"Buzzing, buzzing..."
With the low engine sound of the armed Hummer, a team of soldiers from the delta Special Forces in North Carolina are sitting quietly on the vehicle, as the armored forces in front continue to move forward.
"Lieutenant vaunder..."
A command was transferred to the car where the commander of the special forces, Lieutenant ward Abramson, was located along with the communicator. "A notice came from above and ordered us to move forward and prepare for demining..."
"Demining?"
Lieutenant vaunder was stunned by the inexplicable order. He turned to the messenger, frowned and asked, "what''s the situation?"
"Four tanks ahead have been destroyed by anti tank mines, and the enemy is much more difficult than we thought..."
"Anti tank mine..."
Lieutenant vaund''s expression stagnated, and he nodded calmly. "Snow, take a team to team B, and the others will follow me..."
If the enemy really planted anti tank mines, the situation could be very bad.
As a special force that the U.S. Army Department personally ordered to be transferred to Yinchao for service, although they have only more than 50 people, they almost represent half of the combat effectiveness of the U.S. delta Special Force. After all, the combatants of the delta force have always been maintained at about 200 people.
After arriving at Yinchao, Lieutenant vaunder and his team were fully trusted by the commander Major William. They not only truthfully told them about the Autobots, but also cooperated with the Autobots. They did several cooperation drills and participated in the last battle in Tucson.
Unfortunately, since their training was all based on the opponent''s Decepticons from the beginning, Yinchao did not configure a special demining force, and was not well prepared in this regard.
"Everyone, the situation is likely to be worse than expected..."
After jumping out of the car, Lieutenant vaunder immediately trotted over the front tank unit that had slowed down its propulsion speed with a team of soldiers from the Delta, and soon came to a bombed M1A2 tank.
Because of the anti tank mines, the advancing tank troops have heard of the attack.
Armed helicopters kept circling in the sky. Their propulsion speed was very fast, and they had vaguely mastered all the nearby airspace.
However, because the radar has never searched for hostile combat units on the ground, the formation is obviously very cautious.
"Be careful, there is thunder ahead..."
The Marines of Yinchao, who were pushed behind the tank, reminded him, and lieutenant ward nodded his thanks.
With his wave, the delta team members who had received demining and explosive search drills quickly crossed the tank fleet and carefully searched the anti tank mines that might be buried on the road ahead under the protection of overhead armed helicopters.
"An anti tank mine was found in area b1a4..."
"I also have one here..."
With their rich experience, soldiers from the delta soon found several anti tank mines.
Because anti tank mines are basically triggered with weight requirements. For example, the trigger weight standard of American anti tank mines is 180 kg, so they will not be triggered easily, and it is not difficult to eliminate them.
Lieutenant vaunder soon found one too. After personally lifting the threat of an anti tank mine, he picked up the mine and frowned: "is it the standard anti tank mine of the army again?"
With his rich eyesight, he naturally recognized that the anti tank mine in his hand was the standard anti tank mine equipped by the U.S. military. This discovery immediately made him frown, "how did our equipment fall into the hands of those robots?"
I was puzzled when suddenly there was an explosion not far away.
Then came the scream. Lieutenant vaunder quickly handed over the cleared mines to a soldier and asked him to take them aside. He grabbed the communication equipment in his hand and asked, "where''s the explosion? What''s the situation?"
"Sir, damn it... There are anti infantry mines..."
There was an angry reply from the communication equipment soon.
Lieutenant vaunde''s heart sank when he heard the sound. Anti infantry mines are an extremely cruel weapon. Once exploded, they will cause mass destruction to infantry units.
Although some military films and TV dramas sometimes see soldiers escape with amazing reaction ability after stepping on anti infantry mines on the battlefield, it is actually just artistic processing.
The real reality is that even the most elite Special Forces soldiers accidentally step on an anti infantry mine, the probability of death on the spot is as high as more than 70%, and more than 20% of them are permanently disabled. Only a lot of 5% of them can save themselves.
The throat couldn''t stop swallowing. Lieutenant vaunder was a little difficult. They had been trained in anti riot and demining, but they focused on the type of counter-terrorism, because there were no special demining equipment and protective devices. If there were a large number of anti infantry mines on the current battlefield, even if they came from the elite delta Special Forces, there was nothing they could do.
After a moment of meditation, he decisively issued an order, "all personnel, stop demining after hearing the order. I will follow..."
Before he finished, suddenly another explosion came from 100 meters away, and the screams from the communication equipment were almost endless.
"Medical guard, there are wounded here..."
"Ryan, damn it, it''s jumping thunder..."
Obviously, another concealed anti infantry mine was triggered, and it was also an anti infantry jump mine that people couldn''t react at all.
The explosion immediately took away the soldier who had no time to respond, and also hurt several soldiers of the delta Special Forces nearby.
Seeing that the battle had just begun, I and others didn''t even see what the enemy looked like. There were injuries and attrition.
Lieutenant vaunder had to give orders to stop the search for anti tank mines. With an ugly face, he raised his communicator and asked Major William for instructions: "Sir, the situation is beyond expectation. There are mines everywhere, not only anti tank mines, but also anti infantry mines and jumping mines. We don''t have special demining equipment and protective devices. Brothers have begun to suffer casualties. I request to stop manual demining..."
The other side of the messenger was silent for a long time. Lieutenant vaunder heard a hoarse voice over there, "ask for approval. You should retreat two kilometers immediately. I have ordered the rear to prepare. There will be m270 rockets to clear a way for the tank..."
"Yes..."
