“” Bang! Bang! “”
Two grenades were directly thrown into the opened entrance of the passage.
Seconds later, two muffled explosions sounds echoed directly from the entrance of the passage.
After completing these tasks, a few soldiers carrying submachine guns moved cautiously towards the entrance of the passage under the command of the officer.
The other soldiers beside them were also prepared, gripping their rifles tightly and pointing their barrels directly at the entrance of the passage that had just been blasted by grenades and still billowing with smoke.
Should there be any abnormality at the entrance, they would fire their weapons at once!
However, until the soldiers at the entrance of the passage had entered the passage, there were no abnormalities of any kind in the passage itself.
The calm scene eased the hearts of the soldiers near the entrance of the passage.
At that moment——
Gurgling……
In the dim passage, several faint clinks of collision sounded suddenly.
One soldier instinctively turned his gaze towards the source of the sound.
At the moment when his gaze touched the two objects on the ground——
"It's a grenade!"
In that instant, as the soldier saw the dark grenades on the ground, every hair on his body stood on end!
The bodies of those who were new to war froze in that moment, completely unable to make any effective response.
The next moment——
Bang! Bang!
A sudden, intense roar echoed through the dimly lit passage!
…
Damn it!
Listening to the loud explosion and following screams echoing through the passage, the Japanese village commander's face turned an ashen shade outside.
"You lot, go in and drag those goddamn camels out! I want to skin them slice by slice, using their blood to consecrate our warriors!!"
After a loud swear word, the Japanese village commander turned his gaze towards a few soldiers nearby and shouted angrily.
The soldiers who were called out turned pale at once.
Although they were just ordinary soldiers and had no real combat experience, as the elite of the Japanese village, they were not mere yahoos who could only shout "banzai."
They were very clear that they didn't know what was inside the passage yet. The previous explosion had already sufficiently proven that the camels inside were definitely prepared!
Going in at this moment, the only outcome for them would be to become cannon fodder for the camels inside!
Almost instinctively, the soldiers wanted to refuse.
But then they thought of their current status and the overseers behind them.
The soldiers finally had to grit their teeth and force themselves to head towards the entrance of the passage.
Listening to the continuous wails echoing from within the passage, the soldiers felt their scalp tingling even more.
Uncontrollable fear began to sprout up in the hearts of the soldiers without them realizing it.
"There's someone!!"
As soon as the soldier stepped into the passage, he let out a shout of surprise, followed by—
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The trigger of the assault rifle in the soldier's hand was pulled hard!
A burst of bullets was shot out from the barrel.
The remaining soldiers also shivered, forgetting about everything else, instinctively pointing their gun barrels in the direction indicated by their colleague. Streams of fire were shot out from the gun barrels of the soldiers one after another.
It took nearly ten seconds for the sound to finally cease.
Only then, did the soldiers come to their senses.
After a brief glance, the soldiers who were at the front took out their rifles' magazine, swallowed hard, turned on their emergency flashlight and proceeded into the dimly lit passage.
The passage was not long, just a few meters, when they reached a corner.
The concrete-reinforced walls at the corner were already pockmarked with bullet holes.
Without doubt, these were the marks they had just left!
Aside from the bullet holes they had left, there was only one body turned into pulp on the scene. Upon closer inspection, the uniform worn by the body was strikingly similar to the one they, as soldiers, wore.
"It's Murakami!"
After careful examination, through the holes in the head and the remaining ID card, they recognized his identity.
One of the members from the group that had just entered the passage, their comrade-in-arms!
"Did we kill him?" After recognizing his identity, the soldiers felt pale.
They had just joined the battlefield and hadn't even seen their enemy yet, but they had already killed one of their own? And not just killed him, but blown him to smithereens?
Thinking of this, the soldiers' faces grew even more somber.
At that moment, a loud shout resounded: "Musha! Murakami was killed by those damned camels! We must avenge him!"
Hearing this, the soldiers were startled, and then immediately came back to their senses, "Yes, Murakami was killed by the camels. He was our hero! We must avenge him, capture those damned camels and use their blood to consecrate our warrior!"
One voice after another, continuing one after another.
