Chapter 109 Landmines
Chapter 109 Landmines
Although their route had been explored, it was not certain that all the mines had been discovered, so Huo Ci led the team very carefully.
Sure enough, two more undiscovered mine burial sites were discovered.
In the jungle, except for the occasional calls of birds and animals, everything was quiet.
Although the enemy's whereabouts have not been discovered yet, at least the other two teams have not stepped on any landmines.
"Captain Huo, we are just ahead."
After walking for a while, the soldier who had been leading the way finally stopped.
"We found the footprints here. It rained a few days ago and there is no sun here, so it is easy for traces to be left on the ground." The soldier pointed to the faint footprints on the ground.
The soil on the ground was indeed not yet dry. The enemy obviously did not consider this and forgot to erase all traces.
If you follow these footprints, you can easily find the direction they are heading.
"These guys are really cunning." Huo Ci's team walked forward for a while looking for footprints and couldn't help but frown.
Although the other party ignored the fact that they would leave footprints, their marching route was very covert and they kept taking detours through the jungle. If it weren't for these traces, it would have been very difficult to find them.
"Our people followed this and kept searching. Later, we found their traces not far ahead, so I rushed back to inform them." After a while, they arrived at the place where they found the enemy.
When the discovery was made, it was already last night. The soldier rushed back overnight and arrived early in the morning.
They searched for them, but a whole morning had passed. The enemies had already moved to another place, so they could only move forward by following the marks left by the people ahead.
...
On the other side, Zhang Wei led the team and searched the ground carefully, taking every step carefully.
After all, the mines in front of him were different from those in Huo Ci's place. The mines were still hidden and not directly exposed.
The grass was thick and dense, and only by observation could one spot the grass that had been dug up and covered again.
It is relatively easy to identify because it has a different direction from naturally grown grass, but it requires carefulness and is naturally slow.
The group walked forward while exploring, and soon found three or four mines.
If they hadn't been warned, their team would have been in danger if they accidentally stepped on it.
"These insidious little days, damn it..." Zhang Wei cursed softly as he looked at the exposed landmines.
He cursed even more foully in his heart, but the occasion was not appropriate, so he didn't say it out loud.
After walking for a while, Zhang Wei didn't find any more mines, which he found a bit strange.
【stop! 】
Suddenly, Zhang Wei stopped abruptly and gestured to the soldiers behind him.
【Take shelter where you are.】
The soldiers quickly dispersed and hid in the jungle.
Zhang Wei squatted in the grass, listening carefully to the sounds coming from the front.
There were three people in front, but they were not speaking Chinese. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be talking about their daily life on the island.
He couldn't understand what these people were saying, but they were laughing as they talked, and their laughter was extremely perverted.
Zhang Wei approached the three guys, wanting to see what they were doing.
He was talking happily about his life, as if he had already seen the scene of a landmine killing Chinese soldiers, and he didn't notice anyone approaching.
The three of them spread out and were laying mines on the ground.
Apart from these three people, no other Japanese soldiers were seen and no one knew where they were hiding.
But they are laying mines here, and the others should not be too far away. As long as we catch them, there will be no problem finding the others.
Zhang Wei cursed in his heart, retreated cautiously, and blew the bird whistle used for notification to let the other two teams come.
This jungle has not been developed and there are many birds and animals in it, which will call out from time to time. This bird whistle imitates the calls of birds and will not arouse suspicion here.
The whistle spread quickly. Huo Ci and Li Hongguang heard the fixed whistle frequency and reacted quickly, leading the team towards the source of the sound.
Zhang Wei waited for them to come over, but he didn't just wait there idly. He took advantage of this opportunity to use gestures to direct his men to surround the three Japanese soldiers.
Before Huo Ci and his men arrived, he had already led his men to surround the three little guys, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
[Captain Huo and his men are here.]
A soldier made gestures to Zhang Wei.
There are only three people on the opposite side, but Zhang Wei's team has quite a few people, nine in total including him, so if a fight really breaks out it will be three against one.
This can't be impossible to defeat, right?
Even if we really can't win, isn't there still Huo Ci coming over now?
After thinking about it, Zhang Wei decided to take immediate action to control these three little guys first.
【Take action now! 】
Following his gesture, the warriors who had been hiding immediately rushed towards the three people.
The Japanese soldier who was originally chatting and laughing was frightened by the man who suddenly jumped out. He subconsciously took out his gun and shot without hesitation.
However, in his haste, he failed to aim and missed anyone.
"Fuck!" Zhang Wei cursed. He didn't expect these three guys to be so tough.
The three Japanese soldiers were holding guns, but there were so many people on their side that it was not suitable for them to use guns. If they accidentally hit one of their own people, it would be troublesome.
"Zhang Wei, find a chance to unload your weapons first!" Huo Ci arrived in time, saw this scene, and quickly reminded.
Relying on the fact that he couldn't understand Chinese these days, Huo Ci didn't use other ways to remind him.
"Okay." After hearing this, Zhang Wei asked some of the soldiers to attract the attention of these little guys, while he led another group of people to approach and prepare to disarm the opponent.
The three Japanese soldiers were mumbling "baga" and "gahli gah" and no one knew what they were saying, but it was obvious that their faces were not happy and it seemed that they were not saying anything nice.
"Be careful." The three Japanese soldiers fired their guns randomly, making it difficult to get close.
Zhang Wei had to remind the soldiers around him to put their own safety first!
"Break through on the right, quickly!" Zhang Wei gestured to the soldiers.
"Use mines!" One of the Japanese soldiers seemed to have discovered their intention and reminded the others in Japanese.
They came here just to plant landmines, so naturally they still had some on their bodies that were not buried yet.
After the Japanese soldier finished speaking, he immediately picked up one of them.
Seeing this, one of the other two picked up the other, but only the one who started out threw the mine towards Zhang Wei.
"Get down!" Zhang Wei's eyes widened with anger and he shouted quickly.
These days are so cruel!
They actually dare to throw mines directly at such a close distance. Aren’t they afraid of killing themselves?
All the soldiers quickly protected their heads and lay on the ground.
When the mine was thrown over, the three Japanese soldiers spotted the gap, turned around and ran, dispersing as they ran without stopping at all.
boom--
Then, there was a violent explosion, and the entire land was shaken...
