Chapter 414: Breaking through the minefield
The euphoria lasted only a short time, and now that the crisis was over, a new question now arose for Gao Yang: how to continue the attack.
Just experienced a life-and-death situation, but Soult and Tommy are veterans of battle, although fear is inevitable, but the difference between them and ordinary people is that they can get rid of fear in a short time, and this is the value of veterans, they will be afraid like ordinary people, but they can restrain their negative emotions, and they also know when to be afraid and when not to be afraid.
Sirter and Tommy rested for about five minutes, and the two of them regained their composure almost at the same time, and when Tommy came to his senses, he immediately stood up on the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and said in a deep voice: "I'm fine, now I'll talk about the minefield." ”
Gao Yang nodded and said, "How about it?" Can we cross the minefield?"
Tommy said without hesitation: "I think it's no problem, the minefield laid by the enemy is of an early warning nature, although it is a chain of mines, but the layout is relatively simple, it is to lay out the longest blockade line with as few mines as possible, almost no depth, that is, as long as you break through a very narrow blockade line, you can pass through the minefield." ”
"What reason are you in a hurry to make this judgment?"
Tommy squatted on the ground, took a branch in his hand, and began to draw a schematic diagram on the ground, saying: "The minefield is new, I don't know if they have completed the work of surrounding the entire camp with the minefield, but if the enemy intends to use mines to prevent and kill possible enemy attacks, they should use this trapezoidal minefield, narrow in front and wide in the back." When someone touches a mine in front of them. Mines in the back will also be triggered. And even if a mine is discovered, it cannot be removed in a short period of time.
Now the mine array in front of us is arranged horizontally, and the enemy uses a very long tripwire, and there are multiple tripwires to contain each other, the enemy is laying mines on the most convenient terrain for people to pass, and some difficult places are just hanging a line, that is. Even if someone triggers the tripwire, the mine may explode at a great distance, so I think the enemy has just laid out a minefield that mainly serves as an early warning, of course, on important routes, it is a lethal and early warning, and on secondary routes, such as difficult to pass through areas, it only serves as an early warning. ”
Soult said loudly, "Man, if it's just an early warning thunderstorm, it's a better choice to just use a tripwire, right?"
Gao Yang had the same misgivings as Sirte. Judging from the way he saw the minefields being laid, the tripwires of the mines were all high-level tripwires hanging in the air. Instead of the common tripwire used to hang the foot low.
"The enemy hangs the tripwire of the mine relatively high, and this is done to avoid being touched by the animal tripwire, which is in line with the characteristics of early warning minefields, but if they only plan to use the mine to warn, why will they bury loose mines? If the animal steps on it, not only will there be a false warning problem, but it will also waste a lot of mines in an area. ”
After hearing Gao Yang's question, Tommy nodded and said: "What you said is right, but the answer I have actually said just now, that is, the enemy chooses the key route to lay a lethal chain of mines, and the reason why they will bury mines on the ground without fear of animal triggers is because they have a strong smell on the mines where they are planted, and I can smell a stinky smell when clearing mines, I don't know what the source of the smell is, but it must be a smell that makes animals with a more sensitive sense of smell avoid." ”
Soult shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are very few large animals in the rainforest, and the large animals that move on the ground here are mainly Xiyi and the Great Aneater, both of which have a very sensitive sense of smell, and if they are sprayed with a chemical smell that makes them afraid, they really don't have to worry too much about the problem of animal thunder." ”
Gao Yang immediately said: "Very good, I understand, that means we can continue to prepare for the attack." ”
Tommy looked at his watch and said, "It's more than two hours until dark, and there's enough time, I'll just find a safer route and get rid of the mines." ”
Grolev said: "So, what should we do when we evacuate? This time we were lucky, we arrived here after the rain, and we could easily spot the mine tripwires, but after dark, it was troublesome." ”
Soult said loudly: "It's okay, I know the path from Teodulo's camp to the outside world, don't worry, no one is stupid enough to mine their way, unless they want to die." ”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "Very good, worker bee, look at you, do you need to rest for a while?"
Tommy shook his head and said, "No, I'm not that vulnerable, you guys are waiting for me here, I'll find the route and come back and take you there." ”
Tommy went to find a safe route on his own, he had just walked around the gates of hell, but then he would soon have to face the mines again, and I have to say that Tommy was still very courageous.
