That night, the entire engineer battalion did not sleep well except for Meng Chuan.

When Meng Chuan got up in the morning, the communicator Xiaohu reported to himself, "Instructor Wang and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang only turned off the lights to rest at three o'clock in the morning, and most of the soldiers only rested between two and four o'clock in the morning. ”

Meng Chuan looked at Xiao Hu's eyes flushed, and in order to report this news to himself, his favorability came up, "Xiao Hu, take a hot towel and compress your eyes first, and then go back to bed and sleep for a while." ”

Xiao Hu took the towel, but didn't put it on his eyes, "Battalion commander, I know your character, because of this, as your communicator, I can't be specialized, I can't make it difficult for you." I'll just apply it to my eyes for five minutes, and then I'll have morning exercises right away. ”

Meng Chuan waved his hand, "It's okay, sleep in peace, I'm going to give the soldiers a morning vacation so that they can sleep well." ”

Meng Chuan is strict in leading the troops, but Meng Chuan thinks that he really didn't abuse them, whether it is nutrition or rest time, he definitely gives enough to the soldiers.

This time, the soldiers stayed up all night, Xiaohu had already told himself, then he could not let the soldiers go to mine clearance under the condition of extremely insufficient spirit, if it was because of mental reasons, the soldiers accidentally stepped on the mine and exploded, then the dereliction of duty was really themselves, and their hearts would be extremely uneasy.

Moreover, I trained the fighters strictly for a month, and took a morning off to give them a good rest, which can be regarded as a combination of work and rest.

As soon as Xiao Hu heard that he was resting in the morning, he was about to jump up with joy, this month's inhuman training, he also suffered a lot with the battalion commander, and he wanted to sleep well and relax, "Thank you, battalion commander, then I'll go and rest." ”

Meng Chuan waved his hand, "Okay, you can rest quickly." ”

After Xiaohu left, Meng Chuan came to the radio room and informed the soldiers of the whole battalion of the news of the morning holiday.

The soldiers couldn't get up, after all, they slept for two or three hours, and their spirits really couldn't be replenished, if they hadn't thought of Meng Chuan's demon, maybe they were standing outside the door with a gun in their left hand and a mine in their right hand, it would really kill them, and they wouldn't have thought about it.

However, as soon as the soldiers got up and had not yet finished their internal affairs, Meng Chuan's radio came out.

When the soldiers heard Meng Chuan say that they would rest for the morning, they immediately collapsed back to the bed comfortably, and their mouths were still muttering, "Comfortable, God has finally opened his eyes, let the conscience of this demon battalion commander find out, and let him finally be willing to let us take a morning off." ”

The squad leader listened to what the soldiers below said, and he didn't bother to care about what the soldiers said about Meng Chuan, "Okay, let's make up for sleep quickly, sleep all morning, and clear mines in the afternoon, that's a real mine, if you don't clear it well, you will end up with broken arms and legs." ”

The soldiers of the engineer battalion cannot wear explosion-proof clothing during large-scale demining, first of all, there are not so many explosion-proof clothing, and secondly, if you wear explosion-proof clothing, the speed of demining not only slows down, not to mention, the difficulty of demining has also increased many times, so the sapper demining is without protective gear, and if the mine explodes, the arms and legs may really fly.

However, even if it is to clear mines in the afternoon, it can't stop the soldiers from sleeping now, if they are killed, even if they can't be rated as martyrs, they can be regarded as dying in the line of duty, and the family will be compensated at that time, so let's sleep first.

After a morning's rest, the soldiers' spirits have also eased up, they are very sober and they are not as indifferent as when they first got up in the morning and are not awake, they have now deeply realized what they are going to do, that is, to clear real mines, so they are all nervous.

Meng Chuan looked at the faces of the soldiers who were all quite energetic, and nodded, "I won't say much nonsense, target minefield, go." ”

The soldiers soon came to the minefield, Meng Chuan pointed to the mountain, "Lao Zhang, take the troops to clear the mines, the goal this afternoon is to clear the mines in the mountains, after emptying, the soldiers will wade through this area arm in arm, understand?" ”

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, battalion commander." ”

The soldiers were taken over by Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, but Meng Chuan always felt that something was missing from this minefield, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally thought of it, and it turned out that there was a trace of gunpowder smoke missing.

"Guard platoon, go find the ordnance officer who is taking half a box of mines, release it and listen to the sound."

The guard platoon commander didn't know what kind of strange psychology Meng Chuan was, but he couldn't disobey the order, so he took two soldiers and ran over as soon as he slipped away, and soon came back with half a box of mines.

At this time, the fighters were clearing the mines very smoothly, because the mines were not buried in the soil, they were all placed on the ground, as long as they first observed, whether they were traps or not, whether there were tripwires, if not, they could completely take it out with their hands, and then take out the minefield.

The soldiers were really scared at first, because they thought that these were all mines that had been pulled out and could explode at any time.

But there were quite a few veterans of the engineer battalion, and they did a good job of demonstrating and taking the lead, and after observing that there was no problem, they directly picked up the mines with their hands and moved them to a safe place.

When the soldiers saw how simple it was to clear real mines, they all learned how to do it, carefully picked up the mines, and then moved them to a safe place.

Meng Chuan saw that the soldiers were doing a good job, and wanted to make it a little more difficult for them, so he picked up a mine from the box, pulled out the safe, and threw it out where there was no one.

Seeing this, Meng Chuan immediately took out his pistol and fired a shot at the mine, and with a "bong" sound, the mine was directly exploded, and the sound of explosions and the smell of gunpowder spread all over the minefield in an instant.

The soldiers were all stunned when they heard the sound of the mine exploding, and for a moment, their hearts were raised, whether any soldier accidentally stepped on the mine.

But why didn't you hear the shouting?

Is this a broken arm or a broken leg?

It's not going to be a direct blow-up.

But didn't the battalion commander say that this mine can't kill people?

The soldiers, who had extremely complicated feelings, plucked up the courage to take a look at the explosion point, and when they saw that it was an explosion in an open area, the hearts that mentioned the throat immediately went back, and the soldiers all spit out turbid breath and scolded in their hearts: "This demon battalion commander always does such scary things. ”

After the stubble that Meng Chuan had just made, the soldiers suddenly became nervous in their hearts, I don't know if it was because of the smell of gunpowder or because they were holding the safety mines that had been removed, the soldiers always felt that it was dangerous.

After Meng Chuan smelled the smell of gunsmoke, he suddenly became excited, "With the smell of gunsmoke, is this more suitable for the battlefield?" ”
