Chapter 220 Unique solution idea
Giles stared at Feliz for a few seconds, and just sighed without letting anyone go out.

"Let the troops temporarily stop advancing, spread out on the spot and dig anti-gun holes, and wait for us to mobilize engineers from behind to clear mines."

The chief of staff suggested: "The engineers of the division can still be used, but only to remove this few mines."

Another staff officer suggested: "Actually, there is also a combat engineer battalion that has escaped. After reorganization, it can be sent to clear mines. After all, they are also engineers."

Giles: "Okay, let's use this two-pronged approach. I will see the enemy's new mines tonight!"

----

About six hours later, the "new" landmine was delivered to Giles.

Giles wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Adjutant Feliz.

Feliz first stepped forward to examine the thing carefully, and then looked at the engineer captain with confusion - this man had accessories on his collar badge, indicating that he was a combat engineer, not an ordinary engineer.

Feliz: "How do you detonate this thing?"

He asked again: "What about those iron plates used to cover such mines? Are they special equipment?"

Feliz opened his mouth so wide that he forgot to close it for a moment.

Giles: "How long will it take to start excavation operations?"

"General Baima has delayed us with these crude things. We should reflect carefully. So now the troops have regained the lost positions?"

The chief of staff replied: "The troops have entered the position. At the same time, according to your instructions, the railway has been dismantled and the anti-tank artillery regiment has been deployed."

Engineer Captain: "We are combat engineers, and mine clearance is OK. To carry out trench advancement, we need excavation equipment and specialized engineering experts, all of which were captured by the enemy."

"I'm asking, how can it detonate when infantry steps on it?" Feliz raised his voice.

Giles scolded: "Don't be like this! The enemy's wisdom deserves respect. If you are tricked, you must recognize it."

"This thing," the engineer captain picked up the "plate" placed next to the mine, "it can be observed that there are grooves on this side. We think this may be the lid of a glass bottle."

The engineer captain replied: "I am only responsible for transporting the dug things to the military headquarters. I don't know what the situation is on the front line."

Feliz immediately acted as Gil-Ace's "mouthpiece" and cursed: "These enemies know how to be clever! Do these brain teasers! Are these things useful? Can they prevent them from losing in three months?" War?"

The chief of staff added: "We wasted six hours. By the way, we were bombarded while we were delayed in the open space, and there were hundreds of casualties."

Giles: "There's not even a single expert left?"

Giles patted Feliz on the shoulder: "Don't be like this, a good soldier must be able to skillfully use everything at hand, even if he only has a pencil as a weapon, he must find a way to kill the enemy.

The corners of Giles' eyes twitched.

"There is not a single one left. We even threw away the trench layout map drawn by the previous archer brigade commander. It will take time for new experts to redraw the layout map."

Giles concluded: "Did the enemy take advantage of our mindset and cause dozens of our casualties?"

"Bottle caps!" Feliz shouted, "How can they fight with something like this?"

Captain: "It won't detonate. The pressure plate on this thing is just a decoration. It won't detonate at all, but it will feel like stepping on a mine. If the infantry steps on it, they won't dare to move. They will lure the deminers over and rely on a simple cable. Detonate."

Giles raised his forehead and said, "Damn it, please send the troops up from behind!"

"Through the cable below. The other end of the cable is plunged deep into the ground." The engineer immediately explained, "So as long as the cable is cut, it will not explode."

At this time, the chief of staff suggested: "The division commander of the Ampula Division, Kruse, suggested building an artillery observation post on the slope of the front line to guide artillery bombardment."

"Is that breakthrough far from our front?" Giles asked.

Chief of Staff: "On the southern section of our current trench, construction can begin now... No, construction can begin tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the time and changed his mind again: "We can start construction today, it will be dawn today."

Giles waved his hand: "Let him build it."

The next day, on the morning of September 914, 9, Wang Zhong yawned and entered the bunker. He first greeted Popov, who was on the night shift: "Hello. How is the situation?"

Popov: "Great, there were mine explosions in the middle of the night yesterday. But this morning the bridgehead reported that the enemy was observed in the position we abandoned."

Wang Zhong came to the observation window, pretended to pick up the telescope and looked at it: "It is indeed true."

Cut top view The enemy has filled the trenches.

Popov: "I didn't expect these fake mines to delay the enemy for so long."

Wang Zhong snorted: "This will delay the enemy's digging for another day. By the way, have the prisoners been sent back to Yebao?"

Popov: "It has been packed into a tanker and taken away. In addition, the inquisitor's torture of the enemy's decoder has come to an end."

Wang Zhong: "He did it?"

Popov: "No, the person entered the emergency room and was just rescued. The Inquisition sent a telegram to criticize the incident and requested that the person be sent to Yebao immediately. Professionals from the Inquisition headquarters came."

