Chapter 49 49. The last mine belongs to him

People all remember the first mine they encountered. When a certain scout arrived at the first mine, they didn't dare to touch it easily. They found a long pole, picked it up from one end of the pole, and picked it back tremblingly. "Pick back a watermelon!" They were all eager to try it, and wanted to go up and touch it, but they didn't dare. "You can only touch it, you can't use your hands or feet. If you touch it, you will make a mistake." People still laughed. The first thunder is always comedy. People can't forget the last thunder they encountered.

The last Lei always carries a lifetime of regrets. That is just a moment, but it will change the fate of a lifetime. At that moment, it was so accidental, so ingenious. A certain position, that is the place where the famous mine-clearing king cleared the last mine.The hero rowed the 1201st mine, and the mine was finished. When he was going downhill, he inserted the mine detector into the ground, which happened to be inserted on the mine in the soil. When it exploded, his eyes were blinded and his legs were blown up. broken. In Laoshan, there is such a mantra: "When the landmine sounds, the country will support it", which refers to the infantry.For engineers, it is "immediately cremated as soon as the mines sound", because engineers lie down when clearing mines, and it is often not their feet that are blown off by landmines, but their heads.

We cannot hear these comrades talk about the last mine they encountered.Only those "lucky ones" who hit the mine can be found. Liu Yuxiang: I was the last thunder I encountered on August 22nd.At that time, I had cleared 1193 landmines. Killed a thousand wolves, but was bitten by a dog. The most dangerous thing is to clear the mines at night, when it is so dark that there is no shadow, the grass is dense, the branches are criss-crossed, and the eyes have completely lost their function. I only rely on the feeling of my two hands. The sense of touch can also be used. With the mine probe biting in his mouth, he stretched his hands into the grass and lifted it up little by little. It was so light that he could feel it when he encountered a trip wire.

The last time was at the place where the ambulance was carried out. There were many gravels on the passage, and I had been through it many times. I wanted to widen the passage a little to make it safer for people to pass through.In the end, it was hit by thunder, and I was immediately suspended from the explosion, and my buttocks hurt so much that I hurriedly covered my buttocks, for fear that my buttocks would be broken. People came over to give me a tourniquet, and then I realized what a fall on the ass is, it's the leg that exploded.I was sawing a leg in the hospital, and I heard clearly that a hacksaw broke in the middle, and another saw blade was replaced.

In the past, every time a mine was laid, one had to write down the numbers, and the number was getting bigger and bigger. When thinking of those Arabic numbers, there was a kind of glory and a kind of pride, but the last Arabic number made people useless for a lifetime.But I don't regret it.I heard someone say that I would rather not have anything but that leg. This is impossible, someone will always encounter the last thunder. The last mine brought an end to my minefield life. The last thunder gave me two crutches, which I regard as the scaffolding of my life. Quan Guohong, the fourth platoon leader of the reconnaissance company, is very open-minded. Soldiers like to brag to him. When he went out to conduct reconnaissance in August, the command team said to him: "Be careful, don't step on the mine!" Didn’t Landmine give us first-class merit?”

He hit mine the next day. Sure enough, he was awarded first-class merit. That time was on May 28. The soldier in front climbed up the rock with a load of 40 jin. His center of gravity was off. He was about to fall outside the passage. Another comrade went to hold him back. Unexpectedly, the load was too heavy, and the two of them fell down together. When he stood up, he stepped on a landmine and one of them blew up his left leg. Since then, the number of mine strikes has increased, and the platoon leaders of the entire company have been injured one after another in almost a few months. It seems that the enemy's mines are very good at cleaning up these soldiers.

This time they went to Leiwozi.The sappers in front let out miserable screams.Quan Guohong, the leader of the fourth platoon, rushed to rescue him, but a grenade tripped and the shrapnel wounded his chest. Quan Guohong carried the engineer back.The engineer was seriously injured, but just as he took a step, he was hit by a thunderbolt, and all the dirt rushed up, and both of them fell to the ground. Quan Guohong's right leg was blown off. He was injured a second time, this time with a blown eye, "My eyes are covered with mud." The engineer shouted. Quan Guohong could see it very clearly, it wasn't that the mud had covered her eyes, and her eyeballs had been blown out.

He felt uncomfortable, as if the thunder was blown not on his legs, but on his heart.He never expected that the last bomb not only blew himself up, but also caused the eyes of his comrades who had lost their legs. Even if my eyes exploded, why did I step here? He tried to save him, but instead killed him. How can I go back to see my comrades, how can I go back and explain to my parents! The soldiers carried the wounded down from the deep mountain. Everyone was covered in blood, and they were so tired that they fell there and couldn't move. They couldn't tell who was the wounded. The stretcher came and grabbed a man covered in blood. Just put it on the stretcher, "×Your mother, I am not injured, the wounded are over there!"

Quan Guohong was carried away, and since then he seems to have changed, he is no longer joking around like that, the last thunder not only caused him to lose a leg, but also brought him eternal guilt, at night he always He dreamed of the engineer, and whenever he met a blind man, he would think of the little brother who lost his right leg and his left eye.
