Localized time dilation due to black hole

In the scenario that a black hole could be created and sustained, could a black hole be deployed as a sort of time weapon? Say Town A needs to be temporally quarantined so to speak. Could the military in neighboring Town B deploy a black hole device to "slow" Town A? Could they do this in a way where the time dilation only extends as far as Town A's limits and have negligible effect on Town B?

Basically, the black hole isn't used as a weapon to swallow matter, but rather a tool to hinder an enemy's ability to mobilize at the same pace as you. Would this be possible? And by possible I mean negating the obvious uncertainties regarding the creation of and sustaining of a black hole. If a black hole could be controlled, could it be utilized as I described?

This is "direct matter to energy conversion & operation of pocket universes" levels of Clarketech.

Mobilize? Mobilize what? The enemy has just been removed by a light speed rent in spacetime fired from two systems over. We're just sitting here waiting for them to sign their surrender.
