readx; The Soviet Union, Abakan, is a small town only about two hundred kilometers from the Mongolian border. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the fighting dragged on, this ordinary town had not been as calm as it had been for months.

Tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers were stationed here, both inside and outside the city, there were Soviet troops everywhere, positions everywhere.

All the houses were fortified and converted into defensive positions, and in addition to the outside of the first floor, dirt bags were also placed on the inside of the second floor.

After Army Group North enters the town, this will be the final battleground.

At this point, the Soviets had prepared all their defenses, although there was still some lack of ammunition, but it didn't matter, it didn't affect their zeal to defend their homeland.

No one wants to see their country occupied by other countries, just like when the Chinese people resisted, they will always do everything to resist the invaders, making it difficult for them to move forward.

It had just rained here, and the ground was starting to get muddy again, and the soldiers had to struggle to move.

Because the country is so big, many places are wasteland, so those areas are either forested or bare, and there is nothing.

Even in the midst of a war, the troops may not be able to see an enemy for a few days, and even those outside the army are rarely seen.

'Click! ’

Feng Dalei stepped on the muddy ground, because it was an abnormal attack, and it was not a normal march, so they could not go to their destination from the main road next to them.

Feng Dalei The forest they were in was very large, and the air force reconnaissance said that it was about ten kilometers long, and they had been walking here for more than an hour at this time.

At first, it was better, except for the road that was a little difficult to walk, the rest was quite smooth.

There were no obstacles laid by the enemy, and there were no snakes and insects.

But the further back they go, the more trouble they have. The Soviets may have considered that they might attack from here, so they preemptively planted tens of thousands of mines here before Army Group North had time to attack.

Originally, when marching, be more careful and pay more attention to the ground, so that although it is inevitable that you will sometimes be hit, you will have a much better chance of avoiding mines.

But a rain between spring and summer disrupted everything, the ground became muddy, the places where the Soviets had buried mines were washed away by the rain, and the leaves kept falling from the trees, although it was just summer, and the leaves were growing.

But here, in a place where there are no people, the leaves accumulated on the ground have a very thick depth, and the environment has changed everything in the forest, and I am afraid that even if the Soviet troops are allowed to enter this forest at this time, it is not clear where there are mines and where there are no mines.

Feeling the movement under his feet, and it was still that familiar feeling, Feng Dalei couldn't help but stop, breathing deeply, and there was no anxiety or fear on his face.

They are also accustomed to this situation, how to prevent mines, everyone knows, if you are lucky, this mine can be removed, if you are too unlucky, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Of course, there are two kinds of bad luck, one is that the quality of the mine is not good, and only one leg can be blown up, and the other is that the quality is too good, and the person who lifts the leg dies.

As a veteran who has been in the army for one year, Feng Dalei has participated in not a hundred battles but eighty times, and he has seen others step on mines more than ten times alone, and there are seven or eight people who survived intact, and only one of the remaining was killed, and the rest were all broken legs.

So at this time, Feng Dalei was not in a hurry at all, because he believed that his luck would not be so bad.

"What's wrong?"

A second lieutenant looked back at Feng Dalei and asked.

Originally, the troops were walking, but as soon as Feng Dalei stopped, the rest of the people also stopped, and after the second lieutenant noticed that something was wrong, he turned his head and asked.

"I stepped on a landmine."

Feng Dalei said calmly.

"Don't move!"

Hearing Feng Dalei's words, the second lieutenant hurriedly ordered the other soldiers not to move, so as not to step on the mines again.

The second lieutenant himself put his weapon aside, knelt in front of Feng Dalei on his knees, took out the bayonet he was carrying at his waist, aimed it at the area next to Feng Dalei's feet, and stabbed it gently.

After feeling that there was indeed an iron weapon underneath, the second lieutenant drew his bayonet and immediately went straight to digging, but fortunately it had just rained and the ground was relatively soft, so he started working with both hands, and it did not take much effort to remove the soil from the mine.

It's just that after seeing the mine below, the second lieutenant's face changed slightly, but his hands did not stop, but continued to dig down, because he didn't know if there was another mine under this mine.

Although I don't know the habit of the Soviet army to lay mines, anyway, they like to put two mines together one after the other when laying mines.

This is more lethal, and the enemy is also very difficult to dismantle, a little careless, a mine above or below will explode, if you are favored by this mine, then you don't need to seek help from your comrades, you can directly loosen your feet and commit suicide, because you have no chance of surviving at all.

'Whew! ’

The second lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief, and after digging up the entire mine, he did not find the shadow of other mines, so it was not difficult to save Feng Dalei intact.

