The afternoon battle seemed to have become a little gentle. Although it was very intense, I always felt that there was no power. The Japanese just sent a squadron at one time.︽

The fight is very cautious and every time there are major casualties, they will withdraw immediately.

Then use shells to directly cover the target area where the target is discovered!

The Japanese felt the smell. If they really sent troops in, they could defeat the Fuji Prefecture defenders. But if they did that, casualties were unacceptable to the Japanese.

In the small Teng County, in recent days, the overall casualties of the Japanese army have exceeded 4,000, and more than half of the casualties have been killed.

This has completely exceeded the Japanese army's psychological endurance!

Therefore, Isotani Ryosuke had to agree that Setani Kai would continue to command the battle to attack Fuji Prefecture. Of course, according to the military order he had made before, there would be one day left.

The Japanese army, which changed its tactics, became cunning and difficult to fight. After several contacts between the Teng County defenders, there were more casualties than the Japanese army.

Some of the Japanese army had shells and tanks. When they drove the tanks into the county to cover the infantry's attack, this greatly offset the Sichuan Army's tactical advantage.

Moreover, the Japanese army had a considerable number of grenade launchers, which was a powerful tool for street fighting and close combat. The Japanese army was well-trained and quickly adapted to this type of combat method.

Promote steadily little by little, and erode the living space of the Sichuan army in the city!

By three o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army had cleared a large area in the southeast corner, and almost one-third of the Fuji County town was completely controlled by the Japanese army.

Ryosuke Isotani expressed satisfaction with Setani's achievements. Although this style of play was a little slower, it was enough to clean up the Chinese defenders bit by bit. After calculating the time, one day was enough.

Of course, it is undeniable that without Se Takehei's morning's failure warning, Setani Kei might not have used such cautious tactics at the beginning.

But if you continue to fight like this, the ammunition consumed will increase exponentially, which is a considerable burden on the Japanese army's logistics supply.

For the next attack, Isotani Ryosuke had sent a telegram to his direct superior, Nishioji Zai, asking him to add a batch of ammunition to his troops.

"Xiao Tang, it won't work like this. If it gets dark, we will have no place to stand!"

"The Japanese army must have changed commanders. This person is very cunning and not impulsive at all. It is completely different from the one who wanted to solve us in one breath!" Of course, Tang Xiaoying noticed that the Japanese army had changed tactics.

"What should we do now?"

"We can organize a counterattack, which may delay some time." Tang Xiaoying said.

"Well, I can think of Xiaotang."

"Captain, telegram!"

"The Japanese army suddenly rushed to Ximen and was still digging trenches and building simple fortifications on both sides of the road near Dayan Village?" Tang Xiaoying was slightly surprised when she received the telegram.

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

"The Japanese want to force us to break through the Ximen and ambush us halfway?" Who was present who had fought for many years and could understand the Japanese's intentions at a glance.

"But the question is, how do the Japanese know that we will definitely break through Ximen?"

"Ximen has the least Japanese army, and it has always been a feint attack. It is the weakest link in the encirclement. If we choose to break through, we will definitely choose Ximen!"

"****, has you played military skills on your ancestors?"

"This telegram?"

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

"What, reinforcements have arrived, and they are still under the eyes and noses of the Japanese army. How did they come?" A Sichuan Army staff officer exclaimed.

"The reinforcements are at Ximen. Should we choose to break through the direction of our siege?" asked Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin.

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

"The Japanese want us to break through the Ximen. Obviously, this is beneficial to them. Not only because they can ambush halfway, but also when we move towards Weishan Lake, it is also a dead end. There are so many of us and wounded people, we cannot enter Weishan Lake without ships. At that time, we will still die. So, even if we break through the Ximen, we still have to change our direction and want to transfer the southwest mountainous areas!"

"This is consistent with the direction of the peak ordering us to break through and move."

"Xiao Tang, what are your plans?"

"The purpose of our people sending this telegram, in addition to telling us the sinister purpose of the Japanese, also said that the direction of breaking through tonight was not at the west gate, but the east gate!"

"East Gate, but aren't the East Gate occupied by the Japanese?"

"Yes, the Japanese occupied the East Gate, but do you still remember that I asked someone to give up on the East Gate, and we have the ability to regain the East Gate again, but we have not done so?" Tang Xiaoying smiled confidently.

"Why?"

"Because I left a passage at the East Gate, and we came to Teng County to help, which was not in vain. For this street battle, I directed the civilians in the city to dig a lot of secret passages underground, so that they could avoid Japanese artillery bombardment. Secondly, they could also attack the enemy in street battles. I believe everyone has seen this. Third, that is to escape, or to break through. These tunnels look unconnected on the surface, but in some places, they can be connected with them as long as they are digging for a distance. Now, our job is to dig them through!" Tang Xiaoying explained.

"Xiao Tang, are you serious?" This made the Sichuan Army generals in the war room shocked all their eyes. It turned out that a few days ago when Tang Xiaoying came to Teng County, he took people to dig holes underground all day. Later, they also learned that these holes played a huge role, protected themselves and attacked the enemy. If it weren't for these underground secret passages, the Sichuan Army wouldn't have been able to stand down today.

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

"It's true."

"Xiao Tang, why didn't you say it earlier?" someone said strangely.

