Chapter 836 Blood and Tears (asking for monthly ticket)
Chapter 836 Blood and Tears (asking for monthly ticket)
"Gu Ji, can we really succeed?"
Gao Bo stood in the cold wind, looking at the soldiers of the Air Service Regiment who were risking their lives to dig out the ruins, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
The reason why Lei Wanshan arranged for the two of them to follow in the blasting.
This is because Gao Bo had systematically studied thermal breaching when he was a pioneer in the Dragon and Tiger Commando, and later he often exchanged blasting methodology with Gu Ji, so his professionalism in directional blasting is unquestionable.
"As long as the location and charge are correct, there is still a high probability of success."
Gu Ji didn't dare to say anything definite.
But among those present, if we talk about blasting experience.
I'm afraid there are few people who can compare with him, even Lei Wanshan, who has been eating rice for a few more years than him, from the perspective of the system.
Because of the New York bomb level, Gu Ji personally dismantled and exploded countless bombs.
Those who are fighting against him behind the scenes are all top elites of the United States Marine Corps.
No matter how many times you study textbooks or simulated training, it is never as good as taking your own life and experiencing it for yourself to gain the accumulated experience.
"Time's up! Switch to the second group!"
"Team Two, Go!"
With the sound of his watch beeping, Lei Wanshan immediately called Li Changshun and others back.
The second group of five soldiers left only one command and rushed towards the radioactive ruins resolutely.
"Quick, everyone, wash your bodies with rain and snow immediately!"
At this time, Director Zheng also came over and reminded Li Changshun who had just returned.
They stayed in the ruins for a full five minutes, which was much longer than the first time Gu Ji and his companions went to investigate. In addition, the electric pickaxes and shovels stirred up a large amount of radioactive dust.
If it sticks to your body for a long time without being treated.
The protective coating of the anti-gas clothing will be gradually burned through by the radiation waves, and eventually lose its protective effect completely.
The best way is actually to use professional spray for disinfection.
But now, after the earthquake, even the disaster relief engineering vehicles cannot come in, let alone those extremely heavy military decontamination vehicles filled with liquids.
"No need to bother!"
Li Changshun pointed at a muddy pit nearby, threw himself into it, and poured mud and water on himself.
Several other soldiers followed suit.
Soon, the second group also completed the work within the specified time.
According to Gu Ji's plan, he needed to dig three pits at the load-bearing support points of the ruins on the west side.
The middle pit has the largest amount of explosives and is the main blasting area, while the other two are for auxiliary directional control.
So among the five-person team, three are responsible for digging the hole, and the remaining two are responsible for hydraulic support and safety protection to prevent collapse caused by drilling halfway. They also have to assist in cleaning up excess rubble and soil.
Half an hour passed.
The ambient radiation level in the surrounding area had risen to a terrifying 4.2 millisieverts per hour. After rounds of efforts by the Air Service Regiment and Task Force 341, the three tube holes for filling with explosives took shape.
"Captain Lei! Dynamite is back!"
"So fast!?"
Behind me, someone shouted in the rain.
When Gao Bo turned around, he saw a dark shadow carrying a package approaching at a very fast speed in the rain and snow.
To know.
It took them nearly an hour to rush back to the ruins of the research institute from the valley battlefield. They needed to be on guard against the fleeing enemies along the way, and they were delayed for a while because of the "black box" incident.
But shortening the round trip time from nearly two hours to just over half an hour is terrifying enough! !
Under the gaze of everyone.
The black shadow stumbled and ran towards them. It was Pasili who was looking for explosives.
I don't know what he went through in between.
His legs looked like they were numb and he couldn't walk in a straight line. Every step he took was shaky, but his speed didn't slow down at all.
He ran to the front in one breath, but suddenly lost his balance and fell headfirst into the muddy water. His chest heaved violently and he gasped for breath.
"Huhaha...Lei, Captain Lei, the explosives are back. Is it too late?!"
"There's enough time!"
Lei Wanshan and Gao Bo hurried forward to help him up.
"Quick, take him to the tree trunk to rest, don't let him lie down!!"
Gu Ji shouted.
He knew that Pasili's body had reached its limit and was about to collapse.
To know.
This is a highland mountain area with an average altitude of 3,000 meters, and a nearly three or four kilometers of weighted cross-country climbing back and forth. Add to that the three debuffs of earthquake, rain and snow, and gas masks. Even an Olympic marathon champion would not be able to withstand it!
