The afternoon battle seemed to have become gentler, and although it was fierce, it always felt that there was no strength, and the Japanese sent a squadron at a time.

They fought very cautiously, and every time there were heavy casualties, they would immediately withdraw.

And then cover the area where the target was found directly with shells!

The Japanese felt that if they really sent troops in, they would be able to bulldoze the defenders of Fuji County, but in doing so, it would be unacceptable for the Japanese to suffer casualties.

In the tiny county of Teng County, in the past few days, the overall casualties of the Japanese army have exceeded 4,000, and more than half of the casualties have been killed.

This is completely beyond the psychological capacity of the Japanese army!

Therefore, Ryosuke Isoya had to agree that Kei Seya would continue to command the battle to attack Fuji Prefecture below, of course, according to the military order he had made before, there was still one day.

The Japanese army, which had changed its tactics, became cunning and difficult to fight, and the defenders of Tengxian County came into contact several times, but the casualties were more than those of the Japanese army.

The Japanese had artillery shells and tanks, and when they drove the tanks into the county town to cover the infantry attack, this greatly offset the tactical advantage of the Sichuan army.

Moreover, the Japanese army had a considerable number of grenadiers, which were a sharp weapon for street fighting and close combat, and the Japanese army was well-trained and quickly adapted to this style of fighting.

Steadily advance little by little, and encroach on the living space of the Sichuan army in the city!

By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army had cleared out a large area in the southeast corner, and almost one-third of the county seat of Tengxian County was completely controlled by the Japanese army.

Ryosuke Isoya expressed satisfaction with the results achieved by Kei Seya, although this style of play was a little slower, but little by little the Chinese defenders were cleared, and if you calculate the time, one day is enough.

Of course, it is undeniable that if it were not for the warning of Setakehei's defeat in the morning, Kei Seya would not necessarily have used such a cautious tactic at first.

However, if the war continues in this way, the ammunition consumed will increase exponentially, and it will be a considerable burden on the logistics supply of the Japanese army.

For the next step of the attack, Ryosuke Isoya had sent a telegram to his immediate superior, Nishiojizo, asking him to replenish his troops with a batch of ammunition.

"Xiaotang, it's not okay to fight like this, when it gets dark, we won't have a place to stand!"

"The Japanese army must have changed its commander, this person is very cunning, and he is not impulsive at all, it is completely different from the one who wanted to solve us in one go!" Of course, Tang Xiaoying sensed that the Japanese army had changed tactics.

"So what do we do now?"

"We can organize a counterattack, so maybe we can delay some time." Tang Xiaoying said.

"Well, I think it's okay to think about Xiao Tang."

"Captain, telegram!"

"The Japanese army suddenly increased its troops to the West Gate, and they were also digging trenches and building improvised fortifications on both sides of the road near Dayan Village?" Tang Xiaoying was slightly startled when she received the telegram.

"What, the Japanese army digging trenches outside the West Gate?"

"The Japanese want to force us to break through from the West Gate and then ambush us halfway?" Whoever was present who had not fought for many years understood at a glance the intentions of the Japanese.

"But the question is, how did the Japanese know that we would definitely break through from the West Gate?"

"The West Gate has the fewest Japanese troops, and it has always been a feint, which is the weakest link in the encirclement, if we choose to break through, we will inevitably choose the West Gate!"

"****, playing the art of war to the ancestors?"

"This telegram?"

"Our reinforcements are just outside the West Gate, not far from the Japanese army." Tang Xiaoying said.

"What, reinforcements have already arrived, and they are still under the nose of the Japanese army, how did they come here?" A Sichuan army staff officer exclaimed.

"The reinforcements are at the West Gate, so is it that the direction we chose to break through is at the West Gate?" Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin asked.

"What does the commander-in-chief think?"

"The Japanese want us to break through from the West Gate, obviously, this is beneficial to them, not only because they can ambush halfway, but also, we move to the direction of Weishan Lake, it is also a dead end, so many of us, and the wounded, in the absence of boats, can not enter Weishan Lake at all, when the time comes, we will still die, so, even if we break through from the West Gate, we have to change the direction and want to move to the southwest mountainous area!"

