As the saying goes, "I can't bear to leave my children and can't trap a wolf." On the battlefield, I can't get greater benefits without taking any risks. The officers of the Expeditionary Force all knew this, so they had no objection to Zhang Chi's plan, so the plan was quickly implemented.

At 4:50 in the morning, after fifty minutes of march, the troops of the second regiment, one battalion, finally started a battle on the 382 Highlands.

To be precise, the soldiers took more than twenty minutes to reach the 382 Highlands. Although the battle did not start in the next ten minutes, it was actually considered a battle. The reason was that the soldiers of the first battalion had penetrated into the 382 Highlands stationed by the Japanese army, and at the moment the battle started, they crossed the halfway mountain of the 382 Highlands and advanced towards the top position of the Japanese army.

How could the first battalion of soldiers cross the Japanese defense line so easily and penetrate deep into the hinterland before they were discovered?!

Before the war began, Zhang Chi and the officers of the Expeditionary Force carefully reconnaissed and analyzed the situation of the Japanese army on the 382 Highlands. The Japanese army stationed on this highland had a characteristic, that is, the composition was very complex... They included the Japanese 109th Division, the Korean engineers and the Okinawan engineers (these people were used to build tunnel fortifications and airports. When the squadron arrived, the tunnel fortifications and airports were not completed yet), and the Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps.

The complex composition means there is a loophole, so Zhang Chi immediately found Park Jung-hyung and his group from the army... They were originally Korean engineers appointed by the Japanese army, but they surrendered during the Battle of Guadalam and were incorporated by the Expeditionary Force, and they were just used to get it.

Then, Wu Yuhang ordered all of these people to change into Japanese military uniforms... It was a bit troublesome when preparing the military uniforms. Although the Japanese army left many corpses when attacking the Chinese defense line the night before, a considerable number of those corpses were burned black by flamethrowers, so it was really difficult to get more than 900 Japanese military uniforms.

(Note: Because the squadron is equipped and organized with the US Marine Corps, there are more than 900 people in a battalion... The standard should be 954 people, including 3 240-person rifle companies and a mortar platoon equipped with 4 81mm M1 mortars, plus a battalion headquarters with 213 people.)

However, Park Jung-hyung, the former North Korean engineer, had a solution. They piled up all the tattered military uniforms that had been taken off the bodies of Japanese soldiers, and then took out needles and threads and scissors to quickly "demolite the east and repair the west walls". Soon a set of Japanese military uniforms and even military caps appeared in front of the soldiers, and sometimes even sizes could be made according to the requirements.

The squadron is not surprised by this... Park Jung-hyung and others are Korean engineers. North Korean engineers are inferior people in the Japanese military system. They are not often done with sewing and patching? Just like when the squadron was in China, it was rare to wear a new military uniform.

Then the group walked up the mountain road of the 382 Highlands in a big way. When they met a Japanese sentry, Park Jung-hyung and others responded to it... Although the Japanese could tell whether they could distinguish them as soon as they heard Japanese, Park Jung-hyung and others were originally "Korean engineers", which made the first battalion easily cross the Japanese defense line and penetrated into the top of the mountain.
