Chapter 529 Mine Clearance Begins(1/2)
Chapter 529 The mine clearance begins
In this way, the next day he brought the SEALs to the mine array area. This was their first day of mission after all, so many soldiers who demined mines came to assist them.
In fact, everyone also wants to see what kind of strength this legendary team among special forces has.
Fang Tian and his SEALs not only broke the rules, but also made Fang Tian's reputation very well dressed.
He is not only a strong soldier, but also an excellent team leader. He is almost versatile and ranks first in comprehensive military qualities.
So everyone wants to see this legendary God of War.
Deputy Commander Zhang also came with his men and equipment. He saw that Fang Tian had not even worn the equipment and dared to go directly. This kind of courage is indeed very good, but it is also very adventurous.
"No matter what, you must first ensure your safety, replace all the equipment, and do it according to the rules and regulations."
"Yes! Chief!"
Although he said that, Fang Tian really wanted to whistle to the sky at this moment. In such weather, he really didn't want to wear such thick clothes.
These explosion-proof suits weigh dozens of kilograms after wearing them, and they also have thick helmets that are not breathable at all. This is really difficult.
Jiang Xiaoyu and the others were wearing explosion-proof suits during training. Fang Tian was very confident in his mine-removal methods, so he had never worn explosion-proof suits. After wearing them this time, he felt sweating profusely after five minutes.
Moreover, such a thick explosion-proof suit is very difficult to move after wearing. He moved slowly and looked at the locations of several thunders for a long time. Yesterday, he had already explained it to them, and now he has begun to clear mines separately.
The soldiers around were observing.
"Squad leader, do you say they just got on the right way, and don't listen to our opinions?"
"I don't know this, but yesterday I heard from Member Qin that he took more than ten seconds yesterday to eliminate a landmine."
"What?"
"I think this should be impossible. It's not enough time to dig out the soil for more than ten seconds. He just drained the mines like that. This should be impossible."
The squad leader next to him also nodded. He also thought so. He thought that the guard might be too exaggerated, and it was impossible to do it.
Because the terrain here is relatively complex, some thunders have been exposed on the hillside, and some thunders are buried deeper due to the movement of the earth's crust, so it is almost impossible to line up one in ten seconds.
As the two of them were talking, Fang Tian stood up, raised his hand to signal, and then took out a lined mine directly from the ground.
Both of them were completely shocked now. What was really ruled out! This is too exaggerated.
Fang Tian actually discharged a landmine during the time they were talking.
Deputy Commander Zhang was next to you and you had to applaud. He knew that it was absolutely right to invite Fang Tianlai. Their strength and speed were simply extraordinary.
Compared to Jiang Xiaoyu, they are much better at demining, after all, they are at normal speeds because this requires the sensitivity of their fingers.
But it is relatively fast, Jiang Xiaoyu and the others line up almost five or six minutes.
No matter what, their speed is much more efficient than the soldiers here, and everyone just lies there, clearing mines one by one.
Fang Tian had already discharged more than a dozen landmines, and he slowly walked down. The number he arranged was as much as they usually had to work for half a day.
Jiang Xiaoyu and the others couldn't stand it either. The temperature was too high today, and the outdoor temperature had reached 30℃, not to mention that in this explosion-proof suit, he felt that he was about to be choked.
Everyone admired it very much and ran forward one after another. After all, it was not easy to cover it in this explosion-proof suit. After Fang Tian took off his helmet, his head was completely wet with sweat.
Deputy Commander Zhang quickly handed over the kettle.
Fang Tian lifted the kettle and drank it gurgled, and then he said, "Chief, can I not wear this explosion-proof suit to clear mines? If this continues, I am too slow and very hot."
"Fang Tian, this is an order. You must create environmental protection clothing, and this is also for your safety."
Fang Tian sighed. In fact, according to the current power of the mines, even if they are wearing explosion-proof suits now, it is not very useful at such a close distance.
After hearing Fang Tian say this, Deputy Commander Zhang still disagrees. No matter what, he still has to focus on Fang Tian's safety. Even if he can't protect too much, it will be at least a protection.
In addition, Deputy Commander Zhang also sent a squad of soldiers here to supervise him, because he was worried that he would take off his explosion-proof suit. He was really helpless. Fang Tian went up again after drinking the water and asked Jiang Xiaoyu and the others to go down to drink some water as well. If this continues, the water loss will be too great.
They are very efficient today. They have discharged more than 180 landmines in just one morning.
The mines in this area they determined before had been completely drained. After they swept through them with a mine detector, there was no problem.
Deputy Commander Zhang was very happy. Usually, this amount was their number in a few days. Unexpectedly, Fang Tian and the others had finished their work in a few days in just one morning, which reduced a lot of pressure from them.
Moreover, other soldiers were greatly encouraged after seeing this, but in comparison, their speed was indeed much slower because it was inconvenient to move in the explosion-proof suit.
Fang Tian and his men took off their explosion-proof suits and lay on the grass opposite. Now the wind is blowing, it feels so comfortable. He just now felt like he was going to have heatstroke.
"Brother Tian, this is so painful. Will the temperature here always be so high? At least it wasn't so hot when we were training before."
"After all, this is a border area, the basic temperature is 30~35℃. I think the temperature will be higher tomorrow,"
"Oh my God, this temperature is in Wuzhai's explosion-proof clothing, and I will probably become roast duck tomorrow."
