I was convicted of war crimes for farming in Africa?

"I hope nothing bad will happen."

Chen Jun felt the heavy atmosphere at the scene, and his scalp began to tingle and he held his breath, staring ahead, praying that nothing unexpected would happen.

Despite knowing the final outcome as a time traveler, none of the thirteen heroes who participated in the mission perished.

But now that there's this time traveler, it's like adding an unpredictable factor. Who can be 100% sure that nothing unexpected will happen and that the butterfly effect won't be triggered?

Even Chen Jun, who knew the outcome, was so nervous, let alone the others.

"Comrade Jin, don't be afraid, everything should be alright. Listen to me, in a moment, lift your leg as fast as you can and then lunge to the side, understand?"

Zhang Lianxun, a mine-clearing expert, was under immense pressure. At that moment, his face was covered in sweat that flowed down his nose and dripped onto the ground.

After all, if his judgment turns out to be wrong, it would be tantamount to him killing Jin Dayong.

"Okay, you can go now."

Jin Dayong was the one who stepped on the landmine; if anything went wrong, he would be the one to die. Undoubtedly, he was under the most psychological pressure, and his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

Zhang Lianxun didn't say anything more, got up and quickly ran to a spot twenty meters away where he lay down.

"Breathe in...breathe out..."

Jin Dayong's breathing was heavy, like that of a bull, and he closed his eyes to try to keep himself steady.

Affected by the tense atmosphere of life and death, Chen Jun, Yang Yucai, and the others who were lying in the distance couldn't help but hold their breath.

I waited for a few seconds.

Jin Dayong suddenly opened his closed eyes, clenched his back teeth, and with a burst of energy, lifted his leg and lunged towards the grass beside him.

hiss--

Everyone gasped in shock, their pupils dilating suddenly.

In this atmosphere where your heart is pounding in your throat, the world seems to be slowed down a hundred times, and a second feels like an eternity.

Good thing...

It didn't explode!!

Still, all is quiet!

The absence of an explosion meant safety. Yang Yucai, Chen Jun, and the others, whose hearts had been in their throats, breathed a sigh of relief and got up to run towards Jin Dayong.

"Damn, it really was an anti-tank mine. I'm lucky to have survived."

Jin Dayong looked at the group of comrades walking towards him, a grim smile of relief spreading across his face.

"This was good luck, but it also reminded us that we must not be as careless as before. Since there are anti-tank mines here, there is a high possibility that there are also anti-personnel mines, or perhaps this place is a minefield."

Yang Yucai looked around and then said, "We must complete our mission before dawn. We cannot linger here. We must get through this minefield as soon as possible."

"How about I be the mine-clearing soldier and clear the mines up front? You guys come with me?" Zhang Lianxun volunteered.

"Captain Yang, Captain Yang."

At this moment, Su Dechun ran over quickly, his face beaming with joy, and said, "I've found something here. There's a small path with small wooden stakes on both sides of the path. It's most likely a patrol route. There are definitely no landmines if you go that way."

The key to infiltration operations is speed; every second counts.

"Come on, quick, take me there."

Yang Yucai made a quick decision, but out of caution, he ordered as he walked, "Zhang Lianshun, you'll be the mine-clearing man and go first."

Patrol routes are common on the battlefield, especially near dangerous minefields.

After all, we can't afford to blow up our own people.

However, some patrol routes are not absolutely safe, and anti-personnel mines may be laid along the paths.

Friendly personnel can use specially made maps to avoid anti-personnel mines laid along patrol routes, while outsiders without maps will also face certain death.

Yang Yucai arranged for the mine-clearing team to go first because he was very clear about these situations.

His judgment was indeed correct.

As the team moved forward along the mine-clearing route, Zhang discovered a landmine in less than ten meters, saving the team from another danger.

Encountering danger even when only a few hundred meters from the road demonstrates the high risk of operations behind enemy lines.

Fortunately, the team was led by Yang Yucai, who had extensive combat experience. His seasoned reconnaissance skills allowed the team to avoid danger and prevent them from dying before they even got off to a successful mission.

This further highlights the sharp vision of the leaders of the 203rd Division, who dared to let a deputy platoon leader command an entire battalion in combat.

Zhang Lianxun walked ahead with a long mine detector rod, quickly inserting it into the ground as he went, using the sound to determine if there were any landmines.

The sound of a needle being driven into the ground or into a rock is completely different from the sound of a needle being driven into the casing of a landmine.

Once the mine detector found the spot where the mine was buried, he took out a small wooden stick with a white cloth tied to it and stuck it on the spot to mark the mine location.

This will not only allow the attacking squad to pass smoothly, but also clear obstacles for the second and third teams that follow.

The marching speed was not fast as they cleared mines along the way. Fortunately, the minefield was not large, and they finally left the dangerous minefield when they were about 100 meters away from the road.

However, the fact that the group from the Huaxi platoon passed through safely does not mean that everyone can pass through safely.

The second and third echelons that followed from behind were primarily tasked with artillery and armored vehicles, carrying even heavier loads of weapons and supplies.

In addition to their overall individual soldier skills, they cannot compare with the chemical warfare squad, which is composed entirely of veteran soldiers.

Their march at night was even more difficult.

The unexpected still happened.

"Boom!"

The muffled explosion echoed far through the mountains and forests.

Yang Yucai, who had already walked several hundred meters along the road and was thinking about how to search for the enemy artillery positions, suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heard an explosion coming from behind.

His expression changed from a smile of having successfully found the road to a solemn sadness in an instant.

The other team members did the same, stopping and looking back.

His eyes were filled with heaviness!

Judging from the direction from which the explosion came, it was easy to determine that someone must have stepped on a landmine and tragically died in a foreign land.

"Alas, this is war. Life and death are unpredictable. We are grateful to the martyrs who fought for our country without fear of death, and who used their lives to create a peaceful future for us."

Chen Jun felt extremely sad, but he was powerless to do anything for his fallen comrades.

The only thing he could do was turn to face the direction of the explosion, straighten his upper body to pay the highest respect, and carry on with his will to complete the mission.

Drive out those damned American devils and win this war for our motherland and people.

Yang Yucai and thirteen other comrades also stood up and saluted along with Chen Jun, not only to pay tribute to their fallen comrades, but also to themselves.

From the moment they received the mission, they had already disregarded their own lives.

Resolutely completing the tasks assigned by superiors and never betraying the trust placed in them by the Party and the people has become the sole belief that permeates their soul and body.