After being reminded, everyone pushed the responsibility onto the camels.
At that moment——
Gurgling...
Several sounds of object collision and rolling echoed through the dimly lit passage once again.
Ignoring the gravity of the situation, the soldiers who were trying to shift responsibility and pump themselves up were completely unaware of it.
Not long after—
Bang! Bang! Bang!
…………
"Attack again! Attack again!"
"Continue the attack! What's wrong with all of you? Can't you take down one damn passage?"
"Fourth team, continue the attack! If you can't take down this underground passage, I will shoot you!"
"Charge!!"
At the entrance of the underground passage that had been completely opened on the first line of defense, "Camel 1", an officer from the Japanese village shouted with bloodshot eyes.
Fifteen minutes!!
From the moment they discovered the entrance to the underground passage, it had been over ten minutes!
In the span of ten minutes, they had sent out dozens of soldiers into the passage.
However, until now, they had only advanced less than fifty meters!
During this time, they had tried countless methods, such as throwing grenades every few meters or having people carry steel plates in front.
But it didn't help.
The tunnel was not straight, and the grenades couldn't be thrown far enough!
As for carrying steel plates, the grenades that would suddenly appear from nowhere could not be blocked by them, and more importantly, the camels had RPGs!
Each corner was a point of life or death for them!
One RPG round could take out anything, let alone the thin steel plates, except for the armor of a main battle tank!
The passage inside seems like an endless abyss. No matter how many people they send in, they will all be completely consumed!
The time given to him was only half an hour!
Now, half of the given time has passed, and they haven't even managed to breach a single underground passage!
Moreover, it's not just that. Everywhere on the battlefield is filled with these holes.
The camels are like rats, occasionally popping out to throw a grenade at them or fire a burst of bullets at them from behind.
They suffered a total of hundreds of casualties from the mountain to here, but in just ten minutes after entering the position, their casualties had already exceeded 400!
"Kazama, we can't keep fighting like this. We have no idea of the situation inside these tunnels. We don't know how many people or weapons there are. And with the narrow terrain inside, our advantage cannot be fully utilized. We can only be on the defensive and receive fire. Continuing to send soldiers in will only increase casualties!"
Seeing the bloodshot-eyed commander once again ordering his soldiers to enter the passage as cannon fodder, another commander from the Japanese village finally lost his patience and shouted out in anger.
Before waiting for an answer from the other side, his voice resounded again:
"I suggest using tanks to blow up the discovered passage entrances and bury those damned camels inside! Then contact the command center and request them to send special ammunition from the rear!"
Upon hearing this, Oda Jiro, in his rage, also came to his senses.
Looking at the other side, Oda Jiro took a deep breath and then looked at the channel filled with countless dead bodies with a fierce expression, gritted his teeth and said:
"Do as you say. Have the tanks come. Burry those goddamn camels!"
…………
"Has the position not been captured yet?"
Hearing the news from the front, beside Shamazaki Heisuke, the black and white hawk village's supervising officer was somewhat dissatisfied.
Hearing the clearly dissatisfied voice of the other party, Shamazaki Heisuke's expression turned ugly.
Several times, he couldn't help but want to get angry.
But thinking about the other party's identity, he could only suppress his anger.
Then, he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Our men have surged forward and planted the flag at the highest point of the position. The position has been captured. Now there are only some foolish camels left on the battlefield, which is not worth worrying about..."
Upon hearing this, the commanding officer of the Black and White Eagle village smiled and said, "That's good. Since that's the case, report to the commander and launch an attack on the second line of defense!"
……
"Sir, the first line of defense at Camel 1 has been breached, but the Japanese village seems to have paid a heavy price, with over a thousand casualties..."
The news from the front quickly reached the combined headquarters of the coalition.
"It's too slow!"
Upon hearing the message from his subordinates, the Black and White Eagle village's commander, Steve, was not happy but rather quite dissatisfied.
"Order Shamazaki Heisuke and the others to push forward as hard as possible! I want to see not just the first line of defense, but the entire No.1 Line!"
