The forest was still a familiar one, but last time they walked past the edge of the minefield. This time, they were walking through the minefield.
When the team finished assembling, the vanguard had already set off. Qu Sen followed the team and ran a few steps before he saw a huge bomb on the right side of the road. The bomb was rusty and had a lot of vines attached to it.
Qu Sen had never seen such a big bomb before, but from the size and the English letters on the bomb, he could guess that it was an American aerial bomb.
"This used to be a very important Vietnamese aid route, but it was bombed to pieces by the Americans during the war. The American military was just like that, and they left a lot of bombs that didn't explode. "Hong Nan saw Qu Sen looking at the bomb and explained.
"What about this minefield?" Qu Sen remembered An Jingzhe's instructions when he asked the question. He looked away from the bomb and focused on the road ahead.
"During the Vietnam War, they were afraid that we would break in from here, so they blocked it with landmines. But from time to time, they would send agents to harass our transport route, so we also laid down landmines here. After a long time, it became the scale it is now. "
When Hong Nan spoke, her tone was full of hatred for the "ungrateful wretch."
In the time it took for them to ask and answer questions, the roadside ahead had already been marked by the armed police investigation team. On the roadside further ahead, there was a type 72 anti-infantry mine that was placed in a safe position under a tree.
For the sake of their lives and two legs, no one dared to speak anymore. The team kept moving forward quickly, and everyone focused on the road ahead and on both sides.
"Captain Hu Shan calling." The signaller in the team shouted.
An Jingzhe took the walkie-talkie and put it to his ear. "I'm Hound. Hu Shan, please speak."
"There are many wounded soldiers trapped in the armed police, and they are in critical condition. The engineering team and the first aid team are behind you. When you arrive at the battlefield, you need to open a passage as soon as possible and cover the first aid team. Do you understand? "Yue Jianjun's voice sounded.
"Hound understands. When we arrive at the battlefield, we will open a passage as soon as possible!"

The distance to the rescue was about seven kilometers, but at this time, because of the mountains and trees, the light in the forest was already dim. Even though every soldier in the special forces was very anxious, they could only slow down.
Fortunately, the vanguard at the front brought a fluorescent red flag to mark the lightning spots and dangerous areas twice. Otherwise, it would have been even more difficult to advance.
Even so, after fifty minutes, there were still more than two kilometers to go.
After circling around the foot of a mountain, Qu Sen could vaguely hear gunshots and explosions. Like all the other warriors, he became anxious. The light in the forest had become very dim.
An Jingzhe ordered another team to replace the vanguard. At the same time, he reminded all the team members through the tactical channel, "Everyone, stay calm and stay focused."
After warning all the team members, An Jingzhe asked for a walkie-talkie from the signaller and contacted the division commander. "Hounds calling Hushan, Hounds calling Hushan."
"Hushan got it. Report your situation." Yue Jianjun's anxious voice sounded immediately.
"We're close to the battle zone. The battle ahead is still going on. Judging from the gunshots, it's not that intense. "
"Restricted by the minefield, the battlefield can't be unfolded. The battle is limited to the passage area. The armed police reported that the unknown armed forces are not in a hurry to attack. We think that because the value of the drugs in the warehouse is huge, they have reinforcements.
In addition, the armed police are trapped. The power of the radio is running out and the backup power is lost. Before you go over, think of a way to establish contact. "
"Understood!"
Although Yue Jianjun didn't rush them, the intention in his words was very obvious. He hoped that the special forces would rush to the battlefield as soon as possible.

