章 125: Chapter 125: 125

On the rugged terrain of the Vietnam-China border, the clash of arms echoed through the valleys and across the hills. The Filipino and local forces, fortified by the technology and strategy at their disposal, stood resolute against the advancing Japanese assault. The distant rumble of artillery and the staccato rhythm of gunfire reverberated against the natural barriers of the landscape.

General Rodriguez, the Filipino commander overseeing the defense, peered through the binoculars, surveying the unfolding battlefield. Trenches lined with sandbags stretched across the landscape, forming a defensive network. AS-90 and M198 howitzers were strategically placed, their barrels aimed toward the advancing enemy. Barbed wire entanglements created a formidable obstacle, slowing the Japanese advance.