Li Yanan and Zhou Yang held up the rainproof cloth and asked Gao Bo to open the tactical backpack.
There was a pile of yellow military plastic explosives inside.
Some of them are ready-made bombs that can be detonated directly by just sticking them somewhere and pressing the remote control.
"The radiation level of the ruins is too high. The magnetic field will interfere with the remote control signal. We must use wire control to detonate!"
Gu Ji directly removed the remote control main board from the bomb and found a bundle of thin black and red wires from it.
It seems that these Indian mountain special forces are also experts in blasting and know that wire control is more stable just in case.
Gu Ji held the plastic explosives and wire in one hand and pulled out a dagger from his tactical belt with the other.
"Captain Lei, Gao Bo, we need to use it to make three wire-controlled bombs."
"Three?"
"That's right. The IED system on this bomb doesn't have the ability to program multiple delayed detonations, so we can only make three of each and manually control the detonation rhythm."
When Gu Ji said this, everyone was shocked.
According to his original plan, the explosives needed to be detonated in two steps.
First, detonate the directional points on both sides to loosen the core of the ruins. After a delay of about 0.5 seconds, detonate the large amount of explosives in the middle to destroy the support, ultimately allowing the ruins to completely cover the target.
If it is an electronic circuit board with automatic control, it is very easy to do this. You just need to let Ye Xiaoshu come forward, connect it to the computer and write a few lines of code, and it can be easily achieved.
But what was unexpected was that the bomb motherboard used by the Indian mountain special forces was very simple, consisting of only a communication detonation motherboard, explosives, detonators, and a power supply.
"Leave the first two directional blasting points to Gao Bo and me. With our tacit understanding, we can detonate them simultaneously. The key lies in the second one..."
Gu Ji was halfway through his words when he looked at Lei Wanshan.
Because the person who detonates later has to both get the timing right and bear the pressure from the previous detonation, he is the person most likely to make mistakes.
But unexpectedly, Lei Wanshan's expression didn't even change.
Still speaking calmly and coldly:
"Leave it to me."
"Okay, without further ado, the blasting point will be dug soon, let's move quickly!"
"Wow!"
Suddenly.
Just as Gu Ji finished speaking.
A dull sound suddenly came from the right side of the ruins of the research institute not far away.
Everyone subconsciously looked back and saw a huge concrete boulder wrapped in twisted steel bars falling towards the soldiers below.
"Be careful!!"
In a flash, the short soldier who was digging a hole with an electric pickaxe pushed it towards his comrade beside him without hesitation.
Accompanied by an exclamation from the crowd.
He used his body to push his comrades away and avoid the falling boulders, but he also lost his balance and fell backwards.
And behind them is the radiation area with the most serious lead tank leakage!
"Hurry and grab him!!"
At the critical moment, the two soldiers beside him quickly reached out and grabbed it.
But I didn't expect that I was still a step slower.
At the moment of landing, perhaps out of physical instinct, the short man used his right hand to support the ground, but he didn't expect that he would fall into a pool of golden radioactive liquid.
Several people hurriedly pulled him back.
"Brother Yi! Are you okay?"
"Do not touch me!"
When the short soldier was pulled up, he immediately pushed away his comrade next to him with his left hand.
Because at this moment, the chemical-resistant rubber glove on his right hand was covered with residues of radioactive waste liquid.
Everyone knows that this thing is extremely dangerous.
After just a few seconds, his face began to frown under the window of the gas mask, revealing a hint of pain.
"Brother Yi, what's wrong with you?"
"No, don't come over..."
"Oh no! Shen Yi, come back and wash your arms immediately! Now!!"
"But Captain..."
Upon seeing this, the company commander Li Changshun hurriedly shouted at him to retreat.
Shen Yi wanted to continue but was stopped by the company commander with a look.
Li Changshun looked back at the air crew beside him.
But they found out that Shen Yi and the other five were the last group.
In other words, except for Gu Ji who was on a mission, and Director Zheng who was untrained, everyone at the scene had participated in the blasting and excavation.
The next second, he didn't hesitate at all.
He immediately put on his protective clothing and rubber boots, picked up his engineer shovel, took a deep breath, and rushed over.
But he was stopped by Director Zheng standing by.
"Captain Li, you can't go over there. You've been exposed to strong radiation for five minutes. It would be very dangerous to go over there now. Let the four of them handle it!"
