The northern front of the Gobur battleground was littered with countless craters, and it was rare to see any trees that were still intact. Most of the large trees were left with only bare trunks, tilting precariously between the two armies' lines.
If one looked closely, almost every large tree had several bodies sprawled haphazardly underneath. This was because there was always the belief that these large trees could serve as cover, allowing one to survive a few seconds more amid the storm of bullets and shells.
In reality, these locations were often the focus of the enemy's machine guns and Ranger sharpshooters. Those hiding here were quickly killed, often even faster than those soldiers who simply lay flat on the ground.
The entire battlefield rose and fell intermittently, and the visibility was not particularly good, but if one was careful to stay prone and then leap forward, one could avoid most of the bullets.