"No need to go tomorrow, you should be fine this afternoon."
Balang teased Zhang Chong from the side that they had not received such heat-resistant training before, which was Fang Tian's negligence, but he did not expect them to have such an experience.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly saw that there seemed to be a river at the foot of the mountain opposite.
"Brother Tian, look, are you going to swim with us brothers?"
"This is OK. I can't stand the sweat now. Let's go and let's go and cool down."
After all, they are all navy and are not unfamiliar with water. Let's go swimming in the river at the foot of the mountain together.
Jiang Xiaoyu didn't care so much, and he stabbed it hard. At this moment, Fang Tian suddenly realized something was wrong.
Because he went into the water with Jiang Xiaoyu, he felt that there seemed to be something in the water, so he quickly told everyone not to move around, and the people on the shore had not had time to get down.
"Brother Tian, what's going on? Don't scare me!"
"It seems there is thunder in it."
Fang Tian's voice was not loud, but the few people were completely shocked. Now that he and Jiang Xiaoyu had entered the water, there was thunder in it, which was impossible.
After all, the surrounding area was surrounded by barbed wire. Although there was no sign, when the river water rose, it should have been the time when the river water rose, the sign with a minefield was washed down.
Fang Tian was sure that there were no mines under his feet, so he told Jiang Xiaoyu not to move, and then dived into the water. Sure enough, there were indeed mines underneath.
"Brother Tian, why don't I feel at all? Did I step on a landmine?"
"I'm not sure, because all the messengers are below, so you won't feel too big when you step on a landmine. I'll go down and check it out first."
Deng Jiuguang quickly handed the knife to Fang Tian, but they didn't expect that there were mines in the water.
This is also a form of mines, buried deep below. Although there is a shock from river water every day, the bottom is fixed with barbed wire mesh, making it more difficult to dispense such mines.
There was no problem with diving Fang Tian. After he dived, he saw the stones at Jiang Xiaoyu's feet. He slowly pulled the stones next to him with a knife. It was simply a test to clear mines under the water.
But this is nothing to him, because they had challenged to clear mines in the shaking sea before.
The waves in the sea are much more surging than they are now, and the water in the river is relatively calm. Jiang Xiaoyu did step on the landmine, which is considered to be his luck. Moreover, due to the age of time, the thunder did not trigger it.
Deng Jiuguang and the others were very nervous on the shore. After more than a minute, Fang Tian dived from underwater and took out a landmine.
"Xiaoyu, I really don't know if you should say whether you are lucky or not. You stepped on this thunder but it didn't explode, but the lead has been destroyed by me, so there is no problem now."
Jiang Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that there were mines in the river. No wonder he was surrounded by barbed wire and did not let him go into the water.
At first they thought it was dangerous for the water depth and were worried that there would be children swimming around and that the danger of drowning would occur. Unexpectedly, it was even more terrifying than drowning.
"Brother Tian, why haven't you come up yet? Come up quickly. There are landmines underneath."
"Since we are all here, let's arrange it. Do you have confidence? This thing is much simpler than in the sea. You can arrange it in the sea before, let alone this mere river channel."
When Jiang Xiaoyu and the others talked about this, they became interested. Deng Jiuguang said that there was no problem. From running to the hillside where they put their equipment, they also brought the mine detector down. The current mine detector is no longer the same as before. It can be retractable and is more convenient in water.
"Okay, then let's take advantage of the lunch break and act together."
"But I'm going to say that if you guys are not wearing explosion-proof clothing, will you be afraid? If you have any questions, then wait for me on the shore and I can line up all of these."
"Brother Tian, it's not working if you say this, and wearing explosion-proof suits underwater is not working. Besides, we have trained before, so what's the point of fear?"
Deng Jiuguang also took the lead in walking into the water, and he started to search slowly with a mine detector.
Because after dinner, it was a rest time at noon, Deputy Commander Zhang did not pay attention. After all, everyone had to perform mine clearance operations in the afternoon. Because the situation here was quite special, they had three hours of rest at noon.
The temperature at noon can sometimes reach 40 degrees, which is too hot to bear.
So they were all pushing it for more than an hour.
After getting off a nap this morning, Vice President Zhang was about to go to the bathhouse to take a shower. He looked at the guard next to him and said, "Go and tell Fang Tian that we have a bathhouse here. The weather here is not like theirs. You have to take a bath twice a day, otherwise it will be too hot."
"yes!"
After the guards went to the dormitory where they lived, since they had not asked the guards at the door at all, they said they had never seen them come back today.
What is this? He hurried to report to Deputy Commander Zhang. Are they quietly clearing mines?
"Why? The people didn't come back? How did you do things? They didn't know that they had just come here, wouldn't you bring them back?"
Speaking of this guard, he felt a little aggrieved, because he did propose to bring Fang Tian and the others back at that time, but Fang Tian said that they were too hot and wanted to rest on the hillside.
Deputy Commander Zhang quickly sent two squads of soldiers to search for the minefield, because there were minefields everywhere, and many minefields had not been discovered yet. If you walked around, you would really encounter danger.
When they arrived at the minefield, they only saw the explosion-proof suits that Fang Tian and the others were wearing were hanging on the hillside. The guard shook his head and found no one.
At this time, a soldier's eyes were sharp. He saw the hillside below and there was actually someone in the river channel.
"Look at the people below, are they in the river?"
