At 8:30 p.m., a bright red signal flare shot into the sky.

"Destroy Eagle Valley and avenge our brothers in the artillery battalion! Charge!"

"Charge!"

"Charge!"

......

Hundreds of figures suddenly leaped out of the darkness, just 500 meters from the valley entrance.

They shouted as they desperately surged toward the valley entrance, a few hundred meters away.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

"Boom! Boom..."

"Da da da..."

Dense mortar shells and machine gun bullets rained down on the bullet-riddled outer walls of the fortress.

Although it won't cause much damage to this sturdy concrete building.

However, it can still disrupt the defenders' firepower and provide cover for the advancing troops.

The six searchlights shining from the fortress illuminated a vast expanse of white ground 500 meters ahead.

As the surging enemy force rushed into the light, 36 rockets with red trails of flame were fired from the dark muzzle.

Immediately afterwards, a series of dull, tearing sounds, like ripping cloth, rang out as bullets from 60 Maxim heavy machine guns mercilessly ripped into the enemy ranks.

Violent explosions and scythe-like bullets, like a battlefield meat grinder, reaped countless lives.

In an instant, screams filled the air under the lamplight, flesh was scattered everywhere, and people lay dead like straw under a harvester, row upon row...

Just 10 minutes later, the first wave of 500 men had advanced 100 meters when more than half of them were killed or wounded.

This hundred-meter-long open space was littered with corpses, and the flowing blood had stained the grass a dark color.

The remaining fewer than 100 men, most of them wounded, charged forward across the grassy field, offering no cover, or crawled slowly on the ground...

"Quick! Order the snipers to shoot down the searchlight!"

Dubolai, the commander of the 1st Mixed Regiment in charge of the first wave of attack, lay in the trench, screaming hysterically.

The first wave of attack lasted only 10 minutes, and the first regiment lost several hundred men. How could he not be heartbroken?

But no matter how heartbroken and frustrated he was, it was no use. Because of the annihilation of the artillery battalion, he was summoned to the division headquarters today and given a severe beating by the division commander.

In this ground attack, the division headquarters assigned their regiment to be the vanguard, clearly intending for Dupoley to redeem himself.

Charging forward offers a sliver of hope for a comeback, but retreating in fear will mean certain death.

So even if we have to give up the entire first group tonight, we can't back out.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

......

A few minutes later, as the snipers extinguished the six searchlights on the fortress, an even more frenzied attack began.

A dense barrage of mortar shells and machine gun bullets rained down on the fortress.

Taking advantage of the fact that the valley fortress was temporarily blinded, more soldiers charged forward with their guns at the ready.

In the second wave of the attack, the last 1,300 men of the first mixed regiment leaped out of the trenches.

The team, including the commander Dubole, and 100 demolition team members carrying TNT explosives, rushed into the night.

The death zone ahead is only 500 meters away. If they can rush through this section, they will be able to hide in the blind spot of the fortress's fire.

At that point, we can calmly blast open the iron gate at the valley entrance...

The deafening sounds of gunfire and shouts of battle reached the fortress.

The searchlight being extinguished by the sniper did not affect the rate at which the bunker was unleashing ammunition; on the contrary, to compensate for the loss of vision, the firepower became even more concentrated.

Through the flames of the explosion, the guards of Kunzhai could still make out the enemy horde rushing towards them like ants...

"Give us a good beating! Don't hold back on your bullets, Kunzhai has no shortage of ammunition!"

Kunfeng picked up the communicator and issued the order for a full-scale defense:

"Guard platoon, take turns firing flares outwards, and send someone to repair the searchlights as soon as possible!"

..............................................

As the first mixed regiment advanced, another regiment of soldiers rushed out of the trenches.

Under the cover of more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, nearly 2,000 people, armed with submachine guns or AK-47s, charged forward while firing and yelling.

Among these 2,000 people were nearly a hundred demolition experts carrying TNT explosives.

As a result, it was clear that the first regiment rushed to the front, attracting most of the fortress's firepower and becoming cannon fodder.

The Kachin Army's true offensive force is only now officially entering the fray.

Fifteen minutes later, the second wave of mixed groups, numbering over 1,300, was wiped out by the devastating explosions and bullets, with most of them killed.

The remaining 300-odd men, despite their injuries, finally made it close to the valley entrance.

From this position, they were already in the fortress's blind spot; they were safe.

"Demolition team, take head count and ammunition, prepare to plant explosives and blow up the gate!"

Dupol was lucky; he was only shot in the left shoulder and hit in the back by a piece of shrapnel, but otherwise unharmed.

This 500-meter road to death is far too cruel and terrifying.

In less than half an hour, the first mixed regiment was decimated, and its second charge left behind more than 1,500 corpses.

If there were searchlights at this moment, those on the front lines would surely witness a scene that resembled hell on earth:

Countless severed limbs and bits of flesh covered the dark grass.

The bodies were twisted and many were still burning.
