Chapter 441 -441: At All Costs

An Zhiyuan stared at the topographic map before him, his heart burning with anxiety. His senior leaders had already called! They demanded that they must break through the last supply line at all costs within forty-eight hours, or else they would face legal consequences.

He was not afraid of legal consequences, but the real challenge he was facing was the “at all costs.”

The casualties were too great now.

What to do?

“Captain, the engineering squad is requesting to go up again,” the deputy captain reported.

The members of the engineering squad were nearly wiped out.

What was once a full troop had now been almost entirely decimated.

It was they who had delivered themselves to death.

Even if they hadn’t died, they were seriously injured.

The damn enemy was too cunning.

“Tell them to rest now, tell them, even if they are to go, it will be early tomorrow morning. It’s already dark, going out now is just sending them to their deaths for nothing. Everyone, eat well and rest well, rejuvenate, and only then will we have the strength to go up tomorrow.” An Zhiyuan’s eyes were filled with red bloodshot lines.

The morale of the engineer platoon was at an all-time low, they couldn’t advance any further for three days.

The faint light in the sky heralded the beginning of a new day.

An Zhiyuan personally led the team, responsible for their safety. While dismantling mines, they also had to contend with artillery shells hidden in the distance, requiring armed teammates to protect them, or the casualties would be even greater.

Today, he wanted to see what kind of a deadly trap the opponent had laid out.

Everyone disagreed, but who could persuade him now?

Early in the morning, An Zhiyuan led his team, with rocket artillery and heavy machine guns protecting ten team members as they went up.

Stepping into the edge of the minefield, An Zhiyuan could see that the minefield had changed drastically, the once even path was now full of potholes, all left by artillery or mine explosions, telling of the blood of team members that stained these places.

They had just arrived.

The enemy seemed to have sensed their arrival already, with a shell exploding far off to the side.

It was apparent that the enemy’s interest in them had waned considerably, the original spectacle might no longer hold any appeal to them.

Even the artillery shells fired over were so casual, aimless.

After our side fired back a shell, the entire surrounding area fell silent.

It seemed the enemy had no real intention of stopping them.

Their men had rushed up; they were wearing thick protective suits, helmets, and held metal detectors in their hands. Although they knew these clothes and helmets could not ensure their safety, not a single person retreated.

An Zhiyuan watched from a distance as the team members inched forward, because the enemy was cunning too. Taking advantage of the night, they would sneakily plant additional mines, and just a moment’s inattention could mean new mines where there previously were none.

Even though An Zhiyuan had added patrols around the area at night, it was to no avail because the path was not only clear for them, but also for the enemy. The enemy was more familiar with the terrain than they were, hidden in the wild mountains and grasslands.

Suddenly, a team member collapsed for unknown reasons, followed by two others closest to him, who were also brought down. The trio fell in the pattern of a blooming flower as a mine was triggered, instantly exploding with a thunderous roar.

Luckily, aside from the blast injuries, no deaths were discovered—yet they couldn’t move from their spots at all.

Everyone froze in an instant.

An Zhiyuan ripped off the helmet on his head and threw it to a guard beside him, bursting out in a rush.

“Cover the captain!” The deputy captain had no time to stop him, only shouting from behind.
