But before he could finish what he said, Higashishima Aoyama slapped him in the face: "Asshole, trash, shut your mouth!"
"Hai!" The lieutenant stood up and nodded. No matter how aggrieved he felt, he did not dare to say another word.
Because the simultaneous attack from three directions failed, Higashishima Aoyama was forced to stop the attack.
When the remaining soldiers of the East Island Regiment saw the soldiers who had fled back, there was a hint of fear on their faces.
If we forcefully launch an attack on Wangzhuang at this time, it may be counterproductive.
Dongdao Qingshan could only angrily order the bombardment of Wangzhuang. After a retaliatory bombardment at Wangzhuang, he stopped the attack.
Wangzhuang, which had been fighting fiercely for more than three hours, once again fell into calm.
The two old Japanese soldiers, Higashishima Aoyama and Nishino Heiji, were leaning on the armored vehicle with particularly gloomy expressions.
The encirclement and suppression of Wangzhuang did not go as smoothly as they expected. On the contrary, they suffered a lot. In just over four hours, they lost nearly a brigade of troops.
If we continue to proceed according to the battle damage rate, I am afraid that in five or six hours, these two brigades will all have to deal with it here.
"Higashidao-kun, the enemy this time is absolutely extraordinary, especially their commander. Both in terms of tactics and the formation of troops on the battlefield, they are different from our previous opponents."
Taking advantage of the truce between the two sides, Nishino Heiji began to analyze Ding Wei.
"He definitely has the experience of studying abroad and has a good military education. Even if we were to fight this battle, we would not be as good as him, especially their weapons and equipment."
Mentioning this, Nishino Heiji's face felt distressed. The equipment used by the opponent were all their equipment.
This further convinced Nishino Heiji that this team was the 28th Regiment that attacked the transport team.
Dongdao Qingshan's expression was gloomy, and he nodded and said: "Yes, and their defenses are complete, and their firepower equipment is also very particular.
Especially since they actually knew how to lay out a minefield, so we were unprepared and fell into the trap of these Chinese people."
Nishino Heiji looked puzzled and continued: "But what surprised me most is that they were actually intact under our artillery attack. There must be something weird about their trenches."
Dongdao Qingshan said coldly: "It's easy to know what's weird about their fortifications. We only need to capture Wangzhuang to see what the Chinese trenches look like!
If their fortifications really have merit, then we can also learn from them and improve them!"
"Hai, that's what the captain said." Nishino Heiji paused and said.
A large part of the reason why the Japanese troops were able to traverse the land of China was that they fought no matter how big or small they fought.
Whenever a battle is over, they will have a post-war discussion to improve their shortcomings in the battle.
"No matter what, we cannot fail!" Dongdao Qingshan said coldly with a fierce look in his eyes: "Otherwise, we will not be able to explain this matter to the division commander.
Order the warriors to take a good rest, and when the rest is over, we will organize a death squad and fight to the death to capture the enemy position and annihilate the 28th regiment!"
While the Japanese were incompetent and furious, Ding Wei, accompanied by Chao Chao, inspected the situation of the 28th Regiment in the trenches.
"Captain, commander..."
Wherever Ding Wei went, the soldiers stood up from the ground one after another, looking at Ding Wei with their heads held high, their eyes full of admiration.
In the previous battles, they had witnessed Ding Wei's command and combat skills with their own eyes, and everyone had a feeling of "confidence" in their hearts.
Ding Wei did not have the airs of a regiment leader, and nodded to the soldiers: "Comrades, I saw them all just now, you are all good!
The little devil was killed by us, leaving behind his armor and scurrying around like a lost dog. You did a great job!
I have told you before that the little devils are not invulnerable like us. Even if they are shot, a hole will be left in their bodies.
Remember this sentence, only those who are not afraid of death deserve to live!"
When the soldiers in the trenches heard this, they couldn't help but straighten their bodies and looked at Ding Wei with fiery eyes.
Perhaps in the current situation of such a powerful enemy, they will feel more deeply about these words.
"Please rest assured, captain, we will definitely stick to our position and never take a step back. If the enemy wants to step over the position, they will only step on our corpses!" Black-faced Bao Zheng stood up and said.
"The attack must be conquered, the defense must be strong, and we must step on the enemy's bones to sing victory!" Ding Wei raised his arms and shouted.
"We must conquer when we attack, we must hold fast when we defend, we must step on the enemy's bones and sing in triumph!" the soldiers in the trenches shouted in unison.
Encouraged by Ding Wei, the morale of the soldiers in the trenches became even stronger, and they wanted to jump out of the trenches immediately and fight to the death with the enemy.
Ding Wei nodded with satisfaction and was about to go to the first and third battalion positions to take a look, but suddenly there was a harsh scream in his ears.
"Artillery attack!" Ding Wei reacted instantly, quickly came to an observation port, and carefully stared at the movements of the battlefield in front of him.
After the little devil suffered losses one after another, I'm afraid he won't let it go.
But this time Ding Wei did not order the soldiers to hide in the Maoer Cave. The trenches were already very deep, and there were sandbags on the edges of the trenches to protect them from the debris generated by the explosion.
Unless the shell falls directly into the trench, it will be difficult to cause harm to the people in the trench.
Artillery pieces landed on the south position of the village, making violent explosions, and the ground shook slightly with the explosions.
Although the Japanese were very powerful, they did not cause any substantial harm to the soldiers in the trenches.
The soldiers sat in the trenches, dusting themselves with boredom.
In the Japanese army position.
"Warriors, you are all the bravest warriors in the empire!" Dongdao Qingshan looked at the more than 200 soldiers in front of him, drew out his command sword, pointed at the position south of the village, and roared with a bared teeth.
"Now is the time for you to be loyal to the empire, all of you, and launch an attack on the enemy's position south of the village!"
The words just fell.
More than two hundred soldiers, with victory strips tied on their foreheads, bared their teeth and let out roars, launched an attack on the position south of the village.
Nishino Heiji's face was filled with distress. The bombardment was not over yet. If he rushed forward rashly, he would easily injure his own people.
"Nishino-kun, you don't seem to agree with my plan?" Higashishima Aoyama looked at Nishino Heiji coldly.
"Your Excellency, Captain, are we too radical?" Nishino Heiji expressed his meaning tactfully.
"Hmph, these Chinese people often say they can't bear to let go of their children, so they can't trap wolves." Dongdao Qingshan stared at the backs of the suicide squad.
"You have also seen the strong firepower of the Chinese people. We can only quickly attack the enemy's position before the Chinese people can counterattack.
Once we step into the enemy's trenches, victory will belong to our East Island Wing!"
