"Boom..." After nearly two hours of hard waiting, bursts of explosions finally came from the direction of Sabah.
At first we were not sure if our artillery was bombing the Vietnamese pesticide factory. After all, it was normal to fire a few cannons on this battlefield.
However...after a while, I saw the regiment commander running out of the command center and shouting excitedly at us: "Success! I just received a telegram from my superiors. Our scouts have found the Vietnamese pesticide factory and have succeeded
The guide artillery troops razed the pesticide factory to the ground, and another scout of our army even intercepted and destroyed three cars loaded with pesticides on the road…”
"Okay!" The soldiers couldn't help but cheer.
But it was just a cheer. After a few seconds, everyone soon calmed down and turned their eyes to me and waited for the order. Because everyone knew... the critical stage had just begun.
I looked at the watch and waited quietly for a few minutes, then ordered to the intercom: "Start test the poison!"
"Yes!" Wu Zhijun responded and immediately commanded his soldiers to start.
The so-called poison test... As the name suggests, it is to use insects to test whether the water in the river is poisonous. This work is naturally the responsibility of Wu Zhijun, the platoon...
Wu Zhijun was not very happy when he received this order. He complained to me: "Platform leader... Our squad's combat experience is not as good as the second squad, and I am not as good as the second squad leader.
So I accepted it when I moved ammunition on the battlefield... Why are we the turn to catch ants and bugs now?... This! I am not disobeying the order, how do you tell me to the soldiers under me?
They all blame me for being the squad leader as the incompetent, saying that the second squad leader and the third squad leader are leading the combat squad. Our squad leader is the 'logistics squad'!"
"What's the combat squad's and logistics squad!" I replied angrily: "I said to Comrade Wu Zhijun... Do you know how important this task is? The task you are going to perform now is directly related to our completeness.
The lives of all the soldiers in the army are even related to whether the entire battle can be successful. Others can't ask for such an important task, but you can't help but resist... I can tell you, if you don't complete the task...
Just come to see me with your head!"
"Yes!" After I said this, Wu Zhijun quickly realized the importance of this task, so he stepped forward and replied: "Please ensure that the task is completed!"
In fact, this task is not simple at all. The reason why I handed over this task to Wu Zhijun is because his squad is more involved in direct combat during combat, so the casualties are not serious and the physical exhaustion is not very large... And catching bugs is
It requires patience. So there is indeed no unit that is more suitable than them.
Two hours were enough for Wu Zhijun's troops to catch hundreds of insects.
The reason for catching so many insects is that it is prepared for any eventuality, which is directly related to the life and death of our army. If there are not enough insects at that time, it is not unfair. Another reason is that even if the insects are not
It will take a while for the toxic river water to occur, so in order to accurately grasp the opportunity that is not long, more insects must be conducted in batches and segments.
So, we divided the insects into three ammunition boxes and placed them at the riverside fifty meters apart. In order to grasp the onset of insect toxicity, we conducted some experimental records early in the morning. For example, the time when an ant dies for one minute. The death of a cricket dies.
Time is two and a half minutes...
It should be said that these experiments and records of these data are still very necessary. If there are no such statistics, if we do not know the time of death of various insects, how can we know whether the insects are not dead because the river water is not poisonous or the time for the attack has not come?
When I talk about this, I have to admire the scholar. He made all of this and was organized in an orderly manner. He was just a high school student...and I, a college student, could not think of these details.
It made me even more determined to hide my identity as a "college student" to the end.
So the drug test work began soon, and the platoon of Wu Zhijun was responsible for feeding the water on the river to the insects, while the soldiers under the scholars were responsible for recording and counting next to them.
There is a saying that if there are any cadres, there will be any soldiers. This is really good at all. For example, these three squads... Because the squad leader is a scholar, his soldiers will naturally follow him after a long time.
I was a little angry with the book, and I was doing a pretty good job of watching the time while watching the record.
Soon, a group of data came out... Of course, these numbers are not what I care about. All I want to know is whether the river water is poisonous.
Ten minutes passed, and the experiment did not change at all. The bugs that drank river water all died within a few minutes without exception.
