200 meters.

The formation of the Japanese army is fast but not chaotic, and from the fact that most of them are just slightly cat-waisted when they run, they know that they are experienced veterans who have mixed in from the battlefield, and they obviously hear the explosion point of the shells from the whistling sound of the shells, so they basically don't worry about the shells falling near them, and the slight cat's waist is just a habitual action.

At this time, Zhang Chi was thinking that if it wasn't for the first battalion to arrive here and set up an ambush, if the Japanese air force did not misunderstand and fed back the intelligence to the Japanese army, then I was afraid that it would be a vicious battle at this time.

But there are no ifs in the war, and the fact is that the devil made a mistake.

What Zhang Chi has to do is to seize this mistake and cripple the elite army of devils with a stick as much as possible.

100 meters.

Zhang Chi could even hear the metallic sound of the devil's equipment bumping against each other as they ran...... In front of them, more than 500 Japanese soldiers were rushing towards the mountains, and there were still many Japanese soldiers in the jungle who kept rushing out and running towards the mountains, and some of them were even on fire and carrying ammunition boxes.

The Japanese army can be said to be not inferior to any army in Asia, including China, in the point of not being killed.

However, it should be said that this has to be treated differently, the early Japanese army had nothing to say, and they were like wolves and tigers, but in the middle and especially in the later period, the quality did not dare to compliment.

Many people think it's the reason for the training, and that's certainly one of the reasons...... The veterans who could fight were almost dead, and most of the soldiers in the later period were newly filled recruits, but the problem was that even the recruits who had never been on the battlefield in the early and middle days of the Japanese army were not afraid of death.

So, in fact, it was not only a matter of training, but more importantly, in the later stage, even the Japanese themselves knew that they could not win the war, so they were unwilling to pay for this doomed war.

What they have lost is faith, the belief that they will win.

50 meters.

At this time, the Japanese army had already reached the bottom of the mountain ridge, and because there was a relatively steep terrain from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain range, the enemy could not be seen in the trenches at this time. He only felt the enemy climb up and up below. Occasionally, you can hear the urging of Japanese officers......

Finally, a Japanese soldier poked his head out, and then climbed up the mountain with both hands, but the Japanese soldier who stood up at this time couldn't help but be stunned, because he clearly saw a trench not far ahead, and the weeds in front of the trench were sticking out of the muzzles of black holes and aiming in his direction.

If the Japanese soldier had time to sigh, then he would definitely say: "Running up so hard turned out to be self-defeating!" ”

Of course, he didn't have time to sigh, because the gun in Zhang Chi's hand had already gone off. The soldier clutched his chest and rolled down the steep slope he had just climbed.

Compared with the sound of artillery, the sound of this gun and the devils rolling down surprised the Japanese army even more, because it meant that there was an ambush ahead.

But it was too late to know, and the dense gunfire soon rang out, and the bullets flew to the open ground like eyes, knocking down the Japanese soldiers who were still advancing towards the mountains one by one.

The Japanese troops climbing on the steep slope were neither advancing nor retreating at this time.

Come in, they don't know the location of the enemy above at all, and they can be killed by the enemy with just a probe.

Let's retreat, not to mention that the Japanese soldiers do not retreat lightly. There were also patches of bullets blocking the back.

But they only had time to be stunned, because it wasn't long before they noticed a large row of smoke-emitting grenades rolling over their heads......

"Attack!" Hideo Nagasawa shouted.

At this time, they have only one choice, and that is to attack. Because their way out, that is, the jungle has been blown up into a sea of fire by incendiary bombs.

The Japanese then charged their unknown line of defense amid the explosion of grenades.

However, charging doesn't mean there is a way out.

The soldiers of the first battalion were veterans who had fought all the way from Burma, and even most of them were engineers, so they knew very well how to use the terrain to build fortifications...... They didn't build the trenches directly on the side of a steep slope.

There are real advantages to building trenches on the edge of steep slopes. That is, the Japanese army who could reach the steep slope with just a little leaning out of the trench...... But such fortifications are actually very dangerous in actual combat.

Reason 1: Our army will see the enemy when it leans out, which means that the enemy will also see our army, although our army has the advantage of geographical height. However, the Japanese on the steep slope had a superior firepower, and they could also hide in the salient on the steep slope and shoot at our troops.

Reason 2: If the fortifications are built next to a steep slope, then when the enemy gets too close, it will bring many disadvantages, such as the Japanese army can throw grenades into our trenches, and it is difficult for our army to threaten these Japanese troops with grenades...... The grenade is round and rolls down when thrown.

For example, if the Japanese army only needs to dig a hole in the face of the steep slope and load it with explosives, it is possible to blow up the trench that is too close to the steep slope.

Reason 3: The trenches built next to the steep slopes are likely to encounter a problem, that is, the Japanese army pressed the fire of machine guns and grenadiers so that our troops in the trenches could not raise their heads, and then a charge entered the trenches to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

So the fighters didn't do it, they built the trench more than 20 meters behind the steep slope, so that all the problems were solved.

It is impossible for the Japanese troops on the steep slope to throw grenades into our trenches, and the Japanese firepower will be blocked by the corner of the steep slope, and even their charge will be divided into two sections by the corner of the steep slope...... At this corner, the Japanese had to climb up before they could continue to charge, so there was inevitably a delay.

Just like now, the Japanese soldiers climbed up the corner in rows...... Even if a few Japanese soldiers were lucky enough to climb up, they soon found that they were the only ones who could charge, and that they were no threat to the enemy's line at all.

The disadvantage of this fortification was that the soldiers in the trenches could not see the Japanese troops hiding around the corner.

But it didn't really matter, because the fighters didn't need to see, they just threw the grenades around the corner, and listened to the grenades explode on the steep slope and the ghosts screamed.

There were some smart Japanese soldiers, they knew that in such a situation to hide in the upper part of the steep slope and then find a place to hide, it is not easy to be blown up by grenades...... As I said before, the grenade is round and will roll down.

But even this could not stop the call of death to them.
