Chapter 184: One Man's War (1)
"Buzz ......"
With the muffled sound of the engines of the armed Humvees, a squad of Delta Special Forces soldiers from North Carolina sat quietly in their vehicles, advancing with the armored forces ahead.
"Lieutenant Vaind ......"
An order was transferred to the car of Lieutenant Vajnd Abramson, the commander of the special forces, along with the communicator, "a notice has come from above, ordering us to move forward and prepare for demining......
"Demining?"
Lieutenant Vaulnd was stunned by this inexplicable order, he turned his head to look at the signal corps, frowned and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
"Four tanks have already been destroyed by anti-tank mines ahead, and the enemy is much more intractable than we thought......"
"Anti-tank mine ......"
Lieutenant Vainde's expression froze, and then he nodded with a calm face, "Snow, you take a team of people to Team B, and the others come with me......"
If the enemy really planted anti-tank mines, then the situation could be very bad.
As a special unit personally ordered by the U.S. Department of War to be transferred to serve in the sound nest, Lieutenant Vainde, although they only have more than 50 people, they almost represent half of the combat effectiveness of the U.S. Delta Special Forces, after all, the combat personnel of the Delta Forces have always been maintained at about 200 people.
After coming to the sound nest, Lieutenant Warnd and the others had the full trust of the commander, Major William, who not only told them the truth about the Autobots, but also Lieutenant Warnd and they had cooperated with the Autobots several times and participated in the last battle of Tucson.
Embarrassingly, because from the beginning their training was all based on the fact that their opponent was the Decepticons, the sound nest did not have a dedicated demining unit, and it was also poorly prepared in this regard.
"Attention, everyone, the situation is likely to be worse than you think......"
Jumping out of the car, Lieutenant Vaynd immediately led a group of soldiers from the Delta, trotted quickly past the tank units in front of them, which had slowed down their advance, and soon came to a bombed M1A2 tank.
Because of the anti-tank mines, the tank units advancing in front have already heard the attack.
The helicopter gunships were constantly circling in the sky, and their advance was very fast, and they had already faintly controlled all the nearby airspace.
However, since the radar never detected hostile combat units on the ground, the formation was clearly very cautious.
"Be careful, there's a thunder ...... ahead"
The Soundnest Marines who were following behind the tank were reminded of it, and Lieutenant Vaynd nodded in gratitude.
With a wave of his hand, the Delta team members, who had undergone demining and explosives search drills, quickly crossed the tank convoy and, under the protection of the helicopter gunships overhead, cautiously searched the road ahead for anti-tank mines that might be buried in front of them.
"An anti-tank mine ...... found in the B1A4 area"
"I have a ...... here, too"
Soldiers from the Delta, relying on their extensive experience, quickly discovered several anti-tank mines.
Because anti-tank mines basically have weight requirements when they are triggered, for example, the trigger weight standard of American anti-tank mines is 180 kilograms, so they will not be easily triggered, and it is not difficult to eliminate them.
Lieutenant Vaynder soon found one, and after personally removing the threat of an anti-tank mine, he picked up the mine and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning: "Is it the army's standard anti-tank mine again?" ”
With his rich eyesight, he naturally recognized at once that the anti-tank mine in his hand was the standard anti-tank mine equipped by the US military, and this discovery made him frown suddenly, "How could our equipment fall into the hands of those robots?" ”
Just as I was puzzled, suddenly an explosion was heard not far away.
Then the screams came, and Lieutenant Vaulnd hurriedly handed the cleared mines to a soldier and asked him to take them aside and put them away, while he grabbed the communication equipment in his hand and asked, "Where did the explosion come from, and what is the situation?" ”
"Sir, damn it...... There are anti-infantry mines......"
On the other side of the communication equipment, there was soon an angry reply.
Lieutenant Vainde's heart sank when he heard this, the anti-infantry mine, which is an extremely cruel weapon, once it explodes, it will cause massive damage to infantry units.
Although some military-themed movies and TV series will occasionally see soldiers who step on anti-infantry mines on the battlefield and escape with their amazing reflexes, in fact, it is just artistic processing.
The real reality is that even the most elite special forces have a chance of dying on the spot of more than 70 percent after accidentally stepping on an anti-infantry mine, and there is a more than 20 percent chance of being disabled for life, and there is only a 5 percent chance that it is possible to save themselves.
The throat couldn't stop swallowing, Lieutenant Vaind was a little difficult, they have been trained in riot and mine clearance, but the focus is on the anti-terrorism type, because there is no special demining equipment and protection devices, if there are really a large number of anti-infantry mines on the current battlefield, even if they come from the elite Delta special forces, they are helpless.
When Shen Shen groaned for a moment, he decisively gave the order, "All personnel, stop and continue to clear mines after hearing the order." I'll talk to ......."
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly another explosion came from a hundred and ten meters away, and the screams from the communication equipment were almost endless.
"Medic, here are the wounded......"
"Wren, damn it, it's the thunder ......"
Obviously, another very hidden anti-infantry mine has been triggered, and this is still an anti-infantry jump mine that people can't react to at all.
The explosion immediately took away the soldier who had no time to react, and also caused damage to several nearby Delta Special Forces soldiers.
Seeing that the battle had just begun, he and the others didn't even see what the enemy looked like, and there were already injuries and attrition.
Lieutenant Vaind had to give the order to stop the search for anti-tank mines, and with an ugly face, he raised the communicator and asked Major William for instructions: "Sir, the situation is beyond expectations. There are mines everywhere, not only anti-tank mines, but also anti-infantry mines and jump mines, we don't have special demining equipment and protective devices, the brothers have already started to suffer casualties, I ask for an end to manual demining......"
The communicator was silent for a long time, and then Lieutenant Vaulnd heard a hoarse voice from the other side, "I ask for permission, you should immediately retreat two kilometers." I have ordered the rear to prepare, and soon there will be M270 rocket launchers to clear a way for the tank to move......"
"Yes......
