Chapter 14: Brothers

Zhan Xiagege shouted loudly, "Yan Jun, Zhang Xiangyang, you two, take the M134 machine gun and a squad with a light bolt launcher. Follow me!" ”
Suddenly, Long Jianhui grabbed Zhanxiage, pointed at the map, and said, "We basically have no natural defenses to hold. We've been forced into the flattest and most desolate area of the Bingda Plank valley. We only have one hillside, and the small hill you want to capture can be used, barely forming fire support." Once your position falls, we will be completely surrounded by the enemy! You must hold it for me! Don't recklessly jump up and risk your life again. There are thousands of automatic rifles on your side. If you shoot at you all at once, even if you're a relative of the King of Hell, you'll be completely wiped out. ”
Zhan Xiage nodded vigorously, and Long Jianhui leaned close to his ear, whispering, "Remember, conserve ammunition!" The terrain of Bingdaban Valley is easy to defend and hard to attack. With the equipment and combat strength of the armed police, it's very difficult to break through their defenses to support us. The support available from Dongchang Airport is also very limited. By the time the nearest regular mechanized troops arrive, it will take at least five hours! Once the bullets run out, we'll all die! ”
Zhanxiage gave Long Jianhui a deep look, nodded slightly, and, with the two Fifth Special Forces Division students already standing beside him, turned and ran.
Shen Hao quickly walked up to Long Jianhui. In this situation, he didn't waste words: "Although I don't know exactly which unit you belong to, I can tell that you are all special forces that have undergone the most rigorous training. And you, as the commander, are a professional soldier with rich experience." Although I had dealt with terrorists for several years, when faced with this kind of real positional defense, my men and I were all outsiders. So from now on, I am entrusting you with command of the entire armed police squad!" ”
"Very good! Then immediately deploy an 82mm seatless cannon, along with a flamethrower and a war hero song to defend the position! Long Jianhui pointed to a small hill with only a 25-degree slope, at most fifty meters above the ground, and shouted, "Everyone, seize this position immediately and prepare for battle!" ”
Zhan Xiaoge, who was running at the front, suddenly froze. Yan Jun nearly bumped into him, his eyes wide as he asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I stepped on a landmine!"
"A landmine?" How could a place like this possibly have ......?"
Yan Jun's words were abruptly cut off. Within China, terrorists actually dared to set up an anti-encirclement to ambush Chinese troops. On this land destined to become a bloody battlefield, what could be impossible?!
"Let me help you!"
"No need!" Zhan Xiage drew his multifunctional military knife, crouched down slowly, and said in a deep voice, "You all immediately go to the hilltop and build defensive positions to cover the deputy captain's retreat." Watch your step, they can't just plant a landmine here! If I can't get up, Yan Jun, you will take my place. Remember, you must never lose our position! ”
Yan Jun nodded vigorously and shouted, "Let's go!" ”
Zhao Haiping, who had walked over with Zhanxiage and the others, widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you really going to abandon your brothers on the battlefield?" ”
"This is not abandonment. We are soldiers, and we know how to distinguish what is important and what is more important on the battlefield!" Zhanxiage handed the large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle in his hand along with his backpack to Zhao Haiping, whispering, "As long as you're alive, as long as this rifle still has bullets, you must take out any heavy weapons that might appear in the enemy camp!" Otherwise, you wouldn't be my apprentice, let alone use this anti-materiel sniper rifle! Can it be done?! ”
Zhao Haiping carried the heavy sniper rifle and Zhanxiage's backpack. He stared blankly at Zhanxiage, who had already started using his military knife to carefully probe the landmine beneath his feet. Big tears rolled down his face.
"No crying!" Zhanxiage didn't look up. He calmly said, "Remember, you're a sniper. Your eyes are for aiming at enemies and directing your weapons to snipe them, not to cry like a woman on the battlefield." Go immediately, don't distract me! ”
"I know a man shouldn't cry like a woman, and I also know that a soldier, especially a sniper, must never cry on the battlefield. But I never thought I would abandon my comrades or friends on the battlefield, and now the first person I want to abandon is my truly respected master!"
