    At this time, there were only more than 5,000 Japanese troops stationed in Changzhi City.  The loss of a city wall means that they can no longer rely on the city wall to resist the enemy's attack.

    Those enemies can even follow the city wall and surround the entire Changzhi City from above.  Turn them into turtles in a urn.

    "Order the troops to enter the street fighting stage immediately. We must delay the enemy's attack to the greatest extent possible." Honda said, with a look of determination on his haggard face.

    "Yes!! General."

    The Japanese staff officer replied and passed on the order directly.

    During this period, the Japanese army had built a large number of barricade defenses in Changzhi City.  They transformed some of the houses into strong machine gun bunkers.  A large number of defensive positions were also set up on various streets.

    These Japanese troops used block units as units, combined with mobile forces, to provide support and even counterattack at any time.  In this way, they could resist at all levels and not give Xia Yang and the others a chance to advance quickly.

    After successfully capturing the city wall, the troops of the Fourth Army moved forward non-stop.

    Their mortars, rocket nests, and small-caliber mountain cannons all began to be moved to the city wall under the guidance of the soldiers.

    These long-range fire support troops set up their positions on towering city walls.  On the one hand, the shooting range here is good, allowing their firepower to cover almost every corner of Changzhi City.  There is also the ability to get a good view from a high position and see enemy firepower points that need to be attacked at any time.

    After receiving the news that the troops had captured the city wall, Xia Yang immediately issued an order for their attacking troops to make a detour from outside Changzhi City and blockade the Japanese troops in Changzhi City.

    Then he sent two tank regiments, two motorized infantry regiments, and three infantry regiments as advance troops to go around outside Changzhi City and pursue the fleeing Japanese troops.

    The heavy artillery units in the rear also began to move their positions forward, thus making their fire coverage larger.

    As for the troops entering Changzhi City, Xia Yang ordered several regiments to attack in turns.

    On the one hand, it is because Changzhi City is not too big. If too many troops enter at once, they will not be able to spread out.  On the other hand, the streets are narrow, their troops pour in too much, and the intensive firepower of the Japanese army will cause more casualties.

    By making the Japanese troops in Changzhi City unable to stop their pursuing troops, Xia Yang's goal has been achieved.

    As for the Japanese troops besieged in the city, they have become turtles in the urn and only need to be cleaned up block by block.  Even if it takes some effort, it is only a matter of time.

    Xia Yang¡¯s real combat focus has been on the tens of thousands of Japanese troops fleeing.

    For the Japanese troops who were besieged in Changzhicheng, he did not have such a good appetite to eat them.

    The news that the wall of Changji Castle was breached and that Honda Rimoto and his covering troops were besieged in the city soon reached Neji Okamura.

    He picked up the telescope and looked behind him.

    He knew clearly in his heart that the enemy's armored forces must have begun to bypass Changzhi City and pursue them.

    In order to ensure the safe retreat of the main force, he has arranged two regiments of more than 4,000 Japanese troops to block the attack in the rear.  Okamura Neiji guessed that the troops of these two regiments should be able to buy them about twelve hours.

    Within these twelve hours, he must attack Licheng County.  Otherwise, they would have no choice but to break out from the mountains on both sides.

    By that time, they will become more passive.  And if they are not familiar with the mountain terrain, they are likely to encounter other unimaginable difficulties.

    "Order the troops in front to seize the time to attack. Licheng County must be captured before dark." Okamura Neiji said with a trembling voice.

    "yes!!!"

    His staff officer responded.

    But Okamura Neji has issued similar orders many times before.  At this time, he was just repeating what he said before, as if dreaming.

    Although military orders were issued to the troops arriving at the front line one after another, the Japanese troops attacking in the front also tried their best.  Even various long-lived charges and suicide attacks have been used by them.

    But in front of the independent division's rock-solid defense line, they only lost ground after charging again and again.Dozens or even hundreds of corpses were collected, and then receded like a tide.

    They will launch another attack before the blood of those corpses flows cleanly.  But these attacks, in many cases, are just repeating the ending of the last time.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Throw down some corpses again, and then retreat again.

    The position in front of the Japanese army has now become a huge boulder on the coast, resisting the impact of waves again and again, but still standing firm.

    Most of the independent division soldiers in the position were covered in blood at this time.  Many people fight with injuries, and as long as they can still move, they continue to fight here.

    On the position, no one was cleaning up the corpses piled up on and in the trenches.

    Many people from Licheng County took advantage of the break in Japanese attacks to come here to transport the wounded.  But there is no time for these corpses to be transported.  They can only be placed on the position and let the Japanese artillery hit them again and again.

    There is no way around it. Hundreds of people in the stretcher team and ammunition transport team formed voluntarily by Licheng County have been killed by Japanese artillery fire.

    Qiu Guoping looked at the soldiers amid the artillery fire, his eyes full of fear, but still insisted on transporting the wounded from the front line again and again. He was also very moved.

    And his soldiers fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for seven or eight hours without getting any rest.

    He himself went to the front line in person and fought side by side with his soldiers.  With the soldiers of the Third Regiment and the Fourth Regiment, they fought bloody battles with the Japanese army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
