"Oh my god, it's really a landmine!" Engineer team leader Cheng Maoshan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the landmine that was carefully dug out.
Although they came to clear mines, no one was sure whether there were really mines. In fact, no one wanted to see this thing before seeing it.
But when he really saw it, Cheng Maoshan couldn't help but get excited.
This is so fucking scary!
The mine was not big, but they were all soldiers and knew how powerful such a small mine could be.
"Fortunately, we found it. It was buried on the way into the mountain. If we hadn't found it and conducted field training, who knows how many brothers would have been in trouble!" An engineer spoke up, feeling relieved.
"My wife went up the mountain to dig mushrooms a few days ago. This place is not accessible. What if they accidentally step on it?" Cheng Maoshan spoke again, feeling scared every time he thought about it.
The man who planted mines on the mountain is so vicious and terribly evil.
"Deputy Captain He, thanks to you for discovering the landmine here!" Cheng Maoshan turned his head and said sincerely.
As the captain of the engineering corps, he knew more than others and knew that the discovery of the landmine was related to He Beichen.
"Deputy Regimental Commander He is amazing! Fortunately he discovered it in time." The other three engineers also echoed.
"Actually, it wasn't me. Your sister-in-law found it when she came to pick mushrooms." He Beichen shook his head and said without taking any credit.
After they really dug out the landmine, He Beichen realized how serious the matter was. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt more grateful to Li Xin.
Fortunately, his young wife was smart enough to detect the landmines, and fortunately she did not step on them.
He Beichen looked down at the detector tied to his ankle and felt inexplicably at ease.
"My sister-in-law discovered it? My sister-in-law is really amazing. She is worthy of being Deputy Captain He's sister-in-law... No, wife!" Cheng Maoshan praised without thinking and almost made a fool of himself.
"Be careful, don't be too happy too soon. There may be more than one landmine, and there must be more nearby." He Beichen did not relax and reminded.
Li Xin told him that when a man walks a certain distance, he should bury a range of things, not just one.
"Maoshan, take your men and spread out in all directions along this area and search carefully." He Beichen looked at Cheng Maoshan and gave the order.
"yes!"
Cheng Maoshan agreed immediately. Although he looked naive, he was very serious about his work. He immediately assigned He Beichen's tasks and arranged the four of them very carefully, taking into account every inch of land around them.
There were only five of them in total, and the mountain was large, so they had to search carefully. Moreover, there was a mine buried somewhere, so they couldn't search quickly.
"There's one here!" someone shouted after searching for a long time.
It took a long time for the engineers to move over, re-determine the location of the mine, and completely dig it out.
When digging mines, you must be cautious and careful, and you cannot move quickly. After discovering a mine, you almost entirely have to use your hands to dig up the soil and carefully take the mine out.
There were five people on the mountain. They only ate one piece of bread they brought with them at noon. They searched until the evening, when the sun was about to set, and only stopped. They found three breads in total.
But there are probably more than three buried here, there may be others that have not been found.
"Take him back first. After the report is made, we will increase the manpower and come to investigate." He Beichen stopped and shouted to the people who were searching.
He has discovered that they are short of manpower and it will take the three of them at least several days to fully check the area.
Cheng Maoshan and his companions had no objection. They installed the mines and took them down the mountain with He Beichen.
It is impossible to see after dark, which makes mine clearance much more difficult and more dangerous. It is only suitable to come here to explore during the day.
A group of five people carried three mines, carefully went down the mountain, and immediately rushed to the troops.
"How is it?" Xia Wenqiang had been waiting at the entrance of the army early, and as soon as he saw He Beichen, he hurried forward to ask.
He Beichen nodded solemnly. It was not convenient to talk about it at the entrance of the army, so the group headed to a place where they could keep it a little more secret.
Cheng Maoshan and his men carried over the boxes containing the mines, which had shock-proof measures inside to protect the mines to the greatest extent possible and prevent them from exploding due to vibrations.
Inside the opened box, there were three mines neatly placed. Xia Wenqiang looked at them and his expression instantly became serious.
"Political Commissar, there are indeed landmines on the mountain. They are not buried deep enough. If you step on them accidentally, your bones will be blown to pieces." Cheng Maoshan said to Xia Wenqiang.
Xia Wenqiang was in a complicated mood. He couldn't imagine that if Li Xin hadn't discovered it and told He Beichen in time, these mines would never have been discovered!
By then, the casualties of the troops...
They can die on the battlefield, but dying from something like this is bound to be frustrating.
"You've married a good wife." Xia Wenqiang closed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
"There should be more on the mountain, but we don't have enough manpower and the search area is limited. Their mines are relatively far apart and there is no pattern, so we can only search slowly." He Beichen said.
A total of three mines were dug out. He Beichen carefully checked the locations of the three mines, but could not find any pattern.
"The area marked by Li Xin may need to be expanded to the surrounding areas and searched everywhere, just in case." He Beichen thought about it and added.
"Okay, I'll report it and send more people to clear mines on a large scale on the mountain." Xia Wenqiang nodded, knowing that this matter should not be underestimated.
"Send someone to capture the enemy spies first, otherwise sending more people will easily alert the enemy." He Beichen reminded.
Once the enemy spies realize something is wrong, they will definitely run away. When we try to catch them after the mine clearance is completed, they probably won’t know where they have gone.
"Right!" Xia Wenqiang thought for a moment and looked at He Beichen hesitantly. "Li Xin is the only enemy spy who saw the man. If they want to capture him, they need your wife to come over."
Given how nervous He Beichen was before, Xia Wenqiang wasn't sure if he would be willing to let Li Xin make another trip.
"I'm just here to help, not to interrogate you." He Beichen said, and it was obvious that he was still upset about letting Li Xin into the interrogation room that night.
"Of course it's not an interrogation. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't know about the enemy spies and landmines." Xia Wenqiang nodded and assured He Beichen.
That night was not an interrogation, they just borrowed the interrogation room, Xia Wenqiang said silently in his heart.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell her in the evening." He Beichen finally agreed. He had originally planned to ask Li Xin about the man's appearance when he got back in the evening.
"Okay, then you deal with the mines. I'll go write the report and submit it tonight." Xia Wenqiang patted his shoulder and hurried away.
