Chapter 785: Mine Clearance
Chapter 785: Mine Clearance
"boom!"
The bouncing mine exploded, sending shrapnel flying everywhere.
Some shrapnel even hit the big tree they were leaning against, causing the tree to shake.
"Damn, it's really a mine jump!"
"Fortunately, I didn't go over there right away, otherwise I would be doomed!"
"How did he find out!?"
"This look is comparable to a mine detector!"
Several soldiers around him, and even all the soldiers behind him, were all filled with astonishment, and some even gave the marshal a thumbs-up while he was leaning against a big tree.
When the Japanese on the top of the mountain heard the thunder, they immediately laughed happily.
Although they couldn't see the situation below, they knew that the US troops had entered the minefield. At that time, as long as the minefields were detonated one after another, they could open fire and kill these US troops.
Below, the remaining four Japanese soldiers heard the thunder and quickly popped their heads out.
"Yoshi, they have entered the minefield, get ready for battle!"
The four devils set up their rifles and machine guns respectively.
But who would have thought that a cloud of smoke would emerge from the explosion site and quickly dissipate into the woods, and there was not a single body or wounded person on the ground.
"Bagayalu, where are the people?"
"Bah!"
Yuan Shuai had already flashed out from the big tree and was shooting forward.
The others followed suit and fired forward.
Rifle and machine gun bullets were fired forward.
The two devils' heads were blown up.
The remaining two Japanese soldiers quickly squatted down.
Looking at the corpse with its head blown off, the two Japanese soldiers were so scared that their faces turned pale and cold sweat broke out.
"Bakayaloo, retreat, retreat, retreat!"
Among the two Japanese soldiers who died, one was the squad leader.
The squad leader was gone, and there were only two of them left in the entire squad.
The two Japanese soldiers no longer dared to stay and quickly retreated along the trench.
"Don't shoot!"
Yuan Shuai quickly shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, someone fired a shot anyway, and the bullet hit a guy in the back.
However, upon hearing the sound, everyone quickly stopped firing.
After all, the Japanese were in the trench, so the remaining Japanese soldier quickly continued to retreat.
“Why don’t you shoot!”
Everyone looked at Yuan Shuai with confusion.
"Nonsense, this guy must know the minefield. If we let him retreat, he will lead the way for us. If you kill him, we will have to find a route again! Fortunately, one of them survived!"
Yuan Shuai secretly let out a long sigh of relief.
"But what about the front? There must be a minefield ahead!"
Everyone looked at him with worry.
"Find stones and clear mines!"
"You guys, be alert!"
Yuan Shuai gritted his teeth helplessly.
After all, this thing is a bouncing mine. Although the killing radius of the Japanese's bouncing mine is about fifteen meters, it is an air explosion with great power. Even if you lie down, you will be killed or injured.
He could only try his best to find ways to deal with these bouncing mines. Otherwise, as long as one person stepped on a mine, their entire class might be wiped out.
Several people held guns and stood on guard, while others hurriedly looked for stones.
Yuan Shuai cut a piece of wood about one foot long, tied the two ends with bandages, tied them together to form a triangle, then connected a rope to the triangle and threw the wood more than ten meters away.
The wood fell to the ground and Yuan Shuai began to pull the rope.
The triangular piece of wood began to be pulled towards him.
But soon, the wood triggered a jumping mine.
After a while, a jumping mine jumped up and exploded.
The shrapnel broke the ropes.
"Damn it, is this even possible?!"
All American troops were stunned.
But soon they all started laughing.
"What about the stone?"
"No need?"
"Nonsense, it must work! Didn't you see the rope was blown off?"
Yuan Shuai yelled at them.
Soon, everyone brought him the stones they found.
Yuan Shuai picked up a stone and threw it forward.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Several bouncing mines and trip mines were blown up by his stones.
The American soldiers on both sides were extremely excited.
"This guy is like a minesweeper!"
"Fortunately, he is leading the team, otherwise, I don't know what to do!"
"Isn't it? The more I look at him, the more handsome he becomes!"
"Hahaha!"
It’s so much fun here.
The company commander behind him was so anxious that he gritted his teeth.
"What the hell is going on up ahead!"
He couldn't see the specific situation ahead, so he could only ask the signalman to contact.
"Report, Yuan Shuai is using stones to clear mines!"
"What?! Using stones to clear mines?! He, he, how can he use stones to clear mines? How can stones clear mines!"
Not only the company commander, but all the soldiers were confused.
"The people over there said that he just threw a stone from a long distance away and it hit the mine!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Is this okay?!"
Everyone couldn't believe their ears.
This method of mine clearance was the first time they had heard of it.
However, only the sound of mine explosions was heard, and no wailing was heard, which shows that what the signalman said was true.
Are stones really used to detonate landmines?
The Japanese were dumbfounded.
The escaped Japanese soldier ran to the top of the mountain to report the situation. The squad leader on the mountain was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Bagayalu, these white people are so powerful, they can even use stones to clear mines!"
"Then what should we do? Should we open fire? They should be within fifty meters of the explosion area. We can bomb them with mortars and shoot them with heavy machine guns!"
Someone immediately made a suggestion.
"No!"
The team leader immediately reached out to stop him.
"They only have one squad. Even if they can clear the mines, they can only clear one path! We keep waiting! Once they pass the minefield, the large force behind them will surely come over. When we open fire, their large force will surely scatter and trip the mines! Keep waiting!"
The Japanese squad leader had no other choice.
After all, there are only more than forty people here.
And he didn't know how many American troops there were.
In his opinion, since it was a squad of scouts, there should be at least a company of American soldiers behind them.
Although he occupied the commanding heights, the trees were dense and he was unable to kill an entire company of American soldiers with such a small number of men.
What's more, he knew that the people coming this time were the U.S. Marines, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.
What happened just now is enough to explain everything.
Just as he expected, Yuan Shuai was unable to clear all the mines in the minefield and could only clear a route.
Yuan Shuai pushed the route forward bit by bit.
Soon, they had reached the halfway point.
Suddenly, he stopped again.
"What's going on now?"
Everyone looked at him in astonishment.
"What are you looking at me for? The stones are gone! Hurry up and find some!"
Yuan Shuai's words made everyone blush with embarrassment.
They were so focused on admiring how Yuan Shuai cleared the mines that they even forgot to look for stones.
The soldiers hurried to look for stones. If there were no stones, they followed Yuan Shuai's example and dug mud, then wrapped it with cloth and bandages to make fist-sized mud balls.