Zhao Haiping suddenly turned his head and cried to the sky. The man's tears rolled down his face, crashing hard onto the pure snowy plain beneath their feet. Zhao Haiping screamed, "Master, I'm sorry!" ”
"Follow the footsteps Yan Jun and the others left as we climb the mountain, watch out for landmines."
Listening to the heroic song's calm yet caring voice, Zhao Haiping felt a sting in his nose, tears once again bursting wildly from his eyes. As the intense gunfire drew closer and closer, a gust of mountain wind swept through, mixed with some frantic shouts he couldn't understand. Zhao Haiping knew this might be the last time he heard this little master's voice!
Zhanxiage stepped on a landmine on the hillside of the hillside. When the terrorists passed by the hillside, standing on the slope, there was no way Zhanxiage could survive the hail of gunfire from both sides!
Zhanxiage gently brushed aside the hardened snow at his feet with his military knife. After nearly six years of military service, plus the special hospitality from several instructors, his spirit had been trained to be tougher than steel wire. Hearing each wave of intense gunfire grow louder and closer, he could still remain calm enough to carefully examine the landmine he had stepped on.
This was a Yugoslav-made PMA-3 anti-infantry mine. This type of mine was a type of explosive mine. The body looked like a flat, round metal box holding films, and the casing was made of polystyrene and phenolic plastic, effectively evading metal mine detectors. This mine has excellent shockwave resistance; even if a nuclear bomb explodes at altitudes twenty kilometers or 500 to 600 kilometers from the ground, the shockwave won't detonate it. In Afghanistan and Central Asia, the most common is the M18A1 anti-infantry mine, a PMA-3 type mine that is rarely used.
Suddenly, Zhan Xiage's body stiffened again, because he saw a transparent thread on the all-black PMA-3 anti-infantry mine that most people would easily overlook when nervous. He reached out and gently stretched his body along the thread, finally lying on the ground, pressing down on the mine in a strange arc, and gently thrust his saber forward. When the blade pierced about five centimeters into the snow, he encountered something hard.
Pushing aside the surrounding snow, a second landmine appeared before Zhan Xiagege's eyes, less than 2.5 meters away. This mine is actually the POMZ-2 anti-infantry mine commonly used in Afghanistan. These mines are trip-triggered mines with an effective lethal radius of four meters. They are produced in the Soviet Union, South Korea, and most Eastern European countries, and are very easy to find on the weapons black market. In the Folgana Valley arms trading market, if you have the money, you can even use these mines to seal off the entire Ice Daban Valley.
Although both sides were on opposing sides, Zhanxiage still gave a thumbs up to those who planted these two landmines, saying, 'High, high, damn high!'
If Zhanxiage guessed correctly, at the other end of the Pomz-2 trip-hair-type anti-infantry mine, there was also a PMA-3 mine.
The PMA-3 anti-infantry mine actually consists of two discs: one with a fixed fuse, and another loaded with 35-gram trolls, which can rotate around the fuse. Both parts are sealed with rubber sleeves, and a plastic elastic fuse is fixed between the upper and lower parts to prevent premature detachment and explosion. The POMZ-2 tripped mine's special transparent tripwire, connected between the upper and lower parts, once Zhanxiage unlocks the PMA-3 anti-infantry mine, it could very likely detonate a trippet mine that is only 2.5 meters away but effectively covers a 4-meter radius!
The level of this mine-laying is expert-level, far beyond those guerrillas in Afghanistan who have not received formal military training, or the "assassin organizations" who have spent weeks in terrorist strongholds carrying a Kashnikov automatic rifle and dare to call themselves "jihadist elites." Perhaps this landmine design is the work of those international mercenaries from all over the world, who are mothers and mothers, and even dared to venture into Chinese territory to provoke them.
Mixing PMA-3 and POMZ-2 anti-infantry mines is a fusion of East and West, a product of the world's terrorist organization and the "xx" terrorist organization.
To Zhanxia Ge, who had undergone the strictest perverse training, unraveling such a chain of landmines was not a difficult task, but...... He really needs time!
