A firebay in a trench is a designated area where troops can safely fire weapons while being protected from enemy fire. It typically includes a reinforced position, such as a small dugout or an elevated platform, allowing soldiers to shoot from a lower profile. Firebays are strategically placed to provide optimal fields of fire while maintaining cover and concealment from opposing forces. They are essential for effective defense and offense in trench warfare.
Volley fire, as a military tactic, is the practice of having a line of soldiers all fire their weapons simultaneously at the enemy forces on command, usually to make up for inaccuracy, slow rate of fire, and limited range, and to create a maximum effect.

Then the enemy return once fire has ceased. Then they wait for the next move to be made.
Since the US could NOT use atomic weapons (and doctrine dictated no use of chemical/bio weapons); the US used every other weapon that it had at it's disposal.
