As the vanguard brigade of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, the vanguard brigade was basically not blocked from receiving the order to reaching outside Tonggu City. The divisions that followed were all in their way and were not worried about being sneaked out of the sneak attack.

As the Japanese army successfully captured Dagong City, the Japanese army had learned that the colonial army had begun to retreat in full swing, and seemed to plan to withdraw more troops to the Indian colony. Faced with the situation where the colonial army was unwilling to resist, the Japanese army naturally had to seize the opportunity.

In normal times, the Japanese army might appear more cautious when arriving at Tonggu City. But the victory along the way has already made the officers and soldiers of the Pioneer Brigade feel that there is no unit in the colony that dares to confront them.

In addition, the Pioneer Brigade also hopes that there will be defenders in the city, so that when the main force of the subsequent division arrives, the defenders who are staying in the city will have no way to escape. For these reasons, the Pioneer Brigade decisively launched an attack on the defending positions.

Even Dai An, who received the news, was a little angry and said, "These Japanese are really arrogant!"

Captain Sun, the inspector who was staying aside, smiled and said, "Didn't the Japanese always do this? According to our tip, the main force of the Japanese division should be half a day away from this infantry brigade. Will the general not eat the meat delivered to the door?"

"you mean?"

"Take this infantry brigade in one fell swoop, so that the escaped colonial troops know what an army is!"

"Okay! If it is a corps, it will probably be a bit difficult to wipe it out completely, and a brigade will be fine!"

For Dai An, the 200th Division he commanded was undoubtedly the vanguard of the expedition army. The victory in the first battle means differently to the expedition army. Only a victory may change the foreign army’s view of them!

With the Japanese vanguard brigade, only one squadron was reserved to exclude the rest of the troops. The Japanese chariots in charge of the leading position also began to attack the defensive positions, with vehicle-mounted machine guns and artillery fired first.

The Japanese infantry following behind the chariot also kept their combat formations and moved forward. The defenders and soldiers lying in the trenches began to take good care of this scene. However, the position commanders looked at the bazooka players.

According to the orders conveyed by the division headquarters, these people were responsible for solving the Japanese chariots, and the Japanese infantry that followed was responsible for them. When the Japanese chariots were still four hundred meters away from the position, the supervisor said: "Prepare!"

Considering the effective range of the rocket launcher and the optimal armor-breaking distance, the supervisory team has informed the position commander in advance that they will put the Japanese chariots to a distance of 200 meters. Only after the chariots are destroyed will the position defenders start to counterattack.

The result was obvious that the Japanese brigade captain who was staying behind to watch the battle, saw that the defenders at the position had no movement, and said unexpectedly: "What about? These defenders are so calm! Could it be that there is any conspiracy?"

"The closer the distance, the greater the possibility of our chariot breaking through. As long as the chariot breaks through the opponent's trenches, the infantry that follows up will definitely completely defeat the defenders. At that time, we can penetrate directly into the rear of the defenders and let them completely collapse!"

Just as the Japanese commanders were looking forward to the chariot breaking through the defense line, the supervisors responsible for destroying the chariots from time to time to observe the Japanese chariots in other directions. Until these chariots entered a range of 200 meters, the players finally took action.

"emission!"

With a crisp "swoosh", a rocket shot straight towards the Japanese armored combat vehicle. When the first rocket successfully hit the Japanese combat vehicle and exploded, the deputy shooter next to him immediately fired.

With two rockets penetrating and attacking, the Japanese chariots were basically difficult to escape. While the Japanese army was shocked, looking at the Japanese chariots lying on their backs, the position commander immediately said: "Fight!"

The defenders who had been preparing for a long time immediately pulled the trigger in their hands. The Japanese infantry who followed up were soon suppressed at the front of the position and could not move. Both sides also began to shoot at the position.

At the same time, the supervisors who cooperated with the bazookaman also began to join the ranks of defensive operations. These supervisors were all equipped with sniper rifles without exception, and specifically picked up Japanese grenades to fight with the sergeants.

Looking at the fallen Japanese grenadiers and machine gunners, the pressure on the defenders on the position was instantly reduced. On the other hand, the Japanese army, which was suppressed at the forefront of the position, began to become panic and didn't know what to do!

"Damn it! The defenders on the position are not colonial troops, but Chinese troops! They came so quickly!"

The Pioneer Brigade did not receive the news that the 200th Division took over Tonggu City. It was obvious that they were stunned by the sudden counterattack. When the retreat whistle sounded, the defenders at the position immediately launched a counterattack.

"Run! Kill!"

Faced with the defenders gulf that had been shot out of the positions, more than half of the Japanese vanguard brigade were unable to resist. After losing those chariots, they did not have much counterattack or defense. However, the defenders had movable mortars.

