As the saying goes, "if you can't bear the child and can't catch the wolf", you can't get greater benefits if you don't take a little risk on the battlefield, and the officers of the expeditionary force know this, so they have no opinion on Zhang Chi's plan, so this plan was quickly implemented.

At 4:50 a.m., after a fifty-minute march, a battalion of troops of the 2nd Regiment finally started the battle on the 382nd height.

To be precise, it took the soldiers more than 20 minutes to reach the 382 heights, and although the next 10 minutes did not start the battle, it was actually a battle, because the soldiers of the first battalion had infiltrated the 382 heights where the Japanese troops were stationed, and at the moment of the battle, they all crossed the halfway of the 382 heights and advanced towards the Japanese army's hilltop position.

How could the soldiers of the first battalion cross the Japanese defense line and go deep into the hinterland so easily before being discovered?!

Before the start of the war, Zhang Chi and the officers of the expeditionary force carefully reconnoitred and analyzed the situation of the Japanese troops on the 382nd Heights, and the Japanese troops stationed on this high ground had a characteristic, that is, the composition was very complicated...... They included the Japanese 109th Division, Korean and Okinawan engineers (some of whom were used to construct tunnel fortifications and airfields, which were not completed when the Chinese troops arrived), and the Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps.

The complex composition also means that there are loopholes to drill, so Zhang Chi immediately brought Park Zhongjiong and his party from the army...... They were originally Korean sappers placed by the Japanese army, but they surrendered during the Battle of Kuah Island and were absorbed by the expeditionary force, and they were used at this time.

Then, Wu Yuhang ordered all these people to change into Japanese military uniforms...... Although the Japanese army had left many corpses behind during the attack on the Chinese defense line the night before, a considerable part of those corpses had been charred and blackened by flamethrowers, so it was a bit difficult to assemble more than 900 sets of Japanese uniforms.

(Note: Because the Chinese army is unified with the US Marine Corps, there are more than 900 people in one battalion...... The standard should be 954 men, including three rifle companies of 240 men and a mortar platoon armed with four 81 mm M1 mortars, plus a battalion headquarters of 213 men. ）

However, it was still Park Chung-hyung, a cadre of the original Korean sappers, who had a way, and they piled all the tattered military uniforms that were taken off the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and then took out needles and threads and scissors to "tear down the east wall and make up the west wall", and soon a set of Japanese military uniforms and even military hats appeared in front of the soldiers, and even sometimes the size and size could be done according to the requirements.

The Chinese army is not surprised by this...... Park Zhongjiong and others are North Korean sappers, North Korean sappers are inferior people in the Japanese military system, so don't you often do things like sewing and mending?! Just like the Chinese army used to be at home, it was rare to wear a new military uniform.

Then the group walked all the way up the mountain road of the 382 Heights, and when they encountered a Japanese sentry, Park Zhongjiong and others responded...... Although it is not Japanese who can distinguish between Japanese and Japanese, the identity of Park Zhongjiong and others was originally "Korean sappers", which made the first battalion easily cross the Japanese defense line and go straight to the hilltop position.

It wasn't until a few genuine Okinawan sappers walked into the team in a daze that they walked with the soldiers, and as they walked, they realized that something was wrong...... Although this unit is said to be a "North Korean sapper", how can the weapons and equipment be so advanced, there are machine guns and mortars, as well as bazookas and flamethrowers, and then take a serious look at the rifles in the hands of these soldiers.

This is not to say that the first battalion does not know this, but the gap between Japanese equipment and American equipment is too big, and it is used to using American equipment and suddenly using 38 big covers, which is all kinds of unsuitable...... This will reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops in stages, so the first battalion would rather risk being detected than change to Japanese-style equipment.

One of the things that the 1st Battalion was negligent about was that it would allow a few real Japanese soldiers to sneak in without knowing it.

But then again, the soldiers were marching in the dark, and there were still enemies around, who would notice if there were a few more "outsiders" in the ranks.

As a result, these Okinawan sappers suddenly shouted "wah-la-wah-wah" and were about to start their guns...... When the soldiers of the first battalion saw that the situation was not right, they immediately attacked them three or two times and knocked them to the ground, but they still let one of the Japanese soldiers shoot them into the air.

This shot stabbed the hornet's nest, and the surrounding Japanese troops became suspicious and gathered towards the position of the first battalion.

Chen Zhongyu saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply didn't do anything, and ordered: "Brothers, rush!" ”

"Rush!"

……

The battle for Heights 382 began.

The battle in this direction was simple, the capture of the hilltop positions on the 382 heights.

The hilltop position is definitely a top priority for the highlands full of tunnels...... The reason is that the tunnels are dug in the mountains, which means that all the tunnels and the mouth of the tunnels are lower than the summit position.

If the hilltop position is in the hands of the Japanese army, then the Japanese army can rely on the hilltop position and the tunnel to cooperate with each other and flexibly attack the attacking enemy from all directions.

However, if the hilltop position was in the hands of the expeditionary force, then the Japanese army would be immobilized as if it had been crushed by a boulder overhead...... All of their activities are confined to the tunnels, which can be suppressed or killed by the enemy at the top of the mountain.

In fact, this is not only the case in the 382 Highlands, but also in the Oriba Mountain.

The attack of a regiment on Oriba Mountain is also to seize the top position of Oribo Mountain and hold it, as long as it can be held until dawn, then everything will be easy to do.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chi chose to start the operation at four o'clock in the morning...... By the time the troops had reached the top of the hill and held it for a while, it was almost dawn.

As soon as the sky dawns, the Chinese Navy's naval guns and fighter planes can provide fire assistance to the troops stationed at the top of the mountain, and at the same time, the troops at the top of the mountain can also cooperate with the attacking troops at the foot of the mountain to block the Japanese tunnels one by one.

Regarding the battle on the 382 Heights, Zhang Chi was not very worried...... The Japanese troops on the 382 heights were mixed, and the contradictions between the Japanese navy and the army were very deep, and it was difficult for them to form a unified command in this dark night, so the problem of initially controlling this high ground was not very big.

The problem lies in Oribayama.

At the moment when the guns rang out at Heights 382, a regiment of three battalions that had been prepared for a long time flipped out of the Higgins ship and swam towards the Ori Bowl Mountain.

Now, it's up to the Japanese army in Oriba Mountain to react!
