Tonggucheng is an important city and strategic location of the Daman Railway. There is also Keyonggang Airport in the northwest, which is a place where the Japanese army "must occupy quickly". It echoes Prome on the western front and Moltke on the eastern front, forming a barrier to prevent the Japanese army from invading the northern invasion.

After the fall of Dagon City, the colonial army in the colony began to retreat in an all-round way, trying to distance themselves from the pursuit of the Japanese army. In order to gain more time for retreat for the colonial army, the colonial army finally asked for help from the expedition army and ordered them to send troops to support them quickly.

As the vanguard of the Fifth Army, the 200th Division commanded by Dai An went on a night and finally arrived at Tonggu City half a day earlier than the scheduled time. But what Dai An didn't expect was that the colonial army stationed here did not build too many fortifications.

In desperation, the already exhausted combat troops could only deploy defenses on the spot. As for the colonial army stationed here, they quickly retreated to the rear on the night when Dai'an's troops arrived. The news came back to the rear command center, and Hu Biao immediately protested.

Seeing the telegram sent by Hu Biao, Steve said helplessly: "Oh! No wonder this morale will be defeated step by step. Forget it! Forward this telegram to General Dennis, hoping that he can remind his subordinates who this war is!"

As a contact general sent by the Allied forces, Steve also knew that the British colonial army would like to pull out the expedition troops to resist the Japanese army for them, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman. The problem is that the generals of the expedition troops were not all fools!

At least Wei Junru, who received the telegram, also said angrily: "My troops marched together all the way to Tonggu City. There was no time to repair them and they had to face the attack of the Japanese division. Isn't this clear, let my troops be cannon fodder?"

With Hu Biao in front of him, Wei Junru dared not to give face to the British colonial generals. Moreover, after dealing with Steve, he knew that Steve had no more neutral policies, and sometimes he even stood on Hu Biao's side.

When he entered the rear command center, Wei Junru had already learned more about Hu Biao through his own channels. What shocked him was that Hu Biao actually established a huge force and unknown troops in the French colony.

In addition to having an unknown number of troops, Hu Biao also has hundreds of fighter jets. Even the Menian Air Force located in Chuncheng was lucky enough to escape the entire army and was wiped out in the previous round, thanks to Hu Biao's timely dispatch of aviation support troops.

It is precisely because of this kind of strength that Steve and Dennis dare not give Hu Biao face. Secondly, Hu Biao and the so-called mercenary leader Nuvik are said to have a good personal relationship, which makes all parties even more afraid.

In short, whether the expedition troops can ensure the safety of combat in the colonies is simply unreliable. More often, they have to rely on Hu Biao to secretly support. Only in this way can they ensure that the troops will not be cheated while completing their missions!

After receiving protest calls from all parties, Dennis, who retreated early, said helplessly: "Damn it! Why do our generals always do such incompetent things? This will embarrass us in front of our allies!"

"It's better to be embarrassed than to lose one's life! Oh, forget it! Removing the troops safely first, and then adjusting slowly! In this case, it's impossible for us to replace all the generals. Otherwise, the troops will definitely be in chaos!"

After all, England now focuses more on resisting the German invasion. They can't do anything they want to intervene in the Asian colonies. The only thing they can do is to provide financial and political support.

It is precisely because of this that they pulled Menia in and acted as ally. When Menia has declared war on Fuso, they are also ally in a trench. The National Government was also pulled into the same trench by them.

What surprised Dai An was extremely that with the arrival of the inspection team, the rest and rest problem that was originally most worried about was quickly resolved. When the colonial army began to accelerate the evacuation of Tonggu, a large number of young and strong men wearing people's clothes also began to enter the city one after another.

Seeing these young and strong people, Dai An was also curious and said, "Captain Sun, who are these people?"

"The young and strong we recruited! General Dai, please draw a unit of officers to guide them in building fortifications. The rest of the troops should hurry up and rest. If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow will be confronted with the Japanese army!"

When Dai An heard this, he said gratefully: "Thank you! With these people, I can finally breathe a little relieved!"

"It's okay! Anyway, some people have paid the wages for the people they recruited. In addition, all their artillery were detained by me. Let your artillery battalion take over those artillery and build artillery positions overnight!"

"Great! Let's go and see those artillery!"

Dai An was naturally happy to hear that the inspection team had even detained the artillery of the foreign army. Even if he brought an artillery battalion, large-caliber artillery was not suitable for carrying. Once he confronted the Japanese army, he would suffer a lot!

When Dai An and his subordinates came to the arsenal taken over by the inspection team. Looking at the cannons placed in the warehouse, the officers were excitedly said: "Second, are these cannons owned by us?"

