“Not only Twin Peaks, but our warplanes have also bombed the entire territory under Jieke Group’s control. Their military power has been crushed. I hope that the Jieke Group doesn’t surrender too soon, otherwise we’ll seem like we’re here on vacation, and the spoils will all go to those guys in the air force.”

The soldiers sitting on the tank laughed and joked, not showing the slightest bit of tension.

Several fighter jets flew low, causing cheers and howls from the soldiers below. The high-spirited Japanese Soldiers showed no sense of war on their faces, thinking they already had victory in their grasp.

Watching the warplanes continuing to drop bombs, Matsumoto Xiao Yilang couldn’t help but laugh and curse: “Damn it, too much bombing. Nobody can survive under such bombardment, are they trying not to leave any military exploits for us infantry?”

Amid the laughter and cursing, more than fifty thousand Chan Country and Japanese Soldiers arrived majestically at the foot of Twin Peaks.

The troops stationed at Twin Peaks from the Jieke Group only numbered ten thousand and had probably already been reduced to nonexistence by the bombing. All Chan Country Soldiers and Japanese Soldiers thought it would be a battle without suspense.

However, some soldiers who had previously interacted with the Jieke Group did not dare to take it lightly and ordered the ground forces to begin searching up the mountain.

During their ascent, they encountered no attacks and gradually became bolder. The Japanese Soldiers, in their rush to claim the honor of being first, didn’t even look for cover, instead charging straight ahead to quickly reach the summit to plant their country’s flag and declare sovereignty.

What these Japanese Soldiers didn’t realize was that their every move was being watched.

Inside Twin Peaks, there were intricate tunnels and caves, like natural trenches, and they were extremely sturdy, reinforced with various steel bars and concrete.

The defenders were the Sixth Mountain Division of Jieke Group, totaling eleven thousand men.

By using tunnels dug in advance, they had avoided the terrifying bombardment outside. Although some losses were inevitable, they were still within an acceptable range.

“Commander, the enemy has crossed the mountain foot. Can we open fire?”

Inside a hidden observation post, Li Yuqi, commander of the Sixth Mountain Division, was holding binoculars and observing the movement at the foot of the mountain, while his staff officer couldn’t help but remind him.

“No rush.”

Li Yuqi’s expression did not change. As a talent selected by the Jieke Group, although he was a native of Chan Country, he had received formal military education, graduating from Shijiazhuang Army Command College in Hua Country.

However, after returning to his homeland, he could not stand the corruption in the Chan Country Government Army and resigned from his military position in disgust. He had planned not to engage in this profession anymore.

But the emergence of Jieke Group had given him hope for saving the country.

After inspecting the areas controlled by Jieke Group in person, he took the initiative to join Jieke Group, and thanks to his solid qualifications, he rose to the position of division commander.

“The enemy has occupied the mountain foot.”

The staff officer reminded him again.

“Let them take it, let them climb up.”

Li Yuqi remained as calm as ever.

When the Japanese Soldiers crossed the middle of the mountain, heading toward the summit, Li Yuqi finally waved his hand.

“Order, prepare the firepower.”

This command was quickly passed down. From beneath various hidden positions, the loose soil trembled, and shooting windows were pushed open from the inside. Numerous light and heavy machine guns quietly extended out, all ready to go.

On the upper half of the peak, artillery muzzles protruded, slowly aiming at the Japanese Soldiers who were climbing.

At this moment, all the hidden firepower points were prepared for the slaughter.

Li Yuqi watched all of this, observing more and more troops and materials piling up at the foot of the mountain, as well as the excitedly shouting Japanese Soldiers, slowly lowered his binoculars, and coldly commanded: “Pass the order, open fire.”

Orders cascaded down the chain of command; all concealed positions opened fire with light and heavy weaponry simultaneously.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

From a shooting window of a dugout, a 12.7mm-caliber heavy machine gun stationed there spat out nearly half a meter long flames. As the ammo belt rapidly danced, bullets continuously harvested lives.

Especially since the one operating this machine gun was a Third-class Super Soldier who, after swallowing a Strengthening Pill, possessed enhanced reflexes and an improved ability to seize the moment in battle.

The Japanese Soldiers marching upright up the mountain were like wheat to be reaped, cut down in rows.

In just a few seconds, more than twenty people were shot dead, prompting the remaining Japanese Soldiers to throw themselves to the ground, shouting as they looked for any kind of cover.

Boom!

The heavy artillery on the mountain top began its bombardment; the areas at the foot of the mountain where supplies and troops were amassed endured a heavy artillery baptism. Human limbs and twisted metal parts flew about chaotically, landing dozens of meters away. Blood soaked the earth in copious amounts, fertilizing the grass and trees there.

In an almost instantaneous span of time, the previously proud Japanese Soldiers and Chan Country Soldiers were caught completely off guard by a savage blow to the head.

This sudden strike left them totally unprepared, plunging the entire mountain-ascending unit into chaos.

“Ooshima, pull yourself together, don’t die, hey, don’t die!”

Matsumoto Xiao Yilang desperately clutched his comrade’s stomach, trying to stuff the protruding intestines back in, but it was futile.

“Xiao… Xiao Yilang, I think I see the cherry blossoms of my hometown… they’re so beautiful!”

As his friend neared death, he hallucinated, staring straight into the clouds as if he saw the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms in full bloom back home.

“Snap out of it, you won’t die, survive and come back with me, medic, corpsman, come here quickly, I have a critically wounded man.”

Matsumoto Xiao Yilang screamed frantically, but no one paid him any attention, for Twin Peaks was already a scene of overwhelming misery.

In just the moment Matsumoto Xiao Yilang looked up, he saw a soldier’s body bisected by machine gun fire; the upper half desperately crawling on the ground.

A soldier was shot in the head by a bullet, his brain matter ejected several meters away.

Another soldier’s body was ignited by flames, who ran around screaming in agony until he collapsed and curled up on the ground, becoming a charred corpse.

Some soldiers were directly hit by heavy artillery, leaving behind a scorched crater on the spot, with no trace of them to be found.

There were also soldiers petrified by the gruesome scene, standing still, muttering incomprehensibly. Within two seconds, they were mowed down by a spray of machine gun bullets.

The tight sensation from his hand awakened Matsumoto Xiao Yilang. Looking down, he saw his friend’s hands gripping him tightly, blood pouring vehemently from his mouth, his eyes wide open, unblinking and breathless.

“No.”

Matsumoto Xiao Yilang roared with a mix of defiance and sorrow.

He had previously thought victory was assured in this battle and could never have imagined that, after constant bombardment with tens of thousands of tons of munitions, Twin Peaks would still house so many Jieke Group soldiers and would cunningly hide underground in various bunker caverns slaughtering them.

The forces ascending the mountain had now become live targets on the nearly barren Twin Peaks, with hardly any place to take cover.

They could only endure the relentless bullets and shells from the Jieke Group, resulting in heavy casualties among the Japanese Soldiers and Chan Country Soldiers. The peak was littered with bodies and severed limbs, and the stench of blood was unbearably pungent.

It could be said that at this moment, Twin Peaks was akin to hell itself for the Japanese Soldiers.
