The first maintenance target was in sight, and the morale of the whole company was immediately boosted. Everyone waved their whips to urge the horses. These docile packhorses still remained silent. They kept going as fast as they should, as if the whips had not been whipped at all. Similar.
From a distance, Shen Rusong saw the communication tower. This iron tower, which was roughly estimated to be forty or fifty meters tall, was hung with many dead branches and rotten leaves. Every time a mountain wind blew away the old ones, new ones came in.
There are three iron-clad rooms under the tower. The roof of one of them was blown away under the tattered barbed wire fence outside. The hole there is so big that you don't have to go through the locked door and just get in.
There was a sound of birds in the valley, and I didn't know if it was the cuckoo singing. Shen Rusong picked up a few winter jasmine flowers and crushed them in his palm. The blood-like juice seeped out, and he slapped the horse on the butt. He heard the platoon leader's scream. The person from the front called out and responded with a "Hey". He immediately turned over and dismounted, splashed half of his body with mud and water, and hurried to the front of the team.
"What's the matter, platoon leader?" Shen Rusong asked.
"There is something wrong with this tower. I know you are good at surveying and mapping. Compare and contrast. If the situation is not good..." The platoon leader turned his head and looked up at the mountain wall next to him. The base station was built in a natural mountain col, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one Facing the narrow mountain road.
"The situation is not good...if the tower tilts, we have to bring people up to correct it. It is too troublesome to grout and reinforce the foundation here."
Shen Rusong nodded, returned to the horse team, found the base station corresponding materials carried in the file box, spread them out on the horse, and called 1st squad leader Zhao Haiqiang, who was shouting for the horses to enter the station first.
"Who in your class has good engineering skills? Now we need to measure the original position of the building. You can bring a few people to drill holes."
"Are you staying here for observation?"
"Yes, the inclinometer tube, probe, and drill bit are all in your class, right?"
"Yeah, that's right. Your class is responsible for military equipment. Okay, I'll lead the people here to do it."
"okay."
Gao Keming and his few technical soldiers alone were far from enough to complete such a large project. Half the company had to get started. Shen Rusong asked someone to assemble the portable inclinometer, install the vertical and horizontal components, and set them at different observation points according to the engineering drawing data.
"Remember to calibrate! Don't stupidly put it in directly! If it's wrong, you have to check it again!" Shen Rusong shouted. The leader of the team was Deng Feng. Although he knew that he had experience, Shen Rusong still warned him.
The cavalry squad led the horses into the base station. Since most of the company's engineers were busy drilling holes and measuring piles, they had to condescend to clean up the iron room that had been abandoned for more than half a year, and temporarily renovated a stable. , and quickly brought his beloved war horse inside to take shelter from the rain. There was no vet to be found in this place.
After the installation of the inclinometer was completed, Shen Rusong was called over to calibrate it, so he asked the female soldier to help assemble the inclinometer tube. First, fix the bottom cover with screws or glue. He also asked someone to bring rubber water pipes to divert water. He heard the sound of drilling holes from Zhao Haiqiang stopped, and he should be able to prepare for water injection.
"Isn't there a mountain spring over there? Hey, don't use the kettle to pick it up! Don't touch that silver liner! You're used to being rich, get the water pipe!" Shen Rusong scolded, and he slapped Yang Qi On the back of his head, this boy thought that the amount of water injected was not too much, but he was so whimsical that he picked up a kettle to pick it up, which made Shen Rusong laugh.
"Okay, put the guide wheel into the guide groove, and I'll go over and take a look." Shen Rusong instructed Li Hao and said. I thought this guy was quick at work, a combat soldier is a combat soldier, and he had strong qualities.
Shen Rusong walked quickly into the base station. The cavalry on the side struggled to lift the iron roof that had been blown away by the mountain wind, shouting to put the thing back. Shen Rusong told them not to waste their efforts, this thing is not going to work. Even if it is welded firmly, it will still fall off.
"How are you doing over there?" Shen Rusong called while waving as he walked.
Zhao Haiqiang, half-covered in mud and water, was bending down to drill holes. He held the drill head and shouted without replying: "It's almost there! There are still two more to go! Go get the pipes."
As Zhao Haiqiang talked, he walked towards the mountain wall. There was the bedrock of the iron tower. What they had to do was to measure whether it was the displacement of the tower itself or the displacement of the foundation. The former would be leveled violently, and then the station's reserve materials would be dug out and mixed with cement. Reinforce it, if it's the latter? That's a lot of things.
"Okay, take the pipe..." In the middle of the sentence, Zhao Haiqiang suddenly felt a lightness on the soles of his feet, and cracks appeared on the mud soles of his boots like spider webs. He hurried forward, but he didn't know that the entire land was It suddenly cracked, and the cracks expanded visibly to the naked eye in an instant, and the cracks spread rapidly like wildfire. In just a few seconds, his entire body disappeared into the smoke.
Shen Rusong's front foot froze in place, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone! Let's go! Let's go!" Shen Rusong shouted, immediately opened the gas mask tube that never left his body, took out the mask and buckled it on.
"The horse ran away! The horse! The horse!" The iron stable collapsed, and the various horses inside broke free of the ropes and ran towards the mountain road in fear!
Shen Rusong pushed away a frightened recruit, grabbed his armed belt and dragged him directly to the door. A gray horse flew past his eyes. He subconsciously reached out and pulled out the reins, and immediately died. Hold on, nothing will happen to you! Nothing can happen to these horses!
But how powerful is the sudden burst of power from a frightened war horse? ! Shen Rusong resisted for less than a second before he was dragged to the ground. After being dragged for more than ten meters, the machine's legs swung horizontally and hooked onto a small tree, stopping the horse abruptly.
Shen Rusong held the reins and gradually approached behind Xunka like a fishing line. The majestic gray stallion paced anxiously between the cliffs, shaking its head back and forth restlessly, hoofs raised and lowered, and hissing continuously. .
"Calm down, Xunka, calm down." Shen Rusong held the rope, raised his palms and said.
Just as Shen Rusong was about to go around from behind the horse to the front, Chen Xiaoxiang's roar came from the distance:
"Not from behind! Not from behind!"
Shen Rusong stood up slightly, looked back, and turned his head halfway, only to see Xunka lift up his hind hooves, and his extremely powerful hind legs kicked Shen Rusong away in the chest!
Shen Rusong flew four to five meters and fell on the muddy ground. A fishy sweetness surged up in his throat and he couldn't stop it. He choked out and overflowed on his collar. He struggled to get up, but his chest was almost suffocating. The pain made him fall back again.
"Lie down! Lie down!" Chen Xiaoxiang shouted. When the collapse occurred, she immediately went to hold the horse, but when she turned around, she saw Shen Rusong holding the horse.
How could he get past the frightened horse! Don't be afraid of being kicked to death!
Chen Xiaoxiang looked at Shen Rusong who was falling down, and suddenly panicked. She knew the power of her horse very well. If the horse kicked the child hard, it would easily break an adult's sternum!