Immediately afterwards, the second lieutenant untied Feng Dalei's shoelaces, making sure that his foot could be pulled out later, and at the same time pierced the sole of his shoe with his own bayonet, which was right in the middle of the mine, that is, where the fuse was.

There is only one way to deal with this kind of mine, either it is to detonate, but in this situation, it is obviously impossible to detonate, so it is bound to tell the Soviet army in advance that someone is coming.

"Go find a big rock."

After the bayonet penetrated the sole of Feng Dalei's shoe, the second lieutenant gently moved the bayonet, and after finding that he could not move, he gently pressed his hands on both ends of the bayonet, and at the same time commanded the soldiers beside him.

The method he planned to use now was to press the stone against the top of the shoe after Feng Dalei left, and use the weight of the stone to suppress the fuse to prevent it from bouncing and exploding. As for the bayonet and shoes, they can only stay here with this mine.

If there is no mine with a fuse, it is easy to dismantle, but this kind of mine that has been triggered is like a grenade that has released its grip, there is no other choice but to explode, of course, the only thing better than a grenade is that as long as you don't let go, even if you step on it for a hundred years, it will not explode.

"Platoon commander, there are no big rocks."

Soon, a soldier ran back with some helplessness, there were forests everywhere, where did he go to find a big rock? Isn't that going to kill him?

"Squad leader, take your people to a bayonet within about three meters on both sides to see if there are any mines, pay attention to safety."

Soon, the second lieutenant reacted, since there were no stones, he could only prepare for the worst.

"Second squad leader, go and bring those two logs over."

Immediately, the second lieutenant pointed to a thick log not far from him, and he didn't know how long it had been falling, let alone whether it had been worse, but something was better than nothing.

Soon, the first and second squad leaders had completed their tasks, and one of the squad leaders detected a mine not far away, but because the fuse had not been triggered, the mine was easily dismantled.

And the second squad leader and the others also walked over with great difficulty, it seems that it should not be light, at least heavier than Feng Dalei's weight, so it is naturally the best, and he doesn't have to worry about exploding after letting go.

"I shouted one, two, three, and then you pulled your foot out, understand?"

The second lieutenant glanced at Feng Dalei with a calm face, and secretly praised this guy in his heart.

Feng Dalei nodded, signaling that he understood that with the help of the second lieutenant, Feng Dalei was finally successfully rescued, and the next task was not easy at all. Although Feng Dalei was saved, he was now replaced by the second lieutenant platoon commander, and if he was not careful, the second lieutenant might be blown to pieces.

The effect of stepping on the mine with his foot is completely different from the effect of putting his chest on the mine, and when Feng Dalei left the mine, he became nervous, of course, he was nervous for the second lieutenant.

"Don't be stunned, put your hands on the dirt around your shoes."

Seeing Feng Dalei's appearance, the second lieutenant shook his head helplessly, he still had seen too little of the world, and his understanding of mines was too shallow.

Under the command of the second lieutenant, Feng Dalei soon buried his shoes and the second lieutenant's hands, and after seeing that everything was almost done, the second lieutenant began to ask the second squad leader to carry the wood over, and the other piece of wood was placed about two steps away from the second lieutenant.

Then he put it on according to the traces of Feng Dalei's burial in the soil before, and the second lieutenant platoon commander moved his hand gently, thinking that he could pull his hand out, so he asked the other soldiers to stay a little farther away.

Now only the last and most critical step remains. The wood was pressed against the mine, but the second lieutenant's hand was still straining, and it was only after his hand was gone that he would know if the wood had worked.

At this time, it is no longer a matter that can be solved by a large number of people, all he needs to do is to let people stand far away, so as not to hurt them by landmines, and to prevent them from getting in his way.

'Three! Two! One! ’

After counting three in his heart, the second lieutenant let go of his hand suddenly, quickly pulled his hand out, and then without looking back, he quickly ran towards the log behind him, only two steps away, and the second lieutenant was also well prepared.

It only took about two seconds for the lieutenant to flip over the log, covering his entire body behind the log.

At the same time, everyone had to hold their breath, no one wanted something to happen to their platoon commander at this time, no matter when, no one would think so.

Five seconds, ten seconds! The mine hadn't exploded yet, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the wood had done its job.

"Continue on the road, everyone use bayonets to find the way, don't go too scattered, line up in two rows. Everyone took turns. ”

When the danger was lifted, the second lieutenant stood up and commanded the soldiers, as if it had not happened to him what had happened to him. (To be continued.) )
