Morale can be boosted but not let down. Zhao Zhiguo's trip to the front line is to tell his brothers that he is by their side at all times.

"Captain, please add a few more people to us!" Gao Cang said to Zhao Zhiguo.

"You have all the soldiers in our regiment, what else do you want me to add?"

"Captain, don't you still have a few fierce men in your hands? Aren't they all known to kill like crazy, and are they all cold-blooded killers?" Gao Cang said.

"Are you talking about the prisoners?"

After a battle with the Japanese on the city wall, out of the eighty-two prisoners, there were still 60 people left. Among them, Zhu Hongsi fought particularly bravely and was targeted by Gao Cang.

"People can be given to you, but can you, Gao Cang, guarantee that you will treat them equally?"

Although they were prisoners, Zhao Zhiguo did not treat them as prisoners at all after taking them to the battlefield.

"Captain, when did this happen? Do I still have any thoughts on treating them differently? I want to put them into Tian Kezhi's platoon and let them go to the right wing."

"Tian Kezhi, what do you think?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"Captain, you know my origin, so I can't possibly treat you differently," Tian Kezhi said.

"I believe in you, Tian Kezhi. I'm asking, can you guard the right wing? Even if you don't go, Gao Cang will send others."

"Captain, please rest assured, as long as there is no order, we will never take a step back."

"Well, except for Zhu Hongsi and a few people who have been organized into various units, I will supplement the rest for you and assign you two light machine guns. You have a flexible mind and I hope you won't be too rigid during the war." Zhao Zhiguo is also the same.

I wish I could divide one person into two people.

In the afternoon, Japanese mortar shells continued to fall around the defense line of Zhao Zhiguo and his regiment, and the Japs were getting closer and closer to them.

"Tell the brothers, if the kid doesn't come within ten meters of us, you're not allowed to shoot."

Although their soldiers' marksmanship is very accurate, once the target is exposed, the grenades and mortars of the Japs will strike at the exposed firepower point, which may injure other brothers.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the battlefield suddenly became quiet, and gunshots were only heard sporadically.

The Japanese army also noticed the strange silence on the battlefield, but they did not stop their attack and were still cooperating with each other to search the house.

"Boom boom boom"

After several little devils entered the house, before they could see clearly what was in the house, several explosions sounded in the house, and none of the little devils who entered came out.

The little devils in the rear were also very cautious, not daring to charge in easily, and were ready to throw grenades inside.

"Da da da"

Just when the little devil was about to clean the room, more than a dozen shooting holes suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls, and machine guns and rifles were shooting at the little devil.

More than a dozen little Japanese soldiers were shot and fell. When the soldiers saw that the little Japanese soldiers had been cleared away, they immediately moved their positions!

When the Japs in the rear saw that the troops in front of them were ambushed, they immediately came up to reinforce them, surrounded the house where the firepower had just been, and then threw grenades inside.

After the explosion, the Japanese soldiers immediately attacked the house, but as soon as they rushed into the house, they were hit by booby traps laid by the soldiers in advance.

"Boom boom boom"

The little devil has been fighting in the city for so long, and he knows that the Chinese army is very difficult to deal with, but he has never encountered such a closely arranged opponent.

Capturing a room would cost more than a dozen casualties, and there would be more corpses left behind than in the previous battles. How dare the little devils dare to advance so easily.

"Captain, the little devil has stopped attacking!"

At this time, there was still more than half an hour before dark, and Zhao Zhiguo and his regiment had already come into contact with the Japanese army. However, after they had just fought several times, the Japs could no longer hold on and stopped attacking.

"It seems that the Japs want to take advantage of the darkness to prepare a defense and use grenades to force the Japs back! We can't let them get too close."

"Boom boom boom"

Before the little Japs could set up defenses, several grenade shells fell into the house. The little Japs who survived the disaster stopped hiding in the house and hurriedly retreated.

But as soon as they left the bunker, they immediately became targets for the soldiers.

"From now on, whenever you see a kid, no matter whether you can hit him or not, you must shoot him and then move your position immediately!" Zhao Zhiguo ordered.

The Japanese army had been attacking for a day and had not made much progress in Pingcheng. Now they encountered another tough opponent.

Under Zhao Zhiguo's order, the soldiers of his regiment attacked everywhere, not to seize houses and bunkers with the Japanese army, but to find a shooting position from a certain angle, and then shoot at the Japanese army, thereby reducing the Japanese army's combat effectiveness.

Although each shot cannot kill a Jaap, as long as it can injure a Jaap and cause harm to the Jaap, it can serve as a deterrent to the Japanese soldiers.

Although it was only half an hour until dark, the Japanese troops were so beaten that they did not dare to show their heads, let alone leave their bunkers.

After it got dark, the little devils didn't even dare to light a fire, for fear that there would be an unknown angle on the battlefield that could hit them.

The Japanese soldiers spent the night in fear. When they woke up the next day, soldiers from Zhao Zhiguo's regiment were already waiting for the little Japs.

As soon as the kid tried to stop the attack, Zhao Zhiguo had already aimed his gun at the place where the kid came out.

"Bang"

There was a gunshot, and the little Jaap who had just walked out of the bunker covered his chest and retreated, then fell on the soldier behind him and stopped breathing.

Seeing how accurate the Chinese army's marksmanship was, the little Japanese didn't dare to show his head. He held a mirror and stretched out from the bunker, trying to find Zhao Zhiguo's location.

But what greeted them was a grenade. Although the grenade did not hit the little devil, it blew the little devil's mirror into pieces.

The Japanese soldiers in other directions also encountered this problem. The Japanese soldiers were suppressed in the bunker and did not dare to show their heads, let alone attack.

As the little Japanese soldiers were suppressed, the Chinese soldiers moved in other directions, and then through the bombed walls full of holes, they knocked down the little Japanese soldiers who were exposed at any time.

Wails could be heard from every corner of the battlefield at any time. More and more wounded soldiers were being injured. The Japanese troops in the rear wanted to support them many times. Qin Dongsheng immediately mobilized mortars to suppress the troops supported by the Japanese troops.

There was a vacuum zone between the Japanese attacking troops and the large troops in the rear. The Japanese troops did not dare to support easily despite the artillery fire. Cold gunmen kept firing, and the Japanese troops in front did not dare to step out of their bunkers to attack.

In this way, the two sides faced off for a whole morning without making any progress.