Just when Dai An was also curious, Captain Sun smiled and said, "Yes! The premise is that we can win this battle! You must know that tomorrow you will face a Japanese reorganized division, and there will be many Japanese reinforcements in the future!"

"How long will our reinforcements come?"

"It should take a few more days, right? They are all walking, and they are afraid they are not as fast as us!"

"Then let's hold on for a few days! With these artillery and sufficient supplies, weapons and ammunition, it should be fine to delay the Japanese army for a few days with the help of the fortifications built. Pull these artillery away and let the artillery battalion build artillery positions overnight!"

"Yes, teacher!"

As Dai An began to order the troops to rest and rest, the entire Tonggu City became lively and serious. What surprised Dai An was that the young and strong people who entered the city seemed to be very good at building defensive fortifications.

Looking at the built tunnel and anti-cannon tunnel, Dai An was also curious and said, "Where did Captain Sun attract these people?"

"This, the general will know in the future! Don't worry, the people I have found can be used with confidence. After dawn, your troops will be able to enter the outer fortifications and inner city fortifications, and they will also build them quickly!"

"Okay! It seems that I will send a telegram to General Hu to thank him later!"

Captain Sun smiled and didn't say much. The so-called young and strong is actually the engineering troops of the Wolf Army. For these troops, as long as they have sufficient materials and materials, they can build solid fortifications in a short time.

On Tonggucheng, the colonial army left a lot of supplies. After all, all the fortifications were built smoothly. After dawn, all the combat troops that had been resting overnight began to enter the fortifications.

Looking at the excavated anti-aircraft tunnels and bunkers, which could even withstand the attacks of aviation bombs, many officers and soldiers also said in admiration: "Those guys are so amazing! Overnight, such a complete fortification was built!"

"Yes! If we had built it ourselves, it would have taken at least two or three days!"

As soldiers, they all knew that perfect fortifications could greatly increase their chances of survival on the battlefield. As the inspection team began to introduce the purpose of those fortifications to the defensive forces, Dai Yan and his subordinates also felt that it was eye-opening.

Not long after breakfast, Dai An quickly received a telegram from the independent division, informing the Japanese army that a large number of fighter planes had taken off, and the destination was likely Tonggucheng. After receiving the telegram, Dai An immediately ordered: "Order the troops to prepare for air defense!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Dai Yan, who had arranged an air raid guard post, soon heard the sound of air raids in the city. Hearing the sirens, the troops outside quickly entered the excavated air raid shelter and artillery pit holes, and the whole city suddenly became quiet again.

Even when the Japanese fighter jets arrived above Tonggu City, they saw the quiet Tonggu City and said in confusion: "What about you? Why can't you see people in the city? Could it be that those colonial troops have all escaped?"

"No! Look outside the city, it seems that fortifications have been built. They must have been hiding in!"

When the target was not found, the Japanese army could only throw bombs at the outer fortifications. Not long after the bombing, the troops responsible for front-line reconnaissance sent back to the division headquarters, and the Japanese vanguard had arrived telegrams outside Tonggu City.

"These Japanese are so fast! In addition to a squad of infantry, there are more than ten armored combat vehicles, which is a bit troublesome! If artillery soldiers are used, they will probably be bombed by Japanese soldiers soon!"

Just when Dai An felt it was a little tricky, Captain Sun, who was staying in the command center, smiled and said, "General Dai, you seem to have forgotten us! My people are responsible for solving the Japanese armored combat vehicles, and you can solve the Japanese infantry!"

"Do you have weapons to restrain the Japanese chariots?"

"Please keep it confidential!"

After giving such an answer, Dai An didn't say anything more. Not long after, the inspection team sent a platoon combat team member, and the weapons he carried were also a bit incomprehensible. But these team members were quickly dispersed to the forefront of the defensive positions.

The defensive troops who were repairing the fortifications that were blown up soon saw the Japanese troops at the city. When the Japanese troops arrived outside the city, they also felt a little headache when they saw the fortifications built outside the city: "Baga! Why did they build the fortifications so quickly?"

"Your Excellency the fortifications they built should not stop our chariot from advancing. As long as the chariots are taken, we believe that we can break through their positions soon. However, we need to beware of their artillery attacks!"

"Yu Xu! Order the chariot squadron to disperse the assault! Leave a squadron behind the hall, and the rest of the squadrons will attack with the chariot squadron!"

"Hi!"

In order to avoid being taken over by the defensive forces, the Japanese brigade captain quickly made a dispersed assault. Anyway, the area of ​​the defensive positions outside the city is not small, so they only need to open a gap, so the subsequent troops can take the opportunity to enter Tonggu City.
