Chapter 194 Application and Operation of Anti-Infantry Bounce Mine

"You still want to go take a bath in the creek nearby? If you want to go to the health team, go ahead. Don't say a word when you go."

"Ah? Why is that, squad leader? Then where are we going to take a shower?"

Ji Baichang was even more confused. Could it be that he couldn't take a bath for the next three months? This was too much torture!
"Don't worry, the river here is full of leeches, locusts and poisonous insects. If you want to take a shower, I'll tell you after dinner."

"Ok."

Ji Baichang responded and followed Chen Ting obediently, and stood in line in the open space in front of the tent.

Led by the company duty officer, we arrived in front of the restaurant.

The restaurant is also made up of tents, but the color of the tents is a little different from that of their class tents. The top of the restaurant tent is a little dark red.

Under the sunlight, all tents have one thing in common: it is very stuffy inside.

Whether it's a class tent or this kind of restaurant tent, it's extremely stuffy even in the middle of the day.

Most of the veterans who had finished their meals in the tent would even choose to carry their own food bowls and walk outside the restaurant to eat. After eating, they would get some water from the faucet nearby, wash their plates directly, and put them back into the restaurant.

The main reason is that the restaurant is too stuffy and it’s not a place where people can stay.

"Qinglong, you're really not hot? Why don't you have any sweat on your body?"

Ji Baichang, who had finished his meal outside, was about to put the empty rice bowl back into the disinfection cabinet inside the restaurant tent.

As a result, he found that Lu Qinglong was like a normal person, sitting calmly in the tent with a temperature of nearly 40 degrees and eating lunch.

And judging from his posture, he wasn't affected by the high temperature at all.

"Is it hot? Why can't I feel it?"

"Do I feel okay?"

"Don't tell me, Bai Chang, it seems that everyone in the company has reduced their appetite. That's great."

Lu Qinglong stood up and put all the food into his big iron basin.

At this time of day, there would usually be hungry veterans who would want more food, but today there were none.

These veterans just wanted to finish their meal quickly and get away from this furnace.

"Okay, Qinglong, you are really a bit abnormal. No wonder you can withstand artillery bombardment while wearing ceramic steel armor."

"By the way, I just heard the squad leader say that we will have training this afternoon."

"The training content is to teach us how to eliminate anti-infantry jumping mines. An old squad leader from the company came to teach us."

"I feel like this is what it's like to be a special forces soldier. I'm so excited!"

An inexplicable emotion surged into Ji Baichang's heart.

Chen Ting also said that the four recruits had no experience in handling landmines, so they would receive separate adaptive training in the afternoon.

"Sure, anti-infantry mines are often used on the battlefield. It won't hurt to learn more about them."

Lu Qinglong ate the food in the iron basin with big mouthfuls.

What they have learned now is still a bit insufficient, and compared with these veterans, they obviously lack some ways to deal with emergencies.

I was a little confused most of the time. Apart from what the veterans taught me, I knew very little about other aspects.

In comparison, if it were Chen Ting, he would seem to be at ease no matter what situation he faced. This is the shortcoming of new recruits and old soldiers in terms of experience accumulation.

To give the simplest example, let's ask them to perform a reconnaissance mission.

Let them find the location of the enemy's command post and pass the message to the rear command post, and then the artillery will complete the simplest reconnaissance mission of bombing the target point.

If the four of them were allowed to go for reconnaissance, they would probably fall into the enemy's trap before they even reach the command post. Not to mention passing the location of the enemy's command post to the rear, just finding the enemy's location would be extremely difficult.

There are so many things to pay attention to.

On the other hand, if Chen Ting were to lead a team to complete the task, he would not even need anyone else and could complete the reconnaissance mission by himself.

Blasting, communications, special driving, reconnaissance, raiding, escorting leaders, hostage rescue, targeted elimination and other skills, the four of them haven't even entered the door, and there is still a lot to learn.

After waiting for a while, when Lu Qinglong finished his meal, the four of them returned to their class's tent together.

Although the class tents are also stuffy, they are better than the restaurant tents and are within an acceptable range.

Ji Baichang, who had just sat on the green train for a whole day, felt a little tired and soon fell asleep on the bed covered with a cool mat.

When I woke up from my nap, my whole body was soaked with sweat.

In the afternoon, the company arrived at an open area that served as a training ground.

After a familiar warm-up of running a few laps around the training ground, he immediately prepared to start the afternoon training.

The instructor in charge of the installation and removal of anti-personnel mines is a fourth-term sergeant in the company. "Watch carefully and learn well. This squad leader Luo used to be in the engineering battalion. Later, our company lacked professional backbones in this area, so he was transferred to our first company."

