Chapter 315

"All units, attention! Prepare for ten-round rapid fire! Fire!" At the artillery position, row after row of heavy-caliber guns stood in perfect order. As the command echoed, a violent bombardment was unleashed in an instant. Caught in the frontal assault, many of the Japanese troops in the vanguard were wiped out before they could even react. The rear units, hearing the cries of battle, were terrified into frantically digging defensive works on the spot. However, as the primary offensive force, the Japanese sappers had limited supplies. Even with frantic last-minute efforts, it was impossible to construct solid fortifications in such a short time. They could only dig shallow foxholes, hoping to find some form of cover.
