of the isolation belt, and some sulfur powder was sprinkled on it, and in a place very close to the bamboo forest, a few piles of dead bamboo, residual leaves, and dry grass were piled up, and some raw bamboo was cut and thrown inside, and a lot of sulfur was sprinkled on it, and then, with the mosquito net cloth carried, cut into a ball with a dagger, stuffed into the bamboo tube, sprinkled with some gun oil and sulfur, and made torches containing sulfur, I also made a few large brooms from bamboo branches.
After everything was ready, Qin Yongsheng set the pile of bamboo leaves on fire. Withered bamboo, residual leaves, and hay ignited the green bamboo, which had a lot of moisture on it, and puffs of yellow and black smoke rose, filling the air with the smell of sulfur.
"Use a broom to drive the smoke into the bamboo forest!" Qin Yongsheng shouted. Several fighters with brooms in their hands kept waving their "fans" to fan the smoke from the fire into the bamboo forest.
The smoke continued to spread in the bamboo forest, and the concentration became higher and higher. In the originally peaceful bamboo forest, there was a sound like beating bamboo. As far as the eye can see, the whole bamboo forest is in a commotion, feeling that there are a large number of objects "jumping", bamboo leaves are faintly visible in the smoke, like waves, wave after wave to the direction of no smoke "spread", after a while, the "fluctuation" of the smoke part is getting smaller and smaller, and the "fluctuation" in the distance is getting bigger and bigger, and finally, everything is calm again.
Before the comrades could react to what was going on, more than a dozen small snakes with green bodies had already flown out of the bamboo forest close to the soldiers, holding their heads high, twisting their bodies, and quickly "swimming" to this side. Qin Yongsheng didn't say a word, grabbed the broom, rushed forward, waved the broom in his hand, and swept those terrifying green little snakes in another direction, and several other warriors followed suit and drove the snakes away with the broom in their hands.
