Cat ear piercing is actually not a high-tech one. It is very simple. Just dig a small hole in the back side of the trench that just allows a person to hide in. Because it looks very similar to a cat's ear, it is called "cat ear piercing".

Although it is just a small hole, it has a great effect.

First of all, the shells... It is conceivable that there were not many shells that could directly hit the trenches, and even if these shells could be blown up in the trenches, they would not hurt the soldiers hiding in the cat's ear pierce unless these shells hit the cat's ear pierce directly.

The second is the airplane. Even if the plane pours bullets into the trenches according to the trend of the trenches, it cannot hit the person huddled on the side wall.

Similarly, after having a cat's ear pierced, the Japanese grenade launcher dropped pieces of grenades, which caused much less casualties.

However, it is true in theory, but it is not a happy thing to hide in cat ear piercings in reality... whistling and explosions are everywhere outside, the air is filled with the heat and smell of gunpowder from the explosion of shells, but I hide in a narrow space, feeling the vibration caused by the explosion of shells around, and the mud falling from the top of my head, and I don’t even have space to move.

This was the first time that Zhang Chi was trapped in the Japanese army's firepower preparations.

Looking back on the past, Zhang Chi felt that he was too lucky and had fought so many battles... For example, Tonggu breakout, Waxing Iron Bridge, and Ren'anqiang, each battle faced a lot of Japanese troops, but he was not bombarded by Japanese planes and artillery fire once. Now he finally felt it.

Hiding in the cat's ear, Zhang Chi even had a strong urge to rush out, because he didn't feel that it was safe to stay in this simple fortification. It could be bombed by shells at any time and buried itself in it.

But at the same time, Zhang Chi knew that he could not go out because if it was not safe here, it would be even more unsafe outside...at least there were no shrapnel flying around here.

Later, Zhang Chi realized that the soldiers could not help but run out... Many of the engineers were recruits who had just added in. They had no such experience or relevant training. A few of them were so scared that they ran around outside, but later they could no longer find them, and they disappeared like this, without even the body.

Just as a century later, the Japanese artillery fire finally slowed down.

But before Zhang Chi could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a harsh whistle sound outside. After the whistle, the devil's quarrel was clamoring: "Everything comes out, prepare for battle, the Japanese are coming!"

Zhang Chi almost crawled out of the mound, because the cat's ear pierced had filled the soil that fell or exploded.

When I climbed out, I saw that the scenery outside had changed. There were weeds everywhere around the high ground. At this time, it was gone as if it had been plowed by someone. Instead, it was filled with bumpy bullet craters. Several nearby pine trees were also blown up to leave only tree stumps... But this is also a good thing. The devil was worried that the trees would be used by the Japanese army as cover for attack. Before, because the battle was too tense, he didn't have time to cut them down. The Japanese artillery fire helped them a little favor.

Without thinking too much, Zhang Chi grabbed the gun and lay on the trench that had become a small ditch and prepared for battle.

Looking down, the Japanese attacked Tangji, Highland 159 and Highland 311 at the same time. Among them, the most Japanese were from the 159 Highland, and the dense ones were afraid that there was a squadron.

However, this is not surprising. The reason is that the 159 highland is located at the forefront of the highway. Whether the Japanese want to attack Tangji or the 311 highland, they have to pass through the 159 highland and illuminate their backs or flanks in front of the 159 highland. Therefore, this 159 highland is naturally a thorn in the Japanese army's eyes, and they must be pulled out.

However, it was beyond Zhang Chi's expectations that the attack on the high ground like the Japanese and attacking in three directions.

The Japanese army is not a fool. They were ambushed by our army just now. We should know that the firepower of the Central Team stationed in Tangji is not weak. They should even see that Tangji and the 159th and 311th highlands can support each other. So why do they still rush up like this?

Then Zhang Chi quickly understood: the Japanese army underestimated the enemy. They thought that the bombing of the plane and cannon just now had almost hit the Chinese people. Or, they wanted to take advantage of the Chinese people before they could react from the fierce artillery fire just now and seize the 159 high ground with lightning speed.

In fact, Zhang Chi only guessed half of it.

The commander of the 56th Division's 133rd Regiment was directed by Kiyosuke Matsui.

Speaking of this, Kiyosuke Matsui and the Engineer Regiment are really destined to be together. At the Battle of Wajie Iron Bridge and afterwards, the parts of the engineering corps broke through were all Matsui Kiyosuke's troops... The first brigade under Kiyosuke Matsui's assistant also suffered heavy casualties in the breakout battle of the Engineering corps, and even the captain Yuta Harada committed suicide and died for the country.

Matsui Kiyosuke felt guilty about that battle, because Yuta Harada reminded him several times that the Chinese had tanks and were advanced American tanks, but Matsui Kiyosuke didn't take it seriously. It was later proved that Matsui Kiyosuke was wrong, and Matsui Kiyosuke also paid a heavy price for it... His first brigade was almost beaten and lost its combat effectiveness.

Of course, Kiyosuke Matsui would not admit the mistake he made. It has become a thing of the past with Yuta Harada's suicide.

But what Matsui Kiyosuke didn't expect was that he would once again encounter a similar team on the way to Lashio... The other party had dozens of advanced American tanks, the rifle was from the British Enfield, but it was from the Chinese soldiers.

"Is it that Chinese army again?" Kiyosuke Matsui couldn't help but feel a little angry, and the Chinese army actually caused heavy casualties and injuries to his troops once they met.

At this time, Kiyosuke Matsui received a call from the division commander: "Do you encounter an enemy ahead?"

"Lieutenant General!" Matsui replied: "The enemy has dozens of American tanks, and the firepower is very fierce, and our troops are suffering heavy casualties!"

"Matsui Kan!" Masao Watanabe said impatiently on the phone: "What I want to hear is not the enemy's situation. We don't have much time left. I just want to know when you can destroy this force and continue moving forward!"

"Yes!" Kiyosuke Matsui gritted his teeth and said, "Lieutenant General, I need the assistance of artillery and the air force. I will take down Tomochi before dark!"

"Very good!" Masao Watanabe hung up the phone without saying anything.