Upon hearing this, the people beside him exchanged a glance, paused for a moment, and then one of the commanders spoke slowly:
"Sir, according to the reports from the front, the camels have dug a large number of tunnels on the battlefield. If we don't clear these tunnels, there's a chance that Shamazaki Heisuke's men could be attacked at any time, and the casualties could increase significantly..."
"Attack?" Steve coldly looked at the other person and said, "Just a few rats. If Shamazaki Heisuke and his thousands of men can't deal with a few rats, what use are they?"
"Remember, I only want results. Give them half an hour more, and if they fail to capture the No.1 Line within that time, I'm not against replacing those idiots with a new commander!"
Steve's voice was cold and relentless.
To him, casualties and losses were unimportant.
The casualties were just some soldiers from the Japanese village.
Whether it's hundreds or even thousands of deaths, he doesn't care at all!
Of course, some of the soldiers in the Japanese village's commando team are also among them. If there are casualties, the commando team cannot avoid it.
But for him, the commando team was just as insignificant as the rest of the Japanese village's soldiers.
Most of the bigwigs in the commando team were just useless people, either from cotton picking or from all over the world who wanted to get a green card for their Black and White Eagle village but had no other way, so they had to join their village's army as cattle.
And the rest were all lowly scum without identity or status. They had slightly higher status than the soldiers from the Japanese village, but they were just cannon fodder at best. But anyone with even a bit of status or position wouldn't be pulled in as cannon fodder.
To Steve, these people were no more important than the Japanese village's soldiers, and he wouldn't care if more of them died.
"What's the situation on the second line?"
After a cold snort, Steve spoke again.
With a cold snort, Steve continued, "The situation on the second line is similar to the first. The first line has been breached, but those second-line village cannon fodder are too afraid to die. If it wasn't for our first armored brigade behind them overseeing the situation, they would have tried to run away several times..."
"Run away?" Steve coldly laughed, "Tell Froland, whoever dares to run away will be dealt with on the spot!"
After a pause, Steve continued, "In addition, bring in the Japanese village's 4th Division to the second line. Have them act together with the tube village and oversee each other. If they fail to capture the second line within half an hour, military law shall apply!"
……
Steve's death sentence was quickly disseminated to the front line.
Upon hearing the message from the combined headquarters, Shamazaki Heisuke and the others had faces as dark as storm clouds.
The anger in their hearts was almost overwhelming, threatening to ignite their chests.
However, under the icy gaze of the commando team, one by one, the subcommanders of cannon fodder had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept Steve's orders.
No choice, every senior commander had several members of the commando team tagging along with them.
But if they had any other thoughts, these people could act on their own at any time!
They were not men of principle to begin with, otherwise they wouldn't have been brought here as cannon fodder.
Under such circumstances, how could they dare to have other thoughts?
"Attack!
Without further hesitation, whether it was the Japanese village or the tube village, three divisions of troops surged forward!
Deploy as many troops as can be accommodated on the battlefield.
charge directly!
The continuous booms of mortars, field guns, and tank guns rang out.
Round after round of shells completely covered the two lines of defense!
The dense smoke completely enveloped the two lines of defense.
Beyond the lines, one after another timid tube village and Japanese village cannon fodder, holding their assault rifles, followed closely behind the tanks and armored vehicles as they advanced towards the positions.
Powpowpow!!
On the position, streams of fire continuously surged and faded.
Countless bullets rained down on the coalition forces.
From time to time, there were also rockets fired at the armored units.
Deafening explosions resounded continuously on the battlefield.
One after another, coalition armored vehicles and tanks were destroyed, and one by one, coalition cannon fodder fell to the ground.
However, facing the coalition, which had a decisive advantage in numbers and firepower.
The rebellion of the camels, no matter how hard they tried, was ultimately futile.
It didn't take long before the coalition forces broke through the defenses of the two positions.
"Contact Mr. Steve, the defenses of the camels have been breached!"
Looking through the binoculars at the coalition forces already occupying the camel's position, Commander Frank of the First Armored Brigade, who was overseeing the battle from the rear, smirked slightly.
"Yes, Sir!"
Another commander beside Commander Frank immediately took the order.
He was preparing to act.
At this moment——
Buzz buzz buzz!
A sound like the hum of a swarm of bees suddenly came from afar.
