The young squad leader, Ōno Yūma, watched with satisfaction as Squad Leader Shiraishi led his entire squad of thirteen Japanese soldiers, rushing quickly to the slope.

The heavy machine gun was quickly set up, and the light machine gun was also erected. The rest of the Japanese soldiers all leaned their rifles against the slope. This slope was truly a good one, not only providing protection for the squad but also perfectly allowing them to set up their machine guns and rifles.

This was a natural fortification! It was simply too good.

Nakamura Takumi led the second squad, hiding behind a large rock. Their position was even more advantageous. Besides the fact that the rock was too large to mount weapons on, there were no other drawbacks.

The larger the rock, the greater the protection it provided for the Japanese soldiers hiding behind it, which was a good thing.

If he hadn't seen the corpse of Squad Leader Eguchi Hikaru also lying behind the large rock, Squad Leader Ōno would have wanted to stand behind the large rock to command the battle.

Now that he wasn't going to stand behind the large rock, he could only lie in this position and command the battle.

The artillery bombardment arranged by Captain Yamaguchi Shō from behind was exploding on the hillside, and the shells fired by the defenders from behind the mountain were also crashing down.

Squad Leader Ōno Yūma watched as the first squad, hiding below the slope, all fell to the ground in this sudden bombardment, with not even a single Japanese soldier struggling or moaning.

All thirteen Japanese soldiers hiding behind this natural fortification died, not one of them survived. The heavy machine gun they had just set up was now lying crookedly on the ground.

The barrel was clearly deformed. Beside it, there was not only the corpse of a Japanese soldier but also another heavy machine gun lying there quietly.

The two heavy machine guns accompanied each other so quietly, along with the corpses of more than twenty Japanese soldiers on the ground, it looked as if they were mocking Squad Leader Ōno Yūma's command.

Clearly, the previous squad had suffered a devastating blow in this position, yet he had sent another squad over. Wasn't this obviously being bombed twice in the same pit?

This was impossible! This was not scientific!

Squad Leader Ōno Yūma kept affirming himself in his heart: It is impossible for two shells to fall into the same shell crater on the battlefield. This is common sense. I am commanding the operation according to common sense and science.

Ōno Yūma had his science and common sense, and the artillery platoon of the Seventh Company behind the mountain also had its own science and common sense.

Artillery Platoon Leader Yu Tianyou listened to Squad Leader Lu Yinglang's phone call: "Good job, you've killed all the Japanese soldiers in positions three and five again."

Hearing Squad Leader Lu's praise, Yu Tianyou finally breathed a sigh of relief: The artillery platoon's training in the past two years has been to break common sense.

In order to accurately hit the same position with the same shell, the soldiers' training has never been less. For two years, there has been the same training content every week, and the bombardment of these fixed positions has long been engraved in the soldiers' bones.

The efforts of the artillery platoon's soldiers finally paid off today.

Company Commander Zhang Xuefeng also called to praise Platoon Leader Yu for his good and wonderful work. That large rock was naturally formed and belonged to natural conditions. The Japanese soldiers would definitely hide behind it. Initially, Squad Leader Lu suggested blowing up the large rock to prevent the Japanese soldiers from hiding.

However, Company Commander Zhang had other plans, so he left the large rock behind.

This was discovered by Company Commander Zhang when he received the defense mission, and the slope was specially modified by Company Commander Zhang's organization.

The purpose was of course only one: to set a trap for the attacking Japanese soldiers. This trap has been set for almost two years.

The traces of artificial excavation that year became very natural after being decorated by spring weeds, and after being washed by summer rainstorms, no traces of artificial work could be seen at all.

Today, it proves that all this is worthwhile. Being able to continuously kill Japanese soldiers here, these projects have not been in vain. Squad Leader Ōno Yūma will never know the efforts of the artillery platoon's soldiers, but he can feel it.

In that best hiding position, behind a large rock: the thirteen Japanese soldiers of the second squad were the same, none of the thirteen Japanese soldiers were spared, and all of them died.

This was also a good location! It was like a command post that had been prepared long ago. Hiding behind it, there was no need to worry about being hit by bullets from the hillside at all.

When the Japanese soldiers of the second squad rushed here, that's what they thought. They were behind this rock, and some Japanese soldiers even stood up straight very comfortably.

Then they were bombarded by artillery shells, which exploded accurately beside them as if they had eyes.

The attack had just begun, and the machine guns of the defenders on the hillside had just opened fire, and Ōno Yūma's subordinates had been reduced by half. How could they fight?

Two or three of the Japanese soldiers with him also fell, but the cannon fodder were now scattered on the hillside, and surprisingly, there were no casualties.

