Best way to get rid of vines

Had an area of our property that was overgrown. Tore it all up and and added some sand. Have to get a get a fence built before I can lay sod.
Over the last couple of weeks we have had a huge amount of weed growth poke through. About 99% of that is vines about 4-6” under the soil.
Aside from digging them up and spraying them, what can really be done to mitigate? The sobs just keep coming back. I’ve sprayed them with Crossbow and it killed what was visible but more came right back.

Do you have pics of said vines? Environmentally safe ways include cutting and pouring vinegar on the area.

Crossbow is 16.5% Triclopyr. Use Remedy Herbicide, it's 60.45% Triclopyr.

Do you want anything to live there? If not 50% diesel/ 50 water will kill anything, it also dosent let anything frow for a while

Is it bushkiller?
Very hard to kill. Grows and expands via underground runners, 2-3 inches underground. Pull the vine and it just pops off and re-sprouts again from the runners.
Best way I've found to knock it back is to:
-- let it get a couple of feet long,
-- pull it off the bushes or plants but don't pull it out of the ground,
-- roll or bunch it up,
-- lay it back on the ground; if it is on grass or something else put plastic sheeting underneath it
-- spray the heck out of the leaves and vine with Round-Up, and let it sit for several days, enough to get the herbicide into the plant's vascular system and down into the runners,
-- pull the dead vine out and get as much of the runner system out of the ground as you can.

Deal with lots of vines where I live of many types. I cut them and apply a few drops of pure roundup concentrate to the cut on side still rooted and when done right it kills the vine 100%. I don’t bother staying vine leaves anymore. Doesn’t kill totally.