Once the Japanese army was ready to counterattack on the spot, the defenders brought mortars and raided the remaining Japanese army three kilometers away. Dai An ordered the troops to withdraw their troops. The pursuit troops returned immediately and began to clean the battlefield and continue to prepare for war.

Just when the defenders were curious about the supervision team, the supervision team that cooperated with the cooperation had already left the defensive position. Dai An was also very happy to hear the report from his subordinates: "Captain Sun, this victory is also thanks to your supervision team!"

"General Dai, if you know the character of our teacher, I believe you should know how to reply to the command center? This small victory has nothing to do with our supervision team, and we have never appeared. What I mean, do you understand?"

Listening to what Captain Sun said, Dai An thought for a while and said, "Okay, I know what you mean!"

"Thank you for your understanding, General! This time the Japanese suffered a loss. If you launch an attack next time, you will probably gather heavily. While there is still time, we will continue to stabilize the fortifications. This Tonggu City will probably last for a few more days!"

"Okay, please trouble you!"

"It's okay! As a friendly army, it's natural for each other to help each other! By the way, the wounded people from your headquarters should be handed over to us. In the rear, we set up a field hospital where they will receive proper treatment!"

"Ah! You have all established a field hospital?"

Faced with such surprise, Captain Sun just smiled and said nothing. The more he did, Dai An became more interested in Hu Biao and the independent division. In his opinion, it was indeed their luck to have such a friendly army!

Seeing that there were finally no pursuers behind him, the hundreds of surviving Japanese soldiers seemed relieved. Faced with such a crushing defeat, the infantry captain could only send a report to the division and inform the news that a large number of elite national troops had appeared in Tonggu City.

At this time, Captain Sun looked at the destroyed chariot, entered the internal inspection and said, "General Dai, there are several chariots that should still be useful. Move it to the position and may act as a machine gun position and a fixed turret!"

"That's right! OK, I'll have someone make arrangements right away!"

As a vanguard unit, Dai Yan commanded the 200th Division is the only one in the national army with a small number of tanks and armored vehicles. These tanks and armored vehicles are also the equipment handed over to the expeditionary army by the colonial army earlier.

Although the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles have lost power, some machine guns and artillery can be used. Putting them on defensive positions can also serve as machine gun positions and turrets. Waiting for the Japanese army to launch an attack may surprise the Japanese army.

After all, if the Japanese army wants to destroy such machine guns or artillery positions, only artillery fire can destroy them. As for the attacking infantry, even the grenade launcher is useless. To be honest, it should be safer than hiding in a trench.

What's more, after Captain Sun's guidance, these powerless tank and armored vehicles were almost half buried on the position on the trench side. When used, you only need one or two people to use the machine gun and artillery.

When the Japanese remnants asked for help from the rear division, Dai An also pointed forward and sent a good news. Even if only one Japanese vanguard brigade was severely damaged, nearly a thousand Japanese devils and dozens of armored tanks could be eliminated, which would be a victory for the expedition!

Wei Junru, who received the telegram, said happily: "Not bad! Dai Yan is still trustworthy!"

"Well! Indeed! Perhaps as General Hu said, your troops are more lost in equipment than Fusang's army. In terms of heroic combat, your troops are all first-class. Forward this telegram to General Denis!"

The colonial army was afraid that the Japanese would catch up, so they began to retreat to the rear like a desperate situation. On the other hand, the expedition army had just arrived in Tonggu City and severely damaged the Japanese vanguard brigade. With this comparison, I believe Dennis would feel ashamed!

"This should be unlikely? Will they falsely report their results?"

"Do you think it's possible? If they want to falsely report their achievements, why not report more? Our First Division couldn't wait for the Japanese army to arrive, but what about them? It's embarrassing to destroy so many Japanese troops as soon as they arrived!"

Dennis felt it was unlikely to have his subordinates’ suspicions. During this period, the defeat of the colonial army really made him feel embarrassed. However, some generals of the army had made up their minds to return to the Indian colony as soon as possible.

In the eyes of these generals, since the country has decided to give up the colony here, why should they defend themselves? During this period, there have been many troops killed in the colony, and no one wants to become the next dead, right?

Compared with the officers and soldiers who were killed, those captured by the Japanese were said to have a more unoptimistic outcome. Some officers and soldiers who were rescued by the White Bear Commando also said bluntly that they would rather die on the battlefield than be captured by the Japanese army.

Because for the Japanese army, they did not abide by the so-called prisoner of war convention. Prisoners who fell into the hands of the Japanese would be tortured very badly. In this case, the colonial army's fear of the Japanese army was even worsened.

If you don’t want to die or become a prisoner of war, then the choice left to the colonial army will naturally be left to retreat quickly. Anyway, the National Government has agreed to send more than 100,000 troops to the expedition, so let the troops to resist the Japanese army for them.
