Once the city wall was broken, both sides found the focus of their fight.

Although the charging troops had no intention of attacking the gap in the city wall, a gap appeared in the city wall, just like a beautiful woman exposing her key parts.

While preventing the Chinese army from attacking the gap, the little Japanese were rearranging firepower points in the city.

Under the light of the explosion, Yao Pengju stared intently at the troops fighting in front.

Under such visual conditions, even if the snipers of their special forces team participated in the battle, they would not be able to achieve much effect.

"In this battle, even if a gap is opened, effective progress cannot be made." Yao Pengju muttered in his heart.

The effective strength of the Japanese army in the city has not been eliminated, and a steady stream of little Japs will block the gaps.

After observing at the front for a while, Yao Pengju returned to Qin Dongsheng's headquarters.

"Old Qin, although the gap has been opened, it is not realistic to attack the city. Have you reported this matter to the commander?" Yao Peng asked.

If they want to rush into the city through the gap, Qin Dongsheng and his group may not be able to rush into the city even if they all get in.

"The main direction of attack in the second stage is not in this gap." Qin Dongsheng said.

The Second Regiment and the Third Regiment are already considering digging tunnels.

"Not here? Is this just to contain the Japanese troops?" Yao Peng asked.

This gap has become the most vulnerable point in Jinyang City's defense.

When the second phase of the attack begins, the Japs will definitely subconsciously increase their troops here.

"Thanks for being the captain of the special force, he revealed the secret in just one sentence." Qin Dongsheng said with a smile.

"What a bullshit secret. If this battle continues, the little devil will see the flaws." Yao Pengju said.

In this battle, the thunder was loud and the rain was light.

The little devil commander is not a fool. If he continues to act like this, the little devil will soon realize that there is something wrong with this battle.

"Old Yao, do you have any good ideas?" Qin Dongsheng asked.

"The troops have stopped attacking. Tomorrow's retreat of 20 kilometers will be changed to a retreat of 10 kilometers, and we will continue to put pressure on Jinyang." Yao Pengju said.

Once the little devil sees that Zhao Zhiguo's troops do not really want to expand their results through the gap, they will definitely put their main attack direction elsewhere.

"You, Yao, can be the deputy commander of our first military division, but I have to report the news to the headquarters first," Qin Dongsheng said.

Tonight's attack was delayed for too long.

Troops in other directions have not made much progress, which is not in line with the style of Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

Since the battle began, Zhao Zhiguo has been guarding the headquarters.

"What time is it?" Zhao Zhiguo immediately asked the staff officer on duty after seeing the telegram.

"Report to the leader, 2:12 in the morning."

"Our troops have been operating for more than four hours." Zhao Zhiguo calculated silently, "Sent a telegram to the frontline troops to stop all military operations at 2:30 in the morning. After the original planned retreat of 20 kilometers,

Withdraw ten kilometers, and the remaining matters will be discussed by the four regiment commanders. If the matter is urgent, there is no need to report it to the headquarters."

I will not receive your order from the outside king.

Zhao Zhiguo wants to give more power to frontline troops to ensure that they can respond immediately when encountering emergencies.

"Old Yao, the commander adopted your idea." Qin Dongsheng said, "The communications troops immediately sent orders to the other three regiments. After receiving the news, they withdrew from the battle. Our second regiment was responsible for the aftermath."

A large number of troops cannot retreat after shouting loudly.

Which troops will withdraw first, where they will withdraw for support, and which troops will retreat must be arranged in advance.

The guns and artillery in Jinyang City disappeared, everything happened so suddenly.

The whole world became quiet, as if nothing happened just now.

The living Japanese and puppet soldiers lay lazily behind the bunker, and some lit up a cigarette.

The sound of dogs barking came from the city, as if the sound came from another world.

"The Chinese army retreated?"

The Japanese commander looked at the three-meter-long hole that was blown out of the city wall and couldn't believe that the Chinese army had retreated like this.

"We are not yet sure that the Chinese army will retreat, it is too dark," a Japanese officer reminded.

It was pitch dark outside Jinyang City, and even the little devil could not determine what the Chinese army was doing.

Maybe they just retreated temporarily and then reorganized their attack.

"Pass this order, the troops must not relax their vigilance to prevent the Chinese army from attacking again." the Japanese commander ordered.

It was still dark, and it would take some time for their reinforcements to arrive, so the little devils did not dare to let down their guard.

Japanese troops supporting Jinyang converged on Jinyang City from all directions. As long as reinforcements appeared near Jinyang City, they could form a double-team on the attacking Chinese army.

It was getting brighter, and it was only then that the little devil discovered that there was no Chinese soldier outside the city.

The fortifications originally deployed by the Japanese army outside the city were already in a mess.

"Send out scouts to detect the movements of the Chinese army."

Zhao Zhiguo's troops suddenly withdrew from the battlefield, and the little devil did not dare to be careless.

If they relax their vigilance at this time, Zhao Zhiguo's troops will suddenly respond with a counterattack, which will make it difficult for the garrison to parry.

While the Japanese army sent troops to inquire about the situation of the Chinese army, they also arranged for troops to repair the gaps in the city wall.

It didn't take long for the Japs' scouts to send back the news that the Chinese army was stationed ten kilometers outside the city and seemed to be preparing for an attack.

Hearing that the Chinese army had not withdrawn, the Japanese army once again felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall were well prepared with ammunition and did not dare to step down the city wall.

The Japanese commander once again mobilized some troops to the city wall to prepare for any response.

However, neither Zhao Ziming nor Qin Dongsheng had any intention of launching another attack. It was not that they lacked troops or that they did not have enough ammunition.

Rather, they have basically completed the first phase of the mission.

Japanese reinforcements from all directions have been dispatched. They only need to put a little pressure on Jinyang. When the Japanese reinforcements get closer to Jinyang, they can continue to retreat.

The Japanese commander in Jinyang City did not make a correct judgment. He believed that the Chinese army would still launch an attack. Even if they did not attack during the day, they would still launch an attack at night.

Therefore, the Japanese commander did not notify the troops supporting them to stop operations.

It is precisely because of this that the Japanese troops coming from the direction of Bingzhou encountered an ambush by troops arranged by Zhao Zhiguo.

Although the Japanese troops dispatched to Bingzhou had already expected that there would be an ambush during their march, they still felt aggrieved when they were blown up by a mine midway.

Without seeing the Chinese army, the little Japanese were killed by landmines first, killing more than a dozen people.

The Japanese troops quickly prepared themselves for the attack.
