Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 871 Minefield!

"boom!"

A loud bang was heard, and sparks flew from the distant hill. Two rats, unable to dodge in time, were blown into the air by the shell.

The flash of light from the explosion instantly illuminated the entire hill, bringing the rats scurrying about on the hill into view. Jia Dongming, using his Eagle Eye skill to observe the hill in the distance, said with a look of relief, "If those rats hadn't been smoking while lying in ambush, which allowed me to accidentally see the flash of light, we might have really fallen into their trap."

By the light of the explosion, everyone watched the rats scattering in all directions, and they all secretly broke out in a cold sweat. When Guo Jianguo heard Jia Dongming's words, he said to Jia Dongming with a look of relief, "Director, it's fortunate that you discovered these rats lying in ambush on the mountain, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Using his Eagle Eye skill, Wu Tianlin saw the rats lying in ambush on the hill. Under the bombardment of mortars, some were dead and some were wounded. Jia Dongming raised his pistol and ordered Guo Jianguo, who was muttering to himself, "Old Guo! You take the second team, the third team stays here to protect the convoy, and I will take the first team to the hill ahead to wipe out the remaining rats."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Guo Jianguo immediately said to Jia Dongming, "Director! Why don't you take some men and stay here to keep watch, and I'll take a team to wipe out those rats?"

If it were daytime, Jia Dongming would definitely agree to Guo Jianguo's volunteering, but on this dark night, having Guo Jianguo lead the team to wipe out the rats would likely cause some of them to escape under the cover of darkness and bushes.

Faced with Guo Jianguo's initiative to volunteer, Jia Dongming said to Guo Jianguo in an unyielding tone, "Old Guo! I am the person in charge of the escort team. I should be responsible for the work of eradicating rats. You are responsible for the safety of the convoy."

With a gun in his hand, Jia Dongming led a group of more than twenty subordinates and ran along the road toward the burning hill.

Just as Jia Dongming was about to reach the small hill, he suddenly spotted a bomb buried on the road using his Eagle Eye skill. He instinctively stopped and ordered Tie Jun beside him, "Tie Jun! Give me your flashlight."

When Tie Jun heard Jia Dongming's instructions, although he didn't understand why Jia Dongming would suddenly ask him for a flashlight, he still handed over the flashlight he was holding to Jia Dongming as instructed.

Jia Dongming took the flashlight from Tie Jun and shone it in the middle of the road. He saw that there were many withered grasses scattered in the middle of the road, and something seemed to be buried under the withered grasses.

Jia Dongming was perfectly aware of what was buried under the withered grass. He shone his flashlight on the area where he suspected something was buried and solemnly explained to Tie Jun and the others, "If I'm not mistaken, these rats have buried a lot of landmines along this road. If I hadn't accidentally discovered them while they were smoking, the consequences would have been unimaginable if our convoy had entered this minefield."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, everyone shone their flashlights on the area he pointed to. Because the person who planted the booby trap was very professional, the guards present did not discover the booby trap buried in the ground. Thinking of the booby trap exploding when the convoy passed through this road, the guards present all broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking at the booby traps and fuses on the ground, Jia Dongming handed the flashlight back to Tie Jun and immediately instructed him, "Tie Jun! Arrange for one person to stand guard here so the rest of us can cross the curb with me. Then arrange for another person to stand guard at the other end. The rest of us will follow me up the hill and wipe out these rats in one fell swoop."

The injured rat saw a large group of people with flashlights running towards the hill. It struggled to climb to the position of the detonator, planning to detonate the booby traps as soon as the people entered the minefield, making them take the fall for the booby traps.

Just as the giant rat placed his hand above the detonator, the group of guards holding flashlights in the distance suddenly stopped about 40 or 50 meters from the minefield. They then shone their flashlights on the minefield in front of them and ran towards the curb. This scene infuriated the giant rat, who wanted to drag Jia Dongming and his group down with him. He even considered detonating the booby trap to stop Jia Dongming and his men from advancing. However, the curb was much lower than the road where they had laid the mines, so even if he detonated the booby trap, it wouldn't cause any casualties to Jia Dongming and his men.

Jia Dongming naturally saw what the big rat was doing, which made him secretly glad. If it weren't for those two cigarettes that the rats were smoking, the consequences would have been unimaginable if the convoy had entered this minefield.

The large rat, lying on the grass, saw the flashlight beam getting closer and closer and felt its life slipping away. In despair, it finally pressed the detonator hard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As soon as the detonator was pressed, a series of violent explosions rang out on the road. The deafening explosions made Jia Dongming and the others, who were standing under the curb, feel their ears ringing. Some team members even kept shaking their heads, trying to clear their minds.

Li Huaide, Guo Jianguo, and the others, who were in the distance, heard the deafening explosions and saw the explosions happening one after another on the highway. Their faces were filled with horror.

After departing from Jingu Port, everyone in the convoy was on high alert. They only relaxed their guard after the convoy entered the jurisdiction of Beijing. If Jia Dongming hadn't discovered the ambush, the explosion would have killed them once the convoy passed through the minefield. This made everyone present break out in a cold sweat.

Jia Dongming led his subordinates, keeping an eye on the explosions around them, and quickly crossed the minefield. They then ran along the mountain path toward the burning hill.

The wounded rat, lying on the ground, seeing that Jia Dongming and the others were unaffected by the explosion, quickly ran up the hill along the path. Still unwilling to give up, he immediately shouted to his men, who were still groaning in pain, "Brothers! The enemy is attacking! Grab your grenades and fight them!"

Just as the big rat picked up the wooden gun that was placed aside and called on the other little rats to fight Jia Dongming and his men to the death, Jia Dongming, who had already run to the front of the small hill, heard the big rat's shout, raised his gun, and pulled the trigger directly at the big rat who was holding the gun and mobilizing them.

A crisp sound suddenly rang out, and the big rat's shouts abruptly stopped. It fell backward with a face full of resentment, and a bullet hole was clearly visible between its eyebrows.

The sight of the giant rat being killed instantly disoriented the remaining little rats who were trying to resist. They attempted to escape under the cover of night, but the previous bombing had injured almost all of them, leaving them unable to escape despite their good intentions.

Upon seeing the scurrying mice, Jia Dongming immediately fired a shot into the air and shouted at them, "We are the police! You are surrounded! If you don't want to die, surrender your weapons and you will not be killed!"

When the mice saw the heavily armed guards rushing up the hill, they knew they could not escape, so they all obediently dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Seeing the mice raising their hands in surrender, Jia Dongming scanned the surrounding bushes with his eagle eyes. After confirming that none had escaped, he immediately ordered his subordinates, "Men! Catch all these mice!"
