The battle of Jincheng started in the afternoon.

But the battle continued. There was a setting sun in the west and the battlefield was filled with smoke. The bright moon was not even half-covered, and under the bloody setting sun, there was smoke everywhere.

Outside Jincheng, every stronghold had its own defensive fortifications, with flames of all sizes blazing.

In some places, there were even chain explosions, with huge flames shooting straight into the sky.

Under the light of the fire, the corpses around were revealed, and the thick blood mixed with the scorched earth, turning it into a bloody black.

"Xu Jingqiang, occupy the bomb crater on the right." Song Zicheng, who was following behind Zou Min, ran quickly with a spear in his hand, and said loudly.

Under the three-three offensive system of the whole group, Xu Jingqiang, Zou Min and Song Zicheng naturally walked together.

"I'm in the bomb pit. There are two remaining devils on the platoon leader's right wing. You go left and I go right. Next bunker, platoon leader's left wing."

Xu Jingqiang lay on the crater and fired a shot, while Song Zicheng was not willing to be left behind. He fired two shots quickly while running, killing the two Japanese soldiers and quickly ran to Zou Min's side.

"Platoon leader, we are running too far ahead. We can't get enough fire support from behind."

"We can rush directly to the city wall and the gate tower, which is the enemy's blind spot."

"That's a good idea, but to get past the enemy's fire zone, we have to sneak through the trenches on the right wing. Passing the enemy's position is the most critical."

At a certain position, Zou Min, hiding in a trench, listened to the communication between his left and right sides. He felt that in addition to the sound of gunfire, there was also a buzzing sound in his head.

These two people are really talkative. Originally, it would have been fine if it was just Song Zicheng, he was just a little irritable after the battle, but these two people got together and never stopped talking after they went to the battlefield.

Even their voices were hoarse, but they still maintained a very dense communication, which made the cooperation between the two men, one strong and one thin, extremely perfect, and made his pace faster.

"Platoon leader, can you say something?" Song Zicheng leaned against the trench, wiped the dirt off his forehead, and asked sincerely.

Zou Min rolled his eyes in annoyance. If he wanted to speak, he had to find time.

"Sneak through the trench on the right wing." Zou Min said this during the opportunity, and then quickly left the bunker and rushed forward.

"Brother Qiang, you're on the left and I'm on the right..."

"Okay...help me light it up first."

"Suppressing...suppressing."

"Come on, come on."

"I'm coming."

In the communication between Xu Yongqiang and Song Zicheng, the two took turns covering each other, but their early routes were all advanced with Zou Min as the core.

And next to them were many three-person teams, making rapid breakthroughs.

They were the first to charge into battle and kill the enemy.

Wang Jiantang kept observing the battlefield. Seeing Zou Min quickly approaching the city gate tower, he raised the light machine gun in his hand.

The Japanese soldiers who were about to show their heads in the trench in front of him were instantly suppressed by a burst of gunfire. Above their heads, there were bursts of artillery fire, which continued to suppress the firepower of the heavy machine guns on the city wall.

In the darkness of night, the fire from the machine gun in Wang Jiantang's hand kept imprinting on his ferocious face, and he didn't look like a teacher at all.

"Let the second battalion commander Wang Fu go to cover Zou Min in attacking the city gate!" After firing a round of bullets, Wang Jiantang threw the gun to Da Niu behind him and roared loudly.

Jincheng was right in front of him, and at this moment Wang Jiantang realized that he only had one last breath to break through the city gate.

Wang Jiantang took over the best machine gun from Danniu, raised it, and with the veins on his arm bulging, he roared with a ferocious expression:

"Changsheng, prepare to..."

"Commander, the latest order from the brigade commander is to hold the city gate after it is breached. Withdraw two battalions except for the troops participating in the attack on the city gate." Before Wang Jiantang could finish his words, the logistics telephone team on the side spoke quickly.

Peng Changsheng's hands froze quickly and his eyes fell on Wang Jiantang, fearing that once he raised his flag, the entire regiment would be unable to hold it back.

"What?" Wang Jiantang thought he had misheard.

"The brigade commander ordered us to break through the city gate and hold it, and withdraw two battalions." The soldier shouted again.

Wang Jiantang resisted the urge to charge, as he knew very well that he had discovered a new opportunity.

"The first and third battalions take the city gate, the second and fourth battalions retreat!" Wang Jiantang fired a volley of bullets at the Japanese soldiers who were still wailing and crawling in the trenches without any hesitation. He glanced at Jincheng with his bloodshot eyes and forcibly suppressed the urge to charge.

On the hillside behind, Lin Tianchen's eyes were fixed on the northeast direction extending thirty kilometers on the visual map. A group of bright red dots were coming to reinforce Jincheng.

"Brigade Commander, half of the first and second regiments have withdrawn." Fang Bailu quickly ran to Lin Tianchen and reported.

After hearing this, Lin Tianchen nodded and said again:

"Tell the First and Second Regiments to withdraw their troops to the back of the hillside in Area 95 and advance towards Area 180. There's no need to run telephone lines there; artillery fire will be the signal."

