Xia Zhiguo said: "It's dark now and the light is not good. Even if you wear night vision goggles and go out to defuse bombs, it will be much more difficult than during the day. I think it's better to save it and go out to defuse it tomorrow."
Shen Jun said: "The problem now is that the mortar shells found and a tail pipe whose condition is not clear yet, he can't see the front side of the tail pipe. If there is a projectile, it is a dangerous explosive, not to mention
Yes, these bombs don’t look like new ones, but rather old ones. I don’t know where they came from. The structure of the projectiles is probably very unstable. If they are not eliminated now, if they explode midway, the damage may be huge.
Not small."
Xia Zhiguo thought for a while and said, "I think it's better to surround it tomorrow with sandbags. If it explodes, it will destroy a section of the barbed wire. It's better than risking the lives of soldiers."
Seeing that Xia Zhiguo had made a decision, Shen Jun immediately notified Fan Ping via radio and asked him to withdraw first.
Fan Ping quickly returned to the barracks. When he saw Shen Jun, he shouted: "Platoon leader, I will go around now and I can eliminate it soon. I think it is a waste bomb and I need to use TNT to detonate the explosive inside."
Shen Jun said: "Then if you go and demolish it tomorrow, will there be any difference?"
Fan Ping said, "But what if this thing explodes in the middle of the night?"
Shen Jun said: "If it explodes, it will explode. It will only destroy a section of barbed wire. If you go out to demolish it now and the thing explodes at night, you will be gone. My soldiers are very valuable! Get out of here and go back to sleep. I will let you go tomorrow morning."
The engineer brothers use machines to platoon, but you don't have to go into battle manually."
Fan Ping had nothing to say.
There is no use trying to be brave, safety is the first criterion in everything.
After Fan Ping left, Shen Jun remembered something and asked Xia Zhiguo: "Commander, do you think the kid brought these explosives here and buried them or were they originally there?"
Xia Zhiguo said: "The engineers from the engineering unit lined up around the camp before, and there was a lot of queues. But if you said they were completely lined up, I don't dare to vouch for it. Because time was tight at the time, I thought about lining up carefully in the courtyard.
We did a rough sweep outside the hospital, and there might still be some residue. At that time, Li Moran from the engineering unit told me that there was still a certain danger outside, so he put up a warning sign."
Shen Jun said: "If that's the case, then I think we need to arrange it carefully tomorrow to avoid something like this happening tonight."
Xia Zhiguo asked curiously: "If the explosive was originally there, then why did this kid come here? What does he want to do?"
What to do?
Shen Jun couldn't answer right away.
In fact, not only commander Xia Zhiguo and rapid reaction platoon leader Shen Jun couldn't find an answer, but Li Zheng and the others were off duty and chatting about the matter in the platoon, but they also had no clue.
Fatty Wei thought it was the child who brought it and buried it here with the intention of detonating it. There were three reasons. One was that it was not uncommon for dolls to be used as gunmen in Africa. The other was that if he hadn't brought it here and buried it, why would he be so panicked?
, run away after seeing yourself and Li Zheng? Third, if the militants here want to build IEDs, the easiest way is to find those dumb bombs that have not exploded, connect them to a small piece of high explosives, insert the detonator, and connect something
An old mobile phone or the like can be used with a remote control IED.
Yang DaV retorted, "It's okay for a child to be a gunman and a child soldier, but you want him to bury such a thing? Does he have the skills? Besides, that thing looks very rusty. Maybe it was originally here."
The remaining spent bombs were dug up by the kid by chance.
Fatty Wei said: "If you dig this thing, can you dig into our barbed wire fence? There is also a warning sign outside, warning of the danger of a minefield. Who would an ordinary child dare to come in?"
Li Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said something that made everyone fall into deep thought.
"Do you think the child accidentally entered the minefield and found that there were spent bombs there, and he wanted to pick them up and sell them for money?"
Li Zheng's statement made everyone present not know how to answer.
This sounds like a very absurd guess.
Even if the tail tube of the RPG rocket is made of aluminum, then the mortar shell is
How much can an iron lump be sold for?
Would anyone run into a minefield and take risks because of this little bit of rags? To earn money to buy cabbage with their heads up?
Fatty Wei finally yawned, stretched and said: "I'm talking about college students, your ideas are really weird. If you don't write science fiction, you will be wasting your talent. Go to bed early and go see how the engineers and soldiers eliminate that in the morning."
A pile of rags."
Yang DaV said: "Lao Li, I'm not talking about you, your idea is too unique, maybe there is some truth..."
Anyway, there was no result in the end. After a long day of work, several people were already tired and fell asleep.
That night, Li Zheng couldn't sleep no matter what.
He remembered that the little black kid once looked back when he was running, and he could vaguely see that face.
It was a frightened face.
Maybe he was frightened by his own shooting.
However, he had a vague hunch that the child was not a militant, let alone the legendary child soldier.
Early the next morning, just after dawn, the engineering detachment dispatched a squad and drove a minesweeper truck there to push the mines with a bang.
Facts have proven that those are stink bombs.
Not a single one rang.
Li Zheng stood in the distance, watching the minesweeper plowing back and forth several times like a tireless ox, and finally announced that there were really no mines in this area.
At this moment, Shen Jun took everyone to see what the child left last night.
As soon as they got closer, Shen Jun suddenly stopped everyone.
"etc!"
He pointed to the grass in front of him.
"There's something there."
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw the corner of a white woven bag vaguely exposed in the grass.
That kind of bag is a fertilizer bag, woven type, very cheap.
Shen Jun asked everyone to step back and went forward to check it himself.
After a few minutes, he stood up and announced, "It's okay! It's just a bunch of shrapnel and junk!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Zheng was shocked.
My guess last night was really accurate.
Since I brought a woven bag here, I must be here to pick up rags.
But what he couldn't understand was that the child would venture into a place like this to pick up rags.
But he soon came to a very reasonable and sad conclusion - there were no more shrapnel than this place. After all, the engineering unit had cleared mines before, and there was a lot of scrap left in this land.
Duds and fragments.
Finally, Shen Jun confirmed Li Zheng's guess.
The RPG rocket tail tube is just a tail tube. What is left after launch does not have any charge or explosive power.
Everything seemed to disappear. When Li Zheng left, he found many local children and adults watching nearby.
Standing far away, watching from a distance.
Li Zheng felt that the child who escaped last night was among these children, but he didn't know which one it was.
They might really be willing to risk their lives to dig for shrapnel here for a little bit of scrap metal. From Fatty Wei's point of view, that is absolutely unbelievable. He would rather believe that these children go there for food, money, etc.
Even a child soldier doesn't want to believe that someone would risk their life for a scrap of metal.
Maybe……
Poverty is more terrible than death.
However, these children can no longer pick up shrapnel.
For safety reasons, Xia Zhiguo ordered the engineering team to clean up all the debris here. Absolutely no metal should be left, lest local children venture in to dig for shrapnel and cause an accident.
For a peacekeeping camp, the last thing they want is to have such disputes related to local casualties.
I don't want to see anyone die because of these rags.
It seemed impersonal to clean this place up, but Xia Zhiguo had to do it.