Wang Zhong: "So we packed him into the train together?" "No, Ye Bao sent a plane to pick him up. He has already boarded the plane and left." After Popov finished speaking, Pavlov entered the bunker.

"So how's it going?" he asked.

Wang Zhong read back what Popov just said.

Pavlov laughed: "Great. I really want to see the enemy general's expression when he sees the thing Vasily made."

Wang Zhong: "I also think it will be wonderful."

He paused and looked at the other side: "I guess the enemy is going to push their anti-tank guns up now."

In Wang Zhong's field of vision, no anti-tank gun batteries were highlighted, so he continued: "We should let the air force find where they are."

Pavlov: "Okay, maybe the Prossens forgot to camouflage. After all, there was no camouflage net at all in the supplies you seized during the raid yesterday."

Yes, during the Air Force's previous reconnaissance, they always felt that the Prossens were careless and forgot to put up a camouflage net. Yesterday, they rushed over to the engineer brigade headquarters and found out that the enemy had no camouflage net at all.

I don’t know if after the call, I discovered that Ant’s infrastructure was so poor that I had to adjust the supply plan and put the priority back, or if I simply didn’t think about the need for a camouflage network.

Wang Zhong picked up the phone receiver himself: "Answer the air force."

----

More than two hours later, Kharlamov called: "We found at least one battalion of anti-tank artillery units. We strafed them. We don't know how many were killed. After all, everyone will be swept by the machine gun." "Lie down."

Wang Zhong: "It shows that they are all well-trained Proson soldiers."

Of course, Kharlamov did not hear the movie reference in Wang Zhong's words, and agreed: "Indeed, many people can see the direction of our attack and know to quickly leave the area where we are firing.

"It's difficult to judge the effect of the attack just by looking at it with our naked eyes. So we were just about to call you for another artillery strike, and the enemy air force appeared."

Wang Zhong: "It doesn't matter, as long as you come back successfully."

Kharlamov: "I sent over a map that marked the location of the enemy's anti-tank gun battalion. It should be almost there. Also, if you want to have an armored train sortie, I tell you there is no chance. The enemy has put their position there. A section of railway track is stuck."

As soon as the other person finished speaking, a staff officer came in with a messenger: "Report, the messenger from the airport is here."

Wang Zhong: "The map has arrived, Kharlamov. Then I will die."

"Okay, I wish you a good beating on the enemy!"

"I will."

Wang Zhong put down the receiver and said to the messenger: "Map."

The ordering soldier did not answer, but directly took out the map and handed it to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong glanced at the map and handed it to Pavlov: "According to this shelling."

When Pavlov issued instructions to the artillery regiment, Vasily said: "Today seems to be another boring day. It would be great if we could attack a wave like yesterday. How about we do it again?"

Wang Zhong: "No way, the aerial reconnaissance just found that the enemy has dug up the railway tracks. This kind of armored train assault can no longer be used."

Vasily refused to give up: "Then let's organize a purely armored assault? Use a ferry to transport the tanks over..."

Wang Zhong: "No, the water at the ferry on the west bank is full of enemy tanks. The ferry can't dock, and the boats can't deliver the tanks."

Vasily frowned: "Then we just watch like this?"

Wang Zhong thought for a while and said: "In this way, we can organize people to shout to the other side with loudspeakers, laughing at them for advancing so slowly. It will rain when they dig in, and they will be unable to move even an inch."

Vasily: "This seems good. There should be a loudspeaker over there in the Navy. I'll see if I can get it."

Wang Zhong: "Go. And be careful, the enemy will bombard you regularly."

Vasily directly pulled up his sleeves and showed off his watch: "I have this! I picked it from a dead enemy! Now this watch will shine for the Ant Empire!"

Wang Zhong: "You guy, you've enriched your own pockets! And you still show it in front of the bishop!"

Popov: "Normally we don't take the initiative to deal with soldiers to get trophies, but if you show it in front of me, that's another matter. When you get off the battlefield, remember to remind me to put you in confinement for a month."

Vasily shouted: "A month???"

Popov: "Yes."

Vasily was about to cry without tears.

Popov continued: "The main significance is to maintain the discipline of the troops. Once the enemy's position is conquered, everyone will be looking for loot. Then the enemy will take the opportunity to counterattack and the position will be lost."

Vasily turned around and ran away with a sad face.

Wang Zhong: "I sat on the tank the whole time yesterday, but I didn't have time to pick up the trophies. Otherwise, I would have wanted a telescope made by Proson."

As soon as he finished speaking, the artillery regiment began to attack the anti-tank gun position, and there was a constant sound of artillery shells flying overhead.
