At the command of the National Salvation Army's siege outside the East Gate, Deng Jinghua suddenly ran to Zhou Cheng, holding the telegram he had just received in his hand. Because he was happy, his mouth could hardly close.

"Good news, leader!"

"Captain Wang sent a telegram from the city: All the artillery soldiers left by the Japanese army in the city were eliminated by us. The command center is also moving towards the north gate, and it should be to break through and remind us to be prepared!"

This result was as expected by Zhou Cheng, and he had already thought about the solution. He began to give orders without thinking: "You send a telegram to Wang Tieshan immediately, don't worry about the Japanese breakout troops, run away, it's no big deal. Their mission is to take down the arsenal and grain warehouse, especially the tens of thousands of shells in the Japanese warehouse. You must grab it for me and don't let the Japanese bombs explode."

"I notify all siege troops that the Japanese army will break through the north gate, but they will definitely leave the troops to defend the city to cover the main force's breakthrough. The more our troops are at this time, the more they cannot be anxious. They must fight steadily and not be beaten by the Japanese at the last moment of winning the pacification."

"Send another telegram to Deputy Commander Tang: Notify all the main forces left behind in the defense zone that I don't care what they use, and I must hold the Japanese sweeping troops. Before noon tomorrow, a sweeping troops cannot enter the fifteen-kilometer range around Pingding City."

Compared with the other three city gates with constant gunfire, Pingding North Gate seems particularly quiet.

There was no movement outside the black and deserted city, and I hadn't even noticed the shadow of the enemy scouts.

Major General Honda suspected that passing the North Gate was a trap, and if he rushed out, he would be surrounded by his opponent.

But the siege troops in the other three directions are too strong. If they break through from them, the troops may be sieve as soon as they rush out of the city gate, and there is no chance to rush out at all.

Although it is risky to break through here, there is at least the possibility of success.

Moreover, there are many troops gathered around me. Even if there are traps outside the city, they still have the ability to compete with the enemy. It is definitely much better than staying in the city and waiting to die.

"Open the city gate, the garrison in the north of the city will fight out first, the command and other troops will follow behind and fight out, everyone will be loaded with bullets and ready to participate in the battle at any time!" Major General Honda looked at the empty orders outside the city.

In less than half a minute, the city gate that was closed in the north gate was opened.

More than fifty Japanese rush out along the cracks in the city gate, rushing and forming battle formations, and then marched quickly and disappeared into the night.

Dozens of Imperial Army and an infantry squad followed closely. After running out for two or three hundred meters without encountering danger, Major General Honda, who was waiting at the city gate, rushed out decisively.

"The regiment commander, monitor the troops at the North Gate report. The Japanese broke through the encirclement and left the city. There were about 300 Japanese and more than 100 puppet troops, with a total force of less than 500." Deputy Chief of Staff Li Honghui rushed into the command center to report.

The eyes that looked at Zhou Cheng were not only admired but also admired.

He said that the Japanese would break through the North Gate and they would really break through there, which was even more powerful than the magician.

After a brief shock, he continued to report: "After the Japanese broke through the siege, they marched directly to the mountains in the northeast direction, as if they were preparing to hide there temporarily?"

Zhou Cheng understood as soon as he heard this: "The Japanese are thief-hearted. If you want to retreat as an advance, you will first give us Pingding City and wait until the front-line sweeping troops come back before taking it back."

"This idea is good, but the Japanese Brigade Commander underestimated the appetite of our National Salvation Army."

"I can't go back if I want them to withdraw!"

"Immediately give orders to the siege troops. After entering Pingding City, the Unique Battalion, the Second Unique Battalion, and the Guard Company will immediately withdraw from the county town. I have a new task for them."

"Reconnaissance Company, Reconnaissance Team, Underground Party, Intelligence Staff, cooperate with two guerrilla squadrons to clear away the remaining enemies in the city and completely take down the city."

"Didn't Wang Tieshan seize all the artillery left by the Japanese in the city? He handed over all the artillery companies to the Unique Battalion and the Unique Battalion. He temporarily strengthened their artillery companies and handed over to the regiment headquarters after the battle was over."

The two independent battalions and guard companies have almost two thousand people. With the mortars and infantry artillery just seized by the reconnaissance squad, the total of more than thirty artillery pieces is over, which can easily fight against a Japanese infantry brigade.

The regiment commander assembled so many troops at once, and he must have planned some big plan, not for the Japanese brigade commander who was running into the mountains.

If this were the case, the team leader would take action when they broke through and would not wait until now.

Two rays of light were shot out quickly with his eyes staring at Zhou Cheng and asked in anticipation: "Captain, do you want to?"

"Fight the Japanese and return to the aid troops!" Zhou Cheng did not hide his thoughts.

"The Japanese brigade commander took retreat as his advance, hid in nearby mountains and waited for the mopping troops to return to the rescue before counterattacking the county town. If we could kill the sweeping troops along the way, he would have to carefully consider his situation and whether he would continue to fight with us here to the end."

"The Chief of Staff is organizing troops to siege the sweeping troops, and we will kill the sweeping troops again. Even if the remaining two sweeping troops return to pacification, they will be beaten by the left-behind troops and suffer heavy casualties. It would be great if more than 3,000 people could be retreated."

"No matter how arrogant the Japanese military brigade commander is, he dare not fight us with more than 3,000 people here."

"It must be as far as we can run! I'm afraid another team will be killed by us!"

"I am most familiar with the Japanese who attacked the Fourth Battalion and the Fourth Battalion. We will use this Japanese to attack the second half of the night tonight and wipe them out in our defense zone!"

"Boom..."

The roar of tanks and armored vehicles was still ringing on the battlefield. One of them bit the Japanese and pursued them. Each tank and armored vehicles killed twenty or thirty Japanese, and the results were very rich.

"Dadada..." A long shot sounded at the roof of the armored vehicle, and the last two Japanese men fell to the ground more than a hundred meters in front of them.

The armored vehicle that had been running back and forth for three or four kilometers finally stopped.

The sound of horse hooves on the battlefield also began to weaken, and cavalrymen returned to the scene with seized weapons and equipment one after another.

Each cavalry carried several rifles on his body, his horse's back was covered with armed belts, and some soldiers came back with light machine guns, with great results.

Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu went straight to the Japanese baggage team and artillery units.

This was the first bombing target of the artillery battalion. At the beginning of the battle, sixteen shells hit the artillery and the large carts of supplies, forcing the Japanese to stay away from them.

Although the Japanese later stole a lot of artillery, they were targeted by the artillery battalion as soon as they arranged the artillery positions. In the next battle, the Japanese artillery battalion was constantly being beaten by the artillery battalion and had no chance to fight back.

After receiving the order to break through, the more responsible Japanese soldiers knew that they would destroy the artillery before retreating, and the more timid artillery soldiers turned their heads and ran away.

So many artillery brought by the Japanese army remained intact, including many mountain artillery that the National Salvation Army wanted.

Chen Zhengyu's goal is them.

Although the artillery battalion is equipped with sixteen large and small mountain cannons, no one will think that they have too many cannons in their hands, and Chen Zhengyu is no exception.

Moreover, there are several main battalions that are not equipped with direct-fired artillery, which require troops to seize on the battlefield.
