Chapter 441: Whatever It Takes

An Zhiyuan looked at the topographic map in front of him, and his heart was anxious, the higher-level leaders had already called! They were asked to open the last supply line at all costs within 48 hours, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law.

He is not afraid of military law, but the problem he has to face at all costs is the problem.

The casualties now are too great.

What to do?

"Battalion commander, the engineer corps asked to go up again. The deputy company commander reported.

The sapper platoon was already dying.

What would have been an entire platoon is now almost gone.

Or did they send it to their deaths.

Even if he didn't die, he was seriously injured.

The odious thing is that the enemy is too cunning.

"Let them rest now, tell them that even if they want to go up, it will be dark tomorrow morning, and now they will only die in vain, and they will all eat well, rest well, and raise their spirits, and they will have the strength to go up tomorrow." An Zhiyuan's eyes were bloodshot.

The sapper platoon was already demoralized, and they couldn't push more for three days.

A glimmer of light in the sky heralds the beginning of a new day.

An Zhiyuan personally led the team to be responsible for the safety of the engineer squad, these days they are clearing mines, and at the same time they have to deal with those shells hidden in the distance, and they must be protected by soldiers who return fire, otherwise the casualties of the sappers will be greater.

Today he wants to see what kind of net the other party has laid.

Everyone does not approve, but who can convince.

Early in the morning, An Zhiyuan led the team, and platoon guns and heavy machine guns protected the ten engineer squad members to go up.

Stepping into the edge of the minefield, An Zhiyuan can already see that the minefield has changed greatly, the original smooth road has now become potholes, those are all left by shells or caused by the explosion of mines, it is conceivable that those places are stained with the blood of comrades-in-arms.

They just arrived.

The other side seemed to have sensed their arrival, and a cannonball exploded far away.

It can be seen that the other party seems to be less interested in their sapper demining, and the original excitement may no longer show any interest.

Even this cannonball came at so casually and without a goal.

After we returned fire, the whole surroundings fell silent.

It seems that the other party has no intention of stopping them at all.

The men of the sapper squad had already rushed forward, they were wearing thick protective suits, wearing steel helmets, holding metal detectors in their hands, although they knew that these clothes and steel helmets could not guarantee their lives at all, but none of them retreated.

An Zhiyuan watched from a distance as these sapper soldiers moved forward inch by inch, because the other party was also very cunning, taking advantage of the night, they would sneak up some mines, and if they didn't pay attention to the original place, it was likely that new mines would have appeared.

Even if An Zhiyuan had already sent additional manpower to patrol the surroundings at night, it would be useless, because this road was not only smooth for them, but for the other party, this road was also accessible in all directions, surrounded by barren mountains and mountains, hiding in the grass, and the other party was more familiar with the terrain than them.

One of the sappers suddenly stood and fell for some reason, and then the other two sappers who were closest to him were also taken down, and the position where the three fell was like a flower, a mine was triggered, and the explosion resounded in the sky in an instant.

Fortunately, all but three of them were injured by the explosion! No one was found dead, but they were all in the same place and could not move at all.

Everyone froze instantly.

An Zhiyuan took off the helmet on his head, threw it to the guard next to him, and rushed out with an arrow step.

"Cover the battalion commander!" the deputy company commander had no time to stop it, so he could only shout from behind.
