Chapter 266: Selfishness
The sapper platoon commander's expression was very fanatical, which made his soldiers feel bad. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The squad leader, whose rank is sergeant, persuaded, "Platoon commander, there's no need to make it so big, right?" ”
Another sergeant also agreed with the statement of the squad leader, and also made a new proposal. "That's right, platoon commander, we can report to our superiors and ask them to transport a batch of cement and bricks, and just seal this place."
However, the platoon commander is not something they can easily dissuade: "I have been waiting for this reasonable and legitimate opportunity for a long time, and no one can stop me." ”
Well, they couldn't directly oppose what the commander decided, so the squad leader changed his rhetoric again, "But platoon commander, we only have 7 explosives packs, so it's impossible to create the effect you want, right?" So, can we go back first and report to our superiors? ”
"No, I've decided, hurry up and get the explosives bag."
"Platoon commander, do you really stop thinking about it?"
The platoon commander was annoyed and directly began to force "According to the chapter of the military regulations of our army on command, Article 3, Paragraph 1, I now have the right to..."
The squad leader reluctantly interrupted the platoon commander's recitation of military regulations, "Okay, okay, platoon commander, I'll go get the explosives bag immediately." ”
The cumbersome chapters, I just memorized the chapters about marching and combat, and the supplementary chapters about command, and I really didn't have that kind of talent, and every time I got the book, I was sleepy.
The platoon commander nodded with satisfaction, "This is like the words, you must know that there is no difference between a sapper who can't make an earthquake and a salted fish." ”
The squad leader was stunned by the platoon commander's remarks, and couldn't help muttering, "God's salted fish will cause an earthquake." This salted fish is a little too powerful. ”
"What did you say?"
"Oh, nothing, I said I'll go get the explosives bag right away." The squad leader ran away quickly.
The platoon commander began to draw drawings in earnest.
If you want to artificially create an earthquake, it must be the right time, place, and people, all of which are indispensable, don't look at the heroism that the long row just said, what makes an earthquake, it is just bragging.
In fact, the engineer platoon commander was just organizing a large-scale explosion.
The combat engineer platoon has been formed for so long, and apart from a major explosion on the Yalu River a few years ago, which pitted Hauge and his thousands of Jurchen cavalry, it really hasn't done anything big.
If one is like this, he won't say anything, after all, in the whole army, these people who specialize in playing explosives are the same, and they can only be used as ordinary sappers.
However, in last year's war with the Wa Kingdom, in the later raid battle, Zhao Qingyu of the first company of the rangers, with his first meritorious company in the whole army, used the means of explosives to directly make a big move in Iwami Silver Mountain.
They directly turned the silver mountain that had been mined for hundreds of years overturned, and a major earthquake and a mountain fire turned Iwami Silver Mountain directly from an important source of wealth for the Wa Shogunate into a bottomless pit that needed constant care and relief.
As a member of the Xuan Army, he himself cheered and celebrated the fierce achievements of the Ranger Company.
However, as a combat engineer, especially as a commander of a combat engineer, he could not tolerate that the most talked-about explosion in the history of the Xuan Army was actually completed by a group of cavalry.
In order to get the record up, in this war with Houjin, he took the initiative many times to find fighters.
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and every time they fought, they could not find the opportunity for their combat engineers to exert their maximum power.
On the battlefield, his own group of brothers only made the prestige of the "broadsword" resounding throughout the army, and the combat sappers were still not remembered.
And today, he finally found such an opportunity.
He knew that according to Xuanjun's military regulations and regulations, the best way now was to make a report and use the method of blocking to solve the hidden dangers here.
However, according to some regulations related to commanders, it is not a violation to bring people to stay and deal with them on the spot, but the means used are a little more intense.
He knows very well that this is playing a side game, and it would be fine if the superiors did not pursue it, but once he wanted to pursue it, then he would definitely have no good fruit to eat.
However, the opportunity is rare, the terrain is suitable, and there are so many caves to use that as long as explosives are placed in key locations, it is sure to trigger a massive landslide.
On top of that, it's close to Myeongju and Uiju, and in the event of a large-scale landslide, it's sure to attract a lot of attention.
Although the scale of the earthquake caused by Zhao Qingyu is much larger than here, it is far overseas, and many people will never see the devastating scene in their lifetime, and the landslide caused by themselves is in front of them.
When the time comes, his own combat engineer unit will definitely be able to overpower that Zhao Qingyu in the limelight. The Xuan Army is a flexible army that adapts to the changes of the times, and the Xuan Army has been in a period of adjustment, and the army establishment will be revised according to the experience summary after each battle.
Recently, I heard that some officers have suggested that the combat effectiveness of combat engineers is not obvious, and that ordinary engineers can do the work that this establishment can do, and that this establishment should be abolished.
As long as he can overpower that Zhao Qingyu in terms of reputation, he will be able to impress his superiors, and the next time the army is reorganized, the establishment of combat engineers will definitely be maintained.
As long as the army he brought out can be passed on, even if he is punished severely, he can accept it.
He can't tell anyone about this kind of thought, not because he doesn't believe in his comrades-in-arms, but because he can't pull them into this dangerous plan that is likely to be doomed.
Not long after the drawings were drawn, the explosives package arrived.
At the same time came all the fighters of the combat engineer platoon.
The platoon commander began to assign tasks one by one, surveying and mapping, calculating, digging pits, as well as a few people wearing masks to clean the battlefield and a few people standing guard, everyone performed their duties and began to get busy.
Although the number of explosives packs is a little smaller, it is located in rocky mountainous terrain, and there are so many caves to use, as long as the calculations are accurate, you may be able to make a real landslide here.
"The surveying and mapping of Jiashan is finished, and it is time for you to check the second class."
"It's just right, the mapping of Mt. Yi is also finished, for you."
"Which formula should I bring here?"
"Where's your decimal point? We only have 140 pounds of explosives, there is no room for squandering, and we combat sappers must do our best as long as we want to. ”
"Don't use the caves that have stink bombs in them, they'll smoke people to death, and use the caves next to them that haven't been entered."
"Start slowly, our shovel is like clay, don't cut the load-bearing wood all at once."