Before the fourth-term non-commissioned officer was about to give the lecture, Chen Ting quietly reminded the students in Class 1.

If they were absent even from such a serious subject, he would have to punish them all later.

Fortunately, no one would rebel at this point in time, and everyone looked seriously at the veteran standing in the front.

Ji Baichang looked at this fourth-term non-commissioned officer named Luo and had some impression of him. He seemed to be a veteran of Class 8. He usually looked lazy, including during training. He didn't expect that he was actually an expert in this field!

Although this fourth-term non-commissioned officer is a veteran of the Eighth Squad, he is not the squad leader of the Eighth Squad. The squad leader of the Eighth Squad is a second-term non-commissioned officer.

Basically, those who have reached the fourth term of non-commissioned officer service rarely serve as squad leaders.

The main reason is that the squad leader needs to deal with a lot of miscellaneous matters every day, so these fourth-term non-commissioned officers are just ordinary members of the squad.

Veterans like Chen Ting, who are still squad leaders in their last year of fourth-term non-commissioned officer service, are extremely rare.

"Hello, comrades. I am this time's instructor Luo Hao. I will tell you about the operation of anti-infantry mines."

Luo Hao, a fourth-term non-commissioned officer, had the smile on his face disappear at this moment, replaced by seriousness and solemnity.

Training is training, life is life, the two are completely different.

To his left is an ammo box-like box.

He first squatted down and took out a green can-shaped object slightly thicker than a beverage bottle from the box.

(Figure 1)

When Ji Baichang took a first look, he thought he saw edible canned food.

"Just like this 72 anti-personnel mine produced in the Soviet Union in my hand, I will first explain to you in detail today how to dismantle this kind of anti-personnel mine if you encounter it on the battlefield, and what we should do first."

Fourth-term sergeant Luo Hao shook the 72mm anti-infantry mine in his hand and handed it to the new recruit next to him, asking him to take it down and let everyone in the company take a close look at it.

After taking over the 72nd anti-personnel jumping mine, the new recruit's hands could not stop shaking.

Because my squad leader just told me that this thing can be used. It contains gunpowder and can explode!

Fortunately, the recruits assigned to the first company were basically the best in the company, and there were no weak ones. The hands of this recruit were just shaking a little.

He successfully handed the 72mm anti-personnel mine in his hand to the veteran beside him.

Compared to the new recruits, the veterans were obviously much more relaxed. They knew that this thing would not be so easy to blow up by them, and would not explode inexplicably. So they played with it carefully in their hands, and only passed it to the next veteran when they got tired of it.

When the anti-infantry mine was handed to Lu Qinglong, he simply took a quick look at the mine in his hand, weighed it, and handed it to Ji Baichang beside him.

Although this thing is not big, it still weighs a bit, about five kilograms.

"Ouch! This thing is quite heavy!"

Ji Baichang took the jumping mine handed to him by Lu Qinglong and almost lost his grip. Seeing Lu Qinglong's relaxed look, he thought it was not very heavy. He didn't expect that he was just overthinking.

It felt like it was filled with iron, which made Ji Baichang doubtful. This thing was so heavy, could it really jump up and kill people?

After everyone had a look around and weighed the anti-infantry mine in their hands, Luo Hao, who had picked up the mine again, continued:
"This jumping mine can basically be regarded as a typical one. The core structure of modern jumping mines used by the US military is similar."

"Okay, you've touched them all, right? Now I'll give you some pleasure, and get ready to explode!"

"Everyone, stay back!"

Luo Hao's words stunned the new recruits present. Wasn't it supposed to be an explanation? Why was it going to explode right away?
The way this special operations brigade teaches them is really extraordinary! This is going to explode right away!
Thinking of this, the new recruits immediately followed the old soldiers and began to retreat.

"My squad leader, is this squad leader Luo so crazy? What's the killing radius of this thing? Where should we retreat to?"

As Ji Baichang retreated, he couldn't help but ask Chen Ting.

“He’s always been like this.”

"This Soviet-made 72mm anti-infantry jumping mine has an effective killing range of 25-30 meters."

"We have to retreat to the back of the 50-meter pile of sandbags."

After everyone retreated to the sandbags fifty meters away, Luo Hao also put on an explosion-proof suit, dug a small hole in the ground, and buried the anti-infantry mine in it.

Insert explosive fuse and install tripwire trigger fuse.

Tie the other end of the tripwire to a distant tree trunk.

After completing all this, Luo Hao retreated to the bunker made of sandbags at the rear and drove a bomb disposal robot forward.

The moment the small robot touched the tripwire, the mine flew up from the ground to a height of about one meter.

"boom!"
