After the troops on the front line withdrew during the day, there has been no movement.

The Japanese troops in the city also didn't know what Zhao Zhiguo's troops were going to do.

The movement last night sounded like the Chinese army was about to invade the city in one go.

But today during the day, half of the time has passed, and the other party has not even launched a charge.

The quieter the battlefield, the more unnerving it is!

The little devils kept sending scouts out of the city to conduct reconnaissance, trying to find out the reality of the Chinese army outside the city.

Until now, the Japanese army does not know how many Chinese troops are attacking them and what their firepower is.

The scouts sent out soon discovered that there were traces of Chinese troops in the four directions of Jinyang City, the southeast, northwest, and south.

Although Jinyang City is not completely surrounded, the important channels to the outside world have been cut off.

"The Chinese troops outside the city have not retreated, and they may launch an attack tonight." said the Japanese military officer.

Using the cover of night to get close to the Japanese positions and launch a sudden attack was a method that had been tried and tested many times.

But tonight, the little devil had a long memory, and illumination bombs rose from the top of the city wall one after another, illuminating the outside of the city as bright as day.

"Little devil, the flares are quite well prepared. It's been two hours, right? It hasn't broken yet!"

It had just gotten dark, and Zhao Ziming and the others had been paying attention to the direction of the city wall.

More than two hours had passed, and they couldn't count how many flares the Japs had fired.

"Commander, do you want to postpone the attack?" a battalion commander asked.

The Chinese soldiers did not believe that the Japs had enough flares to last all night.

I guess if we delay it for a few more hours, the little devil will soon calm down.

"Has our mortar unit set off?" Zhao Ziming asked.

"Judging from the time, they have arrived at the Second Regiment's position."

"Send a telegram to Commander Qin and ask them if they want to change the battle time." Zhao Ziming asked.

Tonight, Qin Dongsheng's second troupe plays the leading role!

Maybe the three regiments just need to shout to build momentum, and there is no need to send out troops at all.

"Report to the commander of the regiment, the second regiment telegraphed that they are ready and will act according to the original plan." the signal soldier reported.

"It seems that Lao Qin and the others are confident." Zhao Ziming said.

"As long as the situation detected by the commander is true and the Japanese army has not changed, our operation tonight will go smoothly," the regiment staff officer said.

"As long as there is an explosion over there, all the troops will shout the slogan of charge. The gunfire does not need to be heard, but the momentum must be felt by the Japanese army."

Their main purpose tonight is not to attack the city, but to build momentum.

The greater the momentum, the greater the pressure on the Japanese army.

If the city wall collapses and the Chinese army launches another general offensive, it will inevitably cause huge psychological pressure on the Japanese troops in Jinyang City.

"Captain, don't worry. All our troops have been prepared for a long time. As long as the Second Regiment breaks through the city wall, our light and heavy firepower will fire at the Japanese army."

Their purpose was to attract Japanese reinforcements.

I just wanted to see from which directions the Japanese army would send troops when Jinyang City was in crisis.

These troops dispatched will pose a threat to Zhao Zhiguo and others in which areas of their defense area.

When Zhao Zhiguo and others attack in the second stage, they will be able to prepare targeted defenses.

"Boom boom boom"

Qin Dongsheng gathered two regiments of mortars here, aimed at the coordinates given to them by Zhao Zhiguo, and provided fire coverage.

The cannonballs were like meteors, flying across the night sky quickly and landing on the city wall accurately.

Several artillery shells simultaneously hit the ammunition stored by the Japanese army above the city wall.

This section of the city wall is the most inconspicuous part of the defense. The little devil didn't expect that it was already controlled by Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

"boom"

The explosion of ammunition above the city wall made the entire Jinyang City tremble.

The fire produced by the explosion was several times brighter than the Japs' flares. A fireball rising into the sky was like the birth of a new sun to Jinyang City.

The Japanese commanders were stunned when they saw the rising fireball.

As soon as the explosion dissipated and the fireball had not yet fallen, a murderous cry that was even more earth-shattering than the explosion rang out from outside the city.

"Come on!"

The shouts and roars of tens of thousands of people rushed from all directions, piercing the sky and falling into Jinyang City.

"Your Excellency, Commander, China...the Chinese army has launched an attack on us." A Japanese officer reported.

The sound of artillery fire outside the city still did not stop. Qin Dongsheng focused almost all his regiment's artillery fire on the place where the explosion had just occurred.

Although they could not be sure in the darkness whether the city wall was still intact, they were sure that that was the direction of their attack tonight.

"Boom boom boom"

Explosive charges exploded near the city wall.

Explosions continued to hit the broken city wall, the bricks on the city wall were crumbling, and rubble continued to fall off.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall mobilized urgently and deployed in this direction, because they knew that the city wall here would soon be breached.

Under continuous bombing, the city wall that had gone through many vicissitudes of life could no longer withstand the violent impact of the explosions and collapsed.

Chinese troops from other directions also launched a fierce attack on the city wall, and light and heavy firepower from all directions continued to greet the Japanese troops on the city wall.

The Japanese army also began a fierce counterattack.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, a hole was opened in the city wall. Chinese troops attacked from all four directions of Jinyang City. The west of the city is in emergency, and the north and east of the city are also suppressed by artillery fire. They are in urgent need of reinforcements," said the Japanese communications officer.

Report.

For a time, the siege from all directions made it difficult for the little devil to deal with it.

"Order the artillery to bombard the gaps in the city wall. We must not allow the Chinese army to break into the city."

The Japanese army deployed artillery positions on the city wall.

They originally wanted to blow up the Chinese army's artillery, but they never found the location of the Chinese army's artillery position.

Now that there is a gap in the city wall, as long as they cover it with artillery fire, no one can enter the city through the gap.

"Notify the troops in the city, except for the guard troops, to immediately send reinforcements in other directions."

As a hole was blown out of the city wall, the commander of the little devil also panicked.

If they cannot block this opening, the Chinese army will file in through the gap in the city wall.

The Japanese army not only used artillery to fire at the gap in the city wall to block the charging Chinese army, but also took the opportunity to set up a fire defense line at the gap in the city.

As the fighting intensified, the Japanese commanders also sent telegrams asking for help to surrounding Japanese troops.

Qin Dongsheng did not order the troops of the Second Regiment to attack the gap, but instead used mortars to continuously fire fire on both sides of the gap to widen the gap.
