Military career is an indelible memory in life. Some of these experiences may never be experienced in daily life. In peaceful times, there was a group of people who survived in the smoke of artillery fire. They were the "scrap steel old iron" in the shooting range
With the increase in the caliber and range of modern various artillery caliber and range, generally, the shooting ranges will basically not consider setting them around the city in site selection and construction. For example, artillery ranges are often located in remote unmanned areas, such as those deep mountains and old forests. These places often have poor economic development, and the main source of economic resources of local villagers is to farm or go out to work. After each target exercise, the shell skins that will be left in the shooting range have become the "hot commodity" in the eyes of fellow villagers. How much does one shell skin cost? Maybe it can be sold as scrap iron or a kitchen knife
Ordinary people will think that living near the shooting range will be very dangerous, and they wish they could get farther away from the shells, the better, but in the eyes of fellow villagers around the shooting range, this has become a smooth road to get rich.
At that time, the market price of scrap iron was about 0.35 yuan per kilogram. When the "benefit" was good, the fellow villagers could pick up nearly 15 kilograms a day, and at most they could pick up 25 to 50 kilograms. If the whole family joined forces, the income would be higher.
Locals are more professional than being a soldier. Ordinary artillery soldiers may only know the artillery they use. When the fellow villagers hear the roar of artillery, they will know what type of artillery they are firing and what type of artillery shells they are using. Moreover, in terms of professionalism, killing African black uncles in seconds will move forward slowly with the barrage of shells. The man rides a motorcycle to open the way for reconnaissance, and the older walking handheld tools will sweep the end. The "step-tank collaboration" tactics are extremely skillful.
Specifically, as long as a shell lands, sometimes even if it continues to shoot artillery immediately, the local fellow motorcycle army will accelerate into the bomb drop zone, and a large magnet is installed on the motorcycle to absorb the shell fragments. If it is a little deeper, it will use a shovel pick to dig scrap steel. There are too many people who pick up shells behind
, and the competition is under great pressure. Some even go together for the whole family. As soon as the cannon sounds, they will rush into the bomb drop zone and race against death. Because of fear of hurting the masses, the troops had to suspend the live-fire shooting that should have been continuously carried out from time to time and pick up shell skins, which not only threatened the lives of the people at all times, but also directly affected the development of military training.
Many people will think, won’t you let them in if you can’t let them in? Although
is a specially set up shooting range, there are warning monuments on each border, and it is worthy of being beaten to death inside. But considering the concern that people are injured by accident, they will send manpower to search and persuade them before shooting each time. After the search, they will set up a warning on the periphery. However, because the shooting area is too large, it is impossible to achieve a warning of several meters. Usually, they take advantage of the gaps of the guard post and ride a motorcycle in. The guard post cannot catch up with both legs. Some fellow villagers can even lurk in a few days in advance. The shooting range is too big, and there are pits and trunks everywhere. It is too easy to hide a few people. As soon as the searcher leaves, they will come out to pick up shell skins.
Whether it is an unexploded bomb or a shell skin, it is a high-risk situation. An unexploded bomb is an uncertain time bomb. It may explode if it touches it. It may not explode for decades, and some shell skins after the explosion are also dangerous. This is not described in detail. Every year, people are injured or killed by picking up shell skins. After being killed, they will come to the unit to make trouble and ask for money. It is not okay to not give it to tens of millions of millions. Hi, there is no way, people will not reason with you at all. Who makes us the soldiers of the people...
People in the world are busy and busy, just to try to break a few taels of silver, but this broken silver can relieve the world's melancholy, protect the elderly for thousands of years, and enter the school, and have firewood, rice, oil, salt, and grains. So many years have passed, and I don’t know if those scrap steel old irons are still engaged in such dangerous scrap collection activities, but they have indeed improved their lives with their own hands, and the working people are the most honorable! On this occasion of the National Day, I wish you all the hard-working scrap steel old irons good health and prosperity and strength!
