Chapter 88 Teaching Begins (Subscription Request)
"Report to the company commander. Preparations for the anti-tank mine installation and removal class are complete. Please give instructions!"

Facing Chen Ting's salute, the company commander Chen Tianjian immediately returned a military salute:
"start."

"Yes!"

Turning to face all the new recruits, he said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"Subject: Installation and removal of anti-tank mines!"

"Purpose: Through training, comrades will learn and master the installation and removal of anti-tank mines and how to operate them correctly on the real battlefield, laying a good foundation for the next step of training."

"Content: Installation and removal of anti-tank mines"

“Time: About half an hour”

"Location: Back Mountain Training Ground"

“Methods: explanation and demonstration, personal experience, organization of exercises, evaluation and acceptance, summary and comments.”

"Requirements: Comrades need to concentrate, be rigorous, and take good care of the equipment."

"Textbook basis: Military Training and Assessment Outline"

"Equipment support: engineer shovels, sackcloth pieces, anti-tank mines."

As a veteran indeed, this teaching method comes easily to him.

The series of words were spoken without any pause, and the pauses and transitions in the voice were very natural, making the recruits below almost exclaim how awesome it was.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it has to be the old monitor. He memorized this teaching method so skillfully."

"Of course not. After all, he is a veteran from the Special Operations Brigade. His professionalism is exaggerated."

"Wang Yuan, why didn't I see your teaching method was so tough? Look at your monitor, he's awesome."

The new recruits couldn't speak, but the veterans could.

A soldier of the same year as Wang Yuan who had just been promoted to a non-commissioned officer poked Wang Yuan and asked cheerfully.

"How can it be the same? He is my squad leader after all. He was a scout more than ten years ago. He was a veteran when the Special Operations Brigade, the predecessor of the Special Operations Brigade, was here. His strength is naturally beyond words."

Wang Yuan raised his head proudly. He was always proud that Chen Ting had taught him.

Chen Ting continued to explain in front of everyone:
"Comrades, the installation of anti-tank mines means that we need to bury the anti-tank mines accurately in the ground. Before that, I would like to ask you a question."

"Please think about what the most important factor is when we install anti-tank mines. Let me answer it for you, Lu Qinglong."

As soon as Chen Ting finished speaking, Lu Qinglong, who was pointed out by Chen Ting, did not panic at all and answered:

"Report to the squad leader, it's concealment!"

He was actually half a backup. Before Chen Ting's demonstration, in the queue going to the training ground, Chen Ting asked Lu Qinglong and others to be more alert.

Although Lu Qinglong didn't know what it meant at the time, he reacted quickly and agreed.

"The answer is very good, it is hidden."

"At the same time, the location where the anti-tank missile is installed is also very important. Of course, you don't need to consider the installation location for now. I will first teach you how to install it correctly."

As Chen Ting spoke, he walked to the tools that had been placed on the ground and squatted down.

One hand grabbed the shovel, and with the other he placed the anti-tank mine in the dirt.

"Now I will teach you how to use the 'three-shovel positioning method' to determine the size and location of the mine pit."

"Comrades, you can see that a spade was used to drive the markings about three centimeters deep into the soil on three sides of the mine."

"Then take out the shovel and start digging. After determining the location in advance, dig a round mine pit with straight walls."

"Also pay attention to the piece of burlap beside you. It is used to place the excavated soil and grass on it to provide concealment later."

After Chen Ting finished speaking, he kept working with the engineering shovel in his hand. Although he was already a veteran in his thirties, he seemed to have endless energy. He soon dug out a mine pit that was just right for an anti-tank mine.

(Figure 1)

After digging the entire mine pit, he paused for a moment, then asked all the new recruits to come over for a tour, and then continued to explain:
"Because I dug the mine pit better, I can put the mine directly in."

(Figure 2)

"See that dent on top? We can unscrew it and put the fuse in right away."

"After inserting the fuse, fill the gap with the soil that was just dug out and placed on the sackcloth, compact it and stabilize the anti-tank mine."

"Finally, spread the grass evenly on top of the anti-tank mine to camouflage it."

(Figure 3)

"Operate in this way, use sackcloth to pack away the extra stones and mud, and remove any traces of the operation. This will mean that the anti-tank mine has been successfully installed."

"It's the same for dismantling. Find the location of the anti-tank mine, unscrew the bolts, and take out the fuse inside. I won't demonstrate it here."

"Thank you for watching this tutorial on how to install and remove anti-tank mines. Please point out any deficiencies."

After Chen Ting finished speaking, he saluted in the direction of the recruits once again, and thunderous applause immediately broke out from the audience.

