Chapter 12Assault, Run, Assault, Run, It Becomes a Way of Life
Dad always was thinking of new ways to create traps for the NSI. He came up with a really interesting idea we decided to follow up on. Just outside the woods, not more than a hundred yards or so away from a forest so dense it was difficult to see into its body in daylight, we dug some trenches about fifteen feet wide and about fifteen feet deep. These were not for personnel particularly but would be if they were stupid enough to get into them. And in the bottom we set punji stakes of course but also anti-tank mines and anti-personnel mines as well. The mines could be exploded remotely or by contact.
It took us the better part of two days to complete the trenches and to put lattice works over them that would hold enough flora
