Giles stared at Feliz for a few seconds, sighed, and did not order anyone to go out.
"Have the troops temporarily halt their advance, spread out on the spot, and dig artillery shelters. We'll wait for the engineers to be brought in from behind to clear the mines."
The Chief of Staff suggested, "The divisional engineers can still be used, especially for clearing this amount of mines."
Another staff officer suggested, "Actually, there's a combat engineer battalion that made it out. After reorganization, they can be sent up to clear the mines, considering they are engineers too."
Giles: "Fine, we'll do it both ways. I want to see the enemy's new mines by tonight."

About 6 hours later, the "new" mines were brought before Giles.
Giles wanted to approach, but was stopped by his aide-de-camp, Feliz.
