Chapter 726 Branch Minesweeper
A squad leader led the team to walk more than 100 meters, only two mines were discharged, it seems that the mines here are not very dense, plus this is an old minefield, the style of the mines is very old, it is convenient to line up, and the group is not in danger.
At this time, the first squad leader was sweating profusely, and when Meng Chuan saw this, he immediately said: "The first squad leader is resting, and I will lead the team to clear mines." ”
The first squad leader is not reckless, this kind of environment is by no means the time to be strong, but he still explained, "Captain Meng, although it is an old mine here, you still have to pay attention to the lineup, some mine fuses may have problems, so when you put stones, don't put them on the fuse." ”
Because the fuse of our anti-infantry mine depends on a certain pressure to complete the explosion, so putting a small stone chip will not trigger the fuse, so that some people like to put a small stone chip above the mine to remind the people behind not to step on it, just like the 72 anti-infantry mine jump mine just now, that is, the pressure must be greater than nine kilograms to detonate, if the pressure is less than nine kilograms, the fuse will not be triggered.
But old mines, corroded by rain and concrete, fuses are far less strong than they used to be, and they may go wrong with a slight touch.
However, Meng Chuan has received special training, and he has never had the habit of putting small stone chips on mines, because the current advanced anti-infantry mines have no pressure, and they will explode when they encounter them.
Although there are very few minefields now, it does not mean that there are no new types of anti-infantry mines in the minefields, so Meng Chuan will be very careful, "Don't worry, I know." ”
In addition to the pressure-triggered mines, there are also lead triggers in the minefield here, which are basically the same thing. For old-fashioned mines, there is no infrared-triggered, electrically triggered, and even if there is, if they are left for so long, these fuse devices have long been out of order.
Moreover, only poor countries use mines for defense, and countries with real strength will not bury mines in the ground, after all, mines do not have long eyes, and sometimes it can be said that they will injure the enemy by 1,000 and damage 800, because mines are placed in the territory of their own countries, and if their own people step on them, it will basically be a dead end.
Therefore, many advanced mines will not appear in such countries.
The lead fuse is easier to identify, after all, a thin wire, as long as you look carefully, it is easy to see, as for the mine buried in the ground, it can not be a little bit of a void, you can only poke it slowly little by little.
The speed of the E Army's special forces is obviously faster than Meng Chuan's side, after all, they are all veterans, and although Meng Chuan's side is also a veteran, they are still not as good as the E Army's maroon beret special forces in all aspects.
However, the matter of mine clearance can only be sought for stability, not speed, and human lives can only be cautious in matters concerning heaven.
Fortunately, the three old squad leaders in the team are also veterans who have been working for ten years, and everyone has a lot of experience in mine clearance.
At this time, when he came to a low-lying terrain, Meng Chuan stopped, prepared to turn a corner, and went around one or two hundred meters more, and the first squad leader also understood what Meng Chuan meant, but still said: "Captain Meng, don't go around, I can estimate through the time when these mines are placed, these mines should have been placed for more than ten years, the terrain here is low-lying, easy to be soaked by rain, and the mine fuse should have been damaged, so we don't have to worry too much." ”
The life of landmines is really uncertain, some minefields may only exist for a few years, but some minefields may exist for decades, no joke, take those minefields laid out on the Sino-Vietnamese border in the 80s as an example, who dares to be sure that all the mines there are damaged?
And if it's all damaged? Then what are you sending minesweepers to do?
Landmines with intervals of thirty or forty years can basically be said to have been damaged, but as long as one of the 100 mines has not been damaged, it is still necessary to sweep slowly according to the 100 mines.
After all, human life cannot be entrusted to luck.
Meng Chuan is afraid that in this depression, there are some mines with particularly fragile fuses, and if you don't pay attention to it and cause an explosion, the loss will be really big.
At this time, the people in the director's department were also talking, and a lieutenant colonel said: "This captain is still a bit far-sighted, the depression itself is a place where rain is easy to gather, and the fuse of the mine may be fragile to the limit, so it is a wise choice to bypass it a little." ”
One of the colonels retorted: "It's still too young, why should they go to the minefield, isn't it just to buy time, to get to the M9 area before the E Army." If it is said that bypassing this place will inevitably let the special forces of the E Army behind him surpass, then the significance of the Chinese soldiers in the minefield is not great. ”
That's right, but life is always the most important, and being able to enter a minefield is itself a manifestation of courage, but courage does not mean recklessness, especially commanders, must not act rashly, after all, only by living, can there be hope.
The words of the two are reasonable, and the mentality of Meng Chuan and the first squad leader at this time is also like this, Meng Chuan, as a commander, is reluctant to let the comrades-in-arms who accompanied him into the minefield have an accident.
But the first squad leader thought, since we are all in the minefield, we must make achievements, otherwise we will follow you to the minefield to do something.
Although the words of the first squad leader do not represent the other five fighters, they are indeed the main thoughts of most fighters.
We follow you to the minefield, mainly so that after the mission is over, you can get a reward, if you say that because of Rao Keng and is surpassed by the E army, the meaning of the minefield will not exist, and the reward for turning back may really only be a meal at night.
In fact, whether it is in an exercise or a war, it is the same, only the winner has the right to speak, no one will care what you pass by, if we can't reach the M9 area first, then everything we have done before will be in vain.
Meng Chuan saw that everyone's opinions were unanimous, and he was ready to let go, it was true, no one would remember who the second place was, if he couldn't reach the M9 area first, then everything would be meaningless.
At this time, Meng Chuan's mind suddenly thought of a way to clear mines, which is to shoot the ground with branches, ordinary minefields, it is useless for you to use this method, because the power of the branches is too small to touch the mine fuse, but in this kind of place, it will be extremely suitable.
"Quick, let's find thicker branches."
These squad leaders are also experienced, as soon as they heard the branch, they knew what Meng Chuan meant, so they immediately aimed at the big tree next to it, and a squad leader looked at this branch that was three or four meters thick at the wrist, and hurriedly said: "Come on, this branch is suitable, let's pull this branch down." ”
PS: I recommend a friend's book, "My 1979", written by Lao Yao, which is quite suitable for Lao Bai to read.