These Japanese soldiers simply fell to the ground pretending to be dead. They didn't fire a shot and didn't move at all. Although they didn't know that the large rock and the slope were traps set by the defenders. Although they also wanted to hide in those two safe positions, as cannon fodder, Matsumoto Kaede and the others were not qualified to do so.

Therefore, they could only crawl on the hillside, looking for positions that were not easily swept by machine guns to hide, mingling with the corpses around them, and then began to gamble their lives.

Squad Leader Ōno Yūma was now in a bit of a dilemma: the machine guns and grenade launchers of his squad had all been lost in the bombardment just now. Should he continue the attack?

What was the price of an attack without heavy firepower cover? He was very clear about it.

Thinking of this, Squad Leader Ōno Yūma ordered: "Saito Jin! Immediately take two soldiers up and blow them up!"

He was going to fulfill Squad Leader Eguchi's last wish. Squad Leader Eguchi Hikaru was killed by the explosion before he could even say the order.

Now Squad Leader Ōno finally issued the order, and Sergeant Saito Jin immediately selected Chika's Takeo and Domoto Takumi to cooperate with him to complete the task.

Squad Leader Ōno Yūma led the remaining Japanese soldiers and dared not go to the two shelters that were obviously the best hiding places. He chose the other side, so that the machine guns on the hillside could not hit them.

They now only needed to wait quietly for the machine gun fire to be blown up before rushing up.

Squad Leader Lu on the hillside observed the movements of the Japanese soldiers and saw a group of Japanese soldiers at position eleven.

Squad Leader Lu immediately reported to Company Commander Li: "There are more than a dozen Japanese soldiers at position eleven!"

Saito Jin led two Japanese soldiers and quickly climbed up the hillside. They still didn't dare to get too close, as the artillery bombardment commanded by Captain Yamaguchi Shō was still continuing.

If they got too close to the fortifications on the hillside, they would be injured by fragments of their own shells. Just as they were waiting.

The bombardment from behind the hillside came again. After the last bombardment, Yamaguchi Shō also had his subordinates bombard the back of the hillside, trying to suppress the defenders' artillery fire.

After only one round of bombardment, the defenders' artillery fire stopped, and Captain Yamaguchi Shō ordered his subordinates to continue bombarding the hilltop.

Now seeing shells flying out from behind the hillside again, he immediately ordered to continue bombarding the back of the hillside, wanting to take out the artillery behind the mountain.

The artillery platoon soldiers who had fired three consecutive rounds of mortar shells finished firing in less than a minute and immediately retreated back into the tunnel.

This was still the artillery rule set by Lin Fan: fast shooting, fast transfer, and not staying in the same place for more than three minutes.

They ran fast, and the Japanese soldiers' bombardment couldn't find the target at all, just blindly bombing randomly as if by chance. In fact, even if the artillery platoon didn't run back to the air-raid shelter so quickly, it wouldn't be easy to be bombed, after all, the back mountain was so big.

Although the Japanese soldiers' bombardment was not accurate, the bombardment by the soldiers commanded by Platoon Leader Yu Tianyou was carried out entirely according to the firing elements that had been adjusted in advance, and they also trained frequently.

Squad Leader Ōno Yūma never expected that he would die so quickly after going to the battlefield.

Several shells landed on the position where they were hiding, and there were now less than ten Japanese soldiers alive in the Ōno squad. The squad leader and squad leaders were all dead.

Saito Jin, who was originally watching his side's artillery fire extend to the back of the mountain, was just about to get up and continue climbing up.

Hearing the exclamations from the foot of the mountain about the death of the squad leader, Saito Jin hesitated: Should he continue to rush up?

Hesitation itself was an attitude. Just as he hesitated, Chika's Takeo immediately suggested from behind: "The squad leader has fallen, let's go back and see what's going on first."

With this step, Saito Jin followed the trend and came down. When the three Japanese soldiers returned to the starting point. They immediately rejoiced that they had retreated. In the bombardment just now, many more Japanese soldiers in the entire squad had died. There were less than ten Japanese soldiers alive in the Ōno squad, and there were four wounded. Half of the Japanese soldiers who served as cannon fodder had also died in this wave, and the remaining four Japanese soldiers had already retreated.

Two Japanese soldiers were helping one wounded soldier, so they had a reason to go back. The fireworks that Captain Yamaguchi Shō was watching were still bombarding the hilltop.

The attacking troops retreated without permission. He counted and found that twelve Japanese soldiers had retreated. There were more than sixty Japanese soldiers when they attacked!

After two consecutive attacks, the total time spent was less than two hours, and they were defeated?

Captain Yamaguchi Shō stared fixedly at the road the Japanese soldiers retreated on. There were only twelve, and no more Japanese soldiers retreated.

Two squads, one hundred and eight Japanese soldiers, only twelve were left?
