Thick smoke was billowing on the battlefield. Under the violent explosion, the smoke spread instantly and completely enveloped them in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the soldiers who were blown away by the blast wave in front of him, Higashinojima was so angry that he was shaking all over.
However, due to the powerful firepower of the 28th Regiment, the Dongye Death Squadron and the infantry squadron behind them were unable to advance even half a step. They could only bury their heads and rage at the same place.
"Baga, Baga Yalu, these damn Chinese people have a broken conscience!" Higashino said angrily.
Ever since he joined the war, he has never encountered such a cunning opponent.
First, they showed weakness to the Imperial Army, making the Imperial Army mistakenly believe that their strength was low, and deliberately induced the Imperial Army to launch an attack against them.
As a result, everything was false.
These were all gestures made by the Chinese people to deliberately paralyze the imperial army.
Higashinojima began to regret in his heart that he shouldn't have been so reckless and ran towards the opposite position.
Not only did he dig a hole for himself and jump into it, he also ended up adding a handful of soil to himself.
From the beginning to now, the 28th Regiment's bombardment has almost never stopped, and those shells are like they have eyes.
He can always easily bypass the corpses, explode next to his suicide squad members, and knock his suicide squad members away.
Around him, almost all were the stumps and short limbs of members of the death squads, with rivers of blood and a foul smell.
Higashinojima stared at the front position with his eyes fixed on the ground, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
He wanted to lead his troops to attack countless times, but there was always a voice in his head reminding him to calm down, he must calm down, and he must not be impulsive now.
But the more Higashinoshima suppressed his emotions, the more he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart that was about to burst out of his chest.
This is a suicide squad, and what a suicide squad wants is to not be afraid of life and death, and to move forward without hesitation, or die on the way to charge, or die in the enemy's position.
What's the point of being suppressed by the Chinese and being unable to retreat, and being unable to move forward?
The Japanese squadron leader who was lying next to Higashinojima saw the fierce artillery fire from the opposite side and wanted to propose a retreat countless times.
But looking at Higashinojima's expression that he was about to eat someone, he still didn't dare to speak, after all, the guy next to him was of a higher level than him.
Moreover, Higashinojima himself is very angry. If he wants to retreat, he will definitely be used as a punching bag.
Besides, even if you want to retreat now, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
I don't know how many rounds of bombings were carried out, but at least more than two hundred Japanese soldiers were killed. Even if the remaining few hundred Japanese soldiers were not dead, most of them were injured.
After all calculations, there are only more than 400 of them who can continue to fight.
…
In the Tamaki Alliance position.
Tamaki Ling was at the back of the battlefield, her face ashen.
at this time.
The shells falling on their position gradually became sparse, and occasionally a few explosions could be heard.
But Tamaki Ling didn’t think that it was because the group of Tubal soldiers on the opposite side were out of ammunition, and they didn’t know what evil they were holding back.
"Baga, what are those idiots going to do again!" Tamaki Ling said fiercely: "Why don't they seize the time and charge again.
As a member of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, he is actually lying on the ground. What does he look like? What on earth is this idiot Higashinojima thinking? Is this how he washes away the dignity of the Imperial Army!"
The attack failed, and the artillery positions were attacked by fire from the opposite side. The losses of the artillery have not yet been calculated.
When our own artillery came to their senses and wanted to launch a counterattack, they wanted to teach the artillerymen in the 28th Regiment's position a lesson.
The artillery shells on the opposite side are like having eyes. No matter where our artillery is hiding, the opposite side will definitely be able to hit them within three rounds.
After losing five mortars in succession, the Little Japanese artillerymen no longer dared to use mortars.
According to the hit rate on the opposite side, if we continue to bomb them, it is estimated that all the artillery of the Tamaki Regiment will be declared useless in less than half an hour.
Tamaki Rei is like a wild cat whose tail has been guessed. Everyone wants to scratch it when she sees it.
A lieutenant officer following Yumuling also lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
The Imperial Army's attacks failed several times in a row, and from the battle until now, they seem to have been led by the other side and have been passive on the battlefield.
It is not known how much the Tubal Road on the opposite side suffered, but it was our own supporting firepower that was hit by the group of Chinese people one after another.
Naturally, the Japanese second lieutenant knew very well how bad his superior, Captain Tamaki, was feeling.