They waited intently for news from Tommy, but after Tommy left, Lucica said to Bruce, who was beside her, "Who is he?"
Since Lucica woke up, she was still silent and didn't care about anything in the outside world, neither calling Pelano nor giving Soult a second look at the sudden joining, which Gao Yang was happy to see, and Bruce, who knew the inside story, was also happy that Lucica would not ask to call Pelano.
Soult said he knew the way to Camp Teodulo, and Lucica finally got her doubts, and after hearing Lucica's question, Bruce hesitated and said, "It's a friend of the rams." ”
Bruce didn't know if Lucica would ask to call Pelano next, but Lucica only looked at Soult deeply, but there was no movement, and after being silent for a long time, she whispered to Bruce, "Xie Luxie." ”
Bruce looked at Lucika in amazement and said, "What? Are you thanking me for treating you? If so, you don't have to thank me, I'm a military doctor, and it's my duty to treat you." ”
Although it will be painful for Lucika to be bitten by bullet ants, the main danger is her allergic reaction, and Bruce has been by Lucica's side for the past two days, of course, not for any special reason, just because Lucica is the only one who needs his care.
Gao Yang saw that Bruce and Lucica were talking, Lucica had always had no need to say a word, so he was a little worried, and Bruce knew what he was worried about, and quietly made an OK gesture to Gao Yang, Gao Yang relieved his heart and no longer paid attention to what Bruce and Lucica were saying, but continued to pay attention to Tommy's actions.
It must have been careless to enter the minefield, and it was even more cautious to choose a safe route, and it took about an hour for Gao Yang to receive Tommy's reply.
"Boss, I've found a safe route, I'm going to start clearing obstacles, it's not very far away from you, so everyone should pay attention to safety, repeat, I'm going to start clearing obstacles, everyone be careful. ”
Gao Yang immediately said: "The ram receives, you must be careful yourself, if it is difficult to clean up, give up, repeat, give up if it is difficult, don't take risks." ”
It took a long time to search and confirm the location of the mines, but it didn't take long to clear the tripwires of the mines, but after only five minutes, Tommy said on the intercom: "The obstacle has been cleared, I want to look ahead to make sure there are no new minefields ahead, waiting for my news." ”
"Well done, be careful. ”
After waiting for about twenty minutes again, Tommy finally sent back the message: "I explored about a hundred meters forward, and found no new minefields, and now I am going back, waiting for me." ”
It would get dark in the rainforest very quickly, and as soon as the sun set, it would be almost immediately plunged into darkness, Gao Yang looked at his watch, it was less than forty minutes before sunset, and they had to quickly get through the minefield and get to safety within forty minutes.
Gao Yang said loudly: "Be ready, wait for the worker bees to come back, set off immediately, and be sure to reach safety before dark." ”
It took a short time for Tommy to come back, but it also took ten minutes, and as soon as Tommy came back, he immediately put on his backpack, and after carrying all his belongings, he waved his hand and said: "I can only use a relatively tight formation, keep a distance of three meters, follow the people in front of me, and never leave my route at will." ”
Gao Yang said randomly: "Understood, Lucica, inform your people, big dog, rabbit, you two finish, toad, can opener, you walk behind me, little fly and guide walk in the middle, now let's go." ”
Tommy's pace is very slow, although the time is relatively tight, but he still can't be careless in order to grab time, he must come steadily, so Tommy's speed can't be too fast.
Gao Yang followed Tommy's skills, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, their team formation was very dense, in case of a thunderbolt, this team would definitely not die or be seriously injured, and none of them would be able to run.
After slowly but without danger of passing through the minefield cordon, it was almost dark by the time the team reached the end of the route that Tommy had scouted and marked.
At this time, Gao Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, although it was already dark, but they were only about four hundred meters away from Teodulo's camp in a straight line, even if it was not dark, they could not continue to move forward.
Gao Yang waved his hand and said: "Rest on the spot, rabbit, big dog, you two are on alert, two hours later, I will be close to the toad to investigate, and the others will be ready for battle, and they will be ready to respond or launch an attack after receiving the order." ”
Soult raised his hand and said, "Sir, I ask to go with you to investigate, I am familiar with the terrain. ”
After Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, he nodded and said, "Agree to your request, and in two hours, you will arrive with me and the toad to reconnoitre." (To be continued......)