"This is consistent with the direction in which Shangfeng ordered us to break through and transfer."

"Xiaotang, what are your plans?"

"The purpose of this telegram sent by our people, in addition to telling us the insidious purpose of the Japanese, also said that the direction of the breakthrough tonight is not at the west gate, but at the east gate!"

"East Gate, but isn't the East Gate occupied by devils?"

"That's right, the devil occupied the East Gate, but do you remember that I made the East Gate give up on my own initiative, and we have the ability to recover the East Gate again, but we have not done so?" Tang Xiaoying smiled confidently.

"Why?"

"Because, I left a passage at the east gate, we came to Teng County to help, not in vain, for this street battle, I commanded the people in the city to dig a lot of secret passages underground, since it is to avoid the shelling of the Japanese army, and secondly, you can also fight the enemy in the street battle, which I believe you have seen, third, that is, to escape, it can also be said to break through, these tunnels do not seem to be connected on the surface, but some places can be connected as long as they dig a distance, and now, our job is to dig them through!" Tang Xiaoying explained.

"Xiaotang, are you serious?" It turned out that Tang Xiaoying came to Teng County a few days ago, and took people to dig holes underground all day long, and later, they also knew that these holes played a huge role, protected themselves, and hit the enemy, if it weren't for these underground secret passages, the Sichuan army really couldn't stand up today.

But now the bigger surprise is that these holes can be connected and lead directly to the east gate, which is simply a surprise.

"It's true."

"Xiaotang, why didn't you say it earlier?" Someone wondered.

"If I had said it earlier, I couldn't have said it until now." Tang Xiaoying said.

"Xiaotang, why did you think of this, I, an old soldier, have been marching and fighting for many years, why didn't I think of this?" Wang Zhizhong admired a lot.

"Our teacher taught it." Tang Xiaoying smiled and said proudly.

"Your division, the commander of the cold front who is known as the 'cold-faced Hades'?" Adjutant Luo Jiaxin exclaimed.

"Adjutant Luo also knows the bandit name of our division?"

"Why don't you know, who doesn't know the title of Master Leng, isn't there a children's rhyme to sing: Little Dongyang...... (Children's songs are really hard to find and hard to compose, can any classmates help?) Luo Jiaxin said, and Ben had eyes to sing.

The lyrics mention the words "Leng Hades", which is the story of Leng Feng leading the Yasha Special Task Force to fight against the Japanese invaders in the heart of the enemy in Nanjing.

I don't know if the storyteller made up such a children's rhyme, and now it is widely sung, and even the Sichuan army knows it.

"Such a heroic figure, Zhong really wants to ask for advice in person!" Wang Zhizhong said with emotion.

"Xiaotang, you say, what should we do next?"

"Since the Japanese also know that if we stay in the city and fight to the death, we will definitely fight to the death, so they will definitely not push too hard, and then they will also have a lot of casualties."

"It looks like we hurt the little devils, and they used this method to force us to break through, right?" The generals of the Sichuan army are not stupid, and naturally understand that the battle between the two armies is not only a contest of combat effectiveness, but also a contest of wisdom and strategy of the generals of both sides.

"Next, let's fight a counterattack first, tell the Japanese army that we are not without the strength to fight again, and then consolidate our current defense area, and then wait for dark!" Tang Xiaoying said, "In addition, what we have to do is to dig the tunnel before it gets dark, and cover it up with the help of gunfire, so that the Japanese army will not be easy to detect." ”

"Xiao Tang is right, this matter must not be known to the little devil."

"There must be a force that breaks off and attracts the attention of the Japanese army."

"You mean, it's a big deal." Zhao Weibin said, "No, the sound of the west hitting the east? ”

"Yes, when the brigade enters the tunnel and goes to the east gate, we need to launch a breakthrough attack on the Japanese army outside the west gate, and the brigade will take the opportunity to kill from the east gate at this time, at this time, our people will immediately tear a hole from the east and respond to the brigade to break through." Tang Xiaoying said.