Yumuling's face was solemn and she clenched her fists.
If nothing else, the Higashino Death Squadron's attack has failed.
Looking at the flickering fire in front of her, Tamaki Ling was shaken for the first time in her faith.
Can the imperial army really run rampant in the land of China and beat the Chinese army to the ground?
At the beginning, these 28 regiments fought all the way from Jizhou to Jinzhou.
Do you want to follow in the footsteps of those imperial warriors in Jizhou?
Thinking of this, Tamaki Ling couldn't help but feel a little scared. If the 28th regiment could still retreat despite the encirclement and suppression by the three regiments, the imperial army would be embarrassed.
Yumuling suddenly felt a little happy.
Fortunately, not all troops are like the 28th Regiment, otherwise the imperial army's plan to invade China would be more difficult.
at the same time.
Starry Sky Alliance and Yeyue Alliance also sent reports. Their attacks also failed, and they were defeated by the Chinese Army on the opposite side and were unable to counterattack.
The two of them were also shaken by this encirclement and suppression, and even began to think about retreating, thinking that all their troops should not be expended here.
If there are any changes on Tubal Road in other places, their situation will be even more passive.
Tamaki Ling didn't believe this statement at all. The two of them just wanted to find a suitable reason for retreating.
At least, I can save my face and cannot directly express my inner worries about defeat.
Tamaki Ling didn't bother to reply at all. To such a guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death, any more words would be a stain on his identity.
As an imperial colonel, he is only one step away from becoming a general. If he thinks about how to retreat because the enemy on the other side is very powerful, then why should he be a commander?
How would His Majesty the Emperor feel if he knew about this?
Thinking of this, Yumuling felt a little angry.
Major General Pinglu had clearly said that he would give the command to himself, but these two guys didn't stop listening to his orders.
If they were willing to cooperate, the situation would never be like this.
Just when Yumuling was in a state of confusion, he suddenly heard a rapid explosion sound coming from his ears.
Even without looking, Tamaki Ling knew that this must be another round of bombing from the artillery on the opposite side.
Tamaki Ling didn't bother to look at it at all, and was just thinking about how to launch an attack in the evening.
The lieutenant next to him said excitedly: "Your Excellency, Captain, look, Major Higashino has launched another attack. They are very close to the Chinese position!"
"Nani?"
Hearing this, Tamaki Ling suddenly became energetic and raised her head to look at the battlefield ahead.
At the same time, Higashinojima felt that the explosions in his ears gradually began to weaken, and were replaced by shrill wails.
The injured Japanese soldiers lying on the ground lay together, groaning in pain because they had not received timely treatment.
Listening to the wailing in his ears, Higashinojima became more and more upset. He thought that he would die anyway, so he might as well take advantage of the enemy's firepower to weaken and attack again.
As a warrior of the imperial army, even if you die, you must be at the forefront, instead of dying in resignation like now.
The squadron leader who followed him also came up with a clever plan.
Although they did not have heavy fire support, they all carried two grenades and were currently very close to the Tubal Road position.
Why not just take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack and throw grenades directly into the enemy's position.
Even if you can't capture the enemy's position by then, you can at least cause some commotion in the enemy's position, which can be regarded as a worthy death.
As soon as Higashino heard this, he immediately felt that this method was a clever idea.
Having been bombed just now, he had completely forgotten about this incident. When reminded by the captain, he suddenly woke up.
"Xinxi, you did a good job." Higashinoshima praised: "You will be the main attack this time, and we will provide cover from behind.
The honor of being the first to step into the enemy's trenches is up to you!"
"..." The Japanese captain did not expect that he would steal the chicken but lose the rice. He was just making a suggestion.
But he didn't expect that his own squadron would be the one who needed to die.
However, due to Higashinojima's military rank, the squadron leader did not dare to say no. Even if the opposite side was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he had to bravely charge forward.
"Hai, Your Excellency, Captain, you must live up to your mission and step into the enemy's trenches!" Captain Kobayakawa stepped forward and said.
"Warrior, tell me your name." Higashinojima asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, Major, I am here to call you Kobayakawa." Captain Kobayakawa replied.
Higashinojima nodded: "Xinxi, Kobayakawa-kun, you will be the main attack mission of the death squad this time, and we will follow soon!"