"If I had said it earlier, it's possible for everyone to persist until now." Tang Xiaoying said.

"Xiao Tang, why did you think of these things? I, an old corpse, have been marching and fighting for many years, but why didn't I think of these things?" Wang Zhizhong felt much more impressed.

"We are taught by our teacher." Tang Xiaoying smiled and said proudly.

"Your teacher, the Leng Feng commander who is known as the "cold-faced King of Hell"?" Deputy Chief Luo Jiaxin exclaimed.

"Adminton Luo also knows the bandit number of our teacher?"

"Why don't you know, who doesn't know the title of Teacher Leng, isn't there any children's songs sung: Xiao Dongyang... (Student songs are really hard to find and are difficult to write. Can any classmates help?) Luo Jiaxin said, and there were still those who had eyes singing them.

The lyrics mention the three words "Leng Yan King", which refers to the story of Leng Feng leading the Yaksha Special Operations Team to fight against the Japanese invaders in the heart of the enemy in Nanjing.

I don’t know if it was the storyteller who compiled such a nursery rhyme, but it is now widely sung, and even the Sichuan Army knows it.

"Such a hero, Zhizhong really wants to ask for advice in person!" Wang Zhizhong sighed.

"Xiao Tang, tell me, 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 much, otherwise they will suffer great casualties."

"It seems that we have hurt the Japanese, so they used this method to force us to break through, right?" The generals of the Sichuan Army were not stupid, and naturally understood that the battle between the two armies was not only a battle of combat effectiveness, but also a contest of wisdom and strategy between the generals of the two sides.

"Next, let's fight back first and tell the Japanese army that we are not without the power to fight again, and then consolidate our current defense zone and wait for darkness!" Tang Xiaoying said, "In addition, what we have to do is to dig through the tunnel before darkness and cover it up with the sound of guns and cannons, which is not easy for the Japanese army to notice."

"Xiao Tang is right, you must not let the Japanese know about this."

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

"What you mean is to call the east and attack the west." Zhao Weibin said, "No, call the west and attack 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. At this time, the brigade takes the opportunity to fight out of the east gate. At this time, our people will immediately tear a hole from the east to support the brigade's breakthrough." Tang Xiaoying said.

"What about the troops behind the rear?"

"After we fight, we will withdraw immediately and follow your butt. At this time, our intentions have been exposed, so the Japanese army will definitely mobilize heavy troops to pursue us. Therefore, except for the necessary weapons, ammunition and rations, other things will be thrown away, and the ruined will be destroyed."

"It should be done lightly!"

"How to arrange a retreat? The commander-in-chief is more familiar with the troops than me. I won't get involved. I just want to fight." Tang Xiaoying said.

"Xuanwu, you, the city defense commander, must cooperate with Xiaotang. Whether our team can be safely outstanding depends on tonight." Wang Zhizhong solemnly gave Zhang Xuanwu an order.

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

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

And some places are reinforced.

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

The madman from Chifeng City who was desperate to fight, had already chased after him with his troops and pushed the front five kilometers forward.

This matter is very strange. The 10th Division of the Japanese Army is known as the "Steel Army". Its combat effectiveness is by no means "blowing". It suddenly retreated for five kilometers.

This is obviously unreasonable.

What do the Japanese want to do?

The Japanese's move was obviously very purposeful. They obviously wanted to go south, but suddenly retracted, which was very strange.

On Weishan Island.

"Old Xie, the Japanese army's actions are very abnormal. Logically, they occupied the upper peak in Guanqiao. The 31st Division in Chifeng City can fight, but it is impossible to defeat the Japanese army in a short period of time."

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

"This is possible. Our opponents do not control the powerful combat troops, and they are not stupid." Leng Feng nodded, "From the Japanese besiege of Teng County, their troops are obviously arranged in three sieges and one siege. Yes, I understand, the Japanese army wants to lure our Teng County defenders to break through!"

"Teduce our army to break through?"

"Our Teng County defender is in the city. Although it is a ruin, it can still provide shelter and fight street battles with the Japanese army. The street battle this morning 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 chasing again. Where is the 31st Division now?"

"Here!" Xie Jiyuan stood up and pointed at the map.

"Nansha River."

"No, the Japanese army killed two birds with one stone. Hurry up, send a telegram to Chief Li and ask him to order the 31st Division to withdraw immediately and stop chasing!" Leng Feng frowned instantly when he saw the terrain.

"What's wrong, teacher?"

"Look at the terrain on the south bank of the Nansha River is so flat that a group of Japanese tanks charge, and we have almost no danger to defend." Leng Feng said.

"Isn't there any blocking Nansha River?"

"Do you think the Japanese army will come from the front?" Leng Feng sneered, "If what I expected was not bad, the Japanese army would have hidden their troops eastward during the retreat. Under the cover of the night, the 31st Division may not notice it. If they stayed in place, they would suffer a catastrophe early tomorrow morning!"

"This is terrible!"

"Even if Chifeng City crossed the Nansha River, the situation would be even worse." Leng Feng was anxious inside, so he could not let such an army fall into the Japanese army's calculations.

Who is commanding the Japanese army? This is definitely not the guy Isotani who is eager for quick success and has a stubborn mind, but Kei Setani, this cunning guy!
