Chapter 3232 Mine Clearance Team

"goodbye!"

When Meng Shaoyuan said these two words, the fate of the Japanese headed by Noma Takao was already sealed.

"boom"!

The Japanese troops on the opposite side opened fire again.

A Japanese prisoner of war next to Noma Takao fell to the ground.

"idiot!"

Noma Takao shouted angrily.

There is no way forward or retreat.

Behind it is the muzzle of that damn Japanese Kageyama Nosuke.

In front, there is also the muzzle of the Japanese gun.

And what they wanted to kill was another group of Japanese prisoners of war.

Since Japan brazenly launched war, has anything been more ridiculous than this?

Next to him, another companion fell to the ground.

Noma Takao was completely in fear and collapse.

He suddenly screamed strangely and ran forward.

Behind him, Kageyama Nosuke raised his gun.

But one person held him down.

Meng Shaoyuan!

"I don't believe in fate. I always think that fate is in my own hands."

Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "But there are some things that I have to believe. Good people may not be rewarded with good things, but bad people will definitely not be rewarded with good things!"

"boom"!

At this moment, an explosion sounded.

The wheel of fortune mentioned by Meng Shaoyuan has come true.

Takao Noma stepped on a landmine.

In fact, fate is really a rather mysterious thing.

Some people believe it, and some people always believe that fate is in their own hands.

Where is Meng Shaoyuan?

His view is simple, this road is full of mines.

If Takao Noma ran like this without stepping on a landmine, then God would really be disappointed.

Where is Takao Noma?

His misfortune was because he met Meng Shaoyuan.

He could have walked into a prisoner of war camp as a prisoner of war and at least survived.

He can pass all the responsibilities onto Iwabuchi Sanji.

It's a pity that Meng Shaoyuan will never allow him to live any longer.

He is "lucky" again.

Because even though he stepped on a landmine, he didn't die.

However, one of his legs was blown off, and a large blood hole appeared in his lower body.

He screamed at the top of his lungs and begged for help.

Of course the US military will not save him.

The Japanese army would not take risks to save this guy.

Therefore, Noma Takao's fate is really miserable.

He suffered for half an hour before dying.

This scene clearly fell into the eyes of the Japanese soldiers who were still holding on.

If they gain the upper hand, this will inspire the Japanese army to share the same hatred and determination to avenge their companions.

But now they are in a situation where they are completely suppressed by the US military, and this is their last desperate struggle.

The difference in mentality determines their different attitudes towards the scene in front of them.

They knew that they were bound to lose. After seeing the tragic death of Noma Takao, their fear was deeply engraved in their hearts.

Each of them is afraid that they will meet the same ending as Takao Noma.

That kind of pain is not something humans can bear.

Natsume Seiichiro knows this very well.

He is about to fail, and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot change this.

…

Meng Shaoyuan's reinforcements finally arrived.

Company F of the US Army arrived here under the command of Lieutenant Nate.

This company was obviously more equipped than the first American troops to enter Manila.

Not only do they have a mine-sweeping tank specially used to deal with minefields, a "snake" blasting barrel, and a "carrot" explosive pack, but they also have a large and heavy gun, but it is powerful and has extremely accurate shooting accuracy, even if it is dozens of

The 2-inch chemical mortar is unwilling to be eliminated in the next year.

In addition to being a troublesome set-up, this guy is a perfect weapon for infantry in critical battles!

In addition to weapons, in view of the large number of mines laid by the Japanese army in Manila, Company F was also equipped with a "minefield reconnaissance team" consisting of Sergeant Robinson and six soldiers.

The US military attaches more importance to mine clearance than any other country.

The reason is actually very simple. Throughout World War II, except for the Battle of the Ardennes, since the US military was usually on the offensive, mine detection and demining and how to avoid enemy minefields became daily topics for the US military.

For example, it is a very important principle of the US military to never advance along the road without identifying or clearing the mines.

"If everyone remains vigilant and learns to search for mines with their eyes at all times, the number of casualties of the troops will be greatly reduced." Sergeant Robinson taught the Ranger battalion how to pass the minefield: "The land with turned marks, piles of rocks

, mine boxes, raw materials for making mines, and unnecessary enemy sentries all mean that there is likely to be a minefield nearby.

Great care must be taken when approaching any type of rope that is very close to the ground, any anomaly warrants careful exploration and investigation must be carried out with great caution.”

Meng Shaoyuan listened very attentively, for fear of missing any word.

Not worried about Manila.

But in North Korea a few years later.

When facing that heroic army, the U.S. military, which had usually been on the offensive before, went on the defensive in countless battles.

Therefore, landmines are also used on a large scale by the US military.

This also caused many unnecessary casualties to that heroic army.

The army at that time was lacking in mine clearance equipment and experience.

Their experience was gained at the cost of blood and lives.

If there is systematic and comprehensive experience in identifying minefields and clearing mines, it will make the war different.

What if they had mine clearance equipment?

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes fell on the "snake-shaped" blasting tube and the "carrot" explosive package.

Get it for them in large quantities?

Very difficult.

But it's not impossible.

Even if there are only ten or twenty, the casualties of some troops can be reduced.

Sergeant Robinson would never have imagined that when he was explaining mine clearance tactics to the US military, the "US major" next to him was already planning for a big war a few years later.

In Meng Shaoyuan's mind, you will never guess what he is thinking.

"Hey, Sergeant."

A member of the minefield reconnaissance team came over and said: "There are a lot of mines in the front area, about fifty meters away. Several obvious points have been marked. We can take action."

Sergeant Robinson quickly found Lieutenant Nate.

Meng Shaoyuan quickly began to observe the US military's mine clearance operations.

Lieutenant Nate first ordered a round of suppressive fire.

Then, it was the minefield reconnaissance team's turn.

Two members carry submachine guns or carbines, while the other members only carry grenades.

The team leader is responsible for deciding the direction of travel and carries a map, compass, nails, a rope about 200 meters long, a flashlight and pliers.

Team members No. 1 and 2 walk in front of the team leader during the operation. Team member No. 1 is responsible for operating an electronic mine detector or probe, which he uses to open a path about 2 meters wide.

Team 2 carries the white tape and markers used to mark mine locations and is responsible for cutting any mine trip wires encountered.

As the group progresses, the straps and ropes will be untied pair by pair.

The team leader is responsible for checking each mine site and recording the target's judgment by tying a knot on a tape as follows:

One knot for mine trip wire; two knots for anti-infantry mines; three knots for anti-tank mines; four knots for new type mines.