This made me secretly wipe my cold sweat, ten minutes... This time is enough for the commander of the Vietnamese army to know what happened in the pesticide factory. Of course, if there is still a Vietnamese army or a walkie-talkie in the pesticide factory, this time
Maybe it will be shorter. But this seems unlikely, because I believe in the capabilities of our scouts and artillerymen, who can completely destroy the target before the Vietnamese army reacts.
Twenty minutes passed, and the reported situation was still toxic without exception.
Now I couldn't stand it anymore, walking back and forth among the various groups of soldiers... but the result was not changed because of my anxiety. I was still watching dead bugs.
Thirty minutes...
My heart was thrusting tightly, and this time was enough for the Vietnamese commander to react according to our army's actions.
Judging from these enemy-to-me confrontations, the commander of the Vietnamese army is also a very smart person. So... what would he think after he knew that the pesticide factory was bombed?
As long as everyone knows that this must be the one we are doing, the purpose is to obtain a non-toxic water source. How should they stop it next? The easiest way is to change the river channel.
As expected, I heard the scholar looking at the river in horror, shouting: "Plane leader!"
Looking along his gaze, the water flowing out of the canyon was gradually becoming turbid... It was obvious that the Vietnamese army was trying to change the river channel.
However, there is a saying that "people go to high places, water flows to low places." The reason why this river flows in this location for many years is entirely because it is the lowest place, so... it is not that true if you want to change the river channel.
Easy. In other words, we still have some time.
So I gritted my teeth and ordered the soldiers who stopped their movements in panic, "Continue to test!"
"Yes!" the soldiers responded and continued their work regardless of the changes in the water.
Then I soon realized something again... The river water became muddy, maybe it was a good thing. Because... this just shows that the poison in the hands of the Vietnamese army was about to be used up, otherwise they would not have to be so anxious at all.
Now, we seem to be fighting another war with the Vietnamese devils, a war without gunpowder. What we are fighting for... is whether we can get some poisonous river water before the Vietnamese army successfully redirects the river water! The result of winning or losing,
It can almost determine the fate of our army, or it can also be said to determine the fate of the Vietnamese army.
"Platform leader!" At this time, Wu Zhijun shouted at me: "The time of the insect death has been extended... The toxicity of the river water is decreasing!"
"The second group has also been extended!"
"Three sets extend to three minutes..."
"Test again!" I ordered: "Test a few more batches!"
This is indeed good news. River water is liquid and pesticides are also liquids, so its toxicity will spread everywhere and even be stained with aquatic plants or river bank sand. Therefore, this toxicity will not disappear suddenly, but will take a little time and a process.
I didn't expect this problem before, and now I can only hope that these rivers can clean up these toxicities before the Vietnamese army successfully changed the river channels.
"The death time is still extending, now it's four minutes..."
Because we used a batch of bugs to do experiments almost every minute, we quickly got another set of data.
But this is far from enough... because the next second I heard a blast sound from the other side of the canyon, followed by a few consecutive explosions...
I couldn't help but scream in my heart: This is the Japanese invaders who are using explosives to blow up the river.
The river water is not deep. If the Japanese could blow up the stone walls or soil on both sides... Then these things were piled into the river with ancient brains, and the result would be easy to imagine: the river water would be broken soon
The stone and mud were sealed, and then the Japanese wanted the water to flow wherever they wanted.
"It's too late!" I shouted to the soldiers: "All of them follow my orders and only scoop the water in the middle of the river. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Although the soldiers did not understand the profound meaning of my words, they still answered in unison.
I didn't dare to delay any more and ordered loudly: "Scoop water!"
As soon as he heard the order, the soldiers who had already prepared on both sides of the river did not care whether the river was poisonous or not, and even whether it was turbid, grabbed pots and pans and jumped into the middle of the river and scooped... In an instant, the scene became lively.
Thanks to the cooperation between the soldiers... The coordination between our soldiers in war may be a little worse, but low-difficulty coordination of scooping water can still be achieved.
So, pots of water filled the middle of the river and kept spreading to the shore... After a while, various containers were also filled with 70% or 80%.
However, at this time the water level quickly dropped, and not long after, there was only a trickle of water at the bottom of the river.
It is obvious that the upstream river water has been successfully blocked by the Vietnamese army.
At this time, the soldiers all turned their attention to the containers filled with water... Everyone had a question in their minds: Can this water be drunk? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
