After several exchanges, the interception unit also gained some experience. Generally speaking, the flare launched from our positions never stopped, so the enemy could only launch a direct assault.
Every thirty to forty minutes, the enemy would initiate an attack with about a hundred troops, lasting roughly ten to twenty minutes. As long as our defenses held firm, the enemy would usually retreat after twenty minutes, leaving behind dozens of corpses.
However, as the battle heated up, especially after several interceptions, the casualties of the interception unit continued to rise. Despite their good protection gear, a lot more depended on luck on the battlefield.
The greatest source of casualties for the interception unit came from the enemy's mortar fire. After repeated adjustments, the enemy gradually became more accurate with their mortars, concentrating their fire more than before, despite the cover of darkness.
