Sink a Thousand Rounds, Lay Waste to It
Could anyone please help me understand the red sentence below ? How could you paraphrase?
Hiro/ Sendai, Japan
Two men covered while I led the rest of my squad through the shooting gallery to a safer spot on the other side of the street; it struck me as almost miraculous that no one was killed. From there, we sank a thousand rounds into the enemy's position, laying absolute waste to it.
