Explanation

'Wiped out' is a phrasal verb meaning to completely destroy or eliminate. In military contexts, 'wipe out' means to completely defeat or destroy enemy forces. 'Wipe off' means to clean a surface, 'wipe away' means to remove tears or dirt, and 'wipe on' is not a standard phrasal verb in this context.
