"Boom!" There were several more explosions, and several Somali soldiers fell to the ground screaming.

The cruelty of a mine lies in the fact that the people who are blown over by it are only injured but not killed, such as breaking the soles of their feet and calves.

That's what makes it scary, because the wounded on the battlefield are much more troublesome than those who die on the spot, and the dead can be left alone and put away the bodies after the war or even do nothing. And for the injured person, it is generally necessary to snatch him from the line of fire and bandage him...... This is also the reason why the amount of gunpowder of the mines is set to only injure people.

But this obviously does not have much effect in Somalia, because they do not help the wounded themselves.

Several of the soldiers who had fallen to the ground understood this, so some of them chose to climb back on their own, but this was obviously unrealistic, and all he could do was leave a long trail of blood on the sand and then collapse on the ground motionless.

Others compromised with reality, holding the AK47 around their necks with difficulty, reaching out and pulling the trigger...... This is the cruelty of Somalia, or it cannot be said to be cruel, because human life here is not worth anything in the first place, and they will die of disease, hunger and poverty, if not on the battlefield.

The difference is only in the way in which they die, and that death may still be a pleasure or a value, because they do not have to continue to suffer here, and their death can bring a pension to their loved ones, at least "substantially" for Somalis.

The enemy's offensive slowed down again, some people stayed where they were, and some even retreated.

But under the shouts of the officers, they finally mustered up the courage to continue advancing.

They chose a conservative approach, using grenades to clear mines...... The grenade exploded forward as it went.

This was a bit of a surprise to Qin Tian, because Somali soldiers usually should retreat or rout in such situations.

Later, Qin Tian learned that the reason why the army in front of him could still hold on like this was because the "Heavy Rain" offered them double the price and a considerable pension, and even promised that killing an enemy would receive an additional reward of 1,000 US dollars...... There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and this price is enough for Somali soldiers, especially officers who can take a share of it, to urge them to charge.

But of course Qin Tian would not let them continue to advance so easily, and he immediately ordered the base troops to launch a counterattack.

The troops at the base were ready for battle early in the morning, and immediately after receiving the battle order, they set up light and heavy machine guns and fired frantically at the enemy, and in an instant, dense bullets rained down on the enemy.

The attacking enemy immediately lay down and return fire.

This is the right thing to do, as fighting between Somali militants usually takes place in this way, lying on the ground or in bunkers and fighting each other indiscriminately, and eventually defeats either side due to lack of ammunition or psychological overwhelm.

But this time, it's clearly different.

This was felt most vividly by Colonel Mwell, who was in charge of the attack...... If it was in the past, the opponent would have been frightened by the bombardment of his own mortars, and then as soon as the troops charged, the opponent would have probably fled.

But now, Mwell feels a powerlessness that he has never felt before:

Blind and aimless mortar bombardment simply could not pose a threat to the opponent in the trenches.

The anti-aircraft machine gun could be imposing at first, but when the opponent began to return fire, more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns were suppressed without exception, and even a few pickup trucks equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns were blown up by the opponent with people and vehicles...... They did not move the anti-aircraft machine gun off the pickup, such a large target, it is strange that it is not suppressed by the other side.

As for the AK47s in the hands of the soldiers, they did make a "bang" in the hands of the soldiers, but at this time they were still five hundred meters away from the enemy, and there was no doubt that they were just fighting indiscriminately. And the other side was able to kill Mwell's men one by one.

"What's going on?" Mwell yelled at the adjutant, "Are they white?" ”

As a rule, only whites have such combat effectiveness.

"No, Colonel!" The adjutant looked across with a telescope and replied: "They are Somalis!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Colonel!" The adjutant replied: "But they fought like whites, and sniper rifles......"

The adjutant was right, this was the result of the training, and there were indeed a few sniper rifles in them, which were some of the sniper rifles that had been withdrawn from Unit "S".

Before that, snipers like Billy and Archill used a variety of sniper rifles, including British, American, and Austrian...... After all, everyone's preferences are different.

Since joining Unit "S" to uniformly use American-style sniper rifles, these sniper rifles have been returned to the base units and handed over to some soldiers with relatively good marksmanship for training accordingly.

This is obviously useful in Somalia, where AK47s are commonly used, especially in the desert, because it can form an "out-of-range attack" advantage, and it can even be used with anti-aircraft machine guns to suppress enemy anti-aircraft machine guns more accurately.

As it is now, at a distance of five hundred meters, it is not at all a matter for sniper rifles and anti-aircraft machine guns of the base troops, but for the enemy...... The anti-aircraft machine gun was suppressed, and the AK47 could not reach the range, so it was completely pressed and beaten.

After holding on for another ten minutes, Mwell watched his subordinates fall one after another in a pool of blood, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, and ordered loudly: "Retreat, all retreat!" ”

The survivors receded like a tidal wave, leaving behind dozens of corpses, a dozen more or even just wounded, shouting loudly for someone to help them escape, but no one paid attention to them.

Waiting for them is nothing more than a few results: suicide, excessive blood loss, death from thirst.

But there's another ending...... One soldier bandaged his wounds and persisted until the night, and then crawled through the minefield step by step into the base of Jira to surrender.

Because he knows very well that when the injury is useless, the result of climbing back is to be cleared. He had heard of the "Jira" base before and knew that it was a place where he could farm and feed himself, and he thought it was possible to survive here as long as he could still work.

He made the right decision.

The most important thing is that Qin Tian intends to use this to fight psychological warfare.

As soon as the enemy retreated, the base troops let out a burst of cheers, and some soldiers even jumped out of the trenches excitedly and fired at the enemy...... This is forbidden by al-Qaeda forces, but African tribes have long had a habit of seeing it as a demonstration against the enemy or a declaration of their strength.