"The artillery in Jincheng has been almost dealt with. Move Zhuzi's heavy artillery to the 85 area." Lin Tianchen issued one order after another in a quick tone.

Today's commands and orders are much more complicated. There are telephone papers transmitted via telephone lines, artillery fire, artillery regiments, and a Dabao.

Using legs to pass orders is also a way for the Tiger Guards to communicate. As long as the orders can be conveyed to all units, it is a good way of communication.

Lin Tianchen did not move in the command room, but spoke again:

"Tell the New First and New Second Regiments not to force an attack for now."

"Yes!!"

As another order was issued, Lin Tianchen looked at the map covered with red in his mind with his eyes full of worry. He even took a nap before launching the attack.

After all, with the outbreak of the Jincheng War, he will need to command a high-intensity and long-term battle. Now that he has started, he must not give the enemy a chance to breathe.

Now, the Japanese reinforcements in Jincheng, coming from an unknown direction, have appeared within 28 kilometers.

Facing the impending street fighting, Lin Tianchen was in no rush to engage. Once this unit reached Jincheng, they would be attacked from both sides. Rather than engaging in street fighting within the city and being attacked from both sides, it would be better to postpone the street fighting and annihilate the remaining troops outside the city.

"The Japanese's march this time is very covert..." Lin Tianchen was alert. It was obvious that this group of Japanese soldiers did not take the usual route, otherwise they would not have appeared in their northwest direction.

Because they wiped out most of the troops heading towards the city.

........

.....

On the positions of the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments.

After charging for a distance, the two men also consolidated their new position. The attack of the Tiger Brigade truly made them realize what it meant to attack like a tide.

Even the two of them had advanced quite a distance in their command posts, and were now within sight of the city walls.

"Report, all the trenches on the Japanese front line have been taken."

"All the enemy positions outside the city to the west have been cleared, and part of the Second Regiment of the Tiger Brigade has withdrawn."

"The 1st Regiment of the Tiger Guards Brigade opened up the trenches in front of the city, cleared out the enemy's strongholds and bunkers in front of the city gate, and then began to engage the enemy at the city gate. However, the 1st Regiment also withdrew a lot of troops."

As news came in one after another, Kong Jie and Ding Wei observed with binoculars in their hands. Except for the Jincheng City where smoke and fire were always rising, no Japanese resistance was seen. It was obvious that after being attacked by artillery fire and then rushed by the Tiger and Leopard Brigade, the Japanese began to retreat into the city.

Ever since the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Tiger Guard Brigade joined the battle, attacking the city with them has become a completely different concept.

Artillery fire accurately cleared the strongholds, infantry and artillery coordinated the attack, and even the city gate had been broken. They were fighting with the Japanese for the city gate. The city gate was like a death zone. The Japanese wanted to go online to repair the blown-up city gate, but they were greeted with a wave of firepower.

They wanted to climb back up the city wall, gain the upper hand and fire from below, but with every gunshot, Japanese soldiers kept falling off the wall.

"The sharpshooters of the Second Regiment are also very strong." Every time Ding Wei watched the Tiger Brigade's troops fighting, he would always exclaim in surprise.

The sharpshooters of the Second Regiment left a very deep impression in their hearts. This was no longer just a sharpshooter company, but there were many sharpshooters in every company. This also meant that without artillery suppression, if they only fired cold shots from a distance, they would be like the Japanese soldiers in front of them, suppressed and unable to raise their heads.

The cooperation between the first and second groups in front of me was as if they had been training together for a long time.

The regiment under the city wall was maintaining suppression to prevent the Japanese from repairing the city gate, but they were not in a hurry to attack. The sharpshooters of the second regiment continued to exert their strength to suppress the firepower on the city wall.

At the same time, the artillery fire continued to extend into Jincheng City and never stopped.

In the current situation, a strange balance has been formed, and Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked at each other.

"Why not enter the city?" Kong Jie frowned slightly. Now that the city gate has been broken, they only need the coordination of infantry and artillery to break into the city. However, half of the Tiger Brigade has withdrawn from the battlefield.

"I'm afraid they have bigger plans." Ding Wei looked at some soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Regiments who were retreating, and spoke in a serious tone.

Lin Tianchen's command is never static. Although Jincheng was clearly broken, he did not rush to attack. It was obvious that there was a better opportunity.

"Captain, Brigade Lin is calling."

At this time, the person in charge of the telephone immediately laid the line on the front line and spoke hurriedly.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked at each other, and then Kong gestured for Ding Wei to answer the phone.

From a strategic perspective, it is clear that he is more suitable to answer the phone.

"Lin Lu."

Ding Wei did not refuse, but took the call directly.

"It's almost nightfall. You must ensure that the Japanese can't repair the city gates and hold them head-on. I need to get some reinforcements."

The voice on the phone was accompanied by bursts of electric current, but Ding Wei could still hear the words clearly.

"Yes." He replied heavily.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie had no doubt about Lin Tianchen's ability to seize the opportunity in battle, which made the two of them look at each other with serious eyes.

Although they didn't know how long it would take these troops to march, time was not a problem for the two of them. If Lin Tianchen needed one day, then they would take one day. If he needed three days, then they would take three days.

To put it simply, it’s just two words.
