Chapter 10

Mine was surprised to meet and greet everyone, and everyone was shocked for a moment.

At the moment, Comrade Ma Xiaodong, who was originally calm and calm, had a rare panic in his eyes. He remembered that he was stepping on a mine that was enough to kill himself on the spot. His heart beat faster and his cold sweat burst out. The almost desperate fear in his heart was useless to restrain anyway.

This is far more frightening than a sword of Damocles hanging from your head.

"Don't be afraid! I'm here!" The voice of monitor Wei Jiangong sounded again.

This comforting voice makes people feel secure. At this time, Ma Xiaodong really felt the importance of monitor Wei. He was the backbone of the whole outpost and the brother relied on by all his comrades in arms at the outpost. Although I have been a soldier for eight years, I haven't learned anything except bragging and bullying.

Wei Jiangong leaned down and carefully dug the soil around the mine with both hands. His head was almost close to the ground and was very close to the mine. There was no need to say the degree of danger.

"Squad leader! It's too dangerous to clear the mine. Go! Leave me alone!" Ma Xiaodong almost begged the monitor to leave. He didn't want to implicate the monitor because of himself. Anyway, I'm just a bachelor. It doesn't matter if I'm honored.

But unlike the monitor, he has a family and a lovely daughter who has been born for nearly a year but has not met yet.

"What nonsense! Stop and don't fucking disturb me!" Wei Jiangong didn't lift his head. He continued to do what he should do. He had already started demining.

Before demining, let's talk about what a mine is.

There are many kinds of mines in the world. Almost every mine integrates the thinking and wisdom of mine makers and mine buriers. However, mines, no matter how strange and changing, are composed of explosives and detonators.

Explosives are dead, but detonators can change in endlessly. However, there are only three kinds of commonly used detonators: trigger, pressing and tripping.

The mine Ma Xiaodong trampled on belongs to the pressed mine. After stepping on it, a spring in the mine is compressed due to gravity. If the trample continues to move forward without consciousness, the compressed spring will rebound after the gravity acting on the mine disappears, so that the contact will contact, the detonating device will start, and the mine will explode immediately without suspense.

The squad leader Wei Jiangong smiled. What he had to do was to remove the mine. What he had to do was to keep the detonating device of the mine in a dormant state without being activated before people evacuated safely.

However, demining is a very dangerous and rigorous technical work, which can not be imitated by non professionals.

If all the dangerous occupations in the world are ranked once, demining will surely be among the best. Just imagine that even if the deminers succeed in demining hundreds and thousands of times, as long as they miss once, everything will be over, because life is only once for anyone. This is not a game. If you hang up, you can start again.

In the words of deminers themselves, demining requires boldness of heart and fear of death.

Deminers first need courage. That's for sure. Think carefully and play with a mine that can destroy themselves at any time. If they are not brave enough, they should have been scared to pee their pants and tremble their hands and feet. How can they talk about demining?

Secondly, it is necessary to be careful, because every mine is different. If you are not careful, how to clarify your ideas and understand the situation. Moreover, there are many people who bury mines. In order to confuse the mine disposal people, they often install other gadgets on the mines. If you are not careful, you will undoubtedly die.

As for the fear of death, it's a bit ridiculous, because there are no people in the world who are really afraid of death. However, why do so many revolutionary martyrs and people's Heroes dare to shed their blood and sacrifice one after another? In official terms, it means having faith in your heart and showing fearless revolutionary heroism.

At least, Wei Jiangong has these three items for the time being.

However, the problem is that demining still needs the most basic tools. The soldiers on this patrol only carry an Bayi rifle, a bullet bag on their chest, and only a live ammunition clip. There are only ten bullets in the clip. There's nothing else. Even the Bayi rifles carried by the soldiers of this patrol were not equipped with guns.

So, what is used for demining?

Fortunately, this problem did not embarrass Wei Jiangong. This veteran who has been a soldier for a whole decade is very familiar with all the equipment in his hand and can skillfully use it all.

But when he stepped back slightly, he snapped and pulled the disassembly button behind the gun bore, which disassembled the Bayi rifle in a few seconds. He drew a thin iron pillar the size of a ballpoint pen core from the air duct of the Bayi rifle, and used it as the only demining tool.

The black round box shaped mine has a small hole the size of chopsticks on its side, which was originally the jack of the safety pin. In order to prevent mines from exploding during storage and transportation, mine makers have inserted safety pins into each mine. The safety pins will not be removed until the mines are buried.

What Wei Jiangong needs to do at the moment is to insert this thin iron column from the fine hole to replace the safety pin, so as to prevent the detonator from starting. It's a very technical job, but with a little difference, it's over.

When Wei Jiangong was sweating and carefully inserted the thin iron column into the hole, the mine shook slightly. Wei Jiangong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now you turn around slowly, and then gently move your right leg. The action should be small and slow." Wei Jiangong raised his head slightly and said to Ma Xiaodong.

"Squad leader, you withdraw first and I will withdraw again. You are here. I don't trust you. Ten thousand one..." Ma Xiaodong said nervously. He wanted to say what to do if the mine exploded, but he couldn't say it.

"What nonsense! Now I don't have time to argue with you and talk nonsense. Hurry up, slow down and move lightly." Wei Jiangong tightened his tone.

Cheng Chong and veteran Liu climbed not far away. The scene in front of them was real. They couldn't help but pinch a sweat.

"Well... Well, monitor, you must be careful. As soon as I withdraw, you will withdraw immediately." Ma Xiaodong's face is extremely ugly at the moment. He made this decision extremely hard. He didn't want to implicate the monitor, but he didn't want to stand off with them in this dangerous area.

According to Wei Jiangong's words, Ma Xiaodong gently moved his right leg. At the moment when his right leg left the mine, Wei Jiangong shouted, "lie down -"

When Ma Xiaodong heard the cry, he didn't care about anything. He turned around and rushed straight at Wei Jiangong, pressing Wei Jiangong under him.

What are comrades in arms? What is a brother? What is paoze? What is deep friendship? This is it.

But the mine didn't explode immediately as expected. It still stayed in place quietly, and even didn't make a sound.

All of them were relieved, and the stone hanging in their heart finally landed safely. Cheng Chong and veteran Liu stood up in a big way and approached the monitor as if nothing had happened.