Captain Kobayakawa paused heavily, and then began to shout at the top of his lungs: "Squadron Kobayakawa, assemble immediately."
Following Kobayakawa's order, the remaining Japanese soldiers gathered together in twos and threes, and there were almost a hundred of them.
Squadron Leader Kobayakawa didn't say anything nonsense. He lay on the ground, took out the command sword from his waist, swung it forward vigorously, and said.
"Warriors, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor, give it a try!"
After saying that, Captain Kobayakawa got up from the ground and launched the final attack towards the 28th Regiment's position.
Other Japanese soldiers in Kobayakawa's squadron also got up from the ground, followed closely behind him, and ran quickly towards the 28th Regiment's position.
Upon seeing this, Higashinoshima also waved his command sword and ordered his troops to attack.
The members of the Japanese death squads, whether they were slightly injured or not, got up from the ground and tried the pig attack tactic again.
The sound of "board, board" resounded on the battlefield, and the Japanese seemed to be going crazy, and the expressions on their faces became distorted.
There were bursts of strange notes coming out of their mouths, as if to cheer themselves up and charge with all their might.
Soon, they charged into a position 50 meters away from the 28th Regiment's position. Without any hesitation, these Japanese soldiers took out the grenades from their waists and hit them hard on the forehead.
Even if they smashed their own heads and made them bleed, these Japanese soldiers did not stop.
Then, they quickly threw the grenades towards the trench.
The grenades drew arcs in the air, like rain, and landed everywhere on the 28th Regiment's position.
A booming explosion suddenly sounded, and the flames of grenade explosions flashed throughout the trenches.
The little Japanese just threw it away casually, thinking that he could suppress the enemy's firepower, and did not consider the issue of accuracy.
Even without heavy fire support, these grenades made a lot of noise.
"Captain, the Japs are charging again!" Lu Fang said anxiously, looking at the Japs soldiers getting closer and closer.
Without Ding Wei's orders, the soldiers in the trenches at the entrance of the village launched a counterattack.
For a moment, there was loud gunfire in the trench, and firelight flickered back and forth everywhere.
With a burst of fierce gunfire, twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers were hit in an instant, but compared with the hundreds of Japanese soldiers, it was really nothing.
The machine guns in the machine gun position began to fire violently again.
The soldier who was firing saw the grenade rolling in front of him, immediately picked up the grenade and threw it towards the forward position.
Picking up a grenade on the battlefield is a taboo in itself, as it may explode as soon as you pick it up.
But God obviously favors this soldier.
There was a loud "boom" sound.
As soon as the grenade landed, it immediately blew away four Japanese soldiers who were charging.
Dozens of machine guns roared at the same time, and the distance between the two sides was so close, the damage caused was naturally self-evident.
"Da da da…"
The machine gun bullets kept spitting bullets, and the Japanese soldiers also fell to the ground one after another. But if the Japanese soldiers in front fell, the Japanese soldiers behind them would immediately follow.
Even the Japanese soldiers who survived in the end were dragging their bodies forward with all their might.
All the Japs were crazy. They were like a group of wild dogs that had lost consciousness. They only knew how to rush forward at all costs.
Under the cover of grenades, the Japanese were only ten meters away from the trench.
"There's no time." Ding Wei's heart sank.
This little devil has enlightened himself.
He actually knew how to use the explosion of a grenade as a cover to get closer to his position.
However, do these little devils really think that their position is a vegetable market and come here whenever they want?
"Captain, what did you say?" Lu Fang asked strangely.
Ding Wei said: "Give me my order. All the first company of the second battalion will have their bayonets fixed and prepare for hand-to-hand combat."
"What, hand-to-hand combat?" Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, then his face became filled with excitement.
He himself likes to use a big knife to chop off the Japanese heads one by one.
Watching the Japs charge desperately, Ding Wei could clearly feel that the 28th Regiment would definitely not be able to escape from this hand-to-hand battle.
Although Ding Wei believes in invincible firepower, anything that can be solved with a gun should never be solved by hand.
If you can beat the enemy to death in a group, don't play evenly matched, let's have a fair duel.
War is inherently a matter of life and death.
But the current situation obviously does not meet the above points.
Although the 28th Regiment rarely engages in hand-to-hand combat, this does not mean that the 28th Regiment has never trained in hand-to-hand combat. The 28th Regiment will be afraid of hand-to-hand combat.