"Director Zheng, the ruins are starting to loosen and fall apart. If we don't speed up, if the mission fails, not only Shen Yi, but also I, them, and everyone else's sacrifices and hard work will be in vain!"
At this time, Li Changshun was of course aware that the protective capability of his protective suit had been greatly reduced after one construction operation.
But as the company commander, he had no choice.
"Captain, let me go!"
"Let me go!"
"Captain Li, this is our 341's mission, so leave it to us!"
"Don't argue, I'm the company commander, this is an order!"
At that moment, many soldiers and special police rushed over to replace Shen Yi.
See this scene.
Director Zheng didn't know what to say to refute it for a moment. It seemed that any scientific argument seemed pale and powerless at this moment.
Looking at the young people around him, his eyes were firm and passionate.
Director Zheng seemed to have made up his mind and immediately opened his gas protective suit and prepared to take it off.
"Zheng, what are you doing? You're exposing your skin and getting contaminated by radioactive dust!"
"Captain Li, put on my anti-gas suit, it will still hold out for a while! Quick!"
Facing Director Zheng’s red eyes.
Li Changshun tightened his lips, gritted his teeth, and without saying another word, he exchanged equipment with Director Zheng and headed straight for the radioactive ruins.
Facing him, Shen Yi staggered out from the ruins.
But after taking a few steps, a piercing pain came from the palm of my hand, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at it, or as if a hot iron was sticking to it.
"Uh……"
Shen Yi couldn't help but let out a low groan. His face under the mask turned pale, cold sweat broke out from his forehead like rain, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Quick! Help him get away from the radiation!"
"Take off your gloves immediately. Water! Get some water!"
Several soldiers ran over and supported him.
At this moment, Shen Yi's palms were already in unbearable pain, and every heartbeat was accompanied by severe pain.
Following Director Zheng's order.
The comrade beside him slowly took off Shen Yi's gloves with metal pliers with trembling hands.
At that moment, everyone gasped.
The originally healthy palm had completely changed its appearance at this moment. The skin was burned red and covered with dense blisters. After the blisters burst, blood continued to ooze out, and the ulcerated flesh rolled up, which was unbearable to look at.
"It's only been a minute, how could it turn out like this!"
"It's the gamma rays from the radioactive waste. He's been contaminated with too much liquid, and a large amount of radiation waves have directly penetrated the protective coating and damaged his skin cells. Quick, rinse with water!!"
Although they felt reluctant, the soldiers of the Air Service Regiment followed Captain Zheng's instructions and poured the collected rainwater on the bloody palm.
"what--!"
Shen Yi couldn't help shouting, veins popped out on his forehead and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down.
Gu Ji is making a wire-controlled bomb.
Hearing the scream, his body shook and he almost dropped the tools in his hands.
Shen Yi’s hand could no longer be saved.
No one can understand Shen Yi's current pain better than him.
He was roasted to death by radiation at the Nepal virus checkpoint. The pain was a hundred times more painful than being burned by fire.
"Gu Ji, is a 5-meter detonation distance too dangerous?"
"There's no other way. We have to make do with this now. If all else fails, we can just use a few backpacks as cover!"
It seems that Li Changshun's work is about to be completed.
Finally, Gu Ji tied the wiring harness to the detonator, and asked Wu Kang, Li Yanan and others to empty their tactical backpacks and fill them with soil to serve as a cover.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that everything was ready, Lei Wanshan said lightly, picked up his homemade explosives and backpack, and resolutely went to the ruins of the research institute.
Accompanied by the ghostly alarm of the Geiger counter.
Gu Ji and his two companions stood with solemn expressions in front of the pit that their comrades had dug with their blood and tears, tightly grasping the explosives that would decide their fate.
Gao Bo's hands trembled slightly, but it was not because of fear.
But it's huge pressure.
If the blasting is successful, all is well;
But if the explosion failed, the consequences would be beyond their ability to bear, and they would be letting down their comrades in Task Force 341 and those in the Air Service Regiment who had died or were seriously injured.
"Get ready to load the explosives!"
Lei Wanshan stared at the pit with a sharp gaze, and his calm and cold voice could make people feel more at ease.
Gu nodded.
He stuffed the small directional plastic explosive in his hand into the narrow hole, pushed it in with a crowbar, and then covered it with mud to seal it to ensure the power of the explosion.
Gao Bo also proceeded simultaneously.
Then, the three of them stood up, holding the harness step by step, and retreated to the backpack shelter on the right side of the ruins, keeping their eyes on the explosive port.
