Zhang Chi had only one choice, that is, to force the fear in his heart and the desire to escape to move forward.

He never felt that walking was so difficult. He was walking step by step, just towards the god of death and towards the gate of hell. While walking, Zhang Chi cursed in his heart: What the hell is this?! Isn’t it better to decide the winner and lose with both sides, why do you need to die so many people to get the result that was already decided?

However, these results may be known to Zhang Chi, but not to people in this time and space, so they still have to fight with their lives and blood.

Just like for ten thousand years, the team finally lurked to the edge of the forest.

In front was a vast area of ​​more than 100 meters. The Japanese army used the airport bulldozers to flatten all the trees on the steep slope, and even left the stump. (Note: The stump may be used by the enemy as a cover during the attack.)

This arrangement of the Japanese army was still very wise.

First, if there is no open space between the jungle and the airport defense line as a buffer zone, then the Chinese army can use trees to rush to the Japanese army.

Secondly, the range of the Japanese 38th large caps was farther than that of the Hanyang Made in the hands of the Engineer Regiment, and the Japanese army was well-trained and accurate in shooting skills. This arrangement can give full play to its advantages as much as possible.

Just like now, if the expeditionary force wants to launch a strong attack on the Japanese defense line, it must rush through the open area of ​​more than a hundred meters in front of him.

Needless to say, the difficulties and dangers are there. Although the Expeditionary Force is relatively high, because there are no trees and grass for cover, this condescending advantage will turn the Expeditionary Force soldiers into targets.

When Zhang Chi lay down with an old tree as a cover, the surroundings soon became quiet.

The evening breeze with gunpowder rustled and occasionally heard a few terrifying hums from the open ground... They were the wounded soldiers left in the open ground during the feint attack by the Expeditionary Army soldiers. From the sound, we can see that they were very close to the Japanese position.

From this we can see how vicious the Japanese army's methods are...

These wounded men were so close to the Japanese position that the Japanese army was fully capable of shooting them to death or even capturing them.

But the Japanese army did not do this. They deliberately kept the wounded and left them on the open ground between the two armies.

As a half-military fan, Zhang Chi knew that this was another tactic of "surrounding the point and attacking the aid".

At this time, the embarrassing thing was the expeditionary army.

Should I save it or not?

Save it, it is obviously a trap set by the Japanese army. The wounded must have ambushed the Japanese firepower, and they just waited for the Expeditionary Force to go up to save people and shot one by one.

Don't save them... the wounded are all soldiers of the engineering regiment. The screams and sobs all sounded in the hearts of the soldiers. Some soldiers even thought: When the attack is strong, if they are injured, will they lie on the open ground like them?!

So taking it for granted, this will greatly affect the morale of the troops.

Zhang Chi told himself while panting: "It's okay, it's okay... All this is a dream, and you'll wake up soon!"

But the facts told him that this was not a dream, because he soon heard the company commander give an order: "The first and second rows are ready for combat, and the third rows of firepower cover!"

Zhang Chi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this order.

Fire cover...that is, you don’t have to rush forward when shooting in the back. It seems that you can still take advantage of the numbers behind.

Before Zhang Kuan could calm down, three red signal flares slowly rose into the air.

"Boom..." The first thing that started the battle was the artillery.

Although the 76MM field artillery carried by the 200th Division was only half of the 150MM field artillery of the Japanese army, Dai Anlan transferred all 20 artillery regiments, plus several mortars, to bomb the airport in a concentrated manner, and the power was still quite amazing.

At least for Zhang Chi, who had never seen the world, he saw that in the dark night, balls of flames burst into the sky at the Japanese airport. The bombed fortifications under the flames and the Japanese corpses thrown into the air were clearly visible, which was like an expeditionary force roaring at the Japanese army.

At this time, Zhang Chi suddenly understood why there was a "firepower preparation" like artillery bombing before the war.

Of course, its main purpose is to blow up enemy fortifications to reduce the difficulty of infantry attacks as much as possible. But at the same time, this is also a psychological tactic... The shells exploded in the enemy's position and made the Japanese army unable to fight back. To some extent, it was to boost courage for infantry.

At least this is very useful for Zhang Chi. Seeing such fierce artillery fire blowing up the airport, Zhang Chi even felt that the Japanese army had almost been blown up and the rest were waiting for the infantry to clean up the mess.

But this is actually just Zhang Chi's wishful thinking, or it can be said that Zhang Chi has never seen the world... This is not dense and the bombing time is only three minutes (this is already the limit of the shells that the 200th Division can put in). In the eyes of modern people like Zhang Chi who have never seen artillery fire preparations, they think that no one can survive in this situation.

However, as the saying goes, "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger." It is sometimes better for soldiers who go to the battlefield to fight, because this will give him the courage to fight.

Soon the cannon stopped, and then the company commander shouted: "Brothers, rush!"

"Run!" Two platoons of troops jumped out of the bunker and rushed towards the Japanese defense line with guns.

Only then did Zhang Chi realize that he was wrong... Because under the light of the flare, a head suddenly appeared at the airport, which was originally empty, with a gun in his hand, and the black muzzle was aimed at the Expeditionary Force soldiers rushing to the airport.

The dense gunfire sounded quickly. Zhang Chi looked at his comrades rushing to the airport in horror and fell down like wooden stakes. He even forgot to shoot.

However, the attack of the Expeditionary Army soldiers was not blocked by the Japanese bullets. The one in front fell down, and the soldiers behind stepped over the bodies of their comrades and continued to rush forward... As Wang Mazi told the soldiers before the war, the engineering regiment had escaped once, and this life could be said to have been recovered. Now even if you fight this life to get it back to the airport, it would be worth it!

Maybe it was for dignity, maybe I really thought that this life was recovered, and the soldiers rushed forward one after another, falling down batch after batch, and blood and corpses quickly covered the entire open area.

Ten minutes, only ten minutes before and after, two rows of seventy or eighty living lives disappeared without a trace in front of Zhang Chi in the blink of an eye.