The fluorescent red flag was very eye-catching under the strong light of the flashlight. The special forces members formed two columns and advanced strictly according to the markings of the vanguard. They didn't dare to take a step out of the range.
Even if they accidentally fell, they had to fall on the route. Even if they supported themselves with their hands outside the safe zone, it was possible to trigger an explosion. Not only would they be done for, but they would also implicate their comrades around them.
As they got closer to the target area, the gunshots and explosions became clearer. However, the situation was the same as before. Judging from the density of the gunshots, the battle wasn't that intense.
"Captain, we've arrived at the Brera area!" The voice of the vanguard sounded in the tactical channel.
"Continue to advance along the route that the armed police reconnaissance team has explored. Pay attention to find a point that is about 200 meters away from the wooden house."
"Understood. Pay attention to find a point that is about 200 meters away from the wooden house."
When the explosives team set out, they brought four bundles of 50-meter-long lightning rope. If the vanguard could find a point that met the requirements of this distance, they could directly use the explosives to open up the route to the wooden house.
When a large number of marked lightning points appeared in Qu Sen's eyes, the special forces team's route immediately began to turn left.
After running for about 100 meters, the voice of the vanguard sounded in the tactical channel again. "Captain, we're close to the battle area. The closest point along the way is about 270 meters away from the wooden house."
"You guys observe the situation of the battlefield from a distance. Mark the closest point on the map."
"Yes!"
After the vanguard received the order, the marked points on the individual tactical map quickly lit up. Ten minutes later, the team arrived.
The distance of 270 meters wasn't far. However, in the darkness and the obstruction of the trees and vegetation, the position of the wooden house couldn't be seen with the naked eye. They could only determine the position and distance through the marks on the numerical map.
"Utu!" An Jingzhe shouted at the same time as he issued a stop signal. The team immediately stopped moving forward.
"Here!" Utu and another soldier from the explosives team, who were at the back of the team, carried the heavy lightning rope and launchers as they carefully ran along the safe passage.
An Jingzhe used the electronic map to confirm the position again. He pointed in the direction of the wooden house and shouted, "This way, open it for me!"
"Captain, 270 meters, we don't have enough lightning rope!" Utu said anxiously.
"If it's not enough, then use grenades and rifle grenades!" An Jingzhe replied with a firm tone.
"Yes!"
Utu cooperated with the other soldiers and began to assemble the lightning rope launchers. An Jingzhe pressed the button on the communicator. "Everyone, 50 meters away from the two sides of the passage. Stay low and hide!"
The long column of special forces members tacitly split into two teams. The front team continued to advance along the safe passage, while the back team turned around and began to retreat.
"Captain, we can use the drone to send an individual console to the trapped soldiers." Qu Sen pressed the communicator and said.
"Yes! Immediately prepare to release the drone! "An Jingzhe patted his helmet. He was too nervous before and forgot about the drone. An Jingzhe was vexed for a moment. He shouted to the communicator behind him, "Hurry and send the spare console to Instructor Qu!"
"Yes!" The communicator replied as he got up from the ground and ran back.
Three minutes later, the "Qin crossbow" equipped with a small loudspeaker and an individual console below it rose into the air. In less than 30 seconds, it appeared above the half-collapsed wooden house.
Through the night vision lens, Qu Sen saw the two soldiers guarding the back of the house. They immediately noticed the "Qin crossbow" in the air and subconsciously raised their guns to aim.
"Don't shoot, we're the special forces of the synthetic division. There's an individual radio under the fuselage, please give it to your commander. "Qu Sen immediately shouted.
The two soldiers didn't completely let down their guard after hearing the shout. They only lowered the muzzle of their guns. One person stayed to continue observing, and the other quickly jumped in from the back window. He should be reporting.
Qu Sen controlled the "Qin crossbow" to descend to about two meters above the ground. One Bar Two jumped out from the back window and shone the "Qin crossbow" above his head with a flashlight.
"Comrade First Lieutenant, we're the special forces of the synthetic division. There's an individual radio under the fuselage to facilitate communication between the two sides. "Qu Sen explained again.
Seeing the first lieutenant wave his hand, Qu Sen lowered the "Qin Crossbow" a little more. One pole, two poles, carefully removed the single soldier radio.
"Put on the headset and press the call button at the bottom of the microphone to talk."
While Qu Sen was explaining, One Bar Two had already put on the headset. According to Qu Sen's introduction, he fumbled with his fingers and pressed the call button. At the same time, he said, "Hello, hello!"
"I'm An Jingzhe, the captain of the special forces of the synthetic division. How's the situation over there?"
"I'm Bao Guohua of the first squadron of the border defense detachment. Can you use your remotely piloted aircraft to send us some Dolantin and Hemostatic Powder?"
"No problem! We're about three hundred meters northeast of your unit. Immediately use the mine-clearing rope to open a passage. "
Bao Guohua watched the "remotely piloted aircraft" above his head fly away and pressed the call button. "Our situation here is okay. The enemy's armed personnel blocked the exit and didn't launch an attack. It's just that a few wounded people are in critical condition and need to be evacuated as soon as possible. "
"The first aid team is already on the way. There's also a platoon of engineering soldiers with stretchers."
While the commanders of the two units were exchanging information, Qu Sen used the "Qin crossbow" to send two batches of Dolantin and Hemostatic Powder to the trapped armed police soldiers and did a simple battlefield investigation.
On the other side, the enemy's armed personnel kept a long distance from the wooden house. There were many obstacles in the middle. The thermal lens of the drone only detected three human-shaped heat sources.
Because they were worried that the sound of the "Qin crossbow" working would alert the enemy, they didn't go closer to investigate further.
When An Jingzhe and Bao Guohua ended the call, Qu Sen directly parked the "Qin crossbow" in the wooden house. Once the armed police force needed it, they could immediately send a request for assistance through the command center.

When Wutu began to load the tip of the mine-clearing rope into the launcher, all the soldiers on the safe passage simultaneously lay down.
"Preparations are complete!" Wutu reported loudly after setting the delay device.
"Fire!"
The mine-clearing rope was actually an explosive cord. By detonating the cord, it could clear the mines in a large area. It was a very efficient and relatively safe demining tool.
The reason why it was relatively safe was because after the mines on the ground exploded, due to the angle of attack, low-level crawling could effectively avoid damage.
However, in a situation where the density of the mines was extremely high, the explosion of the mine-clearing rope and mines was likely to throw the surrounding mines into the air. If the mines were violently shaken and exploded in the air, the projectiles and steel balls could cover a very wide area below. Even if the nearby personnel were low-level crawling, they couldn't guarantee their safety.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, when the mine-clearing rope detonated, it was strictly forbidden for personnel to be exposed near the launch range. After setting the delay, the operator also needed to quickly move to a safe area after the launch.
But the current situation was that the special forces were in the middle of a minefield, and the safe passage was very narrow. It was impossible to retreat to an absolutely safe area and carry out the mine-clearing operation.
