We smoked and burst into flames under the front line of the Japanese army, and passed quickly, that is, we relied on this round of sudden artillery fire to blind the Japanese army, so that we could go so smoothly.

The cover of artillery fire, coupled with the small number of people in our team and the ability to maneuver very quickly, were the biggest reasons why we were in danger this time.

Passing through the smoke of the shells, and looking back behind them, everyone looked like they had just crawled out of the chimney.

Carol's appearance is the most exaggerated, his face is tense, and his serious face is particularly black. Ani couldn't help but laugh as she watched him walk by.

Carol grimaced and said, "What's so funny, I think the funniest thing should be our Commander's Excellency." ”

Ani asked curiously, "What's so funny about the commander?" He really rushed over with us, and there were no casualties. ”

Carol said coldly, "Isn't it funny? How are we going to rush back after we rush up? Call for artillery cover again? Do you really think that the Japanese army is all decorations? ”

Ani looked at Carol suspiciously, quickly caught up with me, and said, "Brother An, did you hear what he said?" ”

I said, "I hear you." I have my own way to go back......"

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Japanese artillery fire was retaliating towards the east bank.

I immediately told the signal corps, saying: "Send a message to the east bank and tell them to stop the shelling!" If we continue to fight, we will not attract the artillery fire of other troops to our heads. ”

Although the military headquarters has issued an order that all units are strictly prohibited from shelling the West Bank in the next few days, it is said that there will be no accidents. However, our military discipline has always been lax, and it is impossible to say which one of us will be able to give a shot to the other side of the strait.

Now under our feet is the front line of the first defensive position of the Japanese army, and above our head is the main fort position of the Japanese army.

I called out to Carol and said, "Second Lieutenant Carol, you can now show off your skills and mark every military target you can see!" Back on the East Coast, because of these exploits, you can be promoted to lieutenant with epaulettes. I'm going to congratulate you first. ”

Carol muttered, "Our ranks aren't as casual as your army's!" ”

From where I am, I can clearly see through the telescope the situation in the abandoned cave where Huang Wenlie suffered so much last time.

With Ani's marksmanship, he could even easily defeat the Japanese machine gunners hiding in caves here. Because of the condescending view of the mountain, the simple bunkers piled up at the mouth of the cave have become meaningless.

Ani also saw it itching in the scope, sighed and said: "If it weren't as good as this mission, I can shoot one shot now, at least three machine gunners in the opposite cave, and they may not be able to detect me." ”

Tan Weimin said: "Why didn't I see you? ”

Ani said, "You were shot, what was the first thing you saw?" It's the front! And not the top of your head. In a matter of seconds, I was already hiding. ”

I held up my binoculars and looked at the location of the Japanese bunkers, and occasionally I could see Japanese troops coming in and out of the camouflaged bunkers.

Because the trees in front of the bunker have been cut down, from my point of view, it is equivalent to looking at the bunker from the bunker's point of view, and there is almost no hidden place in front of the bunker.

Staff Officer Liang was puzzled and said, "Why did the Japanese cut down all the trees in front of their position?" Wouldn't it be better for them to have some concealment, and they could rely on concealment to set up a few more defenses? ”

I said, "Yes, I'm also wondering that their first defense position can rely on these trees for defense, but the Japanese army has cut down all the trees......"

I wondered what kind of strategic considerations the Japanese army was out of. It is necessary to cut off all the existing defenses in front of your position.

I tried to imagine myself as a Japanese soldier and see things from their point of view.

After watching and thinking about it for a long time, I vaguely understood the reason why the Japanese army cut down the trees, they were to broaden their defensive vision when the enemy attacked.

The attacking side attacked upwards under the bare mountain, and there was no concealment, and such an attack was basically to send the Japanese army a target for gun training!

I told Staff Officer Liang and Zhang Da what I thought, and Staff Officer Liang took the binoculars and looked at it for a long time, frowned and said: "What Chief An said has some truth, but doesn't the Japanese army want its own first line of defense?" ”

I shook my head and said, "We're all guessing, and no one can predict the real battle. If our army is a general attack, the Japanese army can hold us up in a defensive position. If it's a joint attack of several divisions, I guess this defensive position is simply a decoy ......"

Zhang Da was not convinced, and said: "Even if it is a bait, I'm afraid it's useless." The devil thinks that with these bunkers in the main peak position, he can block the large-scale attack of several of our divisions? It's too wishful thinking. ”

I don't know if what Zhang Da said is right, and it may not be known whether the Japanese army fought as we suspected. But after so many years of fighting, I know one thing, we have been fighting the Japanese army for many years, and we have always been on the defensive and the Japanese army on the offensive.

In other words, we are too accustomed to how to defend, and we are actually not confident in the means of attack.

And for the Japanese troops on the defensive, they also had a huge advantage, that is, they never showed us what they were on the defensive.

The Japanese army is now the mysterious side, and we do not know what kind of means of defense they have. The Japanese army has not fought a defensive war for too long, and we have not fought an offensive war for too long.

"I think...... We should go up and have a look! Zhai Meng, who had been silent, suddenly said.

"You're even crazier than your chief!" Carol said after listening to Tan Weimin's translation.

Zhai Meng stopped talking, he just said this on a whim, and he stopped speaking immediately after being vetoed.

"Maybe you can try?" I looked around.

"The enemy's main position is not as well prepared as this first defensive position, and our thirty people will inevitably have no return if we enter. Even though you are the commander of this operation, I cannot obey this ridiculous order! "Staff Officer Liang's opposition this time has no room for manoeuvre.

I smiled and said, "Staff Officer Liang, don't get excited, I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously." ”

Zhai Meng spoke again and said, "Company Commander An, if you want to go, I'll accompany you!" ”

Ani couldn't help but say, "Even if you are with you, I can't go." ”

I looked at the sky, and it was already white, and it was about to dawn. I don't have the heart to take the risk, now that our mission is almost complete, Carroll has marked the exact coordinates of all the military targets we can see in the West Bank, and I believe that the commanders of the military department will be happy to get this data back.