"The old squad leader is worthy of being the old squad leader! He speaks very clearly and crisply, and I can understand it as soon as I hear it!"

"Yes, yes! I can't even imagine having a fourth-term sergeant as my squad leader. I would have to look up when I go out."

"That's true. This is really a great lesson."

Everyone, whether they were new recruits or veterans, gave high praise to Chen Ting's teaching.

"Okay, since squad leader Chen Ting has taught us, each class will start practicing. We will have an inspection before the final morning exercise. If you can't complete the operation within five minutes, you will have to do extra physical training in the afternoon."

The duty officer briefly explained the assigned tasks and let each class go.

After each class was led out, they found a piece of land to practice. "Squad leader, why do I feel like you are digging so easily, but when we are digging, the soil is too hard, isn't it?!"

Song Si couldn't help but ask the squad leader Chen Ting a question.

"Didn't you eat? Can't you use a little strength and use an engineer shovel? Have you never done farm work at home?"

"Look at Lu Qinglong. Even if you dig ten times, it won't be as good as one of his shovels."

Chen Ting shook his head. The gap between the new recruits was too big.

With one shovel, Lu Qinglong overturned a large piece of soil. After two shovels, the depth of the anti-tank mine had been reached.

After placing the anti-tank mines, cover the gaps.

In the end, the whole process will not take more than three minutes.

And during these three minutes, others had only dug a thin layer on the ground and had just dug up the surface of the soil.

"Squad leader, the anti-tank mines our troops use, won't explode if we step on them?"

Ji Baichang, who was standing by, was digging a hole with great effort, and he couldn't stop talking.

"Human? This is an anti-tank mine. How can it explode if someone steps on it?"

Facing Ji Baichang's doubts, Chen Ting also answered patiently.

"There's a huge spring on this button. If you don't believe me, you can try to step on it and see if you can push it down."

"If my memory serves me right, there will be a very crisp 'click' sound when you step on it. Of course, you can't step on it."

The more Chen Ting said this, the more Ji Baichang wanted to step down and give it a try.

He found the anti-tank mine he had just buried and stomped down with all his strength.

However, apart from the sharp pain in his right foot, he did not feel anything else.

The imagined "click" sound did not occur.

"Eh? Isn't this right, squad leader? Why is there no sound at all?"

Ji Baichang was very puzzled. He jumped high again. This time he gathered all his strength and stepped down hard.

"Crack!"

Some crisp sounds were heard.

"Monitor! I did it!"

"What the hell did you do, Lu Qinglong? Did you step on an anti-tank mine?"

Chen Ting looked at Lu Qinglong with a dazed look in his eyes and asked.

"Forehead"

"Sergeant, I didn't mean to do that. I heard you say that it's okay if someone steps on an anti-tank mine, so I wanted to give it a try."

"I didn't expect this thing to be so fake. It snapped as soon as I stepped on it."

Lu Qinglong scratched his head awkwardly, trying to look innocent.

"never mind."

"This is really weird. This thing needs 200 kilograms of pressure to make the sound. You..."

Chen Ting suddenly thought of something and stopped talking for a moment.

"Lu Qinglong, are you 300 kilograms?"

"Yes, monitor."

"It's okay. If you go to the battlefield in the future, you need to modify your shoes. At least make them flatter so that the force-bearing area is larger. This way, this situation won't happen again."

Chen Ting shook his head and dug out Lu Qinglong's mine from the ground.

This anti-tank mine really looked like it had been triggered, the trigger was completely sunken, and then the whole thing opened and popped out.

"It's okay. It can be considered a teaching material. If there are more classes like this in the future, you can use yours as an example."

Chen Ting briefly comforted Lu Qinglong and turned to look at the other stunned recruits:

"Have you guys finished practicing? Just watch here."

The other recruits immediately withdrew their gazes, dug holes in the ground and buried the mines in them.

They kept practicing repetitive operations until they could dig a complete anti-tank mine trap within five minutes.

"This thing is really simple. Basically, you can learn it in one morning and one hour of practice."

"Old Xue, let's have a competition?"

Ji Baichang likes to compete with Xue Daochao, otherwise he feels uncomfortable all over.

When he turned to look at Xue Daochao, his eyes also swept over Song Si who was in the same direction as Xue Daochao.

The guy was acting furtively, as if he was looking for something.

Ji Baichang took a quick glance and then looked away, continuing to ask for a competition with Xue Daochao.

At this moment, Song Si had only one thought in his mind:
"Oh shit, where is my anti-tank mine? I can't find it."

　Well, you can write "Mastered the installation and removal of anti-tank mines" on your resume in the future