"What about the broken troops?"

"After we finish fighting, we'll withdraw right away, and we'll follow your. Behind the stock, at this time our intentions have been exposed, so the Japanese army will definitely mobilize heavy troops to pursue us, so in addition to the necessary weapons, ammunition and rations, everything else will be thrown away, and what will be destroyed will be destroyed. ”

"Yes, travel light!"

"How to arrange the retreat, the commander-in-chief is more familiar with the troops than me, I will not mix, I will only fight." Tang Xiaoying said.

"Xuanwu, you, the commander of the city defense, must cooperate well with Xiao Tang, whether our team can stand out safely depends on tonight." Wang Zhizhong solemnly gave an order to Zhang Xuanwu.

"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, Xuanwu will definitely live up to his mission and cooperate well with the work of Staff Officer Tang!" Zhang Xuanwu said loudly.

Having the opportunity to break out alive, the brothers of the Sichuan army and the young men of Teng County burst out with strong enthusiasm one by one, and it only took two hours to open an underground passage from the west of the city to the east of the city.

And reinforcement was also carried out in some places.

At this time, Wang Zhizhong received a telegram from the commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army, and the Japanese troops confronting the Second Army at Guanqiao suddenly retreated five kilometers to the north.

The madman of Chifeng Castle, who was desperate to fight a battle, had already chased after him with his own troops and pushed the front forward by five kilometers.

This matter is very strange, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army is known as the "Steel Army", and its combat effectiveness is by no means "blown", and it suddenly retreats five kilometers in defeat.

This is clearly unreasonable.

What do the Japanese want to do?

The Japanese obviously had a strong purpose in this move, and they were obviously going south, and they suddenly retracted, which was very strange.

Weishan Island.

"Lao Xie, this action of the Japanese army is very abnormal, according to reason, they occupy the upper peak in Guanqiao, and the 31st Division of Chifeng City can fight, but it is impossible to defeat the Japanese army in a short time."

"Is it possible that the Japanese army deliberately released water?" Xie Jiyuan analyzed.

"It's possible, our opponents don't have strong fighting forces at their disposal, and they're not stupid." Leng Feng nodded, "Judging from the Japanese army's siege of Teng County, their platoon formation is obviously a siege of three and one is missing, yes, I understand, the Japanese army is trying to induce my Teng County defenders to break through!" ”

"Lure our army to break through?"

"The defenders of our Teng County are holding on to the city, although it is a ruin, but it can still provide shelter and fight street battles with the Japanese army, and this morning's street fighting caused huge casualties to the Japanese army, in the afternoon, the Japanese army changed its tactics, at this time the Japanese army suddenly retreated, and the 31st Division was in hot pursuit, where is the 31st Division now?"

"Here!" Xie Jiyuan got up and pointed on the map.

"Nansha River."

"It's not good, the Japanese army is killing two birds with one stone, hurry, send a telegram to Chief Li, and ask him to order the 31st Division to withdraw immediately and stop pursuing!" Leng Feng looked at the terrain, and his brows instantly furrowed.

"What's the matter, Master?"

"You see, the terrain on the south bank of the Nansha River is so flat that the Japanese tanks charge in a group, and we are almost in danger to defend." Leng Feng said.

"Isn't there still the Nansha River blocking it?"

"Do you think the Japanese will come from the front?" Leng Feng sneered, "If my expectations are correct, the Japanese army must have hidden its forces to the east in the process of retreating, and under the cover of night, the 31st Division may not notice it, if it stays in place, it will be wiped out early tomorrow morning!" ”

"It's horrible!"

"Even if Chi Fengcheng crosses the Nansha River, then the situation is even worse." Leng Feng was anxious in his heart, he couldn't let such a force fall into the calculations of the Japanese army.

Who is commanding the Japanese army, this is by no means Ryosuke Isoya, a guy who is eager for quick success and has a tendon in his head, it is Kei Seya, this cunning guy!
