Niu Lidong suddenly pulled down the rope, but the explosion did not happen as he expected. Because the rope was too long and had a certain degree of elasticity, the bomb that he thought would explode did not explode.
But it didn't matter. Niu Lidong pulled the rope a little more and pulled it down for the second time.
Then, the bomb finally went off.
A group of three roadside bombs could not throw a truck into the sky. Mortar shells mainly relied on the shrapnel produced by the explosion to injure the enemy. Therefore, the three mortar shells hidden by the roadside could at most form a dense rain of steel.
Niu Lidong was still stingy. Because he did not have the resources to waste, his habit was to use the least cost to obtain the greatest results. Basically, this was the common characteristic of all Wastelanders.
Therefore, the explosion was just a burst of green smoke, a car riddled with shrapnel, and a driver stumbling out of the car, covered in blood.
"Tsk tsk, that's it."
Gao Qi could not say whether he was impressed or surprised. He said to Wang Ke, "I thought it would be an earth-shattering explosion, but it turned out to be just this?"
Wang Ke looked a little unnatural. He said, "Lidong said this was enough. As long as one was blown up, the enemy would definitely not dare to follow the road. So he used most of the explosives elsewhere."
"I'm looking forward to Lidong's performance. He has not had a chance to show off. Well, since there are bombs on both sides of the road, how do you think the enemy will deal with them?"
Wang Ke said with a conflicted face, "It's hard to say. If I was the commander, I would definitely have spread out and come from both sides of the road. But now I know that there will be more mines on both sides, so I will let people spread out and force their way through the roads that might be blocked by mines and roadside bombs. Uh, Lidong was right."
"What do you mean?"
"He said that no one uses mines now, and very few people know how to use them. So most people don't know how to deal with mines. So, as long as the enemy still wants to rescue, they will definitely send people to continue rushing. They will only hide when they are blown up again."
Just then, another truck came along the road at a very fast speed. Niu Lidong popped his head out of the hole he was hiding in and pulled on the rope.
The second set of bombs went off. When Niu Lidong pulled the rope, he had to make sure that the car was within the range of the explosion. However, the car was too fast. In order to ensure that the second car would be blown up, he pulled two ropes at the same time.
Two explosions sounded one after another. The front of the second car was blown up, but the cabin was still intact. However, there was no one in the second car.
After the loud explosion, the smoke on the road slowly dispersed. Gao Qi asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with Lidong? Is he purposely letting the enemy see him?"
"That's right. He really did let the enemy see it on purpose. Because this way, the enemy will think that the roadside bombs must be manually detonated. Moreover, they are placed on both sides of the road, mainly to prevent cars from rushing over."
Gao Qi looked at Wang Ke with some surprise and said, "Lidong has such a brain?"
All along, Gao Qi had thought that Niu Lidong was silly. He had never thought that Niu Lidong would use tactics when burying landmines.
"Now I think that Lidong is pretty good. He … really knows how to read people's minds. He wants to use four sets of bombs to force the enemy off the road. The enemy will disperse their forces and come over from the wasteland on both sides of the road."
The development of the battle was basically the same as Niu Lidong's prediction. Dozens of people came out of the trucks parked in the distance. Then, they quickly spread out and avoided the road. They crouched and began to walk into the wasteland on both sides of the road.
Wang Ke whispered, "Next is the landmines. However, the enemy will definitely not come over directly. They will be frightened by the two roadside bombs. They will definitely be conflicted about whether to continue attacking or escape immediately. So, at this time, they will not come in large numbers. They will definitely send a few scouts to scout the way."
After two explosions, the gunshots from Hellfire became more intense. It seemed that they had stepped up their attack on the farm.
After the dozens of enemies got off the vehicles, only a dozen or so of them slowly moved forward. They were about a thousand meters away from the farm. At this speed, this fake battle would take at least an hour to finish.
Gao Qi was puzzled. He frowned and said, "And then?"
"The scouts will find that there are no landmines. So, the infantry will follow them. When they reach the minefield, it will be too late for them to retreat."
Gao Qi was puzzled. "He can manually control the landmines? How does he control them? "
Wang Ke said in a low voice, "That's why I admire Lidong. He didn't have an electronic fuse, so he couldn't detonate it accurately. Therefore, he could only try to predict the enemy's reaction in advance when setting up the minefield. This is a chain of mines. The entire minefield is just a chain of mines. Only when the mines closest to us are detonated at the front will the entire chain of mines be detonated."
Gao Qi asked curiously, "Uh, how did he do it? Did he connect them one by one with a rope? "
Wang Ke looked a little embarrassed. "No, there isn't such a long rope. So, the method of burying the mines is very important. It has to be vibration-sensitive. It's like a mouse trap. As long as the vibrations reach a certain intensity, the mines will detonate. So, the main detonator of the mines must be very big, very big."
Gao Qi regretted it. He whispered, "I should have seen how Lidong laid the mines. I thought he would just bury the mines in the ground. I didn't expect it to be so technical."
Wang Ke nodded. "I thought so too. But burying the mines is indeed more difficult than I thought."
The scattered infantry had already crossed the road where the vehicles were continuously blown up. They were still moving forward. If the enemy's commander was more careful and steady, he should have waited for the scouts to advance until they were at the crossfire position. After confirming that there would be no problems, he would let the rest of the soldiers move forward.
But now it seemed that the battle was in full swing, and the farm seemed to be unable to hold on. So, after the scouts had advanced about 100 meters, the enemy's commander sent the rest of the soldiers out.
More than a dozen scouts were in front, and dozens of soldiers were behind. They were about 100 meters apart, slowly but firmly pressing forward.
Niu Lidong could no longer hide in his original position. He ran out of the pit and began to run forward frantically.
Gao Qi, who was not interested at first, began to get nervous. He couldn't help but ask, "How many mines did you bury?"
Wang Ke licked his lips and whispered, "A total of 40."
"So few? Can you wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop? "
"I thought so too, but now it seems that Lidong might really be able to do it alone."
