Special Years

Before coming here to learn EOD and demining, Zhuang Yan never imagined that there would be so much hard work behind a small mine.

For the first week, all the members of the "Hunter" team lay on the ground every day to train for Venus Lightning Rod Detector according to "Boss" Luo Xing's arrangement.

Some people say that demining is a job of embroidery.

This point made Zhuang Yan deeply understand.

Luo Xing's requirement is that he can rely on the lightning probe to be inserted into the soil, and he can accurately judge the lightning species by hand.

So, Zhuang Yan and other comrades in arms started the monotonous and boring training on the use of lightning rods—about 12,000 needles should be attached to a 10-square-meter practice field. Every day, everyone must complete 20 to 30 square training tasks, and a total of 25,000 to 30,000 stitches must be tied.

A week later, the solemn fingers had another layer of calluses on the original calluses, and the finger joints were aching.

Training and demining life here is boring.

Due to the regulations not to run around, everyone basically did not go out in the camp.

Every day in training, watching the soldiers of other demining teams board the car early in the morning with all kinds of equipment and blasting materials, Zhuang Yan always has some complicated ideas.

He is eager to go to the minefield to try his training results in person, but he is also a little worried about whether he can do it.

Although he is now a soldier of a special brigade, what kind of needlework and training have you not seen?

But this time is different, mine clearance is not an ordinary task, it is a life-threatening task, and mistakes are absolutely not allowed.

But he also envied those deminers. They were serious guys who went to dismantle the real ones. When he compared with others, he was half a head shorter immediately.

The most solemn and admirable thing is that these demining sappers never seem to have a bitter face. They are optimistic and have a relaxed expression. Every day it seems that they are not going to the minefield, but it is as simple as a small camping training. .

Zhuang Yan had to sigh with emotion, it seems that being a demining soldier must be optimistic by nature, otherwise, he really can't bear the pressure.

Later, during the training interval, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but ask "Boss" Luo Xing, are you afraid?

Luo Xing said: "People are afraid of death. No one is born a hero, but this is what we sappers do. It's useless to be afraid. When I first went to the minefield, the platoon leader directed the last shot. The ignition station was behind a big rock, and there was no place to sit. Both I and I were squatting. After squatting for a long time, I couldn’t squat, and my right foot felt numb. At that time, I wanted to change my left foot. I moved less than ten centimeters back to the left, and I felt my left foot sink, and then I heard a soft pop..."

"The place where the mine was buried has a characteristic, the soil will be softer than the edge. I was trained, and my mind immediately went blank. After thinking about it, I stepped on the mine... Do you know how scared I was at that time? I The soul is about to come out. You know, what was the first thing I did?"

"Why?" Luo Xing's story completely aroused solemn interest and hurriedly asked.

Luo Xing flattened his mouth and said, "The first thing I did was to reach out and touch my left foot to see if the sole of the foot was still there, to see if I felt blood. And people don't have any special pain, so they must have stepped on an anti-infantry mine. Many people only know that their soles are gone after they look down."

Zhuang Yan's mouth became O-shaped and couldn't close.

So he asked: "Squad leader, you haven't broken your leg now, did you not step on the thunder and give a false alarm?"

"Of course not. What I stepped on was a 72-type anti-infantry mine that was just like a fake." Luo Xing said.

"Ah?" Zhuang Yan looked suspicious and couldn't help but glanced at Luo Xing's left foot again.

The left foot is fine, no problem.

Luo Xing said: "I'm lucky, when I looked down, there was smoke under my feet, white smoke came out of the soil, I stepped on the fuse, and the explosives exploded, but it was just the high level in the mine's body. The explosives are ineffective, otherwise…”

Speaking of this, he actually laughed.

"Otherwise I would be a one-legged hero now."

It took Zhuang Yan a long time to recover.

This is really life-threatening!

"I watch the people in your demining team go out every day, and they all look relaxed. Are all of your demining teams really not afraid?"

"Of course some people are afraid. When we first started to form a mine-sweeping team last year, there was a guy in our company. Well, I don't want to mention his name. I heard that I was going to mine mine-sweeping, but he refused to come. He rolled on the ground and asked to go home. He really escaped. The troops went to his hometown to do ideological work, but he still refused. He would rather go to the military court than go to the minefield. However, our demining team of 120 people came up with such a cowardice thing. , everyone else is a hero!"

After speaking, Luo Xing smacked his lips and said, "Actually speaking of fear...is it useful to be afraid? If I am afraid of going to the minefield, I will cry my father and call my mother every day before I go to the minefield and go again. In fact, mine clearance is a matter of The more you hurt, the more accidents will happen... The more you are afraid, the more nervous you are, and the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. In the minefield, a little mistake will cost you blood..."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Besides, mine clearance is meaningful!"

"Do you know what makes us happiest and proudest as deminers?" He stared at the solemn and asked, ""

said solemnly, "A landmine was successfully cleared?"

"It's true, it's not true." Luo Xing said, "Last year, we cleared two minefields in the neighboring county, and after delivering them to the local government, we re-cultivated vegetables there. The villagers can go to collect firewood and do business. Farmhouse, the income has increased a lot. Every time I pass there, I have to go to see it, and then tell myself that I have participated in demining this minefield. Here, there is my contribution, so I will feel that what I have done is special. Makes sense, I think..."

The same solemnly asked Zhuang Yan: "Is this matter meaningful?"

Zhuang Yan nodded quickly: "Well, of course! It's very meaningful!"

Luo Xing laughed when he heard it, as if the solemn must have a military medal on his chest.

Although Luo Xing spoke lightly about mine clearance, he didn't seem to care.

Although Zhuang Yan saw the number 100 of the first demining team smiling all day long.

But Zhuang Yan soon discovered that the soldiers of the demining team were not really under no pressure at all.

That night, after the solemn lay down, he suddenly heard someone talking in a low voice outside the tent.

Majestic and curious, he got up, walked to the tent, lifted the curtain and opened a gap to look out.

I saw two shadows talking at the shed near the cooking class in the dark camp. After a while, another shadow came out of the temporary bamboo shed where the cooking class was cooking and seemed to be holding something. Something, the three of them whispered a few more words.

"It's done?"

"It's done, braised large intestines, delicious."

"Where's the beer?"

"In the bucket. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

"Let's go."

A few shadows looked left and right, and walked out of the camp lightly.

In the middle of the night, braised large intestines in oil?

These gangsters are secretly adding vegetables?

Zhuang Yan couldn't bear it any longer, his stomach suddenly growled.

He put on a camouflage shirt and quietly followed.
