Although he was there to inspect the positions and indeed needed to understand the combat situation at the frontline positions, Chen Xin had no intention of going into the trenches at the very front.
Climbing up to the fire observation post of the stronghold and using binoculars, Chen Xin could directly overlook the entire position without needing to run to the front like a common soldier.
The position that Chen Xin was inspecting resembled an inverted "T" shape, with the horizontal line at the front being the foremost trench to block the alien creatures' attack. Even standing at a distance of at least a kilometer from the stronghold, he could clearly see the flashes of gunfire from the soldiers and hear the intense gunshots.
Behind the horizontal line, two slanted trenches extended from the frontline trenches and also served as a supplement to its firepower.
